Chapter 14 begins with the layout and continues II
Weng Tongyi replied: "The emperor's wedding has prepared 5 million taels, the pro-government ceremony has prepared 5 million taels, and the construction of the Summer Palace has 8 million taels......
Listening to Weng Tongyi say this, Guangxu was very angry, he knew that the Qing Dynasty was like this, under the control of Cixi, it was really "national unity", this is not a good word, state affairs should be handled as family affairs, family affairs are more important than state affairs, and in the end, the country will be ruined!
And he still can't touch the money, it's really infuriating, okay! Don't force me to make a trick, if you don't do it, you will see blood!
Guangxu said that the country is in an eventful time, and I advocate simplicity in the matter of my big wedding and pro-government ceremony! Save the money to make up for the navy!
But speaking of the navy, do you have a budget for the money you spend every year, and how much money will be spent to use it, do you have a plan?
Both old men were dumbfounded, what kind of new word is this, budget plan!
Guangxu told them about the importance of this budget, the most important point is that although the prevention of corruption cannot be eliminated, it can be determined in the general direction, at least it will not be like a bottomless pit, endless!
The two old men thought it was feasible, so Guangxu asked the two old men to go back and make up a budget plan to take a look!
The next thing is Guangxu asked, about the gun drawings?
Li Hongzhang took out the drawings he drew from professionals, this time the drawings are many times more fine than the sketches of Guangxu flowers, Guangxu looked at it, and there are several tolerances that are wrong, material selection, process steps, the key is the processing technology of the double line, and added it in detail, and then handed it to Li Hongzhang. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info told him to quickly divide these drawings and rattan drawings into several points and hand them over to Zhang Zhidong's Guangzhou Ordnance Bureau, Shanghai's Ordnance Bureau, Xi'an's Ordnance Bureau, and Li Hongzhang's Tianjin Ordnance Bureau.
He also told Li Hongzhang that Tibet was unstable, and informed Guangzhou and Xi'an that after the looting was completed, they would enter Tibet together with the military instructors at the Naval Academy, and we would try out these guns in Tibet, plus train the local militia units in Tibet!
There is also the purchase of machinery and equipment, now cigarette factories and steel factories are the most urgent, modern military warfare, the fight is the military industrial system behind, the war burns money, the money is invested in steel, so steel is the basis of modern warfare!
Here not only let Guangxu think of a few poor data, in 1937, Japan launched the "77 Incident" followed by the "Shanghai Defense", Japan arrogantly proposed to destroy China in three months, in addition to Japan's arrogance, there is also our industrial system is really too weak, but China's annual steel output is 50,000 tons, and Japan is 4.58 million tons, not even a fraction of his inferior, it can be seen that the difference is too great!
This thing can't be bought casually, according to the different conditions of each iron mine and coal mine, to determine the right machinery and equipment, Zhang Zhidong made such a mistake, so that a lot of silver taels were wasted, and the key is that precious time!
Now that the old man Zhang Zhidong is still in Guangzhou, he will go to Wuhan soon, where he goes, Zhang Zhidong will start his glorious second half of life, and he will be eliminated in the bud by mistake.
Guangxu said, you take people to China's national iron mines and coal mines, collect samples, send them to England, Germany and France for testing, and then quote a copy of the sample test results for production equipment, we are in a comprehensive inquiry comparison, combined with domestic minerals, transportation, labor and other conditions of comprehensive investigation, to see which equipment to buy is cost-effective!
Li Hongzhang said that there is no money!
Guangxu knew that he would say this!
You first send someone to collect samples, inquire about it, there will be money after the real big wedding, and when the time comes, we will build large-scale steel plants in Wuhan, Tianjin, Fengtian, and Guangzhou, and other places can build their own steel plants, and we can build our own ships and build other machinery and equipment with steel, so that we can use these equipment to build other military and civilian products, such as silk reeling equipment, weaving equipment, boiler equipment, and internal combustion engines that will come out, these are all steel!
Li Hongzhang and Weng Tongyi were dumbfounded again, this emperor's thoughts jumped too fast, couldn't they keep up, and how much did he spend on so many factories!
Okay, you guys go back to business!
Do you remember what you have to do?
Guangxu knew that these two masters had never been very right, so Guangxu said in particular, what is the silver is divided, you have to settle down with what we said to do, 800,000 taels of naval military expenses, 400,000 taels of naval academy, and Guo Songtao's report money of 75,000 taels, and this time the "name letter" 8,000 taels, the money must be given to Li Zhongtang, my share will be taken by people in the past!
Okay, that's it!
What are we going to learn today?
I'm waiting for you to call me?
The two teachers looked at Guangxu, picked up the food they brought today and left, and when they walked out of the door, Weng Tongyi turned around and said, "Why don't you read the "Book of Filial Piety" to the emperor, and run away after speaking!"
Guangxu thought about it, what did this old man think? Why did he ask me to read the Book of Filial Piety?
How can it be like it without money!
It's hard for me, the emperor!
Blessed!
Let's see if that Li Ruohong is in the palace, let her come to see me!
After Li Ruohong came!
Guangxu looked at him and said, "Do you have the courage to do something big with me?" ”
I don't know what the big thing the emperor said is?
I! I'm ready to buy the Old Summer Palace!
Yes!
Your Majesty, that is a royal garden, is the emperor of many dynasties poured his heart to build, condensed I don't know how many skilled craftsmen, gathered a lot of rare treasures, only to get the admiration of eternity, now it is the greatest royal garden in the world, it is really not an exaggeration, it is well deserved!
Guangxu thought, if he can stay, of course it is the best, but the problem is that there are no pieces left that were burned later, and there is still a thousand years of shame and shame, what use do you want it to do, it is better to sell it, turn it into some cash, and start my great cause of revival!
When it is impossible for Guangxu to tell her this, since she decided to buy it, in the eyes of Quan Daqing, Guangxu's reputation as a loser will definitely fall, and this must be done with a plan and steps, and you can't mess up.
Sell it at a good price, isn't it!
Guangxu and Li Ruohong talked about it!
It's not that I bought it all, but I bought the things that I was selling, I still want this place, I have a lot of use in this place, but I won't be looking for a place for the things in it, so I just bought it, and I still can't buy it now, and now I just have to do some preparations.
I plan to let you go to Jiangnan, and the job to do is to see what the market demand is, you take this catalog, this is the treasure catalog of the Old Summer Palace, and go to the rich areas of Jiangnan to see how much money can be raised after these things are sold!
And this matter must be carried out in secret, and don't leak the rumors!
Li Ruohong took the album and left!
From today to now, Guangxu has been busy all day, and he has not had a good rest, and now everyone has gone out, and there are only two people left in the hall, Guangxu and Defu, Guangxu suddenly thought of something, why is his side so deserted?
Didn't this prince have all the companions?
You see that Kangxi has Wei Dongting's companion, this Wei Dongting later became the governor of Liangjiang, what a good position this is, there should be a very right person to come to this position, Guangxu wide to accompany the reading boy!
Guangxu turned around and asked about this blessing! Where's my companion reading boy!
Defu was dumbfounded, he hadn't heard of Guangxu and his companion reading!
In fact, there is a reason for this, when Guangxu just entered the palace, Cixi was still very Guangxu, this nephew, he was still very attentive to him, and personally taught him literacy is one of them, and then Cixi was very busy, especially when the Empress Dowager Ci'an died, and then abolished the devil Prince Liugong, since then the Qing Dynasty has entered the "Cixi dictatorship" period, at this time Cixi is busy seizing power, very busy?
In addition, the Qing Dynasty during this period was indeed suffering from internal and external troubles, and there were many things, so there was no time to manage and take care of Guangxu, but this old lady recognized one of them, and she must no longer be as pampered as she was with Emperor Tongzhi, and she must be strict!
So this Cixi always came to discipline him in his busy schedule, and later managed Guangxu like a mouse, and he couldn't resist at all, as for those teachers who treated others or said nothing; In two sentences, the treatment of Cixi is also silent!
As for this companion reading, Cixi didn't say that it would be configured for you, and others had to ignore it, so Guangxu has never had any companion reading!
Now Guangxu needs people, and there must be a small team in the future, isn't it, so Guangxu has thought about it, dinner! Go kiss Daddy! Where is Cixi going to eat!
As he spoke, he said to Defu: "Get up, Shouchun Palace!"
Was it a coincidence? Lafayette is eating, Guangxu is welcome, and Cixi is finished! Just tell Cixi, the sons haven't eaten yet?
Guangxu is unceremonious, Cixi's table is full of real dishes, there are more than 30 of them, Guangxu has to eat one by one, while talking about this delicious, come to Li Anda, bring this to the Queen Mother Lafayette!
This is delicious, and this one will also be brought to the Queen Mother Lafayette!
This one!
This one too!
Cixi saw that there were plates in front of her, and slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks!
said: "Emperor! Isn't there something wrong with you? ”
No! Guangxu replied!
Cixi said, is there really not?
It's just that it's too lonely to study alone, and Erchen wants to find a few companions to read!
Oh!
Cixi said that this is not a difficult matter, tomorrow in the Hanlin to choose a scholar to mix you with the study!
Daddy, I want 30 people to study with me!
How much?
You're saying it again!
Let's go for 50 people!
