Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 316 A shocking scam against Qianlong started when the butterfly in Batavia flapped its wings!
Grandma Rong hid in a corner, holding her handcuff in her sleeve to secretly observe the reactions of the people present.

Your Majesty can’t take his eyes off it, okay!

Although the queen was smiling, she was slightly unhappy.

Concubine Yang was very relaxed, watching the singing and dancing aside, quite immersed in it.

Concubine Wei lowered her eyes and looked slightly embarrassed. Judging from her skin color, she was from a humble background.

The second concubine of the Zhao family will naturally not be jealous, this is a gift from their biological father!

Madam Bai peeked at His Majesty's reaction for a while, then seriously enjoyed the singing and dancing, and seemed to be imitating and trying to figure it out.

The two babies were held in the maid's hands.

Li Xuanji is sleeping soundly, and the music is a lullaby.

Li Yuanzhen, on the other hand, stared with a pair of big eyes and grinned stupidly.

Everyone marveled at how bold and industrially powerful this was. However, in Li Yu's eyes, this was not worth the slap he received from Shagang, Suzhou before he traveled across time!
……

In the future, if His Majesty makes Li Yuanzhen the crown prince, Concubine Zhen will definitely change her name to avoid being taboo.

The area of ​​Maanshan Iron and Steel formed around the open-pit iron mine is expanding every month, and the total number of workers is close to 3.

Open-pit mine output surged rapidly, and 40 blast furnaces were added. The quality of the molten iron from the newly built blast furnace is not stable and requires multiple adjustments and running-in, but it doesn't matter. It can be temporarily used to build farm tools and coal stoves.

She dropped a look.

Grandma Rong took a peek and saw that His Majesty's eyes were like hooks. She didn't know whether he was drunk or intoxicated.

She knew why, but she wouldn't say.

Rice wine has a special characteristic. When you first drink it, you will feel it is light and refreshing. After drinking too much, you will feel drunk like a mountain and a tsunami.

Your Majesty is a man of great ambition and self-discipline!
suddenly,

Yang Yunjiao just nodded and said nothing. She could see that His Majesty liked it very much.

There were dancing and wine, and there were people accompanying him. Li Yu drank a lot more without knowing it.

Although it is cold and windy outside, it is as warm as spring inside.

Grandma Rong suddenly felt something in her heart: It’s broken!
Li Yuanzhen, Zhao Shuzhen, this is a conflict of words.

"Why did she change her clothes in the blink of an eye? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

She was secretly happy,
Stable! From now on, my position as the first-class nun in the palace will be stable. His Majesty likes it, and this reason alone is enough.

The coal utilization rate in the Jiangnan region is rising steadily. There is also a coal stove that has three-in-one functions of cooking, boiling water, and heating, and it is being vigorously promoted!

If everyone present is cleared away, leaving only His Majesty and these dancers, I'm afraid there will be a few more sisters in the harem next year.

The Battle of Jiangxi resulted in a large number of Green Camp prisoners.

Thinking of this,

Every time there is a song or dance, the dancers change their costumes.

The group dance ended and it was time for one person to dance alone.

Maanshan Iron and Steel's production capacity has been increasing and has never been in excess. Armor, guns, farm tools, shipbuilding parts, coal stoves, everything is a product of iron.

Immediately, a dancer dressed as a fairy came out with completely different clothes and hairstyle.

……

She felt a gaze on her, and when she looked along, she saw Grandma Rong quickly lowering her head to avoid the collision of eyes.

Apprentices build civilian products, journeymen build military products. Gradually form a complete and mature talent training mechanism.

……

At that time, he didn't even want to look at the woman.

Hu Ling'er was also full of confusion, looking at the dancer dressed as a fairy and spinning behind the screen.

Yang Yunjiao couldn't help but recall how clean and tidy Li Daguan was in the early days of starting a business. He was busy running around every day, moving up and down, saving money, weapons, and connections.

Zhao Shuzhen covered her mouth and snickered.

Hu Ji understood it and elegantly swung behind the screen in the corner.

The number of blacksmith apprentices is also expanding.

She turned into Orchid and spun out again, and her clothes changed again!
That appearance and facial features cannot be said to be very similar, I can only say that they are exactly the same~
Li Yu got up from the wine and took a look.

However, who can stop it.

……

Li Yu was stunned, and everyone in the room was stunned.

Are high officials free from illness? No.

Hu Ling'er suddenly whispered:
"Sister, Zhao Mansion has really put a lot of effort into this."

The orchid dance with light gauze skirt has a fierce rhythm and is full of wildness.

The ground dragon sends heat evenly to every corner, making the walls warm.

As a result, a person emerged from the back of the screen from both sides. They all walked forward and saluted softly:
"Your Majesty~"

Li Yu looked at this and that.

Ah, got it.

They're fucking twin sisters!
"Okay, okay." Li Yu laughed loudly, his steps empty.

Before time travel, those ever-changing videos were technology, PS technology. But now, this is really a big change.

No wonder everyone wants to be an emperor,

The fun created by technology is a placebo, but the emperor’s horses are all for real!
As the saying goes:
In the tower outside the mountain, when will King Wu stop singing and dancing?
The few are restless, but the few must stand up and kick! Kick, kick, kick!

……

"Keep playing music, keep dancing!" Li Yu decided to indulge a little today and just be a fool!

The fun of a female band cannot be enjoyed by just businessmen. It is a huge trespass and should be beheaded.

He drank another glass of wine, feeling that it was soft and rich in texture, and he still had more to say: "One more glass."

Zhao Shujie was embarrassed and whispered:

"Your Majesty, Shaoxing rice wine has great staying power."

However, Li Yu has decided to be a foolish king, so there is no way he can listen to his enthusiasm and stamina.

After he drank two glasses of wine, he wanted to get off and ride a bicycle.

But the consciousness is still there, but the feet are not obeying the command. Before falling on the carpet, my hands subconsciously tugged for balance~
……

Zhao Shuzhen looked at His Majesty, who was sleeping soundly on the carpet, holding an apricot-yellow embroidered moon pocket in his hand, and Hu Ji, who was standing next to her and holding the moon in her hands, shivering.

He chuckled.

But it attracted a cold glance from Hu Ling'er.

The moment Hu Ling'er stood up, her aura was so great that everyone bowed their heads in solemn silence.

I heard her calmly start to give orders:
"Your Majesty is drunk, Madam Bai~"

"My concubine is here."

"Tonight you take care of His Majesty sober up. Don't fall asleep to prevent His Majesty from vomiting."

"Yes."

"Mama Rong."

"The servant is here."

"Singing and dancing entertainment in the palace is common. But if it disrupts the order of the palace~"

"I don't dare, I don't dare." Grandma Rong, a mature woman, immediately knelt down to express her repentance.

"That's it for today, let's all disperse. Everyone has a share of the New Year's red envelopes. The servants in the palace can get them from my maids."

Hu Ling'er is the queen, so her words naturally carry weight.

The ordinary New Year’s Eve has just passed~
……

The next day, when Li Yu woke up.

I felt my mouth was dry, so I drank 2 large glasses of warm water.

I shook my head and it was good. I didn’t have a headache. I didn’t have the splitting headache I felt after being hungover from some brands of liquor before I traveled through time.

Hu Ling'er slept peacefully and smiled at Li Yu who came to visit her son:
"Your Majesty, is our Yuan Zhen cute?"

"Well, these eyes look like a widower's."

The maid next to her quickly joined in the fun:
"The Crown Prince and His Majesty seem to be from the same mold."

After teasing the child for a while, Fu's mother took him away.

Hu Linger suggested:

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion." "Speak!"

"The harem is expanding day by day and the city is crowded. Should we consider building a palace?"

Li Yu took a sip of green tea and nodded:
"This is a big deal. It's time to put it on the agenda. Why don't we let the head of state take charge?"

……

Hu Ling'er stood up:
"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Building a palace has always been a major undertaking, and one would not dare to commission it unless someone he trusted very much. And the most important thing is location selection!

Site selection requires consideration of many aspects.

Feng shui, safety, environment, disasters, distance, etc.

Hu Xueyu hurried over and immediately issued a military order:
"Your Majesty, I will definitely handle this matter well. But I don't know how big the palace is? Is it temporary?"

Li Yu didn't even raise his head, scribbling on the paper:

"The meal must be eaten in one bite, and it must first satisfy the court affairs and the residence of the palace people. As for longer-term matters, let's discuss them later."

"Yes. May I ask Your Majesty, is the palace built in Suzhou City or not?"

"No, Gusu City is small, crowded, and mixed! Let's choose a location nearby." Li Yu breathed out, "Wang Shenxian is gone, so there is no need to use his Feng Shui skills."

Hu Xueyu said nothing, but just listened respectfully.

"There are no giant trees in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so it is difficult to build a tall palace. But it doesn't matter. We are going to use steel, cement and bricks to build a unique palace."

……

In order to cooperate with the idea of ​​building palaces and official residences of dignitaries, at Hu Xueyu's suggestion, Li Yu approved the establishment of an architectural department!

Suzhou was the main supplier of imperial bricks during the Ming and Qing dynasties. There is a place in the north of Fucheng called the Royal Kiln. As the name suggests, it was used to bake bricks for the royal family.

Cement provided by Changxing.

Rebar, that's the new thing.

But it doesn't matter, Li Yu will give you the drawings, just follow them.

Modern architecture is the body, Chinese architecture is the purpose!
Combining ancient and modern times, and then blending garden aesthetics, it is not a big problem to create a small but beautiful palace.

to this end,

Li Yu stayed behind closed doors on New Year's Day and spent half a day drawing drawings.

Hu Linger, on the other hand, summoned Grandma Rong and got straight to the point:
"Are these Yingying Yanyan sent by Zhao Mansion innocent?"

"Back to the Queen, I guarantee with my life that all of my slaves are pure and pure girls. The ones who bought the house at the age of 7 at the latest were all trained and raised by my slaves. All of them are clean, pure, healthy and obedient girls!"

"I will send someone to check."

"The servant understands."

……

Port of Batavia.

The air is humid and the fishy smell of sea water is everywhere.

The sun is obscured by clouds and appears occasionally.

Smith's merchant ship slowly sailed into the port. Dutch soldiers wearing helmets and holding muskets immediately boarded the ship. After checking the procedures, they collected tax money and paid it according to the deck area.

after that,

Smith led a group of excited sailors ashore, searching for drinks and women with their green eyes.

In Batavia, the order and environment are good.

But this was outside the city, a chaotic, noisy, dirty slum area, or entertainment area, that Dutch soldiers would not visit once a month.

The people I met along the way were of all kinds and strange shapes.

There are the Qing slave laborers with fearful expressions and pigtails, there are Irish women leaning against the door to solicit business, there are also pickpockets with quick eyes looking for targets, and wandering sailors in the casino who have lost everything and look confused.

Smith and his team are tough, well-dressed, and have sharp swords hanging from their waists. They are not easy to mess with at first glance. Countless pairs of eyes stared at them from both sides of the street with curiosity, envy, or vigilance.

The first mate smiled and said:

"Boss, do we really want to sell the so-called treasure map?"

"Of course, His Majesty King Wu doesn't understand us sailors. The story of the treasure map has been passed down for hundreds of years. The higher the price, the more bastards believe it. Find a tavern and sell it at a reasonable price."

……

As he was speaking, Smith suddenly smelled a familiar stench.

Looking up, I saw a fresh corpse floating in the stinky ditch about 50 feet to the right.

He covered his nose and said:

"May God bless this poor lady."

The first mate next to him immediately added:

"Young lady!"

The ship's doctor had been in the industry for a short time and asked doubtfully:

"How did you know?"

Smith: "The female body was face down and the male body was face up."

The first mate stretched out his palm obscenely and made a slight gesture: "nice ass."

……

After walking two more streets, Smith was in a hurry and stepped on his feet as carefully as if he was avoiding a landmine. He went to a dark alley to solve the problem on the spot.

suddenly,

A red-haired girl in frivolous clothing emerged from the corner and clung to Smith like a snake.

He said humbly:
"Sir, for just 1 silver coin, I can send you to heaven."

"Ma'am, don't you think it's too expensive?"

"How about giving it away again?"

During the bargaining, Smith grabbed the woman's wrist and sneered:

"Girl, you're looking in the wrong place."

The woman looked shocked and tried to break away but was helpless.

She had heard someone talking about a treasure map in a familiar native language, so she followed them all the way here, hoping to take risks and become a pickpocket.

……

It's a pity that although they are all skilled trades, the journey across the profession is like crossing a mountain.

She failed!
Smith kicked the man to the ground, and then slowly stuffed the parchment back into his pocket.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed~
If Smith hadn't reacted quickly, his throat would have been slit by this thin knife.

"Fock!"

He roared angrily and strangled the woman's neck with his right hand, his one eye full of anger and cruelty.

The woman's expression was painful, and her struggle gradually became weaker.

A foul stench filled the air.

Smith let go, and bang, the body fell to the ground.

His mood was very complicated. He never imagined that he would meet and say goodbye to a compatriot in this way!

……

"Gentleman's Tavern", sign made of oak.

This is the most solid place in the entire tavern.

As soon as Smith and his party walked up the steps, the two big men guarding the door glared fiercely and warned:

"Hey, poor Irishman. Do you have any money?"

Smith sneered, took off a small cloth bag and shook the silver coins inside:
"Asshole, God is howling in there, do you hear me?"

The smiles on the faces of the two big men increased, and they bowed down humbly:

"Have a pleasant evening, distinguished gentlemen from London's West End!"

Taverns are filled with alcohol, drunken drunks, obsessed gamblers, and chicks who are just a hair away from the "truth."

……

Smith quickly found the target and stretched out his hand to stop:
"Hey girl, come have a drink with me."

A blonde woman carrying a tray took a look at Smith's hair color and face, and said contemptuously:
"Go home and drink with your mother, you Irish pauper."

Snapped,
She received a big slap~
The tavern was silent for a moment.
