Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 115 The Port
The private money that Dobu sent to Haifeng was actually in the hands of Chen Tingjing who was staying in the capital as early as the third day of the first lunar month.

The first month of each year is the only long holiday for officials throughout the year.But Chen Tingjing failed to go back to his hometown of Shanxi with his niece Chen Shuyi for the New Year.

He has just started to be reused by Kangxi, and he is a serious errand. He is the servant of the official department who manages officials and evaluates promotion and promotion.Secretly, they also have to keep an eye on the intelligence work on the Chaktu River in the north.

This "worker" during the Kangxi period had no choice but to "work overtime".

The battle is changing rapidly, and the enemy will not wait for you to have a good year before drawing their swords.

From September of last year to the first month of this year, during the three or four months, Dobu had heard a lot of news about the Raksha Kingdom, but because he didn't dare to act too frequently under Galdan's nose, he took advantage of the excitement at the end of the year to cover up the letter. Secretly sent to the capital.

Kangxi did not slack off because of the New Year. After hearing the letter, he immediately summoned his younger brother Prince Gong Changning, elder brother Prince Yu Fuquan, and Chen Tingjing who knew the inside story to the Qianqing Palace for discussion.

The most important place is naturally Yaksa City.

Luo Sha is not an incompetent person, they are also trying to deal with Kangxi's many actions in Heilongjiang.

After Dobu's letters were passed on among the four people one by one, in the South study room, no one spoke for a while.

Because no one fully understands it.

Including Kangxi.

More than [-]% of the letters were about the discord between Rakshasa and Poland, and the conflict between Princess Sophia, who is now in charge of Rakshasa Kingdom, and her two younger brothers, Ivan and Peter.

Kangxi read these letters over and over again, pondered for a long time, and gradually realized some meaning.

"I remember that there is a world map drawn by the missionary Matteo Ricci in the warehouse. Chang Ning, take my hand letter to pick it up yourself, and don't disturb anyone."

"Yes."

When Prince Gong came back, Chen Tingjing took the candlestick with great eyes, and carefully illuminated the map according to Kangxi's instructions.

After Kangxi studied it carefully, he was sure of everything, and then he explained his thoughts to the other three.

"Sun Taiji, the eldest son of the Tuxietu Khan, sees very far. These letters from him are intended to advise me: not only to take down the city of Yaksa, but also to find a way to control the border east of the Udi River .Because the situation is really like this, the Raksha Kingdom will probably be anxious and choose to give in when it comes to helping Junggar."

Seeing that the three of them still didn't know much about it, he had no choice but to explain it in detail.

"The Rakshasa is located in a bitter cold, and the products are not abundant. It is difficult to survive without exchanges with other countries and trade. You see in this picture, the Rakshasa is surrounded by many countries, and they are everywhere. They are now, If you want to open up commercial routes on the sea, you have a port in your hand. The east is making things difficult for us, and the west is making troubles with Poland and other countries. Chen Tingjing, tell me."

Prince Yu then took the candlestick so that it would be convenient for Chen Tingjing to answer.

"Under the order of the emperor, I placed detailed work in the Shanxi merchants in the Chaktu River. With the help of the eldest grandson Taiji, it went very smoothly. The merchants of the Raksha Kingdom were wary of us at first, but they were a little more relaxed towards the Mongols. So the eldest grandson Taiji First use cattle and horses and other large animals to exchange tea and porcelain from Shanxi merchants; then use the exchanged goods to exchange gold and furs from Raksha merchants. He is in the middle, and at least [-]% of the profit will be added. After a few times, the Raksha people wake up When I came here, I secretly contacted Shanxi merchants and asked to do business directly, and people got involved."

Every time Chen Tingjing said a few words, Kangxi nodded and explained to the two princes and brothers.

"Business is the same everywhere. Some people resell in the middle, and the income at hand decreases, and the master behind it will be unfair. I think that Luo Sha should have encountered such incidents in the west, so he did not hesitate to use military force to fight. Go to the sea to do business directly with the nations. For example, France, England, Holland."

Prince Gong Chang Ning has always had only idle jobs, living on a salary, and outside the country, what is going on in the world today, he is dizzy for a while and has no idea.

"It's true, every family has their own difficult scriptures. In the Qing Dynasty, we only thought that there were too many ports to manage, and the emperor was always trying to prevent foreigners from coming in to make trouble. Fortunately, they fought for a port. Bleeding out."

Chang Ning's words were upside down. Although there were many mistakes, they also eased the solemn atmosphere a lot.Kangxi's tense nerves gradually relaxed.

The four of them drank tea first, and then proceeded to discuss.

Prince Yu is better than his younger brother, Prince Gong. He has served in the army all year round, and his views are slightly higher.

"Yaksa City has complex terrain and fine river network. If you are not a local, it is impossible to know thoroughly. The products are only ginseng and mink fur, and the food needs to be supplemented. It is easy to take it down, but it is difficult to send people to garrison it for a long time. Mr. Chen In charge of money and food, you should know that the garrison is actually losing money after a year. Even if it is like this here, the Udi River is even more difficult. Does the emperor really plan to send troops there?"

Chen Tingjing is not very clear about other things in the army, but he often reads the account books and agrees cautiously.

"Whether to fight or not, I still can't make up my mind for a while. Chen Tingjing will stay later and help me write a secret decree to Sabusu on the front line, so that he can find a way to find out the reality of the Udi River. These places in the extreme north In December of a year, there are six or seven months of freezing. If the food does not grow, I will post some money at worst. The main reason is that the soldiers stationed suffer. Sabsu often reports that front-line soldiers freeze off their fingers in winter. There are even those who lost their hands and feet from the cold. Hurry up and settle the matter of Rakshasa, let them withdraw, so as not to suffer there."

The three of them stepped out quickly, praising Kangxi Zhai for his benevolence.

When it was time to leave the palace, the two princes resigned, and Chen Tingjing stayed to help draft the decree.

Seeing that Kangxi looked pretty good, Chen Tingjing tentatively told him the good news first so that it would be convenient for him to intercede for Haifeng slowly.

"Your Majesty, the eldest grandson Taiji Tuochen sent a message, asking if you want to do some business in private?"

"Business?"

"Yes. When the accounts were settled at the end of the year, Chen Tong realized that doing business with the Raksha people is a sure way to make a profit. Especially tea, no matter what its quality or quantity, as long as it is transported, it can be sold immediately, and there is no need for a warehouse. The exchanged furs are shipped to Fujian and Guangdong for resale, and they can make a profit. Excluding all kinds of losses, the profit is at least 8000 to [-]%. In such a short period of time, the profit has already been [-] to [-] taels."

After hearing this lucrative business, Kangxi was really moved.

"Aiqing is good at this, let's talk about it."

"Yes. Since I am in the household department, it is inevitable that I am good at calculating. I ask the emperor to forgive me. If the money spent by the treasury on the Raksha people can be doubled from them, then it seems that the stationed in the Udi River There will be no loss.”

　About the Udi River, it would be the length of a dissertation if it were detailed.Here is a brief introduction for readers:

　　A rough understanding is that if the east of the Udi River is controlled by Kangxi, then Luo Sha will not be able to go out to sea from the east, and can only force himself to the west. That is very passive, so Luo Sha will never agree.

　　The Nerchinsk Treaty in the history textbook, the Latin original text is that this area is to be determined, and it has not been determined who it belongs to.

　　What I write is a novel. Although I try to write it according to history, I cannot guarantee that it is 100% historical fact, and it fills a lot of imagination.If readers are interested, you can search for it.Sometimes history is really interesting and inextricably linked.On the surface, seemingly unconnected events can actually be connected to each other when you think about it carefully.
