Chapter 29 Establishment of a Field Observer Mission

During the banquet, Guangxu appointed Wu Zhongxian as the Chinese representative of the investigation team, and other countries also sent corresponding representatives to form a joint investigation team, which set off three days later. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info then Guangxu raised his glass and drank a glass with everyone, and Cixi also nodded and went back!

Next is Guangxu to promote China's products, from tea, porcelain, to silk and jewelry, and then there are tobacco, wine, sugar and tea and other supplies, China will take the high-end product route, China is willing to open the country, emancipate the mind, common development, hope that countries can also open the door to China's artwork, and food culture and martial arts and acrobatic culture!

It is hoped that in the future, China and other countries will be able to communicate with each other, make progress and develop together.

Today, we have produced the tableware, food, and accessories we use in China, and you can accept reservations today!

At this moment the French minister shouted; "Your Majesty, I like this luminous cup so much, can you sell me this luminous cup?"

At this time, the German minister also shouted: "Your Majesty the Emperor, this jade cup is an artifact for wine, can you give him love to me!" ”

After Guangxu listened to the translation, he said that Tang Shaoyi called to his side and said: "Did they come by carriage when they came?" Isn't that horse drifting beautiful? ”

Tang Shaoyi was stunned! According to the previous management, as long as a foreigner speaks, my heavenly kingdom will definitely reward it on the spot, and what a big country wants is a fan!

Tang Shaoyi was stunned for a moment, and said, these two ministers did come by carriage, and the people who pulled the carriage were all good breeds!

Well! Good!

At this time, Guangxu said to the two ministers, "These two cups are the treasures handed down by Kangxi, and after how many eventful years, they have passed to my hands, and I really like these two cups very much, but do you say how to buy them!" Let's do it! Let's make a friend exchange, you have your carriage and my exchange!

The two ministers were stunned! Carriage!

And then ask weakly?

Does it include horses?

Guangxu replied; "Of course! A carriage without horses, is it a carriage? ”

The two ministers are in trouble, both of their horses are, and the two ** who are very pure in the European horses, are really a little reluctant!

At this time, Guangxu knew that this deal was a deal, and it would be very profitable to buy Chinese horse breeds back to Europe after improving them, so he immediately talked about it, of course, you will not suffer, I will add a cup to you, let you make a pair!

These two ambassadors were distressed, and in order to have momentum, they used four horse-drawn carts when they came out today, and they knew that they would be replaced, so they would just use two horses!

Then Guangxu smiled and said, please enjoy it today!

Guangxu went back to rest, after all, they were only ministers, not heads of state of other countries, if it weren't for the fact that they were not ready, these guys sent troops to interfere, which may lead to a repetition of history, and there are many strategic goals such as the development of foreign trade, which really shouldn't be such a high-standard reception!

Fortunately, it's over, Guangxu is going back to have a good rest!

But the fate of fatigue is really so tragic, Li Ruohong's letter came!

The general idea is that the buyer already has it, whether it really wants to act!

At this time, Defu also came over and said, the emperor's Summer Palace is Lafayette's beloved thing, if you really do it, where is Lafayette really good to deal with?

Guangxu has always been the idea of playing the Summer Palace and the royal gardens in the western suburbs, and has always used the code to buy the Old Summer Palace, afraid that Cixi knew the news in advance, and obstructed it, if the Old Summer Palace was not burned down in 1860, Guangxu would not have thought of selling these two gardens, because he was kept, and the result might still be robbed and burned!

Guangxu said that the "Old Summer Palace Plan" remains unchanged, starting with the royal garden in the western suburbs, let her go back to Beijing and deal with this matter with Tang Rongjun of Jiahuo Culture Company!

And what happened to her family that really asked you to check out what happened?

Defu replied that Prince Qing had already asked people to investigate the matter, and the result of the report was that the family had not yet arrived in Xinjiang, and they were robbed, saying that none of the family survived.

There is also no one for the female dependents, and now in this world, Li Ruohong no longer has any relatives!

When Guangxu heard this, he was shocked! What happened to this woman is so miserable!

The next morning, when the court was in court, Li Hongzhang said that Wu Zhongxian had set out for the front line in Tianjin with the envoys of representatives of various countries to investigate the cause of the incident.

Next is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Tateyama, said that yesterday he received a request from ministers of various countries to buy porcelain and jade, and silk and silk, which have always been royal tribute, and the servants thought that they should not be easily sold to others.

Guangxu said, how much of these stocks are in the treasury now?

Tateyama coped with the fact that there was a surplus in tribute over the years, and it has been many years now, and it is indeed difficult to count for a while!

When Guangxu heard it, you gang of losers!

Can't you share some sorrow for the country?

Guangxu said, as the head of the Internal Affairs Office, your official position is from the third grade, and you are also a member of the local government, how can you not know how much money you have?

Guangxu said to Cixi in the back, "Dear father, now that the treasury is empty, it is not as cost-effective to put these goods in the treasury as it is to realize them, and now the military budget is tight, as long as you leave the palace for use, buy the rest!" ”

Cixi knew that this was the truth, and then she spoke; "Tateyama! You have to carefully check the inventory, don't be perfunctory, report the detailed list, check it, and discuss it again, and there is, at this time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is, don't talk to the court next time! ”

As soon as Guangxu heard it, okay, this old lady refused to let go, it seems that she still has to let it, Tang Shaoyi and they bought it in Jiangnan, fortunately, Guangxu has already asked them to prepare in Liulifang, and the goods will be prepared soon, and after the fame of the Internal Affairs Office, it will soon be able to realize a large amount of money!

Next, Prince Alcohol said that the first battle of the pro-guard army was a victory, and everywhere they went, they all looked forward to the wind and surrendered, and the results were very brilliant!

Guangxu's heart is broken, this is embarrassing to say, a group of regular soldiers with firearms, to fight a group of farmers with farm tools in their hands, and embarrassed to pack the results of the battle, this is really sad! There are too many old soldiers among them, although there are constraints from Rong Shangqian and Ma Wu, but Guangxu is really not at ease!

But no matter what, the urgent need now is solved, and the final success is only a matter of time, and all the ministers, including Cixi, are relieved!

The next thing is to report the matter of Tibet again, Duan Qirui has fought with the British army a few times after arriving in Tibet, because there is not much ammunition with him, just a few hits, and then stopped, the strange thing is that the British army also stopped, and now both sides have stopped moving.

There is also Duan Qirui robbed more than 300 new rifles that were successfully trial-produced in the Guangzhou Ordnance Factory, as well as artillery shells for infantry guns.

Guangxu had to bear this matter, so Guangxu asked, what is the production situation of the Tianjin Ordnance Bureau now?

Li Hongzhang said, "Now we use the assembly line method to manufacture guns according to the emperor's concept, which does make the production of guns much faster, but we are affected by the production of iron and steel, and are often in the predicament of stopping work and waiting for materials, and now we have completed the production of 1,000 new rifles, and now we can produce 80 rifles per day if the accessories are sufficient, and we can produce an infantry cannon a day!"

Or steel production can't keep up!

The foundation of modernization!

Guangxu turned back to Cixi behind him and said, "Father Huang, it seems that the development of this steelmaking is also urgent, and the son suggests that it be accelerated,"

Cixi said; "What are you going to do, I don't have the money to lend you, and the money for your wedding has been misappropriated two million taels, do you still want to embezzle two million taels? You really can't get my niece back for a million taels. ”

Guangxu said; "Is that okay?"

Then Guangxu didn't just say what Cixi was saying, but directly said to Prince Alcohol and Weng Tongyi, you two should work hard, the household department sorted out the silver, the prime minister Yamen sent a special person, Li Hongzhang You have to assist from it, so that Zeng Shu (one of the thirteen Taibao) will be ready to set off tomorrow, and go to Europe and the United States to check the inspection of coal mines and iron mines, and then customize steelmaking equipment according to the actual situation, first focusing on Hanyang and Anshan!

The three of them said in unison that they obeyed!

Then it was said that Liu Mingchuan in Taiwan had already been rumored that this Liu **zi had caused a lot of trouble in Nanyang!

The specific report has not yet been passed back, but the current American governor in Luzon, and the British governor in Java and other Nanyang governors are asking the minister in China about China's attitude towards Nanyang, and many times the attitude is very unfriendly, but the strange thing is that the imperial court has not received any protests until now?

Guangxu knows that Liu Ming's fax is still making trouble, it's okay, as long as you do it correctly, I will definitely support you.

At this time, Guangxu said, "Literature must be armed with weapons!" Li Hongzhang, let the Beiyang Navy Division enter a state of readiness, and the artillery shells and other military supplies I asked you to buy have all arrived, how much silver taels are left in the account of the Ministry of War for the Beiyang Navy Division?

Li Hongzhang said that we have bought all the shells that can be used by the warships of various countries in Shanghai, which are sufficient for the training and daily combat readiness of the Beiyang Navy Division in the second half of the year, but there are no shells for the super ironclad ships that can be used by the Zhenyuan and Dingyuan. Recently, the new military uniforms have been replaced, and the arrears of salaries and silver taels for goods and materials owed by all parties have been repaid, and a total of 1 million taels have been spent, and now there are more than 200,000 taels left in the book military expenses of the Beiyang Naval Division.

Guangxu said, let Deng Shichang, the commander of the Beiyang Naval Division, Zeng Bo and Tang Shaoyi visit together!

Tang Shaoyi went shopping and made money to let those two goods buy things!

Trade is a good thing!
