[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

Jiang Ling was silent for a moment.

How should she explain to Kangxi that one of them was from the notorious East India Company?How should I explain that the high-sounding reasons given by the envoys just now are generally malicious? ...That's all, what's more difficult is, how should I explain to Kangxi that apart from those envoys with malicious intentions, the remaining half are actually useful?

The generation gap of 300 years is really a bit big.

Jiang Ling glanced at the small ball of paper in Kangxi's hand. It was secretly written to him by Kangxi when he was receiving foreign envoys just now, but now it was crumpled and rubbed back and forth in a disorderly manner.She thought for a while, picked up the small ball of paper from Kangxi's hand, and spread it out in front of him. On the front, it said that Western countries have a parliamentary system, and every decision has to be voted by the parliament, which takes a long time. Can be used as an excuse.On the reverse side, it says, please ask the emperor, what did the envoy from the ancient Tianzhu Kingdom come for, because they have nothing to sell in their own country.She pinched the note, thought for a while, and then said softly: "I once heard a rumor."

It's hearsay, not some non-existent book.

Jiang Ling organized his wording a little bit, and continued: "There is a country whose navy is extremely powerful, can cross the sea and ocean, and the waterways of the world are unimpeded. But this country is very good at using trade as an excuse to plunder. They are in India. , that is, the ancient Tianzhu Kingdom, opened a business firm called the 'East India Company'..." It is quite difficult to put these things into words that Kangxi can understand.Jiang Ling could only figure out bit by bit, what was similar to the East India Company and Britain in Kangxi's era, and then slowly translated them to make them sound less awkward.

Kangxi stood in front of her half-bent, motionless, with deep eyes.

"...so one of them should be their subordinate." Jiang Ling continued, "In India now, there should be a group of people employed by the East India Company, and after a long period of subtle influence, they are very good at English. Yes, um, I just used other words when I met Sheng Sheng." She almost slipped her mouth, "Just now subconsciously used English", this sentence cannot be said out of the mouth. Otherwise, how should she explain to Kangxi that she is a lady from an official family who has lived in the boudoir for a long time, but she is proficient in foreign languages?Western missionaries are not so powerful.

Kangxi seemed to be lost in thought, and didn't notice her strange behavior just now.

Jiang Ling was a little relieved, pretending that he was not the one who changed the subject bluntly just now, and continued: "There are some others that I have seen in ancient books, and I can't remember them clearly now." If everything is just rumors, but The reliability will inevitably be a little lower. "To the west of Daqin (Rome), there are many small countries with an area of ​​less than a province, but their national strength is quite prosperous. And because of the coastal waters, the art of navigation is extremely developed, and they also love trade. I guess, among those people just now, the only Westerner is from one of the small countries."

Just now she guessed it was Portugal, firstly because of the similar pronunciation, and secondly because of the similar age.

But this conjecture cannot be made public.Because if it's just "from the book", it doesn't hurt.If it is a judgment made by oneself, it needs to be mixed with a lot of current affairs knowledge, which cannot be seen from the book.

Jiang Ling briefly mentioned the countries of Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Britain and France in the west, and also slightly mentioned the grievances between Britain and France, and incidentally mentioned the grievances between the two Holy Sees, especially the tsar's grievances with them. There is one source, but there are frequent contradictions.She didn't know how many useful things Kangxi could extract from these materials, but she always believed that the person in front of her and those in the court were basically all human beings, and what they lacked was just Information about the West.

If you make up for this knowledge, things will be very different from before.

Jiang Ling searched in his memory for a long time, and basically squeezed out all his poor memories. Unless he went back to the end of the world, he really couldn't squeeze out any of it, so he really stopped talking.Kangxi covered her hands, pressed the thin piece of paper into their palms, and said in a low voice: "So you guess, some of them harbor evil intentions?"

Jiang Ling suddenly hesitated.Will he restore the sea ban three years ago because of his words?

If the sea ban is really restored, then she may be finished...

"However, exchanging what is needed has great benefits. It is like picking chestnuts out of a fire. Although it is dangerous, if it is done properly, it will still have great benefits." He looked down at her, with a faint glow in his eyes, "So Guangzhou ten The three lines need to be kept, and Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Jiangnan provinces can also conduct business, but they need to be checked in detail to know whether there are any people with evil intentions among them. And in their hands, there are many useful things. It can also be passed in one by one, right?"

Jiang Ling blinked and said, "It should, it should be."

She thought for a while, and added: "But the distance between the east and the west is too far away. Those who intend to travel thousands of miles to come here are firstly ascetic monks among missionaries, and secondly, for the sake of gold and silver. The businessman on the waist, the third is a desperado. Does the emperor have a countermeasure in mind?" If you accidentally let some people with evil intentions in, it will be over.

Kangxi nodded slowly and said, "You are right."

Jiang Ling moved back a little, still looking at him.

Kangxi still maintained the posture just now, half-bent, thinking quietly, his eyes had long been cast to nowhere.Jiang Ling's words just now contain a lot of information, and it will take him a while to digest them.

Fortunately, Kangxi is now in his prime.

The two tsars of Russia were still young children, the vitality of Britain and France had not yet fully recovered, Spain and Portugal began to decline, and the East India Company had just begun to stretch out its tentacles.If it is done properly, it may not be impossible to get huge benefits.

But there were some things that Jiang Ling couldn't say directly, and some things, Jiang Ling couldn't remember clearly enough.

She stared at Kangxi for a while, and then she began to be in a trance. If she had known today, she should have majored in world history... While she was in a trance, she suddenly heard a low laugh. Kangxi bowed his head and kissed her forehead. She smiled beside her ear, "I'm distracted again."

A calm kiss, as natural as getting used to it.

Jiang Ling was startled, and suddenly realized that this posture was not appropriate, so she struggled lightly, and said softly, "Your Majesty."

Kangxi noticed her embarrassment, couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed her temples, and asked, "What's wrong?"

No, nothing.

Don't you think this pose is too weird?

Jiang Ling leaned back a little uncomfortably.Now most of her are shrunk into the chair, and Kangxi is half bent, leaning over and kissing her forehead delicately, this posture is simply, simply...

"Emperor, Your Majesty." She struggled lightly, "Isn't this a little bad?"

"Yeah." He said seriously, "It's not very good."

!!!

Want to screw him.

Jiang Ling turned her head away, and called out to the emperor, there was a kind of anger in her voice that she didn't even know.

Kangxi laughed softly, and the gloomy mood just now was swept away, and he hugged her by the waist, and at the same time before Jiang Ling screamed, he calmly said: "The outside is the court's Commander, as well as the guards and eunuchs who accompany you, as well as the Yangzhou officials who are here on business, do you want them to hear it?"

No, I don't want to.

q_q

Jiang Ling stopped the scream that had just rushed out of his mouth, and was carried out by Kangxi all the way, ignoring the general manager Liang who gasped outside, and the two little eunuchs who looked like ghosts behind him. The back door left quietly.There were two crackling sounds from behind, as if someone had been slapped on the back of the head by Manager Liang:

"Put away your ghostly looks, that is indeed the Lord Long Live. Hurry to the back and prepare the sedan chair, the Lord Long Live will go to the garden later. How do I know? Believe it or not, I will kick you and me... "

So Kangxi hugged her into the sedan chair with two ouches from behind, and pushed back the maid who came forward to serve her, and took the same sedan chair with her himself, and told them: "Go to the garden. It's getting late, There will be a banquet in a while." As he spoke, he turned to straighten Jiang Ling's temples and asked in a low voice, "How are you?"

He meant something.

Jiang Ling's face turned red, and he said in a somewhat hesitant voice, "It's, it's okay."

Although later generations don't mind this topic much, it is still a bit embarrassing to talk about it with a man.

Kangxi smiled gently again, and slightly opened the curtains on both sides of the sedan chair to let in some air.Jiang Ling was the only person sitting in the sedan chair just now, but now that another person was added, it seemed a little cramped.Jiang Ling was almost half sitting and half leaning against his arms. In front of his eyes were the intricate patterns on the dragon robe and a faint scent of incense, exactly the same as at noon today.

She was suddenly embarrassed again.

"Follow me to the garden later, and meet some ladies." Kangxi put one hand around Jiang Ling's waist, and the other gently stroked her back, and said slowly, "They are all merchants from Yangzhou. I met them earlier. I have met several times, this time I want to meet the old lady in their mansion, to explore and breathe. Just bear with me, huh?" The voice was still so calm and clear.But what he said was embarrassing and embarrassing.

Jiang Ling was so embarrassed, she turned her head away and asked in a low voice, "Is it the same as last night?"

Kangxi explained: "It's a little different from last night, but you can always make me feel relieved when you are there."

Jiang Ling was silent.

She really isn't an encyclopedia.
