Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 120 If the sky does not give birth to Hongli, eternity will be like a dark night.Renew?

Qianlong said kindly:
"Slow down, eat slowly."

"I'll ask the imperial kitchen to send two chefs to cook for the mission."

Smith muttered a few words while holding onions and fried sea cucumbers in his mouth.

Huang Dasheng quickly translated:

"He said that this place is like paradise, and no American royal family has ever tasted these dishes."

Hahahaha, Qianlong laughed happily again.

He also asked the French priests at the court:

"How many dishes did the European royal family eat?"

The priest was embarrassed and could only say perfunctorily:

"I've been away from my hometown for too long and don't know much about the current situation of the European royal family. About a dozen dishes, right?"

"Too shabby, no good, no good."

……

Smith gave up the chopsticks and started to do it.

Your Highness's princes and ministers snickered, thinking that they were really barbarians.

It's so rude to eat in such a rude manner.

Huang Dasheng was too nervous,
It always tastes like chewing gum and I don’t know what I ate.

This became a lifelong regret for him. After leaving the Forbidden City, he could not recall it.

Royal meal, what does it taste like?
"Giving wine."

Qianlong toasted, as did the envoys, deputy envoys, princes and ministers.

"Congratulations to the Qing Dynasty and congratulations to the Emperor."

Smith seemed to have gotten a little carried away and shouted very loudly.

The palace maid next to me almost broke her guard.

However, Qianlong was very happy, he liked this kind of fool.

"Do you like it here?"

"I like it, I like it very much."

The few words of complimentary Chinese that Smith learned unexpectedly on Xishan Island finally came into use.

Qianlong was so amused that he smiled happily.

I have a great appetite and I haven't been this happy for a long time.

Why haven't I heard of this country of Seris before?

Although this country is small, its people are simple and honest, and its royal family is very progressive.

I'm just a bit poor, so the gifts I received were quite shabby.

Except for the pure gold crown, everything else is crudely made!

However, as the Qing emperor, what he cared about was never profit, but filial piety.

……

singing and dancing,

Smith held the cup and stared directly at these women.

Some censors outside the palace couldn't help but stand up.

He was about to criticize these disrespectful behaviors, but was scared off by a look from the displeased Qianlong.

"Major Smith, how does the dance music compare to that of your country?"

Under Huang Dasheng’s random translation,

Smith misunderstood and thought he was being asked to dance.

"very good!"

He wiped it with a handkerchief, then stood up, and grabbed a palace maid amidst the screams.

We danced the haystack dance in our hometown.

After reacting, Qianlong laughed so hard that tears came out, and he was very embarrassed.

The princes and ministers outside the palace were all stunned.

The palace maid who was pulled was extremely nervous, with tears streaming down her face, thinking she was going to die today.

Smith let go of his hand in confusion.

Why are you crying?Is it because you stepped on your toes while dancing?
Qianlong smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter, I gave her to you. Keep playing music and keep dancing."

"Today, I am very happy and don't follow those rules."

then,

Smith took off his hat, revealing red hair.

He hugged the palace maid and danced a whirlwind dance.

Huang Dasheng was afraid that he would be too cautious and cause unnecessary suspicion.

also joined the ranks,

Leading the two palace maids, they danced the anti-wolf dance of their hometown.

Demons dance.

……

The Siris Mission is on fire!

It is rare in the world to make an emperor laugh so hard his stomach hurts and he feels so happy.

Their treatment in the post house has also improved.

It’s already treated like a prince.

In the yard, there are mountains of rewards.

Gold, silver and jewelry can be seen everywhere in the house.

Smith's mouth never closed again.

There is also a new problem,
No matter the time or place, I would convulse from time to time, raise my arms and shout:
"Long live, long live, I love the Qing Dynasty."

When it reached the palace, Qianlong was even more satisfied.

The mission has a busy daily schedule, including visits to the Forbidden City, firearms camp exercises, and royal gardens.

Also, learn advanced culture.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites took them to eat in the eight buildings, eight pavilions, and eight alleys in the capital.

There are also the Academy and the Confucian Temple.

Everywhere he went, Smith was shocked again and again.

It greatly satisfied everyone's psychology.

Everyone said that the country of Seris was good, well-positioned and modest.

Before I knew it, I stayed for half a month.

In the post house,
A native approached Huang Dasheng and gave him a tips bag.

"Before I came here, Master Li gave it to me and told me to open it when the day comes."

After opening,
The note reads:

"It's time to remind Qianlong to renew."

I can’t understand it. After turning it over,

On the back are small prints, densely packed with specific reminders of renewal measures.

This made Huang Dasheng sigh,
Li Yu is so wise that he is almost a demon.

……

2 days later,

Another palace banquet.

Because the mission is about to return home.

The Qing court was wary of all outsiders and did not want to stay too long.

The people from the Ministry of Rites have already hinted,

If we stay for a few more days, it would be best to return.

Otherwise, the sea weather will be harsh and it will be unsafe.

Qianlong gave Heshen a look.

He Shen understood instantly and asked kindly:

"Two envoys, do you have any other requests? Just put them forward."

"Before leaving, the king wanted a portrait of the Qing Emperor to be hung in the palace for his subjects to admire."

"I'm ready."

Qianlong was happy to satisfy such a reasonable request.

However, Smith suddenly had red eyes,
Everyone present was puzzled and confused.

He Shen asked cautiously:

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

"When we see the prosperous Qing Dynasty, we are envious. The people of Seris are miserable. Our king once cried and said, when will we be able to live like the Qing Dynasty."

Qianlong was very pleased, it was time to pretend again:
"It is very good that your king has this intention. I am certain that Siris will become a powerful country in America in the future."

"I beg the emperor of the Qing Dynasty to give me some governance experience."

The ministers were stunned and looked at the emperor.

Qianlong thought about it and felt that this issue was too big.
So he asked:
"In what ways is Siris lagging behind?"

"They are all lagging behind and are in urgent need of guidance and help from the Qing Dynasty."

……

Military Minister Yu Minzhong, who had been in a daze, suddenly opened his eyes.

Staring at this honest and silly red-haired Smith, a chill ran down my back.

Cao, he seems to be deceiving the emperor!

Hesitant to speak,

He lowered his head and carefully observed his colleagues around him.

I found that their expressions were a little uncomfortable.

Even the French priest in the court lowered his head uneasily.

Avoiding his own probing and encouraging eyes,
From the beginning, the priest was suspicious.

The mission's temperament was a bit mean.

But having been a guest in the Qing court for ten years, I know the rules here very well.

Always keep in mind the positioning of “customer”.

An official from the Ministry of Rites once told him meaningfully:
Speak less and make fewer mistakes, don’t speak and make fewer mistakes.

You, a foreigner and guest minister, may not be able to see through the water of the Qing Dynasty.

He understood this and listened to it.

then,

Taking the chopsticks, he made a cross on the sea cucumber on the plate, and then chose Mingzhe to protect himself.

Yu Min sighed in the center,

These days, even foreigners are being led astray.

Gong Gong, the emperor is really stupid, everyone else is just pretending to be stupid.

……

really,

The emperor pondered for a moment and asked:

"How much does Siris earn per year?"

"With only 10 taels of silver, I can only default on the salary of the nobles and replace it with coconuts and sea cucumbers."

Yu Minzhong almost laughed, thinking that you really dare to speak.

Qianlong, however, showed sympathy and said:
"It seems really barren."

He Shen couldn't hold himself back and asked with a smile:

"The clothes on your ambassador's body are very exquisite. There must be skilled craftsmen in the palace."

Everyone looked at it carefully,

It's true that the clothes of the envoys and deputy envoys are made of high-quality materials, and a lot of gold threads are used.

He Shen added:

"Among the gifts presented by your country, there is a pure gold crown with a luminous pearl as big as an egg inlaid on it. This gift is very precious."

He was in charge of the household department and had to stand up.

Because Qianlong waved his hand and rewarded, the household would bleed.

The bank is almost bottoming out.

……

Sure enough, Qianlong also understood what he meant.

It just hints that Siris is not that poor and still has some money.Huang Dasheng stood up:
"The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and your lords don't know that Seris is poor."

"The dress I am wearing is the crown prince's only dress. Before leaving, he said he would lend it to me because he was poor and rich."

"And this one on Smith is the king's robe."

"That luminous pearl was passed down from the king's grandfather's grandfather. The courtiers advised him not to give it away but to keep it. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty was rich all over the world and was the richest monarch in the world. He had no shortage of jewels."

Qianlong couldn't help but nod after hearing this.

Indicating you to continue speaking,

Therefore, Huang Dasheng continued sadly:

"But the king said that when you go to visit the Qing Emperor, you must be sincere and send the best treasures. I would rather everyone in the royal family wear grass skirts and coconut shells than let the envoys wear decent clothes."

"If the journey is not too far, His Majesty the King would even like to come in person to listen to the Emperor's teachings."

There was silence in the palace,
He Shen secretly screamed, it's over, he's going to bleed again.

Sure enough, Qianlong stood up and

said slowly:

"You are a royal family, what does it look like to wear a grass skirt? It is unseemly."

"I will reward you with another 1 pieces of silk and 20 taels of silver."

Huang Dasheng was upright and stood up and said:

"No, Your Majesty, you gave too much. This money is considered a loan from us."

"We will establish a written document, and when Siris becomes rich, we will return the capital with interest to the Qing Dynasty."

"Pay it off in 15 years!"

"No, 10 years, 10 years to pay it off."

……

"Okay, you are ambitious. I'm sure." Qianlong was very happy.

Yu Minzhong couldn't help but cover his face, it was over.

This money was wasted again.

By the way, these barbarians came from nowhere and are so shameless.

Aren’t you foreigners unable to bend your knees?
Don’t you hate the red tape of the Qing Dynasty the most?
The French priest also stared with wide eyes,
I am thinking hard, is it because I have been away from my hometown for too long, and is this a new popular high-end deception targeting the royal family?
What country are these guys from?

First of all, let’s exclude people who are smart and whose jokes are not funny. They don’t have that taste.

France?
No, the proud Parisians disdain to cheat, but the provincials have a slight possibility.

People from Sicily are quite capable.

Anyway,

We must write quietly to inform His Majesty Louis XVI to prevent these people from going to Paris and repeating their old tricks.

Qing Dharma can come together,
It's no accident. In a sense, the tastes of the royal family are very close.

According to the priest’s experience of living in Paris for 20 years,

As long as these people change their tactics slightly, they can bankrupt every French noble family.

The damage to wealth is minor, but it would be troublesome for all the noble women to have babies.

Especially Queen Maria.

"God bless France."

The priest made a slight sign of the cross on the eight-delicate duck that had just been brought to him.

……

Smith talked a lot again.

Huang Dasheng actually didn't understand a word, but it didn't affect his translation.

Open your eyes and tell lies.

Before coming, Li Yu warned him.

Translation has several realms.

Word-for-word translation, suitable for beginners.

To be "faithful and elegant" is to enter the palace.

Translating on demand, leaving the speaker alone, is the supreme god in the translation world!
at this time,

He wanted to tell Li Yu: I did it.

……

"Dear His Majesty the Qing Emperor, we also want to ask for some books."

"What book? Do you understand it?"

"Our king devotes himself to the study of Sinology and is already the most literate monarch in America."

"Really?" Qianlong couldn't help but laugh.

Huang Dasheng came from his arms,
He took out a banner and asked He Shen to help him.

The two slowly pulled apart,

Qianlong's eyes suddenly opened wide.

There was a line of calligraphy written on it:

"If the sky did not give birth to Qianlong, eternity would be like a dark night."

The calligraphy is a bit ugly, the strokes are crooked.
In the Qing Dynasty, I was only qualified to sweep the floors in the academy.

However, this was written by a foreign monarch.

Gosh.

This calligraphy is simply elegant and free, full of confidence.

A strong Caribbean flavor.

……

Qianlong's eyes were moist, he was really touched.

but,

He was still modest and waved his hand.

"Hehehehe, that's too much, that's too much. It's used to describe a saint. Maybe there is a printing error in the book your king read. Anyone who doesn't know is not guilty."

"No, the king said, you are the saint."

All the ministers present were dumbfounded and felt as if they had swallowed a fly, disgusting.

Huang Dasheng has entered the role of the movie king and said in broken but fluent Chinese:
"The king said that a saint is one who can feed [-] million people. Confucius, he only talked big words, went out to fight in the wild, and let his disciples starve, he is not a saint."

This sentence is earth-shattering.

Qianlong was shocked and speechless for a long time.
He was praised so harshly that he felt as if he had transformed into an immortal!

I'm on top again,
Some of the princes and ministers coughed, some couldn't sit still, some looked surprised, and some looked angry.

What everyone is thinking is,
Barbarian, you are really brave enough to ride a horse.

In order to flatter the emperor, he trampled on the saint to death.

If I hadn't seen you as an envoy today, I would have cut you into 1000 slices to make fresh food.

Huang Dasheng at this moment,
There is a vague hint of Li Yu's evil nature, he is not afraid of big troubles, and he has evil intentions and evil intentions.

it turns out,

He walked over and questioned a civil servant who looked angry.

"My lord, do you think what I said is right?"

"This, this, this~ is insulting to gentlemen and should not be used by Li Yu."

This civil servant was a Jinshi in the 30th year of Qianlong's reign. Throughout his life, he respected the sages and sages the most and was self-denial and observant of etiquette.

So, it fell into Qianlong's eyes.

This is a twenty-five-year-old boy,

One month later, he was sent to Yili to eat sand.

Because he hurt the emperor's feelings.

Huang Dasheng found the elderly Yu Minzhong again.

He didn't know Lao Yu, but from his appearance he thought he might be a high official.

"Sir, do you think what I said is wrong?"

……

Yu Minli immediately started talking:

"No, no no, no no. Your Majesty, your Majesty is of course a saint!"

He was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back, and he wished he could tear the curly-haired barbarian's mouth out.

He escaped Qianlong's knife, but his angry colleagues will do it themselves in the future.

We are all disciples of saints, and this evil fire will burn us sooner or later.

Huang Dasheng held a banner,

In a weird accent, he chanted loudly:

"If the sky did not give birth to Qianlong, eternity would be like a dark night."

It irritated everyone present, causing physical discomfort and nausea.

Even He Shen, an expert in horse-playing, felt his face red and wanted to find a place to get in.

As for the lower limit, I feel ashamed.

However, Qianlong was happy.

There seems to be infinite emotion in my heart,

It’s hard for me to feed 3 million people.

(Logic Emperor: About [-] million people only have mouths to eat, but no hands to work).

No one in the Qing Dynasty understood my difficulty.

Tens of thousands of miles away, a barbarian king can understand me.

What kind of spirit is this?
Looking at these civil servants again, he felt disgusted for no reason.

All of them are impassioned and look like dogs, bah.

Every time I spent some money, it was like digging up their ancestral graves.

Weeping bitterly and admonishing,
It's like I'm a loser.

You receive a huge salary, live in a big house, and hide thousands of acres of fertile land, and yet you talk to me about nonsense morals.

This money will not be given to barbarians;
Do you want to keep it for you to share?

Ridiculous, absurd, shameless, I am so generous.

It can't go on like this,

After the barbarians leave, I will find a reason to kill a few dog heads and confiscate the property for the world to see.

After all, who is more shameless?
……

Thinking of this, Qianlong slowly stood up and looked around the ministers with sharp eyes.

said firmly:
"I decided to borrow another 10 taels."

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites, take the two envoys to the library. As long as they are books that will help enrich the country and strengthen the army, feel free to take them away."

"King Siris wrote the wrong classic. That is not his fault, but my Qing Dynasty's fault."

"In order to put an end to such unintentional mistakes, I have to take action. If Siris wants to develop, what does it need? The first is excellent culture, and the second is money."

"What a coincidence, both of these are available in the Qing Dynasty, and there are a lot of them."

"I want to build Siris into a giant ship in America! Let everyone in the world know that there are many benefits to obeying my Qing Dynasty."

Smith and Huang Dasheng,
They all knelt down and rang their heads again.

It really comes from the heart.

The emperor is a good man.

A sprinkling of it is like a mountain of silver, even if I crack my forehead, I feel like I’m making a profit.

"Long live, long live."

"We will definitely spread the emperor's kindness to every noble and every castle in America."

"well."

Qianlong's eyes were filled with relief.

My reputation spreads far and wide.

A hundred years from now, how will the history books describe my great achievements?
A generation of holy kings, a prosperous age that has never been seen in a thousand years!
So happy, I seem to be 10 years younger.

The banquet is over,

The princes and ministers all remained silent and stayed behind closed doors.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites,
He quickly opened the library and gave Siris the foreigner a choice.

Among the entourage, there was a "native" who happened to have read a book.

He selects books based on their titles.

Ignore the Four Books and Five Classics.

Take away all practical books.

Regardless of whether they are raising pigs, smelting iron, giving birth to babies, fanning horses, tanning leather, building houses, building wooden boats, building palaces, or Yin-Yang Feng Shui.

I, Siris, want both!
