Yuqing Palace.
"Master, Fucha's ship came back a month ago. Master Fu Qing counted all the trade items you need, and they are all in the wooden box in front of you." Li Qin asked several sturdy eunuchs to carry the wooden box, It was placed in the study in an orderly manner, and after a while, the wooden box occupied an extremely wide area, and there was almost no place for people to stay.
These woods are specially made for waterproofing. After several years of sea voyages, they are contaminated with salty and wet sea fishy smell, which is not very good. But Li Qin and the others didn't change their faces, and were even a little excited.
A few years ago, His Royal Highness, who was still Duanbeile, was interested in foreign languages ??and Western things, and organized his men to go to sea. In the name of the Fucha family, they have been dispatched several times.
With a big wave of his hand, Qianlong let his son go, and asked someone to bring an oral order to the yamen of the treaty port, not to hinder the trading ships of Fucha's family, and let them go all the way.
The Qing Dynasty's sea ban policy evolved step by step.
In the later years of Kangxi, he issued a ban on the South China Sea, strictly prohibiting the people along the coast to go to sea to trade, and those who violated the order were beheaded; in the fifth year of Yongzheng, the emperor decided to open four treaty ports, namely Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang continued until the 22nd year of Qianlong. In the 22nd year of Qianlong, because of disturbances by British merchants, the emperor ordered the closure of three treaty ports, leaving only one port in Guangzhou for trade. The Qing Dynasty began a real "closed door"[1].
In the early years of Qianlong's administration, the sea ban policy was not so strict, and the people could go to sea for trade with the government's release. Not to mention the officials and ministers in the court, some people secretly dispatched sea ships to sell the good things of foreigners in the capital in order to earn some price difference, Qianlong just turned a blind eye and let them go.
However, these ministers are only a very small number. Following the established route, they traded at most some luxury goods such as spices and gems, and there were no more.
The cost of going to sea is extremely high and there are many dangers. Without huge strength to support it, it will be a loss-making business after all.
¡ª¡ªRisks and costs are nothing to the prince of a country.
The prince put down the memorial in his hand, bent down, and opened the box casually. In an instant, the bright light of rubies and other treasures filled the entire study.
The prince smiled and said: "This box of things, after cleaning, send it to Changchun Palace. It's good to make a novel face for the empress, or keep it as a reward."
Li Qin should be respectful. There are two boxes of luxury items such as gems, and the other box is reserved for the Crown Princess.
The crown prince's attention is not on gems. In the past few years, his subordinates went out to sea several times one after another. According to the map he drew himself, following the route, he brought back a large number of crop seeds such as sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes, as well as several rare fruits.
As early as the end of the Ming Dynasty, sweet potatoes and corn were introduced to China, but they were extremely rare, let alone staple foods. Up to now, sweet potatoes can be seen everywhere, corn has become a staple food, and the number of hungry refugees has been greatly reduced, all thanks to these crops.
The prince had people transport the seeds overseas, but he wanted to use modern knowledge to evolve and cultivate them, so as to double their output.
He was very clear that this was not something that could be done overnight, so the prince was not in a hurry, twisted the seeds a few times, and gently put them into the box.
"My lord Fu Qing said that after going through all kinds of hardships this time, he only traded five guns with foreigners, and they refused to sell more." Li Qin conveyed Fu Qing's words softly, The prince nodded, looking extremely satisfied.
Fu Qing is the elder brother of the empress and Fu Heng's elder brother, who manages the maritime trade for the prince. If the old lady didn't stop him, he would have gone to sea by himself.
Recalling Uncle Fu Qing's resentful eyes, the prince smiled and shook his head, picked up a Westerner's musket, and studied it carefully.
The workmanship is rough, but it is much better than the bird gun held by the court; it does not have the function of bursting fire, but the prince understands that the lethality of this gun surpasses all the weapons of the Shenji Camp.
The study room was quiet. After a long time, the prince pondered: "Follow me to the Ministry of Industry tomorrow"
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and the matter of replacing the musket must be put on the agenda.
*
Going to the study room, after many days of getting along, Fu Long'an and Shanbao became acquainted, one on the left and the other on the right, guarding Yong Cong's side like door gods.
One little bean is a good material for generals, and the other is a reserve for civil servants. Yong Cong is happy, and the two think that all the talents in the world will be in the pocket of the young master.
Shanbao cherishes the resources in the study very much, and looks more serious and hardworking than Yongcong, as if he is desperately studying.
The masters in the study are all great talents in the dynasty, and it is he who can teach him.p; Yongqi's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "The gentlemen all praised Shanbao for being talented and intelligent, and he is comparable to the seventh brother, so don't talk like that."
These words just added fuel to the fire, igniting the anger of Pengzhu and Qingsheng.
The two of them are not material for studying, they just have their qualifications in the upper study room. Yongqi's masters all turn a blind eye and close their eyes, and don't care.
There is a cousin in the family who is valued by the elders and is very intelligent. What Peng Zhu hates most in his life is the title of genius. He sneered, "What's the use of talent? A pariah is still a pariah"
As he said, he angrily used his meal to go.
After lunch, I have half an hour to rest in the study to prepare for the next riding and archery class.
He Shen ate the fastest, handed the food box to Lin Bao, and left the classroom first. After a while, he frowned, and was blocked by Peng Zhu and Qing Sheng at the base of the inconspicuous wall.
"Hey, isn't this our Young Master Shanbao?" Qingsheng laughed and said, "A mere pariah, eating the same meal as the prince, isn't it very proud?"
¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù
He Shen: The Tong family, right? Your money is gone.
