Bai Jin was a missionary from France. In the records of the Qing Dynasty, the name France was translated into the Frank Kingdom before the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Because the Qing Dynasty was in seclusion for too long and did not understand the outside world, and knew that it had received documents from French envoys, it was learned that it is now translated as Frank, or a country in France. The name of the dynasty is called the "Borbourne Dynasty".

Bai Jin praised the beauty and prosperity of the Qing Dynasty in a praising tone, and even the food he received at the inn was so exquisite.

He recited Kangxi emotionally in a smooth Chinese language: "Great Emperor, our King Louis XIV has sent us to bring a letter of state to express your sincere greetings to you. The king is very looking forward to cooperating with the Qing Dynasty. It is so lucky to be able to come to the beautiful Qing Dynasty this time. His Majesty the King also sent us to send you a gift and wish you happiness."

It is already very good for foreigners to speak Chinese smoothly. It is also within the acceptable range of Kangxi's words and tones when they bring some of their country's words and tones. After all, Bai Jin was very familiar with the etiquette of the Qing Dynasty, and perhaps because he was Nan Huairen's suggestion. He was not pretentious when he came to meet the emperor, and he was unambiguous when he was supposed to kneel down.

There were four other missionaries who followed Bai Jin to the Qing Dynasty, named Hong Ruohan, Li Ming, Zhang Cheng, and Liu Ying, all of whom were named after the Qing Dynasty. From this point of view, we can see the sincerity of France's visit to the Qing Dynasty.

Nan Huairen was old and now sick, so Kangxi did not summon him to the front, but approved Bai Jin to come to the palace alone to pay homage to him.

When the gift was given, Bai Jin introduced: "This is the latest telescope 'quadrant quadrant' in our country, which can measure astronomical altitude. In addition, there are leveling instruments, astronomical clocks, etc., which will be presented to the emperor together."

France's altimeter telescope is much more mature than the existing technology of the Qing Dynasty. Kangxi looked fresh, Yinreng's eyes lit up. He thought about how to ask Khan Ama to come and dismantle it and study it.

Kangxi raised his eyebrows and threw a proposition to Bai Jin: "How about my Qing Dynasty palace compared to the Versailles Palace in Bourbon?"

Bai Jin flattered Kangxi very unprincipledly: "Your country is a great country, and the palace is more grand, beautiful, and has completely different charm than the Versailles Palace in our country."

Bai Jin was full of love for everything in the Qing Dynasty, and his praising made Kangxi very surprised.

Kangxi raised his eyebrows and said, "You are not afraid of offending your king."

Bai Jin said: "The people in our country always say whatever they think in their hearts. Only by being honest can we be respected. I will never lie to the emperor. If the person who comes to ask me this question today is His Majesty the King, I would have answered this way."

I have to say that Kangxi was in a good mood to praise him. He looked at Bai Jin and even relaxed his eyebrows.

Yinreng and Yinzhen looked at each other.

Yinreng: This is the highest level of flattery. Louis XIV is not here anyway.

Kangxi was satisfied and invited envoys from the Bourbon dynasty to attend the banquet. The banquet included fine wine and food, beauties dancing, and music to entertain the fun. The Qing Dynasty palace music was another completely different charm, which made Bai Jin and the other five fascinated.

Maybe he had drunk too much, Bai Jin felt that he was urinating, so he could control himself from touching the drink, but he was really uncomfortable and couldn't sit down.

Kangxi sat in the upper head and introduced Yinreng and Yinzhi to Bai Jin: "They are both my sons, the older one is the eldest son, and the younger one is the crown prince."

In order to express sincere greetings, Bai Jin had to toast the eldest son and the crown prince one after another.

The words of praise were like running out like no money. Bai Jin praised Yinzhi for his handsome appearance. It would be fine if he looked talented. The baby fat on Yinreng's face had not yet disappeared. He also praised Yinreng: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is a beautiful man who is rare in a century. Not only is he handsome, but his temperament is so noble."

Yinreng's smile was slightly stiff: Beautiful...beautiful man?

He looked down at his thin arms and fell into deep thoughts and entanglement.

When I exaggerated my brother, I was handsome, but when I got to him, I became a handsome man. Junya brought the word "Ya" and was not handsome or cool at all!

Could it be because the lonely figure is too thin?

Yinreng quietly pinched his flat biceps and ate two more pieces of meat. After eating, he decided to practice muscles before going to bed at night.

Bai Jin's urination became stronger and dense beads of sweat emerged from his forehead.

Kangxi told everyone here: "There is no need to be restrained at the banquet. If the envoy has any requests, he can ask the palace people."

Behind each envoy is a palace maid and an eunuch.

The little eunuch who is good at observing his expression bowed and asked in a low voice: "If the messenger asks, he can order his servants to do it, whether it is adding wine or anything else."

Bai Jin was very moved. In the Palace of Versailles, the king and queen did not send slaves to serve the nobles when they met them. Compared to the Qing Dynasty's palace, there were maids and male servants serving them, which was great.

He whispered: "I've eaten a little more tonight..."

The little eunuch suddenly realized: "The messenger, please come with the slave, and the slave will take you to the toilet."

Toilet!

In the palace of the Qing Dynasty, toilets were built to facilitate people's excretion. The toilets excreted by slaves and toilets excreted by nobles were different in appearance. The common point was that no matter which toilet it was, they were independent buildings, with complete excretion and collection pipelines, and finally a dedicated person was dealt with and transported away.

Among the messenger team, Bai Jin and Zhang Cheng had the best language talent. Bai Jin told Kangxi: "If we want to learn a language, we can learn it in about half a year. I understand Stuart, Dutch, Russian and other languages. I still think the most extensive and profound one is your country's Chinese."

When Kangxi heard this, he narrowed his eyes: "Is that so? It seems that the envoy put a lot of effort into the Qing Dynasty."

"I sincerely want to know everything about your country. It would be great if the emperor could allow me to learn Manchu language. I would even be willing to stay in the Qing Dynasty and become a part of it."

Bai Jin sighed exaggeratedly and wanted to change jobs to the Qing Dynasty in minutes.

Yinreng: Does this Bai Jin, he didn’t know that being too proactive would arouse Khan’s suspicion?

Sure enough, Kangxi's smile faded: "Oh? Manchu language, it is more difficult to learn Chinese. I have never asked the Han officials to learn Manchu language. It is rare for the envoy to be interested in Manchu language."

Bai Jin seemed to have really not seen Kangxi's reaction. He actively said: "If the emperor allows me, I am willing to learn Manchu language. When I finish my studies, I will definitely write books on geometry and mathematics for the emperor in Manchu language."

Kangxi raised his eyebrows: "Since that's the case, I will give you a chance. If someone comes, I will pass on the imperial edict. I will order Bai Jin to learn Manchu language. If I can learn it, I will satisfy Bai Jin's desire to stay in the Qing Dynasty."

Bai Jin was overjoyed when he heard this. The emperors of the Qing Dynasty were much easier to speak than he thought!

A banquet, the guests and hosts enjoy all their fun.

After the banquet passed away, Kangxi left behind two sons and said to Yinzhi and Yinreng: "Did you see them all?"

Yinzhen said seriously: "I saw it."

Yinreng's confused face, and he didn't understand the brain circuit of Khan Ama and his elder brother: What, what did you see?

Kangxi: "These foreign envoys are eager to come and cooperate with the Qing Dynasty! They say all the good things and I give them some small favors at will, and they will be grateful. If I have any requests, they will run faster than eunuchs, do you know why this is?"

Without waiting for the sons to answer, Kangxi said coldly: "Because the Qing Dynasty has strong national strength, the Qing Dynasty has the huge benefits they have sought, and has enough strength to intimidate them."

"You must remember that these foreign troubles will eventually become a major problem that needs to be managed in the future. These foreigners can hold us for these things, and once we become weak, they will rush up and bite like wolves."

Kangxi educated his two sons, and especially focused on educating Yinreng: "For foreigners, they can be kind and righteous on the surface, but their vigilance in their hearts needs to be kept in mind. Even if they have nationality in the Qing Dynasty, who can guarantee whether their hearts are from the Qing Dynasty? Unless their descendants completely forget where their ancestors came from, they will integrate into this place and become part of the Qing Dynasty."

"So, use them and don't trust them all."

Yinreng nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and climbed up the pole: "Khan Ama, why did you agree to let Bai Jin learn Mandarin? If he had learned Mandarin and Chinese, wouldn't he see everything about the Qing Dynasty and remember it in his heart?"

Yinzhi hesitated and said, "Maybe, Khan Ama doesn't plan to let Bai Jin return to China?"

Kangxi smiled satisfied: "Baoqing is still conscious and understands my thoughts. Nan Huairen is old and may beg for a rest at any time. I need to prepare for the future."

Whether it was the Jesuits behind Nan Huairen or the foreign connections, Kangxi needed someone who could replace Nan Huairen. Bai Jin was lucky and happened to catch Kangxi's eyes at this time.

Yinreng continued: "Foreigners are so active in learning our language, we cannot fall behind! Khan Ama said he could not believe them all, so should we also train translators who belong to the Qing Dynasty?"

Kangxi glanced at him and said nothing.

Yinzhi reminded: "The Qing Dynasty had its own translator, the Ministry of Rites, did Nalan Xingde also train a group of people?"

Yinreng shook his head: "That's too few. There are so many countries that want to contact the Qing Dynasty. They keep sending people here. Why didn't the Qing Dynasty send people out? What is the world outside? It's not enough to just listen to the news brought by others. My son felt that the Qing Dynasty needed to send its own people to go outside, visit the kings outside, and move with other countries so that we can promote the power of a great country! People say that Portugal is the overlord at the sea. When can others think of the Qing Dynasty when they mention the overlord? The Qing Dynasty is still called the Tang Dynasty in Japan. They can't even figure out this out. We have to send people to remind us."

Kangxi: "So, what do Baocheng wants to do?"

The word "典" is used brilliantly, and one word reveals the old father's wisdom and clarity, and can see through Yinreng's inner wisdom at a glance.

Yinreng said: "It is better to build a school to cultivate translation talents from the Qing Dynasty, recruit people with good memory from the people to study, and then post the corresponding translation positions after graduation, or send them out."

The implication is that they directly bypass the eight-legged essay talents selected from the imperial examination and instead recruit students from outside to learn languages. Once they graduate and work, they will not become officials, but will have a new language industry.

Yinzhi said in surprise: "Where did you do this to scholars all over the country?"

"The imperial examination is like tens of thousands of people crossing a single-plank bridge. How many people have worked hard for more than ten years but have not passed the exam. Tens of thousands of people refer to each other every year, and dozens of them are finally selected. So don't the remaining people also need to find a livelihood? It's just to provide a new employment direction, not a mandatory direction. Those who are unwilling to do it can stop themselves. If you want to do these things, you only need to have money to build a school and have connections to ask a teacher. At that time, someone will teach Shu Xiu to sign up."

Yinreng continued to work hard: "Didn't these people trained by Rong Ruo come to be the first batch of gentlemen?"

Kangxi originally planned to carry his two sons to his side to teach him well, especially to beat Yinreng not to take it lightly because he received the French envoy. Unexpectedly, he came up with a new idea.

"The idea that Baocheng said is very good," Kangxi said coldly: "Since you have so many ideas, let me leave it to you if you don't."

Yinreng's eyes met Kangxi, and his heart was filled with coldness.

Kangxi: Don’t be lazy, do you really think you can just say nothing?

"This matter is regarded as a test of my ability to protect me, don't look for Soetu."

Yinreng thought about the troubles, wanted to choose an address, publicize enrollment, ask a teacher, and find a good principal for the school. Moreover, judging from Khan Ama's attitude, it is impossible to find someone with official positions in the court to teach. At most, a civil servant should be sent to be the principal, and Yinreng suddenly became overwhelmed.

I need help!

Yinzhi pretended not to see Yinreng's gaze asking for help and turned his face away.

Yinreng couldn't, so he could only take on a new task dejectedly: "The son is obeying the order."

Kangxi was so angry that he saw his reluctant look.

"I know I want to come out, so I open my mouth and say it. I don't write the rules or memorials. I've spoiled you!"

He said it face to face, without a constitution or memorial, so Kangxi must not ask his ministers to come and discuss it again? At that time, he was busy himself, but the prince was idle. Where did such a good thing come from?

In addition to the plans that have been set, Yinreng's small notebook also has additional additional tasks, which makes Yinreng, who has always been at ease, feel a little flawless.

In order to implement the plan on the small notebook faster, Yinreng had to let his friends down. He returned to the study and sent a letter to Jiangning, calling Azhen who had gone home to Jiangning with Cao Yin to celebrate the festival back to Beijing.

When Chuyi saw Cao Zhen who had not seen for a long time, Yinreng was incredibly walking around him: "Azhen has lost weight!"

Not only did he lose weight, he was also very beautiful. As soon as he saw it, he knew that he would be a handsome man who couldn't take his eyes away in the future.

When talking about this, Cao Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Stop talking, I think it's better for me to be fatter."

"Where is better to be fat? If you get fat, you will breathe when you walk, which is not good for your health," Yinreng said disagree.

"You don't know. I've been hit by evil recently. The Taoist priests say that if I don't get fat, I will have to suffer all the time in the future."

When he heard Cao Zhen’s complaint, Yinreng thought it was something, but he knew that it was “destined to be a peach blossom”!
