Qing Dynasty: After reading my heart, Kangxi and the Nine Dragons are united

How could Kangxi not know the good intentions of his two eldest sons?

I would really risk being kicked off the sedan chair to vent his anger at my Khan Father, but I must protect Xiao Fuxing and its secret!

Moreover, the two of them did not have any discussion and acted completely on their own initiative.

They all put their personal honor and disgrace aside and put the Qing Dynasty and themselves, the Khan, first.

This knowledge alone was enough to turn Kangxi's cloudy days into sunny ones.

He changed his anger into a gentle scolding: "You are almost eighty years old in total, and yet you are still snatching snacks from a child. I wonder what will happen to the two of you."

Hey hey hey.

The eldest prince and the crown prince both smiled apologetically: "Hasn't it been a long time since I last saw my eighteenth brother? I really missed him and couldn't help but tease him a little."

"Isn't it? My Eighteenth Brother has been too busy recently, so we are both in the capital. I haven't had sex with him for a long time."

Yinxuan: ???

Is this the reason why you two are fighting over my snacks?

That’s too far-fetched!

Who would believe it?

But the next moment, his father Kangxi nodded: "Indeed, Little Eighteen has been so busy that he has even been back to the palace less often."

"The last time I went to Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Mi said that he was still young and should not work too hard, so I should assign him fewer tasks. God bless you, this was not my arrangement. This kid did it on his own initiative!"

That look of "No, you must explain it to your mother and don't let me be misunderstood" made Yinxuan helpless.

Even after the sedan chair passed through the Daqing Gate, he was still confused: What medicine did the Khan, the second prince, and the eldest brother take wrong? Why were they all acting so strangely?

Kangxi, who was criticized to death, did not try to answer his question. Instead, he took a group of princes to Ningshou Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.

Then let the eldest prince and the seventh prince go to their respective mothers' palaces to pay their respects.

After two days of rest, a celebration banquet was held for them in the Qianqing Palace.

As for Princess Kejing who went back to Khalkha to take care of government affairs?

Kangxi did not forget her contributions, nor did he avoid rewarding her according to her merits.

But although she also brought Khalkha Mongolian warriors to join the expedition this time, her contribution was far less than that of the eldest prince, and was not enough to be promoted to a prince.

She has a number in her mind too!

So she wrote a letter early, hoping to accumulate merits like the Fourteenth Prince, until it would be enough for her to be a prince as a woman.

He knew that although the warriors of the three Khalkha tribes under his command were extremely brave, they had never fought in a naval battle and were not good at it.

She did not bring up the unlikely reason of going to the battlefield to pacify the Japanese. Instead, she wanted to rectify the economy, connect with Tsarist Russia in the north, and reopen the Silk Road in the west. While revitalizing the economy and turning Mongolia from a burden to a money bag for the Qing Dynasty, she could also monitor all parts of the new province at any time...

He directly brought up his own ambitions and the difficult question of whether the court would allow Mongolia to develop.

Before the 47th year of Kangxi's reign, this was not a problem that could be solved by two plaques.

just now……

He is no longer Kangxi of Wu!

Kangxi, who felt that he had made great progress, quietly asked Yinzhen: "You have been busy for a long time. How far have you come in researching the train? Have you made any progress? When will it be completed? When can we build the railway from the capital to the Mongolian tribes?"

No kidding, with that powerful weapon, it would only take a day and a night to travel from the capital to the Central Plains.

Kangxi was confident that the Mongolian tribes would always be the Qing Dynasty's little sheep.

At that time, there will be no need to strictly implement the population reduction plan, nor will there be any need to deliberately suppress the development of various Mongolian tribes.

Yin Xuan glared: "Khan Ama, this is not just one problem, it is a lot of problems! With the steam engine in hand and the precedent of the invincible general, the train will not be a big problem. But the carriages, wheels, and rails all require a lot of steel."

"It is a huge project to build a railway from the capital to all parts of the grassland, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources..."

In the past, this matter would have been impossible, okay?

But who could blame Yinzhen for working so hard to fight the Japanese? He even invented a blast furnace for steelmaking.

In addition, the steam engine had already been a mature technology.

With the help of all the top talents in the Qing Dynasty, wouldn't the train be researched to a great extent?

[Compared to building trains, building railways is a big job! It requires a lot of materials and even more people. If you want to build from the capital to the Mongolian tribes, wouldn’t it take until the whole country changes its era name?]

Kangxi:! ! !

Such a great project cannot be considered as my political achievement?

That won’t work!

In order to contribute to Kangxi's prosperous era, Kangxi immediately placed his hopes on the young and strong Junggar people and the future Japanese prisoners of war.

Well.

It is also necessary to add labor to the list of resources that can be used to offset the reparations from the Tsarist Russia...

While calculating, he patted Yinzhen's shoulder to comfort him: "We have maritime trade, and your fourth sister will reopen the Silk Road. By then, with two ways to make money and scarce items in the Qing Dynasty, material resources will definitely not be a problem."

"We have young and strong people from the old Junggar army, prisoners of war from Japan, and we can also try to find out more about Russia, which is not a problem."

Really, everything is ready, except for your little east wind.

In an instant, the burden on Yinzhen's shoulders became extremely heavy. If it were normal times, he might have just given up and quit.

but……

The little guy rolled his eyes and patted his chest to assure: "It's almost done, Khan Ama, just wait and see!"

The more Kangxi asked him to do things within his ability and not to force himself, the more he wanted to show the spirit of the King of Rolls.

[Even if it is just to return the favor, and let the Japanese and Russians come to the Qing Dynasty to mine, smelt iron, and build railways as soon as possible, I have to work hard. I want those people to live a good life as atoning for their ancestors, well, the descendants!]

By the end of the chattering, the little guy was gritting his teeth.

Kangxi patted his head distressedly and said, "Okay, Eighteen, don't be too anxious. Put your health first in everything. Don't put the cart before the horse."

In the Yanxi Palace, Concubine Hui also cried as she looked at her much older son: "He has become darker and thinner, and his temples are a little gray. Woo woo woo, my son must have suffered a lot on this trip."

"Now that I'm back, I can have a good rest for two or three years, right?"

After all, the Dzungars had been pacified, and the Russian Empire had been put to shame. The Qing Dynasty only used troops against Japan, but that was a naval battle, so there should be no need for landlubbers, right?

The eldest prince was not convinced. In addition to hunting outside the Great Wall, Khan's father also went hunting in Nanyuan from time to time.

There are many lakes there, and shooting swans in a boat is a popular activity.

He is very good at swimming!

"Okay, okay, mother was wrong. My son is very capable. But how small is Japan? The eighth, ninth, tenth and fourteenth are all there. There's no need for you to join in the fun. You should pay attention to next year's talent show."

"The correct thing to do is to try to choose a good wife for Hongyu and a good husband for the fourth princess."
