183. The Holy Lord Mingjun, the people of the outside world

"Yes, I'll send the order and draw an order to encourage you."

"That boy is too young, so there is no need to give his father-in-law a Han flag and add a first-rate top dress."

Those who are superiors must be able to give kindness to the lower ones. Now it is not a chaotic world, and this is the top priority. His deeds are not just to commend Lu Xiao’s contribution. The implicit purpose is also to tell the confidant who is kneeling under the bed: if you do things with your heart, you will definitely not lose them.

Standing high above the dragon bed, Emperor Qianlong nodded with satisfaction, and then asked:

"By the way, what is that kid doing now? If it weren't for the long journey of Guangdong, I really wanted to see this talent who returned overseas with my own eyes and listen to him talk about foreign affairs. Some things, if you listen to your own people, are more credible than asking them from those red-haired ghosts."

"If Your Majesty wants to call him, I will go back this time..."

"Forget it, after the sea route is opened, let him go north with the ship. If you get up, let's talk about the important things first."

The person who knelt under him heard this and gave a great tribute, then stood up and looked at the emperor with respect and contempt. This is the common ruler of their bannermen, the wise lord of the heavenly lord, and the king who deserves the assistance of the world.

As a family slave, all he could do was to take good care of these people for his master.

After sorting out his robe and calming his thoughts, the man continued:

"I heard that he either took his subordinates' account to open up land and farm, or was running for those foreigners. He also told the public that he would open tens of hectares of fertile land for the court within five years, plant rice everywhere, and transport it directly to the capital by sea for the use of the imperial army."

"oh?"

Qianlong was not an emperor who knew nothing about common ground, so he naturally knew what the concept of thousands of acres of fertile land was. If it was a familiar land in the north, it would be okay, but when it comes to land reclaiming?

"Hahaha, Wanqing? He's not a small tone. I hope he can do it. It's really the style of a small country and a small people in the South Island. He wants to get it into his cuff when he sees a piece of wasteland. He doesn't want to think about whether he has such a big appetite and can do it."

The emperor who was arrogant also laughed at him. Those who were in charge of intelligence could only echo and nod.

After the emperor laughed enough, he continued to lose a question.

"Is there anything else? Don't say much about such stupid things."

The man rolled his eyes and filtered the so-called "stupid things" in his mind, which made him say a question that had been bothering him.

"Well, there is one thing that is strange. The boy divided the land into 100 acres per share, and every three people took care of 100 acres. It seemed very regular, but in fact it wasted a lot of manpower and animal power. This was not the end. The boy hired a teacher for the tenant at night, and all of them had to study and read, regardless of their size. After all, this fee alone would not be a decimal every year."

"Oh?" A dangerous light flashed in Qianlong's eyes, "What are you learning?"

The Han people's study was the only way to make progress, but the "study style of learning" in Jiangnan has really violated many taboos over the years.

"The younger ones have two lessons a day, three-character classics, and some mathematics courses. The older ones have one lesson a day, 'Devote their whole life, and be loyal to the emperor until they die'."

"Hahaha, OK!"

The flattery obviously slapped the right place. Emperor Qianlong slapped the armrest of the couch beside him, and smiled so much that he was very relieved.

After laughing, he seemed a little puzzled when he saw the supervisor in charge. His Majesty, the most arrogant emperor in the world, explained:

"At a young age, he offered a brilliant plan to open a commercial port and personally led people to combat the Red Flower Society. As soon as he got things done, he didn't want to take the imperial examination and seek close-up resources, but instead began to gather land under his own hands. This method has a saying among the Han people, called..."

After saying that, he paused and then said two words:

"Self-filled."

"As for reading and literacy, it's just to train some subordinates to participate in the science and technology exams in the future to find a job. As for the contents of the big learning, it's obvious that it's for me to show them. Everyone has their own little plan. As long as they can't do it, let them mess around."

Emperor Qianlong believed that he had read the young man's thoughts very well, and the trace of fear just now disappeared.

"Now it seems that there are really one or two talents among the remnants of the previous dynasties who are wandering in Southeast Asia..."

"Send a few people to take a look and re-paint the chart. After the Jinchuan in Jin Dynasty is completely pacified, a few Xuan Weishi will be sent to inspect it. If you really help them up, you will give them a tribute."

"There is also what the boy named Lu said, the place occupied by the red-haired ghost..."

"Don't he want to open a port? Let him do it himself. You follow him to come and go for me. If there is really a collusion, the county and town officials will ask you all. For renting a land, let the red-haired ghost send an envoy to discuss it!"

"But... Guangzhou Prefecture came to report that the person had gathered thousands of people in the name of tenants recently, some of whom were destroyed by the rural refugees during the Red Flower Society Rebellion, and a small number of them were...yes..."

Since the words have been spoken, you might as well tell them all together. But when it comes to being honest, the man is still a little hesitant.

"What is it? Say something."

"It was the remaining family members of the Red Flower Congregation after the clearance before the New Year."

"Ha, I'm still a loyal person. You don't need to worry about these. He wrote a memorial last time to clarify the identities of these people. Some old, weak, women and children who died and were just atonement for their sins. If you are not afraid of spending money, let him raise them."

Emperor Qianlong scoffed at this, it is difficult for a woman to achieve great things!

Even if he really has the intention of being a disobedient, raising such a group of women and children is enough for him to drink a pot. What's more, as far as it is concerned, this kid has no cover to do anything and explains everything clearly, which is more detailed than the information he sent back from these spies. He handed over all the handles, and he was in no hurry to cause trouble for him.

What's more, he is still required to do things now. Just talking about opening a commercial port, no one in the court can replace him.

It’s not that I’m not capable, but that I can’t have any foreign languages. I really have clear foundations and there are too few people who are trustworthy.

"The people who are transformed from others do not understand etiquette, so I can find an opportunity to beat them in the future." Qianlong thought to himself, not going to do more work on this matter.

"This... the court has a clear order for the number of tenants, and my subordinates are worried..."

"What can thousands of mud legs do? Give him a decree and let him do it in the name of land reclamation. But let's forget about money and food. When his little money is lost, he will naturally calm down and take good care of his business."

Qianlong threw the account book on the table, obviously not wanting to continue the topic.

"Then... here is my subordinate?"

"Continue to watch... By the way, I'll draw a few of you from farming, have good skills, and go and 'help' him."

"Abide by the order!"

The man bowed to his order, then turned around and disappeared like a ghost...
