Nov 18, 2022

The appearance of Rouer made things turn a little bit, Mingzhu suggested to suspend the execution and look at the ledger first, Suoertu thought that Jin should be killed first, supplemented by peace of mind. Seeing that the two were arguing endlessly, Chen Huang begged Kangxi to verify.

Kangxi appointed Jin Fu and Chen Huang to inspect the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River to form a river control plan. Before setting off, Jin Fu made no secret of his disappointment with the court, and stated that if the emperor wanted to rule the Yellow River, he had to make good use of good officials.

It is precisely because of these words that Kangxi agreed to Jin Fuyuan's succession as the governor of the river, and Chen Huang served in the curtain. The two led a few subordinates in parallel to the north, measured along the river, built a fire at night to keep warm, and used the sky as the cover and the earth as the hut. Chen Huang took into account the impact of the war and dialed the silver to manage the river, but Jin Fu thought that such a situation of people's hardship would end in a long time.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang knew that Kangxi was not one of Gou'an, and only with the support of many old officials could he enter the Central Plains as soon as possible, and appease Concubine Zhao patiently waiting for the imperial decree. On his way back to Beijing, Kangxi conceived the idea of setting up a navy who could win every battle. Although the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang suggested that he should be cautious, he had made up his mind.

He summoned Nan Huairen and other foreign ministers to enter the palace for discussion. Nan Huairen said that the current warships had been improved, and the Qing technology could not carry too many shells and guns, so it was necessary to introduce Western warships. Kangxi ordered Nan Huairen to build a gun factory outside Chongwenmen, and told him to find qualified technicians to make the first batch of patterns.

Suo Etu found that Gao Shiqi set up a fortune-telling stall on the street, and then announced that he would enter the government as a teacher. Gao Shiqi was very grateful. On the other hand, when Chen Huang and the others arrived at the glacier, Jin Fu was exhausted from the long journey. He sat next to him and watched Chen Huang step into the glacier with bare feet until the end of the measurement, and personally dipped him in wine to ward off the cold.

After the flower shells were manufactured, Kangxi came to the scene to watch the demonstration. After seeing the power, he hosted a banquet to entertain many foreign ministers. However, the foreigners were arrogant and rude, and some even proposed to let the people of Qing Dynasty believe in Catholicism. Kangxi sneered when he heard the words, and warned them that they should keep their duties in the Qing Dynasty and not try to destroy the culture of other countries.

That night, Chen Huang and Jin Fu were so frozen that they couldn't sleep, so they simply got up and sat by the fire to chat. Jin Fu wondered how Chen Huang would be willing to be a member of his staff because of his talent. Chen Huang did not deny his desire to become famous, but if he was allowed to become an official in the court, and he squeezed his subordinates and bribed his superiors all day, how would he be able to display his ambitions.

In ancient times, Da Yu opened mountains to control water, benevolent future generations, and Li Bing built Dujiangyan, and then to Pan Jixun of the Ming Dynasty. Whether they were high officials or emperors in their lifetimes, they are not as good as what they did in the eyes of the common people. Therefore, Chen Huang understands that an official should create unparalleled achievements, and he hopes to become such a person. He vows to make the Yellow River calm and never loses to the ancients.

After working day and night for several months, I finally saw the rumored Sea of Constellation. It is shaped like a gourd, with its belly in the east and the west in the west. The north and south meet the waters, and the northwest is full of stars. On the Dabai Sea, looking at the rocky mountains and watching the river, Chen Huang was impassioned in it, as if enjoying the world with the ancients.

Kangxi passed the Criminal Department and found that Xu Qianxue was writing a book. Xu Qianxue looked at the emperor who came in from outside the door, and hurriedly knelt down to greet him. When he was studying at the Hanlin Academy, Xu Qianxue sorted out the records of the Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty. Later, he was seconded to the Ministry of Housing and transcribed the annual alms. Now the file of the Ministry of Punishment has made him difficult for this.
