1417 The Emperor is like a mountain
Zaichun never thought that his appearance would cause so much trouble, and plant the seeds of conflict in the future, at this moment he has only one idea, to complete the master's task well, and use his supreme imperial power to escort the Jiangnan stock market.

He smiled and waved to the people on both sides and the officials on the river, and he secretly swore in his heart: "I will definitely live up to my mission, and I will definitely complete the master's task satisfactorily.
"Not to mention the prime minister's promise, as long as I complete the task well, I will be given 10 million military expenses every year in the future! Haha, I'm so happy, the military budget for the expansion of the new army in the Royal Forest has finally been settled!"
Thinking of this, Zaichun shouted, "Let the magistrates of Jiangnan get on the boat, I want to meet my herdsmen officials! Let the old people on the shore get on the boat, I want to meet them......"
"Yes!" The soldiers on the deck saluted and received the order, and soon the official ships on both sides of the Zhiyuan were jubilant, these magistrates who had no chance to see the holy car finally had a chance to show their faces in front of the emperor, not to mention that there was also the real man with real power on this battleship, Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea.
The pure ironclad warship, with the mighty aura of the European Industrial Revolution, directly pressed the hearts of hundreds of officials. The closer you get to the battleship, the more you can feel the majestic power.
Artillery, steel, rivets, rust...... On the deck, there were sailors with their chin up and proud, nails-like, crisp navy uniforms and fluttering hatbands.
This made the officials who were familiar with everything in the Great Qing Kingdom couldn't help but be awe-struck on the battleship one by one on a crane like a cat and mouse. Stepping on the teak deck, one can even smell the smell of gunpowder, and every crack in its deck is filled with the choking smell of gunpowder.
"Oh my mother, what kind of cannon is this, why is it so coarse!"
"Don't talk, I heard from foreign merchants that this cannon is not even so big on British battleships, so I'm about to bow my head and kowtow to the emperor......"
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" The old high-ranking official who knelt down on the deck with a large butt pouting did not dare to raise his head on the deck.
With a snort, I don't know which filthy sailor actually laughed, and the commander's murderous gaze patrolled through the group of sailors, warning these daring boys.
But when the chief turned his head to look at these big-ass officials, they couldn't help but laugh one by one. This kind of scene will never be seen in the Ryukyus and in the Chinese officialdom, and now I understand how wise it is for the prime minister to abolish the kneeling ceremony, this kind of etiquette is really too ugly and ridiculous.
Jaechun also felt a little uncomfortable, he has been with the prime minister for a long time, he is naturally contaminated with a lot of new ideas, new habits, teenage children are the key moment in the shaping of the outlook on life, at this stage he admires the values of people the most can affect him.
Now Jae-chun is extremely disgusted with the robes and horse coats of the past, but Western-style pants, suits and even military uniforms can attract him more, flexible and easy to move, well-cut, and stylish...... This style is more suitable for the tastes of young people.
Looking at those brilliant officials, Zaichun couldn't help but show a trace of disgust in his heart, but there was no way, whether he liked it or not, it was his own people.
With patience, Zaichun walked off the bridge, "Zhong Aiqing is flat! Please get up, come here! Move the seat and give the seat...... Hmm? I want to see the old representatives of the big places? Why don't you see any of them?"
Suzhou Mansion Yin hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Majesty Mingjian, due to the rush of time, this screening work is really troublesome, the people's representatives are being elected, and they are being elected......"
"Nonsense!" Jae-chun's eyes widened, "Can I still trust my people? What do you want to screen? Could it be that the people on both sides of the strait still want to assassinate me? What is your intention for not letting me see the people and the people?"
"Your Majesty's atonement!" The official who had just stood up and knelt on the ground again, "Your Majesty atoned for your sins, we are really loyal, and we are afraid of accidents!"
"Okay, okay, I know your kindness, I understand it! But I have limited time, after inspecting Jiangning, I have to inspect the stock market, the time is tight and the task is heavy! I'll give you another half an hour, if I can't see the old people in Jiangnan, then I can take a boat and leave directly!"
As soon as they heard that the emperor was leaving, all the officials hurriedly shouted, "This is done, this is done!" Come on, within a quarter of an hour, the state capitals will immediately choose to stay and the local goodness to board the ship and listen to Your Majesty's teachings!"
The organic spirit official suddenly had a flash of inspiration, what did His Majesty say just now? After going to Jiangning, you still want to go to see the stock market? Isn't that just a mutual aid association that a group of businessmen got together to get together to spend money shortage?
Yangzhou Mansion Yin cautiously smiled and said, "Your Majesty......! Do you want to see it, to see the stock market?"
Zai Chun nodded, "Of course I want to go, the stock market is a good thing, it can save the people from money shortage, and it can provide taxes to the imperial court, such a good new thing, I always have to take a look!"
Belch...... The officials looked at each other cautiously left and right, and they changed their eyes, feeling that there was a problem here, there must be a problem.
Suzhou Mansion Yin licked his lips, "Your Majesty, I don't know if you inspect the stock market...... The queen mother and princes in the Beijing Division, do you have any instructions for the lower officials?"
I didn't dare to ask directly, Suzhou Mansion Yin chose the curve to save the country, not to say whether the queen mother and princes agreed or not, only to say that there were no instructions for the lower officials, according to this kind of scene of seeing light from all sides, it should not provoke people.
But I didn't expect Zaichun to be also a violent temper, and his eyes widened at that time: "Oh, this is Wang Leishan from Suzhou, right? I remember that you are the official ordered by my father! Why am I mistaken?"
"You weren't used by my father, why do you seem to have used it by my mother and uncle!"
Wang Leishan's face turned white at that time, and he knelt on the ground with a puff and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Under is the official promoted by the first emperor, and below is the loyal minister of the emperor! The next official is promoted by the first emperor, and the first emperor is as kind to the ministers as a mountain, and His Majesty is also as kind to the ministers as a mountain......
Clang, three heads were knocked over, and blood splattered from his forehead.
Jae-chun smiled, took out a white handkerchief from his arms, threw it in front of him, and said with a smile: "Okay, get up......! I'm going to tease you! I haven't been in charge yet, so this time I will go to Jiangnan and listen to and watch and ask questions, and I won't give you random commands!"
"My emperor is merciful!" The officials present hurriedly climbed up the pole, and they muttered one by one with palpitations, "This is different from what is said in the intelligence, the fellow villagers and colleagues in Beijing all say that the emperor is childish, and he is very confused! But when I saw it today, his words were like knives, and his wrists were skillful, this is a genius child who plays politics!"
"Could it be that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng taught it? Damn, this Xiao Letian really teaches dry goods? Don't they all say that he just fooled the little emperor to play, so that he could change his identity? This fucking water is too deep......
From this moment on, everyone present no longer dared to underestimate Emperor Tongzhi, and by the way, everyone had a high opinion of the stock market, and everyone understood that the stock market was the little emperor's heart!
