History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]
Chapter 120
Fourth Master clearly sensed the changes in the imperial court. Recently, the imperial court seems to be vaguely targeting foreigners. It is well known that the sea trade can get a lot of benefits. In the past, the imperial court was the leader, and the big guys followed behind. drink soup.
Now that the imperial court has let go, it is their turn to start. Just letting the family visit last year can recover the previous cost. Overseas is not as uninteresting as the previous court said, but has great benefits.
For a while, many people in the court changed their minds, thinking that the previous policy of closing the country to the outside world was really stupid.
Of course, there are also some who want to monopolize the benefits and still insist on the previous thinking, but under the current big wave, there is no ripple at all.
It has become a well-known thing to make money by doing sea trade, but this piece of fat has become exclusive to the upper class of the Qing Dynasty. The folks only heard about it, and they always feel that this kind of thing is far away from them.
But this time a news came out suddenly, it turned out that on the distant continent, gold was everywhere, and only one ticket was needed, which could change the poor fate of the whole family.
How could this not attract people's fascination, and it spread all over the north and south of the river at the fastest speed. Except for the really closed places, even the herdsmen on the Mongolian grasslands heard the news.
Not to mention the folks, even the people in the imperial court can't sit still. How can such a good thing make those mud legs cheaper?
Now that they intend to grab gold from foreigners, their attitude towards foreigners has changed. No matter how clean the foreigners are, they can feel the vague inquiring around them, and many people are even more bitter. They are just missionaries, not businessmen and Criminal, where can I clearly know about the New World?
Minning received the news from Australia, but did not tell others. Compared with the richer America, Australia is closer to the Qing Dynasty, but she did not plan to say it in a short time.
Firstly, if they knew that there was a continent that was closer, who would be willing to look far away?
Then all the previous arrangements made by Minning will be in vain. What she wants most is not inedible gold, but the rich species on the American continent.
What's more, such a rich continent can completely fill the stomachs of the people.
Minning intends to build the Americas as a colony. The people in the Central Plains love land the most. Minning believes that as long as he agrees to divide the land, the population can be relocated and mixed with the local natives.
Just like the ancestors for thousands of years, they used the culture of the Central Plains to educate the barbarians.
However, the population of the Qing Dynasty is not large now, only more than 2 million, which is far from the population of more than one billion in the previous life, and it cannot enjoy the dividends brought by the population.
This requires the Qing Dynasty to encourage birth. To feed such a large population, a large amount of grain is needed. So how to get food, besides improving grain types, is to find new fertile land.
Minning decided to keep the matter of Australia a secret, so the achievement of America would be given to the emperor, and Australia would be left to the fourth master.
Open up now, and the fourth master will be able to enjoy the benefits of America when he succeeds.
In the first great court after the Lantern Festival, all the memorials presented to the court to establish the crown prince were suppressed by the emperor.
Whether it was asking for the establishment of other princes or the restoration of the abolished prince, the emperor kept silent.
Because the crown prince has not been decided, the courtiers are inevitably unstable and have no intention of doing business.
The emperor also knew that the delay could not go on, so he re-appointed the crown prince on the sixth day after the Lantern Festival. bit.The emperor can be regarded as having absorbed the previous lesson, it was because they had no titles before that they had delusions, but he forgot that this was not the previous dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty did not assign fiefdoms to the princes.
The third master originally thought he had hope, but was caught off guard by the emperor. The emperor named him Prince Cheng from Baylor on the grounds that he had a good relationship with the prince.
At the same time, the fourth master was promoted to Prince Yong.
Among them, probably only Lao Jiu feels that he is the most pitiful. His eighth brother is Prince Lian, his ninth younger brother is Prince Dun, and his elder brother is Prince Heng. It just happened to be a baby, probably because the old man didn't want to see him, and he couldn't even give him a baby.
Even Shisi is better than him, although he is also a beige, but he has the title of Gushan.
Thinking of this, the newly-baked Jiu Beizi was discouraged. It was better than nothing, at least better than Xiao Shisan who was introspecting at home, because he was not favored by Khan Ama, and he was still a bald elder brother.
All of a sudden, it changed from Zhenbeiler's Mansion to Prince Yong's Mansion. The people in the mansion walked with wind, no matter which one had a smile on their face.
The Baylor Mansion became the Prince's Mansion. The first thing was that the regulations of the mansion had to be changed. The Prince's Mansion had its own regulations. The mansion was twice as large as the Baylor Mansion, but with a little more behind it, it had to be close to the city wall. If there is no way to expand, it can only expand forward.
Fourth Master planned to buy and renovate the few rows of houses in front of the mansion, so that he would become a neighbor with Bolin Temple.
As for the Baye Mansion behind the Berlin Temple, there is nowhere to expand.
It just so happened that neither fourth master nor eighth master wanted to put themselves under the other's nose.
The action of the Eighth Master was also considered neat, and he immediately reported it to the emperor, and chose another place to reopen the mansion. It happened that there was a vacant land between the Prince Yu's Mansion and the Prince An's Mansion, so the Eighth Master chose this place to build the mansion Be neighbors with these two princes' mansions.
Since the eighth master wanted to move out, the fourth master was not too polite, just because he thought the East Garden was too narrow, so he expanded the east garden to the east, and without any politeness, allocated half of the original residence of the eighth master to the garden area.
As soon as the drawings come out, the construction does not start immediately. It will take a lot of time to demolish the row of flag houses in front of it.It's not as simple as the old eight next door, who just wait for the new mansion to be built before moving in.
Fourth master wanted to move to another place to live temporarily, but the mansion over Changchun Garden hadn't been built yet, so he could only move to the mansion for a while.
The emperor probably saw the embarrassment of the fourth son. In addition, what this son has done these years is inevitably in line with his wishes. He is sincere and only thinks of him, Ama. Thinking of this, the emperor built a new building in the north of Changchun Garden. gave him his garden.
Four days after receiving the garden, Fourth Master named it "Old Summer Palace", and then moved in.
Minning felt a little dazed when he heard this name, as if he had witnessed history.
This future Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens finally has its name.
Moving into the Old Summer Palace to compare with the emperor is probably the envy of every prince, especially when the third master directly bought a piece of land and planned to build a garden.
After the fourth master became the prince, he asked for seals for the family members of the women in the backyard who had children, and the only candidate for the seals was Li Gege. In a blink of an eye, the Li family also became a side Fujin.
The fourth master was probably very stingy with the status of the backyard woman. When he was Baylor, he could have two side Fujin, but he only granted Minning one.
When he became the prince, the vacancies of Cian Fujin expanded to four, but he only mentioned the status of Li, who has two sons.
There are still two seats, which makes the other women in the backyard want to see it, but the fourth master just gave up, and he doesn't know what it means.
Minning glanced at Fourth Master, this man is not as generous to women as his old man, and he is very stingy in giving women status, not only now but also in the future.
Mrs. Li trembled all of a sudden when she made a side Fujin. Although she said that her position in the mansion hadn't changed much, it could be clearly seen that it was justifiable to shake her prestige and change her name.
Especially for those little princesses below, they always put aside Fujin's spectrum.
According to seniority, it should be the Li family's turn to be the side Fujin. If it wasn't for Minning's accidental nomination by the emperor, according to the temperament of the fourth master, it is very likely that Minning would have to wait until this time to be invited to be the side Fujin together with Li. .
The Old Summer Palace was not very big, it was just an ordinary garden, built around the front lake and the back lake, and there were not many scenery inside, it was not as big as the garden next to it which belonged to the Pearl.
But now that the Pearl is gone, the garden will fall into the hands of his son. If the descendants do not improve, it is very likely that the garden will not be kept. After all, the land next to Changchun Garden is very popular.
There are not many buildings in the Old Summer Palace, and there are not many places to live, so the fourth master brought Fujin Minning, Mrs. Li and a few children from the mansion, and the other Gege naturally stayed in the mansion.
Minning felt inconvenient after living here for a while, mainly because it was inconvenient to meet people. The place is very close to Changchun Garden, and it is easy to be found if there is a slight movement of the car coming and going.Unlike before, the mansion was only in one corner, so you don't have to worry about other people's eyes.
In March, the plants and trees in the Old Summer Palace have sprouted green shoots, looking lush and full of vitality.
Minning also received news that Zheng Jun had returned. Not only did he come back, he even brought back the natives from America.
This surprised Minning very much, especially since Zheng Jun also sent a letter, in which he wrote in detail his discoveries in America over the years.
Minning's face became serious, and he handed the letter to Fourth Master.
After reading the letter, Fourth Master immediately frowned, "In other words, on that continent, there are still survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties?" People thought it was a new continent, but people from the Central Plains had arrived thousands of years ago.
Fourth master has been paying attention to the news from the New World these days. After all, the crown prince has been reinstated and the position of the crown prince has come to an end. Everyone has temporarily stopped, and naturally turned their attention to the hottest overseas gold rush.
At present, only one ship came back with gold. Although the imperial court believed that it was true, the evidence was too little to convince everyone, so they let the common people go to sea to obtain more proofs.
This time, several ships came back, also carrying a large amount of gold and silver, which became more and more convinced by the people in the court, driving the people along the coast crazy.
The fourth master has already received the news that these ships are all under the name of An Jia, and it is also in her name, the emperor did not move, but asked the fourth master to inquire, otherwise, those ships had just landed It was confiscated by the emperor in any name.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, Minning stuffed him with a letter.
After the fourth master read the letter, he had a general understanding of the Americas. He thought that the land was discovered by foreigners.
Unexpectedly, I got an unexpected piece of news. It turned out that it was not foreigners who arrived in that land first, but ancestors who traveled across the ocean thousands of years ago.
Fourth Master felt that if this letter was handed in, Khan Ama would definitely be interested.
Putting the letter away, he asked Minning, "Could that Zheng Jun under your command come and come with me to see Khan Ama?"
Min Ning immediately said, "He is still in Tianjin, why don't I send a letter to him and ask him to bring the survivor of the Yin Shang Dynasty back." Speaking of this, Min Ning said again: "It just so happens that Zheng Jun also brought him from America. There are quite a few 'souvenirs', why don't you give them to the emperor."
The fourth master immediately frowned, "Ama Khan will be rare for those local products?"
Min Ning said angrily: "Master, you haven't seen it yet, so how do you know that Long Live is not satisfied with the 'local specialties' brought back from across the ocean?" Besides a lot of grain, there is also half a boatload of gold and silver.
Except for those distributed to other crew members, the rest of Zheng Jun was given to her as a gift. Looking at the gift list, Minning felt that these would be of great use in the hands of the emperor. As for the gold and silver inside, they should be for the emperor. She does not lack this point, just to let the emperor see the wealth of America.
I heard that the emperor has been very tight recently, because he purchased a large amount of cement to take advantage of the dry season to rush to repair the river.
Minning casually handed over the gift slip, Fourth Master glanced at her before taking it, and after a few glances, he put the gift slip back in his arms.
I didn't expect that besides the few grain seeds that came in, there were so many unheard of seeds.
It is not yet known whether these seeds can adapt to the climate of the Qing Dynasty, but it does not matter, hardworking farmers will let these seeds multiply on this land.
Zheng Jun returned to the capital on the third day, and it was Yamon who came back with him. Over the years, he taught many people to speak Chinese, and only Yamon learned the best. Although his tone is a bit strange, it did not delay him. Talk to people.
Zheng Jun shaved off his hair and beard before returning to the land, and now it seems that he is not much different from other people except for the vicissitudes of life.
When Zheng Jun returned to the capital, he was not in a hurry to meet his master, but went back to his hometown to kowtow to his mother whom he hadn't seen for several years.
Widow Li cried, hugged her son, and thumped his shoulder, "You son of a bitch, why haven't you heard from me for so long? I thought I'd never see you again until I die! Your father is only you, the only child, if You are gone, how can I be worthy of your father when I go down?"
With tears in his eyes, Zheng Jun couldn't help saying to Widow Li, "Mother, it's my fault. Everything is my fault. It's because my son is unfilial and didn't come back sooner."
Widow Li also cried in her arms and said, "Mother knows that you are a person who does great things, so she won't stop you, but you have to leave a queen for the family." At this point, she wiped her tears and said to Zheng Jun, "Mother, look I have won a daughter-in-law, and I will beg you later, you have to listen to me this time, if you don’t give me a grandson, you will not be allowed to leave home.”
Zheng Jun looked at his mother's graying hair, and nodded sadly, "Mother, I listen to you, whoever you fancy, my son will marry you back."
After hearing the promise, Widow Li immediately got up with a smile, "You said this, and you are not allowed to backtrack on what you said later. The girl I fancy is really a capable person, and I promise to suit your wishes..."
Zheng Jun forced his lips into a smile, and at this moment there was a knock on the door outside.
"Mom, I'll talk about this later, I'll open the door first."
After Zheng Jun opened the door, he found a stranger outside, and immediately showed vigilance.
Widow Li, who came later, saw the person coming, and immediately pushed her son's arm away and greeted with a smile, "So it's Eunuch Liu, I don't know what's the matter here?"
Then he introduced it to his son, "This one is Eunuch Liu from the palace. He has taken good care of me in the past few years."
As soon as Zheng Jun returned to Beijing, he knew that Lord Belle was already a prince, although he knew which palace the palace he talked about in recent years referred to.
Thank you immediately, "Thank you, father-in-law, for taking care of my mother for so many years."
Eunuch Liu shook his head with a smile and said, "Master Zheng, don't be polite. All this is the master's account. If you do things for the master, the master will naturally take good care of your home."
Zheng Jun waved his hand, "It's not worth calling me Mr. Zheng, just call me Zheng Jun."
Eunuch Liu raised his hand to stop him, "You're welcome, that's what I call Master Lin next door."
Now here Zheng Jun did not continue to refuse, but asked: "I don't know why you are here this time?"
"Master said, later, Lord Long Live may summon you and the one you brought back, and please follow me to Changchun Garden to wait."
Zheng Jun knew about the face saint a long time ago, and he even knew that the few carts he brought today had passed through the imperial city and presented them to the emperor.
Originally, I thought that at least one day would be enough, but I didn't expect that the emperor might summon him as soon as he entered Beijing.
Zheng Jun looked at the room next to him, where Yamon was placed by him. Thinking like this, Zheng Jun said to Eunuch Liu, "Please wait a moment, Eunuch, I will change clothes and go with my companion."
Eunuch Liu didn't make things difficult for him either, but he knew that this one, like Lin Yuan, was a confidant of Fang Fujin, thinking of this, Eunuch Liu put a smile on his face, "No hurry, there is still a little time, Zheng Your Excellency can take care of you first."
Although Eunuch Liu said so, Zheng Jun dared not delay.
Soon, he changed his clothes and brought Amon out.
Although Yamon's facial features are somewhat similar to Daqing's, he can still tell the difference, but in general, compared with those foreigners who are regarded as monsters by ordinary people, he is more acceptable to Daqing.
The carriage had already stopped outside the door. Zheng Jun took Yamon into the carriage, and Eunuch Liu also sat on it. The driver outside flicked his whip, and the carriage started to run briskly.
The main road in the capital city was replaced with a concrete road last year. No matter it was cloudy or rainy, the muddy and bad roads were bid farewell, and the horse-drawn carriage ran briskly on it and could be easily driven.
Out of the imperial city all the way to the north, it only took more than an hour to arrive at Changchun Garden.
Zheng Jun felt that he had come early, because the carriages and goods he had brought back were all blocked at the gate of Changchun Garden and hadn't been pulled in yet.
Eunuch Liu naturally did not have the qualifications to enter Changchun Garden, so he took the two of them to the waiting place in Changchun Garden and sat down first.
If the emperor summoned him later, someone would naturally sing his name.
Fourth master had already come to the emperor's side, and presented the gift list and the letter together.
The emperor read the letter carefully first, "It seems that the land on the other side of the sea is really big." Then he shook the letter and asked the fourth master, "Fourth, do you think that land is really bigger than my Qing Dynasty? ?” The emperor didn’t believe that the continent was three times bigger than the Qing Dynasty, thinking it was just an exaggeration.
The fourth master replied with a deep groan, "I think, whether it's true or not, it's no less than Daqing."
No emperor could bear the temptation to open up territories, but this continent was too far away from the Qing Dynasty, it was like a chicken rib, it was tasteless to eat, and it was a pity to discard it.
Even if the Qing Dynasty sends troops to occupy it, if there is a rebellion later, there is no way to fight back, after all, it is not the land of the Central Plains.
The emperor was thinking about whether to send troops to occupy that piece of land, and then asked fourth master what he thought.
"My son thinks it's optional."
The emperor didn't like to hear such ambiguous statements, but since it was the fourth son's statement, the emperor was willing to listen to him continue.
The fourth master thought for a while before answering, "Occupying will cause friction with foreigners, and even cause war. The advantage is that this land is not only far away from us, but also from foreigners. Our disadvantages are the same as foreigners. If this is occupation, even if there is a war, it is far away from the Middle Earth.”
The emperor nodded, then knocked on the table and asked him, "What if we don't occupy it?"
"If you don't occupy it, then secretly support the local natives to fight against the foreigners. At that time, the merchant ships of the Qing Dynasty can sail to the New World, send more immigrants, and quietly eat away part of the land."
The emperor was not satisfied with the last statement, the effect was too slow, and the result might not be seen in his lifetime.
After much deliberation, the emperor was unwilling to give up this piece of fat to foreigners, so he decided that the two would be difficult.
The emperor put his heart down, looked at another gift list, saw many unfamiliar seed names on it and asked, "Are these brought from America?"
"Yes, many of them are used by the local natives for food. Zheng Jun also has a heart. He noticed that the origin of sweet potatoes and corn is there, so he wanted to bring back some good varieties."
The emperor nodded, "This man has a heart. He cares about the people of the Qing Dynasty. After these seeds are delivered, let Huangzhuang plant them first. After finding out the purpose, they will be pushed into the people."
"Khan Ama is wise."
Over there, Liang Jiugong had already counted the things in the warehouse and reported it to the emperor. The emperor asked him to bring all the seeds and the like to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so that the old farmer of Zhuangzi under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could find the seeds.
After Liang Jiugong's impression, the emperor remembered what the fourth child said just now: "Go and call that one." He said and looked at the fourth master.
Fourth Master bent over and replied, "It's Zheng Jun."
The emperor nodded and continued to say to Liang Jiugong, "Have you heard that, bring this person here."
After Liang Jiugong agreed, he hurried out.
The emperor is also interested in what Zheng Jun said about the Yin people, especially since he still has evidence to prove it.
After Zheng Jun came, he told the emperor what he had seen and heard in America, and told the story of his adventures so that people would be on the scene.
The emperor was also interested, especially when he said that a bronze tripod and scattered tortoise shells were found in an ancient tomb.
The emperor's eyes lit up. Could it be that the bronze tripod is the Jiuding that was lost as early as the pre-Qin period?
Although it is not like in ancient times, Jiuding is needed to prove the divine grant of the emperor, but if Jiuding is in his hands, it is tantamount to telling the world that his position as emperor is recognized by God.
The emperor, who had previously held a dispensable attitude towards the New World, immediately regained his spirits and asked Zheng Jun to describe the sphere of influence of the New World in detail.
Although they were all foreigners, they were divided into several countries. Even if the emperor wanted to send someone to bring the tripod back, he had to figure out the sphere of influence of those foreigners first.
Then he became a little annoyed. It seemed that foreigners still had a lot to guard against him. In the past, they only paid tribute to some unusable chime bells and firearms, and never leaked any news about the New World.
That was not a day and a half, but hundreds of years. Thinking that even the previous court was also kept secret by foreigners, the embarrassment in the emperor's heart immediately subsided.
We can't blame him for being concealed, we can only blame the foreigners for being too cunning.
In March, it was really lively.
As more and more people choose to go to sea, the emperor also joins in the fun and plans to send a boat to the New World.
As soon as the emperor sent someone, Minning became nervous, and even the fourth master found out that something was wrong with her.
Fortunately, Minning was able to prevaricate in time.
Taking this opportunity to say that he missed his son, he also got a chance to reply.
Because Yuan Bao still had to study in the academy, he did not accompany him to the Old Summer Palace.
Minning kept Biying to take care of him.
As soon as she returned to the mansion, she immediately sent someone to call Lin Yuan over. This is not Zheng Jun, but it was because Minning was afraid that the emperor would arrange someone beside Zheng Jun. During this period of time, let him take good care of his mother at home. Time led the emperor's fleet to retrieve the tripod.
Yes, Minning already knew about this, and she knew even more that this tripod was not an imitation tripod from the Zhou Dynasty, but probably the Jiuding tripod cast by Dayu to control the water.
Of course, it is true or not, and even if it is brought back, I don’t know, but the emperor said that it is it, unless the technology is developed enough to test how old the tripod is.
As soon as Lin Yuan came over, Minning immediately told him, "Immediately pass down the order, and all the firearms will be changed to look like foreigners."
Lin Yuan was a little hesitant, "But the weapons of foreigners are a bit backward." Changing his advanced firearms into firearms of foreigners is completely a waste of food because of choking.
Minning immediately said, "Change it now, change it immediately, Lord Long Live is going to send his henchmen to America, our firearms can't be found, we can only use the excuse that we bought them from foreigners."
Lin Yuan immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, thought for a while, and suggested to Minning, "Here, we can buy a batch from foreigners first and mix it in."
Minning thought for a while, and thought that this method would work, and then said, "Well, you should make arrangements as soon as possible, and make sure those people sent over don't find the firearms on other merchant ships before they dock. Put up the firearms for sale. When these people enter the mainland, they will have friction with foreigners, and then provide us with more advanced firearms, saying that they bought them from foreigners. If they have doubts, they will directly bring the problem to Over there with the foreigners." At worst, they would dedicate all the junk to the emperor, and keep the good things for themselves, and let the foreigners take the blame.
It just happened to let the emperor see that he had discarded firearms and was not allowed to use them any more, but all the foreigners had replaced them with firearms, and swords and guns could not resist firearms.How do you fight against foreigners in the future?
Lin Yuan nodded solemnly, "Yes, this subordinate will do it now."
Minning thought again that Zheng Jun was planning to make another trip to America to bring rubber trees, an urgently needed species, first. Unexpectedly, this person was called by the emperor to lead the way.
What a waste, Minning couldn't help but shook his head, and finally explained to Lin Yuan, "I will send a large group of people to America with Zheng Jun. He has stayed in America for a long time, and he probably knows where some things are. In this way, we Write down everything you need, and you bring it to Zheng Jun, and ask him to help collect some of them and send them back as soon as possible, and the research institutes in various places should also be upgraded."
Lin Yuan kept his mouth shut. He was no longer surprised that his master seemed to know America very well. He thought she knew it from foreigners. After all, this master likes to collect books about foreigners. It is very likely that she said she was looking for them. Things that foreigners have but have not been passed on to the Qing Dynasty.
After thinking about it, it seems that this is all. Minning first described the general appearance of the rubber tree, then thought hard about a few things, and finally even included strawberries and tomatoes.
Well, the last two are to satisfy the desire of the tongue, neither strawberries nor tomatoes can be found in the Qing Dynasty.
There are still records of tomatoes in the Ming Dynasty, but it is a pity that they have been used as ornamentals, and it is not known whether they have died, and they have not been found.
Minning had no choice but to send someone to America to search for it again. When he thought of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Minning couldn't help but drool.
I didn't feel like eating too much before, but since I thought about it when I was pregnant, I have been thinking about it.
Well, she is not here to satisfy her appetite. Tomatoes have a high yield and can also be eaten as food.
Swallowing his saliva, Minning said, "All the grains that Zheng Jun brought back are dedicated to Long Live Lord, so we have to find them ourselves. If we don't have enough people, we can recruit local aborigines to help find them. Don't be like foreigners. Similarly, if we have friction with the natives, let's try to be kind and don't show hostility."
Lin Yuan nodded, "This subordinate will explain first."
Minning continued: "After getting the seeds, send them to the south of the Yangtze River immediately, and let Zheng Jun abduct a few aboriginals who can plant these seeds back. Remember to inoculate them with vaccinia after landing. These aboriginals grow in different environments and are easily infected. Smallpox, they are not as easy to resist as ours."
After explaining everything that needs to be explained, Min Ning really couldn't figure it out, so he let Lin Yuan back down.
She loves to worry like this. In fact, her subordinates have already been trained. After suffering enough losses once or twice, she can always learn to consider things thoroughly. However, Minning is always afraid that something will go wrong, so she has made up all the problems in advance.
It seems that she still has something to learn. The higher-ups only issue orders, not solve things. These ways of thinking and loopholes should be filled in by the people below.
Minning felt that the stall in his hands was getting bigger and bigger, and gradually he couldn't bear it. He thought that he would not be able to eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he should change his thinking, and planned to slowly hand over the matter to the people below.
It's time to set up a company and divide all the stalls, so that the chaos in the industry should end.
"Cian Fujin, there are official media coming to the door." A maid standing by the door whispered.
Minning was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, he stared at the little maid with wide eyes. "What? Official media?"
Where did the official media come from, why did they come to the palace?
She then asked again, "Are you looking for me? Or Fujin?"
"Back to Fujin, the official media said they were looking for you." Minning was really surprised now. Few people knew about her return home. Where did the official media come to block her?
Minning also showed interest and said, "Then ask someone to come in, just to see who is the matchmaker for you."
The children are still young, so they would definitely not be matchmakers for the children in the mansion, not to mention that the children in the mansion are all grandchildren of the emperor, and those official matchmakers are not qualified and have the courage to come to the door.
In this way, it is very likely that it is for the servant girl in the house, and he specifically said that he came to find her, so it is very likely that it is the servant girl beside her.
who can that be?
Minning kept guessing in his heart.
Minning did not invite the official media to the inner court, but met her directly in the outer court.
The official media dress is decent, not like the folk drama said there is a mole above the mouth, she is an ordinary woman who is an ordinary student, at most the clothes on her body are better than those worn by ordinary people, The hair is smeared with osmanthus oil and combed meticulously.
As soon as a group of people entered the room, the official media immediately stood up and saluted, "I have seen the side Fujin, and the side Fujin is auspicious and healthy."
Min Ning, who was surrounded by the crowd, raised her hand to make people stand up, then walked to the front and sat down, beside her, Biying Molan and several maids who often served her stood on both sides of her.
Biying took the teacup from the little maid and tried it on the back of her hand before putting it in front of Minning. Minning picked up the teacup and took a sip before asking.
"I don't know how to call this matchmaker?"
"My husband's family name is Zhu, and others call my slave's sister Zhu. This time, I was entrusted by someone to come here to say goodbye to the maid next to Fujin." Sister Zhu said respectfully.
This is a maid in the palace, even more honorable than the young ladies of other families, not to mention the big maids around side Fujin, they are all raised as young ladies.
Minning glanced at the people around him, and then asked Mrs. Zhu, "Which one of the people around me are you talking about?"
Now that the imperial court has let go, it is their turn to start. Just letting the family visit last year can recover the previous cost. Overseas is not as uninteresting as the previous court said, but has great benefits.
For a while, many people in the court changed their minds, thinking that the previous policy of closing the country to the outside world was really stupid.
Of course, there are also some who want to monopolize the benefits and still insist on the previous thinking, but under the current big wave, there is no ripple at all.
It has become a well-known thing to make money by doing sea trade, but this piece of fat has become exclusive to the upper class of the Qing Dynasty. The folks only heard about it, and they always feel that this kind of thing is far away from them.
But this time a news came out suddenly, it turned out that on the distant continent, gold was everywhere, and only one ticket was needed, which could change the poor fate of the whole family.
How could this not attract people's fascination, and it spread all over the north and south of the river at the fastest speed. Except for the really closed places, even the herdsmen on the Mongolian grasslands heard the news.
Not to mention the folks, even the people in the imperial court can't sit still. How can such a good thing make those mud legs cheaper?
Now that they intend to grab gold from foreigners, their attitude towards foreigners has changed. No matter how clean the foreigners are, they can feel the vague inquiring around them, and many people are even more bitter. They are just missionaries, not businessmen and Criminal, where can I clearly know about the New World?
Minning received the news from Australia, but did not tell others. Compared with the richer America, Australia is closer to the Qing Dynasty, but she did not plan to say it in a short time.
Firstly, if they knew that there was a continent that was closer, who would be willing to look far away?
Then all the previous arrangements made by Minning will be in vain. What she wants most is not inedible gold, but the rich species on the American continent.
What's more, such a rich continent can completely fill the stomachs of the people.
Minning intends to build the Americas as a colony. The people in the Central Plains love land the most. Minning believes that as long as he agrees to divide the land, the population can be relocated and mixed with the local natives.
Just like the ancestors for thousands of years, they used the culture of the Central Plains to educate the barbarians.
However, the population of the Qing Dynasty is not large now, only more than 2 million, which is far from the population of more than one billion in the previous life, and it cannot enjoy the dividends brought by the population.
This requires the Qing Dynasty to encourage birth. To feed such a large population, a large amount of grain is needed. So how to get food, besides improving grain types, is to find new fertile land.
Minning decided to keep the matter of Australia a secret, so the achievement of America would be given to the emperor, and Australia would be left to the fourth master.
Open up now, and the fourth master will be able to enjoy the benefits of America when he succeeds.
In the first great court after the Lantern Festival, all the memorials presented to the court to establish the crown prince were suppressed by the emperor.
Whether it was asking for the establishment of other princes or the restoration of the abolished prince, the emperor kept silent.
Because the crown prince has not been decided, the courtiers are inevitably unstable and have no intention of doing business.
The emperor also knew that the delay could not go on, so he re-appointed the crown prince on the sixth day after the Lantern Festival. bit.The emperor can be regarded as having absorbed the previous lesson, it was because they had no titles before that they had delusions, but he forgot that this was not the previous dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty did not assign fiefdoms to the princes.
The third master originally thought he had hope, but was caught off guard by the emperor. The emperor named him Prince Cheng from Baylor on the grounds that he had a good relationship with the prince.
At the same time, the fourth master was promoted to Prince Yong.
Among them, probably only Lao Jiu feels that he is the most pitiful. His eighth brother is Prince Lian, his ninth younger brother is Prince Dun, and his elder brother is Prince Heng. It just happened to be a baby, probably because the old man didn't want to see him, and he couldn't even give him a baby.
Even Shisi is better than him, although he is also a beige, but he has the title of Gushan.
Thinking of this, the newly-baked Jiu Beizi was discouraged. It was better than nothing, at least better than Xiao Shisan who was introspecting at home, because he was not favored by Khan Ama, and he was still a bald elder brother.
All of a sudden, it changed from Zhenbeiler's Mansion to Prince Yong's Mansion. The people in the mansion walked with wind, no matter which one had a smile on their face.
The Baylor Mansion became the Prince's Mansion. The first thing was that the regulations of the mansion had to be changed. The Prince's Mansion had its own regulations. The mansion was twice as large as the Baylor Mansion, but with a little more behind it, it had to be close to the city wall. If there is no way to expand, it can only expand forward.
Fourth Master planned to buy and renovate the few rows of houses in front of the mansion, so that he would become a neighbor with Bolin Temple.
As for the Baye Mansion behind the Berlin Temple, there is nowhere to expand.
It just so happened that neither fourth master nor eighth master wanted to put themselves under the other's nose.
The action of the Eighth Master was also considered neat, and he immediately reported it to the emperor, and chose another place to reopen the mansion. It happened that there was a vacant land between the Prince Yu's Mansion and the Prince An's Mansion, so the Eighth Master chose this place to build the mansion Be neighbors with these two princes' mansions.
Since the eighth master wanted to move out, the fourth master was not too polite, just because he thought the East Garden was too narrow, so he expanded the east garden to the east, and without any politeness, allocated half of the original residence of the eighth master to the garden area.
As soon as the drawings come out, the construction does not start immediately. It will take a lot of time to demolish the row of flag houses in front of it.It's not as simple as the old eight next door, who just wait for the new mansion to be built before moving in.
Fourth master wanted to move to another place to live temporarily, but the mansion over Changchun Garden hadn't been built yet, so he could only move to the mansion for a while.
The emperor probably saw the embarrassment of the fourth son. In addition, what this son has done these years is inevitably in line with his wishes. He is sincere and only thinks of him, Ama. Thinking of this, the emperor built a new building in the north of Changchun Garden. gave him his garden.
Four days after receiving the garden, Fourth Master named it "Old Summer Palace", and then moved in.
Minning felt a little dazed when he heard this name, as if he had witnessed history.
This future Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens finally has its name.
Moving into the Old Summer Palace to compare with the emperor is probably the envy of every prince, especially when the third master directly bought a piece of land and planned to build a garden.
After the fourth master became the prince, he asked for seals for the family members of the women in the backyard who had children, and the only candidate for the seals was Li Gege. In a blink of an eye, the Li family also became a side Fujin.
The fourth master was probably very stingy with the status of the backyard woman. When he was Baylor, he could have two side Fujin, but he only granted Minning one.
When he became the prince, the vacancies of Cian Fujin expanded to four, but he only mentioned the status of Li, who has two sons.
There are still two seats, which makes the other women in the backyard want to see it, but the fourth master just gave up, and he doesn't know what it means.
Minning glanced at Fourth Master, this man is not as generous to women as his old man, and he is very stingy in giving women status, not only now but also in the future.
Mrs. Li trembled all of a sudden when she made a side Fujin. Although she said that her position in the mansion hadn't changed much, it could be clearly seen that it was justifiable to shake her prestige and change her name.
Especially for those little princesses below, they always put aside Fujin's spectrum.
According to seniority, it should be the Li family's turn to be the side Fujin. If it wasn't for Minning's accidental nomination by the emperor, according to the temperament of the fourth master, it is very likely that Minning would have to wait until this time to be invited to be the side Fujin together with Li. .
The Old Summer Palace was not very big, it was just an ordinary garden, built around the front lake and the back lake, and there were not many scenery inside, it was not as big as the garden next to it which belonged to the Pearl.
But now that the Pearl is gone, the garden will fall into the hands of his son. If the descendants do not improve, it is very likely that the garden will not be kept. After all, the land next to Changchun Garden is very popular.
There are not many buildings in the Old Summer Palace, and there are not many places to live, so the fourth master brought Fujin Minning, Mrs. Li and a few children from the mansion, and the other Gege naturally stayed in the mansion.
Minning felt inconvenient after living here for a while, mainly because it was inconvenient to meet people. The place is very close to Changchun Garden, and it is easy to be found if there is a slight movement of the car coming and going.Unlike before, the mansion was only in one corner, so you don't have to worry about other people's eyes.
In March, the plants and trees in the Old Summer Palace have sprouted green shoots, looking lush and full of vitality.
Minning also received news that Zheng Jun had returned. Not only did he come back, he even brought back the natives from America.
This surprised Minning very much, especially since Zheng Jun also sent a letter, in which he wrote in detail his discoveries in America over the years.
Minning's face became serious, and he handed the letter to Fourth Master.
After reading the letter, Fourth Master immediately frowned, "In other words, on that continent, there are still survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties?" People thought it was a new continent, but people from the Central Plains had arrived thousands of years ago.
Fourth master has been paying attention to the news from the New World these days. After all, the crown prince has been reinstated and the position of the crown prince has come to an end. Everyone has temporarily stopped, and naturally turned their attention to the hottest overseas gold rush.
At present, only one ship came back with gold. Although the imperial court believed that it was true, the evidence was too little to convince everyone, so they let the common people go to sea to obtain more proofs.
This time, several ships came back, also carrying a large amount of gold and silver, which became more and more convinced by the people in the court, driving the people along the coast crazy.
The fourth master has already received the news that these ships are all under the name of An Jia, and it is also in her name, the emperor did not move, but asked the fourth master to inquire, otherwise, those ships had just landed It was confiscated by the emperor in any name.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, Minning stuffed him with a letter.
After the fourth master read the letter, he had a general understanding of the Americas. He thought that the land was discovered by foreigners.
Unexpectedly, I got an unexpected piece of news. It turned out that it was not foreigners who arrived in that land first, but ancestors who traveled across the ocean thousands of years ago.
Fourth Master felt that if this letter was handed in, Khan Ama would definitely be interested.
Putting the letter away, he asked Minning, "Could that Zheng Jun under your command come and come with me to see Khan Ama?"
Min Ning immediately said, "He is still in Tianjin, why don't I send a letter to him and ask him to bring the survivor of the Yin Shang Dynasty back." Speaking of this, Min Ning said again: "It just so happens that Zheng Jun also brought him from America. There are quite a few 'souvenirs', why don't you give them to the emperor."
The fourth master immediately frowned, "Ama Khan will be rare for those local products?"
Min Ning said angrily: "Master, you haven't seen it yet, so how do you know that Long Live is not satisfied with the 'local specialties' brought back from across the ocean?" Besides a lot of grain, there is also half a boatload of gold and silver.
Except for those distributed to other crew members, the rest of Zheng Jun was given to her as a gift. Looking at the gift list, Minning felt that these would be of great use in the hands of the emperor. As for the gold and silver inside, they should be for the emperor. She does not lack this point, just to let the emperor see the wealth of America.
I heard that the emperor has been very tight recently, because he purchased a large amount of cement to take advantage of the dry season to rush to repair the river.
Minning casually handed over the gift slip, Fourth Master glanced at her before taking it, and after a few glances, he put the gift slip back in his arms.
I didn't expect that besides the few grain seeds that came in, there were so many unheard of seeds.
It is not yet known whether these seeds can adapt to the climate of the Qing Dynasty, but it does not matter, hardworking farmers will let these seeds multiply on this land.
Zheng Jun returned to the capital on the third day, and it was Yamon who came back with him. Over the years, he taught many people to speak Chinese, and only Yamon learned the best. Although his tone is a bit strange, it did not delay him. Talk to people.
Zheng Jun shaved off his hair and beard before returning to the land, and now it seems that he is not much different from other people except for the vicissitudes of life.
When Zheng Jun returned to the capital, he was not in a hurry to meet his master, but went back to his hometown to kowtow to his mother whom he hadn't seen for several years.
Widow Li cried, hugged her son, and thumped his shoulder, "You son of a bitch, why haven't you heard from me for so long? I thought I'd never see you again until I die! Your father is only you, the only child, if You are gone, how can I be worthy of your father when I go down?"
With tears in his eyes, Zheng Jun couldn't help saying to Widow Li, "Mother, it's my fault. Everything is my fault. It's because my son is unfilial and didn't come back sooner."
Widow Li also cried in her arms and said, "Mother knows that you are a person who does great things, so she won't stop you, but you have to leave a queen for the family." At this point, she wiped her tears and said to Zheng Jun, "Mother, look I have won a daughter-in-law, and I will beg you later, you have to listen to me this time, if you don’t give me a grandson, you will not be allowed to leave home.”
Zheng Jun looked at his mother's graying hair, and nodded sadly, "Mother, I listen to you, whoever you fancy, my son will marry you back."
After hearing the promise, Widow Li immediately got up with a smile, "You said this, and you are not allowed to backtrack on what you said later. The girl I fancy is really a capable person, and I promise to suit your wishes..."
Zheng Jun forced his lips into a smile, and at this moment there was a knock on the door outside.
"Mom, I'll talk about this later, I'll open the door first."
After Zheng Jun opened the door, he found a stranger outside, and immediately showed vigilance.
Widow Li, who came later, saw the person coming, and immediately pushed her son's arm away and greeted with a smile, "So it's Eunuch Liu, I don't know what's the matter here?"
Then he introduced it to his son, "This one is Eunuch Liu from the palace. He has taken good care of me in the past few years."
As soon as Zheng Jun returned to Beijing, he knew that Lord Belle was already a prince, although he knew which palace the palace he talked about in recent years referred to.
Thank you immediately, "Thank you, father-in-law, for taking care of my mother for so many years."
Eunuch Liu shook his head with a smile and said, "Master Zheng, don't be polite. All this is the master's account. If you do things for the master, the master will naturally take good care of your home."
Zheng Jun waved his hand, "It's not worth calling me Mr. Zheng, just call me Zheng Jun."
Eunuch Liu raised his hand to stop him, "You're welcome, that's what I call Master Lin next door."
Now here Zheng Jun did not continue to refuse, but asked: "I don't know why you are here this time?"
"Master said, later, Lord Long Live may summon you and the one you brought back, and please follow me to Changchun Garden to wait."
Zheng Jun knew about the face saint a long time ago, and he even knew that the few carts he brought today had passed through the imperial city and presented them to the emperor.
Originally, I thought that at least one day would be enough, but I didn't expect that the emperor might summon him as soon as he entered Beijing.
Zheng Jun looked at the room next to him, where Yamon was placed by him. Thinking like this, Zheng Jun said to Eunuch Liu, "Please wait a moment, Eunuch, I will change clothes and go with my companion."
Eunuch Liu didn't make things difficult for him either, but he knew that this one, like Lin Yuan, was a confidant of Fang Fujin, thinking of this, Eunuch Liu put a smile on his face, "No hurry, there is still a little time, Zheng Your Excellency can take care of you first."
Although Eunuch Liu said so, Zheng Jun dared not delay.
Soon, he changed his clothes and brought Amon out.
Although Yamon's facial features are somewhat similar to Daqing's, he can still tell the difference, but in general, compared with those foreigners who are regarded as monsters by ordinary people, he is more acceptable to Daqing.
The carriage had already stopped outside the door. Zheng Jun took Yamon into the carriage, and Eunuch Liu also sat on it. The driver outside flicked his whip, and the carriage started to run briskly.
The main road in the capital city was replaced with a concrete road last year. No matter it was cloudy or rainy, the muddy and bad roads were bid farewell, and the horse-drawn carriage ran briskly on it and could be easily driven.
Out of the imperial city all the way to the north, it only took more than an hour to arrive at Changchun Garden.
Zheng Jun felt that he had come early, because the carriages and goods he had brought back were all blocked at the gate of Changchun Garden and hadn't been pulled in yet.
Eunuch Liu naturally did not have the qualifications to enter Changchun Garden, so he took the two of them to the waiting place in Changchun Garden and sat down first.
If the emperor summoned him later, someone would naturally sing his name.
Fourth master had already come to the emperor's side, and presented the gift list and the letter together.
The emperor read the letter carefully first, "It seems that the land on the other side of the sea is really big." Then he shook the letter and asked the fourth master, "Fourth, do you think that land is really bigger than my Qing Dynasty? ?” The emperor didn’t believe that the continent was three times bigger than the Qing Dynasty, thinking it was just an exaggeration.
The fourth master replied with a deep groan, "I think, whether it's true or not, it's no less than Daqing."
No emperor could bear the temptation to open up territories, but this continent was too far away from the Qing Dynasty, it was like a chicken rib, it was tasteless to eat, and it was a pity to discard it.
Even if the Qing Dynasty sends troops to occupy it, if there is a rebellion later, there is no way to fight back, after all, it is not the land of the Central Plains.
The emperor was thinking about whether to send troops to occupy that piece of land, and then asked fourth master what he thought.
"My son thinks it's optional."
The emperor didn't like to hear such ambiguous statements, but since it was the fourth son's statement, the emperor was willing to listen to him continue.
The fourth master thought for a while before answering, "Occupying will cause friction with foreigners, and even cause war. The advantage is that this land is not only far away from us, but also from foreigners. Our disadvantages are the same as foreigners. If this is occupation, even if there is a war, it is far away from the Middle Earth.”
The emperor nodded, then knocked on the table and asked him, "What if we don't occupy it?"
"If you don't occupy it, then secretly support the local natives to fight against the foreigners. At that time, the merchant ships of the Qing Dynasty can sail to the New World, send more immigrants, and quietly eat away part of the land."
The emperor was not satisfied with the last statement, the effect was too slow, and the result might not be seen in his lifetime.
After much deliberation, the emperor was unwilling to give up this piece of fat to foreigners, so he decided that the two would be difficult.
The emperor put his heart down, looked at another gift list, saw many unfamiliar seed names on it and asked, "Are these brought from America?"
"Yes, many of them are used by the local natives for food. Zheng Jun also has a heart. He noticed that the origin of sweet potatoes and corn is there, so he wanted to bring back some good varieties."
The emperor nodded, "This man has a heart. He cares about the people of the Qing Dynasty. After these seeds are delivered, let Huangzhuang plant them first. After finding out the purpose, they will be pushed into the people."
"Khan Ama is wise."
Over there, Liang Jiugong had already counted the things in the warehouse and reported it to the emperor. The emperor asked him to bring all the seeds and the like to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so that the old farmer of Zhuangzi under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could find the seeds.
After Liang Jiugong's impression, the emperor remembered what the fourth child said just now: "Go and call that one." He said and looked at the fourth master.
Fourth Master bent over and replied, "It's Zheng Jun."
The emperor nodded and continued to say to Liang Jiugong, "Have you heard that, bring this person here."
After Liang Jiugong agreed, he hurried out.
The emperor is also interested in what Zheng Jun said about the Yin people, especially since he still has evidence to prove it.
After Zheng Jun came, he told the emperor what he had seen and heard in America, and told the story of his adventures so that people would be on the scene.
The emperor was also interested, especially when he said that a bronze tripod and scattered tortoise shells were found in an ancient tomb.
The emperor's eyes lit up. Could it be that the bronze tripod is the Jiuding that was lost as early as the pre-Qin period?
Although it is not like in ancient times, Jiuding is needed to prove the divine grant of the emperor, but if Jiuding is in his hands, it is tantamount to telling the world that his position as emperor is recognized by God.
The emperor, who had previously held a dispensable attitude towards the New World, immediately regained his spirits and asked Zheng Jun to describe the sphere of influence of the New World in detail.
Although they were all foreigners, they were divided into several countries. Even if the emperor wanted to send someone to bring the tripod back, he had to figure out the sphere of influence of those foreigners first.
Then he became a little annoyed. It seemed that foreigners still had a lot to guard against him. In the past, they only paid tribute to some unusable chime bells and firearms, and never leaked any news about the New World.
That was not a day and a half, but hundreds of years. Thinking that even the previous court was also kept secret by foreigners, the embarrassment in the emperor's heart immediately subsided.
We can't blame him for being concealed, we can only blame the foreigners for being too cunning.
In March, it was really lively.
As more and more people choose to go to sea, the emperor also joins in the fun and plans to send a boat to the New World.
As soon as the emperor sent someone, Minning became nervous, and even the fourth master found out that something was wrong with her.
Fortunately, Minning was able to prevaricate in time.
Taking this opportunity to say that he missed his son, he also got a chance to reply.
Because Yuan Bao still had to study in the academy, he did not accompany him to the Old Summer Palace.
Minning kept Biying to take care of him.
As soon as she returned to the mansion, she immediately sent someone to call Lin Yuan over. This is not Zheng Jun, but it was because Minning was afraid that the emperor would arrange someone beside Zheng Jun. During this period of time, let him take good care of his mother at home. Time led the emperor's fleet to retrieve the tripod.
Yes, Minning already knew about this, and she knew even more that this tripod was not an imitation tripod from the Zhou Dynasty, but probably the Jiuding tripod cast by Dayu to control the water.
Of course, it is true or not, and even if it is brought back, I don’t know, but the emperor said that it is it, unless the technology is developed enough to test how old the tripod is.
As soon as Lin Yuan came over, Minning immediately told him, "Immediately pass down the order, and all the firearms will be changed to look like foreigners."
Lin Yuan was a little hesitant, "But the weapons of foreigners are a bit backward." Changing his advanced firearms into firearms of foreigners is completely a waste of food because of choking.
Minning immediately said, "Change it now, change it immediately, Lord Long Live is going to send his henchmen to America, our firearms can't be found, we can only use the excuse that we bought them from foreigners."
Lin Yuan immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, thought for a while, and suggested to Minning, "Here, we can buy a batch from foreigners first and mix it in."
Minning thought for a while, and thought that this method would work, and then said, "Well, you should make arrangements as soon as possible, and make sure those people sent over don't find the firearms on other merchant ships before they dock. Put up the firearms for sale. When these people enter the mainland, they will have friction with foreigners, and then provide us with more advanced firearms, saying that they bought them from foreigners. If they have doubts, they will directly bring the problem to Over there with the foreigners." At worst, they would dedicate all the junk to the emperor, and keep the good things for themselves, and let the foreigners take the blame.
It just happened to let the emperor see that he had discarded firearms and was not allowed to use them any more, but all the foreigners had replaced them with firearms, and swords and guns could not resist firearms.How do you fight against foreigners in the future?
Lin Yuan nodded solemnly, "Yes, this subordinate will do it now."
Minning thought again that Zheng Jun was planning to make another trip to America to bring rubber trees, an urgently needed species, first. Unexpectedly, this person was called by the emperor to lead the way.
What a waste, Minning couldn't help but shook his head, and finally explained to Lin Yuan, "I will send a large group of people to America with Zheng Jun. He has stayed in America for a long time, and he probably knows where some things are. In this way, we Write down everything you need, and you bring it to Zheng Jun, and ask him to help collect some of them and send them back as soon as possible, and the research institutes in various places should also be upgraded."
Lin Yuan kept his mouth shut. He was no longer surprised that his master seemed to know America very well. He thought she knew it from foreigners. After all, this master likes to collect books about foreigners. It is very likely that she said she was looking for them. Things that foreigners have but have not been passed on to the Qing Dynasty.
After thinking about it, it seems that this is all. Minning first described the general appearance of the rubber tree, then thought hard about a few things, and finally even included strawberries and tomatoes.
Well, the last two are to satisfy the desire of the tongue, neither strawberries nor tomatoes can be found in the Qing Dynasty.
There are still records of tomatoes in the Ming Dynasty, but it is a pity that they have been used as ornamentals, and it is not known whether they have died, and they have not been found.
Minning had no choice but to send someone to America to search for it again. When he thought of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Minning couldn't help but drool.
I didn't feel like eating too much before, but since I thought about it when I was pregnant, I have been thinking about it.
Well, she is not here to satisfy her appetite. Tomatoes have a high yield and can also be eaten as food.
Swallowing his saliva, Minning said, "All the grains that Zheng Jun brought back are dedicated to Long Live Lord, so we have to find them ourselves. If we don't have enough people, we can recruit local aborigines to help find them. Don't be like foreigners. Similarly, if we have friction with the natives, let's try to be kind and don't show hostility."
Lin Yuan nodded, "This subordinate will explain first."
Minning continued: "After getting the seeds, send them to the south of the Yangtze River immediately, and let Zheng Jun abduct a few aboriginals who can plant these seeds back. Remember to inoculate them with vaccinia after landing. These aboriginals grow in different environments and are easily infected. Smallpox, they are not as easy to resist as ours."
After explaining everything that needs to be explained, Min Ning really couldn't figure it out, so he let Lin Yuan back down.
She loves to worry like this. In fact, her subordinates have already been trained. After suffering enough losses once or twice, she can always learn to consider things thoroughly. However, Minning is always afraid that something will go wrong, so she has made up all the problems in advance.
It seems that she still has something to learn. The higher-ups only issue orders, not solve things. These ways of thinking and loopholes should be filled in by the people below.
Minning felt that the stall in his hands was getting bigger and bigger, and gradually he couldn't bear it. He thought that he would not be able to eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he should change his thinking, and planned to slowly hand over the matter to the people below.
It's time to set up a company and divide all the stalls, so that the chaos in the industry should end.
"Cian Fujin, there are official media coming to the door." A maid standing by the door whispered.
Minning was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, he stared at the little maid with wide eyes. "What? Official media?"
Where did the official media come from, why did they come to the palace?
She then asked again, "Are you looking for me? Or Fujin?"
"Back to Fujin, the official media said they were looking for you." Minning was really surprised now. Few people knew about her return home. Where did the official media come to block her?
Minning also showed interest and said, "Then ask someone to come in, just to see who is the matchmaker for you."
The children are still young, so they would definitely not be matchmakers for the children in the mansion, not to mention that the children in the mansion are all grandchildren of the emperor, and those official matchmakers are not qualified and have the courage to come to the door.
In this way, it is very likely that it is for the servant girl in the house, and he specifically said that he came to find her, so it is very likely that it is the servant girl beside her.
who can that be?
Minning kept guessing in his heart.
Minning did not invite the official media to the inner court, but met her directly in the outer court.
The official media dress is decent, not like the folk drama said there is a mole above the mouth, she is an ordinary woman who is an ordinary student, at most the clothes on her body are better than those worn by ordinary people, The hair is smeared with osmanthus oil and combed meticulously.
As soon as a group of people entered the room, the official media immediately stood up and saluted, "I have seen the side Fujin, and the side Fujin is auspicious and healthy."
Min Ning, who was surrounded by the crowd, raised her hand to make people stand up, then walked to the front and sat down, beside her, Biying Molan and several maids who often served her stood on both sides of her.
Biying took the teacup from the little maid and tried it on the back of her hand before putting it in front of Minning. Minning picked up the teacup and took a sip before asking.
"I don't know how to call this matchmaker?"
"My husband's family name is Zhu, and others call my slave's sister Zhu. This time, I was entrusted by someone to come here to say goodbye to the maid next to Fujin." Sister Zhu said respectfully.
This is a maid in the palace, even more honorable than the young ladies of other families, not to mention the big maids around side Fujin, they are all raised as young ladies.
Minning glanced at the people around him, and then asked Mrs. Zhu, "Which one of the people around me are you talking about?"
