Road to Shunzhi

In this world, it doesn't mean that if you don't want to fight, you don't have to fight.In April, Annan King Li Weiqi once again sent envoys to Beijing. This time, they sent many gifts, all of which were real gold and silver.

Annan had always been ruled by the Li family before, but now it was divided into two parts, the north and the south, the Zheng Song group in the north, and the Ruan Huang group in the south.Although the Li family is still sitting on the throne, it has long been emptied.The current king is completely a puppet in Zheng Song's hands.Both Zheng Song and Ruan Huang wanted to get the support of the Qing Dynasty. After all, the Qing Dynasty was the most powerful among the nearby countries, and having a strong back-up support would do them no harm.

Fulin is clear about the entanglement between them.The five buckets of gold sand given during the Chinese New Year are still dangling in front of his eyes, and now they have turned into so many real gold and silver. Fighting against gold dust, and then pitifully asking for more rewards.

Gao Sai fully understood the meaning of the emperor, and fought some verbal lawsuits with Annan's envoys, as if he had promised everything, but in fact he had nothing.Annan's envoy was sent back to the country politely, only to realize that his errand was a mess and he didn't get any benefits.

Annan's tribute was handed over to the treasury, and the emperor gave some to the meritorious ministers.Among them was a box of sparkling rubies, which Fulin gave to the queen.The queen loved this bright color the most, she couldn't put it down immediately, and ordered someone to make a necklace, which she wore every day.

Ren Na herself was beautiful, which matched this string of necklaces very well. Fulin held her in his arms, picked up a gem and looked at it: such a gem is worth a bucket of gold, right?Not to mention so many boxes?Annan cried poor all the time, is he so rich?The former is arrogant and the latter is respectful, this heart can be punished.

"Ah, my son didn't see it!"

"My daughter didn't see it either!"

Suddenly there was a duet of childish voices outside the door, and the voice of "Master, please slow down" from a distance, Ren Na immediately sat upright, trimmed her hair, blushed slightly, and said angrily: "The servants outside Woolen cloth?"

Hua Tuan hurriedly came in and knelt down, saying: "Damn it, servant." It seemed that the emperor would eat here, but she just went to give orders to the small kitchen.Hua Meng'an knelt beside her and pleaded guilty again and again, he was going to relieve himself.

Ren Na asked the two to stand up. When she was alone with the emperor, she always didn't like others to serve her. She was used to it, but as a parent, she always felt a little embarrassed when her children saw them making out.

Fulin didn't take it seriously at all, instead he beckoned the two children over and began to quiz them on their homework.Jing Er and Shan Shan have always been fearless, but Ama, who was a little afraid of them, suddenly became more honest than Quail, and obediently came to answer the question.These days, they will go to the Prince Regent's Mansion every other day after the study room is over, and Dorgon will use the method of storytelling to tell them some historical events, and then ask them to talk about their feelings next time .

"What did your Mafa say yesterday?" Both children did well in their homework, and Fulin expressed his satisfaction, then asked about other things.

Jing E replied politely: "It's the story of two peaches killing three men."

Shan Shan was more generous than him, and said: "Ama, at the beginning, I thought these three people were so stupid that they lost their lives because of two peaches. After thinking about it, I realized that it was a trick, and they were all burdened by loyalty." , but just happened to be exploited by someone.”

Jing E retorted: "My sister's words are wrong. These three people have to be eliminated. Yan Zi is resourceful and generous. Let them find their own way of death."

Fulin asked: "Then do you think those three warriors can be used together?"

Jing E thought for a while, and said: "Yes. These three men are brave enough to win the three armies. They can kill tigers, repel the enemy, and rescue the king. And these three men are gentlemen who protect their reputation and chivalry with their lives."

Coral curled her lips: "Then they are so powerful, what should we do about it?"

Jing E replied: "They are not too hard to kill."

The two children often argued with each other at Dorgon's place, and developed a habit of talking to each other in front of Fulin.Fulin was very pleased.Although the idea is still naive, it is quite good for children of a few years old.

Jing Er got an ancient inkstone and a few good brushes, but Coral clamored for a musket. Fulin put on a straight face and said that when she was ten years old, she would give her the musket and send someone to teach her how to play.

After years of unremittingly spending money, firearms are no longer as mysterious as they were in the beginning.Sure enough, the East India Company has the right. Although the export of firearms is prohibited, Cord can still get some, but the price is not low.Gao Sai and Chang Shu had many quarrels and lawsuits with them, and in the end, they exchanged the top firearms of the current maritime overlords Holland and Portugal with a lot of money.

Then, the emperor did something that made everyone feel sorry—he sent people to pull the artillery to the firearms research base of the Ministry of Industry and dismantle it.

Foreigners' guns are not exactly the same as their casting methods. Those craftsmen who have been immersed in them all their lives can naturally see the difference, and they are all motivated to make more perfect firearms.Finally, the Qing Dynasty also made the first self-developed musket capable of firing continuously, which can fire ten bullets in a row, which is simply the originator of the submachine gun.Fulin took this scientific and technological achievement and expressed his joy.

At the same time, Chen Yonghua was not buried in Wuqing, and he implemented compulsory education.Fulin expressed his admiration for his actions, so the ancients should not be underestimated. They do not lack any wisdom that modern people have. Modern people just have more vision than ancient people.Chen Yonghua's compulsory education measures are very perfect, and even made changes for the unique slavery of the Qing Dynasty: all school-age children of slaves, as long as the master is willing, can also study, but the place where they study is different from the place where children of innocent people study That's all.Of course, Chen Yonghua will not treat masters who are willing to let their servants study badly, and will make them famous.

Of course, compulsory education requires money.Chen Yonghua built a huge stone tablet in Wuqing. All the local gentry who support education can engrave their names on it, and it will last forever.Moreover, he dragged the emperor into the water, and he still had many rewards from the emperor, all of which were displayed one by one, so that all visitors could see it, to show that he was quite favored.

A person with grace, skill and a future would naturally not offend anyone. Compulsory education was vigorously promoted in Wuqing, and many children from poor families finally went to school.Chen Yonghua personally wrote the textbooks, arranged the tutorials, and divided the school into three grades, high school and low school. Each grade has different homework and different textbooks.But they have one thing in common: they all have a homework for ideological education, euphemistically called "Minzhi", which is devoted to loving the country and loving the emperor.All children who are old enough to advance to a grade have to take the exam, and this homework is compulsory.If the test is not passed, then the child is not eligible to continue studying.

By the way, isn't the chief helmsman Chen Jinnan really time-traveling?His items are clearly laid out, with good reasons, and he has thought carefully about the source of funds for the continuation of compulsory education, and even considered the practical problem that the number of people engaged in agriculture and mulberry will decrease after the number of scholars increases.

Sure enough, he recruited a talent.Fulin decided that once the three-year period came, Chen Yonghua would be brought back to serve as the Minister of Education of the whole country.In order to show his importance to talents, Fulin ordered Liang Huafeng to go to Taiwan to assist Shi Lang, restrain Shi Lang from doing whatever he wanted, and allow normal exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

While Fulin was lamenting for Chen Yonghua, his fourth son was also one year old.The birth mother of the fourth son of the emperor, Yongqian, is Concubine Wan. As the only concubine in the palace, Yongqian's first birthday banquet was also extremely lively.Fulin took Dorgon to watch Yongqian's Zhuzhou. Yonggan was not as white, tender and plump as Jinger was, but he was wrapped up in a little red cannonball, waddling around, still very cute .Dorgon said: "The emperor was like this when he was a child, he laughed when he saw people." Then he hugged Yonggan and coaxed: "Si elder brother can get whatever he wants, you know?"

Everyone in the harem knew the importance of Dorgon to the emperor, Concubine Wan was overjoyed, and said to Yonggan: "Be good, listen to your Mafa."

Yonggan blinked and shouted sweetly at Dorgon: "Mafa!"

Jing Er and Shan Shan expressed jealousy, and rushed forward, each holding Dorgon's thigh, acting like a baby, for fear that Mafa would be snatched away.The scene was chaotic, and the older Fuquan put his hands behind his back, pretending not to see such embarrassing and childish behavior of his younger siblings, and sighed leisurely.

Yonggan grabbed a writing brush very safely, which was the result of Concubine Wan's education for several nights: the emperor already had two sons, and it would be better for the fourth child to be more stable.What's more, Concubine Wan is a Han Chinese, and the best result of Yongqian is to become a prince. Therefore, Concubine Wan has long made up her mind to follow Shuo Sai as an example and strive to train her son to be like that.

Shuo Sai's iron hat king is certain.There was a corruption case in Jiangsu. When Fulin was furious, he sent Shuo Sai to deal with it.Zhu Guozhi, the governor of Jiangsu, was punished for the crime, and as Shuo Sai's deputy, he dealt with corruption.The Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas have always been prosperous, and there have been no major disasters in these years. Money is inevitable.What's more, Jiangsu is still close to the sea, and the imperial court has not banned the sea. Many courageous young people raise money to buy ships and go to sea to do business. As long as they can come back alive, they will bring back amazing wealth.

Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts.Fulin has already dealt a severe blow to corruption, but in the face of money, they seem to not even care about the threat to their lives.What's more, all of these released officials are local emperors, and everyone wants to make more money.And every official will pay filial piety to his superiors, and there are also those who give away women and concubines to each other, forming a layer-by-layer relationship network that protects each other. It is simply harder for ordinary people to seek justice.

This kind of interest group is too terrifying, including officials from almost a province.Even the well-informed Shuosai couldn't help but change color when faced with such a big case.

The author has something to say:

If Fulin is not dead, there will be no Kangxi's ascension to the throne, and no reshuffle of new forces.The corruption of the old forces will happen sooner or later. Therefore, dealing with corruption is a big problem in every dynasty and every generation. We must use the determination of a strong man to cut his wrists, eh.
