After I was reborn, I became a plug-in for the country

Although the order for artillery has been placed, shipbuilding is not a small project.So since the 28th year of Kangxi, after the father and son discussed and prepared to send people to Europe, the ship for this mission has been built for four full years.

Kangxi is a face-saving emperor, so he has extremely high demands on the emissary fleet.The first is that the person in charge of the mission (mainly face) must not lose the court's face, and the second is that the accompanying people, including the merchants who go with them, must not lose the court's face.In the end, the treasure ship they were on could not lose the court's face.

For these requirements, from being called into Beijing to help Yinreng choose Yang Yanqiu who can follow him as an envoy, to the craftsmen who are responsible for making ships for everyone to ride on, they are all busy with this matter.

When Yang Yanqiu Chuchu heard that the imperial court planned to select people from among the merchants to go to Taixi with him, he was still very excited.After all, since he made a lot of money from the British people with Yinfeng, he always wondered if he could find other ways to cooperate with the prince and go overseas to earn some money.

But ever since he heard that the imperial court punished merchants who went to sea privately for serious crimes and distributed them to the frontier, he never dared to have similar thoughts.

Now the crown prince actually told him that the court would take the lead in doing what he had always wanted to do, how could he be unhappy.It's just that he has to help screen the merchants he can go to, which is absolutely unexpected.

After hearing Yinreng's announcement that he was asked to help screen people, Yang Yanqiu was very happy at the beginning.One is because although he has a little background in Yangzhou, there are many Jin merchants and Huizhou merchants who have a stronger foundation than his family, and he has even thought of cooperating with big merchants there.His Highness gave En En to him to choose people, and it was considered as a way for him to know these big merchants.

Second, Yang Yanqiu felt that the court and His Royal Highness trusted him, so he thought of asking him to choose someone.

It's just that when he heard that Yinfeng's selection criteria were both capital and good looks, his expression changed from surprise to consternation, "His Royal Highness, this standard..."

He guessed that the appearance of the servants in the palace must not be incomplete, so he asked His Highness to be a little concerned about the appearance.But now they are going to select people to go outside, not to send them to the Forbidden City for His Highness to see!

Yinfeng coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "What Khan Ama means is, after all, it represents the face of the imperial court. If it is too ugly, it may make foreigners laugh at no one in our country."

"..." Yang Yanqiu had nothing to say.All right, since the face of the imperial court is involved, we really have to be careful.

So Yang Yanqiu took the imperial decree, took out the spirit of picking a wife for his son, and began to carefully pick out all the merchants who signed up to go with him.He has Kangxi's personal warrant in his hand, so he is not afraid of offending others.

He even asked the servants to give him the portraits of all the merchants after seeing different people for a few days, so that he could grasp the deviation of appearance.

The servants felt a headache when they heard this, "Master, it's not like..."

Sure enough, he is Yang Yanqiu's servant, and his mind is the same as his previous mind.It's not about drafting women into the palace, so why bother?

Yang Yanqiu was not polite at all, and just slapped him on the head, "What do you know, this is a matter of the court's face!"

The servants didn't dare to argue anymore, so they could only find dozens of painters, gather the merchants who signed up, and draw their close-up portraits one by one.However, this "court face" is really a golden token. Not only did the merchants dare not protest the selection criteria, but in order to be selected, they learned some makeup skills from their wife before meeting Yang Yanqiu.

And it was the first time for Yang Yanqiu, who had seen old men painted and painted, when he saw the portraits and then looked at these former close friends, he couldn't bear to look directly at them.

"..." Your Highness is really embarrassing!

The hustle and bustle of Yang Yanqiu here is still orderly, but the hustle and bustle of the craftsmen is completely disorganized and in a hurry.

First of all, shipbuilding is not something that can only be done quickly in the short term. In particular, warships that need to erect artillery are also different from ordinary seagoing ships that only carry cargo.What kind of wood is used to make what specifications, expert craftsmen know the difference inside, it is very big.

Secondly, Kangxi only wanted the craftsmen to order a boat, but there were no specific requirements on the size and style of the boat.The craftsmen still can't ask in detail, and the question is just a sentence, which is better than that of the previous Ming Dynasty, and even bigger than that of the Sanbao eunuch!

The craftsmen who did not receive accurate instructions all turned gray for a while.

Most of these craftsmen came from Fujian.In the past, Yao Qisheng, governor of Fujian, vigorously developed the navy and expanded the fleet, and they also used their craftsmen.Therefore, in terms of shipbuilding technology, they have also passed the actual test.

As long as the court clearly stated the scale of the ship they wanted them to build, they were confident that they would definitely be able to complete it before the deadline.

But the frightening thing is that the emperor doesn't have any specific requirements here, and the eunuch who delivered the decree is even more vague and only has a few words, it must be big, good, grand, and show the majesty of the royal family!

The craftsmen were helpless after hearing this.What kind of ship can it not humiliate the face of the royal family?It is true that they are Han Chinese, but they were also born during the Shunzhi period. Where do they know what the specifications of the treasure ships of the former Ming Dynasty were?

But the emperor has already issued an order, what can we slaves do.Find someone to ask, look through the history books, and think of all the ways you can think of. You must know how big the treasure ship of the former Ming Dynasty was!

The ship is being built, the leader of the team is being selected, and when the court is in a hurry for the mission, Kangxi, Yinfeng and his son are leisurely drinking tea in Zhaoren Hall.

However, what the father and son said is not a small matter, it is a major event that cares about the Xinjueluo family for generations to come.

If there was a queen in Kangxi's harem, the queen should have told her son about it.It's a pity that Master Kong had a bad time, and he married three queens in a row but failed to keep him.So this son's life-long event can only be taken care of by him himself.

"I went to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager yesterday, and she said that looking at Shi Wenbing's daughter is the most satisfying. What do you think? May the Empress Dowager call in to take another look?" Kangxi joked.

Although the idea of ​​choosing a crown princess for his son had already been planned two years ago, the government has been too busy in the past few years, and it will take nearly half a year to really put this matter on the agenda.

After Kangxi finished speaking, he stared at Yinrong with an expression of "my son wants to bow cabbage" and waited for him to reply.Afraid that Yinfeng would be shy, he added, "It's natural for a man to marry a woman, so don't be shy. Just say it openly if you want to have the appearance and temperament."

Unexpectedly, Yinfeng replied directly: "Everything is up to Khan Ama, whoever you say is whoever you are."

"Aren't you going to take another look in person?" Kangxi wondered.Strange, he remembered that his son was a face-controller, and the servant sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he still despised his ugliness and didn't want to come.It's related to the person who raises the eyebrows in the future, but this child looks like it has nothing to do with him.

"My son believes in Khan Amma." Yinfeng said frankly, "Your vision is always right." What else to watch, what time did you not see it in the previous life.

Kangxi looked him up and down, as if he didn't know him.After thinking for a while, he finally understood: "Have you met before?" Naturally, the prince also had to go to pay his respects to the queen mother, whether it was the girl who had a face-to-face meeting with the queen mother was unknown.

Yinfeng smiled foolishly, "Where did Ama Khan think? My son is preoccupied with envoy missions, so I don't have the heart to think about it." Really, you've seen everything, okay?

Although Kangxi didn't really believe it, he didn't have the intention to embarrass his son, so he said directly: "I and the queen mother have both seen it, and the girl is of good quality, she looks like a lucky one. I know the tutor of the Shi family, maybe It will disappoint you."

"Yes, my son thanked Khan Ama!" Yinfeng made a big gift as if joking.

Kangxi gave him an angry look, and then kicked him out of the door.

Although he, Khan Ama, let him go, the system didn't let go of this opportunity to tease him, "I remember His Highness said before that you wouldn't think about it if you didn't make the Qing Dynasty strong."

Yinfeng raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it considered powerful now?" Compared with this time in his previous life, the current Daqing is much stronger, okay?

From the outside, silver is sent in like flowing water, and all kinds of industries are flourishing inside.In the past, the powerful foreign enemies who were suppressed could only farm outside the customs, and the Europeans who wanted to invade them would also be slaughtered by the fleet of the Qing Dynasty in the near future. Isn't this considered powerful?

The system said: "Compared to the later generations, the Qing Dynasty must have a lot of plugs. But compared to other countries in the world today, the strength of the Qing Dynasty is indeed already something that cannot be underestimated."

Its evaluation was fairly fair, and Yinfeng was very satisfied, "You are wise." But thinking of his hard work, Daqing was still far behind the later generations in the eyes of the system, and he said with emotion: "Fortunately, Khan Ama also knows now. The importance of openness, I can only hope that this opening will expand and become bigger, and the foundation of the Qing Dynasty will become stronger and stronger on top of this!"

"As long as Your Highness doesn't give up, you can definitely do it." The system said sincerely, "And didn't your father dream about what the royal family would be like after he abolished the crown prince? So as long as you marry a daughter-in-law, don't be a monster and give birth to a good baby." My son, your position must still be unshakable."

Yinfeng thought of the mess in his backyard in his previous life, and the smile that was still on his face just now gradually faded.He couldn't help but solemnly said: "Gu will definitely treat her well this time." After all, the princess who can settle his yard Yingying Yanyan and who is often called Khan Ama's praise is not a woman to be underestimated.

Seeing that he was engrossed in his thoughts, the system tentatively asked: "Have you never thought about it, because your backyard is too messy and your father can't see through it, so he supports the princess so that she can settle it?"

"..." Shut up, please?

In the mid-June of the 32nd year of Kangxi, after the simultaneous efforts of tens of thousands of craftsmen, the 50 large ships that took a long time were finally built and handed over.These boats are uniform in size, with a length of about fifty feet and a width of about twenty-five feet.If you want to carry people, even thousands of people will not be too crowded.

The reason why so many ships were built was because Kangxi was too petty after seeing the ships built by the merchants themselves, so he ordered the merchants not to prepare any more ships, but to go out with the imperial ships.

However, he did not allow merchants to use the imperial ship for nothing. Relying on his son's suggestion, he asked each merchant to charge 2000 taels for the use of the cabin.

The merchants did not expect the imperial court to have such a hand, and when they paid the money, they also sighed in their hearts, "profiteers!" It's okay to dislike our bad, but you have to pay again if you use yours.

But thinking that they would definitely be able to earn ten times the money back this trip, these merchants felt that the money was well spent.

In the 33rd year of Kangxi, the envoys of the imperial court who had been carefully selected, the scholars of the first batch of foreign language colleges in Beijing, and the merchants who were eager to kill the Europeans, after Kangxi personally saw and led the princes to hold a sacrificial ceremony, they were so powerful. headed towards Europe on the other side.

Not long after they set off, Dai Zi got inspiration from the foreign language school in Beijing, and after asking Kangxi for an order, he called together all the creative people among all the craftsmen in the world to open a special technical school in Henan.

Another half a year later, Yinfeng set up a technical humanoid college in the middle of the capital, which was larger than the Henan Artisan School, on the grounds that "talents in a province are slightly restricted, and it is better to recruit available talents than Beijing."He also compiled the textbooks of this college himself, covering physics, chemistry, geography and other subjects he learned from the system.

One thing to add here is that the teaching material comes from the book that Yinreng was forced to copy by Khan Ama in the past.Now after dusting it off and copying it again, it can still be used by students.

Because Yinfeng served as the honorary principal, as soon as the academy was opened, it immediately suppressed the limelight of the academy run by Dai Zi.Yinfeng told the system proudly that it seems that in the past he, Khan Ama, didn't want to expand the academy because he lacked money, but now that he has money, the school is really ready to go.

The system joked, "I hope this college can be seen as a branch in every province in the Qing Dynasty."

Although Yinfeng didn't respond immediately, he couldn't hide his arrogance no matter what.

Yinfeng never thought that this day would come so suddenly.

That was just what he thought was an ordinary day, to be more special, it should be regarded as the day of his second wedding to the Crown Princess.The system even teased him during breakfast, "Your Highness is also considered a second-married person."

He rolled his eyes with a good face, "You are only married for the second time."

The reason why he was so angry was because the day of his wedding was too hot.Even though Yuqing Palace was filled with ice, Yinreng still felt hot all over.

After saying this, he didn't have time to talk to the system again all day.The system also seemed to be watching the ceremony wholeheartedly, and did not speak to Yinrong again.

But after the ceremony was over and the husband and wife drank the wine, the system suddenly said in Yinrong's mind: "Your Highness, I should go."

At that time, Yinreng's mind was a little dizzy from the beautiful atmosphere of the red candles, so he had to lean forward to listen carefully in order to identify what the system said.But when he looked up, he saw that the face of the crown princess opposite was also blushing, and she looked at him shyly with her rippling eyes.

After being stared at by his wrong eyes for a while, the newlywed was even more shy, and called out softly as if begging for mercy, "Prince."

Yinfeng felt as if he had an auditory hallucination, "What did you say?"

"I'm leaving, Your Highness." "What's wrong with the crown prince?" Two different voices rang in his ears at the same time, Yinfeng couldn't tell who was talking to him for a while, and his face looked a little dull.

Seeing this, the system turned into a human form and raised its hand to touch a certain place in its program. After it finished touching, everything in front of Yinfeng stopped.

After Yinfeng came back to his senses, his first reaction was not to be surprised that the system had such a control ability, but to say angrily, "You have this ability and you didn't tell Gu earlier."

The system laughed out loud, and then said, "Your Highness has worked hard these years."

"Are you going to be tied to Gu Jie?" After the anger passed, Yin Reng's expression became serious.

"Yes, my time has come." The system became gentler than ever before, "The fate of the Qing Dynasty in the future will be entirely up to His Highness."

"Didn't you say that Gu hasn't completed the task yet?" Yin Reng's eyes were a little red. This stupid system has accompanied him for so many years, and he suddenly said goodbye, which is really sad.

"I have already submitted an all-round review report, and the above judges that if it continues to develop in this way, the Qing Dynasty can continue to prosper for a long time, so my task is completed. Although your Highness's task is not complete, you need to continue. tried."

"Above" Yinreng opened his eyes wide, his mind a little confused, "Aside from you, who else knows about Gu?"

"Many people know about it," the system said with a smile, "Your Highness, take care!"

After all, he didn't care how Yinfeng yelled, and he never replied.

The start button was pressed on the still picture, and the flowery face of his newly married crown princess reappeared in front of Yinreng's eyes.

"Prince, what's the matter with you?" The princess looked worried, and hurriedly ordered the maid in charge beside her, "Quickly, go and twist the veil to wipe His Highness's face, and then go get honey water to sober His Highness."

After confirming that the system had left, Yinreng seemed to have taken all the strength out of his body, grabbed the hand of the princess, leaned weakly on her shoulder and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, let alone for a while." It's gone." The silly system is gone, and in the days to come, he will only depend on each other with the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess patted him on the shoulder and said understandingly: "I think His Highness is exhausted today, why don't you rest as soon as possible. I am here to guard."

Yinfeng took a few deep breaths with his head sullen, then raised his head and put on a smiling face again, twisting the pretty face of the princess, "Today is going to be a big ceremony, how can I be willing to leave my concubine alone."

The Crown Princess's already bright red face became even more beautiful after being teased by his words.

As soon as Pu opened his eyes on the second day, Yinfeng subconsciously asked the system to ask the time.This is also his habit for many years. Since he got the system, he has never had the habit of asking the servants for their time.

But after calling for a while, he didn't hear any echo.

Yinfeng covered his face with his hands and murmured softly: "I'm really gone."

"Your Highness," Huai Qing who had been waiting outside the hall all night called softly, "It's time to greet the Emperor."

Although there is still reluctance, he knows that he cannot always be immersed in this kind of reluctance.He said softly in his heart: "Without you, Gu Ye would definitely live this life well.",
