Among the governors and governors from all over the country, Zhang Zhidong seemed to be more dull. Zeng Guoquan and Li Hongzhang had a more speculative conversation. The two smiled and talked to Liu Kun from time to time. Bian Baodi, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, was interjecting a few words from time to time, making good jokes. Taiwan Governor Liu Mingchuan seemed to be in poor health and coughed twice from time to time. Li Hongzhang joked about him as the nickname "Liu Liumazi", and he just smiled.

When I entered the palace, Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guoquan, Liu Mingchuan, the old friends who started the Hunan Army, were recalling each other's back then, and they were all in tears. Some people sighed and sighed when they were like XXX conquering Anqing, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"The emperor is here! All the princes and ministers kneel down to welcome him!" As Kou Liancai shouted, the hall, which was originally a little noisy, suddenly became silent. The princes and ministers knelt on the ground. Because Yi Xin had been "driven back" to my house to rest, he was headed by Prince Li Shiduo, who led everyone to shout: "Slaves and others respectfully invite the saints!"

I laughed and raised my hand to signal them to arise, "I am safe, please be at peace. Those who can use wine will pick up the wine glasses. You are all officials in the border areas. I have always relied on it. Thank you for your hard work in the distance. I wish you a glass!"

After everyone finished drinking, a few of them gave some praises, and I smiled and received them one by one. The governors and governors of each province reported their respective provinces. Fortunately, God had eyes, and no major disasters occurred. In addition, when reading history in his previous life, he also noticed that God did have some protection. The Yellow River, which was often ravaged in northern China, did not have major disasters in the Guangxu Dynasty.

Zhang Zhidong proposed to join forces with several Southeast provinces to join forces to Europe to invest, especially the arms industry, and asked me to give me a tax exemption policy of one or two years. However, I thought this was a good thing, taxation is a small matter. The key is that he must be able to cultivate a group of skilled industrial workers for us, and the large-scale introduction of industry will be of great benefit to the progress of industrialization and the development of the mining industry. Why not do it?

The most important thing is that the situation in Europe is unstable, and visionary business owners will open their eyes to find a safe place to expand their interest production lines. The United States is a choice, India is a choice, and China is also a choice. China's overall artificial quality cannot keep up with the first two, so we must find our own advantages. So nodded and responded: "Well, Zhang Zhidong is well said, I have heard of good strategies before I have eaten yet. How happy! You can first find someone to investigate the European industry situation, and then look back at your own situation. We need not talk about our weaknesses, but

There are also advantages, and we must summarize them, such as whether artificial is lower than that of the West? Is minerals, transportation, and knowledge better than India, and the United States? These advantages and disadvantages must be summarized. The disadvantages are for yourself and gradually improved, and the advantages are for others to see them. As for tax exemption, I mean, tax collection is not the main thing, but the main thing is to introduce enterprises and drive industries. If we are really not competitive than the United States and India, what if we are exempt from taxes for ten or twenty years? The important thing is that we have learned something from the Qing Dynasty and can also build it ourselves in the future.”

Zhang Zhidong was very proud of this. He swept away the original depressed state. He secretly competed with Li Hongzhang in private. Now Li Hongzhang's cabinet is in power and has made a small contribution. Although he has made a small contribution, he cannot be compared with Li Hongzhang in any case. Today, he was commended by the emperor in front of the core officials of the country. With this big comment, how can he not be excited? He immediately thanked him: "My emperor is wise. I have been practicing in Southeast Asia for many years. I deeply feel that the people of the Qing Dynasty have not yet been opened. I still have few people who are familiar with Western learning. Now that Western learning is coming to the east, fortunately, my holy heart shines, and I have a complete plan. I celebrate my emperor and the great Qing Dynasty!"

I shook my hand and stopped his flattery. Before I could speak, an old voice popped out, interrupting what I wanted to say, making me feel uncomfortable as if I had eaten a fly. Looking up, it was the Minister of Works, Huaitabu, who was only fifty years old, but he had an old voice and a glossy face. At first glance, I knew that he had just had an argument with someone. He glanced at him, including Prince Rui Renshou, Ronglu, Yiketang, Changgeng and other Manchu officials.

"Your Majesty! Now, I value Western learning. Do you don't want the rules of my ancestors? The ancestors' laws are unchangeable. The servants are arrogant and serve as waiters in the Ministry of Works and ministers of the country, so they dare not refuse to advise!" Huaitabu walked to Zhang Zhidong with great momentum and stood together, glanced at Zhang Zhidong with anger, and spitted.

"Random!" I lowered my face and shouted, "Is there a slave who speaks like this? Kneel down! You still call yourself the minister of the country!" Waitabu's body shuddered, his legs weakened, and he knelt down and confessed, "Slave deserves to die, I am angry for a moment..."

"Just kneel down and listen to the preaching!" I sneered, "I understand and tell you, I want to use Western learning to promote the country. Zhang Zhidong said it well, middle school is the body and Western learning is the use. Middle school is the right person, Western learning is the right person, otherwise why will the country be strong? How can the ancestors fight against foreign aggression? The ancestors have achieved the law! Is it impossible for me to change? A hundred years later, I am not my ancestor? Huaitabu, you are too presumptuous! Who instigated you to come out and speak out loud?"

When I scolded me, no one dared to speak out, and no one dared to come out to persuade me. Waitabu was even more crawling on the ground, not even daring to show off his anger. I was very satisfied with this effect. I glanced at the faces of the officials in the hall and sighed, "Today I will make you so good, I will let you sweep away your excitement. Waitabu, raise your head and look at me!"

Waitab looked up at me blankly.

"You always say that your ancestors have made a Dharma. I ask you, can you write a theory in Mandarin? There are still a few people in the court who dare to pat their chests and say that they are proficient in Mandarin? What is this? Where is the ancestors' achievements?!"

He waved impatiently and said, "The guards will take his head and drag him down. I will wait for the order at home. Shi Duo will record his king's failure in the past and hand it over to the Ministry of Justice!"

Two guards had already taken his red roof and set up Waitabu and dragged them out of the hall.

I calmed down, and the atmosphere in the hall had not recovered for a while. I raised my glass and smiled and said, "I don't want to punish anyone today. Come and have a drink with me, don't ruin everyone's interest for someone."

This meal was approaching the hour of Xu and the atmosphere eased under my mobilization. Zhang Zhidong was the most proud of this, because he received praise from the emperor all night and chatted with several governors and governors around me. I also paid special attention to Ronglu, but there was nothing unusual. He had wine with several princes from time to time.

When it was almost over, I signaled to withdraw the table. After the eunuchs removed the dining table, I stood up and everyone stood up one after another. I clapped my hands and ordered people to carry out the screen I had prepared. The four big words written on the first fold were "Mingding Guoye".

"All the country's leaders, I have brought you from various provinces to clarify the country's name for these four big words. Since the Westerners invaded the border during the reign of Emperor Daoguang, our Qing Dynasty has been bullied repeatedly, and it has been more than fifty years since I ascended to the top. Since I became the emperor, I have been thinking about the way to make a strong country every day. Therefore, I have been silent and said that I do not value the law of ancestors." As I said that, I paused and raised my hand to signal the eunuch to open the first curtain. It was the name of all dynasties before the Qing Dynasty, such as the Qin, Han, Jin, Tang, Song and other dynasties.

"Since the ancestor of the ancestors of China, our Qing Dynasty has been going on for several dynasties. Since entering China, although there have been some ill-fighting policies, in modern times, we have strived to integrate Manchu and Han, and are both for China. What I wish, our ancestors were the two emperors Yan and Huang." At this time, discussions gradually arose in the hall, and I raised my hand to stop and said, "Ancestors, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang. This is a consensus. Therefore, I always think about it. Since the ancestors of the ancestors, in the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, I have recommended Qin and Han to the first empire in China, and Tang, Song, and the second empire in China; the Ming Dynasty, I have recommended Qin and Han to the first empire in China;

And my Qing Dynasty was the Third Empire. All my descendants of Yan and Huang were the people of the empire. The empire was weak, and every man had the responsibility to promote the country and strengthen the country. Besides, I was the emperor and the literati? I was determined to strengthen the country. No matter how big the matter was, I could not change my determination!" After saying that, he looked at His Highness and the ministers. (The Manchus, including the Xianbei people in the past, did not recognize themselves as descendants of Yan and Huang. This is a consensus. Emperor Shunzhi sacrificed himself to Emperor Yan shortly after entering the pass. Although there were political factors, it was also a manifestation of faith. Zulong was Qin Shihuang.)

After a long time, all the ministers and workers knelt down together and shouted long live the mountain.

I nodded and told them to get up and said, "What should I do if I want to have a strong country? I have to be upright in middle school and cannot resist foreign aggression. Then I can only use Western learning to learn. Did the ancestors never use the Western skills and tricks of Westerners? During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of this dynasty, Westerners served, and Jinji Nasher also used the soldiers to diagnose diseases. You may not know these things, but you may not be unaware of them. You just don't want to admit them."

I pressed my hands and let everyone sit down. I walked to the screen and said, "Someone wants to ask, "Your Majesty, what should I do if you want to lead Western learning to strengthen the country and build a country? I want to say, it's difficult to deal with-" and signaled the eunuch to pull the screen and said, "It's difficult to deal with, and then start with this - education!"
