Chapter 144 Reform

Li Hongzhang said; "These are just a few of the problems, and now the problems facing our Chinese Empire are far more than these, and there are many problems that the ministers have not yet mentioned, I hope the emperor can hold a meeting as soon as possible and come up with a way to deal with it as soon as possible!"

The old man was already very excited when he spoke, and it was really not easy to make this old man excited!

Guangxu said; "Have they all arrived in Beijing?"

Li Hongzhang said; "Prince Gong is in Nanjing, so this time Tang Shaoyi, Zhao Bingjun, Wu Ciren are here, Marshal Zuo Zongtang is in Kunming, since the war between us and Tsarist Russia started, the British small actions behind us have been continuous, this Burma is also very unconscious, has been following us to find trouble, we are now in the south of the army is too little, Zuo Zongtang does not dare to draw too much troops to occupy the city, France has not made any action now, but dare not guarantee that there will be no action in the future!

There are also a lot of foreign businessmen in Taiwan now, the United Kingdom, France, Japan and other countries are building factories in Taiwan, investing in the construction of wharves, judging from the photos that have been sent back, the current Keelung Port is no smaller than the Guangzhou Port, especially Japan, which is particularly enthusiastic about Taiwan!

Jang Zhidong has already organized four divisions of militia in Silla Province, but these Goryeo sticks are not taken seriously at all, four are lion rifles! It's all given to these turtle grandchildren, and I don't know if I can play a little role when something happens!

Now Zhang Zhidong is in the Lushun Ordnance Company, supervising the submarine construction project and other military weapons manufacturing projects, the main reason is that there are too many places to ask for money now, and now the officials of the Ministry of Finance spend every day in a thrilling process!

Guangxu said; "Why?"

Li Hongzhang explained; "Today I was shocked by the high figures of the Empire's revenue! Tomorrow we will be shocked by the huge expenses, and the day after tomorrow our government will be surprised by the large amount of money borrowed in the market!

Now that I have taken a look, the amount of the Empire's accounts in and out of a month is larger than that of the previous year!

The cost of this war between us and Tsarist Russia has now come out in general, in the 470 million Dragon Garden! As far as the current fiscal revenue is concerned, we will have to pay it back for another ten years! ”

So Tang Shaoyi, they are very anxious!

Now there are many holes that can't be plugged, and if we don't think about it, our government will go bankrupt!

When Guangxu heard it, how familiar was this voice!

Guangxu did not immediately return to all of Li Hongzhang's questions, but said; "Tomorrow at ten oon, let's hold a pre-imperial meeting in the Qian'an Palace!

Li Zhongtang, rest early!

Li Hongzhang stood up and saluted Guangxu!

When he was about to leave, Guangxu said; "Li Zhongtang! Qing Wang Ye is gone, you all have to take good care of your health!

Li Hongzhang said; "Thank you, Your Majesty! The old minister will definitely be! ”

Guangxu said; "There is still a war in the empire, and this battle is the key to the revitalization of the empire!"

Li Hongzhang saluted again!

Guangxu said; "Mader! You use my car to escort Li Zhongtang to the guild mansion! ”

Ma De sent Li Hongzhang out!

At this time, two people came out from behind the screen!

A fat man, he still has a box of pastries in his hand, he just eats it himself, and he doesn't mean to give that person a little bit at all!

The two of them came to Guangxu's face, the thinner man bowed to Guangxu, and the fatter one just nodded, then found a chair and sat down by himself!

Guangxu saw such a situation and said; "You're welcome!"

The fat man said; "That's right! Otherwise, I'm having fun with you! ”

Guangxu said; "Don't you know how to give a little bit?"

The fat man said, "He doesn't eat!" ”

Guangxu said; "Have you asked?"

Then the fat man raised his head and said; "Do you eat?"

At this time, Yang Naiquan, who was a little thinner, sat down opposite the fat man and said; "Don't eat it!"

The fat man said; "You're too old for this CPU! It's slow to react! ”

At this time, Guangxu said; "How's it going, what's going on with everything you guys are looking for?"

The fat man said; "None of them are clean, they are all stinky!"

When Guangxu heard the fat man say this, he didn't ask the fat man, but looked at Yang Naiquan!

At this time, Yang Naiquan nodded, and then called the document in his hand to Guangxu's hand!

After Guangxu opened the file, he was also very shocked to see the text on it! Guangxu knew that there were no fish in Qingshui, but he really didn't expect that the amount was so huge! What do these people want to do?1 With so much money, they can't spend it at all! Even if their sons come to spend together, it will be difficult!

Guangxu really doesn't know, what are these people doing with so much corruption!

Guangxu lit the document on the candle in front of him, and then watched him burn to ashes, and then said; "The important members of the empire cannot be changed casually, and drastic changes will cause shock!

Keep Tang and Zhao, this Wu!

Let him step down! But you can't kill him all at once, what do you think of this person's plan to make him a 'Seraph'? ”

As soon as the fat man heard this, he immediately put down the pastry in his hand and spoke while chewing something; "This person is very suitable!"

The thin man on the other side also nodded!

Guangxu said; "In that case, let's attend tomorrow's Imperial Council with the two of you! There is also the matter of Wu's incriminating evidence reading and presiding trial, you and Li Jie are in charge, and they will still work together in the future, and the others are inappropriate, and now you are still singing this black-faced Bao Gong! ”

As soon as Li Jie heard it, he immediately agreed, and said; "It's okay, I'm not afraid of offending people! Leave this big tiger to me to fight! But the following cats and dogs, Zhao Bingjun dealt with it himself! ”

Yang Naiquan said; "Those people, he won't be soft!"

Guangxu asked at this time; "The matter of the Heavenly Machine Sect, how did you handle it!"

Li Jie said: "Zhuge Weiming has been determined to be dead, but no clues have been found, and those old guys can't say a definite answer, so let's deal with it as missing!" ”

Guangxu said; "It seems that this matter can't be dragged on like this anymore, but as soon as this Zhuge Weiming dies, the Skyrim Sect can no longer take on the responsibility of managing religious affairs, and I think that now it has become the 'National Strategic Security Bureau', and it can no longer be delayed, so Li Jie, you can work hard!"

Li Jie said: "My brother is married, and now he doesn't have his own house, and my parents at home farm every year are also very hard, and they can't earn much money!" ”

Guangxu smiled; "I, the emperor, only have an annual salary of 200,000 dragon yuan!"

How much do you want?

Li Jie said: "You are the emperor, okay! At least 500,000 dragon yuan! And there are also packs to eat and stay! ”

Guangxu said; "Given!"

Li Jie was stunned, am I going to be less!

Guangxu said; "Come less!"

Tomorrow, it will be announced that the "National Strategic Security Bureau of the Huaxia Empire" will be established, and the first director will be you Li Jie, you will go to Gansu immediately, and you must teach a good lesson, those who do not follow the rules, let them know that the era of Tianji Sect has passed!

Li Jie said; "Let's do it! I'm so fat that it's inconvenient to ride a horse! That car of yours is still. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info.

Guangxu said; "Don't go overboard!"

Li Jie whispered; "Stingy!"

At this time, Guangxu said to Yang Naiquan; "How's going with the Royal Academy of Sciences' Quantum Institute?"

Yang Naiquan said; "Everything is in the making!"

Guangxu said; "Now that the front part of Mobei Province has been opened, the possibility of what you are looking for is the greatest in the Arctic Circle, so you should take people and set off immediately!"

This dark, not tall man stood up and saluted Guangxu!

And then it's gone!

Li Jie put down the things in his hand, saluted Guangxu and left!

Guangxu looked at the time, it was already three o'clock in the morning, it really didn't stop!

But it's better to go back to sleep!

When Guangxu returned to Kunning Palace, the queen was already asleep, but the queen was really obedient, and she really didn't wear a single piece of clothing on her body, of course, the belly pocket was not considered clothes!

Guangxu was also very tired, and at the same time, he couldn't bear to disturb the sleeping queen, so he hugged the queen and fell asleep!

Just when Guangxu was asleep, a little eunuch also came to Cining Palace!

Speaking to the current Queen Mother; "The emperor has already arrived at the queen, and then the two should have fallen asleep, there was no movement, nothing happened!"

The Empress Dowager Cixiang said; "Let the imperial dining room make more meals that are not aphrodisiac, the emperor must be very tired during this time!"

Promise!

The Queen Mother walked next to the two little grandsons again, looking at them sleeping soundly, happy from the bottom of her heart!

At this time, a palace maid came to the side of the Queen Mother and said; "The Queen Mother is past the ugly time, you better go to bed early!"

The Queen Mother said; "People are old! Awaken less! ”

。。。。。

In the prime minister's office hall in Nanjing, many people were waiting for Prince Gong's summons, but they waited for a long time, and Prince Gong still did not summon them.

Talked about; "When will the marshal be able to see us!"

The staff officer said; "The marshal is old, and his energy is already very limited, you don't have anything important, so don't bother the prince!"

One of the army officers, with the rank of colonel, came to the staff and spoke; "At present, there are many chaotic party elements in Fuzhou, demagoguery, cults are rampant, unscrupulous profiteers are forced to buy and sell, and smuggling boats are overflowing along the coast!

These are no small things!

Let's ask the marshal to come out and show it to everyone!

What kind of thing to do?

Okay, okay, I can understand the mood of the adult, but the old prince is really physically unable to withstand such high-intensity labor, you better let him go!

So what are we going to do?

The staff officer said; "The three prime ministers have all gone to Beijing, news has come out from Beijing, the emperor is already holding a 'pre-imperial meeting', your questions will be raised at this meeting, and you will definitely give you a satisfactory answer when the time comes!"

At this time, everyone calmed down a little!

It's all gone!

The crowd dispersed!

This staff officer returned to Prince Alcohol's room, where there were other high-ranking officials in Nanjing. Led by the Minister of Education, Ho Zi Yuan!

This person is no longer the overwhelmed young man before, now his biggest task is to ask Tang Shaoyi for money, Tang Shaoyi values money more than her life, because there are too many places to use money, and every minister is waiting for money!

Now the most expensive thing is the railway department, so He Ziyuan and Zhan Tianyou quarrel very fiercely, one wants to develop the railway, and the other wants to pay attention to education and science and technology! But now there is no need to quarrel with Zhan Tianyou, that guy is building the Beijing-Shanghai railway!

But now there is a problem in front of him, and he has to deal with it immediately!

Prince Alcohol is sick! Very sick!

The order of power of the government of the Chinese Empire is regulated!

Above is a prime minister and two deputy prime ministers, followed by the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Industrial Development... Minister of Education, Minister of Railways!

The Minister of Education is almost a minister at the bottom, but there is no way to do it, because those prime ministers and ministers either went to Beijing or supervised production in the factory outside!

The old prince's body is tired!

Looking at the doctors who were busy before and after, He Ziyuan's heart was very clear that this news should be notified to Beijing immediately, and the old prince was afraid that he would not be able to survive!

。。。。。。。

When Guangxu woke up the next day, he finished the things that he didn't finish last night, but he didn't expect the effect to be very obvious and refreshed! In the end, the queen had to beg Guangxu for mercy, and Guangxu let the queen go, but the queen would not be able to get out of bed for a while!

Guangxu looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock, and he said that the "Imperial Meeting" was good!

Guangxu gets dressed with the help of the palace maid!

Then Guangxu came to the queen's side and said; "You little goblin, you're about to drain me!"

The queen pulled the quilt up hard and buried her head in the quilt!

Guangxu didn't intend to let the queen go easily, and pulled it open through the quilt。。。。。。

。。。。。。

Guangxu came to the Qian'an Hall after breakfast, this place has not been used for a long time, looking at the crowd outside, it is obvious that they have already arrived, and after seeing Guangxu coming, they are all saluting!

Guangxu came to his seat, and after he was done, he said; "Find a place to do it yourself! If you have something, just say it! Let's talk about them one by one! ”

At this time, Zhao Bingjun said; "The rebellious people in the south of the emperor have begun to show signs of gradual expansion, they have begun to attack our government institutions in many places, and there is also the problem of the direction of public opinion, and now there is everything to say.

These people are all our Chinese people, if it is suppressed, our manpower will not be enough at all, but if this continues, the situation will definitely get out of control! ”

Guangxu did not return to Zhao Bingjun's question, but asked Tang Shaoyi!

'What is the number of pistols produced in our empire now, and can we guarantee the production of pistols in large quantities, even with small bore pistols!' “

Tang Shaoyi said; "Our empire has just produced more than 750,000 tons now, but this number sounds very much, but it is very small when used everywhere, compared to our shortage, these are a drop in the bucket!"

Guangxu was also very shocked when he heard this figure, because in the first three years, China's steel output was only 50,000 tons, and in three years, China's steel output has increased so many times!

Guangxu said; "All your problems are caused by the inconsistency of the economic foundation and the political form of the upper class, and you can no longer use the previous methods and visions to open the bag, otherwise you will definitely suffer!"

Many high-ranking officials below are listening to Guangxu's instructions!

Guangxu said; "First of all, pass the bill in the House of Representatives, and the citizens of the Chinese Empire can legally own weapons!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers below began to discuss!

Will this work? This will definitely lead to chaos in the world!

This Guangxu said; "The person who legally owns a gun must be a rational person who decides that he can't shoot casually, and that the main purpose of owning a gun is; When you are bullied, attacked, or persecuted by outsiders, let your opponent have some scruples and be afraid!

Just imagine, if the citizens of the Chinese Empire could legally own guns, would anyone dare to infringe on his interests casually!

My property, my wife, my relatives, these are mine, I legally own these things, and anyone who tries to force me to give up these things will definitely pay the price! ”

This is like "nuclear weapons", many countries have them, but no country will easily use these things, so guns are not just as simple as guns, they are the freedom of the people! ”

At this time, Zhao Bingjun said; "If every citizen can legally own guns, will the whole of China be broken, and no one's hatred will erupt in the inner line, and it will definitely cause chaos!"

Guangxu saw; "Chaos will definitely occur, so the role of your public prosecutor and law is reflected at this time, you must identify those people who cannot be issued guns, just remember such a point, so that you can still save the cost of the government!

Those who have a criminal record, who can't control their emotions at all, and think about their own interests must not be issued a gun license, that is; "The Chinese Empire acquiesces that every citizen has the right to wear a gun, but those who have violated the interests of other members of society can no longer own guns, there is only one opportunity, everyone must cherish it!"

Tang Shaoyi, how to deal with the chaos caused by this!

Guangxu said; "You're talking about if the people are all guns, will they shoot indiscriminately!

Tang Shaoyi said; "That's right!"

Guangxu said; "We have two methods, the first is to experiment on a small scale to see how well the experiment works, and then start to promote it throughout the empire, and the other is to select specific people to issue guns, and then see what kind of effect it will cause!"

In fact, your worries are unnecessary, and each of us is not a single individual! You have your friends, your siblings, your mom and dad, your cousins, your cousins, each and every one of us lives in a circle!

Anyone who uses a pistol in their hand must think carefully about the consequences that will come later! If you really kill someone casually, if he has a brother, father, cousin, cousin, or cousin, he will probably avenge him!

It's not as simple as killing one person, if you kill one person, you're fighting against another family! So deep down in everyone's heart, they measure such things! ”

Many people below are digesting Guangxu's words!

At this time, Cai Shaoji of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said; "Your Majesty! Our territorial treaty with Russia has been finalized, but now there is another question, you are the Russian warships in the Far East have been trapped in the North Sea, what to do with this fleet! ”

Guangxu knew that in the port of Vladivostok, there were indeed some Russian warships, at this time, a port that would be frozen in winter, when the Sino-Russian War broke out, when Lu Yongxi led the men and horses of the Fifth Army of the Imperial Army to come here, the resistance encountered was very small.

So the whole fleet is still there, Tsarist Russia knows that this army has not suffered a lot of damage, and with the arrival of spring, the ice on the sea has begun to melt, and the meaning of Tsarist Russia is that China can give this navy to Tsarist Russia!

Guangxu said; "It seems that the naval strength of Tsarist Russia is very tight! Otherwise, I wouldn't be staring at these boats! ”

Cai Shaoji said; "Since we withdrew, Tsarist Russia has sent a pursuit of a million men, who have not taken advantage of the slightest advantage, and have lost so many Cossack soldiers, that Nicholas II was very angry, and his anger was first avenged on the Ottoman Empire.

The heart is inseparable!

And the losses of the Baltic Fleet of Tsarist Russia are also very heavy!

So these ships are still very important to Tsarist Russia, if we give them back, our partners in this war will turn against each other, but if we don't give them, the empire may not be able to live morally!

Guangxu pondered for a moment and said; "Europe is so chaotic, and Britain doesn't make any moves! The order in Europe should now be dominated by Britain and the Empire! ”

Tang Shaoyi said; "Now the economic winter in the UK is very serious, which has caused millions of people to lose their jobs, so the UK is now enduring the hard life!

Guangxu said; "We can return these ships to Tsarist Russia, and we must stand on our moral grounds, so we keep our promises, and I hope they can also keep their promises and set the actual boundaries between the two countries as soon as possible!"

At this time, Guangxu made a very strange discovery; Why didn't Li Hongzhang come, Li Zhongtang!
