No one expected that the prince would "play tricks", nor did anyone expect that the prince would face the secret embarrassment and directly chose to go to the front.

During the whole process, the prince left the impression of simplicity and kindness for the Grand Secretary for his diligence and hard work.

Only those who really designed him complained in their hearts.

Nalan Mingzhu was not the one who originally designed the prince. What he did was just to add fuel to the fire.

Who is the one who targets the prince? There are members of the royal family, those with meritorious nobles, and those with descendants of the Manchu family.

Nalan Xingde knew his father's temperament. If it were in the past, he might have tried his best to persuade his father not to make things difficult for the prince. With Nalan Xingde's character, he did not want to see his biological father frame innocent people, let alone the little prince he had held and taken care of.

But now, the mature and sophisticated Nalan Xingde just wants to persuade his father to stop in time.

As a son, he couldn't say explicitly that he hoped that his father would stop messing around. No matter how hard he tried, he would be a life of loss. The prince was blessed by immortals, and had magical things around him since he was a child. Others didn't believe it, just thought it was the emperor who was building momentum for the prince. Nalan Xingde had seen it with his own eyes and believed that there was an "immortal" around the prince.

Even the earth could be predicted, and even clearly understood that there would be a shaking collapse, and the prince who was safe there should not be a mortal view of him.

Nalan Xingde said helplessly: "You should focus on government affairs!"

Isn’t it enough to suffer losses in the past few times?

Nalan Mingzhu's expression was obviously not easy to listen to advice. He said unhappily: "I have been an official for a longer time than you have studied, so you don't need you to teach me how to be an official."

Nalan Xingde stopped talking. Facing his old father who was getting older and more stubborn, he could only see him invisible.

The second brother Nalan Kui said that his character was exactly the same as that of his elder brother. He was worried when he saw his father and his elder brother seemed to be arguing.

"Did the elder brother parte with his father and leave? Are you once again disagreeing with your political views in the court?"

Nalan Xingde touched his second brother's head and said warmly: "Don't worry, Rongde just devotes himself to studying. Today is different from the past. In the future, the knowledge that is practical in the world will be more important than the empty meaning of the scriptures. You also listen to my brother, learn everything from external learning and science. If you learn it, it will be of great help to you in the future."

Nalan Kuixu said in a daze: "External studies, science, and these studies have caused a stir in the Imperial Academy. Do I also want to learn them?"

The students in the Imperial Academy were studying for the sake of becoming officials. In the past, the only way to become officials was the imperial examination, so they respected Confucian etiquette and studied the eight-legged examination. Now there is an external learning in the court, and scientific methods can be used as an official. Just like the imperial examination that millions of people crossed a single-plank bridge, not everyone can pass the imperial examination. Many people secretly learned external learning and science with the idea of ​​entering the officialdom.

Even though there has never been an arrangement involving these two kinds of knowledge in the Imperial Academy course, it still cannot stop some young people from wanting to learn these thoughts.

As long as there is no explicit prohibition on studying foreign studies and science is guilty, even the teacher cannot stop the supervisor from doing anything after class.

In addition, there is a foreign school in Beijing, and books related to science and foreign school are circulated on the market.

In order to improve the textbooks of Foreign Studies, the lecturer in the Foreign Studies College and Foreign Studies University wrote multiple versions together, constantly improving and subdividing them.

Books such as mathematics and physics are the most common, and bookstores in the capital are sold.

Nalan Xingde nodded and said, "Yes, it is best to learn to increase your horizons and broaden your mind."

Nalan Kuixu hesitated: "But my father did not arrange for me to teach these courses."

"Then I will arrange it for you," Nalan Xingde smiled.

Not to mention the teacher, even the foreign learning books circulating in the capital were printed and sold under his management. With his connections in hand, it was simple to ask a teacher who enlightened foreign learning and science for his younger brother.

As for whether Ama would stop it, it was not within Nalan Xingde's consideration. He went home specifically not to argue with Ama, but to respect his mother.

Nalan Mingzhu's wife is Aisin Jueluo, the daughter of Prince Ajige. Who is Ajige? The brother of the Regent Dorgon.

The old lady was born with a prominent background and had a father's temper. She was very popular and had a few wisdoms. She gave birth to three sons for Mingzhu throughout her life. Nalan Mingzhu was deeply in her mind and smiled. Although she always did something to harm others and benefit herself in the court, her backyard was clean.

Seeing that the eldest son came to find him, the old lady smiled strongly: "I heard that Rong Ruo was angry in the court and asked the prince to bow his head to apologize. The court officials all said that your temperament is very different from previous years, and you are no longer the easy-to-bureaut poet."

Nalan Xingde said helplessly: "That's all the matter before the Emperor's Northern Tour. Did his father tell his mother?"

"How could he tell me this?" The old lady snorted and raised her smile: "I mentioned it when I heard other ladies drink tea. Everyone said that my son is a talented man, and he wrote articles and did practical things. My mother felt proud when she heard it."

She is already a first-class lady of imperial edicts, and her husband's official position is far less than hers than hers, and her son's success makes her even happier.

"Are you making things difficult for you again?" The old lady said lightly: "Don't worry about him, it's enough to do what you love."

The young couple is accompanied by old age. The old lady knows the most.

She wanted to live a life in a closed door, but her husband was the leader of the Yehenara clan and had to do something to push the family to the peak of prestige. Even if she was dissatisfied, she, a woman, was short-sighted and could not make any mistakes in the front yard.

Fortunately, she has an excellent genius son, whose status in the court is like the rising sun, and it is very popular!

When Nalan Xingde heard this, he smiled and said, "Recently, many foreign entourages entered and left the capital, and foreign trade in coastal areas has been on track. It has brought a lot of good things they have to the Qing Dynasty. His son's position is there and he has contacted a lot. He doesn't forget to bring some of the most popular good items to his mother if he has the opportunity."

Among these items are several of the most popular perfumes by the Queen of France, the skin care products that were once preferred by Queen Mary I of England and Elizabeth I, and jewelry from Florence. All kinds of jewelry are exquisite, shiny, noble, and restrained.

Jueluo clapped his hands and said happily: "Rong Ruo knows what he likes best!"

As for Mingzhu, the old man never thought of giving her something to make her happy!

Nalan Xingde knew that in their family, the eldest son, the second son, the third son, the eldest grandson and the younger grandson were all my mother's treasures, and the last one was Ama, whose status was so low that it was sad.

Therefore, if you want your younger brothers to learn foreign learning and science, he doesn't need to win Ama's consent. He just needs to convince his mother and tell her to learn foreign learning well and learn science to increase his knowledge. Then his mother will naturally help him.

In Nalan Xingde's view, it was impossible to hold the right of his younger brothers' education in his hands.

Nalan Xingde also gave two younger brothers an umbrella that they would open by themselves by pressing the mechanism. It is said that the style was also from France, fresh, interesting and practical.

When Nalan Mingzhu learned about this, she was so angry that she didn't have a meal for several days.

"Rong Ruo is in the court, but I still don't know who wants to make things difficult for the prince now?"

They are the descendants of meritorious people who have been touched by new learning, those traditional self-supporting literati, and after the founding generals, they have both civil and military affairs, and there are quite a few!

"When new knowledge rises, there will naturally be an impact on old learning," Nalan Xingde replied: "Even so, the new learning is difficult to stop. Since it is a foregone conclusion, let your younger brothers learn first, and they can avoid many detours in the future. As the prime minister, Amagui naturally has no worse vision than his son, and he also knows how to teach people how to teach the best talent. You just don't want to accept that the prince is the one who leads these."

Nalan Xingde also received the teachings of Mingzhu. A scheming father taught a son with a glorious and beautiful moon. People all said that Nalan Xingde is not like Mingzhu, but they didn’t know that it was a coincidence that Mingzhu taught a Nalan Xingde with excellent character, and is it a coincidence that he taught a Rongde with excellent character and good character?

Nalan Mingzhu was speechless: "It is true that the general trend is going to happen, but the prince will not be able to go smoothly."

There is no such thing as a smooth change. If this is true, the prince's actions may be faster.

"I heard that the prince has received French envoys again?"

Nalan Xingde replied: "His highness heard that the Catholic Church in France was seeking a way to trade. He hoped that Tsarist Russia and the Qing Dynasty could set the border as soon as possible and carry out trade, so he summoned them to inquire about the situation."

The second Battle of Yaxa started. Although all the preparations for the battle were made, Yinreng, located in the capital, was not easy.

If we want to regain as much as possible the Qing Dynasty land, post-war negotiations are also the key.

Yinreng told French envoys Bai Jin and Zhang Cheng: "I heard that there were Catholics from the church in Tsarist Russia who served with the royal family of Tsarist Russia. I also knew that when the two countries were warring, the people of your church would not interfere, but I thought that if you had your people help, perhaps the trade between the Qing Dynasty and your country would be more progress, such as allowing you to establish a stronghold at the Songjiang Prefecture Customs Trade Office to facilitate trade between the two countries."

"Songjiang Prefecture has developed trade, especially cotton handicrafts, and transportation is convenient there, with both water and land access," Yinreng said with a smile: "I also thought about it and wanted to make a deal with your country. When the war ends, if your country can send someone to persuade the Tsarist Russian royal family to retreat more, this trade base will give priority to the merchants from France to choose their location."

It is priority rather than only. The prince’s implication is that the Qing Dynasty will give Western countries more business opportunities in the future. With a trade base, their trade to the mysterious East will no longer be in a state of stagnation, and will be more stable and prosperous!

The French envoy's eyes were red with excitement.

It's good to have priority!

The cunning Englishmen have established trade relations with Taiwan because they are one step ahead. I wonder how many benefits they have gained!

The Dutch envoy tried his best to obtain a stronghold, but the great opportunity was sent to them by the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty.

Although Bai Jin and Zhang Cheng were excited, they refused to say on their face: "Our church does not participate in the war between any country."

"Of course you won't be allowed to participate in the war. What I mean is that after the war is over, the Qing Dynasty will achieve perfect victory. In order to better trade, I hope to cooperate with the French Sun King is more reliable than to cooperate with other countries. After all, you won a great victory in the Battle of France and the Sun King, and the Sun King appreciates Khan Ama. I hope that if the two countries can have common interests, this friendship will last longer."

Yinreng never missed the positioning of French envoys, and did not believe what Nan Huairen said was that the church did not distinguish between national boundaries. He did not know other Western countries, but in France, in order to achieve royal rule, the Sun King Louis XIV expelled Protestants and ruled the country into a Catholic country. These archbishops did not listen to the Pope's orders, but were the orders of Louis XIV.

Yinreng already had a blueprint for the planning of Songjiang Prefecture.

All countries are given the opportunity to build strongholds in Songjiang Prefecture, leaving behind manpower, gather them together, and let them exhibit the goods. Then they are invited to gather in the country to come and provide merchants to select and sign cooperation projects. They are also given seats for merchants from the Qing Dynasty to display the goods of the Qing Dynasty, and for foreign merchants to compete and auction.

Yinreng also named it "Qing Dynasty Import Expo".

As for whether Khan Ama would agree?

Yinreng conducted an experiment and used the fourth brother as a control group to try to convince him face to face.

"There are some foreign trade strongholds along the coast, which are not legitimate and difficult to manage. It is better to cause trouble for the government than to be unified in the government."

Yinzhen said: "Why don't you drive out those who don't follow the rules? Didn't you say that the navy is powerful and is no longer the same as before?"

"It can only treat symptoms but not root causes when you drive out."

Yinzhen: "It has been a tradition since ancient times to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce. It is also the foundation of the country. Do you do this to start focusing on commerce?"

Yinreng: "Agriculture is the foundation of the country and will not change, business is the economy, and no longer curbing is just a relaxation compared to previous years. The major countries with agricultural foundation will not be shaken. Moreover, introducing new technologies can also feed back to agriculture."

"If the Import Expo is held smoothly, the Qing Dynasty can sell the handicraft products accumulated in recent years abroad, and buy scarce things in the country. With the strengths and weaknesses, the treasury revenue is expected to increase by more than ten times in a year or something."

After ascending the throne, Yinzhen, who was deeply troubled by finance, was not as determined as he refused in the previous few times. He heard that the treasury had increased tenfold and he firmly said: "Then do it!"

This ticket is not a loss!

The little fourth brother's eyes were full of greenness.
Chapter completed!
