C2397 Tongzhi the Emperor (1/2)
”Master is right, this servant's brain is like a pig's, and does not understand the big issues of the military economy. I really thought the His Majesty was just going out to play, I really should fight!”
Da Sixi said as he reached out his hands to give himself a light slap, making Zai Chun laugh out loud.
”As long as you don't understand, you should know. Our ancestors had laws governing you, so eunuchs and harem members shouldn't interfere …” ”If you understand everything, then you won't be too far off from death …”
”Yes, yes, yes …” ”The master's guidance slave will never forget …” As he spoke, Da Sixi still looked towards the direction of the room where Hairy # 2 was.
This was Xiao Letian's spy who had infiltrated the Forbidden City, but even though he knew that was a spy, he didn't dare to touch even a hair on his head. This feeling was simply too unpleasant.
When he thought about Hairy # 2, Zai Chun thought about the Winged King Shida Kai who faked his identity, and then he thought about his master who deceived him.
His heart felt like it was being cut by a small knife. The pain was so excruciating that blood dripped from his wounds. However, there was still a smile on his face when he came over.
”Hurry up and prepare breakfast, I'm hungry!” If Gordon comes, get him to come in and prepare a set for him too … ”
”Ah …” Man Shun who was waiting at the side responded and walked out. Not long later, the tall Sir Gordon walked in with a smile on his face, and without saying anything, he gave Tongzhi a thousand kicks, kneeling on one knee was extremely respectful.
”Long live! Long live! ”Long live!”
”Hahaha …” Her beloved daughter had ascended to the next level! Did you have breakfast? ”Take some with me. Little Cloud Swallow, ham sesame seed cake, Wugu congee and some side dishes are all things that you cannot eat in England!”
Thank you, His Majesty! This subject has been away from Great Qing for a few years and missed this name.
As Zai Chun and Xiao Letian walked further and further away, they naturally got closer and closer to Gordon, the representative of the British side. Although Benjamin stepping down from the stage was already inevitable, Gordon had successfully connected with Gladstone and even brought her good news.
In this way, Gordon would become Zai Chun's beloved daughter, to the point that he could eat with her at the same table.
”Gordon, the cost of construction of the railway is naturally extremely high, but after calculating the cost, it would only be artificial, land expropriation, steel, stone, wood, as well as trains …”
”The Great Qing has manpower, as long as we issue an imperial decree, there will be tens of millions of cortege workers who can use it for free. As for the land expropriation, that is even easier, could it be that we are the kings of this world?”
”As for the sleepers and stones used to build the tracks, I can't even imagine how many there are. Now that I think about it, the only thing that I have to spend money on is the tracks …”
”I plan to build the largest Steel plant in all of Asia in Beijing. I will start from the production of the railway lines, and as long as I can produce my own, the cost of building the rail line will continue to decrease!”
”But which country's technology? ”I have to consider this carefully. The Chinese Steel plant are using American and Prussian technology, so you can't just say it.”
Gordon almost choked on the meat broth in his Soup Dumplings when he heard this. Hail, don't believe the bullshit of second-rate countries... What are America and Prussia? You aren't even fit to carry British Empire shoes! ”
”Britain is the birthplace of the world's Industrial Revolution, so naturally, its steel making technology is the world's number one … ”Don't worry, I guarantee that you will be able to see the most advanced technology today. If anyone dares to lie to His Majesty here, I will definitely not spare him!”
