Cixi in this era has not experienced the feeling of monopolizing power, so she is not as arrogant and dissatisfied as Xiao Letian in his previous life!
At this time, Cixi already felt that her life had reached its peak. Her biological son finally got married and took office. As soon as he came to power, he tripped up his biggest political opponent. This is such a cool thing!
The rising tide lifts all boats, and of course she, the mother-in-law, will follow suit to show off her power. Look at this period of time, Ci'an didn't come to the Forbidden City at all, and was just recuperating in Beiyuan!
Moreover, during Cixi's wedding, Zai Chun tolerated the humiliation of Empress Arut and did not fall out with her mother. Cixi was a little worried at first, but later she saw that Arut had moved to Yangxin Hall and she did not dare to do so. Tail up!
All aspects contributed to her arrogance. At this time, she was the most arrogant and ignorant!
As soon as she heard that Isiha was not guilty of the affair, her mind immediately brightened!
"Your Majesty is just fooling around. How could you just casually send Ouchi's bodyguard to watch the funeral? He's a good person and there's nothing wrong with him. Take me to see Your Majesty!"
"Ah?" Li Lianying's face turned pale. "Queen Mother...how can we go here? Don't be impulsive. Oh, please wait for me..."
From ancient times to the present, if this woman falls in love, her IQ will basically be lowered. Of course, Cixi cannot be said to have fallen in love with Isiha, but don't forget that this is when the novelty between them has not faded, and it is the time when they are sticky. Woolen cloth!
Even if she is greedy for Yisiha's body, this Cixi must be saved!
In Cixi's heart, if a mother-in-law asks her son for a bodyguard, shouldn't she be given one? How could this be dismissed with such little face? Didn't Zai Chun say nothing when he punished his daughter-in-law to kneel all night?
Regardless of Li Lianying's dissuasion, Cixi went to see Emperor Tongzhi before turning on the lamp. At this time, Emperor Tongzhi of Yangxin Hall was watching the hot samples sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs!
The Xiangxianglei family has always designed gardens for the royal family. Now that they have no gardens to build for them, they cannot abandon their craftsmanship. Zaichun had previously ordered the Xiangxianglei family to produce a batch of high-precision sand tables from the Gyeonggi region.
At the same time, there are also hot samples from the large iron works. Now the first batch of hot samples have been sent in. Zai Chunzheng and his confidants looked at this huge sand table with interest, which recreated the terrain of the northern suburbs of the capital. Carved out.
Qing Sanye pointed at the sand table with a wooden stick and said, "Look, Your Majesty, this is Deshengmen, Andingmen, Old Summer Palace is here, Xiangshan, Yuquan Mountain, Qinghe... This is what our future iron factory will look like..."
"Blast furnaces, coking plants, slag yards... workshops, factory buildings... along the upper reaches of the Qinghe River is a large residential area. Your Majesty, if you look to the north, this is Shunyi, Changping, and the city walls all the way to the edge. This It’s the Great Wall…”
"According to the current progress, the engineers who have come to support us have promised to refine the first furnace of steel for His Majesty in two years, and the train between Tianjin and our capital will be open to traffic in three years!"
Zai Chun's eyes lit up as he looked at the fine mountains and rivers on the sand table, the dense forests and villages, and the Jingshi Iron and Steel Plant occupying the best position in the northern suburbs of the capital. He rubbed his hands in excitement!
"Can it be done faster? I can't wait any longer. If I can afford the reward, can it be done a year and a half earlier?"
Lord Baojun smiled at the side and said, "Your Majesty, don't be so impatient. It can be completed in two years. This is already an efficiency that I would never imagine. Do you want to go any faster? It's impossible..."
Zai Chun raised his head and glanced at him with a smile, "Master Baojun, I'm afraid you don't know something... The Chinese people have another way of tracking the progress of the project!"
"Go back and tell the Chinese support engineers! Stop secretly hiding the cement quota! Continue to increase the amount of concrete used in my project!"
"With the development of the Chinese people, the most effective way to improve the efficiency of projects is to promote cement on a large scale. In the south, it is called cement... We still use blue bricks to pave roads. When building houses with red bricks, people fill them directly with concrete. !”
"Our wood has to be processed by carpenters and even needs to be dried. Others tie steel bars into a cylinder and then fill it with cement directly and wait for it to solidify!"
"To the north of Tanggu Special Economic Zone...it's close to Tangshan and Kaiping and goes directly to Luanzhou. Chinese businessmen have invested in many cement plants. The entire sky there has been covered with dust. It doesn't look like a human scene!"
"This is a very important factor in their excellent construction projects! As long as they can grab the cement quota, our projects can also be accelerated!"
Fu Qing's subordinate Shi Shan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know. This cement quota is really hard to grab! Nowadays, the Chinese are building a lot of construction projects in our concession in the Qing Dynasty, and various places have begun to select sites to build cement plants!"
"Some areas are not suitable for building cement plants, so you can only rely on transportation from outside! The supply of cement in Tangshan exceeds demand. On the one hand, it needs to be sold in large quantities to the south, but on the other hand, it is even more terrifying!"
Shi Shui added on the side, "Yes, what's even more frightening is that a large number of talents are being drained! Cement burning is also a technical job. Factories are to be built in the south, Luzon and Borneo in Southeast Asia. How many technical talents have been drained by the head of state. gone!"
"Without technical talents, the cement factories in Tangshan area will not be able to expand their production capacity!"
"Your Majesty! Now you are the only one with good face... Why don't you write a letter to the head of state? And strive for a quota of tens of thousands of tons of cement. If you get enough cement, the progress will be faster!"
Baojun and other veterans were dumbfounded. Who knew there were so many twists and turns? They all kept sighing in surprise, "Oh... I really learned a lot today. So it's still like this?"
Zai Chun laughed and cursed a few words angrily, "I have to do everything myself? I'm raising you to live in vain! Hey... I have no choice but to sacrifice my face and send a telegram to the master!"
"Your Majesty! Don't just ask for quotas. Ask the president to ask for a group of engineers. We also have to burn cement and build factories..." Fu Qing reminded from the side.
"Damn it, I still don't know what talent I need? I need you to remind me..."
Just when the monarchs and ministers were laughing and arguing in a peaceful atmosphere, Da Sixi suddenly walked in with an awkward smile, "Your Majesty... the Queen Mother has arrived and said she wants to see Your Majesty!"
Before Zaichun could say anything, Cixi had already barged in carelessly. The ministers in Xinan Pavilion were so shocked that they knelt down and kowtowed in greeting!
Cixi's behavior was actually very unruly. There were differences between the inside and outside of the Manchu harem, and men and women had always been very particular about their defense!
Otherwise, how could we listen to politics behind a curtain? It’s just that the women in the harem are not allowed to show up in public and meet the ministers of the previous dynasty all the time!
Even if you want to meet, you have to make plans in advance. You won’t just barge in without saying anything!
Fortunately, Cixi has been promoted to the Queen Mother, and her son has also married and become a mother-in-law. According to the etiquette and rules of the time, a woman who is a mother-in-law still has some privileges to relax!
"Okay... stop kneeling, what are you talking about? It's so lively..."
