First Prince of Qing Dynasty

post house.

His subordinates asked Wen Chun: "Master, why didn't you ask the prince for help? The prince is right. We are guests. If we have something to report to the Li Fan Yuan, wouldn't it be more convenient for them to come forward? Taji Guli is our man, Now that he is missing in the capital, it is for his own face, and the Qing court will help find him. Why didn't the master agree with the trend?"

Wen Chun looked gloomy: "It is naturally more convenient for the Qing court to come forward. But where did Tajiguli escape from? The post house! If they want to investigate, do they have to start from the post house? We live here, Even though there are many eyeliners, as long as there is no serious reason, they will not break into the house openly. Doesn't my promise give them a legitimate excuse to search the house?

"Can we stand the investigation? Don't forget, we still have secret letters with Boss Tang and the method of making silage and the construction of silo sent by Boss Tang."

His subordinates were taken aback for a moment, and they immediately realized: "It's because the subordinates didn't think carefully."

Just as he was talking, another subordinate came in from the outside, glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Master, Boss Tang has news."

Wen Chun paused: "Bring it to me!"

A subordinate handed over a small note, Wen Chun was overjoyed after reading it, and put the note on the fire and burned it to ashes.

Seeing the excitement in the corners of his eyes and brows, his subordinates asked, "Master, is it done?"

"It's done! Boss Tang got a set of machines."

The subordinate frowned: "One set? Is it a little less?"

Wen Chun sneered coldly: "If he does a lot, I won't believe it."

The subordinates were puzzled.

Wen Chunyan: "Our people have been to the Shandong racecourse, and the guards inside are very strict. Our people spent a month, but they couldn't even get in the door, let alone touch the edge of the machine. With this situation, where did Boss Tang come from?" Can you get so many machines for us? He just dares to give it, do you dare to ask for it?"

The subordinates were astonished: "Then Boss Tang is getting this one now..."

"One or two is still possible. After all, Boss Tang has been in charge of the racecourse and knows the operation of the racecourse clearly. Even if he is no longer in the racecourse, there should still be a few trustworthy people in it. Just be careful, the number is small, just find someone The reason for scrapping can be fooled."

Wen Chun shook his head: "I praised the prince before. It's not easy. I don't know that being smart is smart, but it's a pity that he is young and doesn't handle things well. He lifted Boss Tang high, and even handed over such an important racecourse to Boss Tang. Then he made people retreat with one sentence. It's fine if you retreat, and it doesn't matter if you arrange Boss Tang well. But he just threw a small shop to Boss Tang.

"Boss Tang has great ambitions, how could he be willing to be a shopkeeper? What's more, he has tasted the feeling of being entrusted with important tasks and power in his hands. When you stand on a high hill and enjoy the beautiful scenery, how can you Get used to being ordinary again? This little prince! I don’t understand people’s hearts!”

Wen Chun picked up the saber: "Let's go! Go see Boss Tang!"

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the destination, they found that the envoy of Heshuo was already there.

Wen Chun: ...What's the situation?

Tang Nineteen didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "My lords, I'm really sorry. I don't want to do this either. It's a pity that I have spent a lot of effort, but I can only get such a set of machines.

"They and Shuo Te contacted me before, and you Junggar also contacted me. I don't want to offend any of them. But one set is not enough for you, so I can only invite both of you to come over. You can decide who this machine belongs to. .”

He Shuo's special envoy and Wen Chun looked at each other with lightning in their eyes.

The current leader of the Junggar, Galdan, lived in Tibet when he was young. He is known as the Living Buddha of Wensa, and his relationship with Heshuote has always been unusual.Whether it is expanding the territory or looting Khalkha, Heshuote has helped.This time in Beijing, the two parties get along well, and there are many cooperations.

But fundamentally speaking, the two are still different khanates.Interests overlap and conflict.For example, now, both Heshuo Special Envoy and Wen Chun have obtained other materials, and they are only missing a set of machines.Who does this machine belong to?

No matter how good allies are, it's not as good as having them yourself.What's more, Junggar and Peshote are still plastic allies.

Heshuo's special envoy and Wen Chun instantly formed a different aura from others, with swords, swords and swords inside, and gunpowder filled the air.

The two of them were like eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers, they tried their best to get Tang Jiujiu to give him the machine, they were all determined to get it, and they refused to give in to each other, their faces were flushed red in the quarrel.

Seeing that the scene was at an impasse, Tang Nineteen coughed lightly: "I have an idea. In life, what I want is nothing more than power or wealth. The two of you can't give me the power I want. But the money I want, you two can't give me." There is no shortage of seats. It’s better for the two of you to set the price separately, or you can increase the price on the basis of the other party. In the end, whoever bids the highest price will be sold to him.”

Heshuo special envoy: ...

Wen Chun: ...

Heshuo Special Envoy & Wen Chun: Are you saying that you don't want to offend us?

But what can be done?Most of the Mongolian tribes have already left Beijing, they can't delay for a few days, time is running out.If you want to be strong, this is still in other people's territory.

The two of them thought for a while, then gritted their teeth and responded.Isn't it the one who pays the highest price!I can still be short of this little money!

After the hemorrhage, Wen Chun finally got his wish. Looking at Tang Nineteen's leaving carriage, he couldn't help but feel very happy.This trip cost twice as much as budgeted.Tang Nineteen, well done!

Wen Chun gritted his teeth.

Seeing this, the subordinate said: "It's better to let the subordinate follow him, and then..."

He reached out and stroked his neck.

Wen Chun's expression turned cold, and he glared at him.

The subordinates said: "How can such calculations be made against the master?"

Wen Chun shook his head: "No! No matter what, he is the prince's man. He can't be killed lightly, so as not to overwhelm others. It's good that he loves money. The money should form a good relationship. A person like him who knows how to make money, Maybe one day we will climb back to the prince's side again, and it is not impossible to become a confidant. At that time, we will have a lot to do."

The subordinate hesitated: "As he himself said, in life, what he seeks is power and wealth. If he becomes the prince's confidant, he will have power. Power can lead to wealth, so why would he be bought by us, risking money for this little money?" Risk of beheading?"

Wen Chun laughed: "Don't forget what he has done now. Give us the method of making silage, give us the machine, and you are already acting as a prince. If you calculate it in the big way, this crime is no different from treason. He has been with us. We will keep all the letters. In the future, these will be the real evidence. He will not be obedient if he wants to!"

The subordinates suddenly realized, "Master is wise!"

Wen Chun looked at the machine hidden in the forest, and tightened his heartstrings: "Find a way to secretly put things in our luggage rack, be careful, don't show any traces. I will go to the palace to bid farewell to His Majesty the Emperor, tomorrow just go!"

The subordinates were surprised: "So urgent?"

Wen Chun's expression was serious: "It's inevitable that there will be many nights and dreams. Since the things are already in hand, the sooner the better!"

The subordinate asked again: "What about Tajiguli? Don't look for it anymore?"

"I don't care about her! No matter how beautiful she is, she is still a woman, and we in Junggar still need beauties!"

The subordinate replied: "Yes!"

Wen Chun had a ghost in his heart. He was afraid that the imperial court would find out that the machine would be confiscated, and his hard work would be wasted. Therefore, he walked in a hurry, and he kept on day and night along the way. When he returned to Junggar, he learned that Kangxi had sold the machine. He gave many ministries and alliances, and even personally sent professionals to guide them.

Wen Chun: ... What happened during the time he was busy dealing with Tang Nineteen!

What happened to Kangxi!With such a thing, he had planned to use it to restrain the various departments. How could he suddenly let go, not only giving the machine, but also teaching the technology?

Looking at the things he brought back again, Wen Chun's mood was quite complicated, his heart was poured into coldness after his enthusiasm.

The subordinates were not angry at all, but now they are even more annoyed towards Tang Nineteen.

"Boss Tang must have gotten the news a long time ago, knowing that His Majesty the Emperor over there let go of his hand. No wonder he said it was difficult before, and sent us a message saying that he got it within a few days! Sure enough, treacherous! He also took a few of us. Ten thousand taels of silver! If we had known earlier, we would have kept our heads and we might have gotten it if we didn’t look for Boss Tang.”

Wen Chun didn't think so: "The emperor won't give it to us."

Even if Kangxi let go, the alliance he gave was also very particular.The Qing court took many precautions against Junggar, how could it give such things to Junggar.So no matter what, they can only get goods from other channels.After all, I have to find Boss Tang.The money is still available.

The subordinates were puzzled: "In this case, why is the master worried?"

Why worry?Wen Chun couldn't say it himself, he just suddenly had an ominous premonition that the Qing court must rely on something if it dared to give technology to machines.Wen Chun looked at the machine in front of him and fell into hesitation.

The subordinate asked: "Master?"

Wen Chun took a deep breath: "Go! Go see Taiji!"

He went to the capital with a mission, and he had to take the things back to Galdan to give an explanation.Furthermore, with technology and machines, no matter what, they have to try!

So with Galdan's acquiescence and Wen Chunyi's insistence, Junggar began to build silos, collected grass straws and other materials, and began to make fodder in a hurry.

A few days ago, everything went well, just when Wen Chun's uneasiness dissipated little by little, when he thought it was because he was thinking too much, his subordinates came to report: "Master, the machine can't be used!"

"What do you mean it can't be used? Why can't it be used!"

Wen Chun hurried over, "What's going on!"

A group of people tremblingly said: "We don't know. Actually...in fact, these days, it has not been running smoothly. It was running several times, and suddenly it stopped again. After a while, it recovered. Today...after stopping today There has been no movement."

Wen Chun got angry: "Since there was a problem before, why didn't you report it!"

Everyone cowered and dared not speak.Everyone in Junggar attaches great importance to silage, and I heard that this machine cost a lot of money.Who dares to report!What's more, they have never been in contact with this kind of machine, so they thought it was like this.Just like people, it is normal to rest when tired.I don't know...

The air was suddenly quiet.Wen Chun's face was as black as coal, and he remained silent.Everyone was motionless, not daring to breathe.

I don't know how long it took, and someone suddenly shouted in surprise: "It's done! It's done! The machine is working again!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and wiped off their sweat.so far so good.It seems that he is really like a human being and needs to rest.After enough rest, it starts to work.

However, subsequent developments were not as optimistic as they thought.The number of machine problems is getting more and more frequent, and the time of stagnation is getting longer and longer.If this is rest, it is too much rest.In the end, there was not much time to work in a day.

Wen Chun could only gather skilled craftsmen intensively and vigorously, but batch after batch of people were selected, and batch after batch began to study the machine, and they all shook their heads in the end.

Wen Chun: ...

Things have come to this, what can be done!

Fortunately, a large amount of feed was produced during this time.The rest is done manually.Even so, it consumes a lot of manpower and the speed drops sharply.Junggar has a large demand for winter fodder, which cannot be satisfied by manual speed and production volume.But it can satisfy part of it.

In this way, the Junggar people got busy again.Batches of forage are crushed and packed into silos.Looking at the full silo.Wen Chun finally breathed a sigh of relief.Now we just wait for the green grass period of the grassland to pass, and then take out this batch of forage and use it.

So everyone waited and waited, and when autumn came, everyone happily opened the silage cellar, and an unpleasant smell of rot came into their nostrils.

"Master, there is something wrong with the silage cellar! All the silage we made in spring is useless! Taiji received news from spies from the Monan Grassland. It is said that the silage still needs to be fermented, and there is no need to keep it warm."

Wen Chun:? ? ?

I'm sooooooooooooooo!

&%￥#@@...

Angry into a pile of gibberish!

The above are all things to say, at this moment, Prince Yu's Mansion.

Although Fuquan took in Tajigul according to Yinfeng's order, he disapproved of his approach: "Prince, after all, this girl was brought by Wenchun, and I'm afraid she has something wrong with her. Even if she tells herself that she has no choice but How true and how false? You escaped by yourself, so how do you know if you conspired with Wen Chun to act?"

Yinfeng thought for a while, "It shouldn't be an act. If it was an act, it was just to get Gu to take the bait, then outside the carriage that day, Wen Chun would follow Gu's words and report the matter to Lifan Academy or Shuntian Mansion, and invite them Looking for someone. Wouldn't the drama be more real if the fight was made bigger?

"He kept silent, he only talked about wandering around, and he didn't mention the disappearance of the person he brought, obviously he didn't want to make it public. This behavior will make Gu suspicious. If it's acting, it's unwise."

Fuquan frowned: "How does the prince know that Wen Chun didn't expect you to think so?"

Yinrong was taken aback, I predicted your prediction of me?

"It's not completely impossible. But Gu feels that Wen Chun probably doesn't know Gu well yet. And..." Yinfeng chuckled, "What does it matter if it's just an act? Gu never said that he would take Tajiguli with him. Go back and put it by your side!"

Fuquan:? ? ?

Then why are you saving other girls!

Yinfeng shrugged: "Uncle Huang, Gu just did it casually. Now that Wen Chun has left, no one will catch her back to Junggar, just let her go. Let her go wherever she wants. Don't care about her!"

Fuquan: ...

You are so handy.Picking up a person is the same as picking up a Chinese cabbage.

But since Yinreng didn't plan to keep it by his side, it doesn't matter whether Tajiguli has a different heart or not, he can't hurt Yinreng.Let it go and let it go.After leaving the gate of Prince Yu's mansion, she is just like an ordinary person in the Qing Dynasty, so what is there to be afraid of?If you are still not at ease, just send someone to watch more.

Therefore, Fuquan didn't argue with Yinfeng any more, and agreed.

Out of Prince Yu's mansion.Yinfeng came to Huaxin Daily Chemical.The location of this store was chosen by Yinreng himself, and rectification was done.The front is the shop, and the back is the house.Although there are only three or two rooms, it is enough to set up a quiet tea room as a private place.

Tang Nineteen had been waiting for a long time, and Yinfeng took his seat. He first talked about how to deal with Wen Chun and how to set up a set up, and then said: "The two sets of machines given by the crown prince. I have taken out one set first as instructed, and let Wen Chun Compete with Pegatron.

"Wen Chun set off as soon as he got the things. After he left, I contacted the Heshuo special envoy again and told him that I got an extra one. The crown prince's move can be said to be a clean sweep, and Wen Chun was ruthlessly killed."

In fact, it is not necessary to kill Wenchun, if the price is higher at that time, Heshuote will sell it to Heshuote.Then I contacted Wen Chun to sell another set, but it was the same.

Tang Nineteen smiled lightly: "Because Wen Chun refused to give up half a step, Heshuo's special envoy had long been resentful. Later, he got another set by accident, and he was even more happy. He was even complacent because the price was lower than Wen Chun's. He is gloating. Now Heshuote is still keeping the news to himself. If Wen Chun finds out, Junggar and Heshuote may have a rift."

Yinreng naturally understood what he meant, that he wanted to sow discord and make a fuss here.It's a pity that their current network of contacts has not yet developed to Junggar.Kangxi did have spies, but Yinfeng didn't want to rely on Kangxi for everything.In particular, Kangxi's spies are very useful. It is not necessary to use Kangxi's spies for such trivial matters, and there is also the risk of exposing the spies, which is not worth it.

But Tang Nineteen's thoughts made him more sure of one thing.That is to rely on the existing "propaganda department" and build a "spy network" on its basis.

Tang Nineteen handed over a stack of bank notes to Yinfeng, totaling 80 taels.

Yinfeng was shocked!

Don't look at the millions of taels in film and television dramas, and even use gold instead of silver.But in reality, gold and silver are not so flooded.If a young master could easily take out millions of taels of silver, no matter how many silver mines the Qing Dynasty had, it would not be able to withstand such mining!

Not to mention that in history, Kangxi went to Jiangnan six times and lived in Cao's house five times.The Cao family spent huge sums of money to pick up the driver, and they paid attention to everything, and the total expenditure was only more than 100 million taels.

Therefore, the amount of 80 taels is really not small.

"The 30 taels were given by Heshuote. The 50 taels were given by Junggar. In addition, there are two boxes of jewels, which were given by the Heshuote envoy when he contacted Wen Chun earlier."

Yinfeng looked at the two boxes that Tang Nineteen pushed over.The things inside are no worse than those given to Yinzhen.

He pushed the box back again, "Since they gave it to you, you can keep it. As for the banknote..."

Yinfeng accepted 50 taels with a smile, and took the remaining 30 taels. When Tang Shijiu opened his mouth, he spoke first: "Don't rush to refuse. These two boxes of jewels are the hard work of your busy work these days. But The 30 taels of silver are expenses."

Tang Nineteen was taken aback, funding?

Yinfeng pointed to the shop in front of him and said: "Before Gu asked you to cultivate a person, and then you will take over this shop. When Gu came over today, he saw He Mao busy at the counter, doing things inside and out. You chose he?"

"Yes! He Mao was born in a merchant's family. He was good at this kind of knowledge from a young age. But their family has many brothers. He is also a concubine. After his father died, the eldest brother inherited [-]% of the family business, and the other brothers shared [-]% .The rest of the bastards share [-]%. There are very few family properties that fall into his hands.

"It's not easy to live in Kyoto. He had to find a way out by himself, and happened to meet Xinhua Daily Chemical Recruitment. I observed this person for several months, and saw that this person was clever and thoughtful, but he couldn't do the same thing. It is a material that can be made. I wonder what the prince thinks?"

Yinfeng has nothing to do.Xinhua Daily Chemical is just a daily necessities store.Tang Shijiu is another, the store manager from now on, he will only let him be in charge of the store, and will not use it for other purposes, so as long as he can get by, he doesn't have to ask too much.

"Since you chose him, let him be. I will trust you alone."

I believe you alone.The simple three words made Tang Nineteen feel excited and excited as if a thousand-mile horse met Bole.He was smart since he was a child, and he was known as a "little prodigy" in his hometown. He was a scholar at the age of ten, and his neighbors praised him.Some people even said that he might be able to reach the third place and become famous all over the world.

But after failing the provincial examination twice, the direction of the wind changed.Gradually, others began to call him "Tang Zhongyong" and said, "It's not necessarily good to be old when you're young."

He felt that he was talented, but others said: "How much talent does a scholar have? If he is really talented, let alone a Jinshi, he should first take an examination of Juren to see."Over time, he began to doubt himself.Doubting whether I am too arrogant and looking high on myself; doubting that I have a childhood reputation, but it is nothing more than that.

Slowly, he became afraid to study, take exams, or even do anything.He felt that he didn't have the ability to do it well.He went from full of confidence to timid, looking forward and backward.

In this regard, the father said nothing, but resolutely sold the family property, took him on a study tour, accompanied him to travel all over the mountains and rivers, and saw all kinds of things in the world, so that he could find his original self little by little.

He is very grateful to his father, who pulled him back from the lost path of life.His father told him that life is not just about imperial examinations.It doesn't matter if you fail the exam.His world is very broad and should not be limited to the imperial examination.

But his father didn't tell him how he should go on the road.His father did not tell him how he was worse than others when he failed twice.

Later, he and his father settled down in the capital, and by chance, they were able to work for the prince.The prince solved his doubts.

The prince himself said that he has great talent, but his talent is not in the imperial examination.The prince said that he was never inferior to anyone, but they were good at different directions.The prince said that others only saw that he failed to win the exam, but did not see how much he had gained and how much he had done during the study tour.

He can see the clues from other people's words, can pick out the key points from the messy conversations, and can find the key points from the messy messages.

The news he got through everyone was fed back to everyone themselves.He helped a small shop that was about to close to life; cleared up a school student who was framed; he also rescued several children from kidnappers.

These are all his abilities, abilities that those Juren or even Jinshi may not have.

The prince said that every inch of land he has traveled in these years, every industry he has seen, and every good deed he has performed is a path he can walk.As long as he wants.He has many options.

Then the prince asked him: How do you want to choose?

At that time, he suddenly remembered the praise from outsiders when he was a child. They said that he would win the three yuan and rank first, and his reputation would shake the world.Now Sanyuan Jidi is no good, but he still wants to be famous all over the world.

The prince said: Good!

There is no criticism, no criticism, no criticism, and I don't think he is wishful thinking.The prince only said this one word.But it was also this word that made his blood boil and his heart surge.

His father helped him find himself again.The prince helped him regain his ideal.What a blessing!

Yinfeng handed a letter to Tang Shijiu: "Here is the task that Gu will entrust to you next. This task is very difficult and requires you to leave the capital."

Tang Nineteen smiled lightly: "I went to many places on my study tour in the past few years, so it doesn't matter."

Yinfeng shook his head: "But the place Gu wants you to go to now is different. It is a place you have never been to, and you will never even think of going in this life. And you need to live there for several years, you have to find a way to get it. The trust of the local people, integrate into the local area, and make yourself a part of them.

"You need to make friends and find more people to join in. They don't have to do anything on weekdays, just keep quiet and live a normal life. But once there is a need, they must be activated at any time. Therefore, these people don't have to be very capable, But it must be highly cooperative.

"Don't underestimate any industry or any position. Every person you develop, a salesman, or an old man with burdens, a seemingly insignificant existence, may be able to play a huge role at that time .”

Yinfeng spoke solemnly, and Tang Nineteen's expression became serious.

Yinfeng said again: "You have been away for at least a few years, go back and arrange your home first. I remember you said that you have settled in the capital with your family two years ago. It is also good in the capital. If you are close, you will be alone. Good care."

Yinfeng thought for a while, then took off the ring around his waist and handed it to Tang Shijiu: "You leave this to your family. Although the orphan will send someone to take care of it, the tiger will also take a nap, so there may be omissions. If something happens to them , they can’t solve it by themselves, they are alone in the palace, and it’s hard to contact them. They can take this jade pendant to find Shuntian Mansion, find the patrol camp, or even go to the Hesheli clan to find Suo’etu.”

Seeing this jade pendant, others will know that it belongs to the prince.No matter what happens, it can be easily solved.Unless the other party doesn't want to live anymore and wants to make life difficult for the prince.

Tang Nineteen took the jade pendant, feeling that the thing in his hand weighed more than a thousand catties.

He understood what the prince meant, and the prince wanted him to have no worries.It can also be seen from this that what the prince asked him to do was not simple, and it was probably different from what he had done for the prince in the past.

Tang Nineteen took a deep breath: "Yes!"

Yinfeng took out another box the size of half a palm: "Your birthday will be in two months, and you should have arrived at the place by then, or on the way there. This is a gift specially prepared by Gu for you. Congratulations to you in advance."

Inside the box is a seal.The lower head is Hetian jade, and there is a gilt round cap on the jade, with a ruby ​​inlaid on the top of the cap.The body of Hetian jade is engraved with the pattern of cranes and auspicious clouds.Turn the seal upside down, and you will see the two-character seal script on the bottom: Mengzhang.

Tang Nineteen, nineteen is the ranking, parents and elders in the clan have called it that since childhood, and the prince followed this point, and also called it that.But his real name is Tang Hua, and his surname is Meng Zhang.

Holding the seal in his hands, Tang Nineteen felt his hands burning.Not because of the preciousness of Hetian jade, but because of its meaning.This printed head cap looks like a top hat.The official tops of the Qing Dynasty are decorated with rubies, corals, sapphires, lapis lazuli, etc. according to their grades, among which rubies are matched with first grades.

There is also a jade body carving pattern.In addition to the different grades of top wear for officials, there are also different supplements for court clothes.The fourth-rank snow geese, the third-rank peacock, and the second-rank golden pheasant.The crane is a first-class product.

It can be said that what the crown prince gave was not a seal, but a promise of his future.

"The thing was made by Gu's subordinate master, and the engraving on the bottom was carved by Gu's own hand. Gu just started to learn how to engrave, and it's a little rusty, but fortunately, it's still usable, and I can barely take it out."

It was actually carved by the prince himself?Tang Nineteen was quite surprised, and bowed his thanks: "Thank you, Prince!"

"It's getting late, I need to go back to the palace. I will entrust you with the full power of the letter."

Tang Nineteen nodded solemnly: "I will definitely live up to your Highness's trust!"

After the crown prince left, Tang Nineteen opened the envelope and checked each line. When he saw the address written by the crown prince, he was stunned on the spot.

Seeing the tasks assigned by the prince again, Tang Jiujiu's heart was shocked and his blood boiled with enthusiasm.This is his test and his opportunity!
