lied to Kangxi

Chapter 361 Yu Zhu's Foundation

When Kangxi was having breakfast, he suddenly remembered Yuzhu, and ordered: "Go, call Yuzhu."

Yuzhu came and wanted to make a big gift, but Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, come and have dinner with me."

It's just that, under the watchful eyes of everyone, it's not like getting along alone.

Yuzhu insisted on offering a big gift, and after thanking the king, he sat down at the small dining table, picked up the chopsticks, and began to enjoy the meal.

Kangxi knew that Yuzhu's breakfast was generally Cantonese style.It's just that the palace is no different from Guangzhou, it's full of northern flavors.

The breakfast meals that Yuzhu used were all ordered by Kangxi, for example, big mutton buns, red dates and imperial herbal cuisine, several pickles, sauced beef, roasted mutton and so on.

After taking a few mouthfuls of the dishes rewarded by Kangxi, Yu Zhu was already full.

The jujube imperial herbal diet, with added sugar, is quite suitable for the elderly, but Yuzhu is a guy who doesn't like sweets very much.

After dinner, Yuzhu was about to leave, but Kangxi smiled and said: "Guardian, the imperial gate is in charge of the government."

So, Yu Zhu walked beside Kangxi's shoulders and headed for the Qianqing Gate amidst the envious eyes of everyone.

Today's Qianqingmen, the autumn wind is blowing, and the air-conditioning is oppressive.

After Kangxi was ascended to the throne, the important officials of the imperial court saluted and stood up to see, good guy, Yuzhu was standing beside the emperor.

Wu Chen nodded secretly. It seemed that his disciple had taken another big step forward in the emperor's heart.

Li Guangdi blinked, hehe, today's Marquis Yu looks quite like Yue Le, Prince An of the previous dynasty.

At the beginning, before Lord Shunzhi passed away, he had already drafted an edict to pass on to Yue Le, Prince An.

If the Empress Dowager hadn't forced her to die, Prince An Yue Le would have almost inherited the throne. It can be seen that Shunzhi trusted Yue Le?
The fourth child was on duty in the palace last night, and he had just directed the extinguishment of the fire in the Hall of Harmony, and there was still a bit of smoky aura on his body.

Regarding Yuzhu's favor, the fourth child is optimistic.

After all, although Yu Zhu was not as handy as Long Kedo, he was still much better than Tuo Heqi, the prince's best friend.

Lao Ba secretly sighed, alas, Yuzhu stepped on his shoulders and climbed up to a higher position step by step, which is quite tricky.

Longkodo was secretly proud of himself. Although he gradually lost power, his own son was gaining more and more power, far more than he did back then.

Standing on the other side of Kangxi is Wei Zhu.

Liang Jiugong was in charge of dealing with the blood in front of Qianqing's gate, and his whole body was unlucky, so he couldn't follow Yumen.

Wei Zhu, an old boy, has practiced his real skills.He lowered his head, rolled up his eyelids, and he could clearly see the demeanor of everyone in the audience.

Well, the continuous rise of Yuzhu made Wei Zhu secretly vigilant, but it was just an instinct to reject those who competed for favor.

Unlike Liang Jiugong, Wei Zhu has never overshadowed Yuzhu, which lays the foundation for in-depth cooperation in the future.

By the old emperor's side, everyone is a sensible person.

Before the jade pillar could be swallowed, Wei Zhu decided to cooperate for the time being.

The resources and interests are shared among each other, and everyone's interests can be maximized.

After starting to discuss politics, Yu Zhu kept his mouth shut and made up his mind that he would never speak unless Kangxi asked.

As the general who holds the greatest military power in the capital, Yu Zhu must know how to advance and retreat, grasp the proportions of serving the emperor, and never be second to Nian Gengyao.

However, from what he heard, they were all items that cost money.

Almost in an instant, Yuzhu understood Kangxi's thoughts, I was short of money and spent it, hurry up and find the silver.

Ever since Yuzhu's lineage took over the important position of supervisor of Chongwenmen, Kangxi's private treasury has not been short of money.

However, the heart of extravagance has always been long-awaited.

In matters of money, the more the better, who would want too little?
It's just that the emperor's Nanku is abundant, and every yamen wants to borrow money.

Kangxi handled government affairs with ease.If you want to practice Tai Chi, you can do it with ease.

The attempts of the important ministers to borrow money were thwarted one by one by the old emperor.

However, Yuzhu also fully understood that Cao Yin's shipbuilding project must be accelerated.

After the dynasty was over, Kangxi called Yuzhu into Xinuang Pavilion alone, and asked him, "How long will it take for a foreign ship?"

Yuzhu instantly understood that the old emperor was anxious to get rich.

In the past, Kangxi always believed that the maritime trade with Xiyi was dispensable.

However, after Yu Zhu sorted out, the income of Guangdong Customs, even though it has been corrupted a lot, is still very considerable.

Yuzhu is an old bureaucrat, and his patience is amazing.

Sima Zhongda, how many years have you endured?

Tokugawa Ieyasu, an old ninja turtle, killed Oda Nobunaga and Hashiba Hideyoshi successively, and finally became the overlord of the shogun.

On the other hand, Li Zicheng has already entered the city of Beijing. As long as he wins over the Han landlord bureaucrats, he can lie down and win.

However, Li Zicheng couldn't hold back and drifted away.The country has not yet been firmly established, and Li Zicheng launched a desperate retaliation against the Han landlord bureaucrats.

As a result, under the joint suppression by the Qing Dynasty and the bureaucratic landlords of the Han nationality, Emperor Dashun became an intruder after only more than a month of addiction to the emperor, and finally lost his life.

Since Yuzhu was recalled to the capital by Kangxi, he never mentioned the foreign trade of Guangdong Customs.

It has nothing to do with you, you must hold it high, and you can't rush to intervene.

Some things, too anxious, but prone to bad things.

We have to wait until Kangxi is short of money, and what Yuzhu really wants to do can come to fruition.

Kangxi only wants to make money, but Yuzhu sees an excellent opportunity for overseas combat training.

In addition, Kangxi knew the truth in his heart, but deliberately did not tell the truth: the so-called Hongyi cannon and sub-mother cannon are actually outdated by the times.

Of course Yuzhu could see it more clearly than Kangxi.

The sailing battleships, naval guns, and field guns of the European foreign devils have left the Qing Dynasty far behind in terms of craftsmanship, range, and power.

What does Cao Yin know?
Ever since Neersu lost his title, Cao Yin could only rely on the towering tree of Yuzhu.

Times have changed!
Now, Yuzhu told Cao Yin to go east, he would never dare to go west.

The Yongding River is too narrow and the draft is very shallow, so only boats can be used.

When Kangxi asked Yuzhu for his opinion, Yuzhu naturally proposed a reasonable proposal to build a shipyard in Dagukou, Tianjin Wei.

Dagukou is less than [-] miles away from the capital, and the imperial army can arrive at any time.

Because the upper reaches of the Gu River are too narrow and too shallow, foreign ships with huge tonnages can at most pass through the mouth of the Gu River (Hai River) and reach the city of Tianjin Wei upstream.

If large-tonnage foreign ships continue to move westward, they will inevitably run aground in the river.

Kangxi wanted to make money. After Yuzhu left the palace, he took his entourage from Yongding River, boarded a flat-bottomed official boat with a shallow draft, and sailed towards Dagukou in Tianjinwei.

Yuzhu stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, facing the wind, feeling extremely comfortable.

Hey, with the shipyard as a cover, the gunmakers, cannonmakers, surveying and mapping and shipbuilding foreign devil technicians that Yuzhu hired from Europe with a lot of money will come into play.

According to Yuzhu's plan, the research on the metallurgical process of steelmaking must continue.

In line with the principle of talent first, several Dutch shipbuilders hired by Little William to help Yuzhu have already surveyed the terrain near Dagukou to find a suitable location for the factory.

How to build a sail-style ocean-going ship, Yuzhu is really a layman.

However, Yuzhu definitely couldn't make Zhang Zhidong's mistake.

In history, Zhang Zhidong was touted as a master of Westernization, but in fact it was absurd.

This man, also known as Zhang Nanpi, not only kept the Hanyang Iron Works away from the iron mines.Moreover, the steelmaking furnace invested heavily in the construction does not match the properties of iron ore.

Hanyang Iron Works poured down a huge amount of silver, but in the hands of Zhang Zhidong, not even a furnace of molten iron was smelted.

This is actually a classic case of bureaucrats making decisions with brains.

Zhang Nanpi is actually a typical representative of bureaucrats who do not respect the laws of science and technology.

Yuzhu was different. After he arrived at Dagukou, he fully authorized the Dutch shipbuilders in public to do whatever they wanted, and he would never intervene indiscriminately.

In fact, what Yuzhu has to manage is very simple, just four words: do a good job in logistics.

Let Alice teach shipbuilding apprentices and actively learn foreign languages ​​so that they can learn various techniques from foreign craftsmen.

The money is sufficient, the salary is paid on time, the life is guaranteed, and the wife and children can be brought in for free.

Technological light, from the west, that's a fact.

However, Yuzhu knew very well that even if the UK had a certain degree of technological blockade, it was nothing compared to the patent restrictions of later generations.

To put it bluntly, the scale of the shipyard is still small, and the shipbuilding plan given by Kangxi is only ten ships.

However, as long as the framework for climbing the technology tree is built, under the guidance of Yuzhu's macro strategy, sooner or later the flowers of modern technology will bloom!

Yuzhu himself is an expert in the field of metallurgy. He knows better than anyone else that there is no shortcut or cleverness in things like steelmaking materials.

All I can do is to do experiments in a down-to-earth manner, sum up the rules honestly, and train technical talents with all my heart.

In addition, there is a fierce burning of money.

Want to make good steel, but don't want to burn money, how can there be such a wonderful thing?
After World War II, both Germany and Japan were defeated countries, but they were able to rise again into economic and technological powers in a short period of time, relying on the correct attitude towards scientific laws and the positive accumulation of talents.

When Yu Zhu arranged everything, Cao Yin followed behind him.

However, Cao Yin never said a word, allowing Yuzhu to make decisions and make various decisions.

Today, Cao Yin is a pure ass if he doesn't rely on Yuzhu, who is in full swing, and wants to die half-heartedly!

Yuzhu stayed in Tianjin for ten days, and Cao Yin was always obedient.

In a word, Cao Yin will do what Yuzhu says.If Yuzhu doesn't let Cao Yin take care of things, he will never intervene indiscriminately.

Well, in view of Cao Yin's understanding of current affairs, Yuzhu sent someone to bring Cao Chun and Xiao Tiehammer to Dagukou.

After all, Cao Yin is a serious shipbuilder, and it is necessary for Yuzhu to win him over with family affection.
