Qing Chuan Yinhu

Chapter 16...

Yinhu's small life is very comfortable, at least no brothers come to make trouble.But Kangxi called him to the imperial study room this day, which frightened him.

Yushufang, this is the place where Kangxi reviewed memorials, why teach him such a young brother who has not grown up?

After saluting to Kangxi, Kangxi asked: "I heard from the fourth son that you want to send someone to France?"

Yinhu was stunned for a moment, he had discussed this matter with Yinzhen earlier, but because Concubine Tong Guifei was delayed due to illness, he did not expect Kangxi to ask today.

"Returning to Emperor Ama, I heard that six French missionaries including Bai Jin and Zhang Cheng came to our Qing Dynasty, and presented many scientific and technological instruments and books they brought from France. I want these French missionaries to come to our country. The Qing Dynasty naturally admires my Qing Tianwei. They came here to know everything about us. But we know very little about France and Germany. How big is the population, how big is the area, whether the people are rich, how about the army, my sons and daughters Everyone wants to understand, so I want to send some people to France and Germany to have a look."

Kangxi thought for a while, and said: "Send someone over there to find out? These missionaries came to my Daqing, and I sent people to monitor them. It is impossible for them to know my Daqing like the back of their hands."

Yinhu hurriedly said: "Emperor Ama is wise, I just want to know where these countries are. The ancients said: read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. Now that there are French books for my son to read, I naturally want to send them People go to the field to see if it is consistent with what is written in the book."

Kangxi laughed and said, "Just now I said that I want to understand all aspects of the family, but now I want to see if it is consistent with what is written in the book. Come to me to be sloppy? Tell me honestly, what exactly do you want to do?"

Yinhu sighed: "Huang Ama, what I'm saying now comes from the bottom of my heart, I ask Huang Ama to pardon my son's innocence."

Kangxi saw that he had a serious face, he didn't look like a six or seven-year-old child at all, so he also became serious: "I forgive you for your innocence, just say it."

Yinhu sorted out his thoughts: "Huang Ama, do you think my Qing Dynasty is rich and powerful, with countless rare treasures?"

Kangxi replied: "Of course, I have countless treasures from the Qing Dynasty."

"Then France and Germany are also rich and powerful with countless treasures?"

Kangxi thought for a while: "This...."

Yinhu continued: "We don't know anything about France and Germany. My son is still young and doesn't know much about military and state affairs. I just read an old saying by chance a few days ago: Every man is innocent but he is guilty. Now our country is rich and the people are strong. Naturally, I am not afraid that other countries will covet the treasures of our Qing Dynasty. But you, Emperor Ama, know the past and the present. There have been times of prosperity and weakness in all dynasties. I want to find out the specific situation of Germany and France. Know if they will be robbers coveting my treasures of the Qing Dynasty in a hundred years or a thousand years."

Kangxi thought for a while, and felt that there seemed to be some truth: "Then send someone to have a look?"

Yinhu replied: "I feel that these missionaries will not bring us the best things in their country, so I want to send someone to see what the best things are in their country. If they have countless treasures, naturally They will not covet my Qing Dynasty, but if they live in poverty, and now our country is rich and the people are strong, they naturally dare not have any crooked ideas about my Qing Dynasty, but if my country is not so strong in a hundred thousand years, they will It might be a bad idea."

The emperor of the Kangxi generation, who knows the past and the present, naturally understands the reason for the change of dynasties.Although it is not pleasant for Yinhu to say that the national power is weak and coveted by others, he also understands that this is inevitable.The reason why the emperor's father was able to come to this Beijing city to become the emperor was not because the Han country itself had problems and its national power was greatly reduced.Coupled with the coveting of the precious land in the Central Plains, the soldiers of the Eight Banners will risk their lives?

What Yinhu said made sense, but he couldn't be mediocre.Thinking of this, Kangxi said: "My Qing Dynasty has no border with France and Germany. Could it be that they can cross the country and attack us?"

Yinhu replied, "Huang Ama, when I was studying history, I found that the Yuan Dynasty had a vast territory and many countries did not border him, but they also surrendered to the iron cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty. Moreover, the Zheng family was from Taiwan was seized by the Dutch. Where are the Dutch from? It is estimated that they are not far from Germany and France, so we don’t know much about these countries. I checked the history of the Ming Dynasty and found that a country called Portugal has long leased and occupied the south of me. A small island. If they have a different heart after a hundred thousand years, they will use this as a base to harass our country. The Dongying people have coveted our country for a long time, and they burned, killed and looted our coastal cities. They were called Japanese pirates. In the Ming Dynasty there were A general who became famous for fighting the Japanese. Our country is strong, and they dare to plunder. If... I am not alarmist. It's just that I read a lot today and think a lot. The ancients said that I was prepared for danger in times of peace, so I discussed with my fourth brother. Those countries that don’t understand have a look, understand their national conditions, know themselves and know each other. Please give permission from Emperor Ama.”

Kangxi felt that although Yinhu's words were not pleasant, the starting point was still good.Especially the phrase "be prepared for danger in times of peace".Kangxi deeply believed that he was an emperor when he was young, and he walked on thin ice every step of the way.Although the current prince is extremely intelligent, he has not experienced cruel struggles, and it is hard to say whether he will become a wise king in the future.Even if the prince is also a Mingjun, who can guarantee that the Qing Dynasty will be a Mingjun from generation to generation?What Xiaoba said is not unreasonable.

"Who does Xiaoba think to send?" Kangxi asked

"I think it is better to send someone who Huang Ama can trust. Such a person will not hide anything from Huang Ama. We should also send a few missionaries who are familiar with the route and can serve as translators. I have another ruthless thing please."

"You said."

"I think we should bring back some foreign food crops. It is best to find a piece of land to plant them specially to see if the foreign food is high-yield. If we can grow high-yield and delicious food, my people in the Qing Dynasty will no longer have to I'm worried about a famine." This Kangxi attaches great importance to agriculture, so it's better to do what he likes.It's not too late to send someone to make money when you know the route.Now that I don't have any power, it's better to keep a low profile.

After hearing this, Kangxi was really happy and said yes repeatedly. "Xiao Ba can think of the people of the world, he is indeed a descendant of my Aixinjueluo family. I will send a team to sea in a few days."

Yinhu hurriedly said: "Huang Ama is wise and powerful."

Kangxi smiled and said: "Don't be so busy flattering, you have to study hard when you go back. I know you have a lot of ghost ideas, you will question the sages and know how to think, which is very good. But you still have to read and memorize the works of the sages, and you must not lose everything. do you know?"

"My son obeys."

"Then you kneel down?"

"My son, I will leave." After leaving the imperial study, Yinhu broke out in a cold sweat. Being with the emperor is really hurtful!

Before walking a few steps, Yinzhen came over and said worriedly: "I heard that you were called to the imperial study by Huang Ama, are you alright?"

Yinhu chuckled: "It's okay, Huang Ama has agreed to send people to France and Germany."

Seeing him happy, Yinzhen also smiled: "Since the matter is settled, let's go to Fourth Brother to celebrate."

Yinhu nodded and said yes.
