[Red Mansion] I want to be the chief assistant

When the Tsarist Russian royal family got the news and went to arrest the Han envoy Lin Heng who was not far from the palace, the entire envoy’s mansion was empty overnight, and the guards who went there finally came back empty-handed .

Not only the envoys, but also the merchants who came to do business also withdrew from the territory of Tsarist Russia.

By the time the Tsarist Russian royal family discovered that the big Han had come prepared, it was already too late. The Han army had already driven straight into Russia and captured several cities.

If the local big landlords can still organize the farmers on the land, they can cause some troubles to the Han army.However, at this time the sequelae of serfdom began to appear.

A relatively clear relationship of exploitation and even confrontation has been formed between landlords and serfs. Under such circumstances, the landlord class relies on the national law to suppress these serfs whose numbers are far larger than them.Now that the Han army came and the inherent social system collapsed, what else could they do to drive these peasant households?

Especially in response to the serf system with Tsarist Russian characteristics, the Han army also played the banner of liberating the serfs and distributed the captured land to these serfs.Anyway, they can't take these lands away, so what about these people if they are cheaper?

This war is for Lin Yu to establish the prestige of the empire on the entire continent, and by the way, to recover the land lost by China since the Tang Dynasty.It was a war similar to the attack on the Japanese country, and it was a war in Eastern Europe that warned India that Western Europe was about to move.

There is a part of the area on the Russian side that Lin Yu said he would fight back if he died. In addition, it is cold and sparsely populated, and there are no resources, so he has little interest.

However, there is one place that is heavily symbolic and must be visited.This city, whose name was changed to Suiye City, was the birthplace of Li Bai, a poet in Tang Dynasty, and one of the four Anxi towns.

This piece of land was completely occupied by today's Russia a few years ago. Even if the two countries officially communicated, they did not mention a word of return.

No one cares about what the Tsarist Russian royal family thinks. Anyway, the idea of ​​the entire empire is very clear. The land of the empire will naturally be taken back by the soldiers of the empire.As for the royal family of Tsarist Russia, the price must be paid for the original occupation.

Of course, this is after the war is over.

For the empire, the more northwest it is, the more desolate it is. This is a fact that cannot be changed for a while.Especially in places like Suiye City, where there are not many Han people, the people's sense of identity with these lands may not be very strong.

However, there is a well-known name of Li Bai's birthplace, and the newspapers publicized it again, and the number of people shouting to take back the land suddenly increased.It seems that the city has suddenly become a place of culture and education just because of Li Taibai's poetic spirit, but this is a good thing for the empire.

Is the teacher famous!

Everyone talks about the glory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the era when poetry and writing talent reached its peak, and the era when courtiers still needed literary skills to stabilize the country but were unable to stabilize the country. wiped his forehead.

The original Baron Bourne has returned to his own country, replaced by the current middle-aged man who is slightly bald and accustomed to wearing this style of wig.But this person doesn't have any titles, and he even has a lot of business in his hands, including the East India Company.

Except for the first two years, after the empire's wharf in East India was built, there was inevitably some friction between the two countries.The envoy couldn't be more clear in his heart that most of these frictions ended in a disadvantage for Britain.

It's really because the level of the army can't keep up, so they can only be suppressed and beaten.But businessmen are doing everything for profit, even if this envoy hopes that they will abide by the law a little bit, in the face of real interests, there will always be someone who will 'know the law and break the law'.

As for this law, it is naturally the law of the empire.In other words, it was a law jointly formulated by the Mughal Dynasty and the Empire.

At this time, the Mower Dynasty, like the previous Jing Dynasty, had begun to decay.It is like a giant that is dying and has gone to its own way.The emergence of the empire undoubtedly gave them a shot in the arm and gave them a few years of life.

"Brother Huang, have you never thought about capturing this piece of land?" Looking at the huge world map, Lin Kun's words were obviously eager to try.Indeed, on the map, the two countries border each other, and it looks like a mouthful.

Even if that Himalayas is an insurmountable difficulty now, isn't there still a navy.It's not that Lin Kun boasted, the empire has the most powerful navy in the world, so you don't have to be afraid to go anywhere.

Lin Yu listened to the fearless declaration of Lin Kun, a young tiger who had just come down the mountain, and said with a smile: "That's true, there is still a Buddhist country there, if we go to occupy it, it doesn't look difficult."

Upon hearing this, Lin Kun turned around and said, "But?"

There's always a but, he thought.Looking at the emperor brother who was said to be very clingy when he was young, his eyes are full of admiration.

"That country has engraved the hierarchy into the bone marrow, and it is beyond salvation." Lin Yu showed a smile that was not a smile. In a modern society where human rights and freedom prevail in later generations, the racial system can still be implemented as it is. nation.At that time, almost every once in a while, they could see them beating and killing women at will, and they took it as a rightful country, and he didn't even want to give it to Lin Yu.

He patted Lin Kun's immature shoulder, and said: "In countries like North Korea and Japan, if you kill all the people in charge of the Wenwen Temple, the rest will be your fish. The hatred can only last for two or three generations. Once they get familiar with Chinese and wear Chinese clothes, they will naturally think that they are Han people, and the past history is no longer important.”

Because Lin Kun will go out to establish a country sooner or later, so Lin Yu explained these things to him in detail, and he continued: "But the Mughal Dynasty is different. They ruled four classes, and there are people outside the fourth class who cannot see The untouchables. Do you think they can get used to people who are originally inferior to themselves as equals?"

Lin Kun was at a loss for a moment, as if it was hard to imagine that there is such a country in this world, he said slowly: "First, those untouchables." These two words came out of his mouth, and there was still some difficulty.He swallowed, and said, "You never thought of resisting?"

"This is the most frightening thing." Lin Yu led him out of the room. In another year, Lin Kun will have his hair tied. Although he is not yet [-] years old, for the royal family, such a situation The age is already an adult.

Today's royal family is not so thin. There are already three princes and princesses. Today's empress still has one in her belly. For the Lin family, which has always been single-handed, this is already quite high-yielding, and the courtiers are very happy. in one breath.But the population of the entire royal family is still poor, and now even Daiyu's marriage is being watched by all the ministers.They knew in their hearts that this princess who would inherit the line of Prince Rui would be the first female prince in the future, and her heirs would naturally also belong to the clan.Although there is suspicion of looking for a son-in-law, who doesn't have a few sons, so what if they give up one?

Under such circumstances, Daiyu has already personally stepped into the battle, taking care of the royal treasury and the bank affairs for the emperor's brother.It is worth mentioning that she has been going back and forth between the two banks before, so it can be regarded as a single-handedly involved in the establishment of the two banks.Now that the National Bank can operate on its own, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief and concentrate on managing a large stall of the Royal Bank.

Now, after capital verification, the reputable banks have been transformed into banks.Among them, in order to facilitate supervision, the treasury has allocated a part of the money to occupy some shares.It can be said that there are no private banks in the true sense of the banks that are blooming all over the country.Even the Royal Bank allocated some shares to the country under Lin Yu's suggestion.

With the unprecedented prosperity of commerce and trade, the footprints of these banks followed the imperial soldiers overseas.Among them, the most trusted is still the Royal Bank.The prestige of His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Empire spread to the world with his army, and he was deeply awed.

Now on the sea route, many ships are willing to hire some imperial nationals, and carry a golden dragon flag representing the empire.If you encounter pirates, as long as you show this flag, they will naturally hesitate.Then let the citizens of the empire come forward, even if these pirates are greedy for the fat in front of them, they can only retreat unwillingly.

Only when it is strong can it be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"You have graduated from Xiaochu." Lin Yu looked at the child who was fanned out by his butterfly wings, and said with a smile, "It's time to go out for a walk." If a cub is kept in a cage for a long time, It will also lose blood.Learning is important, but for Lin Kun, experience is equally important.

Don't go, it won't be long before he will take his men out to seal the country.From then on, he overcame the thorns and thorns to break out of his own world.

Of course, Lin Yu could grant him the territory he had already developed, but this kid refused with great promise.No matter what others think, Lin Yu is very satisfied, even Jia Min who loves the child is also very proud.

As for Lin Ruhai, he took it for granted.In his words, he is already much better than others, and when others have to work hard to earn a chance to seal the country, he doesn't need to worry about it.What's more, His Majesty the Emperor spread out the map in front of him and asked him to choose it himself.

If he can't even build his own feudal country, then even if he is given a ready-made one, will he be able to convince his subordinates?If he is ostracized and becomes a puppet king, then it's better not to embarrass his imperial brother as soon as possible!

Seeing Lin Kun's excited and apprehensive application, Lin Yu smiled slightly and said, "There are usually men in the army, so don't worry about your studies. But, which army do you want to go to?"

Lin Kun counted with his fingers. He didn't even need to think about the army that was attacking Russia in the north. He didn't mention it before, but he was refuted by the emperor himself.Originally, he wanted to go to Penglai to see what his future feudal state would look like in advance.However, after what Lin Yu said just now, he changed his mind: "I want to go to India. I heard that there are often conflicts between us and the UK?"

It's not huge, but it does exist.It can only be said that interests are too important for those businessmen to be worth taking frequent risks.

After Lin Kun decided to go to India, everything should be prepared for him.He is not completely a soldier, at least the superior officers know that there is such a special reserve soldier in the training academy.There is no way, the heirs of the royal family are very difficult today, and each one is very precious.

Those sergeants would not feel that they had taken over a hot potato because of this, after all, he was there for exercise, not for fun.As long as safety is guaranteed, the rest can be treated as an ordinary soldier.

Isn't there an Eldest Prince in the Royal Academy who is still hidden in the mist? Could it be that because they know that there is an Eldest Prince among their students, those gentlemen don't need to go to sleep and get hungry?It is precisely because they don't know that they have no choice but to treat all students equally, and then make stricter requirements.

What if the eldest prince returns to the palace, His Majesty the Emperor inquires and finds that the progress of the eldest prince is not as expected?Everyone in the country knows that His Majesty the Emperor is a person who can win six yuan in a row, and he was worshiped as a star of Wenqu in his early years.Until now, the statues of Wenqu stars enshrined in the Qingfeng Temple outside the capital still have the look of the emperor.Because of this clay body statue, the annual incense in Qingfeng Temple is a bit more prosperous than other houses.

Therefore, this year's students can be said to be the most responsible group, and they even chanted the slogan of not being left behind in private.In this way, even some naughty boys with clear heels and feet are made miserable, to the great joy of the grown-ups in their families.To make friends with the eldest prince is to think about it in private, but the progress of the boy in the family can be seen.

"When will this day be the end!" The grievance on the face of a young gentleman holding a teacup is almost dripping, but he is a blond and white-skinned Westerner, because the job in the Royal Academy Just got my citizenship.But seeing him wearing plain dark clothes and looking bookish, no one thinks that he is not a citizen of the empire.

The Royal Academy stipulates that each child chooses at least one foreign language to learn, and finally it must be included in the annual assessment.The young man is this year's English teacher, and his job was very leisurely.There are only a few children in the Royal Academy, and each person's choice is different, and the number of points will be even less.

Today's Britain is not the country that defeated Spain and established maritime hegemony, so young people have always been idle.The busiest is the French teaching, and they have the largest number of people.

"I haven't complained yet!" Mr. Mathematics appeared in the office holding a large stack of homework, followed by a boy with a shy smile, who also had a large stack of homework in his hand. The gentlemen smiled, turned and ran happily.

The gentlemen in the room looked at the delicate-faced child with complicated expressions. This was one of their guesses.After all, His Majesty's "famous name" is well known to the world, and the child born must go somewhere.However, they all only saw Lin Yu from a distance, and they didn't have a deep understanding of the so-called beauty.There is also no way to see the beauty inherited from the emperor's lineage from the children's unopened little faces, which is too difficult.

It’s not that I don’t know. For example, the dean of the Royal Academy, the former dean of Xishan Academy, and the emperor’s teacher, naturally saw what the emperor looked like. When Lin Yu came to inspect before, some people accompanied him. Pass.Coincidentally, among the gentlemen who taught the First Prince, none of them had their names included.

Even if someone had a good place to ask quietly, he only got an answer that he didn't dare to look at carefully.As for the celestial dean, no one dared to ask.

"Where is this?" The teacher who taught Chinese put his cup into the hands of the English teacher, and the young man grabbed the thermos in front of him and poured it into the cup.The water that was originally boiling hot is now poured out, and the temperature is just right for palate.Mr. Guowen thanked him with satisfaction, took a sip, and said, "The eldest prince sent him away, isn't there still the second prince, and it will be soon. Will the third princess go to a girls' school?" He was a little uncertain, always I think Lin Yu can do the thing of disguising the three princesses as men and throwing them in.

"Naturally go to girls' school, otherwise, wouldn't it be too easy to recognize." The numerology teacher was very sure, now there is no difference between men and women at seven years old.But the Royal Academy is still a fully closed boarding school, and they only go home once a ten-day period. His Majesty the Emperor is not going to joke about it.

"It's a good thing to say that His Majesty's heirs are prosperous." The young man couldn't help his desire to talk about it when he said so, "But I still don't want to nod next time." The term is six years, I think Just thinking about it makes me feel tired.

"This is just the prince, and there will be a prince's heir in the future." There is only one family in this dynasty, which is more expensive than the one in the puppet dynasty.Mr. Guowen continued what he had just said, "After the entrustment, the king's princes and grandchildren will also be sent here, what do you think?" So, what did he say just now.

"Maybe, I'll be used to it by then!" The young man thought desperately, hoping that his thick hair would not leave early and ruthlessly like the British envoy.

In addition to his current social circle at the Royal Academy, he also has a small circle that originally came on the same boat.They are all people who decided to settle in this beautiful country. They are different from those businessmen who will leave soon, and they don't have much intersection.

Years ago, the two big characters of enfeoffment swept across the entire country overnight, setting off a huge wave among the people.Because in theory, the feudal state only looks at meritorious deeds and does not look at family background, which makes ordinary people have one more goal to think about.

The number of people who came to enlist in the army from conscription offices in various places increased suddenly, reproducing the growth rate when they conquered the world.That's a feudal country. Generally, only when a country is going to the end and the world is competing for the throne, the heroes of the whole world will have such an opportunity.Who ever thought that at the moment when a dynasty like the Empire was just emerging, it would actually come up with the enfeoffment system.

For a while, teahouses, restaurants, and Liyuan Goulan were full of voices discussing this.Especially Lin Heng, who had just returned to China not long ago, looked at the skyrocketing meritorious service in his file with a dazed expression on his face.

Close the country?Close the country!

"Do you know how much meritorious service is needed to seal a country?" He finally came to his senses, and stopped looking at the number in front of him that excited him.This number is enough for him to be named a marquis, or a three-generation hereditary earl, which is very rich.But all of this is nothing in front of the closed country.

The official in charge of the archives had already answered many of the same questions in the past two days. He should have been very impatient, but facing someone like Lin Heng, he still smiled and replied: "There is no conclusion yet." He also wanted to I know, this must be an extremely huge number, but no matter how big it is, as long as he has something to say, it is better than not knowing anything now, but others think he is keeping it a secret and continue to stalk him.

Lin Heng nodded indiscriminately, thinking that he was in a daze.Instead of asking such a small clerk, it's better to visit Uncle Hai.Among other things, I think Brother Kun's closure of a country is a certainty.

The newspapers have made it very clear that there is still a large amount of land waiting for the people of the country to conquer, and the empire will not stop expanding until these lands are sealed off.

Such words would have caused the people of the country to panic.After all, the common people are used to a stable life, and they haven't cultivated hemorrhagic nature at this time.However, as soon as the killer weapon of Fenfeng was taken out, there was only one voice left in the whole world in an instant.

This does not just represent a limited number of kings. Can these kings still be polished commanders?They want to expand their territories, and they need not only warriors, but also literati to govern the country for them.This means countless opportunities, and in this era of being an official, it is still very attractive.

"This is exactly a terrible country." Walking out of the residence in Honglu Temple, the British and French envoys walked on the right side of the street together.They looked at the beaming expressions of all the people on the street, and the British envoy couldn't help but sigh, "It is said that the ancestors of this country thousands of years ago also used the enfeoffment system to divide their children and citizens, and this is how it is today. country."

"As expected of His Majesty the Great Emperor." Britain and France originally had a lot of filth, but now they live together in Honglu Temple and personally feel the pressure that this country puts on other countries, so that they walked together for once.There was no tension in the words at the beginning, "He could hold all these in the palm of his hand, but he chose to use them to lead the people of the entire empire. Such a handwriting is unique in the world."

Pulling out the temporary children of Gusu to seal the country one by one is fundamentally different from making the country a visible and tangible carrot in front of the people now.At least, the spirit of the country is different now.

It was also this sudden burst of power that shocked and even trembled all the envoys in Honglu Temple.

It's okay for countries like Western Europe, after all, they are far away, and they can't touch their heads.However, countries such as Jiaozhi and other countries that have been at odds with the king for a long time will inevitably have to consider their own way out.

There must be one case, it is not good to serve the suzerain, and a prince is sealed, what should they say?Resistance is impossible to resist, so is it necessary to kill at the neck?

Naturally, this is what those vassal states with a guilty conscience think so. Generally speaking, the empire is relatively generous to those vassal states that are obedient.For example, building a wharf, helping to lay rails, and building a railway system.People of insight can naturally see that this is an act of the empire to control the vassal state. However, for the royal ministers of the vassal state, the benefits they get from this are not comparable to the little gold and silver in the past.

After all, with the convenience of transportation, commerce and trade also flourished, even if the empire took a large part of it.But the total number has risen, so naturally what they get has also risen.

The royal families of these dependent countries are not like Lin Yu, who separate the royal treasury from the national treasury, and write the clause that the clan cannot embezzle the treasury into the clan law, expressly prohibiting it.For these royal families, the entire country belongs to them, and isn't the national treasury their private treasury!

They may not be unaware that the empire controls their country, but since His Majesty the Emperor has promised to let them be subjects forever, isn't this the meaning of guaranteeing their status and interests?If there is a war in the country, won't the interests of the empire here be damaged; moreover, if the royal family is changed, will they be so obedient, don't care about everything, or say nothing.

Therefore, they are very sure that keeping them is more beneficial to the empire, and then the empire will protect their safety.Since they can continue to live such a good life, why should they meddle in their own business.

As for, the empire personally sent them all to see Hades, and then closed the country again.Again, it is not in the interests of the empire.Building a feudal state from scratch and accepting a feudal state that already has a certain historical heritage in their hands are two different things.Just like what Lin Yu said to Lin Kun before, if you want to completely subdue a country with its own ancestral temple writing history, it must take two or three generations.Moreover, during the period, there will be backlash.

With this time and energy, it would be more cost-effective to occupy a few more pieces of land in the New World outside.

How well these calculations belong to the royal family, no matter how much it contains the helplessness caused by the powerful force of the empire.In short, after the main policies of this generation are decided, it will be very difficult for future generations to change them.Because the economy and culture of the empire had penetrated into every aspect of these countries, if there were any sanctions, it would be much more terrifying than the so-called sanctions imposed by the United States in Lin Yu's impression.

Therefore, this lineage model has been maintained until later generations, and remains stable.

Why didn't the French envoy envy such a model? He once thought that if he had a chance to be called king, even if it was only for one day, it would be worth it.

In fact, before coming to this country, he never thought that there would be such an operation in this world.When he thought about his own country, he found it unimaginable.No matter how good this method is, they won't be able to use it.

In Europe, the children of farmers are farmers, and the descendants of craftsmen are craftsmen; servants are servants for generations, and nobles are born nobles.This is a law engraved in the bones of people, which is difficult to break.

Unlike this country, it is said that the meritorious title system also appeared 2000 years ago.The attitude of the citizens of the empire to the change of dynasties is very reasonable, and they even went to study why the previous dynasties would change every 300 years.Therefore, when the opportunity is in front of them, everyone becomes energetic. Although some people feel that the closure of the country is too far away for them, such people are in the minority after all.

In a thriving environment, those who want to be lazy will involuntarily become diligent.This country is already powerful and frightening, but now when their power is gathered together, it is even more irresistible.

Maybe he should also consider the matter of nationality. The French envoy has made a few friends who have already obtained nationality.Their lives are much better than in the country, and according to the regulations, they can also accumulate merit points to feudalize the country.

Whether it is realistic or not, at least they are qualified.Especially after experiencing such a positive atmosphere, people will become much more positive.When a person's mentality becomes positive, life will naturally become better, and then a virtuous circle will be formed.People in it, like this French envoy, will naturally have a tendency in their hearts after feeling the charm of this part.

The two walked silently on this clean street, where they don't have to worry about dropping dung from the sky, because for this hard-working nation, these are priceless treasures of farmers, and someone comes to collect them every morning. Walk.

Here, the common people are all dressed in gorgeous clothes, and they communicate with each other in a polite manner; here, there is the most sound law in the world, and most people will consciously follow it; here, the materials are abundant, and the data reports on the court are known to the world , There is no famine in the whole country this year, and everyone can be fed and warm; here, with the most advanced technology in the world, trains have passed through the country, and researchers are still studying more esoteric content day and night; here, Everyone can study, and no one will laugh at you when you start studying. Fa Shi once saw an old lady with a happy smile on her face when she followed the elementary school students to learn how to write her name.

Here, there is the most powerful army in the world, and they are determined to give their lives for their country at any time.They are proud of being citizens of the empire, and for this pride, they have devoted their entire lives to making the empire stronger.

For the first time, the Fashi felt something called national cohesion, but it was not in his own country.

He is very willing to get this nationality, but because of this vague feeling, he hesitates whether it is not good to leave his homeland.

Finally, when he completed his mission and was about to hand over and return to China, a message from the north strengthened his inner thoughts.

Conquer Russia.

When the good news came back to China, it had just entered the tenth year of Shengyuan, and Lin Yu was also in his thirties.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the emperor lived long.He wasn't extravagant at first, and he had only held a family banquet for birthday celebrations all these years, but this time the double happiness came, and in order not to dampen the mood of the people celebrating, Lin Yu decided to organize it for the first time.

The capital city was brightly lit like thousands of sparks falling into the world, and the square in front of the imperial palace was no longer forbidden for the people to walk around freely since the dynasty was established.Now even a play shed and a juggling stand have been set up, and everyone is performing hard, and the surrounding people are also applauding from time to time.

The bright lights hang high, in different styles, as if the lantern festival of the Lantern Festival has been moved here in advance.And these lanterns will undoubtedly be hung until that day. If you are talented, you can guess the riddles above, and you can take them away if you guess correctly.

Compared with the previous years, these lantern riddles have more content about various calculations and miscellaneous items, making it even more confusing for people to guess, which shows that there are countless strange people in the folk.

Everyone stopped in front of an exquisite multi-petal glazed lotus lantern. The style of the glazed lotus lantern is nothing. What is rare is the uniform clear color of the petals that gradually fades from the inside to the outside. Even now, the price of glass has dropped significantly. is not common now.There is a little candlelight dancing in the heart of the flower, which makes the whole lamp more lively and lovely.

It is this riddle that is hateful and difficult to guess.

"The answer is 56?" Because they couldn't guess the answer, they waited aside, wanting to see who could pick up the lantern. Everyone turned around to look at the voice.I saw a foreign boy with a shy smile, and when everyone looked at him, he took a step back.

"That's right." The peddler in front of the stall said loudly with a smile on his face. When everyone heard this, they hurriedly surrounded the young man, "How about asking this young man to explain how he got it right?"

This riddle is actually not difficult, it just needs to be converted with numbers. When Newton said this, everyone understood, and after a laugh, they all dispersed.

Seeing the bewildered look on the boy's face, the peddler took down the lantern, stuffed it into his hand to carry it, and taught him how to use the machine.Newton blinked and said, "Is it true that you don't need money?" This doesn't look cheap.

Newton, who was waved away by the peddler, held the lantern in his hand and handed it to Hongling who accompanied him. It was the woman who took care of him at the customs back then, and said, "This is really a romantic country."

Hongling laughed, and was about to say something when she heard a burst of cheers, she quickly turned her head to look, and saw a few shadowy figures on the tower of the palace: "It's His Majesty's family enjoying the people!"

Following Lin Yu's appearance, everyone waited eagerly, and saw the fireworks on the mountain not far away soaring into the sky, and finally bloomed in the night sky.

"It's really the east wind that puts flowers on thousands of trees at night." The eldest prince, who had disappeared beside the queen for a long time, looked at the sky and murmured, then looked at the extremely beautiful city below that was illuminated by thousands of bright lights, and suddenly turned his head and said to Lin Yu , "This is to bring peace to all generations!"

Looking at the picturesque country, Lin Yu finally relaxed his brows and smiled lightly.
