"My minister Li Zhen bowed to the emperor." Li Zhen knelt on the ground.

"Please sit and talk." Guan Xuqing said with his eyes closed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Zhen sat opposite Guan Xuqing, lowering his head.

"The Ministry of Revenue's errands are done well, and the province has saved all the money." Guan Xuqing has always been paying attention to Li Zhen's performance in the Ministry of Revenue.

"I thank the emperor for his praise. I think it's not enough. Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't have cut off troops because he had no money." Li Zhen said guiltily.

"Haha, I'm not laying them off because I want to save those few dollars. It's better to raise a group of dogs and give them guns, and they also exchanged them for silver and drink and go shopping in the kilns. The enemy came over and all of them hid. What's the use of such an army?" Guan Xuqing stood up and shouted.

"The Emperor's Holy Ming" Li Zhen also stood up.

Guan Xuqing waved, signaling him to sit down, and lying on the chair and continued, "I asked Zuo Zongtang to form an army, and I would inevitably ask for money. I want to build the most powerful force in the world. Now our Qing Dynasty does not have the ability to create the best guns and cannons by itself, so we can only rely on buying foreigners."

"Your Majesty, these foreign guns and cannons are very expensive," Li Zhen replied hurriedly.

"That's why I called you here. Let's put it together to see if we squeeze out some points from there." Guan Xuqing continued with his eyes narrowed.

"Li Hongzhang set up a Shanghai weaving layout a few days ago, and the sales were very good. I think the people should be encouraged to set up such factories by themselves. After the Opium War, a large number of foreigners' things poured into the Qing Dynasty market. Those things were indeed much better than our Qing Dynasty, which led to many merchants who had no way to survive. The country had no taxes. Now foreigners have them, and I can also build them. To encourage the people to go to business, we should not compete with the people for profit. Western powers do not use business to enrich the country, but arm themselves with strong industries, so should the Qing Dynasty. Only when business is prosperous can the silver from the Qing Dynasty come rolling in." Li Zhen said.

"That's right, the road has to be taken step by step. Let's do what you said. But now the army is reorganized and the money is about to be paid. Now it's not the Imperial Army that I formed 500 people. It's a 500,000 people." Guan Xuqing said slowly.

"..." Li Zhen was speechless. He cursed in his heart: Even if you make me greedy, I have no place to greed for so much money.

"Come on, I'll give you an idea," Guan Xuqing said suddenly with his eyes open.

"Please make it clear." Li Zhen also

Chaos Rebirth is the king of another world http://www.77nt/23488/ was a burst of excitement, and this little emperor had the most ideas.

"Encouraging private factories to be implemented immediately, this will not cost the imperial court much money. Next year, we will see results. In addition, we will set up our own bank for the Qing Dynasty immediately, so that we can collect free private funds. We can also issue some treasury bonds, which will be limited to three years. Give two cents of profit, and I will borrow from them. When the business prospers and the country is rich, we will return it to them." Guan Xuqing said with a smile.

"Treasury bonds? Can the people lend us?" Li Zhen said in confusion.

"Now there are many bandits, and it is not safe to keep the money by your side. Besides, there are still many rich people in the Qing Dynasty, Jiangsu and Zhejiang generation. If you give me two points of profit, will they not buy it? In this way, I will give you a lead. This year, the expenses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be reduced by half, and the saved money will be bought by the government bonds. I will be your first customer. Then I will send it to various provinces and let the officials of the court buy it first. I will take the lead in buying it, but if I don't believe it, they will not buy it." Guan Xuqing shook his head and replied.

"The emperor is really a strange person! Such a good plan is really wonderful, it's amazing! How many national debts will be issued by the emperor?" Li Zhen asked.

"Well, the national treasury still has about 10 million taels of silver now. At least another 30 million taels are paid, and all those who buy are accepted will be accepted as ordered." Guan Xu said as he settled.

"Zha" Li Zhen replied.

"I'll report to the emperor and Li Hongzhang asked for a visit." Wang Shang came in and said.

"Oh? He's here, let's ask him to come in." Guan Xuqing said.

"Zha" Wang Shang stood up and retreated.

"Then I will avoid it first." Li Zhen said.

"No need, let's listen to what he said." Guan Xuqing said.

After a while, Li Hongzhang walked to Guan Xuqing and leaned on the ground: "I bow to the emperor."

"Let's go flat." Guan Xuqing said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Hongzhang stood up.

"Li Zhongtang, is there anything wrong with the Military Department?" Guan Xuqing asked.

"Return to the emperor, last year, I purchased two ironclad ships from the British Armstrong Shipyard through the British tax department through Hurd, a British man from the General Taxation Department. Now the two ships have been built and are ready to return to China today. But..." Li Hongzhang said.

Guan Xuqing's eyes shining and said, "Has it been built? Are they the Chaoyong and Yang Wei? The maximum speed can reach 16 nautical miles per hour. It is the fastest ironclad ship in the Qing Dynasty. Let them come back quickly and enter the Nanyang Navy."

Li Hongzhang looked embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "But, the emperor, the ministers of Japan and France put pressure on Britain at the same time, saying that they could not favor one or the other, and that Japan also wanted two of the same warships. But they were unwilling to wait for another year, and they actually launched two of our two ships... So..."

Guan Xuqing heard this and wanted to curse her, what? The little Japanese doesn't take us seriously now??

"You are the Minister of the Westernization, so let's leave this matter to you when you negotiate with foreigners. The British must not ignore international credibility. Can you take back what has been sold to me in the Qing Dynasty? He wants to buy it in Japan and let the British find a way for themselves. I will let you get Chaoyong and Yang Wei back within a month." Guan Xuqing said angrily.

"But... Emperor, France has a fleet on the English Channel. I am afraid that the two warships will be destroyed by the French as soon as they leave the Armstrong Shipyard." Li Hongzhang said worriedly.

"Okay, the French decided to be an enemy of our Qing Dynasty for the sake of Japan?" Guan Xuqing said angrily.

"Li Hongzhang, you go and negotiate with the UK. The UK is responsible for transporting two ironclad ships back to my Mawei Shipyard. Provide technical training to help train my officers and soldiers of the Qingshui Division. In two days, I will ask Li Zhen to allocate 10 million taels of silver to you. I tell you that the silver must be used on the edge of the knife. If anyone dares to make the idea of ​​this silver, I will not kill anyone." Guan Xuqing gritted his teeth.

Guan Xuqing said, the former company commander of the first youth battalion, Zhang Yu, the current commander of the Imperial Guard, raised his gun to Li Hongzhang in time.

"Zhang Yu, what are you doing? Put down the gun, this is my important minister." Guan Xuqing said dissatisfied.

"Zha" Zhang Yu immediately put down his gun and retreated to the back.

Li Hongzhang had seen these people with his own eyes. At that time, one hundred people solved nearly three hundred imperial guards in one stick of incense. Their combat power was so powerful that it could be called terrifying.

"I dare not, I must use the silver on the blade." Li Hongzhang knelt down and said.
