Chapter 251

The little eunuch who was with the emperor was named Wei Zhu, who was the same age as Yu Zhu, with fast legs and quick hands and feet. The most rare thing is that he was very good at looking at the eyes.

Liang Jiugong often accompanied the emperor, and the little eunuch Wei Zhu played errands silently. Gradually, after being promoted by Liang Jiugong, he became the eunuch in charge of a department.

In this Forbidden City, the eunuch has reached the peak, so that is Liang Jiugong like that?

He is deeply trusted by the emperor and the largest eunuch, who is in charge of all the eunuchs in the palace. Wei Zhu occasionally thinks, when Eunuch Liang is old, there will always be a place for those young people to use their skills?

If you stay up for a few years and do more things, you might be as glorious as Eunuch Liang?

The old seniors all said that the golden whisk in Liang Jiugong's hand is a symbol of status. Holding the whisk in his hand makes people feel like they are walking.

Therefore, when Kangxi ordered all the eunuchs in the Qing Dynasty to hand over a whisk, Wei Zhu was flattered.

He has been with Eunuch Liang for several years, and now he has got a silver whisk!

At this moment, Wei Zhu took over the task and hurried to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, holding a silver whisk in his hand.

He arrived outside the Ministry of Revenue and before he entered it, he heard Chen Tingjing's resistance: "Your Highness, you can't do it!"

"Gou thinks it's OK, Lord Chen, don't struggle!"

"No, no..."

Wei Zhu looked inside curiously, and saw Lord Chen holding the account book tightly with both hands and refusing to approach the prince. His steadfast and unyielding appearance looked like a good wife who was attracted by bandits.

Other officials from the Ministry of Revenue were divided into two factions, and some of them tried their best to persuade him: "Shangshu Chen, it is a good thing to turn over the accounts. If you rewrite it in the form, scale, etc. mentioned by His Royal Highness the Prince, you can see at a glance."

Another group of people persuaded the prince: "Your Highness, please let Lord Chen go. The emperor said that the excess silver in the treasury will prepare for war. Even if foreign trade makes a lot of profit, Lord Chen will not be able to accommodate it."

The prince said aggrievedly: "Gou didn't say you wanted to use money. Gou just said to see how much money you made. Can you use it to prevent orphans like a thief? No matter what, Gou is also working in the Ministry of Revenue."

Chen Tingjing swears to death: "Will you tell me how many accounts you have?"

The prince will definitely dance above the emperor's bottom line and spend all the money he can use in the end.

"The remaining wealth of the treasury is very important, and it is related to the future development of the Qing Dynasty. The emperor said that we must leave room to deal with the accidents that will occur later."

To let the prince know how much is left, then one plan after another goes to the cabinet, and the emperor's case is in front of the emperor, even Chen Tingjing himself is not sure whether he can control himself or not.

What if the emperor cannot control himself and imagine the new blueprint for future construction, what should he do if the court officials are too eager for quick success and instant benefits due to temptation?

The emperor said that a sober person in the court needs to face the temptation given by His Highness the Crown Prince. When the emperor himself is deeply involved, someone needs to jump out and remind them to wake him up to see if he is too eager.

Kangxi: That person is my dear!

Chen Tingjing is facing very high pressure. He still has his ideals and ambitions that have not been realized. How can he resign directly like Sha Cheng?

Sometimes, Chen Tingjing really wants to transfer to other departments and courts to do things, and he no longer wants to stay in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!

Wei Zhu's arrival rescued Chen Tingjing. If he had come one step later, he might have seen Lord Chen being forced into the corner and being angry.

The prince regretfully gave up talking to Lord Chen and turned around and said to Chen Tingjing: "Ama Khan called Gu over, that's right. Gu will ask Khan Ama to ask for the imperial edict. With Khan Ama's order, Lord Chen will not refuse again, right?"

Chen Tingjing looked cold and looked stern: "Then you also want the emperor to get the imperial edict!"

He held several books tightly, like an old hen that was catching a chicken with an eagle.

The Minister of Revenue has read this account book and has handled many officials. It records the profits of foreign trade in commercial taxes, which is not a secret that needs to be kept. If it weren't for Chen Tingjing's first discovery, the Right Minister Jiang Hongdao almost sent the account book to the prince.

After the prince left regretfully, Chen Tingjing severely criticized Jiang Hongdao's behavior.

"We are in our current position, and we are in charge of the treasury and the entire Qing Dynasty's money bag. How can we give up our bottom line because of our personal relationships? Are you 'in-one with the prince'?!"

Jiang Hongdao: "..."

The other officials whispered: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is not a villain, and it is not for the purpose of committing crimes when looking at the account book."

"Shh, say a few words. Chen Shangshu was recently stimulated by the prince's memorial to become a frightened bird."

"The emperor gave Lord Chen another task, which is difficult for Lord Chen to do."

The only thing that the emperor blamed himself for not rejecting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but asked his ministers to be "evil people". Lord Chen was caught among them and could not suffer much. The ice water was poured above and the flames were roasting below. How to resist the temptation from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's painting of a big cake is the biggest difficulty he faced in decades of his official career!

Chen Ting muttered: "The Emperor said that before the war is confirmed, any major project that requires consuming treasury and silver will be postponed."

Yinreng followed Wei Zhu and glanced at the whisk in his hand. He felt that the whisk looked familiar. Why was it so similar to the silver whisk that Khan Ama beat him to break?

"Eunuch Wei, your whisk?"

Wei Zhu smiled and said, "The emperor rewarded the eunuchs with posts in the Qianqing Palace. The big eunuchs who are in charge of one place like slaves hold silver whisks in their hands."

Yinreng felt a big head: Why did he feel that he was surrounded by a whisk overnight?

【For the convenience of beating a big friend?】

No, no, when he grows up, Khan Ama beats him, which is equivalent to beating himself in the face. In the future, everyone knows that the emperor teaches filial sons under the stick, and they are not allowed to secretly laugh at Khan Ama behind others.

Therefore, letting the eunuchs take the whisk also to intimidate him, and he must be kept dead at all times, so that he will not be distracted by saying a few more words.

On the other side, Wendurgegen waited for a short time and saw the prince coming in a hurry.

Kangxi said to Wendurgegen: "The scientific development of the capital was promoted by the prince. The prince understood astronomy and geography, and was very proficient in the study of things. Perhaps he could answer many doubts about Zhebu Zunba."

Yinreng was thrown to Zhebu Zunba by Kangxi, and stared at the knowledgeable living Buddha.

Wendurgegen asked in a warm voice: "This microscope is formed by several raised glass mirrors. I have always known that there is a saying of telescopes, which can magnify the gap by 750 times. How did it be done?"

Yinreng said: "This is a long story, and the principle of optical needs to be mentioned."

Wendurgegen would not retreat easily. He firmly believed that this microscope that could observe the tiny world was a powerful invention of Pangu, which was enough to change people's understanding of the world.

He had enough patience to explore a deeper mystery, which was of great help to practice: "Please say this, Your Highness."

Yinreng cleared his throat and sat upright and said: "The microscope is essentially formed by a combination of convex lenses. It uses its different focus to achieve the effect of convex lenses to cover the convex lenses. For example, the farther objective lens can be enlarged by 100 times, while the other eyepiece close to the human eye can be enlarged by seven times. Then, under the combination, the product is obtained, and the total magnification is..."

The more he said, the more confused Zhebu Zunba became. Seeing this, Kangxi smiled deeper in his eyes.

The principles of microscopy involve optics and mathematics, and these two studies were learned.

When the prince repeated the retelling, he immediately understood that his mind was as confused as Zhebu Zunba, and his mind had not turned around yet.

Kangxi felt a sense of pride and superiority in his heart: My prince is smart and knowledgeable. It turns out that he is as wise as Zhebu Zunba, and he is also accused of being.

He couldn't help but sigh: Science is really a mysterious and fascinating thing. Fortunately, I am enlightened enough to support Baocheng in setting up the Qing Dynasty Research Institute.

I have always been in the capital city, maybe I don’t think the changes that have been happening every year are amazing. When I look deep inland nomadic tribes, I suddenly feel that their management methods are so primitive and backward.

To teach Zhebu Zunba optics and mathematics, of course, it is more understandable to teach on-site.

Yinreng took him to the Royal Institute of the Qing Dynasty, and started from the basics of optical and explained the principles of microscopes thoroughly.

Yinreng: To be honest, it is very novel to talk about science with the living Buddha.

Zhebu Zunba is obviously very interested in the various inventions of the institute, including grain research, livestock research, and fertilizer research, which are closely related to people's livelihood, and there are also pumping toilets and rubber rain boots that change people's lives...

He also put on rain boots himself and tried to walk in the mud.

In response to rainy days, in addition to rain boots, rain ponchos, umbrellas, and carriages are also wrapped with rubber to prevent shock.

Now the institute has set up a new project called "Get’s Milk/Milk’s Bacterior and Preservation Method".

All this is also due to the introduction of Holstein cows, which combined with scalpers to produce local dairy cows with abundant milk production. These dairy milks were first supplied from the ranch to surrounding areas. With a microscope, you can see the bacteria in fresh milk. The institute found that if the high-temperature boiling method is adopted, the bacteria in cow milk can be reduced a lot.

Zhebu Zunba visited with relish and had the opportunity to taste a cup of food called chocolate milk.

The next day, Yinreng made an appointment with him to take him to visit the Medical Research Center of the Qing Dynasty.

The Medical Research Center has an anatomical room and all medical books that can be collected from ancient times to the present.

Starting from anatomy, I deepened my biological knowledge. What is placed in front of Zhebu Zunba is a new door to a new world!
