After I was reborn, I became a plug-in for the country

The buzz that Shuntian Fu Yin caught foreign missionaries and secretly opened English classes gradually spread, and the newspapers published in the capital are also centered on this matter.

The ministers don't pay attention to how much the people have learned, but the students of the Guozijian are very concerned.Some of them are still very interested in foreign language, an unfamiliar language.Some students even secretly sighed, "Although I am preaching, it is not bad that I can understand a little bird language of foreigners."

Now the missionaries in the palace are also highly valued by Kangxi, so many students of the Imperial College want to find another way, trying to take a shortcut to official career by learning a little foreign language.

Qin Tianjian is somewhat shabby compared to other ministries, but it is also a door, isn't it?

It's a pity that such a wish cannot be heard by Datian now.But the students don't have to wait for a long time, because we haven't locked up the prince who has been in confinement for a long time, and was released.

When Yinfeng's confinement was lifted, it was the time when Kangxi was most troubled by the officials' quarrel.When he talked about this with his son, he complained in a tone that was completely undisguised, "They think that I have plans to send envoys to Thailand and Western countries because they value foreigners. So now one or two follow suit, asking me to punish them severely That missionary."

He said with disdain: "Scholar with sour Confucianism, I don't know what to say!"

Yinfeng "thought about his mistakes behind closed doors" for a few days, and his reaction to the courtiers' passionate opposition to "foreigners" was much calmer than his Khan Ama. "My son can understand why the courtiers are so excited."

"Oh?" Kangxi raised his eyebrows, "Do you know why they are like this?"

Yinfeng jokingly said, "Foreigners set up private classrooms, because they feel that the language barrier is inconvenient for them to recruit believers. But the courtiers feel that if this missionary is really allowed to take root in Beijing, it may shake the Confucianism they have believed in for many years. This is because I can’t speak out my thoughts openly, so I can only find the reason of “obscenity” to demand that foreigners be severely punished.”

With Kangxi's only IQ, he can figure out the reason without his son's analysis, so he also smiled and agreed, "You expected it." It is precisely because he has seen through the thoughts of the civil servants that he does not want to deal with the missionary immediately.

Civil servants are the most difficult group of people to control. They use Confucianism to control the king at every turn. It is good to have foreign monks to stimulate them occasionally.

Yinfeng took a mouthful of the fruit, and after eating two or three bites, he continued: "After this incident, my son's attitude towards the foreign missionary has changed somewhat. He is very different from the British man who came last time, and he is much different than the British man who came here last time." That idiot is smart enough."

"How to say?" Kangxi became interested.

He seldom listened to his son's words of admiration for anyone easily, even courtiers who had been officials for many years, no one would easily have this honor.Now I suddenly hear my son have such an evaluation of a missionary, and I really feel very fresh in my heart.

"My son thinks that this foreigner has more plans than ordinary people." Yinfeng's tone hinted slightly, "Buddhism wants to enter the Central Plains, but it only thinks of breaking in with the scriptures and teachings. This missionary wants to establish a sect in Beijing, and the first thing he thinks of is The most important thing is to communicate fluently with their target believers first."

Although this remark was a bit of a trick to fool him, Khan Ama, but from the bottom of his heart, he really appreciates this kind of approach of foreigners.Therefore, the admiration in his tone was not concealed, "My son thinks that he is really a very smart person."

Kangxi went over his words in his heart, and then affirmed: "Hearing what you said, I also think that he is really more transparent than ordinary people." After he finished speaking, he changed his mind, foreigners want to step into our official language, and even know that they will have to stay overnight. , I want to send people to them now, how can I let the people below go with their eyes in the dark?

"Perhaps I should also find someone to teach Abukai how to speak foreign language fluently." Kangxi sighed, "He passed in such a muddle way that foreigners will despise us."

"My son thinks the same way. He can understand what foreigners say, so he won't be fooled by them." Yinfeng's smile was a little more sly, "And my son still thinks that he can come to us to preach, Why can't we send more people to them and pass on Confucianism to them?"

Kangxi reflected on his son's words, his eyes lit up, he couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, "That's true! I ordered people to go to the Imperial College to pass on this matter. If there are Confucian scholars who want to go with them, they can sign up at Jijiu. If you can pass my assessment, you can go with me when you go out as an envoy!"

"Khan Ama is bullying people," Yinreng joked, "Guozijian students only work with Confucianism all day long, how can they understand the language of Thai and Western people?"

Kangxi was in a good mood, so he naturally didn't mind having a few more jokes with his son, so he immediately said: "They don't know how to do it now, I'll just find someone to teach them. And I not only allow them to learn, but also carefully set the rules. If If you study hard, you will not only be exempted from training, but I will grant them official positions after they complete their studies. If you don’t study hard, the Imperial College will treat them without having to stay any longer.”

Seeing that Khan Ama had already taken the bait, Yin Reng's eyes rolled slightly, so he said curiously: "Khan Ama indulged them, if the students of the Imperial College don't want to take the imperial examination any more, they all want to use this shortcut as a springboard to enter the official career. good?"

It is inevitable that there will be some scheming, or aggravating that they have been misled by the missionary and almost became his believers.The language foundation is naturally much better than others who have never learned it, so it is unknown to use this exam to take advantage of loopholes.

Kangxi snorted coldly, "If someone really uses this as an excuse, I will definitely punish him severely!" It is understandable to want to take shortcuts, but he has always hated people who are bent on profiting, and naturally he will not allow such people to be slaughtered by officials .

Yinreng glanced at his Khan Ama's face, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "My son thinks that if you choose directly from the Imperial College, the students with family background may not be willing to give up the benefits now. If not His Majesty Khan Ama aims to open a special foreign language school in Beijing, and it has been well received by students all over the world, and he has selected those who are available and sent them to the Western lands."

"Open another school?" Kangxi glanced at him, "The horror is not a temporary idea, you have thought about it a long time ago, right?"

Seeing being dismantled by his Khan Ama, Yinreng stopped at every step, and said with a simple smile, "My son knows that I can't hide it from you." After waiting for a while, he didn't see Khan Ama getting angry, so he said again: "Khan Ama is the son of heaven. , the mind can accept the world, and the Qing Dynasty will always be like you, with an open mind to accept the world."

To open up the atmosphere and improve the wisdom of the people, what better way than running a school?

After hearing what his son said, Kangxi's face tightened, his joking mood disappeared, and he fell silent for a moment.He didn't want to take such a big step at a time. It is okay to open up the people's wisdom, but this can only be done step by step after the Qing Dynasty becomes stronger.

Yinreng also knew why Khan Ama was like this, and said calmly, "It's not about choosing among the common people, but among the students who have studied hard for many years. Don't worry too much about Khan Ama."

How can the poor people afford to read books? Anyone whose family can support a child must be a family with some wealth.

"I know." Kangxi pondered for a while, then changed the subject again, "I'll think about running the school again, but you can think about the leader of the merchants you go with."

"My son has drawn up a booklet, please read it over at Khan Ama." Yinreng handed over the plan written earlier in the morning, and continued to eat the fruit as if nothing had happened.

After Kangxi took it, he took a closer look, looked at it for a while, and then nodded, "Yang Yanqiu is a trustworthy person. He has a great reputation in the south of the Yangtze River and is well recognized." Then he frowned again and said, "Do you want to call the third and the fifth to be masters in the school?"

He also promised to run a foreign language school, and the prince had already assigned the specific tasks.Also said that this is not a long-planned plan?

Yinfeng was not completely worried that Khan Ama accused him of having ulterior motives, so he put down the teacup and explained, "Khan Ama didn't know, my son asked the third to stop him a few days ago, and he complained that his son only thought of the fourth and not him. .Now that you are about to employ people here, my son thinks about him and asks him to try it.”

It's just that asking a prince to be a teacher for a group of students without official positions is a bit overkill.Yinfeng never thought that this plan would be passed at one time, and today's talk is just a trial.

Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, and now speaking of foreign language, the prince must be proficient.But he himself is proficient and can't be a master in person. When it comes to candidates for the master of the school, it can only be the brothers who have studied with him.

He really didn't realize at the moment that his thoughts had long since caused his son to go astray in a memorial tape.

After thinking about it for a while, Kangxi also felt that it would be a good thing for the princes to practice more.So he said to Yinfeng: "Ask him to try a few younger ones too. If anyone does well, I will reward them again."

Hearing that Khan Ama is almost ready to run a school, Yinfeng was very happy in his heart, just thinking of his ghostly ninth brother, the corner of his mouth did not twitch, "If the ninth brother also goes, but There is some tossing."

But even if he dislikes Brother Jiu so much, he has to admit that Brother Jiu is really the best among their brothers in terms of language talent.

The matter was almost the same, Yinfeng got up and left.

After he left, Kangxi read what he had written several times, thought through the preparations in his heart, and then put down the notebook and picked up a pen to write the will. He planned to send someone to pass Yang Yanqiu into the capital immediately and assign him Tell him about taking the merchant out to sea.

The Tian family father and son determined the nature of the "prostitution" that the courtiers were concerned about. Kangxi did not discuss with the courtiers any more, and directly ordered the foreign missionary to be imprisoned for half a month.Although the courtiers were still a little dissatisfied, since the punishment had been handed down, they didn't dare to say anything, so they all kept their mouths shut.

Not long after the foreign missionaries left the prison, the first foreign language school in the Qing Dynasty was born in the capital.

Beijing is very lively, no, it should be said that the whole Qing Dynasty is very lively.

The reason was that there were constant disputes over how the number of envoys should be allocated among court officials, so that Kangxi was forced to appoint a new official position. This official position was not under the management of any department, but directly obeyed the emperor's orders.

Moreover, this official position is not limited to family background, as long as you pass the foreign language test and have courage, you can hold it.

If you feel that you can't pass the provincial examination, or if you just want to make a career in the sky, you can work hard for this position.

In order to prevent poor students from missing the news, Kangxi also issued an order to all prefectures and counties to print more newspapers and make sure to inform all students of this matter.

For such a good job, students all over the world who are interested in official careers are naturally rushing to Beijing with all their might.For a while, even places like carriage inns and post houses saw their revenues rise accordingly.

In addition to the excitement of the students, the news that the imperial court would send merchants to go to Europe with them gradually spread among the merchants because of Yang Yanqiu's entry into Beijing.Merchants with some wealth in the north and the south are scrambling to sign up, hoping to go to Europe with the imperial fleet to make money.

Yinfeng didn't pay attention to the bustle outside. Before the foreign language school officially started, he had to sort out the teaching plans of several courses.A few older brothers who wanted to go out to be masters seemed to think that he was not busy enough, so they ran to him every day, except for reviewing and asking for advice, disturbing him so that he could not be quiet.

It wasn't until Yinfeng handed over the improved lesson plan to them that these elder brothers who had received errands stopped.

The happiest thing is the third brother. In his own words, "Second brother can be regarded as a younger brother who is anxious."

Yinfeng had no time to pay attention to his other complaints. Ever since Kangxi ordered the craftsmen to build the merchant ships for the mission, he also vaguely mentioned that it seemed that Dai Zi should be passed on to Beijing, and the ship's requirements The artillery orders used will be sent out to the steel mills in Henan.

Kangxi didn't want to recruit Dai Zi into Beijing at first, but when he remembered the dream he had, he understood why his son had such remonstrance.

So not long after, Dai Zi entered Beijing under the imperial edict.He also brought his newly developed artillery by the way.These cannons were all made according to the drawings given by Yinfeng, and he made them after a little bit of thinking.It was made according to the blueprint given by Yinfeng, and its power can be imagined.

Let's put it this way, even the artillery that Shi Lang carried on his fleet when he was fighting against Japan was a bit weaker than the one newly developed by Dai Zi.

Dai Zifeng aimed to meet Kangxi in the imperial study, and first reported the total output of the Henan steel factory in the past two years.Although it is a branch factory, the amount of steel produced is dozens of times that of Jingzhong.Because it covers a larger area, it can accommodate more blast furnaces.

And after arriving in Henan, Dai Zi personally brought out many apprentices.The blue comes from the blue and is better than the blue. Now the craftsmen who make steel and cannons and firecrackers there are more talented than those in Beijing.

"Last year, there were about 16 kilograms (tons)," Dai Zi said proudly, "But I have a heart, and this year it can increase by a few percent."

Kangxi and Yinreng looked at each other, and asked: "Within two years, two thousand new-style cannons will be produced, where can Henan supply them?" He only placed an order for cannons, because he thought that there were still Jingshan cannons. There are still stocks, and within two years, tens of thousands more can always be made.

Dai Zi pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, before she firmly said: "After returning, I will try my best to urge the craftsmen to complete the imperial court's needs as soon as possible!"

Yinfeng silently calculated in his heart.For the ships going to Europe, he Khan Ama will definitely ask people to repair them very large, and then convert this quantity, the quantity to be loaded on each ship...

"..." Yinfeng felt that he, Khan Ama, was probably really influenced by the dream woven by that system.

The density of this weapon was far beyond his expectation.Not to mention taking precautions before they happen, even conquering Europe, you can try.
