Royal Little Fortune

Chapter 636 Sense of Crisis

Seeing Yaruo looking at him in surprise, the emperor reached out and touched her head, and said with a smile: "Although Tang Ruowang and the others have said so much, I have never seen what the world outside the Qing Dynasty is like." What does it look like? If these people keep their duty and don't have any malicious intentions, I don't have to pay so much attention to it. If they are competitive and like to plunder everywhere, I will definitely not wait for these people to come from the sea to harm my Qing Dynasty. We will deal with them first, but... the most important thing now is to manage this huge country well, and only after everything is stable can we have the energy to deal with these outsiders."

After Ya Ruo heard this, she sighed and said, "The emperor has great ambitions, and I also admire it, but if this is the case, the emperor will definitely be more tired."

"As an emperor, to give the people of this world a stable and peaceful life, he will definitely pay more than others, but don't worry, as long as I have many available talents under my command, then everything will be easy to handle."

After Ya Ruo heard this, she also felt that it made sense. To be a good leader, you must know how to know people and how to arrange the talents under your command.

Today, the founding of the Qing Dynasty is not long, and these royal children are full of enthusiasm to expand the territory and manage the rivers and mountains. They don't have much dandyism, so they have to cultivate them well, and they will surely become great talents.

Moreover, there are so many talents in the world, as long as the emperor doesn't care about the distinction between Manchu and Han, or the distinction between descendants and concubines, and degrades talents regardless of style, then there will be no problem.

Thinking that in the late Qing Dynasty, the whole country would become a plaything of Western countries, and the common people would live in dire straits, Ya Ruo felt very angry.

In her previous life, she studied history, and she felt that this part was the most infuriating. If it could be changed, would everything be different?
She is too lazy to care about the butterfly effect now. Since she came to this time and space, if she can change the tragic fate of future generations, she will still work hard for it.

However, Ya Ruo felt that this really deviated from her original intention a lot. She originally wanted to spend her whole life in prosperity and peace, and travel around the great rivers and mountains.

Anyway, everything went with the flow.

The next day, the emperor convened a meeting of kings and ministers to discuss politics, and finally decreed that Tang Ruowang and others were not allowed to continue preaching. All foreigners who came to the Qing Dynasty should be registered in the register, and the people in the household department should pay attention to their movements.

After the Queen Mother learned about this, she specially called Ya Ruo to the Compassion Palace.

"Ya Ruo, is something wrong? Why did the emperor suddenly not allow Tang Ruowang and others to preach?" The Queen Mother looked at Ya Ruo and asked softly.

Ya Ruo didn't hide anything, and told the queen mother everything that happened before.

"So...the Fanbang countries are actually quite powerful. Tang Ruowang and others preached everywhere, but they have no good intentions!" The Queen Mother asked with a frown.

"I guess it's like this, preaching... To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than fooling people's hearts, and then using religion to rule the people and change the dynasty. The queen mother knows that although I grew up in the grassland, I have never liked to be restrained. I always like to be on the street. Strolling in the alleys, I met a lot of people. I heard... Western countries are religiously supreme, that is, their "lord" is above everything else, including emperors. Those countries believe in gods, and even the emperors of various countries ascended the throne. The Pope, the supreme ruler in charge of religion, must agree, just like...the vassal states around the Qing Dynasty, their emperors have to approve the appointment of a prince." After thinking about it, Ya Ruo could only do this Described to the Queen Mother.

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager's face changed drastically, and she said urgently: "Then did you tell the emperor everything you know? These people are so ambitious, our Qing Dynasty can't just look at our own great land, we must also be vigilant These foreign thieves, it’s okay if they don’t do much, if they dare to do much, they will definitely be wiped out, our cavalry in the Qing Dynasty are not vegetarians.”

"I told the emperor, but the emperor's mother... I haven't had time to tell the emperor about something. I heard that... when the foreign countries are fighting, the use of swords is less and less, and the use of firearms is less and less. On the contrary, their firearms are more and more powerful. They can shoot people to death when fired at a distance of several feet, and they can shoot in bursts. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, we have been training iron cavalry, training soldiers on horseback, fighting with swords , but I don’t care too much about firearms. There is a storeroom in the capital. Are there many firearms from the Ming Dynasty? I think it can be used.” After thinking about it, Ya Ruo said to the Queen Mother.

Regardless of what the two princesses behind the queen mother were thinking, anyway, the queen mother was quite shocked when she heard it. She looked at Yaruo and said nothing for a long time.

She used to think that although the girl Yaruo was smart and eager to learn, she was just a girl who knew some poetry, knew how to draw, and especially liked cooking, because she was still young and didn't have much insight, but Yaruo just Those words really calmed her down.

After carefully looking at Yaruo, she said in a low voice: "Although there are firearms battalions in the palace, their firearms are just good-looking. Those firearms are not as lethal as crossbow arrows, and their speed is not very fast. They can still be destroyed when it rains." It can no longer be used, and there are many restrictions, so both Aijia and the emperor think it is useless, they just use them as decorations, and let them come out to set firearms on some auspicious days, thinking it is auspicious, but you just said that the firearms of those countries in Fanbang are very powerful, It seems that we have to pay attention to it, there is a huge warehouse left by the Ming Dynasty in the suburbs of Beijing, and there are a lot of firearms and cannons in it, so the Ai family ordered people to get it out, and send people to make good use of it!"

"Yeah!" Ya Ruo let out a sigh of relief.

In her previous life, she heard people say that the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were very advanced at that time. After the Qing Dynasty, the rulers who focused on riding and shooting did not value firearms, so thermal weapons were abandoned. Maybe there will be great changes, but it's a pity that she doesn't understand these things. It can only be seen if there are people in this world who are particularly good at this aspect.

With so many people in the country, she couldn't believe that there were no talents in this field.

The queen mother is also a vigorous and decisive person, and after greeting the emperor, she began to arrange everything.

In the evening, the Empress Dowager specially invited the Emperor and Ya Ruo to have a meal at the Palace of Compassion and Peace. When the two of them rushed over, they found that the Empress Dowager was alone in the room, and there were not many meals on the table. The two princesses of the family have disappeared.

"Come and sit down, the Ai family has something to tell you!" The queen mother waved and smiled at them.
