Chapter 215 For the Qing Dynasty, You Must Be
Ah no no no!
Yinzhen shook his head hurriedly: "Khan Ama, you are too kind! The success of this matter is mainly due to the bravery and wisdom of my brother. For the benefit of the Qing Dynasty, he disregarded his own life and death and traveled across the ocean to mediate with the King of Korea. Another reason is the tacit cooperation of my brother fourteen, and the icing on the cake from Mr. Dai."
"Of course, the most important thing is that you, Khan Ama, are good at governing the country. Our Qing Dynasty is well-known overseas and respected by all the barbarians. They would rather cede land and beg for mercy than have the slightest thought of fighting..."
He kept talking and flattering me.
In order not to take credit for the achievement that did not belong to him, Yinzhen did his best.
Although Kangxi was happy, he was also worried as usual.
I was afraid that the little guy would brag about it but talk nonsense in his heart. In an instant, a lot of negative information about him would be exposed.
However, it does not.
The little fellow was only concentrating on praising, waiting for his father Kangxi to show his great pleasure.
[Well, if you praise someone so much that he becomes arrogant, he will be more talkative. He forgot his fear of firearms and the Han people who developed them, and started to take firearms research seriously.]
[We will open a firearms academy to train more professionals in firearms research and always maintain our leading position. If the wild monkeys dare to show off again in the future, we will make them have no way back.]
Kangxi frowned: This brat, does he really think I'm so easy to fool? After a few nice words, he can't even find the north!
The prince blinked: For the Qing Dynasty, you must be.
Kangxi:......
These rebellious sons are all terrible.
But no matter how much he disliked it in his heart, Yinzhen praised it and talked about the various advantages of firearms. If it is vigorously developed, it will surely be famous both at home and abroad in the future, and there will be no rivals in the world.
Unfortunately, there are too few relevant talents, and no matter how capable Mr. Dai is, he is unable to handle the situation alone.
He still waved his hand in a heroic manner: "You are a little man, but you are quite worried. Don't worry, I have been thinking about this issue since the rapid-fire musketry. Now that we have this fruitful result, I am more confident in the court."
ha?
Yinzhen stared at Kangxi expectantly: "Khan Ama, what do you mean..."
"Let's set up a school and find some smart students. They can specialize in knowledge about weapon making and firearm research. Huang Luzhuang and his friends can take turns to instruct them on weapon making, and Dai Zi must pay more attention to firearm research."
There is no way, there are too few relevant talents.
Suddenly, Dai Zi, who was entrusted with an important task, was stunned on the spot.
So, the Eighteenth Prince just mentioned it casually, and we already have it in our academy?
Once again, Dai Zi witnessed with his own eyes the terrifying influence of his own prince's apprentice in the presence of the emperor.
Yinxuan himself was actually quite surprised.
After all, in his impression, although Kangxi made use of firearms in several wars, he actually did not attach much importance to the development of firearms, and even had some intention of guarding against and suppressing them.
I was afraid that after the Han people mastered the manufacturing and use of firearms, they would narrow the gap with the elite Eight Banners, and even easily achieve a counterattack, seize the throne, and drive them back to herding sheep.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so eager to flatter people.
After trying to please father Kangxi, he then made suggestions.
As a result, before he could organize his words, Kangxi's father took the initiative to bring up this matter?
It's quite abnormal.
But at this moment, no matter what went wrong with him, he had to kneel down and shout long live the people!
Let's get this matter sorted out as soon as possible.
Think of it and do it.
The Eighteenth Prince was unusually quick: "Establishing an academy? Oh my, Khan Ama is far-sighted and has a vision. He saw the crux of the problem at a glance."
"Select outstanding students from all over the country. This idea, this effort, and this effect are much more appropriate than my son's idea of selecting some smart people from the eunuchs or bondservants..."
He continued to praise him non-stop.
If Kangxi had not been able to hear his thoughts clearly, he would have really thought how capable he was!
Now?
He just laughed and waited for the little guy to say something else.
As a result, Yin Xuan said that outstanding students are the pillars of the country, especially in this time of great changes in the officialdom of Jiangnan, too many positions are vacant. The court is also in need of people, and it is a bit of a waste of talents for students with achievements to learn weapon making and firearm research.
It is recommended to relax the requirements and increase the establishment.
It provides a new choice for those old-timers who have been taking the imperial examinations since childhood but become more unlucky the harder they try.
Hold high the banner of compassion.
In fact...
The young man doesn't think that liberal arts students can be good at these science questions.
Moreover, in the Qing Dynasty where everything except reading was of inferior quality, asking scholars who had already achieved fame to give up literature and turn to science was simply ruining their careers, wasn't it?
It's super hateful.
On the contrary, those scholars and students who have struggled for many years but have not even passed the imperial examination will have less resistance and will work harder.
Maybe the effect will be better.
"Of course." Yinzhen smiled: "These are just some stupid ideas of my son. They may not make sense. I just said them out to give Khan Amado some ideas. Whether it is feasible or not, you have to discuss it with your brothers, civil and military ministers, etc."
clap clap.
As soon as he finished speaking, the prince and others applauded enthusiastically: "Okay, why not?"
"It is amazing that you, Eighteenth Brother, are so concerned about the country and the people at such a young age. Your thoughts are quite unique and quite reasonable."
"Who says it's not?"
"A child who is only eight years old is actually more considerate and thoughtful than when I was eighteen..."
The princes praised Yinxuan one after another, making him blush. He waved his hands and said no, the Qing Dynasty was able to conquer the island without fighting, and it was the myna who made the greatest contribution.
Then there is Brother Fourteen’s cooperation with Mr. Dai’s new artillery.
The two brothers are thousands of miles away, but Mr. Dai is right in front of us! If Khan Ama wants to reward people according to their merits, he can start with Mr. Dai.
Since he had decided to conduct in-depth research on firearms, Kangxi certainly could not treat the relevant talents poorly.
He immediately glanced at him and said, "Do I need you to remind me of this? From the sky-high mother-and-child cannon to the chain musket and granular gunpowder, Dai Zi has made great contributions to the development of firearms in the Qing Dynasty. I have always kept it in mind."
"My dear minister, you have achieved such a great success this time. How can I not reward you generously?"
The reward for promotion is no less.
Kangxi was so generous that he directly awarded him the title of first-class viscount.
Dai Zi was so moved that he kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude and expressed his wish to devote his entire life to the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, in addition to expressing his gratitude, he also did not forget to emphasize Yinxuan’s great contribution.
He was afraid that his own prince's disciple would be left behind.
Kangxi was pleased, and the other princes were satisfied. Only the prince in question, Yinzhen, had a horrified look on his face, which was full of rejection: "No, no, no, no, no. Khan, don't listen to Mr. Dai's praise of the fragrance of flowers. My son really just said a few words casually."
"It's even more theoretical than just theoretical talk. It's Mr. Dai's ability that turned this fantastic idea into reality. If you want to reward me, give it to Mr. Dai!"
