Chapter 261 Crown Princess II 20
At the same time, some historians and geographers may study and record earthquakes, but these tasks are not the responsibilities of any particular department.
The Ministry of Works of the Qing Dynasty was the agency in charge of construction engineering matters.
But its main responsibilities focus more on the construction and maintenance of buildings and water conservancy projects rather than direct earthquake observation.
In ancient times, the Imperial Observatory was mainly responsible for observing astronomical phenomena and predicting celestial phenomena, but it had no direct connection with earthquake observation.
However, judging from the duties of the Imperial Observatory, they may have conducted certain research and observations on astronomical and natural phenomena, but these observations were not directly aimed at earthquakes.
Therefore, Yinreng intended to set up a department to specifically study these.
Things are just like the development of history.
April 1695th, the second year of Hongtai ().
The earth dragon turned over as expected.
The aftershocks, which occurred dozens of miles away, also caused chaos among the people.
Everyone felt a chill down their spine as they watched the thrilling scene after the disaster.
The whole land looked like it had experienced a catastrophe. There were ruins everywhere, buildings collapsed, and streets covered with rubble and debris. It was a mess.
The walls cracked and the road was broken into several pieces, the scene was horrifying.
The power of the earth dragon's turning over seemed to tear the earth apart, the sky seemed to change color, and the loud sound of mountains collapsing and the earth splitting echoed in the ears, making people shudder.
The air was filled with the smell of dust and rubble. The dust covered the sky and visibility was extremely low, giving people a feeling of depression and suffocation.
However, due to the emergency evacuation, only a few people were injured.
It’s already much better than previous years!
As aftershocks continued, Yinzhi led the army to arrange the people to line up in an orderly manner to receive porridge, clothes, etc.
What followed was that the people rushed to kneel down and worship the capital.
Thank you for the blessings of our ancestors and thank you for the protection of the Queen.
Yinreng was a little embarrassed, after all, the people thought that it was the ancestors who gave instructions to Xueli.
But the emperor has been on the throne for many years and has made outstanding contributions, yet natural disasters have continued to occur. Wasn’t this foreseen?
Xue Li almost burst out laughing when she heard what he said.
"If you have time to dwell on it here, you should guide public opinion and make the people united!"
Yinreng hugged Xueli and kissed her and rolled over, and the emperor and empress were full of love and affection.
For a time, Xue Li was loved and respected by the people.
Some people even erected a longevity monument for her!
There was also a time when Xue Li entered into a state of meditation in the Buddhist temple. A light blue light flashed around her soul, and Xue Li vaguely understood something.
Rather than calling it telekinesis, it is more like the power of faith.
The last time she was not mistaken was when she was in Yinlang's world. She thought she was mistaken and didn't take it seriously.
But fortunately, she is a spirit. If it was her real body, she would be bound!
After all, sometimes people have something to ask for when they make offerings to the gods.
But she is not a god, and she doesn't want to be forced to do anything. It all depends on her own wishes!
Well, follow your heart, that's her way.
Xue Li didn't pay any more attention to it and continued to enter into meditation, achieving perfection in the first level.
The third year of Hongtai (1696).
The East Six Palaces were finally built, no, it should be that the East Six Palaces no longer exist.
A huge and beautiful garden with the solemnity of the north and the elegance of the south!
Yinreng nominated [Dragon and Phoenix Palace].
If those words hadn't been written so casually and freely, Xue Li would have been a little embarrassed.
A garden with a high-rise wooden building, a garden, a landscape garden, a hot spring and a lawn.
The three children each have their own small yard, which at first glance looks more like a residence for their family of five.
This was indeed the case, and Yinreng moved in with Xueli.
The courtier wanted to say something.
But I feel like I'm still busy with the work at hand and haven't finished it yet.
They didn't dare to offend the emperor, so they just pretended not to see it.
At the beginning of the new year, the first thing to do after moving into the new house is to hold a ceremony to enthrone the prince.
Princess Rui was directly canonized as Princess Gulun Rui.
The twins are a little older now. They have learned history and read books, and their personalities have become much more stable.
Zhiyu smiled as if she didn't care about anything, but in fact she held a grudge.
Zhiheng still felt a bit childish when he returned to Longfengque, especially when he was holding his second child.
When he walked outside on weekdays, he already had the dignity of a prince.
In May of the third year of Hongtai (1696), Prince Zhi, the five beiles and Prince Yu led elite troops to quell the rebellion of the Dzungar tribe.
And incorporated Khalkha Mongolia into the territory of the Qing Dynasty.
In August of the same year, Yinreng sent Baozhu, the head of the Lifanyuan, the great lama Jinba Zamusu, Demuqi Sonombu and others to Tibet to convey the imperial edict to the Dalai Lama, the Dalai Khan, the Panchen Lama and other religious leaders, exposing and condemning the crimes of the Diba for usurping the name of the Dalai Lama, condoning Galdan and opposing the Qing government.
And using this as an excuse, they sent troops with heavy weapons to take over Tibet.
As welfare benefits were issued one after another, many women left home to learn a skill.
Including traditional Chinese medicine!
The number of newborns is also higher than in previous years.
Lao Jiu took the caravan and students out to sea for trade, study and exchange.
The fourth brother was placed in Jiangnan to keep an eye on corrupt officials.
After the handover, the fifth brother went to train his troops, while the seventh brother stayed in Tibet to arrange people to build roads.
Xue Li arranged for Lao Ba to take some court officials and students who were usually smooth-talking, treacherous, and divisive to learn languages of various countries, and then go to various countries to promote their Qing culture.
Lao Ba has always been ambitious and doesn't want to do this hidden job.
Then Xue Li pulled him and his subordinates and started spitting all over the place.
For example:
Some vassal states respected the Celestial Empire, but had another master behind the scenes.
What can he do? Of course he should teach his foolish son a lesson.
There are also some vassal states that have bullied border residents in the past and did not listen to the orders of the patriarch.
What can you do? Of course, you can live a good life with him, but the prerequisite is that you have to return to the arms of the head of the family.
There are also some countries, such as the Netherlands, which have relatively advanced shipbuilding technology. Of course, we should learn from each other and make progress together. They have always been seeking cooperation, development and common prosperity.
There are still some countries that are seeking division, and we can only use their thousands of years of historical heritage to teach them how to progress.
How great a country do they look?!
The group of old guys listened to the queen's big talk with disbelief in their eyes.
You are such a queen?!
However, the group of students were full of youthful vigor and enthusiasm, and they were eager to seek development and cooperation for everyone.
When Lao Ba heard this, his eyes lit up. He was familiar with this job, and then he set off happily.
Several court officials were somewhat restrained in front of Xue Li.
As soon as they walked out of the temple gate, a few old guys who were sharper than monkeys gathered together and laughed in a very obscene way for a moment!
It seems like a bright future has been envisioned.
Lao Ba led everyone to learn not only foreign languages, but also information, customs, culture and inventions of various countries.
Lao Ba was working hard.
Yinreng almost laughed out of anger when he saw those guys picked out by the Eighth Brother for making saber-rattling attacks.
However, each does have its own advantages!
It’s okay to engage in intrigue, but it’s not okay to bring harm to your family and country.
In this case, Yinreng simply went with them and allocated people and money to them.
