When Zhang Zhidong saw Luo Yang again, it was already three days later, and he was accompanied by all the senior officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including Hong Renji, who was negotiating with the British and French consuls in Shanghai in the south.

"Today is an extremely important day, because, from today, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs will unify its clothing." Luo Yang smiled,

"It should be, it should be." Everyone talked about it, and they all rose up,

Anyway, after the fall of the Qing court, the various systems of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom were not yet complete, so that the newly established central ministries and commissions were very embarrassed in appearance, some still wore braids, some wore the military uniforms of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and some were the official uniforms of the former Qing Dynasty.

"Now, let's look at the costumes of our Foreign Ministry personnel." Luo Yang smiled and ordered his entourage to bring the costumes,

Luo Yang put it on himself, and then came out after he got to the back of the house and put it on, as soon as he came out, everyone in the house was shocked, and everyone who saw it looked at it in surprise and couldn't speak.

Under the personal leadership of Luo Yang, the tailors in the capital area were recruited and a national fashion designer was formed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a Tang costume." Star pattern, folio breast, dark silk, looks generous and solemn,

"Guys, this is summer clothes." The people of the Qing Dynasty, still wearing robes, ugly to death, eccentric to death, now snow-white shirts, straight collars, blue and gray trousers, belts, bound inside, wearing bow ties, very handsome and handsome,

"It's a suit, and it's one of the outfits of our diplomats."

Luo Yang showed off his new clothes and explained at the same time, and everyone was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that a national consul who came out of a ravine was so avant-garde,

What's even more shocking is that Luo Yang pushed all his hair off and cut it into a flat head, which he specially ordered, the barber was so scared that he dropped the chain several times and wanted to run away in the process, lest Luo Yang be crazy and regret it afterwards,

"From now on, all our personnel in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will immediately get haircuts and change their clothes." Luo Yang gave an order and encouraged everyone that this is the mainstream of clothing in China in the future, and joked: "Keep your hair without your head." ”

Luo Yang talked about the benefits of short hair, and pointed out that China is now poor and backward, only to catch up with the powers, this is the allusion of Hufu riding and shooting, and everyone is at ease, in fact, looking at the new clothes are handsome, cool and simple, it is too late to be happy,

This way of radical change, in the original Taiping Heavenly Kingdom generals, the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom generals, caused little controversy, all those who can come to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, are more open-minded, but also Luo Yang deliberately selected, plus Luo Yang's prestige, quickly implemented, even Zhang Zhidong and others The original Manchu officials, also felt the balance in their hearts, anyway, this change, even the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not take care of it, and did not adopt the full-hair model of the Taiping Army, this point, especially made the former Qing officials happy, indicating that Luo Yang was not biased,

There were also people who whispered, but they were reprimanded by everyone and hurriedly obeyed discipline.

"Braids." Li Hongzhang was reluctant to cut it, and in the end, he finally couldn't help it,

"Lao Li, what's wrong with the braids, do you think you were born with braids on your head, before the Manchu Eight Banners Army came, did we Han people have braids?" Luo Yang asked him,

Li Hongzhang was relieved at once, "Yes, yes, yes." ”

After changing clothes, it is the kind of snow-white shirt and trouser belt in summer, everyone feels very energetic, and, because the weather is hot, these clothes are still half-sleeved, everyone wears clothes, and they compare and draw there, so beautiful, and they feel that King Rui is amazing, and they can come up with such a good style of clothes.

"Ruiwang is a genius, such a costume, so it's much more convenient." Zhang Zhidong was amazed,

Clothes are fur, as soon as the matter is over, Luo Yang asked about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the past few days, asking everyone to cooperate tacitly, work together, for major matters, to inform each other, and, immediately set up a diplomatic intelligence network, send personnel, collect all kinds of intelligence, not only at home, but also abroad, ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, quickly open a foreign language school, cultivate English as the core of the world's multilingual training courses, these people, quickly sent to various countries, as secret personnel lurking, personnel for the country, bonuses and other rich, However, in order to obtain information,

"Spying on the Great Powers." A lot of people still can't get used to it,

"Yes, so to speak, we have to understand the world, and not passively get beaten, be beaten, and not yet know who the enemy is." Luo Yang ended the discussion with a list: "Wang Huamin, you will be the person in charge of the foreign intelligence network, the information collected includes politics, military diplomacy, science and technology, including foreign and domestic foreigners, and report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a timely manner, and at the same time, also inform all departments that your organization is temporarily subordinate to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and will be independent in the future." ”

"Yes, King Rui."

Luo Yang attaches the most importance to the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, because there are many domestic things that need to be done well, but the handling of the international environment is the general climate, and he is planning to break through from here one by one.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the window of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom to the world, and because of its special affairs, it is convenient to implement the new policy.

"As a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we have to learn one or more foreign languages." Luo Yang laid out,

The officials all listened carefully to Luo Yang's words, speculating on his intentions, characters like Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong didn't dare to show their superiority in their hearts anymore, Zhang Zhidong was originally the top three and the first, the point jinshi, Hanlin's, arrogant, originally never put Luo Yang in his eyes, wanted to see their jokes, unexpectedly, people issued licenses at will, he couldn't think of them for a few days, as for foreign languages, he was even more wilted,

Luo Yang opened his mouth and said a few words in a foreign language, although he didn't learn English well and hated it, but he only knew on this occasion that he still needed it, which was very useful.

"Good, good, King Rui said it well."

Everyone applauded together, it was Li Hongzhang, and he finally admitted in his heart that Luo Yang was a genius.

Luo Yang also asked these people, whether they knew how many foreign languages, how much they could speak, and invited a few people to demonstrate, and then, encouraged a few, stipulated, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs set up a special training center for diplomatic personnel, standardized courses, and required every person to choose one, in the time of the unit, unconditionally mastered, but also exams, all those with excellent grades can serve as official officials,

After saying a lot, Luo Yang turned to the main topic: "Today, we are going to discuss a major matter, and this king invites you to seriously study all the treaty documents signed by the Qing court with foreign countries over the years, from 1840 to the present for more than 20 years, and find out which ones are unreasonable, and we in China are being bullied and oppressed by foreign devils." ”

"Lord Wang, you mean that the treaty will be amended." Zhang Zhidong asked,

"Yes, as I said, our Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom is an independent foreign policy of peace, and if any country undermines this policy of ours and makes it impossible for us to be independent, then we don't want that peaceful diplomacy." Luo Yang said,

"Could it be that if there is something unreasonable, it will be changed, then, can the Western devils agree, if you don't revise the contract, you are likely to face war." Li Hongzhang was worried,
