Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 310 Credentials written in three languages: French, Latin, and Manchu! Cerebral hemorrhage after Qianlong's reading
The noise in the courtyard was very intense.

The accompanying gunner of the Jiangnan-class battleship, Wesson, a Dutchman wearing a Wu army uniform, walked out of the yard with a frown.

Li Yu waved and asked:

"The people inside are unwilling to sell?"

"No."

"The price?"

"Part of it. It seems that he is afraid of some new ban issued by the Governor's Palace in Manila?"

Li Yu nodded in surprise and waited for the group to reach a consensus.

Half an hour later, Smith, whose head was steaming with heat, came out tiredly and raised a finger:
"One hundred thousand taels."

"make a deal."

……

"Well, as soon as you get out of your house, go see her."

Li Yu knew very well that the cost of the armed merchant ship anchored at Jinshanwei Pier would never exceed 2 taels.

Therefore, the asking price of 10 taels is not too bad.

Smith seemed to want to say something, but finally held back.

Bai Mu, who was holding the prince in his arms, was secretly happy that he could eat meat again tonight.

Compared with the wrinkled appearance when he was just born, he is now much better looking and has a cute little appearance.

She was Hu Ling'er's maid as a dowry, so she would not make her master jealous.

"Okay." Li Yu looked familiar and asked, "You were there last time~"

He met Yang Yunjiao, who was very bulky. He sat on the side of the couch and talked about the war in Jiangxi.

Hu Ling'er leaned back and looked at this harmonious scene with a smile, a loving father and a cute son.

"My servant Bai Mu, I had the honor to sleep with His Majesty last time."

"I see you, Your Majesty."

Bai Mu was very happy and polite.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you Queen."

……

"Well, what worries me most right now is the source of raw materials for shipbuilding and gunpowder. The supply is always in short supply."

In business, if you make money from me, I will make money from you. The main theme is ambiguity.

The two main tea producing areas in the Qing Empire were Wuyishan in Fujian and Wannan and surrounding areas. Li Yu has already secured one, so he doesn't worry about the supply of goods at all.

But considering that when they return, they will definitely be filled with tea and silk. Once they are shipped to Manila and resold, the profit of a single ship will be at least 20,000 taels.

Xishan Island,
After taking a bath and changing clothes, Li Yu picked up his son, Li Yuanzhen.

"Has your Majesty ever visited Concubine Yang?"

"Your Majesty has been tired from riding the horse all the way. Please come and hold me."

……

Then his status skyrocketed, and when summer came, wouldn’t the delicious smoothie watermelon be enough to eat!

Moreover, Smith and his gang will definitely purchase some of the easiest-to-load goods, tea bricks, at market prices! The remaining silver was then exchanged for gold to reduce the weight.

"how?"

"With Your Majesty taking control of northern Jiangxi, the Qing government will be even less able to obtain money and food from the south. It will take less than three to five years for the great cause to be completed."

While they were chatting, Yang Yunjiao suddenly frowned with a painful expression.

The house is as warm as spring, and the earth dragon is burning brightly.

Hu Zheng, a maid from Huizhou who was collecting various kinds of fabrics, prayed secretly: Your Majesty needs to know the goods, Your Majesty, don't move, Zheng'er is fully automatic!
In short, these worries have nothing to do with Li Yu.

After all, this is a case of taking away the meat and the pot together.

Calculating the days is quite dangerous, maybe we can create a little prince.

"Your Majesty, you'd better go."

"I'm afraid I'm going to give birth~"

"You don't have to get up, just lie down."

So, Li Yu left the house angrily.

"Okay, you have a good rest. I will come over in the evening."

This is equivalent to making a fortune again.

Hu Ling'er said magnanimously:

Li Yu smiled and handed the child over: "You don't need to call yourself a slave. Let the queen make up for your title after the New Year."

Watching a group of women carrying copper basins coming in and out, I felt dizzy.

After a while,
He decided to leave temporarily to save himself the embarrassment. This is not an era of building up the image of a good man, but a feudal era of orderly hierarchy and strict hierarchies.

Then, surrounded by a group of personal guards, he inspected the island.

Xishan Island is much cleaner than before.

Nowadays, there are basically only three types of people living on the island: royal family and maids, core personnel and family members of the military industry, and patrol guards!
All the rest of the idle staff were relocated and dispersed to various places.

Li Yu had already passed three checkpoints along the way, all of which had an uncertain number of guards.

"Your Majesty, but there are not enough guards?"

"No. We can reduce the number of overt sentries and increase the number of hidden sentries. The hidden sentries should no longer wear military uniforms. Wear plain clothes and carry short knives and short-handed muskets. Find the Intelligence Agency again. I heard that their sniffer dogs are very good. How many do you want? come over."

"As ordered."

Li Yu was very dissatisfied with the construction plan of Xishan Island along the way. The main reason was that in the past, big cakes were spread everywhere, with hammers in the east and sticks in the west.

……

Suddenly, a person ran quickly.

Kneel down on one knee in front of me:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the princess has given birth to a princess. Mother and child are safe."

"it is good."

Li Yu suddenly felt relieved, let out a long breath, and walked briskly.

I saw a newborn crumpled baby with its eyes closed, no different from a monkey.

The house has been cleaned.

A group of stable maids raised their heads with joy and pride, waiting for the reward.

"Your Majesty, please give me a name."

Li Yu had already prepared a name for a boy and a girl.

"My name is Li Xuanji."

Yang Yunjiao smiled weakly and said softly:

"Too bad, it's a girl."

"It doesn't matter, I'm still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Just take a good rest and don't worry about other matters."

Yang Yunjiao nodded to the maid beside her.

The maid immediately understood and took out a locked camphor wood box, which contained a list of personnel and confidential documents from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

……

Li Yu warned:
"Any maids and wives who are sick recently will be transferred out first. The servants serving the Queen and Concubine Yang should pay attention to personal hygiene, wash their hands more often, and change their clothes more frequently."

"Yes."

The backwardness of medical technology allows many minor diseases to kill a person at any time. Not to mention pneumonia and infection, which are simply the death talisman of the king of hell.

Antibiotics cannot be obtained, not even in this lifetime.

The palace of science is built step by step, and there is no way to overtake in corners.

but,

The birth of two children one after another made Li Yu pay attention to hygiene issues again!
"For the record, from now on, all legions, government offices, and schools will be required to drink only boiled water and refuse raw water. This is not an initiative, it is a royal order, and everyone must abide by it."

"At the same time, the above departments are required to build a number of new heating bathrooms. I will draw the specific drawings by hand." "Open another Dongshan Military Medical School in Dongshan. Recruit some famous doctors from the south of the Yangtze River to give lectures, with favorable remuneration, and tell them that all those with superb medical skills He can be the imperial physician of Wu State. If he doesn't want to be restrained, I can also give him a plaque and let him go home for consultation. "

The paperwork was quickly recorded and he turned to leave.

Hand the shorthand paper to the correspondence document below, copy it into a formal document and issue it.

At least so far, Wu Guo's machine is operating relatively efficiently. Every order given by Li Yu can be executed promptly and in place.

……

Li Yu was very busy for three consecutive days.

I shut myself in the study and wrote and drew, sometimes laughing loudly, and sometimes walking around irritably.

Bai Mu, who was sleeping with him, clearly felt that His Majesty was different from the past.

More crazy and more violent.

But as a lucky woman, she has nothing to complain about.

Ever since His Majesty decided to become His Majesty, he has become a widower. At the same time, he has developed some problems that match his status. Isn't it unusual?

The ancients have said: I am sick when I am young.

This disease is not easy to cure and is generally a chronic disease that will accompany you throughout your life. It can only be treated with female entertainment, but there is no cure.

On a sunny noon,

Li Yu finally completed all the manuscripts and delivered them to his confidential printing workshop for printing and making books.

The heated bathroom drawings are not secret, but the other manual about Nanyang is the real absolute secret.

……

Suzhou Fucheng.

Smith was anxiously summoned alone.

Except for the two personal guards standing on both sides of Li Yu, there was no one else in the room.

Li Yu was shocked as soon as he opened his mouth:
"I want to help you and become a little governor of the islands in the Southeast Asia. Are you willing?"

"what?"

"Listen carefully, the next words are very important. You must remember every word without making any mistakes. Do you still remember when you pretended to be the Siris envoy and went to the Forbidden City to pay tribute?"

"Remember." Smith's eyes glowed with strange light. It was the craziest memory in his life.

"Sail back to Nanyang as soon as possible and spread the news. Be detailed and widespread, so that adventurers of all colors in Nanyang know about it."

Smith almost jumped in fright.

His face was pale and he stammered:
"No, no, you can't. It will kill me."

"I am about to establish a new country and compete with the Qing court in the north for the world. You should publicize this matter intact, not only for my country of Wu, but also for your own career."

……

Li Yu's eyes were full of madness:

"Tell me, do you want to be the governor?"

"I want to, but~"

Li Yu interrupted him rudely:
"Gold, as long as there is enough gold. Warships, guns, and manpower are not problems. There are already so many East India companies in Nanyang, and there is no harm in adding one more."

"I will give you gold, guns, and officers. Find a piece of land and start a business."

"When the time comes, London will have to hold its nose and give you a title of nobility."

Smith was so deceived that his blood boiled and his head was dizzy.

Governor? noble?
I don’t dare to think about it, it’s so beautiful to think about.

Li Yu is still continuing his magical output:
"Imagine that one day you will wear fine clothes and walk into the dazzling Buckingham Palace under the envious gaze of London's upper class. You will have dinner with George III and the Prime Minister, talk about the weather, ladies, and important events. When you returned to your native Ireland, millions of people rushed to see you, the most successful and legendary man Ireland has ever seen.”

……

Smith could no longer suppress the pride in his heart and stood up suddenly and knelt down on one knee:
"I want to be the governor!"

"Fight, fight. You give the order!"

Li Yu then breathed a long sigh of relief:

"As short as two to three years, as long as three to five years, you will be a big shot in Southeast Asia. You should stay and read this booklet carefully, and remember it firmly, even better than the Bible."

"As ordered."

Smith was locked in a room and carefully read this manual "on how to pretend to be an overseas barbarian envoy and defraud the Qing emperor of gold."

Very thorough, very detailed.

It elaborates on the feasibility of the deception from various angles such as routes, costs, human nature, and the national conditions of the Qing Dynasty, and even takes into account the clothing, credentials, and rhetoric.

"French, Latin, Manchu", the credentials in the three languages ​​looked very formal, full of exotic charm, and at the same time, they pleased the Qing royal family.

All Manchu national books are available.

Tsk tsk, I dare not think about it.

……

The translator of the Manchu national book was Fucheng's father, Mr. Pufu. He is still frightened and afraid to think about what kind of person His Majesty is!
Monster, no, evildoer.

He felt a little pity for his old master Qianlong who was thousands of miles away.

How does this end? What emperor could stand this level of teasing? Is this going to cause a cerebral hemorrhage?

Once the matter is exposed, what is its nature?

Qianlong's image of a perfect emperor was completely ruined, and he was disgraced to the whole world. Moreover, Qianlong and the important officials in the imperial court wanted to pretend that they didn't know, but they couldn't do it.

"Amma, what's wrong with you?" Fucheng couldn't help but asked as he noticed something was wrong with his father.

"I'm not your Ama, I'm your dad! Remember, dad! Dad! Dad!" Pu Fu was a little excited today.

"Good good."

……

Fucheng can't be offended, but he is really curious.

Asked again:
"Dad, something is wrong when you come back from His Majesty. What happened?"

"Don't ask, don't worry. I'm here to remind you again, serve your new master with 12 cents of caution, and don't mess with him! If you mess with your errand, you are messing with your own future and your own head!"

"Ok."

Fucheng shook his head and left.

If you can't afford to offend me, I can afford to hide. My father's mental state is a bit wrong!

If you stay any longer, your filial piety may fade away, so it’s better to keep some distance and go live elsewhere for a few days.

I can't stay here!
The old Puffo swayed back and forth on the recliner with his eyes closed.

He suddenly understood why he had to find himself, an old man, to translate the letter of credence!

It's because his bastard son doesn't know Manchu! Seventy percent of these young people from Beijing Banner cannot speak Manchu, and they are all fluent in Beijing movies.

……

But then again.

Maybe it’s a good thing that my son didn’t get involved!
It is definitely not a good thing for the ministers to know too much about the emperor's private affairs. If the emperor sees you and feels that he has failed morally, he will have no choice but to treat you badly.

Based on your own judgment based on the current situation:

Qing vs. Wu, the advantage lies with Wu!

It’s mainly an all-round competition between the people at the helm~
In terms of strategy and calculation, it may be half a dozen. In terms of age, Wu is definitely at an advantage!
Even if the King of Wu wears away slowly, he can still put Emperor Qianlong into a coffin. However, the princes of the Qing Dynasty are mediocre and have no bright minds.

But considering the longevity trend of Emperor Qianlong, this process may take another ten or eight years~
……

He got excited and stood up suddenly, thinking to himself:

"Your Majesty has seen the crux of the problem. He no longer plans to fight for life with Emperor Qianlong. He will strike with precision and strive to send Emperor Qianlong to his death in one wave next year."

"Wonderful, wonderful."

Maybe I got up too hard, maybe I was too excited, and my mood was on a roller coaster.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the newly acquired maid is too annoying~
Pufu suddenly became dizzy and fell down with an excited smile on his face.

The maid serving beside her turned pale:

"Here comes someone. The master has fainted. Please call the doctor quickly. Go find the young master and save the master."
