After the court was dispersed the next day, through Zhenfei's cousin, Zhirui, who served as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, I summoned Zhang Jian, who lived in Fayuan Temple. Zhang was summoned by the emperor as a single person, and naturally became frightened.

I know that he is saving the country by industrial industry, but I am very curious that he had had a grudge and affection with Yuan Shikai, so I naturally asked.

It turns out that the reason why Yuan was so popular in the army was originally because of Zhang Jian's recommendation in front of Wu Changqing. However, after Yuan became famous, he turned against others and betrayed Wu Changqing. After Wu Changqing died, although Yuan missed Zhang Jian's friendship with half of his teacher back then and did not do anything to Zhang. However, Zhang, a scholar, naturally looked down on Yuan Shikai, who had only climbed up, so he took advantage of Weng Tonghe's birthday to come to Beijing to find opportunities.

When asked about his opinion on the situation in North Korea, Zhang Jian was a hardliner. He said that he had submitted the "Six Strategies for the Aftermath of North Korea" in the eighth year of Guangxu, and advocated the abolition of North Korea as a county or the establishment of a state supervising state, etc. I smiled and said, "Your view is quite similar to Yuan Shikai. When you hear your words, it seems that you are very depressed. Hoho, you are still young, what are your plans?"

Zhang Jian replied: "When the emperor gets the court again, I will be the top scorer in the exam."

I smiled and said, "What if I win the top scorer? But if I go to Hanlin Academy, what's the use of my country and myself? Zhang Qing, I am about to carry out major events that have not been seen in ancient and modern times to deal with these changes that have not been seen in ancient and modern times. If you have great talents, why should you stick to the eight-legged essay? I am not afraid to tell you, and you don't have to wait for any kind of et al. If I still have a kindred essay in the future, it is still an uncertain number. The eight-legged essays will be selected and the talents selected seem to be unable to cope with the changes that have not been encountered in the past."

Zhang Jian was shocked. What I said was a major change in the country's national policy. For a person like him who worked hard to seek fame and fortune, he was naturally shocked and inexplicably. I asked him again: "Is Zhang Qing interested in starting an industry?"

"The emperor means..." Zhang Jian looked at me hesitantly.

I pointed to the bell beside me and said, "Can we not create these foreign things in China? Daily necessities, industrial needs, and everything is in vain, Zhang Qing. I intend to encourage the people to build industry. What do Zhang Qing have any ideas?"

"Emperor, I... still want to win the top scorer first..." Zhang Jian was very stubborn.

I smiled and said, "If you want the top scorer, I will give you a top scorer tomorrow? What I want is not you, the top scorer, but you, an industrialist, understand? If Zhang Qing started an industry and brought out hundreds or thousands of Zhang Qings in China, wouldn't it be my blessing for China? Compared with one top scorer, who can promote China?"

Zhang Jian hesitated, but my thoughts were fluctuating and it was difficult to calm down. How difficult it was for this person to change. Zhang Jian became the leader of the country after the Reign of Wuxia. However, he was still immersed in the dream of returning home in glory. Alas... Although he was persuaded by me to agree to go back to start an industry, I guess if I held the imperial examination one day, he would still come...

I shook my head and called Kou Lian to say, "Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get 5,000 taels of silver, catch up with Zhang Jian just now, just say it is the principal I gave him."

In the afternoon, Shanqi and Liu Guangdi arrived one after another. They looked at each other and were very shy. Shanqi had already formulated the business charter for the Qing Dynasty government office and all expenses and other expenses, and was engaged in secret tracking, investigation, and evidence collection. I took it over and looked at it, and listened to what I said to Shanqi yesterday to Liu Guangdi.

Liu Guangdi became more and more excited as he listened. It was not until after I finished reading that I gave Shanqi's Tiaochen to him that I gradually calmed down and looked at it carefully, sometimes excited and sometimes frowned, as if I was watching it very seriously.

I discussed the funding matters with Shanqi. Shanqi did not agree with me to pay the money from the treasury and said that this matter should be allocated by the Ministry of Revenue. I think it makes sense. Although the house was confiscated and made some money, it was too expensive recently and it was time to save some money. Cixi's Summer Palace has been completed and there is no pressure to build a garden. This matter can be done like this, but it must be hidden from Weng Tonghe. This matter is a secret job and must be done in a special name.

"It's less..." Liu Guangdi suddenly said.

Shanqi and I looked at each other and smiled and said, "What are Liu Aiqing saying less?"

"There are fewer methods and fewer goals. I am afraid and say nothing, so I would like to forgive you." Liu Guang turned red on the ground and he was about to kneel down.

I shook my hand and said, "What you said makes sense. I will transfer you to Prince Su's command to do this Qing government affairs. Are you willing?"

Liu Guangdi glanced at Shanqi and said, "I am willing to serve the emperor and the prince."

I smiled and said, "Since that's the case, you can divide the labor like this. Shanqi, you are the prince, so you are responsible for logistics supply, contacting me, etc. Liu Guangdi, you are responsible for recruitment and training of personnel. As for future actions, you will consult me ​​and ask me for instructions. I will say first. Officials above the third rank must be approved by me before they can act. Do you understand?"

The two of them knelt down to receive the order. I nodded with satisfaction and said, "At the end of this year, the yamen will be established and the site has been selected. I will write your name and send it to you."

"Thank you for your grace," the two of them received the order.

I smiled again and said, "I'm not busy thanking you. The first thing I want you to do is to check Ronglu for me. But don't be wrong. I don't want to do him, but to use him. If you leak the news, don't come back to see me."

The two looked at each other and exchanged glances. I knew what they were thinking, so I said, "Don't think that I don't have the grace of using people. I really want to give Ronglu a huge job. I don't want him to ruin things for me. Go, I don't doubt you if I use you to do this big thing." Haha, as for whether they believe it or not, they don't know, but the head of this secret agency must make them feel alert, otherwise it would not be a good thing if they don't lose their stamina.

After completing this big event, the military revitalization and education reform that I originally planned have been laid out. When will I gain something, I think I can see some small progress at the end of this year. At least, one good thing is that Li Hongzhang wrote a note and said that the joint venture shipyard between the Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Bureau and the Armstrong Shipyard has been opened, and the British personnel and funds have been in place. I would like to ask me to write a shipyard name.

The British side also agreed to add the word "Royal" in front of the shipyard, so I happily picked up the pen and wrote a banner from the Royal Armstrong Shipyard of the Qing Dynasty, and asked someone to send it to Jiangnan.
Chapter completed!
