Chapter 275: The Central Railway Begins!
In 1867, a lot of things really happened, at the beginning of the year, Emperor Xiaomei suddenly died, and the death was particularly painful, there must be something strange in this, and Naito took advantage of this incident to meet the emperor, this guy didn't say a word, and directly sued Emperor Sù Muhito, the one who killed your father was the shogunate, and we can be angry for you now, Emperor, what do you think?
Needless to say?
Dry!
Now the results are in, and the royal party has won a big victory!
So what's next......
"Majesty!" Naito immediately said: "The current situation is extremely favorable to our army, it can be said that the world has been pacified, and it is better for us to move the capital to Edo next, and when we get there, we can completely control the last henchmen of the shogunate." ”
"Good, good! What the gentleman said is very true. "Emperor Muhito, a 16-year-old child, that's not what Naito said, he just nodded.
In fact, Naito has long seen this matter, now that the emperor is young, and his own strength is strong, he, now he is not just thinking about the 'fixed body question', he Naito now sees greater power.
"Majesty!" I only heard Naito continue: "The minister has been saying that all the advanced countries in the world today use a constitutional monarchy, and this form of government is the benchmark for advanced countries, so you must start the reform of the constitutional monarchy immediately!" ”
"Ahh......h
Seeing that the emperor was a little hesitant. Naito's face sank a little. "陛xià. Please believe that what Wechen does, what Wechen says is for you! In addition, please see, this constitution is all in your favor! ”
"Oh, is this coming out? Sir, he is really talented. "Emperor Muhito was very happy because he really wanted to see what this constitution really was.
In fact, it took nine years for the original Japan to enter a constitutional monarchy. But the problem is that although it is nine years, in fact, the Japanese constitution is basically copied from the American constitution, of course, there are some differences, because Japan has an emperor, and this part, I will go to the United Kingdom to find the legal provisions.
So, it actually took Japan nine years to copy the book, but this time, Naito's method was similar. It's to copy the Constitution of the United States, but no. In the section for the emperor.
"His Majesty the Emperor is the supreme ruler of all Japan? ……”
When Emperor Muhito read this, his whole eyes lit up.
This constitution is too good, isn't it?
It was directly stipulated that the emperor was the supreme ruler of Japan, and there was also oh, and the emperor also retained all his previous statuses, such as the high priest of Shinto...... And so on and so forth.
And there are laws related to nobility, which is very good,...... Of course, this is the law from the UK.
"Your Majesty, the minister didn't lie to you, did he?" Naito smiled.
"No, no, this is great, this is ......" Emperor Muhito still hesitated.
The reason is very simple, he knows that he is only 16 years old, and there is such a big benefit in front of him, but he, the emperor, doesn't need to pay something?
However, isn't it strange that Naito said that he didn't need to do anything, that the emperor didn't need to do anything?
But that's all good!
"Well, that's what Mr. wants." Isn't it just constitutional, sooner or later!
"Aha!" Naito kowtowed his head again, this time his pronunciation, was it a laugh, or something else?
It should be said that there is nothing too big a problem with this constitution, but you must know that although the emperor is the supreme ruler, don't forget that there is a problem with the mechanism of the operation of power!
Yes, who is in the hands of the real power?
And don't forget that there are other things, that is, the identity of the emperor, the emperor himself represents the high priest of Shintoism, and represents the status of the gods in people's homes, so there are some things he can't do!
That's right, you're all gods, so you can be your gods, and don't worry about our people's affairs.
This is not nonsense, but the reality is like this, that is to say, as long as the constitution is established, then the current situation will lead to the fact that the emperor only has the right to 'seal', and the other real power is actually in the hands of Naito, the Naesu Domain, and the Satsuma Domain!
So from this point of view, I'm afraid that this guy Naito is Li Mengyang, right?
It's hard to say this, it's not good to say......
But in any case, these changes in Japan are definitely unexpected by Li Mengyang, a traverser.
So what is Li Mengyang, the emperor, doing now?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
I saw that on the mountain, countless sand and stones erupted, followed by a wave of shaking of the mountains!
"Oooo
"Comrades! Today is the first explosion of the Central Railroad across North America! Our Emperor Xià has also taken great pains to visit you! ”
"Salute to His Majesty the Emperor! All of us members of the Civic Party must be a good example of being pioneers and taking the lead! ”
"Promise your majesty! Our Imperial Production and Construction Corps guarantees to complete the task ahead of schedule! ”
Sitting in the convertible, Li Mengyang had just seen the distant mountain being blown up, and now he was inspecting his engineering troops, the main construction workers of the central railway.
"Excellent! …… Comrades are glad! ……”
Li Mengyang kept waving his hand, and the builders along the way, one by one, saluted, or burst into tears.
This scene...... I don't know why, Li Mengyang had a bad feeling, because he recalled who Jin Sanpang met and who......
We're definitely not him, absolutely not!
At least we don't call it 'J-8 perpetual motion machine'.
Well, in this state of mind, which is impossible for anyone to imagine, the great Clint. Li I's majesty, it's okay to sum up these messy things, hey~
"Your Majesty, you are really a Ming Jun who shocked the past and the present! I never thought it would be today. It is possible to build such a great railway. Yes. 陛xià! ...... "Sitting in the car together, it is naturally indispensable for Leland. Stanford.
This guy is really awesome enough, he has a face in front of Sward, and another face in front of Li Mengyang.
"Comrade Stanford, don't say that, we have to believe in the power of the people." Li Mengyang was modest, obviously, he didn't know what Stanford told Ward in London.
But anyway. This railway is going to be repaired, this is definitely a great thing, the current empire will continue to build, nothing can stop the pace of construction, even if it is this kind of railway project, there is a great risk!
Li Mengyang is not stupid, of course he knows what this railway will bring, of course it will bring goods, but it will also bring soldiers!
However, he Li Mengyang has a point. It's about not doing anything that prevents anything from developing, like business. He wouldn't do that, because he knew that there were some things that couldn't be stopped, like this business.
On the other hand, such a railroad has been completed, although the final result of the United States of America is not yet known, but it doesn't matter, we have built it first, then the tentacles of my empire can not be extended far, far away?
That's right, this railroad is prying open the Nevada Mountains and the Rocky Mountains, and there are actually no people along the way, but it is equivalent to making the empire stretch an arm out of the quilt!
Yes, Li Mengyang doesn't care whether the Congress of the United States is connected or not, our empire cultivates first, and we can repair wherever we can, and where we can cultivate, then where is my territory, hehehe...... Anyway, they can't reach out to the United States right now!
And ah, this railroad was built from Sacramento, and all the way east, not far away is Colorado, where there are gold mines now!
Hey, hey, the United States is now more lax in governing Colorado than it was in California, because it's really too far away, and the road is really not easy to walk. Moreover, it is said that not only gold was dug up there, but a large silver mine was also discovered.
In addition, there is another important reason for Li Mengyang to do what he says.
This railroad was built by Stanford!
Yes, this kid borrowed money to repair it, although he borrowed money from the Imperial Bank, that is, Li Mengyang's own money, but the question is, this money is also what you Stanford owes me, right?
My brother is settling accounts, so in this case, this is not my Li Mengyang repair, this is your Stanford repair. In addition, the number of cars has gone up, and the citizens of the empire find one thing very disturbing, that is, it is too bumpy!
This bump is not a problem with the tires, the tires have now been changed to fill with cotton, everyone is not stupid, they will consider it from this angle, although it has not been inflated, but this idea has now come out, and it is still in the real yàn, so that is to say, the wheels are not a problem, that is the problem of the road!
Yes, you Stanford isn't building a railway, then I, Li Mengyang, am going to build a road, this highway is a car, which is different from what you build a railway.
So...... As you can imagine, the railway system will have a harder time.
Yes, now that there are cars and good roads, then the big cities of California, San Francisco and Sacramento are so close, can the railroad not lose money?
It turns out that the pit is here!
To be honest, Li Mengyang definitely didn't dig a hole for Stanford very deliberately, it can only be said that there is a little bit of intentionality...... Because of this thing, the railroad must be built, no matter what, it must be repaired.
And now the situation in the United States is that the railways are all built by private companies, so if our empire is forced to build it by the state, it will not look good, right?
So, how to see it...... It's still a big hole!
When cheating people, Li Mengyang always laughs, especially when facing Stanford.
"Your Majesty, this is the newspaper you want!" This time, Li Mengyang came over with Zhou Xiaoshan, this kid has grown up, but this mouth is ...... Anyway, I still have to call my father.
Li Mengyang rubbed Zhou Xiaoshan's head, took it and fell in love with it.
But this newspaper ......
This is a well-known newspaper in the South of the United States now, "Women's Power"! (To be continued......)
PS: Qixi Festival is finally over, and the black car, a good single young man, can be regarded as less stressful......
