lied to Kangxi

Chapter 528 White Dragon Fish Clothes
In summer, the banner people in the capital cannot live without sesame paste.

Indeed, whether it is a small cold dish or cold noodles that every family must eat in summer, sesame paste is an indispensable taste for the people of the imperial capital.

"Xin Chuan Noodle Shop" from the imperial capital, his cold noodles taste smooth and chewy. In addition to being slightly sweet in the mouth, the sauce is mixed with a hint of mustard.

For their cold noodles, put a large basin on the counter and put them directly on the plate, so they won't become lumpy after a long time.

In the sultry summer, eating a bowl of sesame sauce noodles mixed with mustard will definitely make you forget what it feels like to "lack of appetite".

In addition to their cold noodles and fried noodles, Kangxi loves their hot and sour melon strips the most.

This kind of hot and sour melon strips, the moisture of the cucumber is killed, it tastes not only crisp but also a little bit more chewy, sour, sweet, spicy and super refreshing, paired with cold noodles with sesame sauce, oh you, it is simply Perfect match!
When Kangxi and Yuzhu were sitting and eating noodles, the proprietress of the noodle shop said in a sweet and crisp voice while serving the noodles: "Gentlemen, the fried sauce in this shop is freshly fried every day, and the noodles default to 'guotiao'." ’, you can tell in advance if you need water. A bowl of noodles costs [-] Wen, and you can also refill the noodles and sauce for free, and eat Laba garlic for free, so you can eat your fill!”

After eating the noodles, Kangxi sighed and said, "If there is another big bowl of 'Snowflake Cheese' that you have promoted, it will really nourish you!"

Snowflake cheese, also known as local method ice cream, is to use a planer to shave natural ice out of ice chips, then pour it with fruit cheese (dried fruit), red fruit cheese and thick sour plum soup, stir it with a stick in a wooden barrel or porcelain basin, and then pour it into In the cup, half drink and half chew.

What Yuzhu improved was the planer, which increased the efficiency of shaving ice by more than ten times.

"Old man, your stomach is not suitable for eating food that is too cold." It was impossible for Yuzhu to let the old emperor mess around.

Because, as long as the old emperor eats too much cold food, he will have diarrhea.

The emperor's diarrhea is no small matter, and it is very likely that the world will collapse.

"You little bastard, you are too lazy to die, and you still like to control me. You are not allowed to eat this, and you are not allowed to eat that, just starve to death." The old emperor acted like a child, and he was more rascal than anyone else.

"This master, your grandson is really filial. My sons, who cares what I eat?" Just as Yu Zhu was arguing with the old emperor, someone suddenly interrupted.

Yu Zhu turned his head and saw a very tall old man wearing a Liuhe hat and a blue silk shirt, looking at them with a smile.

When the old emperor was present, it was naturally impossible for Yu Zhu to speak first.

The old emperor just came to have a chat, so he put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, clasped his fists and said: "My surname is Huang, and I do business in the capital. My brothers are the best of the best, and my servants call me "Master Huang San."

"It turned out to be Master Huang San. It's a pleasure to meet you." The old man in the blue shirt bowed his hands and introduced politely, "It just so happens that I am a lowly businessman from Wujiabao in Taigu, Shanxi Province. His surname is Wang. The name is Xiangqing."

Wang Xiangqing?Yuzhu has no impression at all, and has never heard of this name before.

However, a middle-aged man next to Wang Xiangqing who looked like a shopkeeper introduced him very politely, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Huang San, this is the boss of our Da Sheng Kui."

Oh, this is a clear truth.

However, Kangxi was still at a loss. He had no idea what Da Shengkui did.

Naturally, Yuzhu knew very well what Da Shengkui did.However, he didn't know that Da Shengkui's boss was called Wang Xiangqing.

Because, under the order of Kangxi, Yuzhu took action and slaughtered the whole family of Erfu Garzang.

Yuzhu had to cover the aftermath of Princess Heshuo Duanjing, so all the commercial routes from Rehebei were blocked by the new army.

Unexpectedly, after the army blocked the road, they ran into Wang Xiangqing in the noodle shop.

It was a chance encounter, and Wang Xiangqing's conversation was not bad, so Kangxi became interested and invited Wang Xiangqing to the teahouse for a talk.

Wang Xiangqing was idle anyway, so he readily agreed.

When there were no outsiders, Yuzhu dared to put his nose on his face, smiling like the old emperor.

Since Wang Xiangqing was present, Yuzhu stood beside Kangxi very politely.

The old emperor glanced at Yu Zhu, who was very obedient and bowed his head, and said to himself, this kid is very sensible.

Yuzhu's performance really confuses Wang Xiangqing, making him mistakenly think that the old and young in front of him are real grandparents.

According to Bannerman's calculation, Kangxi is already 61 years old.However, according to the old practice of the Han people in the imperial capital, the sixtieth sixtieth birthday can only be done practically, not falsely.

In fact, the old emperor is still a few months away from turning 60.

The Thousand Seniors Banquet is also being actively prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

When eating noodles, there is too much sesame paste, which is a bit salty.

The old emperor had a dry mouth, and happened to be chatting with Wang Xiangqing while drinking tea.

"I don't know, what does Mr. Wang's family do for a living?" Kangxi wanted to find out the details of Wang Xiangqing.

Kangxi's question revealed that he was not a businessman.

In the circle of merchants in the capital, anyone who does fur business has to deal with Da Shengkui.

Seeing Wang Xiangqing staring at Kangxi with wide eyes, Yuzhu knew that the old emperor had failed by pretending to be a businessman.

However, if you pretend to fail, you will fail, and you won't lose half of your meat?

"To be honest, Mr. Huang San, you said that my account specializes in small businesses such as leather goods, tea, cotton cloth, linen cloth and silk in Uliasutai and Khobdo areas." Wang Xiangqing clasped his fists and said very politely. "Wang Xiangqing is a very personable guy.

Even if Kangxi was a fake businessman, Wang Xiangqing not only did not expose the truth, but introduced his business scope in detail.

Hearing about Uliasutai and Khobdo, Kangxi couldn't help but feel refreshed.

In the first phase of the Qing Dynasty War that Kangxi personally commanded, it was Uliasutai and Khobdo that were recovered.

Galdan, that is the Mongol most likely to take over the mantle of Genghis Khan!

If Kangxi was that cheapskate of Daoguang, not only would Uliasutai be lost, but also within three hundred miles of the imperial capital, he would always face the threat of iron heels from the Junggars.

God bless the Qing Dynasty, after the three Qing Zhun wars, because of the civil strife in Junggar, under the joint attack of Kangxi and Tseng Alabutan, Galdan shamefully committed suicide.

The map of Uliasu Terrace had already been thoroughly researched by Kangxi.

Seeing that Kangxi had mentioned the characteristics of various places in Uliasutai, especially the location of the water source, Wang Xiangqing was confused.

He is not a businessman, but he is so aware of the terrain characteristics of the Mongolian grassland. Who is this Huang San master?
Seeing that Wang Xiangqing never scratched Kangxi's itch, Yuzhu couldn't keep silent any longer. While Kangxi was drinking tea, he deliberately asked Wang Xiangqing: "Wang Dadong's family needs to thank today's illustrious martial arts for the big business."

If the skin is gone, how will the hair be attached?
If Kangxi hadn't laid down such a huge grassland territory, how could Wang Xiangqing's business become more and more popular?

You must know that the quality of business has a very direct relationship with the safety environment.

It is precisely because of the lessons learned from the defeat of the previous Ming Dynasty that no matter who the Qing army fought, the trade routes would definitely be cut off.

As long as the profiteers who dare to smuggle food and other materials are caught, they will be wiped out in the name of the enemy.

Of course, in the war with Hou Jin, the embargo policy of the Ming Dynasty on strategic materials obviously failed completely.

From Houjin to Daqing, from Laolu to Dorgon, the eight Shanxi merchants smuggled a huge amount of various materials out of Shanxi.

Relying on the various materials smuggled out of customs by Shanxi merchants, Houjin, who originally didn't even have many iron pots, thrived.

Objectively speaking, the rise of Shanxi merchants is entirely due to the geographical advantages of Shanxi.

Because Shanxi has long been the junction of farming civilization and grassland civilization, grassland nomads are a group with extremely low productivity and need to obtain a large amount of living materials from the Central Plains, which provides the basis for the rise of Shanxi merchants.

After the rise of Nurhachi's Houjin power, from Wanli to Tianqi, the Ming Dynasty had always expected to restrict the development of Houjin with economic blockade.

However, Shanxi merchants colluded with the generals of the frontier army of the Ming Dynasty, and based in Zhangjiakou, they sent military supplies such as grain and grass to Houjin through Mongolia, and even passed on information to help Houjin defeat the Ming army.

During the period of Huang Taiji, the Manchu Qing broke through the Great Wall several times and plundered a large amount of treasures and materials from Hebei, Shandong, Henan and other places.

At this time, gangs of stolen goods led by Shanxi merchants appeared. They obtained gold and silver property plundered from the people of the Central Plains from the Manchus, and then collected a large amount of food, grass and military supplies from the Central Plains, and transported them outside the customs to support the later funds.

However, Wang Xiangqing, the founder of Dashengkui, is not a traditional Shanxi merchant. He has nothing to do with the eight imperial merchants in Tonglu, Shanxi.

Wang Xiangqing was originally a poor Shanxi small businessman, because he followed Kangxi's army into Uliasutai and gradually expanded his business.

It must be admitted that Wang Xiangqing made his fortune by relying on his serious business skills.

Therefore, Yuzhu doesn't hate Da Shengkui either.

What Kangxi was interested in was the military topography of Uliasu Terrace, which he said clearly and logically.

As for Wang Xiangqing, he is only interested in the money in the pockets of the Mongols.

However, the commercial route is the military transportation line, and Wang Xiangqing can also catch up with what Kangxi said, and he can get along with him.

Unlike modern talkers everywhere, in the era of Kangxi, there were not many people who were familiar with the terrain of the prairie.

Even if it is Yuzhu, if he wants to lead his troops into Uliasutai, he must rely on the guide of the Mongols.

"Wang Dadong's family, in your opinion, between the Qing Dynasty and the Junggar, who will win in the end?" Kangxi could never care about the business operations of businessmen. He always looked at problems from the perspective of territory and population, as well as the relationship between Junggar and the Qing Dynasty. huge threat.

Wang Xiangqing put down the teacup and said very seriously: "To be honest, Mr. Huang San, you said that in the past, the victory or defeat of our Qing Dynasty was really unpredictable. However, since General Yu led his troops to take down the Hutusi Pass Afterwards, I dare to say that I will surely win the Qing Dynasty."

Kangxi glanced at Yuzhu calmly, well, the little bastard not only knows how to enjoy life, but also has a good command of soldiers in battle.

In front of the old emperor, Wang Xiangqing held the jade pillar openly.

But Yuzhu didn't show the slightest joy, and stood still without showing any trace.

"Why do you know?" the old emperor asked Wang Xiangqing curiously.
