Ci'an was a little distracted. She had also heard many legendary stories from overseas and the horizon from Master Qing's mouth. Under the guidance of her lover, Ci'an was now very interested in Western styles!
She bought a lot of Western prints, photos, postcards and many oil paintings by famous artists, including antiques and so on!
In particular, the Chinese regularly translate a large number of foreign language books, which is an important channel for her to understand the world!
She knew very well that with her status, it was impossible to leave the Qing Dynasty in her life, and she could not even leave the capital. She could only live in this city until she died!
The more she knew that her fate had been fixed, the more unwilling she became. Everything outside the world was so curious!
Especially the sea! Ci'an had never seen the sea in his life, not to mention the white and soft pure coral sand beaches in Nanyang and Ryukyu, let alone the blue to sapphire-like Pacific Ocean water!
She has never even seen the blue water of the Bohai Sea mixed with countless silt from the Yellow River!
She has never climbed any big mountains. In addition to the eight major mountains in Xiangshan Mountain in the west of Beijing, she has never seen the five mountains in the Central Plains including Huangshan Mountain, Wuyi Mountain, etc.!
People! He just couldn't open his eyes. After she saw a corner of that beautiful thing from many photos and prints, his curiosity would unstoppably expand!
Suddenly, her emotions turned to missing her child. She and Fu Qing had an illegitimate child, a beautiful little daughter, who was currently hiding in the manor in Chengde!
I don’t know how she is now, I don’t know if she has grown taller, I don’t know if I miss her!
Her eyes suddenly turned red, and she quickly wiped them with a handkerchief. The maid next to her whispered, "The Queen Mother...Long Live Lord is here..."
Sure enough, Zai Chun had already gone up the mountain. At the last step, he got off the chariot and walked up by himself. Looking up at Cai Bixia, his heart trembled!
First love is still the most beautiful! And he was a kind person who just helped him plan everything!
"Sister Cai... I've been waiting for a long time... I'm sorry!" Zai Chun took off all the emperor's clothes at this moment and became the young boy studying in Ryukyu who ran around again!
After jumping to the steps in a few steps, he ignored Cai Bixia's outstretched hand and directly opened his arms and rushed over to hug Cai Bixia!
Even Cai Bixia's new school of thought made this little brother blush: "You brat! Stand at attention... take a break!"
"In front of the Queen Mother, you don't have any dignity as an emperor! If you do anything again, I'll give you a slap on the ear!"
The two siblings laughed for a while and walked into Qiwang Tower side by side. Ci'an looked at everything in front of him and really didn't know what to say!
The Eight Immortals tables in the four directions were seated according to ordinary folk dining rules. The Queen Mother was in the main seat, accompanied by Zai Chun and Cai Bixia on the left and right! In front of me are four simple dishes and one soup!
This is not because the Queen Mother is stingy, but because today she is eating on a flowing table! The host and guest can only use three chopsticks for each dish and remove them immediately after use!
There are a total of sixty-eight dishes in the endless stream. Originally, Zai Chun wanted to arrange one hundred and eight dishes, but Ci'an didn't want to be too extravagant and reduced it to sixty-eight dishes!
This is a lot of food for three people! The extravagance and waste of the royal family is evident!
"Sister Cai... Fugui duck slices and peony... try it..."
"This smoked turtle dove is the specialty of the palace... The Queen Mother should use more of it..."
At the banquet, the little emperor finally showed his innocence. After this year of struggle, Zai Chun was under great pressure. Today, he was finally in a happy mood!
Cai Bixia was eating when she suddenly noticed a pair of feet touching her dishonestly under the table! This Zai Chun was really a little pervert. Cai Bixia glared at him fiercely and then pulled his legs back a little!
Ci'an seemed to feel something and smiled unnaturally, "Your Majesty, didn't you still have questions before? Now that the real master is in front of you, why not ask for clarification?"
Zai Chun put down his chopsticks, "Sister Cai... I don't understand. Why can't the Xishan Camp be broken up and rebuilt? Now that we have won a big victory, we might as well pursue the victory... I always feel that the Xishan Camp is a little uneasy!"
Cai Bixia shook his head, "I don't recommend your Majesty to do this! Because the conditions are not mature... His Majesty's ability to force Yi Xin to report illness and go home this time is already a reward beyond expectations!"
"What else do you want? Are you going to push the old guard to the edge and have to rebel? There are 60,000 soldiers in the Xishan Camp! They are not a small force!"
"What you want is reform! Industrialization first... What you want is the power of industrialization!"
"First build up the steel mill in the capital, and repair the railway first. At least there should be a railway from the capital to the Tanggu Special Zone! This will make it very convenient to transfer goods and troops!"
"All this takes time. It will take you three years just to put the preliminary industrial plant here in the capital into production!"
ah! Zai Chun couldn't help but exclaimed, "Three years? This... this is too long!"
Cai Bixia smiled bitterly and said, "Three years is still a long time? Your Majesty, do you know how long it takes to build a steel plant just to build the infrastructure and install various equipment?"
"It takes less than two years from ordering to delivery and installation of a 10,000-ton hydraulic press... A blast furnace cannot be blown out at once!"
"Three years is the minimum! Three years is enough if you can see the red molten steel flowing out..."
"There are also railways... Your only advantage now is that the Chinese have already carried out surveying and surveying in advance, and the route for road construction has already been chosen!"
"But transporting rails, sleepers, stones... including land acquisition and relocating the people can only be done in three years? Don't be too naive..."
Zai Chun lost his appetite all of a sudden. Of course he knew that it would take a long time to build the factory and put it into operation, but he knew that every time he heard the time calculated in years, he became anxious from the bottom of his heart!
After all, he is a young man but he is not calm enough!
Seeing Zai Chun's impatience, Cai Bixia didn't speak but waited quietly. She knew that the most critical moment had come. Zai Chun, the emperor's biggest weakness, was impatience. This was why the head of state made all the plans for her. Core principles!
We must use Zai Chun's impatience to implement the Chinese family's strategic plan!
It took Zai Chun a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "Master... Master, don't you have anything to explain to me?"
Cai Bixia did not answer this question directly, "I advise your Majesty not to act too early in the Xishan Camp! There are all direct descendants of Prince Gong there, and many of them are buried very deep!"
"According to our investigation, not only these officers on the surface, but also many lurkers disguised as soldiers... are also involved in various factions!"
"Why do I suggest that Prince Chun do this reorganization? It is to use his valuable status to suppress these lurkers!"
"He is the oldest among the descendants left by Emperor Daoguang, and he is the only one who can convince the public!"
"As long as he is stable, it will be fine, and then rely on Gordon to train and select a group of people who are close to His Majesty little by little... It is safe to stabilize and then slowly win over him!"
"It will take three years for Xishan Camp to truly be in His Majesty's hands!"
