C2177 Lobbying Tongzhi (1/2)
During this trip to Europe, everyone knew that the little emperor's main task was to travel and study. He wanted to travel the world to learn from the short term of other countries, and in the end, to provide reference for the reform of the Great Qing.
To be able to inculcate the advantages of a constitutional monarchy in the Eastern Emperor and affect the reform of the national policy of the Great Qing was the dream of almost all British politicians.
This was actually a very important reason why Zai Chun had to be so courteous. To sell the British political model to China, this was not only a political action, but also a matter that had very deep interests in the future.
Only by making the Great Qing carry out a policy similar to that of the British system could negotiations on further business progress be carried out. Only the government would not be so confused as to find a way to become a British person.
For example, the current capitalists of the Kingdom would spend their days on the map of the Great Qing studying how to lay the railways. It was a much bigger business than tea, silk or porcelain.
10 million gold taels for the first transition! There is no need to elaborate on how much money the railway makes.
However, the government of the Kingdom of Qing was simply too weird. The British could not find a way out at all. Normally, it was fine to do small businesses, but it would be fine if they negotiated directly with officials at the county level.
But the tens of millions of pounds of investment involved in the construction of railways across the provinces, a business that had to be negotiated with the imperial court, was a huge business between nations.
But can we talk? Ever since Tongzhi ascended the throne, the empress dowager and empress dowager who ruled over the Great Qing and even the foreign ambassador from the East Crossing Folk Lane were nowhere to be seen.
Although the United States and Russia of English and French had used the war to pry open the gates of the Qing Empire and force them to agree to the European powers setting up embassies in the Beijing, they did not expect the Qing Dynasty to have a way to please them.
I can't beat you anyway, but you want us to go to London, Paris, and Washington and do the same? I'm sorry, but we are not interested in this kind of tolerance.
What? You want to go into the Forbidden City to see the Empress Dowager and the Little Emperor? Please, the little emperor doesn't have an emperor yet, okay?
You said you wanted to see Her Majesty? Tai... What audacity. Don't you know whether men and women are intimate with each other or not? If you don't have a reputation, then the empress dowager of Qing must have a face!
How could a widow meet an outsider? How could a widow show herself? And to even see a bunch of foreign devils, how unpleasant would it be if word of this got out!
If the emperor could not see it and the empress dowager could not, then he could only look for the Prince Kung of the Head Office!
But unexpectedly, Prince Kung shrugged his shoulders and waved his hand, there was nothing I could do! With power in the hands of Her Majesty, I can't make such a big decision.
Come on, the ball is back in the Forbidden City. If you want to go to the Forbidden City again, the words you've been waiting for will still be there.
At this moment, the European diplomats that were left in China were all troubled by Qing Dynasty's actions of kicking balls. Even Xiao Letian was curious about the purpose of her actions.
However, when Xiao Letian used a lot of the resources in the CIA to dig up the truth from the mouths of countless Qing Dynasty Qing Liu and the high officials in the imperial court, Xiao Letian did not know whether to laugh or cry at the truth.
