As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

To do so is actually cheating. After all, Hua Manlou is fully responsible for the navy. Emperor Guangxing wanted the result of the navy. As long as there is a strong navy that can fight Japanese pirates, then other Everything is negotiable.

Secondly, Emperor Guangxing didn't have to pay for the shipping at all, but he was the one who made the most of the profits, so it would be hard for him to take the money and blame the whole building, right?As for the money paid by the nobles, this part can be regarded as the capital raised by Huamanlou in the name of Xishan-it is fully responsible, no matter how it is managed, it is for His Majesty's navy, isn't it?

Thirdly, Huamanlou's age showed its benefits at this time, young people, how could they take care of everything?Although he was a little edgy in his work, he had a heart for His Majesty, and he did not do bad things—at least he had a navy, didn't he?

In short, when the time comes, the purpose of killing it with one bite is to make the navy stronger, and the other details are not considered.

Moreover, when Huamanlou was doing things before, he didn’t have the habit of asking for instructions early and reporting late. For example, the hot air balloons flew close to the Meridian Gate until Emperor Guangxing knew about this. Yes, you can't blame Huamanlou for being silent, can you?

So, how many of them are fuel-efficient lamps that can thrive in court?

……

Capital.

The return of Uncle Huai'an really made Emperor Guangxing perform a wave of what is called Longyan Joy.

In the early morning, Bo Huai'an carefully disclosed a series of micro-manipulations on the grassland after this mission. Amidst the real or fake air-conditioning of a group of people, Emperor Guangxing stood up and said with a smile: " God bless Zhao, from now on the grassland will no longer be a thorn in my flesh and a thorn in my side!"

A group of people quickly knelt down: "The ministers congratulate His Majesty, and congratulate Great Zhao!"

After Emperor Guangxing asked everyone to get up, someone stood up and said: "Your Majesty, although the Tatars are seriously injured this time, they may have such a time, but they will be able to recover within ten years. Your Majesty must pay attention. Therefore, I think that we should cut the weeds and root out as soon as possible, so as to avoid future troubles."

This is the hawks jumping out again. This group of people always wants to destroy the country and exterminate the species. It can be described as...

Incomparably vicious?

"Where to cut it from?" Someone came out to retort: ​​"Mobei is so big, and the grassland people live by water and grass. According to your opinion, how many people does Da Zhao need to send to the grassland to exterminate the Tatars? One hundred thousand or twenty thousand Ten thousand? How long will it take for the army to conquer, and how much money and food will it take?"

This is a pragmatic argument. After all, there is no money in the court, so no matter how you want to fight, it depends on the actual situation, right?

So someone came out again: "Extremely. Now the chieftains in the southwest are about to move, and the pirates in the southeast are rampant. If you don't take this opportunity to calm these two troubles, I'm afraid..."

Things went back to the debate that morning, and many people rolled up their sleeves and planned to argue again.

A few days ago, Emperor Guangxing didn't say a word about this, but today he interrupted everyone's conversation. He smiled and looked at Uncle Huai'an and said, "Hua Aiqing, you went to the grassland in person this time. A unique opinion, right?"

Hearing the emperor's voice, the hall was suddenly silent, and Qi Qi turned his gaze to Uncle Huai'an.

"Your Majesty, I believe that although the prairie people have to be guarded against, the gains may outweigh the losses by attacking them." Uncle Huai'an did not refute it at all, and directly stated the conclusion.

In fact, after he came back yesterday, he knew something from Xu Dacheng, so apart from reporting on his duties, most of his work this morning was to cooperate with Emperor Guangxing. After knowing his purpose, how could Uncle Huai An not know how to speak?

"Oh? How can you see it?"

"Your Majesty, Tuotuo is not going to die today. Although the Tatars have no masters and are in chaos, and some tribes have defected to Zhao, fundamentally speaking, the Tatars are not hurt." Uncle Huai'an said slowly: "Wei Wei Before the minister came back, he received a report that the three sons of Tuotuobuhua had ceased fighting, and most tribes were watching the situation at this time, so the Tatars were far from being completely chaotic. If Da Zhao sent troops to the grassland at this time, Then whether these tribes are willing or not, they will unite to resist the attack."

"I know." Emperor Guangxing said again: "Then according to your opinion, Da Zhao will not do anything?"

Uncle Huai'an said: "That's not the case. Your Majesty, although the grassland has temporarily fallen into calm, the Tatars will not have much patience. If Da Zhao keeps his face, then they will definitely fight themselves in order to stand on their own feet." .In this way, if we don't judge each other, I'm afraid the grassland will continue to be chaotic."

Someone stood up and asked: "It's not necessarily that the chaos will continue, right? If a hero who is as flamboyant as a man emerges from nowhere and dominates the Tartars, they will make a comeback again in a short time..."

"Then at this time, Da Zhao makes a move to secretly support a group of tribes?" Uncle Huai'an interrupted him unceremoniously: "I said that Da Zhao should not attack, not that he doesn't care about the grassland, but Adhering to the idea of ​​this mission, using all means to keep internal friction, isn't this more labor-saving than attacking? When it is exhausted, Da Zhao only needs a partial division to kill it, but at that time , are the prairie people still a problem in Da Zhao's heart?"

The man was so stunned that he was speechless, so he had no choice but to back away embarrassingly.

Emperor Guangxing smiled at this time: "So you mean that the strategy for the grassland in the future will be the same as this strategy, just let it continue to consume?"

Uncle Huai'an said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Guangxing smiled and said, "I know."

By this time, everyone understood that the merits of this part of the grassland had already been divided up, and there was not even a mouthful left, so no matter whether it was the main combat faction, the pragmatic faction or other factions, there was no way to get in. Besides Uncle Huai'an, who else can take care of this?

I have to say that everyone's debate these days is for this part of the credit, but now...

A group of people looked at Uncle Huai'an, feeling sour in their hearts: luck can't be helped, how could he take away such a great contribution?Next, it's time to talk about meritorious deeds, right?

At this time, Emperor Guangxing said with a smile: "Uncle Huai'an certainly deserved the credit for getting Tatar into such a situation this time, but if it's the first credit, I think it should be the one who offered his kindness. Ladies and gentlemen Do you know, Ai Qing, who came up with this idea?"

The ministers' hearts moved: Yes, it seems that this matter has never been mentioned in the court. I thought it was His Majesty's idea, but now it looks like someone else?

Well, no matter who it is, the credit must be given to him, and Uncle Huai'an cannot be full alone!

A group of people are gearing up and planning to sing praises.

275. Ready for nothing?

As I said earlier, before Uncle Huai'an sent back the news, most of the courtiers thought it was just an ordinary mission, and its purpose was nothing more than to demand war indemnity. Who would have thought that it was premeditated?

I have to say that when Emperor Guangxing mentioned the mission last year, many people avoided it. After all, no one knew that the envoy was going to do such a big thing, and even before the dust settled, the news was blocked. That's it, so now that such a great achievement has suddenly appeared, those who were afraid that they would be sent to the grassland at the beginning can be said to regret it.

It is comparable to the credit of opening up the territory, whether it is a scholar or a general, who doesn't want this kind of great credit?

Therefore, it can be heard that someone else has the idea, Huai Anbo is just an errand, and a group of civil servants who are sour into lemon juice suddenly cheered up: The person who came up with the idea...he can't be a nobleman, can he?

In the eyes of civil servants, the group of military officers and nobles are either vulgar or full of fat. How can they be as intelligent as literati?Such brilliant strategies must not be mastered by warriors—they know the tricks of a chicken, so the civil servants must be the ones who came up with the idea!

So what are you waiting for, let's start by boasting and saying, shouldn't it be enough to transfer the credit?

So a group of people immediately came out of class and boasted fiercely——If His Majesty said his name, everyone wouldn't be too exaggerated, right?

All of a sudden, there was a flood of flattery, even words like 'Jingtianweidi' and 'Jingwei Tianxia' were used.

Emperor Guangxing listened cheerfully for a long while, and waited for everyone to stop before he said with a smile: "When this person offered advice, he once boldly said that Tatars and Wala are both native chickens and dogs, and he also said that he wanted to turn the vast grassland into a land of earth. Before that, I thought he was bragging, but I never thought that Tatar really became a chicken and a dog in less than half a year. When I used him, I thought it was a high opinion of him, but I never thought about it. He underestimated it!"

Ying Guogong stood up as if he was laughing, and asked with wide eyes, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, who came up with this idea?"

After selling Guanzi for a long time, Emperor Guangxing had had enough fun, so he said with a smile: "This person is Xuanwu Wei Xishan Qianhu, and the building is full of flowers."

After Emperor Guangxing finished speaking, everyone thought they had heard it wrong, but then the old man Ying Guogong immediately began to praise: "Heroic boy! Your Majesty, when Fanhuamanlou was in charge of Zhentianlei in Shenji Camp, my humble servant I thought he could become a great weapon, but today I saw that it turned out to be true! Congratulations to His Majesty for sending out talents from abroad!"

With such an exaggerated expression, those who didn’t know Huamanlou thought that Huamanlou was his son. Many people couldn’t help but want to twitch, especially a certain uncle—although the son-in-law is also half, but I haven’t gone to you Yingguogong yet. What about marriage proposals, are you so sure that I will go?

Ying Guogong's words were not as nasty as what the civil officials said just now, but it brought many people back to their senses: Huamanlou?What is this vertical stick?

A group of civil servants were in mourning for a moment: They boasted for a long time, thinking that they had hit Uncle Huai'an, but they never thought that they hadn't even broken his defenses... No wonder this guy didn't react at all!

Among them, Pu Jishizhong, who used to be an "undercover beggar gang", and Meng Jishizhong, an old man who looks like a sweet potato seller, are in a more complicated mood, because they were beaten in the face by Huamanlou before. Even Bo Huai'an and the others hated each other, so when they praised the person who gave advice, they praised the most disgustingly, but in the end...

The two were so depressed that they wanted to vomit blood.

And just now when the civil officials boasted that the building was full of flowers, all the honorable generals were cold-faced. After all, they knew that they were no match for this group of vicious civil officials when it came to offering advice and suggestions.

But when Emperor Guangxing threw out the answer, and saw Ying Guogong's unremarkable praise, this group of people also reacted: Huamanlou?It really gives us honorable faces!

Praise, praise me all!

All of a sudden, Huamanlou actually achieved acclaimed achievements. This incident was in stark contrast to the impeachment of Mandian some time ago. It was simply the biggest black humor of Guangxing Dynasty.

After waiting for the nobles to praise enough, Emperor Guangxing smiled and said: "The so-called ambition is not based on age. Over the past half a year since I entered the court, I have done a lot of things for me. The most commendable thing is He defeated the arrogance of Tatar and Wala successively, and offered advice to make Tatar fall into the current situation, I am very pleased."

"Such a young man who is less than a weak crown can make such a great contribution for me, and he can also turn the bold words he let go into reality. My dear friends, how can I not reward this young man well? Therefore, , I have decided to bestow Flower Manlou on Uncle Xi Shan!"

Immediately knighted!

Emperor Guangxing's words made many people stunned: the title... just got it like this?

Da Zhao was awarded a title and stingy. Since the founding of the country, few military generals have been able to receive a title. After all, the title is obtained by military merit.But now Dazhao is mostly peaceful, and the Japanese pirates in the southeast... are just Japanese pirates. In the eyes of most people, these guys are no different from rogue bandits, while the north side has always been on the "strategic defense". It has killed hundreds of people for decades. If he won a big victory, how could he be awarded a title because of this little credit?

So now it's really been a long time, and I can actually meet someone who was knighted for his merits!

Some people raised their eyebrows on the spot and wanted to refute. After all, being knighted is not a good thing-you have to be treated if you are given a title. There are many idlers!

Moreover, the knighthood is after all based on military merit, Hua Manlou has never even been on a serious battlefield, so how can he be knighted because of this?

What's more, his father is already Uncle Huai'an, what is this, a double noble?Do you want to be so prominent!

only……

The so-called good fighters have no great achievements, let alone tossing the Tatars to this situation. Now Da Zhao can even move to the north of Erren and Hetao. Manlou is considered to expand its territory.

It's all about expanding the territory, isn't it too much for you not to give a title?Maybe some people will say that Emperor Guangxing is mean and ungrateful!

In addition, just now everyone praised Huamanlou like Guan Zhongsheng, and Kong Ming is alive, so now it is time to reward people for their merits and deeds, but they jumped out to oppose it, isn't this self-defeating?

You know, Kong Ming and Liu Bei were still peasants before, and they almost became second in command when they came out of the mountain. It seems that there is no problem in giving Huamanlou an earl, right?

The civil servants wanted to vomit blood: Is the clown actually me?

Even the daily naysayers were silent at this moment, and each of them huddled in the corner like a plague-headed chicken, almost suffocating internal injuries.

Even Emperor Guangxing himself didn't expect that it was just for fun, but who would have thought that things would go so smoothly!

You know, even before the early court, he had prepared a number of reasons such as 'reducing talents in an eclectic manner', but now it seems...

White ready?

276. Your own product

Given the title, will it be difficult to run a school?

In fact, after Emperor Guangxing threw out the purpose of building the school, there was no splash at all, because no one cared about it anymore.

The civil servants don't care what Huamanlou is tossing about in Xishan, after all, "only reading is good", how can scholars care about firearms, smelting, medicine, farming and other things?And most of them don't even care much about whether Huamanlou will let people from Xishan come to take the imperial examination-hey, is this something that ordinary people can play?

It's not that civil servants underestimate Huamanlou, but every scholar knows how difficult it is to pass the exam, so big...

Let's put it this way, in the third year of Xianfeng, the imperial court approved a 20.00% increase in the number of students in each prefecture. How much did you pay?One thousand seventeen.

This is just for juren, although juren is already considered a reserve official, but if you want to be an official, you have to take part in the general examination and palace examination with the previous juren. The elimination ratios are [-] to [-] and [-] to [-] respectively. Only the winners of the gold list are left...

Well, there are quite a few anyway.

The admission rate is so small, and it is not uncommon to see people who are still a scholar for a lifetime. For example, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was a man named Huang Zhang who was admitted as a scholar when he was nearly 83 years old. He became a tribute student at the age of 38. Taking care of you all the way, this is a typical example of living to the old age and learning... until the old age in the exam - the 38-year-old is a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, the [-]-year-old is a tribute student of the Qing Dynasty, and the [-]-year-old provincial exam is the [-]th year of Kangxi , This study process stunned Apocalypse, Chongzhen, sent away Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, Dorgon, Shunzhi, until the [-]th year of Kangxi, and still didn't pass the exam...

So, as long as you don't pass the exam, who cares if you spend all your time playing around with heresies?

Even if some insightful people understand that firearms can raise Zhao's military strength by more than one level, and the implementation and popularization of new smelting can also enhance national strength, but no matter how capable you are, don't you still want to be led by civil officials?

Therefore, when Emperor Guangxing raised this matter, the civil servants lacked interest and were not even in the mood to refute.

Can you be in the mood?Today's early court has completely turned into the Hua family's meritorious service meeting. After the father tossed about on the grassland, he was transferred from the third-rank Jingwei Commander Si Ping to the Xuanwu Wei South Town Fusi Commander Tongzhi, but his power was more than doubled. He was also awarded the honor of the third-rank captain of the Qingche; his son directly took the title of earl, this double title is extremely prominent...

What are the benefits of a double title?

The advantage is that if Huamanlou has two sons, one can inherit his grandfather's title of Earl of Huai'an, and the other can inherit his father's title of Earl of Xishan. real thoughts.

But now the son is not there yet, should we hold on tighter?

Hua Manlou cast her resentful eyes on Wan Cheng Yanran, but Miss Baimao didn't care about him at all at this time, she only cared about treating those young soldiers who didn't even dare to look at her and were blushing with embarrassment...

The doctor is benevolent, in the eyes of Wan Cheng Yanran, most of these young soldiers are wounded, and what she has to deal with is only wounds; but for the young soldiers, this beautiful and outrageous young lady is first the newly released Mrs. Xishanbo, Then there is the doctor, so none of them have any place to rest their nervous hands, and because they have to check some wounds on their bodies, these pure and good boys are all twisted like little daughter-in-laws, it can be said...

Lost Xi Shanwei's face?

In short, if Hua Manlou hadn't been watching here, I'm afraid this group of people would have run away long ago.

Hua Manlou sighed, and said to Xu Dacheng who came to announce the decree again: "Leave aside the title, what does Your Majesty want me to open an academy for? I'm so busy that I'm about to stick my tongue out!"

Xu Dacheng looked around and saw that no one was paying attention here, so he said in a low voice: "My uncle, you can't even guess this? Your Majesty sent His Highness the Crown Prince here to let him have fun, right?"

Hua Manlou clicked his tongue and said, "I don't want him to play... Is it okay to lock him up in the East Palace? Do I dare to take care of him here?"

Xu Dacheng squinted his eyes and said: "As far as our family is concerned, His Majesty is completely disgusted with Zhan Shifu, and he is not worried that they will continue to teach His Highness, and His Highness only wants to learn when he is with Uncle... Oh yes, learn from that The principle of gewu, in this way, it is logical to give His Highness an environment where he can study with peace of mind."

Hua Manlou's eyes widened: "In order for him to study, do you want to set up a school?"

The emperor is the emperor, this handwriting...

Anyway, Huamanlou dare not think about it.

Although it was not mentioned in the imperial decree, Xu Dacheng had just told him that Emperor Guangxing meant to put all the money from selling stoves and farm tools into this school, and follow this example in the future—— This is not a small amount of money, because although the stove is inconspicuous, but after selling fire in the capital last year, merchants from other places came to ask questions just after the New Year, and the orders were all booked until autumn...

"... By the way, do you think it's appropriate for His Royal Highness to learn firearms in Xishan?" After being shocked for a while, Hua Manlou's thoughts returned to normal.

Xu Dacheng pursed his lips, and said slowly: "Whether it fits or not, our family's decision doesn't matter, His Majesty's will."

The old eunuch folded his arms, habitually bent his body, looked at Zhao Ren who was giggling and helping Wan Qiyan clean up the wounds of the young soldiers, and then said: "However... our family has been in the palace for more than forty years. When the first emperor was in power, our family was with His Majesty, and we also read a lot of books with His Majesty. In the past, when Your Majesty said that reading is useful, our family thought it was useful, and our family did what His Majesty said. ,Can……"

After a pause, he glanced around furtively again, and then said: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, our family has also risen to become the Supervisor of Ceremonies, with the right to approve reds. Have you seen the papers sent by the courtiers for ten thousand?" There are also [-]. But our family has always had a question. Are the words of the saints that we have read really useful for governing the country? Is it because our family has not read through the books, or are those words meant for others to read? There are other rules for governing the country?"

"Let's not talk about it, let's just talk about Tatars. Manchurian courts talk about civil and military affairs, but they can't come up with a little idea, but what about your Uncle Hua? Purdue for a while, push for grace for a while, and you will make everyone in less than half a year. Zhao is less troubled by the couch, and our family has never seen this ability in the sage books."

"So our family feels more and more that a saint belongs to a saint, and a skill belongs to a skill. The words of a saint are good, but the words of a saint can't be exchanged for the great victory of Datong, nor can they be exchanged for Oala's surrender, nor can they be exchanged for those who fill their stomachs. Food and vain money, but everyone wants the latter two! If you think about it this way, instead of learning from those nerds, Your Highness might as well learn from Uncle, right?"

"My uncle keeps this Xishan in an orderly manner. Everyone can eat enough, and there are silver flowers. Here, there are doctors to see the doctor, soldiers to guard, and the children in the school also have books to read. This...isn't it just not picking up things on the road, not closing the door at night, the old man Do you have something to rely on, and something to support your child?" Xu Dacheng pursed his lips again: "Your Majesty knows this, maybe His Majesty also wants to let the prince and uncle learn this kind of skill, but he can't learn it completely. Eight points can rule the country."

How can I say that Xu Dacheng is also the Inner Minister of the Great Zhao and the eunuch in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Although he has his faults, he also has his vision-after following Emperor Guangxing for so many years, how could he not have such a pattern?
