In the secluded study, there was a dead silence. Xiao Lotian was silent for a quarter of an hour, how should he be changed? To be honest, Xiao Letian was just an ordinary little white-collar worker before he crossed over, it was nothing more than a personal hobby who was more willing to study military affairs and history.

But it is precisely because he has so many hundreds of years of history in his mind that he can calmly face the current situation. The Tongzhi period was a period when human history began to transform from the first industrial revolution to the second industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution represented by steam power, China has completely missed it, so will China miss the second industrial revolution represented by electrification?

This year is 1865, and in three years Japan will change the Yuan Meiji era, and the important Meiji Restoration in history will begin, and now the Japanese government and the opposition have a group of people such as Sakamoto Ryoma, Takasugi Shinsaku, Okubo Ritsu and others are desperately thinking about the way of change, and the old school and the reformists have already killed the bayonet red.

Three years later, Japan's small ship will begin to be modernized, and in just 27 years, that is, in 1894, the first day of the First Sino-Japanese War, the small Japan will be able to defeat the huge Qing Dynasty and tear the flesh and blood from the Chinese nation to feed its own nation.

has only been more than 20 years, and this is the most troublesome thing for Xiao Letian. Time is really not much, and it is a great change that has not been seen in 3,000 years, and you want to learn from other time-travelers to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty by the army, and then establish a new country, and by the way, let China complete the initial industrialization? The most important thing is to defeat the stubborn traditional ideas?

Okay, I'll see if there are any wild Ultramans to catch, and it might be a little more reliable for me to tame two.

Time passed minute by minute, and the devil six and nine handsome were quietly waiting with unprecedented patience, and the few women who were waiting for all retreated, except for one shorthand.

Xiao Letian seemed to be making a very difficult decision, even his forehead was oozing with sweat, and when he opened his mouth, Wang Ye and Jiu Shuai were stunned at that time.

"If I can't say anything, am I going to add a knife and axe soon? Is there an ambush of eight hundred sword and axe men outside this door?" Xiao Letian was so funny, and the atmosphere that had just accumulated in the study was exhausted by him.

In the eyes of Devil Six, if Jiushuai Zeng Guoquan said this, it would be a naked declaration of war, but if it came out of Xiao Letian's mouth, it could only be funny.

"Haha, Mr. Xiao is really returning from overseas, it seems that he has heard a lot of chivalrous legends of Sanshan and Wuyue, and he has forgotten what drama is and what reality is...... Hahaha, you really only know the West, and you really don't know much about the affairs of your home country......"

Yi and Zeng Guoquan both laughed, and secretly sighed in their hearts that there were still 800 knives and axes? Is there a better way to kill people in this world than foreign guns? I really want to kill you as a scholar, I took action as early as when you were plotting against Wang Lao Hanlin, do you really think that those bandits can protect you?

Of course, Xiao Letian is not a fool, he is just pretending to be stupid and deliberately saying some layman's words to prove his identity as an overseas lonely guest. Only when they don't have any label of domestic power on their body can they feel at ease with themselves.

"Well, since the prince didn't arrange for the knife and axe hand to chop me, I have nothing to say. Xiao Letian carefully recalled the reform path of various nationalities in later generations, and slowly put out the plan that had been thinking for a long time and was becoming more and more mature.

The thirty-year-old champion red on the table exudes a strong aroma of wine, and the dish has been cold for a long time, but without the order of the prince, the eunuchs outside the study just dare not come in to change.

"It is very difficult to carry out changes in a huge empire, it is like a cart full of goods, once it travels in one direction, it will produce a strong inertia, and if you want to change this inertia, you must exert greater force, and if these two forces conflict too fiercely, it is easy to cause the whole cart to be damaged or even disintegrated......"

Xiao Letian started with the principle that the boat is small and good to turn around, he abandoned the idealism of Yiqiē, but laid out all the problems faced by the Qing Dynasty one by one, and the core problem was the empire's rejection of Western ideas.

You say that the railway is a thousand miles a day and can pull 10,000 catties of goods? I just want to say that the sound of the train is huge, and I am afraid that it will alarm the tombs of the ancestors. You say that the steam engine is efficient and powerful, but I want to say that this steel monster competes with the people and harms the peasants and workers.

And you said that the earth is round? I'm sorry, I don't believe in that evil, even if you invite me to travel around the world, I'm not interested. As for what is said about opening the sea ban, building an ocean-going caravan to do business, or something, it is even more impossible, we don't want to change the policy of continuing the Ming Dynasty, and we can't change it, whoever changes it is a sinner through the ages.

Let's see, how powerful the power of tradition is, in fact, the core contradiction is that the Confucianism represents the Xianxue, from the bones afraid of the invasion of Western learning, if one day the country does not need to Xianxue to select talents, then these Confucian students do not want to drink the northwest wind? Therefore, the rise of Western learning must face countless resistance, even bloody resistance.

Speaking of this, Xiao Letian can't help but think of the Six Gentlemen of Wuxu, what kind of period was it, it was an era when the Japanese had just been defeated, and the Qing Dynasty was completely torn up even the last bit of fig leaf, and it was an era when almost all literati knew that if they didn't change, they would wait for death.

It was in such an atmosphere that Tan Si and others wanted to reform and strengthen their efforts, but in the end they were beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market, and once again suppressed the enthusiasm for change of the domestic literati with their blood. It can be seen that the traditional power is so strong, how can those in power give up the right to get it.

Xiao Letian doesn't want to die, don't look at him trying his best to establish relationships with foreigners, dressing himself up as a second devil, and then writing books to brush up his reputation, trying to exchange his identity as a great master of Western studies for a certain sense of security. However, as long as he dares to touch the power of the vested interests, even a little, he will die without a place to bury, and even foreigners will not be able to save him.

"Therefore, the Great Qing Kingdom is now like a weakened patient, although he has just survived the crisis from the Hongyang Rebellion and his body has begun to improve, but he must not forget the identity of the patient. Therefore, any major change is not desirable......"

"Here, I only have one advice for the prince, and that is the Special Economic Zone...... You heard it right, it is to create a small country within a state, of course I don't want to rebel, I mean that I want the Qing Dynasty to get a ...... owned by the Western powers at the smallest cost."

"Guangdong, Shanghai, Fujian, Ningbo, Tianjin, Shandong and other places, we can completely circle some places, close to the port, to build our industrial zone belonging to the Qing Dynasty. Here we can build steel mills, lay railways, build military factories and even shipyards......"

"The innovation of politics can be done slowly, but our Qing Dynasty must have its own industrial base, needless to say that we must be able to build guns and cannons, and what we need for this is our heavy industrial base! With sufficient foreign guns and cannons, we will have the power to resist the foreigners, and even if there is a rebellion, we will not buy it from the foreigners, which is too much of a loss......

Xiao Letian said in detail and slowly. He gradually sketched out the prototype of a huge industrial empire, China is too big, it is difficult to carry out comprehensive reform because of his size, but it is also because of his size that China has more choices and possibilities, and also has a great strategic depth.

Needless to say, as long as one or two provinces of China were able to industrialize, then the population and resources of these two provinces alone would be enough to compete with Japan during the First Sino-Japanese War. At that time, Ito Hirobumi once said that his opponent in the First Sino-Japanese War was only Beiyang, and there was only one Li Hongzhang, and the First Sino-Japanese War was actually a war between Japan and Li Hongzhang alone, and in this way, Japan's economy was already dragged into a state of bankruptcy.

Devil Six and Zeng Guoquan were already stunned, talent, this is a top talent, why did we not think of using this method to build a factory? If we thought of this method, we don't have to care about the chatter of those Confucian students. How good Mr. Xiao said, it's a big deal that the industrial zone has been built, and the walls will be blocked, and the ordinary people will not let them in, and then send the army to guard the chaos in the province.

Artificially control the danger hàizhì, let the useful goods flow in and out, and the rest of the qiē is blocked inside, who else can chew the root of the tongue now.

Prince Gong Wang Yi actually stood up excitedly and paced back and forth in the study, he could see the feasibility of this plan at a glance, the resistance of all forces to this plan must be the smallest, as long as a little effort will definitely be able to pass the court.

Zeng Guoquan was also moved, although the Hunan army now has several repair shops, and can even imitate some famous guns of foreigners, but there is one thing that they have not been able to solve, that is, the problem of the industrial system. Iron and steel plants, large machinery factories, precision parts production plants...... The industrial base of all kinds was almost zero in the Qing Dynasty, and the few repair shops only took the semi-finished parts provided by foreigners for assembly.

Baby, this overseas lonely guest is really a baby, and the representatives of the two major forces both shot greedy eyes in their eyes at that moment.

Of course, Xiao Letian knew what they were thinking, and he even knew the hidden desire to rebel in Zeng Guoquan's heart. In addition, Devil Six must be able to understand his subtext, and this kind of thing is not only able to avoid artillery fire in the court, but the most important thing is that it is easy to control.

The Manchu aristocracy could even enclose the industrial area with the walls as long as they stationed the most loyal Eight Banners troops in the above cities. These industrial bases would become the Manchu Qing Dynasty's own land, and they would definitely hold on to their own hands, just like the wicker edge in the northeast.

Time passed minute by minute, and when Xiao Lotian retold his plan in full, the sky was already dark, and the whole afternoon passed like this.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, this wine and food are crippled, don't you want to take care of the food anymore?" Xiao Lotian teased.

At this time, Prince Gong said to Xiao Letian, "I don't know if Mr. Xiao is interested in joining the court as an official......?

Good guy, Yi's courage is big enough, he is a second-grade high-ranking official when he opens his mouth, but it's a pity that it's only the Ministry of Industry. As soon as Zeng Guoquan heard the incense bait thrown out by Devil Liu, the look on his face was wrong at that time, he really didn't expect Yi to dare to make such a heavy investment.

But unfortunately, Xiao Letian shook his head with a smile, "The prince was negligent, you forgot that I am not a citizen of the Qing Dynasty now, if I become a second-grade high-ranking official, I am afraid that the court will go crazy." Besides, I am not interested in the court, and in two months, I want to invest in a foreign bank in Tianjin, do some business with foreigners, and make money in a relaxed and leisurely life. ”

There was a trace of regret in the eyes of the devil six, but then he said, "The matter of identity is not simple, we still recognize dual nationality in the Qing Dynasty, as long as you change your mind, sir, my promise will always be fulfilled!"
