Sang Yang flicked the end of a silver needle.
Facing Liu Che's confession, his face still showed no expression.
"As a minister, you shouldn't talk too much about Your Majesty's affairs."
"But troubled times are a foregone conclusion. Any compromise will only make it more and more difficult for Your Majesty. I would like to say that your Majesty's current situation is several times worse than that of the late emperor. You should treat it with great dignity."
Sang Yang's words floated in Weiyang Palace.
After finishing speaking, neither Sang Yang nor Liu Che said a word.
Sang Yang continued acupuncture, while Liu Che lay on the soft cushions.
Although his eyes were closed tightly, the eyes that kept moving through his eyelids showed that he was thinking carefully about something at this moment.
——
He only rested in Liaodong Prefecture for two days.
Zhang Qi then set off again to Shanhai City in western Liaoning.
This will become the strategic mobilization headquarters for a long time to come.
And he is the supreme person in charge of everything here.
With him sitting here, other officials and generals can feel confident in their work.
After all, they have to face a country dozens of times their size.
Big man.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"."
Along the way, we arrived at the main palace of Shanhai City. There were officials and counselors everywhere who saw Zhang Qi and their confidence increased sharply.
Wearing a general's robe, Zhang Qiye nodded to them one by one.
Arrive at the City Lord's Mansion.
Zhang Qi met almost all the officials of the city lord's palace.
Although the time spent meeting each person is often just one or two sentences.
But just these two sentences gave the entire Shanhai City City Lord's Mansion a completely different look from the past.
It's like there is a solid arm in everyone's heart, giving them something to rely on.
noon.
The meal was eaten in the large dining hall, and all the officials of the city lord's palace were there.
Zhang Qi picked up the cup, and the purple grape juice in the cup was swaying with ripples.
"Gentlemen! Next is the best stage to show the results of the reforms and efforts we have accepted over the past few years."
"I hope you will work hard and overcome every difficulty you encounter without fear of hardship."
"Everyone can see the changes in Liaoning, Changchun, and Liaodi in the past few years. Their changes prove that our path is correct."
"Under the gaze of the gods, we will spread this to every piece of land in the Han Dynasty!"
"For this beautiful world, and for those people who are still being oppressed, bring the fire of civilization spread by our great Father God!"
Zhang Qi raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp.
The law stipulated that no official should drink alcohol during government affairs. Even Zhang Qi followed this by example, so there was no alcohol in the canteen. Instead, there were various juices and teas.
"For the king! For the gods! For the people!"
In the large dining hall, all the officials raised their glasses and paid tribute to Zhang Qi.
How much of this is sincere? Zhang Qi dares to pat his chest and guarantee that it is 99.9%.
Because they are no better than officials of any era.
They carry a yoke from faith,
And under this belief is Zhang Qi's real miracle that is obvious to all.
They firmly believe it.
There is this life and there is an afterlife.
The effects of the next life are all caused by the causes of this life.
This point is unmatched by any advanced Zhengzhi system.
The only one who can control your own heart is yourself.
Zhang Qi is walking a road that no one has ever walked before, but he has the support that no one has ever had.
afternoon.
City Lord's Office.
There were two desks here instead of one before.
Zhang Qi also moved here.
Hu Ling, on the other hand, was sitting at another desk nearby.
"Your Majesty, these are the things that have been accumulated over the past few months that I cannot make a judgment on."
Holding a stack of thin papers, Hu Ling placed them on the table in front of Zhang Qi.
Nodding, Zhang Qi picked up one and started reading.
"Seventeen gold, silver, copper and iron ores have been discovered in Yin County, and gold and silver production has increased dramatically. This is a good thing."
"Oh, the transportation of iron ore and copper ore raw materials consumes too much transportation capacity. What Hu Qi means in his words is that he wants to set up a blast furnace in Jianyin County."
"Haha, it's cautious enough, but it's too cautious. Just pass. This is also a good thing. It can reduce the pressure on Changchun and Liaoning."
Zhang Qi looked at the careful wording on the memorial paper and laughed. He took out a pen fastened to his chest and approved it, then stamped his seal.
"Speaking of steel, we really need a lot of minerals next, Hu Ling."
"exist,"
"Let's arrange for Liu Perun to come to Shanhai City. I have a task to give to the Navy and Marine Products Department."
"promise."
Plans for the railway have already begun.
For a long time, Zhang Qi's demand for steel increased day by day.
China has a vast territory and rich resources, so there are naturally a lot of mineral deposits, but now the Han Dynasty has not yet entered the Western Mountains at dusk, and Zhang Qi's hands cannot freely fiddle with the chaotic Han land.
exactly.
As a person of later generations, he naturally knows where in the world the high-quality iron ore is produced. Although China does not lack mineral deposits, the quality is not very good. If those high-quality mineral deposits can be developed overseas, this will have a great impact on Zhang Qi's future development. It is also very beneficial.
But now that Zhang Qi has no shortage of big ships, the only thing that can restrain him is manpower.
Australia, Brazil.
The iron mines in these two places could be said to have monopolized the entire world in later generations.
Zhang Qi will naturally not let it go.
Although the overseas immigration plan has only been promoted a little now, only the foot basin island has been brought under the rule and the name has been changed to Miyin County.
But just pushing a little doesn't mean they only know a little about the world.
With the development of the whaling industry.
The completeness of the nautical charts in the Marine Products Division is also improving day by day.
From the beginning of North and South America to today's oceanic islands, the ocean territory laid out by Zhang Qi is getting bigger day by day.
That's fine.
Now, selecting some high-quality allies or subordinate nations in the world can also pave the way for future global unification.
"Brazil."
Zhang Qi pinched his chin: "Let's start in Mexico. There are a lot of indigenous people there, as well as the Mayans. It's time for Liu Perun to take his wife back to her parents' home to visit."
"As for Australia."
"Now that Jian Yinjun is in control, we will use Jian Yinjun, Baodao, the Philippines, and Indonesia to establish ocean supply stations for the island chain route to Australia."
"These places also happen to be densely populated areas, so there is no need to look elsewhere for miners."
"ha."
"The country has not been unified yet, so the only people who prioritize overseas development are people like me who are cheating."
"Tsk, tsk, we need to put more pressure on the people in the Kingdom of God. Let the steam engine come out as soon as possible."
After writing down some thoughts on a piece of paper, Zhang Qi devoted himself to busy internal affairs.
According to the schedule, he would also go to visit Huben and Yingcheng troops tomorrow, which was also very busy.
