The promise of the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty to give priority to trade with France, which is quite a temptation!

Although Bai Jin was a missionary, he was loyal to Louis XIV, a powerful king who believed that the power of the king was granted by heaven and wanted to engage in monarchy in France.

In the eyes of the French emissaries, the imperial autocracy of the Qing Dynasty was simply the most "perfect" monarchical autocracy, and the peak of power that their kings have always pursued.

Unlike Kangxi's simple understanding of Louis XIV, Louis XIV's attention to the Qing emperors has lasted for many years. Over the years, France's power at sea has gradually expanded and gradually escaped from Portugal's suppression. What followed was to fight for their maritime hegemony with England, which also wanted to break through Portugal's suppression.

Before preparing to send envoys to the Qing Dynasty, Louis XIV had just gained an advantage in the war with the Netherlands. He was very sure that if he could gain the excellence of the Qing emperor, his kingdom would go further and develop better!

Bai Jin was a man of Louis XIV. The deterrence given to him by the Pope in the Vatican was far less than that of Louis XIV.

He struggled in embarrassment for a moment, but failed to make a promise immediately, but told Yinreng ambiguously: "I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince for a period of time to allow me to ask our king for his opinions. If the king is willing to lift the ban on Descartes's works in Paris, then his works can reach the Qing Dynasty through merchant ships."

Yinreng said regretfully: "It's a pity that Mr. Descartes has passed away. If he was still in the building, I would be willing to write a letter to ask him for mathematics."

He smiled and said, "Gun is very fascinated by science. Although Gun is the crown prince and learns how to manage the country, this does not prevent Gun from exploring the truth of the world. Gun believes that knowledge has no borders, what does the messenger think?"

...

Soon, Bai Jin returned to the post station in a daze. Zhang Cheng and others who had been waiting for a long time gathered up and asked with concern: "How is it? Did Your Highness the Crown Prince agree to trade with us?"

Zhang Cheng shook Bai Jin for a moment, and Bai Jin murmured: "At that moment, I seemed to see the blooming flowers, as dazzling as the sun!"

"What are you talking about?"

Bai Jin came to his senses: "The Crown Prince hopes that we can send two language-savvy learners to study abroad to teach."

Zhang Cheng relaxed and showed joy: "Of course there is no problem. The crown prince needs us, which means we are useful."

The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty neglected them for a while and had no other actions since they met them, which made them very uneasy, fearing that they would return without success on this mission.

"How is the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty? Are he as kind and tolerant as the rumors?"

Only Bai Jin had seen the prince, and four others surrounded him and asked him about the situation.

The imperial majesty of the Qing Dynasty and the rules in the palace were also very strict. It was really difficult to get grace from this harsh emperor. If you can start from the crown prince, it might be a good idea.

Bai Jin nodded and affirmed: "Yes, the Crown Prince is kind and tolerant. He loves to laugh and has no airs. He treats me very politely, and his noble temperament makes me look up to me. To be honest, in France, no prince can have the intrinsic temperament like the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty. He is also very pleasing to the eyes. I feel very honored to talk to him."

He subconsciously ignored the feeling of tension and attributed it to the admiration of people with noble temperament. In fact, during the entire conversation, the crown prince did not say anything serious. Every topic was just right, and it would not make people feel aggressive or unlucky. It was only because Bai Jin was not successful, and even chatted for a few casual words soaked his back.

"He has a very profound knowledge!" Bai Jin replied firmly: "He is not only the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty, but also a respectable scholar. He has a huge interest in science and mathematics."

Zhang Cheng was surprised that Bai Jin had such a high opinion of the crown prince. He asked anxiously: "Did he promise to say a few good words to the emperor for our trade?"

Bai Jin fell silent, hesitating whether he should say it.

"What's wrong?"

"The Crown Prince really wants Descartes' manuscripts. If he can get the manuscript of Descartes's works, he will definitely be very happy and will give priority to cooperation with our country in subsequent trade."

Zhang Cheng said in surprise: "A handwritten manuscript of Descartes's works? Did you mention Descartes to him?"

Bai Jin's eyes flashed, but he did not avoid Zhang Cheng's question. This is not the Vatican, nor are they the pope's subordinates. What's there to be afraid of?

Their king Louis XIV had long wanted to drive away all the devoted believers in his country who were loyal to the Pope. Whether the ban on Descartes's writings in Paris was abolished, only a command from the king.

"Yes, I mentioned that because when the prince asked me about math problems, I couldn't answer them. The questions he asked me could be answered perfectly with the Cartesian coordinate system!"

Bai Jin discussed with them: "Don't forget the purpose of our visit, but we must not let the Netherlands. The greedy merchants in England seize the lead in front of us. Because of their relationship with the Zheng family in Taiwan, England has given priority to trade with the Qing Dynasty for more than a year, and has not had the opportunity to come to the capital to meet the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. They are a big step behind us in this regard. This is our advantage. But we must not lose to them in the capital. We French people will definitely show more sincerity to impress the emperors of the Qing Dynasty!"

Bai Jin was the leader of these people. What he said had a huge impact among the messengers, especially in Zhang Cheng's view, let alone Descartes' manuscript, if the Qing Dynasty agreed to conduct a full trade with them, it would be possible even if their king came to meet the Qing emperors in person.

"So, what else did the Crown Prince agree to you?"

Bai Jin told Zhang Cheng with a happy face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if Nan Huairen resigned from his official position, the position in the Imperial Heaven Supervision would be vacant. He would find a way to convince the Qing emperors to consider adopting our people to hold this position, thereby deepening the connection between our two countries."

"This is the best news in the past few days!" Zhang Cheng was also very happy.

The day after Yinreng received the envoys, an eunuch took the emperor's imperial edict to read the imperial edict to several envoys.

The emperor ordered Zhang Cheng and Bai Jin to work in the palace together, while Bai Jin took over Nan Huairen's Imperial Heaven Supervision and obtained the official position and nationality of the Qing Dynasty!

Bai Jin and Zhang Cheng looked at each other and knelt down in surprise to receive the imperial edict.

"I am worthy of being the Crown Prince, I will do my best to say it!"

"I didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would have such a great influence on the decision of the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. We must mention this matter in a reply to the King, so that the King would also pay attention to his attitude towards the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty."

"If possible, it is essential to try your best to please the favor of His Highness," Bai Jin said: "There is an idiom in the Qing Dynasty called 'to what he likes'. Since His Royal Highness likes science, then we should start with science and present France's most advanced science and technology to him."

"I think you may be disappointed about this. The Qing Dynasty's research institutes are no worse than the research institutes in our country. Their research content is even richer, and they have produced many inventions that improve the country."

Bai Jin: "Sure enough, do you still need the help of the king. Do you want Descartes' manuscript for the crown prince?"

From the beginning of asking for Descartes's works to the manuscript, the crown prince's requests were increasing, and Bai Jin did not find anything wrong at all.

To talk about the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty, he really thought that he was a wonderful person who was loved and admired. He was not as unattainable as the few people imagined. He was willing to send someone to receive envoys and bring them to familiarize themselves with everything in the capital.

Bai Jin and others didn't know how to be grateful. In just a few days, they became addicted to the fried noodles, roast duck, roast lamb kebabs, donkey rolls, candied haws in Beijing...

The Qing people were also very wonderful. Their recipes were very rich and had wonderful ideas that were unbelievable. They were not only good-looking, but also delicious! Whether it was fried dough made from swelling dough or cake balls wrapped with glutinous rice, they were all amazing.

In comparison, the only advantage of France is the only dessert made by the palace desserts.

Whether it is cookies or cakes, there are cooks in the French court who are the best at making these. Bai Jin thought that if he could ask the king to come to a cook who is good at these, it might be a good idea to come to serve the royal family of the Qing Dynasty next time the envoy came to the capital.

"There is a bad news to tell you that the Dutch envoy has arrived in the capital."

The faint competition between countries made Bai Jin and others anxious. Fortunately, with the help of the Qing Dynasty crown prince, they had already taken the lead in obtaining the official position of the Qing Dynasty, and two of them even received the Qing Dynasty nationality given by the emperor's grace.

"I will write to the king now. For the sake of friendship with the Qing Dynasty, I think the king will make the most suitable decision!"

Before Louis XIV's reply arrived, Bai Jin and Zhang Cheng, even if they were Lai, they would have to rely on their current positions.

They believed in ways to win the favor of the Qing emperors and princes. The emperors living in the Forbidden City were not so close to each other, and handed them over to Zhang Cheng, who was temporarily in the palace, while Bai Jin maintained good contact with the crown prince as much as possible.

The prince really likes to discuss knowledge with Bai Jin. He also mentioned that he hopes that some scholars can go to the study and teach science to his younger brothers.

Bai Jin promised: "As long as your highness can convince the emperor to allow it, our people will do their best to provide scientific enlightenment and teaching for the little princes."

Shortly afterwards, the crown prince really convinced the emperor and sent Bai Jin, who had already had a job experience around the emperor and had explained the geometry course in detail to the emperor, went to Shangshu to educate the young princes.

Yinreng sent someone to deliver a message to Bai Jin: "Your Highness the Crown Prince said that the young princess has a lively personality. If the envoy directly read the script, the elder brothers would not be able to learn it. If possible, I hope the envoy will bring vivid and interesting courses to the young princes."

Yuzhu, who was responsible for conveying his words, was a little nervous: Your Highness’s request for the messenger is more and more excessive. Now that the messenger has obtained the official position of the Imperial Heaven Supervision, is it inappropriate to give such an embarrassing order?

Unexpectedly, Bai Jin replied to Yuzhu like a chicken blood: "Please convey to Your Highness, please rest assured. I will do my best to bring the most interesting science courses to the little princes!"

Yuzhu was very surprised and did not expect Bai Jin to be so obedient.

He hurried back to Changchun Garden and replied to Yinreng: "The White Messenger agreed to Your Highness's request in one go."

Yinreng was squatting in the vegetable garden, holding a small shovel and fiddling with something.

Cao Zhen was playing with mud and his face was covered in dust. When he saw him holding a handful of red fruit in his hand, he took one and stuffed it into his mouth. He immediately screamed and vomited out: "Ah, it hurts, the tongue hurts so much when this pepper tastes!"

Cao Zhen stretched out his tongue and asked for water to drink. His thin lips were irritated and his eyes were moist and filled with water vapor.

The stupidity of handing the handkerchief for Yinreng was so clear that Cao Zhen was so straight. His elegant prince was already pleasing enough to the eye. In addition, Cao Zhen, the two of them stood together, and each time they were blinding but couldn't help but feel the excitement of watching.

"Is Yuzhu thinking, why Bai Jin listened to Gu's words so much?"

Yinreng wiped his hands with a smile and also picked a few red fruits.

These "peppers" that came from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi are the same as the "peppers" recorded in the Xiaomei system. In fact, they were introduced to the Central Plains in the previous dynasty, but they were not promoted. Recently, the elder brother and shrimp have been quarreled with shrimps. Why not let the kitchen stir-fry spicy shrimps with the grown peppers today?

"I am stupid and can't think of the key." Yu Zhu told the truth. He recalled His Royal Highness's actions in recent days. Apart from sending people to take the envoys to stroll around the capital, he did not do anything else?

Yinreng chuckled: "What's the name of Gu's hand?"

He looked at Cao Zhen, Cao Zhen took a sip of water and finally recovered from La Jin'er. He grinned: "Your Highness was still saying yesterday, that's called making money for nothing!"

Yinreng ordered people to put away the picked peppers and dry them, and said happily: "I also want to thank Khan Ama for his cooperation. It's so happy to have sex with you."

He is obviously not the kind of stingy person, but he just finds fun and a sense of accomplishment in free sex. What should I do? The only thing that is, Khan Ama left him in Changchun Garden and ignored him, which made him have to have fun in other things.

"Tonight, eat boiled fish and spicy shrimp, add Bashu peppercorns, and add some garlic. Go and call the elder brother to come together."

There was no need to go to court or meet with the court officials with the company Khan Ama. Yinreng let go. It was nothing to eat a little garlic, and if you want to smoke it, you could only smoke it.

The days of being confined to Changchun Garden were boring, and there was no other fun to do except study. Yinzhi was not like Yinreng who always entertained himself. When they heard the prince invited him, the two lived close together again, and they came over in a blink of an eye.

The two brothers ate spicy boiled fish, drank the brewed osmanthus wine, and chilled it for a while. That day was really a living god.

"We should cherish our leisure time now. The eldest brother is about to get married. It will be different when we leave the palace and build the mansion."

When talking about this, Yinzhi looked relaxed and even looked forward to it: "If you build a mansion, it means I have grown up."

Boiled fish tastes spicy and stimulates taste buds. The more you eat, the more you eat, the more you eat, Yinzhi ate while wiping sweat. After finishing, he took a sip of wine, which was very comfortable.

"As we grew up, the small plan we set before can be put on the agenda bit by bit."

Yinreng smiled and added a cup to him: "I wish my brother everything he wants in advance and everything goes well."

Yinzhi grinned and clinked with him: "I'm just watching you grow up little by little, and I still can't figure out what you want."

"I always hope that the Qing Dynasty can get better and better. What I do is naturally for the Qing Dynasty and Khan Ama," Yinreng said happily.

The two looked at each other and laughed, and the wine glass made a crisp collision sound. Yinzhi sighed: "I may not have a chance after this meal today." He was not regretful at all, and he was even eager to try it out.

Yinreng was about to speak when he suddenly heard Cao Zhen’s cough and shouted outside the door: “Good luck to the emperor! I’m so kind to pay my respects to the emperor!”

The sound was so loud that it resounded through the sky outside. When the two inside the house heard it, they immediately stopped talking.

The two of them stood up one after another and were seeing the emperor walking inside from Wuyizhai with great strides.

Kangxi's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and when he came in, he smelled the fragrance of boiled fish and spicy shrimp.

The smell was so irritating that it penetrated into his nose, causing his saliva to flood. His stomach, which was not hungry before, now made a gentle purr.

"I think you two are reflecting on your previous mistakes in Changchun Garden," Kangxi pointed to the two sons who came to greet him. The two sons didn't wipe their mouths clean after eating spicy food, and they were in a red circle.

Yinzhi coughed lightly, and withdrew his eyes guiltily. He was about to admit his mistake, but Yinreng smiled and invited him: "Ama Khan is here during the meal time. I think she is still empty. Why not come in with her sons and try fresh food. This is the pepper planted by her son himself!"
