Ci Xi only needed to engage in internal strife to become a born warrior, but as long as it involved Western knowledge, he would immediately transform into an ignorant, foolish woman!
The railway had long become a weapon used by the Europeans. Prussia had defeated the two great powers, the Austria and the France, and they relied on the developed railway network the most!
The industrial development of Germany also relies on the support of railways to make resources and commodities flow!
At this moment, Xiao Letian and Bismark were even researching the construction of the Eurasian railway bridge. One of the two big shots of the nineteenth century was in the east while the other was in the west.
What a bold investment, a grand strategy destined to change the global geopolitical landscape!
However, in this era of great change, the Qing Dynasty was still considering Feng Shui, the tomb of their ancestors. The civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty, as well as the gentry of the commoners, actually rejected the railway as the first reason?
”Feng Shui, Feng Shui, or Feng Shui …” This Feng Shui is so good, why can't it stop the foreign devils? ”
”Mother, don't say anymore, I have already taken the British's money. If I were to go back on my word, I'm afraid that it will be the next time I enter the capital!”
”Do you want the railway or the war? Pick one yourself! ”
”This son does not wish to become the ruler of a destroyed nation! And I don't want to be your puppet... The empress must personally choose my wedding! ”
”No matter who you recommended, bring it to me so I can see for myself. Only with a nod will I be able to establish myself as a queen!”
”Your son is tired, so I will take my leave first …”
Zai Chun and Ci Xi had already wasted about four hours, and after half a day, they still had not done anything but listen to the woman's nagging. Today, Zai Chun still had to go to the North City to study.
”Gone, gone …” Zai Chun bowed to his mother, then ran off without caring about Ci Xi recruiting from behind.
”This child is so infuriating …” ”I'm so angry …” Ci Xi sat on the chair and sulked. Not long later, Li Lianying walked in and immediately patted the empress dowager's back.
”Empress Dowager, calm down …” Since the emperor is old and has his own ideas, isn't this a good thing? ”
”What a fart!” How old is he? What does he know about governing a country? Can he do this without my support? ” Ci Xi said indignantly.
”Why is this child so stubborn?” Why do you think he's so stubborn? ”
”Esteemed Empress Dowager, this servant's hometown has a common country saying called … Stubborn fellow, you won't lose! ”Young people being bold is a good thing. Majesty, you have to think of something …”
Ci Xi's complexion improved a bit and he let out a long sigh. I really can't change him. From the looks of it, he still needs to personally see these alternative girls. ”
”How can there be such a rule? Even one's own mother can't decide on the marriage of a child? If the news were to spread, wouldn't those Chinese Gui Chen s die of laughter? ”
”There's nothing to talk about. They say that our Manchu doesn't know etiquette, and yet they still rush over to give them the facts. Ai …”
Li Lianying poured a cup of tea for the empress dowager and said, ”Calm down …” Wasn't the Emperor only like this because the Beiyuan had someone he could rely on? knows that if one fails, there will be another, if two fail, we can find another twenty, so he is not in a hurry! ”
”Empress Dowager, don't be angry. Isha is on duty today. I'll have him come in and serve …”
