Chapter 13 begins with the layout of the continuation of the first chapter
Cixi asked, "Emperor, do you have any other ideas?" ”
Guangxu said while eating, "There is also the fact that we have more than 13 million square kilometers of land in the Qing Dynasty at its largest, which was occupied by Tsarist Russia a few years ago, but our land area is still the second largest in the world, our strategic depth is too great, too broad, plus your efforts over the years, our people's wisdom has gradually opened, so there is no country in the world that can eliminate us, so you can rest assured, they are all clowns!" ”
Cixi looked at the letter of appointment given to her by Guangxu, the tobacco company?
Managing director?
How many officials is this?
Guangxu said; "Just let them do something and make an industry, what kind of officials do they want?"
Cixi said: "You child, people do things for you, how can you not give them some benefits, can this tobacco make money?" ”
Guangxu said; "I will try to make as little money as possible, and the main goal in the future is to export abroad"
Cixi is very happy today, Guangxu is right, this is strategic, the general direction has been chosen, and the rest is the details, why should I compete with him? You have the ability! I can afford it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
So he said to Guangxu, since it is the emperor's errand, it can't be too shabby, the general manager will give a five-grade official, and the deputy general manager will give a five-grade bar, and they will all give a fellow jinshi background. Moreover, he asked people to copy the original holy decree from the new, and used the treasure seal! Give it to Guangxu!
Guangxu took it and talked about the emperor's father, I went to study!
Cixi watched this son run away, and thought, this son seems to have grown up suddenly!
Guangxu returned to his palace and saw those old eunuchs standing at the door, oh! It turned out that Li Hongzhang and Weng Tongyi had already come to teach him a lesson, Guangxu Ran and they went to find Lu Zhengxiang and Zhao Bingjun and asked them to report to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow!
Guangxu handed the holy decree to the two of them, and the two of them were confused when they looked at the appointment above.
These two people Li Hongzhang knows, the young children who studied abroad back then were organized by Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, and later they were created to make people, and they failed to persist for multiple reasons, these two people were not finished in their studies at any time, and they returned halfway, and they were not reused when they came back!
But now Guangxu suddenly got them a five-grade official, or from the same Jinshi, look at the seal on it, this is the queen mother's consent, when did the queen mother be so generous.
Guangxu said, the two of you are familiar with each other in the capital, you must try to coordinate the affairs of these two people, and those who can help must help!
Okay, has Prince Qing's donation come up?
Weng Tongyi said that he had received it, but because the household was empty, the flag did not sound last month, so the money was in one account, and the owners of each flag took away 400,000 taels.
Guangxu was anxious when he heard it, what! What a hard work we've had to do these bastards!
It's all start-up capital!
The two old men are very calm!
Guangxu thinks about it, forget it,
said, the Beiyang Navy Division is 800,000 taels, and it can't be less, otherwise it will be even more unsustainable!
400,000 taels to the Royal Naval Academy, 300,000 taels to the tobacco company, and Guangxu still wants to start a newspaper, it seems that there is no money.
I told Weng Tongyi that you let Li Hongzhang take away the money from the Beiyang Naval Division and the Royal Naval Academy as soon as possible, and the money from the tobacco company, the two main losers of the tobacco company will take up their posts tomorrow, and you will let them take the money after they take up their posts!
The remaining 100,000 taels, teacher, you look at the 10,000 taels used, is it appropriate to reward the meritorious personnel who do this work, Weng Tongyi said that there are not many people who know about this matter, 5000 taels is enough, so take out 2500 taels, and the two of you will take 8000 each, this is a vote, you have to take it if you don't take it!
Guangxu asked Li Hongzhang; "Is Guo Songtao's health okay?"
Li Hongzhang's eyes widened, Guo Songtao was the first minister of the Qing Dynasty to foreign countries, but his diplomatic road was not smooth.
This reminded Li Hongzhang of a lot of the past at once!
After Guo Songtao was relegated to China, Guo Songtao, who was extremely lonely, arrived in his hometown of Changsha by boat. At that time, there was a trend of conservative xenophobia in Hunan, and Guo Songtao's sudden return was like adding fuel to the fire, and the situation was even more tense. At this time, the slogans scolding Guo Songtao as a "traitor and traitor" and "colluding with foreigners" have been plastered all over the streets and alleys. As a member of the second rank, when his ship arrived in his hometown, he was despised by Qipinzhi County, allowing many people to insult and spit on Guo on the shore, and preventing him from going ashore.
Regarding the accusations and neglect of the officials and people in his hometown, Guo Songtao looked at them with contempt. He said, "Slander all over the world, but my heart is calm." He also wrote poems: "Arrogant and lazy are not distorted, and they are old to be expressed." After hundreds of generations and thousands of years, it is certain that there is such a person in the world. The world wants to kill the positioning talent, and the clumsy is frequently counterattacked. The knowledge is half official and half obvious, and he has opened a few times in his life. This is not only his perception of his life experience and ending, but also his silent protest against the conservative and corrupt officialdom ecology of the Qing Dynasty.
After Guo Songtao lived in Changsha, he still cared about national affairs. He often dismisses the imperial court on current affairs and diplomacy, and writes letters to friends who serve in the court, talking about his views and suggestions. During his free time, he also wanted to do something for the country and society, and now he has set up an anti-smoking club in his hometown to take the initiative to promote the ban on smoking. Raise funds to prepare for the establishment of a shipyard and develop the shipbuilding industry. It's a pity that none of them succeeded.
Looking at Li Hongzhang in a daze!
Guangxu shouted twice. Geezer! Geezer!
The rest was handed over to Guo Songtao, and he was asked to go to Shanghai to run a newspaper, mainly to introduce the situation in Europe!
Well, and Tibet, the Queen Mother already has an idea, and I think the Queen Mother's idea is very good!
Then Guangxu asked; "Is there really no money in the household?"
