Emperor Qing looked at the several utensils in front of him and was quite surprised.
The Huaihe River and the Huaihe River are close to the sea, and with the Beijing-Hangzhou Yunhe River and water transportation extending in all directions, you can naturally come into contact with many novel things.
These utensils were naturally gifts from Lin Ruhai, the general envoy of the Lianghuai Salt Transport Bureau, who came to Beijing to report on his duties. It is said that they were bought at a large price from the fleets of overseas countries.
Muskets, cannons, and other firearms, even on rainy days, will not affect their firing and power.
Steam carriages do not require horses, let alone people, and can move by themselves.
The child’s arms are thick and the ears of rice are plump.
The more he looked at these things, the more frightened Emperor Qing became. The education he received since childhood was from overseas barbarians, who were stubborn and stubborn. They were backward, poor and ignorant.
But just by looking at these three things, he knew that he was wrong, very wrong.
Although the overseas countries are far away from the Central Plains, thousands of miles away. But if one day, their ships can ride the wind and waves at very high speeds.
Will the Central Plains one day face those barbarian armies? If those armies are equipped with these muskets and cannons, how can the new dynasty resist them?
Rely on flesh and blood, rely on human life to fill it?
Physics, the principle of all things.
Maybe the court needs to make some changes. Otherwise, when future generations face those powerful enemies, will they blame their ancestors for not paying attention to these things at the time, and even curse at their own tablets?
Was the new dynasty destroyed by Emperor Qing?
"Greetings to the Supreme Emperor!" Suddenly a eunuch from a distance shouted loudly.
Emperor Qing was stunned. The Supreme Emperor had been lying in the Yangxin Hall for more than a year. Why did he have time to visit the garden today? Is his health better?
Thinking of this, Emperor Qing, who was always benevolent, righteous, pure and filial, hurried over and said respectfully: "My son, I want to pay my respects to my father."
The Supreme Emperor's beard and hair are all white, and there are black spots on his face. He is over eighty years old. He is the longest living emperor in the history of the Central Plains and the longest unified emperor to rule the world.
He excelled in both civil and martial arts, and he always called himself a perfect old man.
"I heard that Lin Qing's family brought many new things to the emperor. I came to take a look." The emperor said with a smile.
Emperor Qing's heart sank, a bunch of eating and crawling dogs!
After a moment, he raised his head and said with a smile: "That's just right, Father, in my opinion these things are not new gadgets, but the foundation of a strong country!"
"Oh, then you have a nice talk with me."
"Come, Father, let me tell you..." Emperor Qing began to explain slowly with great interest.
The world is governed by ministers, and the emperor can only play the role of a helmsman at most.
But now most of the civil servants in the court, as well as General Wu Xun, only listen to the words of the Supreme Emperor. If they want to do something, they must get the support of the Supreme Emperor.
In fact, over the years, the father and son had a certain tacit understanding. Emperor Qing An An was his mascot, while the Supreme Emperor continued to hold power and rule from the top.
Men should not be without power for a day.
However, in the past two years, the Supreme Emperor was seriously ill and had been lying down. Emperor Qing gradually began to take over some major and minor matters. However, his temperament was still cautious and he would never make any big moves.
After listening to his son's introduction, the Supreme Emperor looked puzzled. He stared at the motorcycle for a while and said with a smile: "Emperor, tell me, with this motorcycle, I can save horsepower.
Horsepower can be saved. If this locomotive is moved to the private sector, will manpower be saved as well?
If manpower is saved, then in the future, as long as the people spend a little time working every day, they can harvest a lot of food and be well fed and clothed?"
Emperor Qing smiled and said: "Exactly, that's why I think this is the real weapon of the country!"
The Supreme Emperor looked his son up and down and shook his head slowly: "This man has insatiable desires. When he is well fed and clothed, he will think about lust. When he has a daughter, he will think about the child.
When he has a family and children, he thinks about the house. When he has a house, he thinks about the official position. When he becomes a minor official, he thinks about becoming a high official. If he stays as a high official, do you think he will want to be an emperor?"
Emperor Qing was speechless.
"Of course, if more people can easily eat and clothe themselves, they will just want to lie down, how comfortable it is to lie down.
But, emperor, do you know?
There is an animal called a bat in the dense deep forest in the south, and the bat's favorite food is the honest and humble cattle. It sucks blood crazily, blatantly and unscrupulously.
These bats don't like cows lying down. They will try to make the cows stand up or move first. In this way, they can suck more blood, eat more fully, and the whole family can live a better life.
good.
As the supreme king of the world, the lord of the dynasty, and the emperor, you can neither let people be idle nor let them lie down.
The former can threaten your power and status, but the latter? If everyone is lying down, who will do the affairs of the world?
If you want to do something, such as war, you can always have enough to eat and drink, so who would be willing to fight for you?"
Emperor Qing was thoughtful.
"Furthermore, Emperor, do you think that in the Central Plains, where we have had so many sages and wise men for thousands of years, everyone really wouldn't think of doing these good things to benefit the people?
You are half right, he is a sharp weapon, but it is not good for the country." The Supreme Emperor continued to teach with sincerity.
Emperor Qing still didn't understand.
The people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. How can this good thing that benefits the people become harmful to the country?
"Haha~" The Supreme Emperor smiled, looked up into the distance, and saw the scorching sun.
The older he gets, the clearer he sees some things.
“A long time ago, our ancestors discovered that you don’t need to run faster than a tiger, you just need to be faster than other people;
Their successors further discovered that you don’t have to run faster than others, you just need to stumble others;
The successors who came after them made further progress: if they failed to grasp the stumbling blocks and broke other people's legs, they would always be the fastest ones!
What do you think, Emperor?" The Supreme Emperor asked, referring to something intentionally.
Emperor Qing nodded: "I have been taught."
The Supreme Emperor shook his head: "I hope you can really understand. In this world, the most important thing is stability.
No matter how powerful those barbarians are, no matter how sharp their firearms are, can they stop my new dynasty's 300 million people and millions of troops?
Absolutely impossible!
Therefore, sometimes, when you hear those scholars talk about reform, innovation, and rebuilding the world, you don't have to be tempted. You may even think about fighting for it and becoming an emperor through the ages.
Those so-called scholars and scholars, what do they know about running a country? If they can manage their own affairs well, then they are good!"
Emperor Qing continued to nod: "I understand, I will obey your father's teachings."
Regardless of whether you understand it or not, just nod and it will be done. You are right.
The Supreme Emperor was then satisfied, stroking his beard and nodding with a smile.
It’s difficult for him!
At such an old age, a minister secretly came over to tell him that the world was not like what the ministers had said in their memorials. The world was under great rule and the seas and rivers were clear.
On the contrary, there are bones on the road, and the red wall is thousands of miles away.
Those confused people say that he is a great fool?
Is this possible? Impossible!
And lying on the bed, he could deeply feel the passage of his life. When he heard that a chamberlain came to inform the emperor today, he became anxious.
When people die, government ceases.
If after his death, the new emperor completely denies himself, how will he be recorded in future history books?
Foolish king, the old man who holds the imperial power forever?
Absolutely not!
After the Supreme Emperor left, he stood still and watched him disappear around the corner. Emperor Qing silently thought about what his father had just said.
“Is it enough to outrun a lion?
What if in the future there are people, even many people, who can run faster than tigers and lions, and have claws sharper than them?"
"Your Majesty?" Manager Chen came over and knelt down respectfully.
Only then did Emperor Qing come to his senses and said coldly: "Check, when Lin Qing's family came to see me today, those servants were on duty. They were all sent to Huanxi Fang."
"yes."
"Oh, by the way, where is the royal cat?" Emperor Qing suddenly asked.
Manager Chen was stunned, looked up at the sky for a while, estimated the time, and thought for a while.
"According to common sense, at this time, I will either be sleeping at County Lord Lin's house, or I will be waiting for bathing, massage, and meals at Concubine Yuanchun's house."
Emperor Qing touched his beard and felt a little envious. This cat was more fun to play than the emperor himself.
"Let's go to Xiande Palace."
"yes."
…
Lin Mansion, in the garden.
The family was reunited, and everyone was extremely happy, including Lin Enran, the only son of the Lin family. The boy was running around wildly in the yard, and the boys were watching around him.
Finally found something to rely on!
Look how big sister and that bad cat dare to bully him in front of his parents and steal his food!
From today on, he is the eldest son of the Lin family!
"Daiyu, what's going on with you in the capital? Didn't His Majesty send Jinwu Guards? Why do you need to take action yourself?
Bloody Hand Butcher? With this name, I don’t see how you can get married in the future." Jia Min said angrily.
Lin Daiyu was helpless: "There were too many enemies at that time. If the battle could not be resolved quickly, my brother would be in danger.
Moreover, mother, you also know that this hand has a weapon, and the murderous intention arises naturally. If it is so powerful, sometimes I can't help but do it myself."
Jia Min thought deeply: "Hey, yes, why are those enemies so weak? One punch and one kick, they hit from the east to the west of the city without blinking an eye."
Lin Daiyu also sighed quietly, there were fewer and fewer people in the world who could communicate with people like them on an equal footing.
Even with her current strength and five senses, when looking at other people, she sometimes feels that they are no longer the same human race. The gap between the two is almost astonishing.
Listening to the two women happily discussing the matter of killing people, Lin Ruhai's face was filled with sadness.
Aren’t these two ladies of the family? Why aren’t the topics they are talking about some matters related to their daughter’s family, or music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs?
What exactly is the problem?
Lin Enran's pace gradually slowed down, and finally he sat down on the chair obediently.
He is definitely not afraid of this delicate and beautiful sister, it is just that the elder sister is like a mother. This is a sign of respect and admiration for the two mothers!
After chatting for a while, Lin Ruhai said intentionally or unintentionally: "Daiyu, Enran, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for a few days when I come back this time.
When I met with His Majesty yesterday, he asked me whether I wanted to stay in the capital as a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, or go to a local place to guard a place for him.
You also know that I am a scholar, and the highest goal of a scholar is of course: to make meritorious deeds, to establish good reputations, and to establish virtue.
If you can do some practical things for the people of the world while you are still alive and still have the strength, then your life will be worthwhile."
Lin Daiyu smiled: "My daughter congratulates dad on his promotion."
"Hahaha~" Lin Ruhai held her beard and laughed.
As a father, the most satisfying thing is of course the admiration and admiration of his children.
Jia Min gave him a charming look.
It would be great if she could laugh so loudly in bed. As her body strengthens, although the sensitivity in her body increases greatly, she can experience ultimate happiness anytime and anywhere.
But every time she communicates with her husband, she has to try her best to control her body, otherwise she can easily win and end the battle.
Noticing his wife's eyes, Lin Ruhai felt a chill in his heart.
"Hey, where is Lele?" Lin Ruhai asked casually.
He is in urgent need of a physical training martial arts, very urgent!
"Meow~" A small golden kitten came out of Lin Daiyu's arms.
The round blue eyes, the little ears twitched, and the little tail swung back and forth, brushing the girl's nose from time to time, making her brush it away dissatisfied.
Lin Ruhai was a little cautious.
At first he thought Lele was just an ordinary strange beast, but as his wife and daughter showed more and more powers beyond ordinary people. Although they were far away in Lianghuai, he felt more and more extraordinary about them.
What kind of power or majesty can allow a weak daughter like his wife and daughter to achieve world-class martial arts in a short period of time?
The most important thing is that so far, even the founding ancestors of the Jia family do not have such power, and there is no precedent to follow.
Is this a cat spirit?
"Brother Le, see if you can also teach me how to practice Kung Fu and strengthen my body." Lin Ruhai, a third-grade officer, rubbed his hands and said a little shyly.
As a scholar, his reason for practicing kung fu is not common to outsiders. It is just to deepen his roots, work hard, and make his married life more harmonious.
Lin Daiyu:???
This father is lowering her seniority. Wouldn't it mean that Lele will be humbled in the future? She is still waiting for the dream to be fulfilled and will keep Lele under her.
"Dad, it just so happens that Lele and I recently compiled a peerless martial arts that has a bright future, is extremely powerful, and can even reach the realm of heaven and man. I'll teach you." Lin Daiyu said softly.
"Oh, what is it like?" Lin Ruhai was curious.
"I call it the way of the dreamer.
This martial art absorbs the power of the seven emotions in the world of mortals and strengthens the spirit. When it reaches a certain level, one can look inside the spirit, and then use the gods to influence the body to transform, evolve, and give birth to essence.
Finally, the three elements of essence, energy and spirit are unified into one, and we embark on the path of a true dream master. Enter the Tao through dreams, and after great success, you can achieve the dream world, refine falsehoods into reality, and become the master of the world."
Lin Daiyu's pretty face is serious and a little proud.
Lin Ruhai:???
He understood every word his daughter said, but he couldn't understand even a single sentence in total. The key was the mystery.
I don't know how serious it is.
Could it be that their family is not practicing martial arts, but cultivating immortality?
Glancing at the little yellow cat that was already lying on his shoulder, Lin Ruhai had some doubts. Could it be that the purpose of a cat's life is to find a comfortable place to lie down.
But seeing that the Lord God had no objections, Lin Ruhai gritted his teeth.
"Daughter, come and teach me!"
Having a weak husband is the most uncomfortable thing for a man! He wants to become a strong man and a master!
Lin Daiyu smiled and took out a jade pendant: "Practice this technique, because it involves the seven emotions and six desires, and the power of the mortal world, ordinary people can easily be affected by the seven emotions and six desires, and fall into madness without knowing it.
Therefore, dad must keep calm and guard his heart at all times, and wear this jade pendant every day.
Moreover, mother must remember to always help dad enter the state of a sage, without thoughts, desires, or desires, so that he can be foolproof and pursue the great path."
The little yellow cat looked at the gold thread on the jade pendant and fell into deep thought.
