The Struggle History of the Fourteenth Qing Dynasty

The two of them got back a little bit of the meaning of the past, but it was more about the two of them shopping together, with a little bit of leisurely meaning.

It's a pity that the Fourteenth Master turned his head and glanced at the seventy or eighty "light bulbs" behind him. It would be great if there were no them.

It is impossible for him to get rid of these people. Since he was tied up with Kangxi on his southern tour for the first time, there were no less than thirty people following him when he went out. Sometimes, seventy or eighty, hundreds of people Both.

As for Nian Gengyao, he also had personal attendants and personal guards by his side.

If the two of them want to be alone, they have to be in the study, and they have to show that they have some secrets to discuss. At this time, those people will retreat.

This is a chance to be alone.

The two of them were not in a hurry, they walked slowly and bought some things, a little girl sold their own mushroom girl, this kind of little food is a bit delicate to eat, but the Fourteenth Master likes it.

A group of old men ate mushroom girls and arrived at Panjiayuan's glass workshop.

It used to be the Panjiayao, where bricks and tiles were fired, but it was later bought by the Fourteenth Lord, who had a bit of a "Panjiayuan" plot.

He had been to Panjiayuan in his previous life, and there were many legends and anecdotes there.

But now it is a fire kiln in the suburbs of Beijing. After he bought it, he started to develop glass.

It has been three or five years before it has achieved any results. The people here are all servants of the fourteenth master who bought a death contract.

Including those old craftsmen, but the Fourteenth Lord was very kind to them. As long as they researched it, they might exchange the death contract of sale contract for a living contract, and they might even get out of slavery.

Future generations do not need to be slaves!

This is good news for old craftsmen.

For this, they will study desperately.

What's more, the fourteenth master has nothing to say to them, they pay wages, have three days off every month, provide food and shelter, and the whole family is warmly dressed and well fed.

In this case, can you not research it?

And not only has it been researched, but there are also large pieces of glass with high transparency and large molding size, even including optical glass, which is the most transparent glass.

They have artificially made a telescope, a binocular telescope.

It's just that Master Fourteen didn't make it public, he wanted to surprise Kangxi.

Because so far, the telescopes used in the Qing Dynasty are all monocular telescopes, and they are all imported products. Not to mention the limited multiples, the production technology is not in the hands of their own people.

In fact, only one or two countries in the world that can make high-power telescopes have such technology, and they are protected as secrets, so the technology cannot be leaked out.

So Fourteenth Master had to find someone to study by himself.

Nian Gengyao didn't see it that way. After he arrived, he wasn't interested in technology, and several old craftsmen didn't let people watch their production process.

What he looked at was the self-developed telescope.

"The binoculars seem to be farther away." Nian Gengyao held the binoculars and looked at them seriously.

"Of course, this is a telescope with a higher magnification." Fourteenth Master was very proud.

"If it is used on sea ships, it will be like a tiger with wings added!" Nian Gengyao was excited: "If all the scouts are assigned... wouldn't they be able to see farther?"

For the battlefield, at any time, being one step ahead is more important than anything else!

One step at a time and one step at a time, if you can predict the enemy's opportunity, wouldn't it be a great advantage?

"Glass has many uses. Today's glass mirrors are selling very fast, and the money I earn can make up for my research funds over the years." The Fourteenth Master made a mistake: "When I earn back, I will put This workshop was merged with the Firearms Bureau."

These are all his painstaking efforts.

"Yeah!" Nian Gengyao felt that besides making money, Master Fourteen could also develop other things by the way, which is great.

After seeing these things, Nian Gengyao was very excited: "Although Lord Fourteen's military achievements are not high, he will definitely be famous forever."

The Fourteenth Lord formed the Royal Navy Fleet of the Qing Dynasty.

The firearms developed have brought the Qing Dynasty's armed forces to a higher level.

"That's it, who is my master? Let's go, my master invites you to eat roasted whole lamb." The fourteenth master took Nian Gengyao and went to the roasted sheep shop again.

At this time, the roast sheep shop is actually fully booked, but there is always a small yard reserved for the fourteenth master. The fourteenth master can come at any time, and there is room for him at any time.

Not only is it only for the fourteenth master, the small yard is big enough for the fourteenth master and the people he brought to eat.

A roasted whole lamb is eaten by five or six people, and the Fourteenth Master brought six NO.70 people to eat the roasted whole lamb.

So I tested twelve of them in one breath, and the fourteenth master and Nian Gengyao ate one. Nian Gengyao's dagger is good, and it is more agile than the fourteenth master. He gave the fourteenth master a lot of fat and tender slices. roast lamb.

The Fourteenth Master also gave him a leg of lamb: "Eat, this meal is a treat for you, you can eat all you can eat roasted lamb, and you can drink haggis soup as you like!"

"Thank you Fourteenth Master!" A group of people thanked.

Fourteenth Master quietly put the roasted lamb eggs on Nian Gengyao's plate.

Nian Gengyao was eating happily, and when he looked down at this thing, his expression was indescribable: "Master Fourteen, I...you don't need to eat this."

He has no one else to live that kind of life. He is exhausted by practicing martial arts every day. The person he cares about, although he is in love with each other, but the two of them don't even kiss each other, most of them touch hands, let alone what.

It's all suffocated like this, and you still eat roasted sheep eggs, isn't this adding fuel to the fire?

Or... what is Master Fourteen implying?

The Fourteenth Master coughed lightly: "It's okay, let's taste it, there is only one thing for every sheep."

"If it grows two, it's a snake." Nian Gengyao hesitated for a moment, cut open the roasted goat egg with a knife, and ate it. It tasted pretty good, just thinking that he had to mess around at night.

As a result, on their way back, they met Tong Jiaqinggui who came out. He is the chief history of the fourteenth master's palace. In the past, his mother thought he was ignorant, but he turned out to be the most promising son of their family and became the prince's mansion. What about long history!

"Master Fourteen, just in time, I met you." Tong Jiaqinggui was overjoyed seeing them: "There is news from Xiaotangshan, the hot spring courtyard has been built, please come and enjoy the fourteenth master?"

The Fourteenth Master had developed a hot spring courtyard a long time ago, which was on the hillside of Kangxi's Xiaotangshan Palace.

There is flowing hot spring water, and the bath is quite comfortable. The weather is getting cold at the moment, and a hot bubble bath is definitely a pleasure.

"Really?" The Fourteenth Master looked at him: "You came to me just for this?"

"No, just by the way, the servant is going to buy some things for the mansion. Before you came back, I decided to buy some autumn vegetables." Tong Jiaqinggui said: "The eldest mother wants to pickle a lot of sauerkraut. Said to cook sauerkraut stewed goose in winter."

"Then you go, Master, go and have a look at that place." The Fourteenth Master had an idea, and said inadvertently: "Lianggong and Master, go and have a look."

Nian Gengyao didn't want to go, he didn't think it was worth traveling so far to soak in the hot springs.

It's not bad to go home and take a hot bath!

But Master Fourteen thought so, so he had no choice but to nod: "Okay."

The whole journey was swift and fast, and I rushed out before closing the city gate, and went to Xiaotangshan Bieyuan.

Today's Xiaotangshan is not what it used to be. Not to mention the prosperity of the villages and towns, the emperor built the Xiaotangshan Palace here.

And the surrounding unowned land was occupied by some dignitaries.

Because there is the vegetable shed of the Fourteenth Master here, the people nearby either work in the vegetable shed, or the Fourteenth Master leases their land to grow vegetables. In the past, if there was a palace, those dignitaries would buy the surrounding land , and then build a separate courtyard, maybe when there is an accompanying driver, besides, being able to have a separate courtyard next to the palace is a symbol of status, and it is even closer to the Long Live God.

What if I'm lucky enough to meet Lord Long Live?It's not like this happened.

But Xiaotangshan can't do it. First of all, the Fourteenth Master has a large piece of land here.

Secondly, the people here are all working for the fourteenth master. If the family is moved, the fourteenth master will know immediately.

Who is Master Fourteen?

That is the prince elder brother who has been spoiled by the Long Live God since he was a child, and is currently the only prince with double salaries.

His mother-in-law is Concubine De, and his brother is Prince Yong.

As long as he dares to touch his interests, no one can protect him.

Lessons learned from the past, Prince Abandoned, King Zhijun, King Chengjun and Lian Baylor, each of these four is tougher than the other, so they have given way to the Fourteenth Lord?It is still the oral order issued by the Lord Long Live himself.

So this is a rare site that has not been divided by those powerful people after it has become prosperous.

Now there is a very prosperous night market here, and there are many shops here. There is a curfew in the capital, but there is no such thing here.

After the group arrived, they couldn't ride on horseback, so they led the horses and walked in the night market. It was quite interesting. Nian Gengyao was even "abandoned" by the Fourteenth Master for a while, and the Fourteenth Master went to buy something. I bought it at a big cosmetics shop, very expensive five taels of silver a box of balm.

Others also bought some things from the night market. What's interesting is that at this time, there are still fresh tender corn, the kind that can be eaten directly after cooking, which is not common in autumn.

There are lamb kebabs, naan cakes, and wontons with various fillings.

As far as the entrance of their courtyard, the people in the night market were quite courageous. They dared to set up a stall not far from the entrance of the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, selling wontons stuffed with mutton and scallions.

The other courtyard of the Wangfu is very large, and the most authentic one is that there is a large bathing pool in the Dongkua courtyard, which can hold more than a dozen people, and the inside is warm spring water.

Next to it is a small bridge connected by wooden floors, which is small and chic.

On the other side of Xiao Qiao is a Tang-style room, with paper sliding doors, Arhat couch, imperial concubine couch and so on.

There is also a Su embroidered screen of the Four Gentlemen of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, and the dressing rooms on both sides are full of clean bathrobes.

But when the fourteenth master came, he didn't go to the place to take a bath. What time is it?

After they arrived, they just settled down. The Fourteenth Master lived in the main courtyard, Nian Gengyao lived in the guest courtyard, and the others were scattered. There are more than a dozen servants here, all of whom have been trained for a long time, and all of them can massage Craftsmen.

It's just that they came too late.

After coming in, after being settled properly, I went to sleep directly, taking a bath or something, I have no interest at all!

Nian Gengyao didn't sleep well that night. He woke up the next day and practiced sword skills in the yard for an hour before washing up and going to have breakfast with Master Fourteen.

The breakfast here is very special, a big bowl of beef noodles in clear soup for one person, the noodles are covered with sliced ​​beef, and baked buns filled with beef.

After breakfast, Fourteenth Master remembered that he took Nian Gengyao to visit this other courtyard.

"It's my first time here, let's see what it looks like here? It's been built for several years." The fourteenth master is actually very optimistic about this courtyard, after all, it's a good place to soak in the hot springs in winter.

"It's not bad here." Nian Gengyao could tell that the courtyard here was built with great care, even some bricks and stones were carved.

"If you like it, I will give you one next to you." The Fourteenth Master said, "The large area here belongs to my master. I bought it back then, and now my master is well developed."

Isn't that right, the land price in Xiaotangshan is very high now.

"Okay!" Nian Gengyao was not polite to Fourteenth Master: "I can build a house next door to you if I want, as long as I have a place to live next to your courtyard."

The fourteenth master laughed aloud: "Okay!"

The flowers and plants planted in the other courtyard are higher than the ground to prevent the ground from being too hot and burning the plants.

At this time, there is nothing to see, they are all litter.

But Master Fourteen found the yard with the bath!
