What did the greedy little Shenyang recommend to Gan Long at the risk of his life?

Greedy little Shenyang risked his life to recommend it to Ganlong. Scholar: If it is adopted, it will change the national luck for a hundred years? When it comes to small Shenyang, the first thing that comes to mind is the title of "the biggest corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty". In fact, the greed of small Shenyang is obvious to all. According to the property list, there are hundreds of millions of properties in small Shenyang, equivalent to tens of billions of RMB. However, Xiao Shenyang was very clean when he first became an official. After consolidating his position by settling the Li Shiyao case, his power gradually increased and his selfish desires expanded. He used his position to form a political party for personal gain and accumulated a lot of money.

Greedy little Shenyang risked his life to recommend trade benefits to Ganlong, but we should not only look at one person's side, but also make comprehensive judgments. Xiao Shenyang is greedy, but he can be favored by Qianlong in all aspects. He must have something extraordinary. Little Shenyang has many titles. He is not only the chief bachelor, bachelor of imperial academy, but also the president of Sikuquanshu. It is obvious to all that he kept the fiscal treasury of the Qing Dynasty in good order.

In A.D. 1792, Britain sent a special envoy to visit China. It was Qianlong's eightieth birthday. He proposed doing business with the Qing Dynasty. Ganlong was angry when he heard that he had never been to his birthday. In addition, Ganlong doesn't want to communicate with the world and is not interested in trade at all. Ordered him to drive away, he continued to immerse himself in China's dream of a great country and didn't want to wake up.

Little Shenyang is knowledgeable, sensitive and intelligent. He is well aware of the disadvantages of the closed-door policy, but everything is unbearable. Emperor Qianlong claimed to be "the country of China", and he didn't care about other countries at all, let alone listen to Shenyang's trade advice. Therefore, although Xiao Shenyang patiently mentioned to Qianlong the advantages of trade and the disadvantages of closing the country, he only waited for Qianlong's mocking letter to King George III of England.

If Qianlong had followed the advice of Xiao Shenyang and traded with Britain, the Qing Dynasty would not have been invaded by foreign forces and would not have perished. It's a pity that Qianlong is short-sighted. Although Xiao Shenyang died, it didn't change Qianlong at all. Missed an opportunity that might change the fate of the Qing Dynasty and even China.
