Chapter 708: Wealth is coming back
Jixianyuan is also a royal garden, but Han Xiufeng was not comfortable living here, and he was confused and didn't know if he was asleep. Anyway, he woke up at dawn. He first went to the palace gate to hand over the sign and then showed it out.
The waist-pai went straight to the office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and waited for the emperor to summon him while drinking tea.
As a result, I waited until noon, followed Datou all the way and arrived in front and Qingyan, Jiuzhou between Houhu Lake. I saw a group of eunuchs in Shengping Office in costumes lined up to walk into Fengsan Wushu Hall.
.
Datou should have been on duty here, and said proudly as he walked: "Fourth brother, there is not only the emperor's throne, the treasure bed, but also a stage. The emperor is here to listen to the opera every few days."
"Yeah?"
"What are you doing? I heard that this is also the place where the emperor holds a banquet for the royal family. The tributes presented to the emperor are also here." Datou said more and more excitedly, and pointed to the east and said, "Then there,"
It is where the Empress and the Imperial Concubine live. There are several yards, each with a separate gate. What is the name of Heaven and Earth Family!"
"It should be called 'The world is a spring', right?" Han Xiufeng said subconsciously.
"Everything is the same. The emperor is the true dragon emperor. The heaven and earth are all, and it is the place where the emperor and his family live."
As he was talking, the Qingyan Palace of Jiuzhou has arrived.
Datou didn't care about showing his knowledge anymore, so he hurriedly ran over to ask if the guard on duty was inside. Seeing the imperial guard on duty looking at the West Warehouse, he hurried to the West Warehouse to report.
Han Xiufeng waited under the crabapple tree in front of the hall for a while, and Datou came out happily, looking sideways and said, "Fourth Brother, the emperor let you in."
"I understand." Han Xiufeng tidied up his clothes, lifted the corner of his clothes and walked to the door of the hall. He crossed the threshold and saw the emperor lying halfway on the treasure bed and looking at the note. He quickly dusted his horse's sleeves and greeted the Holy An.
Xianfeng put down the note, sat up and said, "You are here, get up and talk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Have you met Sushun?"
"Report to the emperor, I met Lord Sushun at Jixian Courtyard last night."
"Have he told you anything?" Xianfeng asked in a low voice.
Han Xiufeng hurriedly said, "Report to the emperor, Lord Sushun wants to ask the emperor to order your minister to serve in Tianjin. He is also worried that his ministers will be young and energetic. If he accidentally encounters the monk, he will run into the monk. Thinking that the rude affairs are small and the military affairs are large,
So when I was going to Tianjin to order the emperor to order me to collect materials for dredging the Nanyuan River Haizi, I would take a look at how the fort was repaired, how the soldiers were trained, and whether the various blockage prevention arrangements were properly arranged.
Report to the Emperor.”
Xianfeng actually thought of letting Han Xiufeng go to Tianjin to serve, but he was worried that Senggelinqin was stubborn and could not listen to Han Xiufeng's words. Moreover, Han Xiufeng didn't know how to do his original errand, so he asked him to go to Tianjin to do so.
It makes people feel that the emperor's orders have changed every day.
After hearing what Han Xiufeng said, Xianfeng felt that Sushun was thinking very thoroughly and subconsciously asked: "I want to know what you think?"
"Report to the emperor, I think this arrangement is the most appropriate. If the emperor is right, I will go there once a month, half a month in Tianjin and half a month in Nanyuan. Both sides can take care of it, and the errands on both sides will not be delayed.
.”
"Is Nanyuan's errands going smoothly?"
"It's quite smooth. I just received the news from Shanghai that the 360 new foreign guns purchased by Shanghai aged 1999 were on the way to Beijing and will arrive in the middle of next month.
The foreign guns were transported to the soldiers and sent to the hands of the soldiers. After careful training for two or three months, they could form an army."
"Same as the Yi soldiers used?"
"It's not much the same. I'm incompetent and can only buy the kind of fire. The bird guns that the Yi Bing now use are not only fire fire, but also have rifled in the barrel. The lead is also specially made, and it's worth fighting.
Our guns should be more accurate and farther away. However, I think that as long as I practice carefully, if I really go to the battle formation, I can still compete with the Yi soldiers."
Looking at the emperor's thoughtful look, Han Xiufeng continued: "I think the matter of the Heying camp, especially the matter of foreign guns, is not suitable for making a statement now. If you don't even know about yourself, the Western Barbarians will not know about it.
At that time, you can "use the way of others, and treat the person's body" and as a surprise soldier, you will catch them off guard!"
Thinking of the sudden war this time, the Western Yi started, which caught Guiliang, Huashana, Tan Tingxiang and others off guard, which led to the fall of the forts on both sides of Haikou, Tianjin, and the troops behind the forts were defeated. Xianfeng felt that Han Si had a good idea, but he still thought about it.
He asked, "Your dear said that you didn't even tell Senggelinqin?"
"I dared to ask the emperor not to let the monk know. Only by not letting him know can he have the determination to burn his boats."
"Well, then don't let him know."
"Your Majesty, when you mention the monk, I have something to report."
"What's the matter?" Xianfeng asked curiously.
"Before the abolition of Houyi Hall, Fugui, a Fujian Customs Commissioner stationed in Fuzhou, summoned Fujian maritime merchants to persuade them to donate and purchase foreign artillery. The maritime merchants worked hard to serve the country, traveling across the ocean to the South China Ocean, and after great hardships, they finally came to a call.
In Malacca, I bought twelve large and small foreign cannons, more than 80 barrels of gunpowder and more than 2,000 large and small iron bullets cast in wax molds. Fugui was worried that there would be any mistakes on the way to the capital, and he did not dare to do so.
He easily reported to Shangguan, and could only bring his family with him to gather the young and strong men back to Beijing on the grounds of telling him illness."
Xianfeng really couldn't remember who Fugui was, but he knew it was a man of the people after hearing the name. He couldn't help but laugh: "This slave is cautious in doing things, for fear that those guns would not even do anything wrong along the way. This is really something to do.
Su Shun said, "There are also people who can do things, but they are not all bastards."
"This is natural," Han Xiufeng thought about it and bowed, "Your Majesty, I think the reason why Lord Sushun said that is actually because he regrets that he is not strong enough."
"I'm not the same," Xianfeng nodded slightly, then pondered: "Senggelinqin is short of cannons, so let Fugui send those foreign cannons to Senggelinqin."
"I obey the order."
"Then let Fugui hand over the cannon to Senggelinqin and return to Beijing. After handling the cannons for so many years, it's time for him to go home and take a look. As for those maritime merchants, he will give him a report and wait.
I am kind."
"The emperor is wise!"
"Everyone says I am wise, but when it comes to knowing people and responsibilities, sometimes I am not as good as you, my dear." Xianfeng sighed and murmured: "If Big Tou hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that I would have done it."
The guerrillas who died in Taiwan, Sha Chunyuan and others were all recommended by their beloved ministers to Tan Tingxiang. Chen Hu, the deputy general of the Zunyi Association of Guizhou, was the same as Chen Hu, the wealth he just mentioned, was also considered one."
When the emperor mentioned Chen Hu, Han Xiufeng's heart skipped a beat and couldn't help asking: "Emperor, Chen Hu... Why has Chen Hu become the deputy general? Is he..."
Thinking of Datou once said that Han Si had the habit of remembering "account books", Xianfeng realized what he was worried about, so he picked up the teacup and said, "Don't worry, Chen Hu is fine, he can be promoted to deputy general and reported by Guizhou Governor Jiang Shiyuanbao.
Datou said, I don’t know that he was also from Heying.”
"I misunderstood my ministers and kings, so I ask the emperor to forgive me."
"I love my soldiers like my sons, and only soldiers like me will use their lives. How can I punish you?"
Confirm that Chen Hu was fine and was promoted, Han Xiufeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought about it and said quickly: "Emperor, I really can't count as saying that I know people and responsibilities. I just do things based on my conscience and treat people with sincerity. Besides, you are The emperor, every day, think about military affairs and summoned all important civil and military officials. How could he summon those generals? I don’t know, it’s normal for them to be familiar with them."
"Yes, I haven't even seen him before, so I wouldn't know that the person I use is honest, and there is no way to talk about knowing others and being good at placing them."
"Aren't this the one with Prince Hui, Prince Yi, Prince Zheng, Peng Zhongtang, Bai Zhongtang and Lord Sushun? You and your ministers, you should have the worries of the emperor."
"If you don't let me down, I won't let you down. Let me be here today. My dear, please kneel down."
"I'm leaving."
"Wait," Xianfeng thought for a while and said, "Senggelinqin reported yesterday that the food in Tongzhou and other places was expensive, and it was difficult to send guards to buy food. I have ordered him to visit the situation and increase food. Show sympathy and also informed the Shuntian Prefecture to manage the grain station. The personnel who followed the whole process. However, the shipping was blocked and tens of thousands of stones of grain could not be transported. They might not be able to raise grain if they tried their best. Isn’t my dear to go to Tianjin? , visit Tianjin and other places along the way if there is any surplus grain. If there is any place, they will be organized together with Changlu Salt Transportation Commissioner Chonghou, and then directly contact Sushun for reimbursement."
