When Kangxi was having breakfast, he suddenly remembered Yuzhu and ordered: "Go and call Yuzhu."
When Yuzhu came and wanted to pay a grand tribute, Kangxi waved his hand and said, "That's all, come and have a meal with me."
But, in full view of the public, we are not alone together.
Yuzhu insisted on giving a big gift and thanked you for your kindness. Then he sat down at the small dining table, picked up his chopsticks, and started to enjoy the meal.
Kangxi knew that Yuzhu's breakfast was usually Cantonese style. However, the breakfast in the palace was no different from Guangzhou, it was all northern style.
The breakfast for Yuzhu was all ordered by Kangxi, such as mutton dumplings, red dates, pickles, soy sauce beef, roasted mutton, etc.
After eating a few bites of the dishes that Kangxi rewarded, Yuzhu was already full.
The red date imperial herbal diet contains too much sugar and is quite suitable for the elderly, but Yuzhu is a guy who doesn't like sweets very much.
After the meal, Yuzhu was about to leave, but Kangxi smiled and ordered: "Guard you, and the imperial gate will listen to the government."
So, Yuzhu walked beside Kangxi's carriage and headed towards Qianqing Gate amidst the envious eyes of everyone.
Today in Qianqingmen, the autumn wind is blowing and the air-conditioning is pressing.
After Kangxi ascended the throne, the important officials of the imperial court paid a grand ceremony. When they stood up, they saw that the jade pillar was actually standing beside the emperor.
Wu Jun nodded secretly. It seemed that his disciple's status in the eyes of the emperor had taken a big step forward.
Li Guangdi blinked, hehe, today's Yuhou is quite as powerful as Yue Le, Prince An of the previous dynasty.
Before Emperor Shunzhi passed away, he had already drafted an imperial edict to be passed on to Prince Yue Le of An.
If the Empress Dowager hadn't threatened to die, Prince An Yue Le would have almost succeeded to the throne. This shows how much Shunzhi trusted Yue Le.
The fourth child stayed in the palace last night and had just commanded to extinguish the fire in Tihe Palace. There was still a bit of smoky smell on his body.
As for the growing popularity of Yuzhu, Lao Si was optimistic about its success.
After all, although Yuzhu is not as handy as Longkodo, he is still much better than Tuoheqi, the prince's best friend.
Lao Ba sighed secretly, alas, Yuzhu stepped on his shoulders and climbed to a higher position step by step, which was quite tricky.
Longkodo felt a little proud in his heart. Although he gradually lost power, his own son became more and more powerful, far more powerful than he was back then.
Standing on the other side of Kangxi was Wei Zhu.
Liang Jiugong was responsible for dealing with the blood in front of Qianqing's gate. He looked unlucky, so he couldn't follow him to the imperial gate.
Wei Zhu, an old boy, has developed real skills. With his head lowered and his eyelids raised, he could clearly see the expressions of everyone in the audience.
Well, the continuous rise of Yuzhu made Wei Zhu secretly wary, but it was just an instinctive rejection of those who competed for favor.
Unlike Liang Jiugong, Wei Zhu has never acted against Yuzhu, which provides the basis for in-depth cooperation in the future.
Around the old emperor, everyone was a sensible person.
Before he could swallow the jade pillar, Wei Zhu decided to cooperate for the time being.
By sharing resources and interests with each other, everyone's interests can be maximized.
After the political discussion began, Yuzhu shut his mouth tightly and made up his mind that he would never speak unless Kangxi asked.
As the military commander who holds the greatest military power in the capital, Yuzhu must know how to advance and retreat in a controlled manner, know how to serve the emperor, and never be second to Nian Gengyao.
However, every time he heard about it, they were all projects that cost money.
Almost instantly, Yuzhu understood Kangxi's thoughts, I am short of money, so I need to find some money quickly.
Ever since Yuzhu's group of people took over the important position of supervisor of Chongwen Sect, Kangxi's private treasury was not short of money.
However, the desire for luxury has always been in Longwangshu.
When it comes to money, more is better, who wants less?
However, when the emperor's southern treasury became abundant, all the yamen wanted to borrow money.
Kangxi handled government affairs with ease. He was also able to practice Tai Chi with ease.
The attempts of the important ministers to borrow money were thwarted one by one by the old emperor.
However, Yuzhu also completely understood that Cao Yin's shipbuilding project must be accelerated.
After the disbandment of the dynasty, Kangxi called Yuzhu into Xinuang Pavilion alone and asked him: "How long will it take for a foreign ship to be built?"
Yuzhu immediately understood that the old emperor was eager to get rich.
In the past, Kangxi always believed that maritime trade with the Western Yi was dispensable.
However, after Yuzhu's arrangement, the revenue of Guangdong Customs, even though it was corrupted a lot, is still very considerable.
Yuzhu is an old bureaucrat and is surprisingly patient.
How many years did Sima Zhongda endure?
Tokugawa Ieyasu, as an old ninja turtle, defeated Oda Nobunaga and Hashiba Hideyoshi successively, and finally became the shogun.
On the other hand, Li Zicheng has already entered Beijing. As long as he can win over the Han landlords and bureaucrats, he can win.
However, Li Zicheng was unable to control himself. Before he could secure his position, Li Zicheng launched a desperate retaliation against the Han landlords and bureaucrats.
As a result, under the joint suppression of Tatar and Han bureaucratic landlords, Emperor Dashun had only been addicted to the emperor for more than a month before he turned into a robber again, and finally lost his life for being a coward.
Ever since Yuzhu was recalled to the capital by Kangxi, he never mentioned the foreign trade matters of Guangdong Customs.
If the matter is none of your business, you must keep it high and not get involved impatiently.
Some things, being too anxious can lead to bad things.
We have to wait until Kangxi is short of money so that what Yuzhu really wants to do can come true.
Kangxi only wanted to make money, but Yuzhu saw an excellent opportunity for overseas actual combat training.
In addition, Kangxi knew the truth in his heart but deliberately did not tell it: the so-called Hongyi cannon and Zimu cannon were actually out of date with the times.
Of course Yuzhu could see it more clearly than Kangxi.
The European foreign devils' sail battleships, naval guns, and field guns, in terms of craftsmanship, range, and power, have all left the Qing Dynasty far behind the times.
What does Cao Yin know?
Since Nersu lost his title, Cao Yin could only rely on the towering tree of Yuzhu.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Times have changed!
Now, Yuzhu asked Cao Yin to go east, but he would never dare to go west.
The Yongding River is too narrow and the draft is very shallow, so only small boats can be used.
When Kangxi asked Yuzhu for his opinion, Yuzhu naturally put forward a rational suggestion to build a shipyard in Dagukou, Tianjin.
Dagukou is less than four hundred miles away from the capital, and the imperial army can arrive day and night.
Since the upper reaches of the Gu River are too narrow and too shallow, foreign ships with huge tonnage can at most pass through the mouth of the Gu River (Hai River) and upstream to the city of Tianjin Wei.
If large-tonnage foreign ships continue to move westward, they will inevitably run aground in the river.
Kangxi wanted to make money. After Yuzhu left the palace, he took his entourage and boarded a shallow-draft flat-bottomed official ship from the Yongding River and sailed towards Dagukou in Tianjin Wei.
Yuzhu stood on the bow of the boat with his hands folded, facing the wind, feeling unusually comfortable.
Hehe, with the shipyard as a cover, the foreign Japanese technicians who Yuzhu spent a lot of money to hire from Europe to make guns, cannons, surveying and mapping, and shipbuilding would be put to use.
According to Yuzhu's plan, research on the metallurgical process of steelmaking must continue.
In line with the principle of putting talents first, Xiao William hired several Dutch shipbuilders for Yuzhu to survey the terrain near Dagukou to find a suitable location for the factory.
How to build a sail-type ocean liner? Yuzhu is indeed a layman.
However, it is certainly impossible for Yuzhu to make Zhang Zhidong's mistake.
In history, Zhang Zhidong was touted as a master of Westernization, which was actually a huge fallacy.
This man, also known as Zhang Nanpi, not only moved the Hanyang Iron Works away from the iron mines, but also invested huge sums of money to build a steel-making furnace that did not match the properties of the iron ore.
Hanyang Iron Works smashed a huge amount of silver, but Zhang Zhidong's hands did not produce even a furnace of molten iron.
This is actually a classic case of bureaucrats making decisions on the fly.
Zhang Nanpi is actually a typical bureaucrat who does not respect the laws of science and technology.
Yuzhu was different. After he arrived at Dagokou, he gave full authority to the Dutch shipbuilders in public. He could do whatever they wanted without interfering indiscriminately.
In fact, what Yuzhu has to take care of is very simple, just four words: do a good job in logistics.
Let Alice teach the shipbuilding apprentices and actively learn foreign languages so that they can learn various techniques from the foreign craftsmen.
The money is sufficient, the salary is paid on time, the life is guaranteed, and the wife and children can be brought to live with them for free.
The light of science and technology comes from the west, this is a fact.
However, Yuzhu knew very well that even if the UK had a certain degree of technological blockade, it was nothing compared to the patent restrictions of later generations.
To put it bluntly, the scale of the shipyard was still small, and the shipbuilding plan given by Kangxi was only ten ships.
However, as long as the framework for climbing the technology tree is established, under the guidance of Yuzhu's macro-strategy, sooner or later the flower of modern technology will bloom!
Yuzhu himself is an expert in the field of metallurgy. He knows better than anyone else that there are no shortcuts or tricks in steel-making materials.
We can only do experiments in a down-to-earth manner, summarize the rules honestly, and work hard to cultivate technical talents.
Apart from that, it's a huge waste of money.
If you want to make good steel but don't want to spend money, how can there be such a wonderful thing?
After World War II, Germany and Japan were both defeated countries, but they were able to rise again as economic and technological powers in a short period of time. They relied on the correct attitude towards scientific laws and the positive accumulation of talents.
When Yuzhu arranged everything, Cao Yin followed him.
However, Cao Yin remained silent and allowed Yuzhu to make various decisions.
To this day, if he doesn't rely on the jade pillar that is rising in the sky, and if he continues to commit suicide half-heartedly, Cao Yin is a pure stupid ass!
Yuzhu stayed in Tianjin for ten days, and Cao Yin was always obedient.
In a nutshell, Cao Yin will do whatever Yuzhu says. Cao Yin will never interfere in matters that Yuzhu doesn't let Cao Yin take care of.
Well, in view of Cao Yin's awareness of current affairs, Yuzhu sent someone to bring Cao Chun and Xiao Tiechui to Dagokou.
After all, Cao Yin is a serious shipbuilder, and it is necessary for Yuzhu to win him over with family affection.
