Thousands of Li Rivers and Mountains, Fireworks and Fireworks in Qingchuan

The military parade was huge and spectacular.All those who participated were amazed by the armament and discipline of the Qing army. The military department was actively preparing, and all the horses and armor they were equipped with were carefully selected. its strength.At the same time, it also has far-reaching significance. The war stretching along the northwest frontier has finally come to an end. The Mongolian ministries do not have to be on guard against its invasion all the time, and the relationship with the Qing Dynasty will be more harmonious, which is beneficial to the stability of the country.

Yongxie invited Magarni as a guest, and it was also for such a scene to alert the confident British mission. A rich country without strength is like a wealth without a high wall. After this incident, it will somewhat act as a deterrent The role of fighting against a country with such an iron cavalry is definitely not something they can bear.

In the 50th year of Qianlong's reign, China's GNP accounted for 30.00% of the world's 20.00, while Europe as a whole only accounted for 50% of the world's [-]. There were ten cities with a population of more than [-] in the world, and six of them were in China.With such a situation, as long as there are no major policy mistakes and you don't close your eyes and ears, how can China be reduced to a situation where it is at the mercy of others.

Magarni was shocked by the exercise of the Qing army, and he was absent-minded about the celebration banquet attended later.He didn't expect... He has never seen such an exciting army. If he leads it in his hands, he has the confidence to build a second Roman Empire.But he is in the hands of another superpower, and he can only look at it with sighs and horror.

One of the main purposes of his visit this time was to hope that the two countries could establish business relations. Qianlong didn't think much of that small country, but under Xiao Si'er's persuasion, he agreed to let the British envoy contact the Thirteenth Bank.In order to monopolize and control foreign trade, the Qing court designated the Thirteen Banks of Guangdong merchants to specialize in foreign trade in the 50th year of Kangxi.The thirteenth bank is responsible for the collection of foreign taxes, the transaction of goods, and the management of foreign life.This time Qianlong opened his mouth, as long as he manages with his heart, the road to trade between the two countries will be promising.However, there will be fewer obstacles to the flow of Western technological achievements into China.

Westerners often use beef and mutton as a staple food. Is there so many cooking tricks in China? They only cook it grilled or fried.When one day I tasted Chinese tea, I couldn't put it down for this light and greasy drink, and the demand for tea was out of control.There are also many exquisite handicraft porcelain and silk brocade materials, which are rare and precious things in the eyes of foreigners. During this visit to Qing Dynasty, Magarni was repeatedly urged by the royal family and ministers to do whatever he wanted. He brought Many local gifts were paid as tribute, thinking that they could directly exchange some things back.Qianlong did indeed give him many things in return, among which were many wishful jades.Magartney didn't know the goods, so he couldn't see what value this pile of stones could have.

After hearing this, Yongxie smiled lightly: "We are a country that worships jade, and we pay attention to the gentleman's jade, and the villain is not even qualified to wear it. But jade is very precious, and the quantity is limited, not everyone can afford it. So the ancestors turned soil into jade, which is porcelain. That’s right, it’s the first page you asked to add to the transaction list—Porcelain. The earliest celadon and white porcelain were influenced by the shape of jade. Good porcelain must be It has the qualities of 'light as a mirror, thin as paper, warm as jade, and sound like a chime'. The value of jade in the Qing Dynasty is similar to your favorite gemstones, but because of different cultures and folk customs, there is no comparison." After listening to his words After explaining, Magarni belatedly put away those precious and precious things.

Yongxie came in from the outside, Wu Shulai was in front of the door, Yongxie glanced at him, which meant 'no need to report? Wu Shulai shook his head with a smile and opened the curtain to let him in.Yongxuan entered in lightly, Qianlong uncharacteristically did not process the memorial at the desk, but lay on his side on the bed holding a volume of books, and an empty bowl of ginger soup in his hand, which was taken away by the court lady.

Yong Xie stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter? Huang Ama is sick? Why didn't you announce the imperial physician?"

Qianlong beckoned him to sit on the edge of the bed, and said with a smile: "It's okay, but I didn't have a good rest last night. You went to the Ministry of War? Those old guys didn't make things difficult for you, did they?" Some people are very panic.

Hearing that he hadn't rested well, Yongcheng added in his mind, it couldn't be that one of his concubines dared to grab the quilt with the emperor, right?And he, Huang Ama, was obviously the one who lost.Seeing his strange expression, Qianlong knew that he was thinking wrong, and he coughed lightly to draw attention: "I caught a cold while reading, it's just a headache!"

So that's the case, Yongxuan let out an 'oh'.His Huang Ama's energy is somehow different from that of ordinary people. Sometimes he only sleeps for one or two hours a day, and he often reads books until he is refreshed. It's so abundant that it's amazing.

It was rare for Qianlong to make such a mistake, so he teased him in a hurry: "Now you know how important it is to combine work and rest, so you should go to bed on time. Besides, although the luminous pearl is good, it is not the sun after all. It has been used for a long time at night. Harmful to eyesight. You have to take care of your body!"

Qianlong was quite impatient, "Why did I give birth to such a wordy son? Seeing that you were born with the wrong gender, you should be a girl." What is commendable is that only this one will face him, dare to face him Wordy, it was this difference that made Qianlong treat him differently.If the emperor's jokes were heard by those ministers with goatees during the day, they would be so shocked that they would have to pull off their beards.

Yong Xie didn't want to argue with him, "If my son is a girl, no one will do errands for you." Seeing him frowning from time to time, she placed her index and middle fingers on his temples and pressed gently.Qianlong enjoyed his son's personal service, and did not forget to ask: "Can I gain anything in the Ministry of War?"

"Fortunately, I have a lot to learn." It's an understatement, but the Ministry of War is not an insignificant idler like Li Fanyuan.The water here is deep. Military and political affairs have always been divided up by several families who have been generals for many generations.Now, a very favored underage elder brother has been airborne, and he has to be careful to settle the elder brother, and to ensure that his own interests are not lost, the military department has already become a mess.

Qianlong said: "There is no need to rush to do anything. The military department is full of meritorious families in the Eight Banners. They are people with great insight. You just need to watch and learn from their handling methods, which will benefit you."

Yong Xun nodded in agreement, and took out a picture from his sleeve.Qianlong unfolded it and saw that there were several sketches of ship shapes. The power wheels were complex and huge, and the attack and defense functions were worthy of careful attention. Some of the marked numbers were incomprehensible. The more she watched, the more startled she became, and she suddenly sat up from the bed.Staring at Yongxuan seriously, he asked, "Where did this picture come from?"

Knowing that his hard work was not in vain, Yong Xie breathed a sigh of relief. After learning how he got to know Magarni these days and how he became acquainted with the entourage, he asked someone to use some tricks to trap the shipbuilder in the regiment. , and got their warship map.

Qianlong had learned quite a lot, and he also understood a third of the warship model, knowing that its strategic significance is far-reaching.If Xiao Si'er's information is true, then it would be very dangerous for this kind of thing to be in the hands of other countries!Seeing Yongxuan suppressing the expression of "praise me" on Yongxuan's face and pretending to be nonchalant, Qianlong's excited mood calmed down, turned into a funny laugh, and patted Yongxuan's head as he wished: "Good job!"

Enough of admiring his son's delicate tail wagging, Qianlong did not forget the business, sent Songtu to the Ministry of Industry to verify, and sent people to check his team again, of course he would not forget the shipbuilder, and took Xiao Si'er away. All noted bugs have been filled.
