In the evening, the ruby and emeralds offered by the lion country were piled up all over the room, although the queen mother lived in the palace for many years, and was accustomed to seeing the treasures of the world, but there was a ruby the size of half a football shining in front of her eyes, shining under the light, the queen mother was still stunned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Lion Country is Ceylon, and it will also be Sri Lanka in the future, the Queen Mother removed her eyes from the pile of rubies and emeralds, "What is the Lion Country going to do, send me such a big gift?" "It's not profitable, what are they's trying to do?

"The Lion King and the Prince and others have been confined by the British in Mumbai," Gao Xinkui said, "This is the local prince, dedicated to the Queen Mother," Gao Xinkui's face was a little strange, "I heard that the Queen Mother is the most enthusiastic to stand up for the vassals, and they have also heard of the scene of the Sulu Kingdom in the past, and the Prince of Ceylon said that in the past, the former Ming Zheng He went to the West, and the Lion Kingdom was a vassal of the Celestial Empire, and he also received the Golden Book and Jinbao." So these are to return to the Celestial Empire and be a fence of the Celestial Empire, hoping that the Queen Mother will support them. ”

The Queen Mother shook her head and asked people to take it down, "Ceylon is so close to India, I really can't do it, so let someone go back." ”

"The messenger of the prince has committed suicide by poisoning, and no one can go back." Gao Xinkui said indifferently.

Suddenly no one spoke in the room, and there was a dead silence, "The power of the British has reached such a point, it's just that they have accepted the softness of others," the Queen Mother suddenly became a little discouraged, "Bozu, you have also seen it in Calcutta, you said, this is not the headquarters of the British, it is already so prosperous and developed, the British are so powerful here, it is simply shocking, if China wants to be with the British, I am afraid that it will be between thirty and fifty years, it is not enough." ”

"Since you can't play with it for a long time, why not catch up?" Gao Xinkui said that he accompanied the Queen Mother to travel, and his feelings were also quite great, in addition to contributing to the Daqing Daily, he also kept a diary in private to record the things going abroad, "I have seen the prosperity of the British now, but I have the bottom of my heart." ”

"What do you mean by that?" The Queen Mother asked, she felt that such a comparison was like a person holding a knife and a person holding a musket, how could she fight like this? Originally, he was quite ambitious, but now it seems that the gap is too big.

"China is strong for hundreds of generations, standing at the top of the world for thousands of years, because they are the first, far stronger than their neighbors, which raises the problem of arrogance, and now the foreigners leave us behind, the benefits of armament science and technology, the best in the world, although a little frustrated, but in the end, we have an example to learn, with this example, we learn the same, the science and technology of the foreigners have been learned, and then the old and the new, and then the blue out of the blue and better than the blue, so that it does not save a lot of detours?"

"Tongzhi ten years, with earth-shaking words to describe the change, is not an exaggeration," Gao Xinkui said eloquently, "the water division from scratch, the matter of foreign affairs, also like the mushrooms after the rain to prosper, it can be said that it is like a change like gunpowder explosion, not to say, just say the telegram, this move, shorten the distance between the center and the locality, the news can be reached instantly, there is no danger of not being able to get through and cause the people to change, and the local area is not divided from one side to delay the possibility of respecting the imperial decree, railways, official roads, postal services, ships, the victory of domestic materials, Far more than Jia Daoxian, richer than the three generations of Kang Yongqian, although these were bought with money, but in the end, we saved countless thoughts to invent them. ”

"Bozu you said it makes sense," the Queen Mother nodded, she suddenly thought of the future Celestial Empire, that is, to take a ride on the Western countries, science and technology to buy and learn to steal, just follow the Western countries' ass to follow the trend, their science and technology learned to ten ten, and then independent innovation, or copycats, no wonder the future US President Obama sourly said that the Chinese have been hitchhiking and have not contributed to the development of the world.

"As long as we keep implementing foreign affairs and learn all their things, we are not afraid that we will not be able to keep up," the Queen Mother paced back and forth excitedly, "This is also the reason why I took you out, we are in the country, what we see is what foreigners are willing to show us, just in the case of the Beiyang Naval Division, in the port of Calcutta, I look at the British fleet, it is a few percent larger than us, I don't understand warships, but I think that the cannonball mouth is a little bigger, it is always a little more powerful, and I see the British sailors so unruly during the day, Thinking that if you are very convinced by the Beiyang sailors, you will definitely not. ”

"When I go outside, I buy what I see, I learn if I can't buy it, and I steal it if I can't learn it!" The Queen Mother said categorically, "I don't believe it, at this time, they will refuse money because of any national interest!" "It's still the era of free trade, and it's not yet the time to give up economic interests for the sake of national politics.

Nalan Fulai announced: "Someone from the north." ”

"Call in!" The Queen Mother hurriedly said, "I'm just waiting to see him!" If he doesn't come again, I'm afraid I'll have to leave, so let's take you with me. ”

"Yes." (To be continued.) )
