When the queen mother was still a child, she flew the kite that Abu bought from the capital on the grassland. She still remembered that it was a beautiful butterfly with bright colors, much prettier than an eagle.
"Then I'll try it too." The queen mother eagerly took the kite rope from Liu Yiyi's hand, started to walk slowly, and flew the kite.
Wearing brown sunglasses, the queen mother was very happy. Looking at the kites in the sky, she thought of the carefree childhood.
Kangxi looked at the Queen Mother with a smile on his face, then turned to look at Shen Bingzhu and Liu Yiyi, "Aren't you two going to the palace?"
Shen Bingzhu replied: "Enter the palace, because Qiqige will participate in the draft in a few days, and it is estimated that we will not be able to meet each other for a long time, so we will play outside more."
Kangxi looked at Liu Yiyi with a smile that was not a smile, "Risu and Aruna will be going to Beijing soon, and you won't go back?"
Liu Yiyi's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty, when will I, Abu and Eji, arrive?"
"Tomorrow!" Kangxi replied, these two were happy outside, he just took the Queen Mother and the underage elder brother for a spring outing today, and he also wanted to ask them to go back.
Shen Bingzhu hurriedly replied: "Then you should go back earlier."
Kangxi is sour!
Shen Bingzhu suddenly remembered that Kangxi was a very narrow-minded person, and he couldn't see his son getting close to other people, especially his in-laws.
Shen Bingzhu hurriedly said: "Actually, when I return to the palace, I still have important matters to discuss with my father."
"Oh?" Kangxi smiled, "What is it?"
Shen Bingzhu replied: "After I get married, I want to go to Hainan to study how to increase rice production. After all, the current land is fully developed. If you want to have more food, you can only increase the production of food. In addition, it is surrounded by The sea has a deep-water port, and my son wants to build a new type of sea-going ship."
Kangxi was taken aback, "Is it necessary to go so far to Hainan?"
Shen Bingzhu replied: "Going back to my father, it is necessary. The weather in Hainan is so hot that three crops are harvested a year. The rice experiment is carried out there, and one year is equivalent to three years. In addition, there are many deep-water ports over there, and a new shipyard will be built. , R&D and production of new sea-going ships is the most suitable place there."
"Aren't our Qing sea ships not good?" Kangxi asked, a little puzzled.
Shen Bingzhu replied: "Our sea boats can run inland and near the sea, but they can't do it if they want to go deep sea and ocean. My son found that there are more and more foreigners in the capital, and they come here to sell goods.
Transport tea, silk, and enamel from our side to the west, and there are many countries along the way. Every time my son heard their explanation, he felt very curious and fascinated.
After studying their sea-going ships, I want to lead the craftsmen to build sea-going ships that belong to our Great Qing Dynasty, to see what the outside world looks like. "
Kangxi frowned, thinking that this son wanted to go to Hainan in the near future, and he would go overseas in the future. Is this going to make waves?
"Those foreign countries, why should they care so much?" Kangxi didn't want his son to go to sea, the sea is nothing compared to the land, in case of a storm, if you can't get up to the sky, or get down to the ground, it's really a dead end. .
? Shen Bingzhu disagrees. It is precisely because the Qing Dynasty closed its doors and was self-styled, unwilling to learn advanced Western technology, that it slowly fell behind foreign countries.
In the eyes of those countries in the West, Eastern countries are a place full of gold. When they found that the country was backward and weak, they opened the closed gate with cannons, burned, killed and looted.
Rather than lagging behind and passively opening the country, it is better to take the initiative to make progress, seek exchanges and cooperation, extract the essence and discard the dross, so as to promote social progress and national development.
Shen Bingzhu retorted, "Huang Ama, my son is good at studying things. I once communicated with those foreign people in the capital, and my son can clearly find that the west is ahead of us in studying things.
Among other things, the few things made by Huang Ama and his ministers have greatly improved people's livelihood. It can be seen that Gewuzhi is very important in the future development.
In addition, Gewuzhi can also improve cannons and muskets, and even change the way of warfare, from cold weapons to hot weapons. People do not work hard, and if they do not advance, they will retreat, and the same is true for a country. My son hoped that Huang Ama would not be closed to the outside world, nor would he be busy and exclusive. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in a hundred battles. "
Kangxi never thought of a word that could make his son object so much.
Thinking about Lao Qi's words carefully, Kangxi felt that there was some truth, "There are too many water bandits in the south, causing harm to the village, so they are not allowed to go to sea."
Shen Bingzhu shook his head, "It's better to block it than to scatter it. If there are water bandits, let's train the navy to suppress them. In fact, many of them are fake merchants.", the imperial court did not allow them to engage in business, so they smuggled them, and those who came and went became water bandits.
In fact, this is not good, it is better to let go. The imperial court can still collect tariffs, and ordinary people can also sell things to merchants and earn money. Of course, how to ensure good land and commercial crops requires the management and regulation of the court.
These sons are not good at it, but the son is good at studying things, researching ships suitable for naval use and some other technologies. In short, if there is a problem, we will find a solution instead of avoiding it across the board. "
Kangxi nodded, and looked at Shen Bingzhu approvingly, "Yinyou, it's rare for you to be so thoughtful! To study sea ships and increase rice production, I can allow you to go to Hainan, but don't think about going abroad, it's too dangerous. I don't worry, and I don't agree."
Liu Yiyi replied: "Brother Qi, no matter where you go, Qiqige will go with you."
When Kangxi heard this, he glared at Liu Yiyi, "Just follow around, so far away, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to come back? My parents are here, I'm not traveling far, and I'm still here. Don't think about wandering around! Hmph!"
Kangxi shook his sleeve angrily, and then left.
Until noon, when Liu Yiyi cooked a few dishes and apologized to Kangxi, she had a smiling face.
The queen mother ate home-cooked dishes with gusto.
The queen mother said: "Long live, why does the Ai family think this farm side dish tastes very good? Isn't this the kind of ingredients used in the palace?"
Kangxi chuckled, "The ingredients in the palace are all carefully selected. Naturally, there are such dishes. It's just that the dishes made by the Imperial Dining Room have more processes and taste better."
The queen mother nodded, "That's right, even ordinary tofu is stewed with chicken broth, and other good things are added in it. It's very delicate, but it loses the original taste of the food."
"Queen Mother, if you want to eat, Qiqige will make it for you in the future." Liu Yiyi smiled lightly, "I cook very well, and today's meal is made by me."
The queen mother was surprised, and really curious about what else this girl can't do, "Qiqige, how can you cook Han Chinese food?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
