The princess has the skills to keep her face [clear wear]

The author has something to say: This chapter has changed a lot

In addition to the Battle of Yaksa, there is another matter that has a great impact on the Qing Dynasty.

At the beginning, in order to make Qionghua happy, Kangxi decreed to open the sea ban and actively promote trade with Western countries.

Originally, Kangxi didn't pay much attention to these maritime trades. Even in the former Ming Dynasty, political factors outweighed actual interests in maritime trade.It wasn't until the caravan sent out by Kangxi brought back dozens of times the profit that he really began to pay attention to this matter, not just as a means to make his daughter happy.

Who doesn't like white silver?

Money is needed for war, money for disaster relief, money for raising soldiers, and money for building palaces... It can be said that politics cannot be separated from money, and pleasure cannot be separated from money.Years of wars with internal and external enemies made the treasury of the Qing Dynasty very poor. The Minister of the Household Department did not know how many times he cried with Kangxi and became poor.

Now, since Kangxi discovered such a way to make money, how could he easily let it go?That's not a little bit of profit, but a profit of dozens of times. If we can do a few more businesses every year, wouldn't we be able to solve the problem of the lack of money in the treasury?

Kangxi felt that Qionghua deserved to be his little lucky star.He does things that make her happy, but it is himself who gets the benefits in the end.She can always surprise him.

After that, Kangxi increased the intensity of maritime trade.The number of Qing ships conducting maritime trade also increased from the initial few to more than a dozen.

However, Kangxi soon ran into problems.

When the sea caravan of the Qing Dynasty had only a few ships, it was not very obvious. Now the scale has expanded to more than a dozen ships, and the transaction volume has also increased, which immediately attracted the attention of pirates.

After bringing back box after box of gold, silver and jewelry, Kangxi's sea caravan capsized at one point—it was robbed and lost.

At this moment, there are two choices before Kangxi.The first option is to accept as soon as it is good and terminate the maritime transaction.

Anyway, before that, Kangxi's caravan also made a lot of money, and brought back enough imported goods for Princess Qionghua, so Kangxi's goal was achieved.When Kangxi sent people to conduct transactions with Western countries, he was opposed by many ministers. In addition, after this incident, the risks of maritime trade have become very clear. It seems a wiser choice to stop at this time. Everything is back to "normal".

The second option is to train an ocean-going navy to continue or even expand the scale of maritime trade. In the future, when the caravans of the Qing Dynasty need to go out for transactions, they will be escorted by the ocean-going navy.Other merchants in the Qing Dynasty can also choose to accept the protection of this ocean-going navy and pay a certain fee.This choice is a whole new way.In the past, the Qing Dynasty established and strengthened the navy for the purpose of fighting wars, but now it is for trade. The purpose is different, which is enough to subvert the perception of many people.

Forming an ocean-going navy is not something that can be done with a touch of lip service. To accomplish this, in addition to convincing some old antiques in the court, it also needs to invest a lot of manpower and material resources.

Kangxi hesitated about this.

From the bottom of his heart, he is unwilling to work hard for what he considers to be a lowly merchant business, but the profits brought by the maritime trade are too great, so big that it is impossible not to be tempted by it.Every time a caravan set off from the Qing Dynasty, what they brought out were only commonly used silk, porcelain, tea, etc., but what they brought back was a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as some novelties that had never been seen in the Qing Dynasty.

At Qionghua's insistence, Kangxi also sent people to collect many Western crop seeds, as well as books related to mathematics, astronomy and other subjects.The seeds were cultivated by Qionghua, and the books were read by Kangxi, who came over regularly to explain to elder brothers and princesses, and also gave them homework from time to time and personally gave them questions to test them.It’s okay for the princesses to say that Kangxi has never been particularly strict with them, but my brothers are suffering. Originally, they only need to learn the six arts of a gentleman. Who knows that with the caravans going overseas, they need to learn more and more subjects. There are so many, even the foreign languages ​​of various countries have been included in their optional courses, it is simply loveless.

Qionghua: Some people must not have enough homework to do things. For the sake of family harmony, we must let their homework drain their energy and kill their energy for doing things in the cradle!

Anyway, Kangxi's sons are all academic masters, so I don't worry that they won't be able to cope.As for Kangxi's daughters, although many of them are delicate and weak, such as Jiugege who was raised under the empress dowager's knees, there are also some who are as tough as men, such as Liugege born by Concubine Yigui Guo Luoluo. This Liugege is a student. Ba, she is very serious in class every time. Not only is she not dissatisfied with Kangxi's addition of courses to elder brothers and princesses, but she also spends [-]% of her motivation to learn new courses.

However, this is also understandable.In the Qing Dynasty, changes in astronomical phenomena were regarded as early warnings from the heavens.If one can grasp the law of changes in celestial phenomena, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to those in a dominant position.Although studying mathematics and astronomy is very hard, it is also adding capital to yourself, and it is worthwhile.

All in all, since the launch of maritime trade, the changes inside and outside Daqing are very obvious.From the fullness of the national treasury to the courses of elder brothers and princesses, they all illustrate how trade will affect the Qing Dynasty.

And whether this kind of influence is good or bad, and whether it is worth the great efforts of the Qing Dynasty to maintain it is exactly what Kangxi needs to consider.

Qionghua didn't know about Kangxi's entanglement.For Kangxi, it is necessary to use bilateral logic to look at the problem from the side of maritime trade that is beneficial to the Qing Dynasty and the side that is not conducive to the Qing Dynasty.Qionghua, who has experience in later generations, only needs to use one-sided logic—she knows that the advantages of maritime trade outweigh the disadvantages, and what she needs to consider is how to make Kangxi accept her point of view.It would be great if we could take advantage of this opportunity to establish an ocean-going navy.

Not to mention that it will be easier for her to obtain those imported products in the future, just looking at the benefits of this matter to the Qing Dynasty is enough for her to personally promote this matter.In the age of great voyages, if you don't train sailors well, you will be beaten.Having a strong navy can greatly improve the country's right to speak.

At first, when Qionghua expressed to Kangxi that she liked imported products, she did not expect that she could bring such an influence.It wasn't until things developed step by step to today's point that Qionghua realized that she could also have a good time, even though it was behind the scenes.

Qionghua made up her mind and started her offensive.

She doesn't need to deliberately do anything, she just needs to express to Kangxi that she has got a lot of imported products and is very happy, but the current imported products are not enough for her, she still needs so many imported products...

As a 24-filial good Ama, Kangxi will understand what she means!

Although the methods are still those old ones, the methods have to be changed from time to time.Qionghua doesn't think that Kangxi obeyed his advice in the past, and he will definitely do so in the future.How to choose a suitable entry point and let Kangxi accept his point of view is a technical problem.

In the end, Qionghua decided to ask someone to invite Kangxi to sit in the Changchun Palace so that she and Kangxi could have a good exchange of feelings.Instead of going directly to Kangxi's study as usual, she then sold her "intuition" to Kangxi.

It was rare for Qionghua to take the initiative to invite Kangxi, and Kangxi would not refuse, so he came to the Changchun Palace that night - Concubine Hui was quite upset about this, because before Qionghua sent someone to invite Kangxi, Kangxi originally planned to go to Concubine Hui's bell. Cui palace.Over the years, Kangxi's love for Concubine Hui has become weaker and weaker. This time, he finally went to Concubine Hui's palace. Who knows, Qionghua cut off his beard in the end!

Without Qionghua's knowledge, Concubine Hui's resentment towards her escalated to another level.

Empress Tong washed her hands and made soup herself, and the family had dinner lively, with a very warm atmosphere.

Xu knew that Qionghua had something important to say to Kangxi, so after the meal, Queen Tong thoughtfully left space for them.

Qionghua organized his language and expressed his wishes to Kangxi, and Kangxi said that he would consider it carefully.Then, he spent a few days thinking about it, and the final decision was that Kangxi would fulfill her wish—every time Qionghua's wish was fulfilled, it would bring Kangxi greater benefits. After a few times, Kangxi had already I have developed a habit of thinking, no matter what Qionghua's wish is, I will satisfy her first, this girl is a blessing, and there is nothing wrong with pampering her hard.After making up his mind, Kangxi held a small meeting with Nalan Mingzhu, Suo'etu, Tong Guowei and other confidant ministers, as if trying to win their support and ask them to help him make suggestions.Then, after Kangxi had a fierce battle of wits with the ministers in the court, he finally reached a consensus on this matter.

There are many old-fashioned people in the court, but it is not difficult for Kangxi to persuade them, as long as the interests of the courtiers are tied with his own interests.Kangxi's fleet has made so much money in maritime trade, and the ministers are not blind, so they can see it naturally. If they want to get a share of the profits, they must accept Kangxi's proposal.Although maritime trade has high risks, in addition to piracy, there is also the risk of capsizing, but these risks are directly proportional to the benefits brought by maritime trade, and it is worth doing.

As the behind-the-scenes hero who promoted the establishment of the Qing Ocean Navy, Qionghua only paid attention to this matter at the beginning.After the establishment of the Ocean Navy, she completely put this matter behind her.Let professional people take care of professional matters. She only needs to be responsible for studying hard, making progress every day, and being beautiful with Er Niang every day.

Originally thought that the maritime trade was going to die soon, and the homework they had to learn might soon die too. After hearing the bad news, Brother and Princess could not wait to hehe Qionghua's face.

It is too much!Qionghua is a quick learner, but it doesn't mean they can do what she does!

Some elder brothers are not sensitive to numbers by nature. In order to learn mathematics, I don’t know how many hairs they have pulled out. Some people are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, but they die in foreign language learning...
