lied to Kangxi

Chapter 429
Kangxi asked Yuzhu: "Is it appropriate for five large ships to transport defective porcelain?"

Yuzhu spread his hands and said, "Old man, you don't buy silver, what can I do? It just so happens that there is a large amount of defective imperial porcelain preserved in the imperial kiln in Jingdezhen. The defective products you don't like , but it is a rare treasure in the eyes of the kings of the foreign countries, and they must be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it."

In this era, the Qing Dynasty had three monopoly killers for overseas trade, one was tea, the other was porcelain, and the third was silk.

Previously, the porcelains for foreign trade were mainly official kilns and private porcelains fired by folks. Naturally, the quality was far inferior to the imperial kilns in Jingdezhen.

Maybe Yuzhu's flattery was very comfortable. Kangxi smiled and said: "What did you say last time? Oh, yes, a white wolf with empty gloves. Well, if you really got a wolf, in exchange for a few hundred I will not hesitate to reward ten thousand taels of silver."

Taking advantage of Kangxi's joy, Yuzhu said right away, "Old man, if you really want to reward him, let's give him a first-class reward?" He is not short of money, and it is impossible for him to be promoted again for the time being.

"Hey, little hozen, are you brave enough? Grace comes from above, understand?" Kangxi counted the jade pillars on his lips, but he was satisfied in his heart.

It's just a first-class job, but you can get millions of taels of silver every year, which one is more important, do you still have to ask?

Kangxi has become accustomed to haggling with Yuzhu.

When did Yu Zhu stop bargaining, that would be called a rare thing.

"Women I reward you are still obedient?" Kangxi asked Yuzhu casually.

Yu Zhu said with a smile: "Ms. Qian is the most obedient and obedient."

Kangxi sighed softly, and said: "Oh, I told you to get there first..." The aftertaste was endless.

Yuzhu knew in his heart that if Kangxi met Qian Shi first, he would definitely strike first.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were many beauties, but young literary and artistic women like Qian who were born in a top scholarly family and were extremely handsome were actually very rare.

After chatting about some gossip, Kangxi asked Yuzhu again: "The five boats of imperial porcelain are all sold in one place. I'm afraid it will affect the price?"

Yuzhu smiled slightly and explained: "Old man, don't worry about my work. I have already ordered that every time I go to Nanyang City, I can only sell three boxes of imperial porcelain, and I must not sell more. After all, things are rare. Why is it expensive?"

Kangxi nodded frequently, this theory is very good!

In fact, Kangxi only had a half-knowledge.

But Yuzhu knew that the total population of the Nanyang countries and Sanguo, no matter how underestimated, was [-] million people.

In today's Southeast Asia, there are countries such as Annan, the Kingdom of Cambodia, the Gongbang Dynasty (Myanmar), the Spanish Philippines, the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia), and Malaya.

As for the three pots, after the collapse of the Mughal Empire, it split into more than a dozen states, the largest of which was the Marat Alliance.

The British Empire was able to dominate the world, and Sanguo was actually the most critical blood transfusion machine.

After the death of Kangxi and Yuzhu took control of the political power, there are two imminent strategic choices, one is to destroy the Junggar Khanate, and the other is to set off a frenzy of shipbuilding, and then snatch the colonial power of Sanguo and cut off the British. blood vessel.

Before the Suez Canal was opened, the British fleet had to detour around the Cape of Good Hope in Africa if it wanted to come to Sanguo.

This is more than three times farther than the Qing Dynasty's journey from Hainan to India.

In terms of strategy, the Qing Dynasty went to Sanguo, in addition to the sea route, there was also a land route.

The Khyber Pass, in the history of the Three Pots, is an eternal pain.

With Faji's restraint, no matter how powerful the British fleet is, it is impossible to transfer all of them to Sanguoyang.

To put it bluntly, as long as you seize this strategic opportunity and take the opportunity to rule the whole territory of Sanguo, this is the foundation of sincerity to dominate the world!
Think about it, what a great feat it is to have all the central hinterland of the Eurasian continent, from Sanguoyang in the south, to the Khyber Pass in the west, and to the Tangnu Wuliang Sea in the north, in the hands of Lord Zhu?
However, before the time came, Yu Zhu was still very young and had enough patience to wait quietly for the day when Kangxi fell down.

"You don't intend to earn some money?" Kangxi raised the teacup and asked Yuzhu with a smile.

Yuzhu sneered endlessly in his heart, this is a proposition, if he doesn't answer well, he will fall out of favor.

"To tell you the truth, old man, no matter how insane I am, I can't steal the profits of the internal treasury." Yu Zhu is telling Kangxi that all the profits from overseas trade are your old man's money.

Kangxi smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Look back, I will give you a day off, so that Mrs. Qian can give birth to a fat boy for you earlier." He felt extremely comfortable.

"Hey." Is there anything more enjoyable than picking up girls by order?

In essence, Kangxi adopted a repellent attitude towards overseas trade.

However, because of the existence of the Junggar Khanate, the Qing Dynasty urgently needed to reserve war funds, so Kangxi acquiesced in the existence of several major customs.

Yuzhu's approach happened to touch Kangxi's weakness, that is, the income from overseas trade was all Kang Mazi's internal treasury profits.

In a word, how could Kangxi agree to carry out overseas trade in Dagu without giving enough sweetness?
The opening and banning of the sea by the Qing Dynasty have always been closely related to the military situation they are facing.

When Yongzheng first came to the throne, the sea was banned for several years. As a result, several consecutive defeats were fought in the west, the treasury was emptied, and the sea ban was forced to be lifted again.

The ban on the sea in the Qianlong Dynasty was because the Junggar Khanate in the west was destroyed and continued to conduct overseas trade, fearing that the Han people would follow the foreign devils and learn badly.

Yuzhu's approach, in essence, is to get what he needs from Kangxi.

Kang Mazi enriched the internal treasury and had money to fight the Junggar Khanate. This was the highest priority of the imperial court.

Yuzhu took advantage of the opportunity to train local shipbuilders, trained a small team of gunmakers, and trained overseas trade teams, such as captains, first mates, helmsmen and sailors, etc.

As long as the technology tree continues to climb, it will bear fruit sooner or later.

When Yuzhu was about to leave, Kangxi asked him again: "When the sea boat returns, what should I bring back?"

"Of course it is to transport grain. Nanyang countries ripen three times a year, and grain is not worth much. Let's buy it back in large quantities, and the Hubu warehouse in Tongzhou can be more substantial." Yuzhu knew that this method was very uneconomical, but Because Kangxi loves this mouthful, he can only pinch his nose and speak plausibly.

Kangxi nodded frequently involuntarily, and said appreciatively: "Agriculture and food are the foundation of all industries. You have done a good job, and I am very relieved."

After coming out of Changchun Garden, Yuzhu sat in the carriage and drank tea comfortably.

If you want to make reforms, you must stand on Kangxi's standpoint and fully consider him. Only then will he support Yuzhu to germinate technology and continue to carry it on.

Why did the Reform Movement of [-] in history inevitably fail?

To put it bluntly, Weng Zhongtang and Guangxu were too naive, imagining that reforms would succeed overnight.

But the problem is, mobilizing the interests of the upper class is more hateful than killing their parents!
However, the Reform Movement of [-] did not win the support of grassroots grassroots.

Because, the slavish education that has been continuously strengthened in the past 2000 years has led to a serious consequence. To move the grassroots people's minds is to dig their ancestral graves.

Back then, when the Qing Dynasty was gone, the grassroots dared not immediately cut off the pigtails on the back of their heads.

Yuzhu's technological innovation is carried out in a subtle and silent manner, which greatly benefited Kangxi, but at the same time did not touch the interests of any Manchurian dignitaries.

This is the sensible and reasonable way to do it!

After returning to the Qing Mansion, Yuzhu reviewed the official documents in hand, picked up the teacup, and accidentally found that Qian Yinglan was peeking at him.

When Yuzhu looked over, Qian Yinglan hurriedly lowered her head, fearing that Yuzhu would notice.

Yuzhu couldn't help smiling slightly, this woman, as long as she has that level of intimate relationship, her nature will be completely different.

Everyone knows that bandits are not a good thing, but Mrs. Yazhai, who was robbed by the bandit leader, has hardly heard any rumors of committing suicide.

Most of the women who were robbed chose to be humiliated and obedient, and then evolved into accomplices of the bandit leader.

To put it bluntly, after Mrs. Yazhai was taken over by the bandit leader, she experienced an astonishing change psychologically, and she was prone to the emotion of breaking the pot.

Why?

Under the strict etiquette, as long as a woman is snatched away by bandits, even if she is not abandoned by the family, she will always be poked at the spine, pointed and cursed.

In a word, the cold public opinion environment is extremely unfavorable to this kind of woman, and there is no room for her to live normally.

A woman who has no way out should not be underestimated if she becomes ruthless!

When bullying Alice, in the end, she was the one who ate up the jade pillar and wiped it out, leaving no scum left.

Qian Yinglan is different, Yuzhu has gained a great sense of accomplishment with her.

What that melodious and long singing voice means to a man, those who don't understand it are all kiddos.

Yu Zhu put down the teacup on purpose, and while Qian Yinglan was refilling her tea soup, he suddenly wrapped her arms around her waist.

Qian Yinglan struggled a few times, but when she saw that she couldn't break free, she gave up and fell docilely in the man's arms.

Her body was completely occupied by Yuzhu, and she still threw herself into her arms. If she continued to resist, would it be interesting?

Yuzhu still likes this kind of flirtatious flirtation, he really wants to ask: Master's kung fu, how is it better than your former man?

However, a person needs face, and a tree needs bark. Once this question is asked, Qian Yinglan will definitely feel ashamed and feel extremely uncomfortable.

What is the trouble?

"The matter of Zhezi, when I met today, I just mentioned a few words, and I was reprimanded. Alas, it is difficult!" Yuzhu is an old bureaucrat, and he can be described as It's perfect.

Qian Yinglan's delicate body suddenly froze, like a frozen beauty, completely frozen.

After a while, perhaps because she had figured it out, she took the initiative to wrap her arms around Yu Zhu's neck, and begged with a trembling voice, "Master, please, please find a way to save the servants' relatives."

"Well, I'm tired, let's wait for the bath." Yuzhu calmly cited the beauty of the mandarin duck.

"Master, all servants are at your command." Qian Yinglan nodded shyly, but bravely, let Yu Zhu hold her, and entered the clean room.
