After careful calculation, it is estimated that it has been about two years since Suo'etu, Mingzhu and others set off, and they headed straight for England at the first stop with two large ships full of cargo.

The English people love black tea, but it happens that the originator of black tea was invented by tea farmers in Mount Wuyi, China.

Ordinary tea leaves in China can be sold at the price of high-end tea when they are transported across the ocean to England, and the real high-end or even top-notch tea is worth as much as gold. They are all in short supply, and it would be more perfect if there is a complete set of exquisite tea sets. The nobles of the upper class in England will even spend a lot of money to compete for collections.

In addition, other things with Chinese characteristics such as porcelain, silk, and exquisite embroidery also have a huge market overseas. The history of this land is too long, and it is more or less in the eyes of those blond foreigners. They are all somewhat mysterious, and it is not surprising that they are so popular.

It was the right choice to go straight to England at a high price and in large quantities. What I never expected was that a group of businessmen in England rushed to eat all the goods.

Anyone with a discerning eye will know what the idea is, but the price they offered is quite reasonable. Suo'etu and Mingzhu agreed without much hesitation. After all, they have an important mission to go overseas, and it is a good idea to bring the goods. Pretend, and secondly, it is just to earn some money by the way to do things, which greatly saves their time and energy.

Under the guise of searching for local specialties, a group of people started to wander around all day long, and invited a few guides in a decent manner. It seemed that they were learning about the local customs, but in fact they were deliberately guiding and inquiring about some news. .

It has to be said that these two powerful and cunning old foxes are indeed suitable for this job. The foreign devils who are not so proficient in twists and turns were slipped around, and the job went quite smoothly.

Of course, probably no one would have thought that the Qing Dynasty would send people across the ocean to poach the wall, so they were not very vigilant.

This time, there was only one ship that arrived in Daqing first, and it was full of foreign gadgets, which were also worth a lot in Daqing. Selling them would add another income, which was enough to meet the expenses for the "corners" .

In addition to some books of various colors that were tightly wrapped in the inner and outer layers, among the piles of goods, the most conspicuous ones were the dozens of blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners.

It is believed that four of these people specialize in the study of firearms, and there are other scientists who study physics, chemistry, and mathematics... There are lonely young people, and there are also middle-aged people with families. , and the other two have gray hair, and it is said that they are also the most capable old scholars here.

This is just the first group dug from England. When these people were sent on board, Suo'etu and Mingzhu were planning to set off to other surrounding countries for a stroll. The development is good, and it is worth digging.

After reading the thick stack of letters, Kangxi nodded in satisfaction, "This matter has been done well, as expected, old and cunning people have to do it in person. If it was a young man, I'm afraid it might not be so smooth."

Lin Shiyu couldn't stop laughing, "In this way, the burden of Lord Dai can be greatly reduced, and there will be more opportunities to exchange and learn with people in the same way... When it comes to learning, the emperor might as well choose some young people to come out and give it to him." Are they students?"

"That's natural. What you dug from outside is not your own after all. In the future, we still have to rely on our own Hao Erlang."

"Hao Erlang? Could it be that Hao Erlang is the only one who can contribute to the country?" Lin Shiyu snorted coldly and said, "Aren't there a few female experts and scholars in this group of people? Why don't they take turns taking some time to be concubines?" How many hours does your college teach? If the extra work adds to the burden, the concubines can also give them some extra rewards, which are sure to be generous."

"Heh, don't you cry and be poor now?" Kangxi gave her a cold look, with a half-smile, "It's only now that I understand that your college... has a lot of heart."

His tone sounded very relaxed, but his eyes were not like that, they were dark and bottomless.

Lin Shiyu was not panicked at all, but said calmly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be like this. How have my concubines been contaminated with any substantive rights in these years? The concubines just don't want women to be bullied too much by this world. Learning knowledge is not the only thing to do." A man's right."

"There are female experts and scholars in foreign countries, why can't women in our country even have the qualifications for education? This is an old and pedantic idea that should be eliminated. In the long run, this situation is also very important for the development of a country. It definitely does more harm than good, and the emperor will know it when he goes out to see other countries."

Kangxi was silent, because he was thinking but he didn't want to speak. Anyway, he couldn't argue with this woman in any debate. He often spent a lot of saliva in the end and was speechless in the end, and then he could only choose to agree.

Why bother?Don't talk anymore.

He didn't say a word, and Lin Shiyu couldn't see what he was thinking about, but judging from his expression, there was an inexplicable feeling of depression and grievance?

"emperor……"

"Stop, stop, stop, tell me to think about it carefully, don't you?" Just spare his ears, this woman is really, she doesn't look old at all, but she is more and more chatty.

"..."

Lin Shiyu gave him a blank look, and said with a smile: "What I want to talk about is not about this, but about safety issues. Although these people were successfully recruited by us, they are foreigners after all, such as sniper firearms and machine guns. We are the only ones, and we must not be stolen to get the secret rumors, and the same is true for what we research in the future, there is no reason for other countries to sit back and enjoy the benefits."

Kangxi heaved a sigh of relief, and replied: "Don't worry, I specially rewarded them with a house and many servants to take care of them personally."

After saying this, he felt oily on the soles of his feet, as if there was a ghost chasing after him, but Lin Shiyu wasn't very worried, the better the development of Qing Dynasty now, the less he dared to annoy her.

She can also see that this big pig's hoof is now trying his best to be famous in history, and maybe he is secretly chasing Qin Huang and Han Wu... In this case, how could he allow himself to end tragically, for his own sake? A not-so-good end to this history?

Sure enough, Kangxi agreed to her request within a few days, and arranged an additional job as a college teacher for those female experts and scholars. Asking her to bear the burden on her own is not shabby.

The only thing that is a bit difficult is the language problem. There is always a translator next to the class, which greatly reduces the efficiency and is not conducive to the communication between teachers and students. However, it is always good to learn some knowledge. If you really want to Wherever you go to study, you should take the initiative to stick to it and try to study hard.

In short, she has already given the opportunity, and the rest depends on everyone's own ideas.

The benefits of these professional scientists who worked so hard to get these professional scientists are obvious. The first good news came from the Firearms Battalion. Not only the existing important firearms have been improved, but also the barrel machine gun Inspired by him, he successfully produced a large-caliber heavy machine gun. The disadvantage is that it is more cumbersome, and the advantage is naturally that it can be called brutal lethality.

After experimenting for a while, Kangxi decided to allocate funds and ordered to step up production. Maybe he could give Lao Maozi another surprise?

But who would have thought that before a few machine guns could be produced, the old Maozi could not hold it anymore.

After a year and a half of arduous fighting, the ferocious old Maozi was finally defeated by the fierce fire attack of the Qing army. In addition, the logistics and various resources and supplies have reached their limit. In desperation, Tsar Peter chose to surrender, and then decisively shot through his head.

Unexpectedly, the two siblings, who had been fighting for so many years, chose the same path in the end. She paid a heavy price for her momentary greed and stupidity.

Except for the royal family, the Qing army did not massacre other nobles, and treated the civilians more kindly. It was completely different from the cruelty that exterminated the Japanese people. Curled up, not daring to move.

There are also some assembled forces among the people who are not reconciled to the defeat of their own country and want to drive away foreign enemies, but the situation is stronger than others, and the enemy that even the orthodox army cannot defeat, how can they be opponents?No matter how unwilling it is, it will not help.

After this war, the territory belonging to the Qing Dynasty on the map has been expanded again, and it has become the country with the largest land area in the world. It is estimated that no other country can surpass it in the future.

Looking at the large area circled with a vermilion pen on the map, the corners of Lin Shiyu's mouth could not fall.

More than 2000 million square kilometers!

Even if there is a large area of ​​bitter cold that is not suitable for living, so what?There are also many, many resources!

This can be considered rich, right?

"The next step..." Kangxi narrowed his eyes slightly, and tapped a pitifully small territory - Gaoli.

"I just received a distress letter from Li Xuan. There was a riot in their country, begging me for help." Speaking of this, he couldn't help sneering again and again, and said in disgust: "When I helped the old Maozi in private, Why didn't he think that the Qing Dynasty was his suzerain country? Now that he encounters difficulties, he knows to seek help from the suzerain country. Fortunately, he still has the face to speak out, he is really shameless!"
