After the fourth master and I wear each other [Qing wear]

Sometimes I have to admit that even if you are the emperor, there will always be a book in the world that you can't understand.

This is the true portrayal of Kangxi's recent heart.

His daily schedule is very full, except for routine affairs such as going to court, reviewing papers, inspecting the prince's study progress, etc., the leisure time for half a month has been spent on the English translation of Newton's "Principles".

I have read the book from the beginning to the end, but I feel quite cloudy and foggy.

This book is beyond the scope of mathematics and science learned in the past, and I vaguely realize that it has created a new theory.

Newton, this Englishman is interesting.

The more Kangxi couldn't fully understand it, the more he wanted to understand it.

He has dealt with Obai, San Francisco, and Galdan, so can't he deal with Newton?

In particular, there is another premise that this book was presented by the fourth child, and it is reasonable to speculate that the fourth child has truly understood it.

The fourth brother broke through technical limitations and produced a large piece of glass, but he knew more about Western art than the missionaries from Europa.Even if glass making is not directly related to Newton's "Principles", maybe there is a way of thinking by analogy?

Kangxi made this speculation secretly, but he didn't call the fourth child directly to ask him face to face.

Although learning should not be ashamed to ask, but let his son teach his father, he still wants to struggle again.

Is it possible to figure out what it is about by reciting the book "Principles" 120 times?

Before you know it, it's mid-November.

A "major event" was discovered in the harem. The emperor did not turn over the green card or go to sleep in a certain palace for more than a month.

What on earth happened?

This situation is not unprecedented.

All the old people in the palace knew that when the San Francisco rebellion was put down more than 20 years ago, the emperor had no time to manage the harem.Fortunately, the empress dowager was still alive at that time, and she was able to calm down the turbulent undercurrent.

However, it is not what it used to be.

I haven't heard of any wars going on recently, and the former court seems to be quite calm and not full of fights. Why doesn't the emperor come to the harem?That was out of his usual style.

What stopped the emperor's footsteps?

It's Jinwu Zangjiao, has anyone been fancy in the Qianqing Palace?It can't be that the emperor is 47 years old, can he?

These outrageous thoughts can only be speculated in the heart.

The empress dowager basically didn't care about things, the four concubines seemed to turn a blind eye to anyone and didn't speak first, it seemed that whether the emperor came or not, he could treat him with a normal heart.

When suspicions arose, the Nuan Pavilion of Ningshou Palace took the lead in carrying out minor renovations, replacing it with a full set of glass windows.

Next, the glass windows of the South Study Room, where Kangxi resided, were also replaced.

In winter, there was not enough light, so transparent glass windows were installed, which added a third of warmth to the study.

Everyone knows that glass windows are expensive and fragile.

This thing is a Western product, and it needs to be transported thousands of miles from Guangzhou, so there are only a few households in the capital to install it.

The palace did not pretend to be.

Kangxi claimed that he was not an extravagant and licentious emperor, and gave the glass windows as rewards to important officials.

Now, what happened to the new glass windows for the empress dowager and the emperor?

New gossip has replaced the old gossip. Could it be that the emperor has been worrying about the glass windows recently?

The news in the autumn became true. The king of Yongjun entered the Yuzhi Glass Factory, not for the sake of fame and reputation to make a few glass ornaments, but to study the large glass technology that is not available in the local area?

The Yonghe Palace became lively.

Concubine De was visited by wave after wave of people, and what she said meant the same thing. Was the glass window made by Prince Yong?When will Miyauchi be able to replace them all?

Everyone cares, because glass windows are more of a necessity than expensive glass bottles.

Except for Sifei, who has a particularly abundant supply of warm charcoal, everyone else has more or less experienced that papered windows can ventilate in winter.

The north wind in the capital lasted for several months. Even though the windows were closed tightly, the cold wind was pervasive.

Waking up overnight with a frozen nose.Although no one has ever lived in a house with glass windows, everyone has a simple understanding that glass is better than paper windows to keep out the cold.

Faced with everyone's temptations and trials, Concubine De was also confused.

It was impossible for the fourth child to report to her what she was doing, not to mention the fact that Kangxi didn't like concubines getting involved in the previous court.

Even if it is known that the fourth child will enter the glass factory in late July, it is impossible to know the progress of his research.

Across a palace wall, the Ulanara family came to pay their respects every month as usual, but never mentioned the work assigned to the fourth child.

Thunder and rain are all grace.

According to Ulanara, everything is fine in Si Ye's mansion, but what Si Ye does outside is the emperor's will, just do it with all your strength, don't ask whether it is good or bad.

Concubine De had no way of knowing the specific situation outside, and considering that the emperor had not entered the harem for more than a month, the matter of the glass window might really be of great importance.

She has always been wise to protect herself, she simply called her sick and turned away all visitors, even Concubine Yi's visit was ignored.

In private, I specifically told Yinzhen not to meddle in the mess, and to continue to tutor the fourth child's three children honestly.

Four months later, that is, in February of the next year, Yinzhen will officially marry the Yan family.There are not many days left for Fourteen to adapt to life with a baby in advance.

Little did they know that after hearing these entrustments, Yinzhen only picked up one important point. After getting married, she really didn't want to have children right away.

Next year, he will be 14 years old, and he is not yet ready to meet his own demon kings.

The three children of the fourth brother's family can only toss him in writing, while the biological children can attack him at close range.

As for the glass window, I didn't even think about it.

Yinzhen has not forgotten the painful experience of revising the cowpox story.

Gradually, he realized that what the fourth brother asked him to do must be beneficial, but he also had to weigh whether he could bear the mental pressure.

As for what the fourth brother didn't ask him to do, he had to keep his head clear and don't think about it blindly, otherwise he wouldn't know how he fell into the pit.

Yinzhen tried his best to hide, but he didn't dare to stay in elder brother's house, but escaped into the library.

Keeping quiet in the heavy place of the library can be regarded as allowing him to find a safe haven.Just wait until next year, move out of the palace, close the door of your own house and ignore everyone.

The advent of glass windows created a huge wave.

Wu Fuyi seemed to be in the center of the eye of the storm, but he seemed extraordinarily calm.

I haven't returned home recently, so I live in the glass factory.Get the first batch of glass windows out by the end of November before the cold winter comes.

The target installation objects of the first batch of windows were important officials of the imperial court.

This is what Kangxi meant, and he also reported a dark list and drew up the number of large glasses needed.

Of course, it can't be free, and it's not sold at a low price, or it's a little cheaper than the imported large glass in the past.

In name, Kangxi rewarded his courtiers with preferential prices, and then stated that the income from the glass windows was used to vaccinate the people.

In fact, the cost of these large glasses is higher than that of sand, and the huge profits must be tightly controlled.

It is also for the sake of secrecy that the king of Yongjun needs to be in charge of the glass factory to prevent the process of firing large glass from leaking out.

Wu Fuyi herself can't talk about working overtime to catch up with work, but still has the usual work and rest time. She mainly plays the role of supervisor.

In addition to inspections, this period of time is to start writing a set of tutorials for learning physics from scratch.

If there is no mistake in guessing, Kangxi should start reading Newton's "Principles", and the possibility of being able to fully understand it is only [-]%.

Not to mention Kangxi, even those missionaries in the capital dare not say that they can understand Newton's theory, or that there are very few people who can stand shoulder to shoulder with it in this era.

There is no need to be too ambitious and talk about catching up with Newton. Now this book is used to make people pay attention to science.

Wu Fuyi can provide a set of thinking patterns, but there is no need to follow her in everything, and I hope that someone can learn by themselves.

Those who want to understand Newton's theory may wish to learn Galileo first.

This gave Fourteen something to do. Anyway, he was hiding in the library, so he also collected related works of Galileo by the way.

It doesn't matter if Yinzhen can't read Italian, just try to ask someone who understands it.First dig out all the books in Galileo's collection, and those books will be useful in the future.

At the end of November, before the arrival of the Lunar New Year, the first batch of large glass firings were completed.

Wu Fuyi went on business smoothly, packed his bags and went home very quickly.

Without the slightest hesitation, he asked Su Peisheng to close the gate of the county palace, and no guests would be accepted.

How to sell this batch of glass, whether it's collecting the bills or supervising the money, as the king of Yongjun, he doesn't get involved.

Do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequity.

The errand of selling the goods to whom first and not to whom, or let the capable ones live there.For people like her who have been stationed in the glass factory for four or five months, the most important thing is to go home and rest and not participate.

What's more, Wu Fuyi speculated that Kangxi should not want King Yong to do everything.

If the large piece of glass is not made, the fourth elder brother may be compensated and let him manage the vaccination funds allocated from the national treasury.

Things were beyond everyone's expectations, and the glass window turned out.Kangxi knew about the huge profits, so he might have changed his original idea of ​​letting the fourth child be responsible for the money.

Kangxi inspected the first batch of large glass out of the oven, and praised the seriousness and responsibility of the fourth child on the spot, but did not mention that he was responsible for the follow-up sales work.

It's not that he suspects that the fourth child will make a profit secretly, but a kind of protection.Let him not be involved in disputes among courtiers because the tree attracts the wind.

Just as Suo'etu coerced the prince, Yinreng and his father would go farther and farther away. I really don't want the fourth child to fall into such a passivity.

Besides, the fourth child has more important tasks.

Kangxi spent nearly two months studying Newton's "Nature" hard, but in the end he couldn't keep up his face.

Asked the foreigners who often walked around the imperial city, Bai Jin, who was good at mathematics and science, said that Newton's learning was the first of its kind, which indicated the emergence of a new discipline system.

Bai Jin said frankly that he traveled back and forth between the east and west continents for many years, and he didn't have more time to devote himself to the study of this new theory, so he really didn't dare to say that he had researched it.

The missionaries expressed that they knew little about Newtonian mechanics, which made Kangxi feel better.

It turns out that the Europeans are not all as tough as Newton, and it turns out that he is not the only one who is trapped by the new theory.

In this way, it is also a blessing for the Qing Dynasty that the fourth child can understand Newton.

There is one more month to the new year.

A new task has been assigned to the fourth child. He doesn't have to worry about what gifts to give during the holidays this year, so he specifies an annual gift - how to study Newton's theory from scratch.

Kangxi made it clear that he would see this "custom gift" before Xiaonian.

Alone Better Together.He will order people to transcribe multiple copies and distribute them to other sons and clan members.

Whoever can give him a satisfactory post-reading experience will be able to go to Jiangnan together next year or have a better job.Presumably everyone will have a good time this New Year, immersed in the joy of learning.

In the capital, relevant people are still amazed by the appearance of glass windows, and there are constant voices asking for purchases. They have never thought of what will happen during this year's Spring Festival.

Right now, the focus is on who will be in charge of window sales.

This meeting has also brought back memories. King Yong's glass windows should be inseparable from the funds for promoting vaccinia, so the glass windows will definitely be sold to the outside world.

Just who is in charge of the money?It seems that it is not King Yong, because the gate of the Prince's Mansion has been closed.

Is it Prince Lianjun?

As another person in charge of vaccinia research, Yinhu investigated the number and distribution of people who needed vaccination in the entire capital.

The glass factory is under the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is usually managed by the royal family.

Many years ago, King Zhijun managed it, and now there is a logical reason to hand it over to King Lianjun.

Yinhu also felt that he could do it, but he still recommended another person to Kangxi.

It was none other than the ninth brother.Yinzhen likes to do business, so it is just right to let him manage the accounts, and it is also a reward for his hard work in figuring out the population in the capital waiting to be vaccinated.

"Who do you think the emperor will choose?"

Wu Fuyi returned to the mansion and threw this question to Yinzhen.

Yinzhen is concentrating on his reading.

In the past five months, he has not been idle for a moment.It is more functional than in the study room back then, and achieved a soaring breakthrough in English.

From only knowing a hundred or so English words, to initially translating the literal meaning of Newton's "Principles" into text.Although he can't understand the meaning of every sentence, it doesn't prevent him from reading it without asking for a deep understanding.

This rapid progress is driven by invisible forces.

Yinzhen is very sober, he must work harder than anyone else, and must not lag behind.

On the one hand, it is to have enough ability to teach children.

On the other hand, living as the Wu family, he must have extraordinary value so that he will not be buried in the back house.

Right now, when Wu Fuyi returns from the glass factory, he is about to show the old ghost the translated version.

As for who will be in charge of glass window sales?

From Yinzhen's point of view, this is a trivial matter.

Today is different from the past, he has long stopped thinking about the errand given by Kangxi.

It's not because those things have nothing to do with the Wu family, so I no longer fancy them, but I understand that waiting for the emperor's appointment is ultimately a bad idea.

A truly brilliant hunter is one who silently guides the emperor to do something, but Kangxi is ignorant and even feels sorry for the hard work of the other party.

This hunter is talking about old ghosts.

With that in mind, does it matter who sells the glass windows?

However, since Wu Fuyi asked, he might as well answer.

"From my point of view, the eighth, ninth, and tenth are all out of action."

Yinzhen almost didn't think much about it, and gave a candidate that the world seldom thinks about.

"It is said that it is managed by the royal family, but it does not have to be the prince. It is estimated that it is the prince of Li who is acting on behalf of Shan. Four years ago, Daishan's great-grandson Chun Tai inherited the title. Chun Tai, this year is a good time for young and promising .”

Why choose Chuntai?

This has something to do with Yinhu, specifically, it has something to do with Yuele, Prince An, the grandfather of the Bafujin Guoluoluo clan.

Daishan, the son of Nurhachi, was once the head of the Four Great Baylors.

Nurhachi passed away, and although Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, the four major Baylors were still in power at the beginning.

Different from other brothers, Daishan has always carried out his attitude of supporting his younger brother Huang Taiji.

Even if Huang Taiji died, he firmly stated that the father should be the son, and supported Fulin to succeed.Opposed to Dorgon's brother and brother and said.

When Kangxi ascended the throne, Daishan's grandson Jieshu succeeded him, and he made military exploits in quelling the San Francisco Rebellion.

Let's talk about Yue Le.

Yue Le is the grandson of Nurhachi, and his father Abatai is not ranked among the four great Baylors, and his achievements are mediocre.

Yue Le and Fu Lin are of the same generation.

Before his death, Emperor Shunzhi once thought of passing the throne to his cousin Yue Le instead of his son Xuanye.ask why?He trusted his cousin more than he loved his son.

If it were not for Xiaozhuang and his courtiers' strong opposition, there would be no Emperor Kangxi.

One emperor and one courtier.

Kangxi ascended the throne, can he have a good face towards Yue Le?Even though he insisted on not changing his father's order for three years at first, he was still wary of Prince An's lineage.

Yue Le has been dead for 12 years, but the liquidation against him does not stop there.

Just last year, another great-grandson of Daishan, Noni, filed a complaint.

It means that he is the sufferer. Many years ago, Yue Le was in charge of the clan mansion, tried his case and sentenced him to the death penalty of unfilial piety, and sent him to prison.

Noni was released later, and Baylor's title was restored, but he has always been worried about Yue Le's misjudgment for selfishness, and hopes to get justice every day.

Is it wrong?Is it a misjudgment?

Yue Le has been dead for 12 years, and there is no proof of his death.

However, Kangxi stood in the line of Prince Li, canceled Yue Le's posthumous title, and demoted him to the title of King of Anjun.

Because of the grievances and grievances of Daishan, Yue Le, and Kangxi, it is not difficult to speculate on the candidates for glass sales today.

Yinzhen has a precise grasp of Kangxi's mind.

If Bafujin hadn't had a hand in vaccinia research before, it might not have reminded Kangxi of the threat that Prince An once brought.

Yue Le is dead, but he was once reused by Emperor Shunzhi, and even had the possibility of inheriting the throne for a time. One can imagine the extensive network of his connections in the court.

The more active and capable Guo Luoluo is, the more unfavorable it will be for Yinhu.It seems to remind the emperor all the time that the descendants of Prince An's family have an undying desire for power.

Do you understand these truths?

Yinzhen guessed that the eighth brother might really not understand.Sometimes, Khan Ama's favoritism is actually guarding against him, and his indifference is actually protection.

Soon, Yinzhen's speculation came true.

Kangxi announces the candidate and puts Daishan's great-grandson Chuntai in charge of the sales of glass windows.

Then, he comforted the princes who were not elected, don't be sad, don't be sad.Soon, a month later during the Spring Festival, they will be given a generous gift as compensation.

What kind of gift?

All the people were in a fog.

Yinzhen had to work very hard to restrain himself, so that the corners of his mouth would not twitch too much.

He handed the Chinese version of "Principle" he translated to Wu Fuyi. Wu Fuyi gave him a 360-degree all-round praise, and then promised to make this translation come out in a dignified way.

However, Yinzhen really wanted to know, this year's festival, if everyone received Newton's "Principle" as a gift, would everyone be in a good mood?
