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

The chime bell that should be dismantled cannot be kept in the end.

Kangxi came to his senses, and readily granted the fourth and third family a priceless Western clock.

In terms of credit, the gold and silver that the fourth child returned from Dongyingkeng is enough to be worth these bells.

What's more, these clocks can't be regarded as a reward, because dismantling them is serious work, and it is to ensure the safety of going to sea.

A certain kind of clock can control the progress of navigation?

This kind of statement is absurd fantasy from other people, but it is a statement of fact when it appears in the old four's notebook.

It's not a double-standard bias, but there are both empirical and theoretical basis in front of the case.

At the moment, Kangxi looked serious, reading the summary of the research progress of the latitude and longitude of Western countries written by the fourth child.

Europas are keen to go to sea, they hope to improve the safety and accuracy of navigation and do not hesitate to offer high rewards.

Many of them have put forward the theory of positioning the route by time difference, and derived the hypothesis of the nautical clock from this theory.

This hypothesis actually dates back to 1530.

The Dutch mathematician Ga Maflissy wanted to build a precise sea clock, but he was constrained by the lack of exquisite clock-making technology.

After more than 170 years, it is still impossible to artificially make a clock with accurate minutes and seconds, but it is natural to think of other ways.Look at the sky, and use the lunar distance method and Jupiter satellite method to locate the position of the ship.

What attracted Kangxi's attention was not just various observation methods, but the means used by the Europa people to accomplish this.

It is clearly written in the brochure that due to the inconvenience of communication, European countries originally did their own research, and there were also patent disputes over who made progress first.

Later, countries began to cooperate one after another.

King Louis XIV of France sent astronomical observation teams to various parts of the world in order to draw a more complete star map.

This proposal was echoed by other countries, and although the perfect latitude and longitude positioning has not yet been completed, it has drawn a rough map of the earth.

The active exploration and research in the West is constantly deepening, and everyone is enthusiastic, even the famous Newton is also involved in it.

I can't help but ask, can the Qing Dynasty do it?

If this kind of research is regarded as ingenious obscenity, how many can compare with Western researchers when underestimating it?

The same technology can be regarded as heresy. When two, three, four, etc. a bunch of technologies are superimposed, will quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes?

Today, there is no further breakthrough in navigation technology, but no one can tell whether the time for innovation will be next year.

At that time, the Europa people will be able to travel unimpeded on the sea, but the Qinghai ships can't even match their positioning, and there is no talk of guarding the border.

Even closing the customs is useless.Guns can come across the sea, but the scariest thing is that you don't know how long it will take to attack.Europe is far across the ocean, but did the Europas occupy other territories near the Qing Dynasty?

Regarding the above, Lao Si bluntly said that he seldom thought about it when he lived in the capital, but the intuitive feeling of sailing in the sea makes people have to think deeply.

The sea is very dangerous, and such a danger has attracted Westerners to explore one after another.

For more than 170 years, he has been persistently studying the method of going to sea. This adventurous spirit is attracted by interests.The more vast the East is, the more attractive it is to exchange for profits.

Although the Qing Dynasty was not at peace for a long time, some people did not know how to fight.

One ebbs and another, when the qualitative change of technology, which is regarded as ingenious obscenity, occurs, does the Qing Dynasty have the power to resist it?

And here comes the question, when will the technological turning point for safe and accurate going to sea appear?

Or to ask more directly, who will be the unlucky emperor who happens to be attacked by a Western group?

The fourth child's excerpt certainly wouldn't have asked such a direct question, and there wasn't even a single relevant word in the whole article.

But it said that England has a group of outstanding researchers such as Newton, and Europa cooperates with each other, and that technological breakthroughs will happen sooner or later.

Kangxi's sense of urgency was ignited, and he began to diverge his thinking.

He considers himself to be keeping pace with the times, and dare to say that he is one of the best at the time when it comes to understanding the development of Western academic theories and technologies.

According to the understanding of the development of the West, it will not collide with Europa's technological innovation explosion in the past ten or twenty years.From the emergence of new technologies to their full application, it will take at least ten years of development.

This year, I am 49 years old.

Life at seventy is rare since ancient times.That is to say, if I can live to 70 years old, I will never be that unlucky guy, and I will not bump into the Western countries and surpass the Qing Dynasty, but it is hard to say who will succeed me.

Now think of the prince.

When I think of Yinfeng, I can't feel better.

Suo'etu and his cronies died in last year's autumn wind.

Half a year has passed, but Yinfeng has not changed for the better.His relationship with Xiong Cilu has become closer, but it is not the kind of change that he hoped for.

Xiong Cilu entered the court as an official very early.Comparing with the timeline, Obai was still in power at that time.

In the sixth year of Kangxi, he wrote "Wan Yan Shu" to express his concept of governing the country with Confucianism.Later, he went to the palace to give lectures, so it can be said that he became the emperor's teacher.

At that time, Kangxi was young.After some edification in Confucianism, he also accepted such a set of theories to govern the country.

For a long time, Xiong Cilu can be called trust.Even if he turned to Suo'etu after he and Mingzhu had a bad relationship, he didn't think he was involved in the party struggle.

Therefore, Xiong Cilu was asked to give lectures on the East Palace four years ago, hoping to educate Yinfeng to become a wise prince.

Kangxi felt that he had listened to Xiong Cilu's class when he was young, and later practiced it with good results, and the prince should be able to achieve similar results.

For this teacher, Yinfeng will not reject it either.Because Xiong Cilu has a good relationship with Suo'etu, it's not about finding someone who is specifically against Yinreng to correct his behavior, so that Yinreng will not have rebellious thoughts.

The development of the situation will inevitably backfire.

In the four years of teaching, Yinreng did not reject Xiong Cilu, but he did not learn the advantages of Confucianism such as respect for behavior and simplicity, prudence in employing people, pure heart and few desires, pragmatism and hard work. Instead, he used this to win over southern civil servants.

Here is an important point.

Xiong Ci Lu Dongge University Bachelor and Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he is the examiner of the imperial examination, in charge of the examination every three years.Yinfeng established the prestige among southern literati through the imperial examination system.

Of course Kangxi could see clearly that the prince was developing his power.After Suo'etu's death last year, Yinfeng still didn't stop.

Now that things are going on, how can we not doubt whether Xiong Cilu has two masters in his heart, because he feels that he has been the emperor for a long time, and he is willing to pave the way for the prince?

bother!Very sad!

If you have this doubt, act immediately to test it out.

Li Guangdi and Xiong Cilu had been at odds for a long time, and everyone knew about it.

Last year when he returned to Beijing from his southern tour, Kangxi went to ask Li Guangdi if he had a list of candidates.Which southern literati do not form a party, can work in the South Study Room, and can give lectures to the prince?

This is not only to prepare to replace the teachers around the prince, but also to take the opportunity to educate the sons.

After that, He Zhuo was selected from Li Guangdi's recommendation list.On the grounds that He Zhuo is a filial son, he was given the title of Juren and asked him to work in Beijing Lai Nan Study.

At first glance this sounds absurd.

Juren should be a title that can only be obtained by passing the provincial examination.

The emperor gave it directly, which obviously violated the usual rules.But what we want is to make an exception, an exception because of filial piety.

I hope the sons, especially the prince, will understand the intention.Filial piety is very important. Brothers who sincerely respect Khan Ama can get special treatment.

This year is the examination year again, and people are invited to participate in the examination, and those who pass can become Jinshi.

On the surface, he kept his composure, and still let Xiong Cilu be the head examiner, but he really wanted to see the situation of this year's imperial examination papers.

Hope you don't let me down.

Kangxi's thinking diverged a lot, and finally returned to the old four's notebook.

With the prince as a comparison, the development of the demolition of the old four dynasties is not annoying at all, but it is called my father's favorite.

The fourth child's shortcoming is that he is too honest.

In the booklet, he confessed that he didn't want to tell others about his concerns about Western techniques, but only wanted to talk to Khan Ama.

Because I trust Khan Ama's knowledge and heart very much, and I trust Khan Ama's love for his son even more.

Khan Ama understands the size of the world and has a sense of urgency, so he would not say that his concerns are unfounded or alarmist.

Kangxi understood the meaning of the fourth child, and he sincerely hoped that Khan Ama would live a long life.With the emperor's father, who is knowledgeable, just and benevolent, as a backer, he can make breakthroughs in navigation technology with peace of mind.

Assuming that the crown prince is replaced, can Yinfeng allow the younger brothers to play their own roles?And can you realize what kind of threat is secretly accumulating power on the other side of the sea?

The answer may be obvious, but you don't know what to do next.

Kangxi stared at the fourth child's notebook again.

If the fourth child asks a bunch of questions, why don't you make yourself feel bad?The reason is quite simple. The fourth child has proved with practical actions that no matter how many problems there are, he is not afraid to find a solution.

For example, the importance of navigation technology was mentioned this time. Westerners did not understand the method of precise positioning after a few hundred or two hundred years. Once they figured it out, it would be the beginning of a challenge to the Qing Dynasty.

The fourth child made such foresight, not complaining bitterly, but immediately dismantled the bell, and proved with practical actions that he was not afraid of the coming challenges.Western countries are powerful, as long as they surpass them.

As for whether it can surpass success?

Kangxi subconsciously has a tendency. Others may not be able to do it, but the fourth child can.The fourth child has more than one successful precedent, from cowpox to the improvement of glass technology.

As an emperor and a father, he would definitely prefer a son like the fourth who is filial, capable of doing things, and able to create miracles.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Wu Fuyi received the imperial decree and went into the palace to choose a few chime bells.The emperor said that he would reward the king of Yongjun with three clocks, and let him choose the style he liked in the inner library.

This feeling is good, and you can choose different models if you can choose independently.

It is not only the Western clock that is brought back, but also the new work for the new year.It's an old routine. On the surface, I get a job to repair Yinxiang's mansion, and I have more time to study the nautical clock in Zhuangzi in the northern suburbs in private.

Last year, Yinxiang had been mourning for his biological mother Concubine Min for three years.After getting rid of the clothes, he was going to prepare for marriage at his age.

This year is the draft year.

What Kangxi meant was to choose a suitable thirteenth Fujin and let Yinxiang get married within this year. He is 17 years old and can't delay any longer.Even Yinzhen got married last year, and he can't wait any longer as an older brother.

The thirteenth elder brother's mansion has also been built for several years, even if the progress has been slowed down because of Yinxiang's filial piety, the construction is almost done.

It is actually a very easy job for the fourth child to supervise the work, just prepare for the final inspection.This job is also easy to do, the fourth child has worked as a supervisor for the mansions of the twelfth and fourteenth before.

Wu Fuyi didn't forget that he said at the beginning that he would give Yinxiang a wedding gift and help install a full set of glass windows in his mansion.

After obtaining Kangxi's consent, the matter was arranged.After the guests attending the thirteen elder brother's wedding see the decoration effect of the glass windows, it will be able to add another good result to the promotion of glass window sales.

The overseer and the demolition of the bell are both correct.

Afterwards, the Western clock was transported back to Zhuangzi in the northern suburbs, where a new round of research began.

Yinzhen stepped on the spot, and took advantage of the break after lunch to find someone in the dining room next to the clock room. "I have something to talk to you about."

"Go ahead."

Wu Fuyi leaned on the rattan rocking chair, looking at Yinzhen's solemn appearance, but he didn't know why he came.

When Xu Zhen speaks, he usually doesn't go straight to the point.He started first, "What year is this year, do you remember?"

What year could it be?

Wu Fuyi blinked and suddenly realized. "I remember, this year is the draft year. The emperor has told you to hurry up and build the Thirteenth Brother's Mansion for Yinxiang to marry.

As for the Palace of the Prince of Yongjun, there will be no newcomers. This matter was approved by the emperor three years ago.The day before yesterday, I heard the emperor talk about the draft, and confirmed it with him again, not referring to rookies.Don't worry, there will be no chaos in the mansion. "

As he spoke, Wu Fuyi gave Yinzhen a complicated look.

It seems to say that he has so many things to worry about, and he doesn't have that kind of worldly desire.If you were an uninformed person, you would think that Wu Ze Fujin would be jealous.

Yinzhen took a deep breath.

This is all a mess, he swore that before hearing these words, he had never thought of drafting a rookie at all.

Originally, I wanted to say that this year is the year of the meeting, but the direction of the wind this year is a bit wrong.

Kangxi specially rewarded three people, He Zhuo, Jiang Tingxi, and Wang Hao failed the provincial examination, and were awarded the title of Juren because of their reputation as dutiful sons.

These three people are going to participate in this year's exam, and the examiner is Xiong Cilu, so there must be something wrong here.

Take He Zhuo as an example, he is famous for his crazy life.

Although He Zhuo is also a southern literati, the faction of southern literati who has made friends with Xiong Cilu is extremely different.The reason why he failed to pass the examination was that before the provincial examination, he had exposed that the examiner Xu Qianxue was manipulating the Jiangnan imperial examination.

Can He Zhuo and the others pass the examination for Xiong Cixi this time?What is the meaning of Kangxi's move?

Yinzhen pondered how to use this shareholder style to realize his idea.

He will not bear the robbing at sea alone, and more people must be involved in the construction of safe going to sea.

He obviously came with such a serious topic, why did he think about the draft?He has nothing to think about. After becoming the Wu family, he will lose those worldly desires.

However, having said that, the two of them have not talked about this issue, for example, will the fourth elder brother have children in the future?

correct.

Yin Zhen thought of a question after knowing it.

A question that I never thought about, was the old ghost male or female when he was alive?
