Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 688 Consciousness
In the autumn of 1663 AD, the Qing emperor moved out of the Forbidden City. Under the escort of the Ming army, he went to Tianjin with a group of royal children, and boarded a ship to Nanjing from there.

Yanjing is like this, it is impossible to move the capital without doing a good job.Moreover, moving the capital is not a trivial matter, so some things need to be prepared.

However, it is impossible for Zuo Fu and others to let the people from the Qing court stay in Yanjing, so they still have to take Nanjing to live.

Since the peace talks, Zuo Fu has summoned a large number of construction workers, worked overtime overnight, allocated a piece of land in the new urban area of ​​Nanjing, and built many houses.

These houses are for people living in the Qing court.As for the money, of course it has to be given, Xuanye can exempt the rent, but others can't.After all, Daming's money didn't come from the wind.The preferential treatment of Xuanye is also for the people of the world to see, which is also more conducive to unity.

The moment he came out of the Forbidden City, Xuan Ye was depressed.However, he also seemed a little curious when he saw the outside world for the first time.It's just different from what he imagined, the outside world doesn't look good at all, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe it, this is the capital under his rule.

All the way to Tianjin, Xuan Ye was shocked when he saw the big iron boats lined up!
It's really hard!The iron boat can really float on the water!

Daming is really rich!

Not to mention the rationale for this, but isn't the money so much that it is burned to use iron to build a ship?
After boarding the boat, the depressed mood was slowly attracted by the scene inside the boat.After all, he was still just a child, and he was no longer an emperor, but he was much more relaxed.

With his status, he naturally lived in first class.In order to let the emperor who had voluntarily abdicated feel Daming's kindness, a small rectification was carried out in the cabin.The rooms Xiaozhuang and he lived in were relatively large, and they added some extravagant glass products.

In addition, Xuan Ye lived in a room for servants, and put some model toys.

Xuan Ye was quickly attracted by these things.Is it a boy after all?How can any boy escape the attraction of these things?
As expected of being an emperor through the ages, Xuan Ye's brain is very good, and he played with the ship model in his hand in a decent way according to the instruction manual. This comprehension ability is much better than Zhu Heyong.

Xiaozhuang was also looking at this strange boat.This time, Daming brought ten large iron boats, all of which had chimneys emitting black smoke, which looked scary.But after sitting on it, I found it was very stable, and the people from Daming thoughtfully provided me with medicine for seasickness.

Xiaozhuang ran on the grassland for the first half of his life, and in the palace for the second half of his life. How could he not get seasick by boat?So she didn't refuse these people's kindness and took seasickness medicine.She didn't feel that the people of Ming Dynasty would play tricks on this, there was no need for it.

After taking the seasickness medicine, people want to sleep, so after sleeping, the old lady regained her spirits and took Lagu Su Ma around the boat, looking around.

To be honest, this bed on the ship is much more comfortable than the bed in her palace.I heard from the waiter on the boat that the mattress is made of something called latex, and when people lie on it, it fits very well no matter what angle they lie on, including the pillows they sleep on.

Although it is strange why the people who serve are called waiters, Xiao Zhuang and Lagu Su Ma are still shocked by the quality of these waiters.

A waiter actually knows so much knowledge, and his etiquette style is not at all that of a palace maid who has been strictly taught in the court.And after careful inquiry, I found that these waiters can not only write and count, but also master multiple languages, and they all have diplomas from technical secondary schools.

Zuo Fu ran many schools in Daming.Elementary school, middle school, technical technical school, junior college, university... This Xiaozhuang also knows a little bit.Moreover, she also knows that anyone who can be admitted to a technical secondary school will be on the big red list, that is to say, the minimum for the servants in front of them is a technical secondary school diploma, and they are talents in Daming.

But that's where the problem lies.

What does a waiter read so many books?And it's too wasteful for such a talent to serve people on this ship, right?

Asking about the income of these people again, Xiao Zhuang and the others were shocked again!

Daming had already used banknotes, and after conversion, these people only received two taels of silver for their basic salary. Not only did they eat and drink for free on the last boat trip, but they also gave them a certain subsidy depending on the length of the journey.

In addition, four sets of work clothes, four pairs of shoes and eight pairs of socks, as well as salt, sugar, rice, oil, etc. are distributed a year.After all this, wouldn't these people make hundreds of taels of silver a year? !

This is too scary!
Moreover, many of these waiters are women. This woman can create so much wealth for the family. Isn't she walking sideways in her husband's house? !

No wonder Daming is rich, this is really not ordinary rich!It's no wonder that being a waiter pays so much, it's no wonder that only people with a technical secondary school diploma and at least mastered one popular foreign language can come to work here.

That is, why does their Mandarin sound so similar to the official dialect of the capital?

Xiaozhuang couldn't understand it.But there are many strange things about Zuo Fu, and this one is not bad.

This time, except for a few personal eunuchs and palace maids who allowed them to take them with them, other people in the palace will be dismissed in the future.

How can a non-emperor enjoy the service of his father-in-law?Moreover, there are also eunuchs in the Ming Palace. Although Zuo Fu has issued a ban on the adoption of new eunuchs in the palace this year, there are still quite a few eunuchs in the palace.

Serving an emperor is enough.Anyway, it will be reduced sooner or later, so why let another maidservant and eunuch from the Forbidden City come over to join in the fun?
However, the whereabouts of these people must be carefully arranged.In a sense, these people are actually victims of the times.Therefore, except for a few palace maids and eunuchs who have been taking care of Xuanye and Xiaozhuang's daily life, the rest will stay where they are, managed by Daming military officers, and given food.

When things are settled, these people will take a generous pension and go back to their hometowns.After returning home, he is a free person. He can do whatever he wants, and he can continue to be a slave if he wants, but the employer must pay for his pension and social security.

It is best to be merciful when dealing with these issues left over from history, so Zuo Fu made a rule not to disclose information about these people, especially the eunuchs.If these eunuchs do not want to return to their hometowns, they can also freely choose places to live, so as not to be discriminated against when they go back to live.

Those pensions issued are enough for the old to die, but perhaps not enough for the young.But what else can young people do!This is merged, and the infrastructure construction will be carried out again. People are needed everywhere. Are you afraid that there will be no work?
Therefore, the maids and eunuchs who can stay in front of the old master are lucky, but it is not necessarily or another kind of luck to be able to come out of the place of imprisonment.Without him, the time when they leave the palace is the best time at the moment, opportunities are everywhere, as long as they have the heart, they can live, and they can live with a lot of taste.

A few days later, Xuanye arrived in Nanjing.

Coming off the boat, his eyes just weren't enough.He has never been to Nanjing, and compared to his grandmother, he seems very restless.

Is this the capital of Ming Dynasty? !

So clean!
So beautiful!
There wasn't a single crack to be seen on the straight road, and he knew it was paved with something called cement.He heard from Tang Ruowang that the Greeks and Romans had used this thing, but it was very expensive. If it was used for national infrastructure, it would be an astronomical figure!

But Zuo Fu obviously has a way to make cement himself, and can do mass production, and can keep the cost down to a very low level, so he can build cement roads everywhere in Daming, and even use cement as the adhesive for building houses.

Xuan Ye had also heard his father talk about the prosperity of Ming Dynasty.But there is a difference between hearing about it and seeing it with your own eyes.Not to mention, many years have passed, and Nanjing's infrastructure has improved compared to the past. There are new buildings and buildings everywhere, and the city's prosperity is even better than it was then.

A large number of migrant workers have poured into the city. In order to accommodate these people, various buildings have sprung up. Although most of them are only five or six stories high, in the eyes of people of this era, all these "tall buildings" are also Very shocked.

The deeper you go into the city, the more prosperous it becomes. When you reach the gate of the inner city, Xuanye finally meets the legendary woman.

She looked very young, even though she was 36, she looked like someone in her 20s.She doesn't look as majestic and inviolable as I imagined, on the contrary, she has a smile on her face, and she talks to herself in a gentle manner. It is hard to imagine that this woman is now the real ruler of Ming Dynasty, and she used to be with her ancestors Fighting, and also cut off their arms and heads.

People who smile like a spring breeze can hardly make people feel disgusted.Even though Xuan Ye knew that Aixinjue Luo would lose several lives in her hands, it was difficult for Xuan Ye to feel disgusted with the person in front of him.

After all, there is no justice or injustice in war, it is just that each is his master and has his own pursuit.

After some conversation, they entered the Forbidden City in Nanjing.The Forbidden City in Yanjing was modeled after this place, but when walking here, there is a feeling of familiarity and strangeness.

The Forbidden City here is inlaid with glass.This kind of thing that was ridiculously expensive in Daqing can be seen everywhere in Daming.Anyway, he also saw this kind of glass in the buildings where the common people lived.

And the Forbidden City is also better maintained than the one he lives in, and everywhere shows the vitality of the dynasty's rebirth.Unlike the Forbidden City of my own, it was full of dusk and gloom, and it felt very depressing to stay in it.

Walking and looking all the way, Xuan Ye struggled a bit after seeing Da Mingzi, but finally knelt down and saluted.

Now that you have decided to negotiate a peace and shoulder all the charges yourself, you must have the consciousness to shoulder the responsibility.It's pointless to struggle with something I've decided a long time ago.

As expected of Lord Kangxi!

This kind of demeanor also made Ming Chen who was present take a high look, including Zuo Fu.

There is one thing to say.Although the Qing Dynasty had many criticisms in later generations, the royal education was really good.In the Qing Dynasty, although the level of the emperors was different, they were all diligent. Even if there was a problem with the direction of diligence, their work attitude was much stronger than that of the old Zhu family.

Think about this Xuan Ye, since he was three years old, he got up at three o'clock in the morning. After washing up, it was still dark when he went to class early!So if someone can leave a good name in history, it is also to risk their lives to do this job well.

And his son, the Emperor Yongzheng, let alone.He is simply a workaholic, even though he was addicted to YAO in the end, didn't he want to live for a few more years so that he can continue to serve the Qing Dynasty?

As for Emperor Qianlong... Although it is a bit extravagant, he is not lazy!Moreover, his literary talent is first-rate, and he wrote more than 1 poems by himself.Regardless of the quality, can an average person write more than 1 poems?And there are some high-quality ones, especially the ones mourning his new wife, which are really tear-jerking!
Zhu Heyong looked at Xuan Ye, who was the same age as him, and felt a little complicated.

It seems that, except for the hairstyle, he is no different from himself.Of course, he had many pockmarks on his face because he had suffered from smallpox.However, thinking that he was also the emperor before, but now he is prostrate at his feet, although he is a little happy in his heart, but thinking that the person he is afraid of is not his queen, it is a bit dull.

He subconsciously glanced at Zuo Fu, although that person is calm, but he can stir up the world.The emperor of the Qing Dynasty is now prostrate at his feet, but why isn't he prostrate at Zuofu's feet?

In life, she naturally didn't treat herself badly, and she didn't even interfere with his affairs, and still sent her master to teach her knowledge.It's just that those masters were driven away by her before, and what she taught all day long was no longer the Four Books and Five Classics, but diplomatic etiquette, court etiquette and various scientific knowledge.

There are also cultural classes, but the proportion is greatly reduced.In addition, a guqin was added to the musical instrument class.How could the emperor of the Ming Empire only know how to play the piano?Traditional things still need to be learned.

So on the surface, it seems that there is no difference from the past life.On the contrary, because of the reduction in the number of courses in the Four Books and Five Classics, he felt more relaxed.

After all, if you know something like mathematics, you will know it, and you don't need to memorize it repeatedly like cultural courses.And he seems to be quite talented in this area, he is good at mathematics, and other courses such as nature are also very interesting, not as boring as cultural courses.

Sometimes when I think about it, Zuofu still treats me the same, but sometimes I feel different.The appearance of his mother before her death always appeared in front of his eyes, which made him at a loss.He didn't know whether his mother's conjecture was right or not, but he heard the old man in the palace say that, in fact, for many years, it was his mother who found Mr. Zuo unlucky. up.

In addition, his grandfather disturbed the court because he wanted to do favoritism. After his mother arrived, Mr. Zuo didn't show face, and still punished his grandfather. The hatred was born from this.

And Mr. Zuo was also punished by his father back then. He knelt in front of the palace gate in the cold winter months, and someone sent by his mother poured a basin of water to wash his feet. He almost lost his life...

In fact, he couldn't quite believe that his mother and his grandfather's family were such people.But after listening to the words of these old palace people, after slowly calming down, he thought about it, and became very entangled.Because what my mother said before she died is probably just her own imagination. If Mr. Zuo has such means, why wait until then to take revenge?Not to mention...

Why did the emperor take him away from his mother since he was a child?And... I also heard that, in fact, my father left a secret decree that my mother should be buried... But Mr. Zuo didn't do that...

So what is the truth? !
