Chapter 252

Yinreng found that the spinning machine that was popular in the Qing Dynasty is called the three-spinned spinning wheel. It was passed down from the Yuan Dynasty. According to records, it was thanked by Huang Daopo that women were not easy to create spinning. This spinning wheel that could spin three yarns at the same time has undergone two dynasties and the technology has long been mature.

Yinreng mentioned that having enough wool can expand the output of the textile industry. If the Academy of Sciences can improve the pedal spinning wheel created by Huang Daopa based on its predecessors, from spinning three at the original at the same time to spinning multiple ones, the spinning yield can be increased.

"Developing a new type of spinning industry is also an open source type. Mr. Chen always says that the national treasury is not enough. In fact, as long as a part of the money is invested in the early stage, the capital will be repaid later."

The premise is that we need to trade with Khalkha Mongolia and obtain their cattle, sheep and horses, wool for textiles, cattle for plowing the land, and good horses are priceless, and the supply of good horses in the Korean army is not enough!

No! Supporting Khalkha for development is a bottomless pit. Khalkha is far away from the capital. The grasslands there are vast and boundless, and the climate is much colder than the capital. Who is willing to go? Which minister is not in the court and can’t think about it and go to Khalkha?

Chen Tingjing was determined not to be tempted by His Highness the Crown Prince to draw a big cake, but the emperor's firm will has begun to shaky!

Yinreng said: "The national treasury is tight. We need to open source. In the early stage of opening source, investment will be rewarded. Where can I buy or sell in this world? This suggestion is good for governing Mongolia. Since the Qing Dynasty accepted the obedience of all the Khans, leading the Khalkha tribes to a happy life is also something that the court needs to consider."

For a moment, Zhebu Zunba himself became a background board, as if the fierce debate in the court had nothing to do with him. Today's court meeting was also announced by the emperor, but he did not expect that the court would be so lively. Even if the crown prince of the country needed to do something, he had to speak out and persuade the court officials to agree. The emperor was reminded by Lord Chen and took the lead in restraining himself.

He thought quietly, observing the fiery government with clear eyes. Now there are four princes involved in the government. The eldest prince is still martial, and the other two princes are still young. They can't see any characteristics for the time being.

When he saw today's court, he seemed to see the slowly rising sun. The old ministers struggled endlessly, and the young ministers later followed suit, healthy and hot, and had a bright future.

Chen Tingjing retorted: "Which project in the court today does not require huge money? It is true that Your Highness relies on foreign trade to make the treasury revenue, but the development suggestions you put forward are enough to queue up at the gate of the treasury."

"This time the border negotiations on the alliance, the Junggar Khan tribe came to attack, which exposed his wolf ambitions. His Royal Highness and the Khan Kings saw it with their own eyes, and they must have expected that there would be a great battle between the Qing Dynasty and the Junggar Khan tribe."

Chen Tingjing firmly told Yinreng: It is good to open up sources, but it needs to open up sources moderately. Not only does it need to open up sources but also reduce expenditure!

Yinreng said: "Can't these things be prepared for the war?"

Chen Tingjing Liangliang said: "So, do you still want to send the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' interpreter to various Western countries?"

"All researches in the institute have always been a big deal."

“The maintenance of external education is also very cost-effective.”

"Not to mention the Medical Research Institute, the treasury has been spending money to help the Medical Research Institute overcome various diseases, thinking that this is for the advancement of medicine and can extend a person's life span."

"The basic medicine you mentioned is that it costs even more to train doctors. According to the national casualties of the Ministry of Personnel, the average lifespan of men is about 33 and about 35 for women. This is indispensable and I have no objection to it."

Extending the lifespan of men and women in middle age is a good thing for private production. The base of mature men and women is large and there are many people engaged in work. The country will not be less vitality and the national treasury will not be less.

Chen Tingjing continued to count the major items of the treasury expenditure one by one. In addition to the construction, road construction, and disaster prevention and relief that need to be left over every year... He asked Yinreng: "Do you still need to organize an import expo?"

Yinreng: "..."

I'm deadly!

"The foreign trade profits are huge, and the huge profits of the jade pendant have also increased the national treasury savings, but they can't stand the more and more big items going out like flowing water."

The court meeting was in a state of anxiety, and the court officials looked at each other. Even the princely hardcore like Soetu, shed tears of bitterness for Chen Tingjing's hardship in his heart.

Yinreng became weak and asked Kangxi: "Does the Khalkha Mongolia still need to be managed?"

Yes, that's a must!

How much investment in governance must be reduced and then reduced.

Chen Tingjing openly stood up not to give Zhebu Zunba his face, but to remind the emperor, "Be careful when you open your mouth!"

At the same time, he was also reminding the prince, "You can take a good look at how much money you have set up!

Kangxi thought deeply: It is a good thing to be able to win over the Mongols. War is about to begin. If Khalkha can be stabilized, they will be the greatest help in the future. This is not a loss.

The prince thief, seeing Khan Ama hesitating, he saw Lord Chen’s “blood and tears indictment” and directly threw the problem to the living Buddha: “Zhebu Zunba, what do you think about this?”

Wendurgegen smiled and said, "The development of the Mongolian tribe depends on the local herders themselves. The Khans have also accumulated a lot of wealth in the past few years. In terms of money, it would be better if the Qing Dynasty supports it. At the same time, we are willing to contribute our own labor to a better life."

In the past, after a tribe surrendered, they could get the benefits of the court for nothing, but now it is not possible.

Zhebu Zunba visited Beijing and took the most cutting-edge things in his eyes. He concluded that the Qing court had already led too much, and it was the most correct decision to lead the Khan army to surrender this time.

He wanted to develop more long-term and hoped to maintain a good temperature with the Qing court for a long time. In this way, the court needed to be assured to obtain stability and protection, and to gain better benefits and development prospects for his tribe. If it was just an emperor's reward, it would be a matter of one day and one night. If such rewards became the norm and they would enjoy it without paying anything, they would slowly become enemies over time. In the end, they would not be able to make money, and the connection between the tribe and the court was weak, and what awaited them was the result of conquest by force.

“We hope that young people with ambition come to Khalkha to help us,” said Dzebu Zumba. “Although the journey is long, I can make a promise that the officials who come will be treated like VIPs in Khalkha.”

When Chen Tingjing heard that it was not for nothing, his face suddenly improved a lot. He also heard that the Khan had accumulated a lot of savings over the years, and his dark face turned from gloomy to sunny before.

As for whom to send to support the establishment of schools, clinics, etc. in Khalkha, most officials in the court were unwilling to do so. Those who hold high positions naturally did not want to leave the comfortable capital. Only young people with lofty ambitions and great ambitions were willing to go to Khalkha to show their strengths.

Building a school requires literati, and building a medical clinic requires imperial physicians.

Kangxi asked in the court: "Who is willing to go on a mission to Khalkha?"

No one in the court dares to answer.

Zhebu Zunba was not surprised by this.

In the end, Kangxi decided to select capable people from the young people who failed to participate in the court meeting among the various departments and colleges, and required that they understand the science, mathematics, astronomy that is prosperous in the capital now, and be able to work hard without fear of hardships. The ministers of various departments and colleges recommended each other's names, and some mentioned Ding Sikong, who was quite famous in Jiangsu.

The Qing court would provide some help, and people would also need to arrange the funds provided by the Ministry of Revenue to implement them. When we arrive in Khalkha, the use of various expenses and the contact with the Qing court would all require civil officials to do it.

So the emperor chose Wang Shu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to take charge of the matter.

Wang Yu was still young, nearly eight years younger than Chen Tingjing. He has been in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for too long. He has been in the Hanlin Academy from a fresh young man to middle age.

Perhaps others are unwilling to go to Mongolia, but for Wang Shu, it is not necessarily a disaster.

Yinreng: It’s not that he never returns. He is the desire of Khan Ama to govern the Mongolian tribe. Whoever goes there will be a promotion when he comes back.

For a period of time, the court officials began to prepare for the New Year, and everyone was covered in work.

Before the weather was completely cold, the first batch of envoys from the Qing Dynasty carried nearly twenty envoys, equipped with navy and sailors, and were recommended by foreigners, and crossed the sea one after another.

On that day, the people in Fujian port were boiling, and thousands of people gathered. Dozens of huge warships drove towards the endless sea with great confidence.

On the other side, the Mongolian Khan kings and Zhebu Zumba took the Qing officials who had gained them and embarked on the way north to return to their hometown.

Yinreng stayed in the capital and could only see them off with Khan Ama to the outside of the capital.

Khalkha faced the Junggar Khan tribe directly, which was the closest eye to the enemy and was also the first line of defense of the Qing Dynasty.

In order to allow the Khalkha Mongol to have sufficient defense and supplies during construction so as not to be isolated and helpless, the emperor gave Sabsu, located in Udinsk: Once there are signs of invasion of the Junggar Khan tribes, they should immediately support the Khalkha Mongol tribes.

At the same time, the Khan of the Zasak Khan tribe was killed by the invasion of the Junggar Khan tribe. Kangxi expressed deep grief and issued an imperial edict to designate the Khan's brother Wangce as the new Khan Khan king.

After Tushetuhan and his group walked away, the emperor then brought the court officials and the princes back to the Forbidden City.

Kangxi asked Yinreng: "I didn't see the huge ship traveling with my own eyes, but instead was trapped in the capital. Do Baocheng feel sorry?"

He seemed to have determined that the prince had a heart that was ready to run out, and he did not hide his expectations when he spoke in a tentative manner.

Isn’t you just want a guarantee that you don’t leave Beijing without authorization?

Yinreng curled his lips, and when he became rebellious, he didn't follow Khan's wishes and said: "It's okay, this group of missions will return to the Qing Dynasty in less than two years. With the first group, there will be the second, the third, the fourth, six, and seven or eighth batches. There will always be a chance in the future. I heard that the Netherlands has a very powerful shipbuilding level, and I heard that France's military system is very advanced. I don't know which one is stronger than the Eight Banners system..."

Kangxi choked and frowned.
