Crossing Prince Yinren

Yinfeng hopes to prevent the brothers who grew up with them from going down the old path of history through guidance, but this is really not an easy task.Education has been a problem since ancient times.

Kangxi took turns taking the princes Yinreng with him when traveling, and he very much agreed. Letting these children who were born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of women go outside to see the sufferings of the people is of great benefit, and Kangxi is also a very suitable candidate for discipline.As for himself, Kangxi is still there, and all the younger brothers are his peers, especially the adult biological brothers, so it is really inconvenient for him to discipline him.

Yinreng listened to Yinzhen's travel experiences, and paid special attention to the customs of the people and the study habits of the students, as well as the maritime trade in Yuhang, Yangzhou and other places.Yinzhen noticed the focus of his attention, and described in detail the business travelers he saw along the way, the endless stream of business travelers on the post roads, the wandering scholars everywhere, foreign businessmen and missionaries with different hair and colors, and the popular bookstores. Foreign dubbed books... There are even well-known academies offering Kewu and natural subjects, and it is even heard that one academie hired a blond foreigner to teach.As for the maritime commerce and trade in Yuhang, Yangzhou and other places, it was extremely prosperous, and a transaction between merchants cost tens of thousands of gold, and some of them were astonishingly high.It’s just that the sea is not peaceful. There are often pirates harassing and plundering the caravans. The Qing Dynasty’s navy was first established. It can only send ships and sailors with the fleet to escort the brigade of merchant ships. .

In fact, the new navy in Fujian and Yuhang did not exist in the Qing Dynasty before the establishment of the navy, and there were also divisions in the inland waters and outlying seas. Giant ships were used in the outlying seas, and light boats were used in the inland rivers. They defended Haikou, arrested pirates, conquered Wu Sangui, and conquered Taiwan. Once flat, there is no big enemy outside, and the navy without customization will rot almost immediately, and the firearms and ship equipment are far behind those red-haired bandits at sea.And Yinfeng required that the navy must be invincible at sea, so the new navy is imperative.

"Whoever controls the sea controls the world." The 18th century was the era of maritime hegemony and capital accumulation. The superiority of Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and even the United States in the future was established in this era. , and the basis of their capital accumulation is sea power.In the future world, it can be said that whoever controls the sea will have the ability to control sea traffic; whoever has the ability to control sea traffic will control world trade; whoever controls world trade will control world wealth , and thus control the world itself.

The most fundamental reason for China's 200 years of backwardness is that it has abandoned the ocean and closed itself to the outside world.And it was at this time that he gave up the ocean. Yinfeng came to this era and stood in this position, so he had to do something.

Seeing that he listened to his own words, Xu Zhen fell into deep thought, thinking that he was worried about pirates, and comforted him: "It's just a group of thieves who are running around the sea with firearms. They can't make a fortune. Why should the second brother worry too much?"

Yinfeng shook his head and said, "No, Yinzhen, you don't understand, the future world is in the ocean."

In private, he rarely called Yinzhen by his full name, and when he spoke in such a solemn tone, Yinzhen couldn't help being startled.

That night, the two brothers talked until midnight, Yinfeng didn't talk about pirates anymore, but Yinzhen kept his tone in his heart because of his tone at that time.

The next day, the two went to the court outside the Qianqing Gate together. Yinzhen took a step first and quietly joined the clan's queue. Yinyin and Yinhu were keenly aware that he did not come in from outside the palace like everyone else. They moved away from each other, one faintly ridiculed, the other was slightly envious.

Chao Yinfeng received a strange memorial this morning, and the Minister of Rites told him that the address of his mausoleum had been selected.

In fact, for a real emperor in a feudal society, this memorial is not strange at all. According to the custom, the first day a new emperor ascends the throne, the project of finding and building a mausoleum for him should have started. Yin Feng has been on the throne for five years, and the site for his mausoleum has only been selected. This progress is already very, very slow.But choosing a good tomb site is not an easy task after all. Moreover, the situation at this time is quite special. The Supreme Emperor Xuanye is still alive. When Yinreng first ascended the throne, his imperial mausoleum had not yet been completed. In addition, the imperial court was preparing to send troops to the northwest at that time. Yinfeng continued to increase the salaries of officials, but he really didn't have the national strength to build two imperial mausoleums at the same time, so it has been delayed until now.Now that the national treasury is gradually filling up, this major event can be put on the agenda.

When Yinreng just finished listening to the report from the Minister of Rites, the expression on his face was very unpredictable.

Even though I traveled to the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years, as a person who grew up in a modern society, I still find it strange to build my own mausoleum.

He always felt that it was still very, very far away. When he thought about it occasionally in his previous life, he just felt that after death, he would just occupy a place in Babaoshan.

Now someone told him before him that his tomb should be built.

In feudal dynasties, it was not a random thing to build an emperor's private house. The so-called "death is like life". Although the construction of the building began to be thinly buried after the Song Dynasty, it is still relatively speaking whether it is an emperor or not.Therefore, it is always a big burden for the country to build an imperial mausoleum, and therefore, since ancient times, imperial tombs have been the coveted target of tomb robbers.

In the past few years, Yinfeng, who has rarely seen it in recent years, began to roll over the novels he had read in his long past life: "Ghost X Lantern", "Pirate X Notes", "X Mountain Taoist"...

He remained silent for a long time, which made the minister of the Ministry of Rites, who came out to report, look up cautiously with some unease, and said, "Your Majesty..."

Yinreng came back to his senses, raised the corners of his lips quite interestingly, and said, "Since the tomb site has been selected, let's start preparing for the construction."

After the court retreated in the early morning, he gently stopped the three of them, Yinxuan, Yinzhen, and Yinhu, and said: "I didn't take care of it yesterday, so I will make up the welcome banquet for you today."

Because Kangxi was in the palace, the Fengfeng Banquet was arranged as a family banquet, and the venue was chosen at the Qianqiu Pavilion in the imperial garden.

The weather is beautiful, it was still raining in autumn last night, but today it is breezy and crisp, with no cloud in the blue sky, and the fragrance of flowers and leaves in the imperial garden is particularly fresh.

The adult and minor princes, concubines, Yinfeng, Empress Shi, etc. were all present. Xuan Ye was very excited, but also a little regretful: "It's a pity that the Empress Dowager and Ning An have not returned from worshiping Buddha in Mount Wutai, otherwise Our family is complete."

Yinfeng poured the wine for him with a smile, pinching the handle of the black silver panlong jug with his slender fingers, his whiteness was astonishing, "Huang Ama misses the Empress Dowager? Lingling wrote to say that the Empress Dowager has made an appointment I will set off and come back next month, and we will see each other in mid-September at the latest."

The youngest of the princes, the five-year-old fifteenth prince Yinxuan sat on Kangxi's lap, curiously stretched his neck to watch the crystal clear wine poured into the cup, salivating.Xuan Ye nodded, seeing Maozi's greedy face, he picked up the wine glass funnyly and let him take a sip, his little face immediately wrinkled into a ball.

Yinfeng couldn't help laughing, and Yinfeng also smiled slightly.Yinzhi and Yinqi, who were sitting closer, were all amused when they saw the younger brother's expression.Yinzhi picked up his wine glass to tease the little fourteenth Yinzhen: "Fourteenth brother, do you want to have a taste?" The ten-year-old Yinzhen gave him a big roll of his eyes unceremoniously.

The little thirteen Yinxiang has finally seized an opportunity since Xuanye returned to the palace yesterday, and said eagerly to his father through the eyes of others: "Huang Ama, can you take your son with you when you go out of Beijing? Go out and learn a lot..."

Xuan Ye dotes on his sons very much, especially in the few years he has spent in Beijing. He patted his head and said, "Xiao Shisan also wants to travel in Beijing with me?"

Yinxiang nodded vigorously and looked at him longingly.Xiaoshi Yunxuan saw that his father seemed to agree, so he hurriedly said: "The imperial minister also wants to go!" Yinzhen's eyes also lit up, looking at his father, even Yinyou and Yinxuan, who had always been restrained, were in the eyes. Can't hide the faint desire.

The "Law of the Qing Dynasty" stipulates that the royal family and princes who have no purpose to go out of Beijing for a hundred miles will be punished with death. Except for offering sacrifices to heaven or hunting for retinues every autumn, princes and grandchildren basically have no chance to go out of Beijing.And being able to go out of Beijing with Xuan Ye, naturally, he can go wherever he wants, and maybe he can also see Jinling, Suzhou and Hangzhou, which are the first-class romantic and prosperous places in the soft red ten feet.

The author has something to say: Yin Reng: "The burial takes up arable land, and even cremation is required! If the tomb robber disturbs, the fake corpse will be too ugly, and the burial must not be done!"
