Zai Chun looked at Cai Bixia in disbelief. He suddenly found that the familiar woman in front of him had become so strange!
A sense of distance suddenly appeared. I originally thought that the master and myself were close allies, joining forces to fight against the conservative forces and promote the industrialization process of the Qing Dynasty together!
When the time comes, we will share the profits and benefits together when the country becomes strong. If we have money and rights, we will share it together!
But at this moment, he realized how naive he was. It turned out that the Chinese, like other great powers, all wanted to take advantage and would not let go of the eagle before they saw the rabbit!
The airship flew so smoothly last night, and the power displayed made everyone unbelievable. It is precisely because of this that it gave the Chinese the confidence to increase the price!
There is no master-disciple relationship, no sister-brother relationship, let alone the friendship that we have worked together for five years!
On the negotiating table, there are only national interests. In Cai Bixia's eyes, if we get an extra two million taels for the Chinese, there will not be a copper less!
It turns out that this world is so realistic and cruel!
Cai Bixia also looked at Zai Chun calmly and thought to herself, brother! Don't blame me, let alone the head of state, you and I are not from the same world, we have our own interests!
If I negotiate an extra two million taels of silver, the Chinese will be able to study in two more universities and more than ten junior high schools and high schools!
Our scholarships are enough for three years!
No matter how rich the Chinese people are, they will not be dissatisfied with those who have little money. There are too many places to use money when everything is busy!
On the road to the rise of a nation, there is no mercy. Little brother, my sister will teach you another lesson today. You have to take care of yourself in the future!
Zai Chun closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, he had lost all the complaints and unwillingness in his heart!
"Special Envoy Cai... I already know your quotation today. This business is too big to be decided today!"
"As you just said... we still have time, and negotiations between countries cannot be rushed! You can go back and rest today!"
"Er Mao... I'll send one to Special Envoy Cai!"
Zeng Guofan and other old ministers couldn't help but glance at the young emperor. These old and mature ministers all saw the calmness and distance in Zaichun's eyes at this moment!
When he first met Cai Bixia, Zai Chun's eyes were hot and passionate, but now he is just calm!
People always have to mature, and one of the most important psychological signs is to be able to completely get rid of the control of the fantasy complex of first love!
From a boy to a man, everything is smooth sailing. If he doesn't stumble a few times and suffer a lot from women, he won't mature!
Cai Bixia looked at Zeng Guofan, Prince Chun and other officials with inquiring eyes. After discovering that these people really had no intention of asking questions, Cai Bixia gave a military salute to the emperor and the ministers present, and turned around, accompanied by Er Mao. Left the Gate of Supreme Harmony!
Not far away, these ministers hurriedly asked the little emperor, "Your Majesty! You don't really want to buy Xiao Letian's battleships and airships! He is obviously trying to blackmail our Qing Dynasty!"
"That's right, Your Majesty, you must be careful not to be fooled! Although the imperial court's finances have recovered somewhat, they are still not enough... Last month's flag pay was only 80% paid!"
"That's right, that's right... let's not talk about the flag pay. It doesn't matter if we spend less, but the capital camp head really needs to replace it with foreign guns and cannons!"
"Last night, our children were asked to fight the enemy with swords and spears... I'm blushing just thinking about it now!"
Zai Chun couldn't help but feel annoyed as he listened to the nagging of these people: "Dismiss the court! Today's discussion is almost done, let's all dismiss the court..."
"Long live..." Some of the indifferent courtiers continued to ask questions, which angered the little emperor!
"Hei, Hei, Hei... Don't I know that the arms of the Chinese people are dark? But what can I do? You have always been a constraint on my industrial plans!"
Zai Chun roared loudly, "In this world, if you fail to live up to your expectations and cannot produce, do you blame others? Who makes us fail to live up to our expectations?"
"As long as we have a few arsenals in the Qing Dynasty, we won't be so stuck!"
"When you originally opposed my industrial reform plan, did you ever think about the massacre last night? Did you ever think that our officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty would one day be slaughtered like cattle and sheep?"
"Have you ever thought about it! When you initially opposed it, did you ever think about today? Tell me!"
Zai Chun's voice was so loud that the glazed tiles on the Taihe Gate shook. All the ministers present could not stand and collectively knelt on the ground, "Long live your anger! I await the death penalty!"
"Fart! I don't want you to die, I don't want you to die, I want you to build me foreign guns and cannons! Build me airships, build me battleships!"
"Aren't you old-schoolers? Don't you all oppose this and that?"
"Yixuan! Make me a foreign gun, now!"
"Yikuan, come here... In three months, you can build an airship for me!"
"Where's Shi Duo... you build me a battleship! Everyone, go!"
"Who wants you to die? I don't want you to die. If you want to die, it will be easier for you... What I want is strong ships and powerful cannons, and what I want is a rich country and strong soldiers!"
"Stop talking nonsense, bring something out, bring something out for me!"
This round of scolding caused everyone who was named to have their foreheads hit on the stone slab and became black and blue, but they did not dare to refute the emperor's words at all!
Zai Chun was so angry that he was trembling all over. He pointed his trembling fingers at the kowtow bugs and was speechless for a long time. "You...you guys... go out and take a good look at the funerals of those who died in the war!"
"Take a good look at the grieving families of those soldiers who died last night! Think about it carefully, will we still be like this in the future of the Qing Dynasty? Use flesh and blood to resist other people's steel?"
"If you think this is good...then next time, I will send your nephew to go to the battlefield in person!"
"Haha, don't blame me for being ruthless and ruthless when the time comes... Sanchao!"
The threats were so frightening that the backs of all the officials present were wet. At this moment, they seemed to have seen the resurrection of Emperor Yongzheng. According to legends from generations of old people, when Emperor Yongzheng was in power, the atmosphere in the officialdom of the capital was very terrifying!
A strong emperor is really difficult to serve. It seems that Zai Chun can do what he says. If I push him to that point, Zai Chun will most likely capture Baiguan's nephew as a hostage and send him to the battlefield!
Forget it, now that the little emperor has reversed the situation and gained the upper hand, no one should be foolish enough to fight with him, just go with it for now!
The ministers didn't dare to get up from the ground until they could no longer see the little emperor's heels. They patted the ashes on their knees and then they felt the hunger in their stomachs!
I didn't have time to eat breakfast, so I drank a few cups of ginseng soup in the morning. Marshal Zeng had the privilege to sit down, while others still stood and set the rules!
Now that the morning is finally over, people’s stomachs are starting to growl!
Normally, if there is an opportunity like this for people to gather together without eating and feel collectively hungry, then they must have thought of having a good time together and going to a restaurant together!
But not today, no one dares to say this!
Even though His Majesty is so angry, are you still in the mood to drink and dine? Just wait for your head to fall off!
More importantly, the whole city of the capital was shaken today. How many restaurants would be open? Has the smell of blood at the door been washed away?
"This Xiao Letian who killed a thousand swords! It's all because of him that we don't have a good life! Bastard..."
"No! We can't give them such an advantage, we must let them see the anger of my Qing Dynasty!"
Among the officials, Weng Tonghe stared with hatred in the distance, in the direction where Cai Bixia left!
