Xinshun 1730

Chapter 797 Prepare for the run
Liu Yu thought it was a good thing that Lao Tzu was married, and he played a lot of tricks on the bed, which was enough to prove that he was not a father-in-law.Otherwise, just listen to Pai's errand, a full-fledged former eunuch...

It was also thanks to Liu Yu's lack of elegance all along that the emperor was able to arrange this matter.Otherwise, if you change your normal thinking at this time, you will probably feel that this is an insult, and if you have a temper, you may just take off your official uniform to express that you are going to retire.

It sounds like a noble duke was arranged according to the "humble" status of a member of Huangshangshe.

However, the emperor had tasted the sweetness in it, and knew how much interest was in it. He really wanted Liu Yu to be his money bag, and he felt that he was different from the former Huangshangshe people.

The emperor wasn't wary of Liu Yu's military power, and tricks like releasing military power with a glass of wine didn't have to be played in Dashun.Only the early Song Dynasty, which had just ended the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Rebellion, needed to do this.

The main thing in the emperor's heart was still the fear of the unknown future.

He can feel that the world is changing, the world is changing, both inside and outside are changing.

But he didn't know how many of these changes were good and bad, how many were beneficial to the Li family dynasty, and how many were harmful to the Li family dynasty.

After all, the fear of the unknown made the emperor wish to keep these changes within a range he could control.

During Liu Yu's visit to Europe, the emperor also tried to let others take over those emerging industries, only to find that he could do it administratively, but he didn't understand the technology.

In a short period of time, there was nothing that made the emperor feel that there was anything uncontrollable.

Mining development in the Liaodong area and coal mining in the Gyeonggi area, although a large number of hired workers gathered, there was no trouble in a short period of time.

At most, there were a few troubles such as asking for more wages, asking for more money for drinks, but the troubles were not too big.

Regarding some political history in Europe, the emperor removed the information channels monopolized by Liu Yu's selection, and knew a little more.

But after reading it, I think that's the case, and for the time being, it doesn't look like there's anything worth guarding against.

The emperor felt that France and Russia, which Dashun was most familiar with, could be completely suppressed by the monarch; in the eyes of the emperor, Holland was rotten; The set of monarchs and ministers discussing politics".

In addition, Liu Yu made a fuss in Europe, and the emperor felt that this French country, with such centralized power, must be the most powerful state in the West. In the future, it is impossible for French people to follow the ambition of the first emperor.The Netherlands will end sooner or later.When France unifies the western barbarians and becomes like Qin's foundation, the astonishing methods of discussing government in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom will disappear in smoke.

Apart from politics, what I am curious about is the taxation system of Western countries, to see how they received so much money.Calculated according to the ratio, if Dashun is based on the ratio of British treasury revenue, wouldn't the world be turned upside down?

After thinking about it, it seems that the difference lies in business and overseas trade.

On this point, he and Liu Yu have completely different ideas.

Liu Yu felt that the biggest problem was inside.

If it is just the so-called industry and commerce and maritime trade, then it is just looking at the appearance.

The emperor couldn't see clearly, and Liu Yu also knew that he was unable to solve the big internal problems, so he could only pin his hopes on the two new classes who were both external and internal.

Because of the emperor's arrangement, although Liu Yu complained in his heart that this is simply a former eunuch, if someone else has a bit of temper and integrity, if he heard that he was going to be in charge of attracting investment and setting up industries to collect business tax and mining tax, he would have bumped into him earlier. died; but on the whole, I am still satisfied with the emperor's arrangement.

The emperor was also quite satisfied with Liu Yu's performance, and he also understood that although he knew how big the benefits were inside and how important the matter was, from the outside, it was indeed a bit of an "insult".

Then Liu Yu's words made the emperor more satisfied with Liu Yu's performance.

"Since your Majesty has a sacred order, how dare I not use my strength? It's just that I don't want to be stationed in the south of the Yangtze River and beg to live in the capital. Now that the boats are fast, I only need to go to the south of the Yangtze River for a few months every year to arrange some matters. For the rest of the time, please come back Jing serves His Majesty."

It sounds like Liu Yu doesn't want to leave the center of power.

But in fact, what these words mean is that I don't want to be in a place so as not to lose my tail, and I don't stay at the festival. I just run errands and run errands, just like the governor of the previous dynasty.If you are not stationed at the local festival, you are still in the capital most of the time, and you will not expand your power in the local area.

The same words, when spoken by people with different identities, have different meanings.

Civil officials are afraid of leaving the center of power, and they are also afraid of things such as keeping filial piety. After three or five years, when they come back, they will change secretly, and people are neither things nor things.

If there is nothing wrong with nobles, especially military nobles, it is best not to go to the place to stay permanently, otherwise it will be complicated, and even if there is no emperor, they will worry.Staying in the capital, regardless of Dashun's military system and checks and balances, Xungui is no threat at all in the capital.

As far as Liu Yu's embarrassing feats, contributions, and abilities are concerned, if he really invites him to be "Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate Chief Protector", the emperor will be upset.

Staying in the capital is different.

How did the emperor not know what Liu Yu meant, and when he heard that Liu Yu was taking the initiative to avoid Li Xia in the melon field, he said with a smile: "What I'm concerned about is that Ai Qing has already joined the army before he can reach the weak crown. Now that the enemy has been eliminated and Nanyang has fallen, I feel that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and it is a good place of first-class quality. It is for Aiqing to enjoy it."

"However, what Aiqing said is also reasonable. Although the enemy has been eliminated and Nanyang has been settled, there are still many things around. Aiqing is so quick-witted and has unusual ideas, which often makes me suddenly enlightened. If Aiqing is true I am stationed in the south of the Yangtze River, and I don’t return all year round. If something important happens, I really don’t know who to ask.”

"Alright, then let Aiqing work hard and run north and south."

"Indeed, this time is different from the past. In the past, from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River, the round trip took as little as three months and as many as half a year. Now, if there is a smooth wind, it will only take ten days."

"In the old days, I still want Aiqing to be stationed in Jiejiang to supervise business and industry."

Liu Yu took the initiative to give a step, and the emperor also followed this step, following the general process: first negate, then think, and finally affirm.This matter is that the emperor wants to go to the place where he is stationed, but you don't want to, so the emperor will be kind and agree with you.

Taking advantage of this step, Liu Yu said again: "I am grateful for your majesty's kindness. I still have a merciless request, and I also ask your majesty for your permission."

The emperor was straightforward, seeing that Liu Yu himself knew to back off, and said with a smile: "Ai Qing just talk."

"Return to Your Majesty. In the past, the minister and his wife once took a hot air balloon to watch the sunset and the sea of ​​clouds. They lamented the magic of creation and the infinite scenery of the world. At that time, the minister's wife wanted to travel together again. Under the dangerous wall, so as not to lose the body to serve the monarchy and society."

"The minister was not as weak as the crown, so he joined the army. It has been twenty years since the white mountains and black waters, the yellow sands of the Western Regions, the Japanese islands of the East, and the sea waves of the South Seas."

"Now the world is at peace, and the country has no great enemies. The minister thinks that the big thing is done."

"I don't want to eat and wear extravagant clothes. I only like the world's scenery and natural scenery. The hot air balloon agreement in the past is now time to fulfill it."

"Yes, please, give me a holiday every year, and take my wife to enjoy the famous mountains and rivers..."

The emperor was stunned by this strange request at first, and then his heart was slightly touched.

If it is someone else, it seems to be venting dissatisfaction, demonstrating to the emperor, expressing displeasure, some things cannot be done without Lao Tzu, why not rearrange?
But Liu Yu is different.

These things Liu Yu said, the emperor either heard of them, or sent people to investigate, or showed them consistently for more than ten years.

The dialogue on the hot air balloon is not mentioned.

The emperor absolutely believed that Liu Yu liked famous mountains and great rivers and world scenery.

When others accept gifts, they all accept some treasures to play with.

But Liu Yu accepts gifts, and everyone in the capital knows that he likes special plants, animals, and stones from various places, which are not worth much.

This matter can be regarded as a stalk in the Dashun army.

In this regard, the emperor firmly believed that even if one person cheated, it was impossible for him to cheat for more than ten years.

And this kind of falsification is meaningless, not because Liu Yu wants to show his innocence... Judging from Liu Yu's learning of practical learning and the practical learning skills he showed, the emperor absolutely believes that Liu Yu really likes these weird things .

Now that Liu Yu said such a "real reason", how could the emperor not believe it?

After believing it, think about what Liu Yu said, when you are young, you start to join the army.I have never been to the northeast, northwest, east, and southeast except for the southwest, and I have traveled almost all over the frontier.

It's all hard.

After more than ten years of hard work, there is indeed no one in the court.

Thinking about Liu Yu's ambition back then, it seems that it has indeed been achieved now, and the country has no foreign troubles.

The remaining foreign enemies are all too far away to reach; the remaining expansions are all too weak to require him to lead the army himself.

It is not an exaggeration to say "the big thing is done".

It sounds like he wants to study and ask for resignation, abandon everything in the world, concentrate on cultivating the Tao and nourishing the essence, believe in the learning of Huang Lao, live in peace and practice energy, and want to lighten his body and become a fairy.

But it seems that they can't let go of the fledgling academy of sciences and industry and commerce after all.After all, in addition to the scenery of the world that Liu Yu talked about, everyone in the court knew that Liu Yu's other interest was practical learning and the principles of the universe.

So I made such a request.

The emperor's heart was touched.

It is lamented that a man of temperament like Liu Yu is just a courtier after all, who runs away when he is tired, retires when he is successful, and begs if he has the heart to travel the mountains and rivers.It's not like me, it's like being trapped in this palace, it's not easy to go anywhere, even if you go out for a walk, how can it be as easy as Liu Yu?
Although it is really impossible for him not to be the emperor.But things are everywhere, and there is a slight exclamation and touch, but there are also them.

In addition to sighing, I also thought of Liu Yu's achievements in these years of fighting.It is said that a good fighter has no great achievements. Over the years, he has solved many foreign troubles like chopping melons and vegetables. The emperor also knew that Liu Yu had paid a lot for this and wasted a lot of effort.Such a small request is not an exaggeration.

However, soon, the emperor concealed the inner touch, and asked: "Ai Qing really thinks that the big thing has come to an end? The Nanyang affairs are settled, and there is really no need to use a sledgehammer for the Indian affairs in the future."

"But apart from foreign enemies, within the world, Ai Qing really thinks that the world will be stable and peaceful, and there will be no more troubles? I'm afraid not?"
