C3529 "What I want is to be honest."

As long as the money was in place, there was nothing that could not be done. Under the constant toil of the craftsmen who were like flowing water, the backyard of the Dao Tai Palace had expanded to twice its original size, and in the beautiful southern courtyard, there was a spacious hall that faced south, it was Zai Chun's temporary temporary palace.

Outside the palace was a bunch of chrysanthemum nurseries. The Double Sun Festival was a good day to admire the chrysanthemums, and the osmanthus flowers in the courtyard were also blooming. The fragrance wafted into the main hall along with the breeze, refreshing everyone's hearts.

The beautiful scenery here was exactly the perfect time to admire the flowers on the moon, to drink and write poems, and even the dozens of people from the Jiang South America s in the garden were all good at tutoring, waiting for the His Majesty to appreciate the beauties. However, the beautiful scenery was terrible, all the beauties could only hear the low roars coming from the palace, wave after wave of rage, causing the young lady's face to turn pale.

Man Shun led the eunuchs and waved at the beauties, "Retreat …" All retreat... Is this where you can stay? His Majesty is talking about important matters, and you guys actually dare to eavesdrop in the courtyard?

"Just like this, you guys have no rules. If you stay in the Forbidden City, you won't live past half a month …" "Step back!"

Tongzhi's personal eunuch and his most loyal New Imperial Army began to take over the defense of the garden.

"Hehe …" Wealth? Hai Yanhe? Fifth Uncle, your nephew just returned back home and you're trying to scam me? "

"Why didn't you report the drought in the three prefectures and seven counties of Henan? With the war situation in the Northwest, even Zuo Jigao is unable to raise military expenditures, why don't you say so? "

"Before I left for Europa, I told the imperial government to let all the ministries study the industrialization of my Great Qing …" Have you guys made this plan yet? "

When I was not at home, other than the Great Qing who built a Mawei Shipyard and Zuo Jigao who built a Lanzhou Mechanical Bureau, what else did you do?

"Don't mention Zhenjiang and the special districts of Changzhou... Are there any heavy industries other than a few reeling and textile mills? "

"Besides, even if Zhenjiang and Jiangnan District of Changzhou have some achievements, is it because of that senior official of the imperial government?" Wasn't it caused by the effort of the Great Marshal Zeng? What's the use of you mentioning this? "

This meeting of the nine suns was already extremely heated from the very beginning, Prince Chun was reprimanded by his nephew until his face was completely red!

Amongst the group that received the carriage, the Prince Chun was the most noble one. He had to be the first to answer Tongzhi's question just now, no one could go past him.

However, this Lord Fifth was still fawning on those useless official essays from the Grand Commission s of the Forbidden City. He first praised them, then sang the praises.

All these years, he had gotten used to the Chinese way of doing things. All the orders that were passed down were detailed and brief, and the moment he started, he immediately went straight to the point. There was no need to talk so much nonsense or beat around the bush.

If you have any difficulties, if you have any results, you can just say so. Even if the amount that exceeds your expenses is rejected, you can still do business and complain!

It came and went in plain text, one, two, three, four, and even had a newly invented bar chart or pie chart to analyze the data.

This is the job. What did you do that you didn't know!

The Prince Chun didn't manage to figure out the Emperor Tongzhi's preferences at the start, but he still failed to figure out the result!

Weng Tonghe, who was at the side, was still Imperial Advisor after all. When he saw the Fifth Master's red face, he quickly stepped out to smooth things over. "Your Majesty … After all, the Prince Chun has never been in charge of actual government affairs, and he was not clear about many of the details … "

"Hehe, you don't know? Why didn't that person who was clear about it come? " Zai Chun trembled from the cold light that flashed through his eyes.

I don't know, why is the hostility from the His Majesty that I haven't seen for the past few years so strong? This was absolutely not the type of atmosphere that someone of his age should have. The old man, who was trembling in fear, quickly lowered his head and smiled, "Your Majesty, there are too many things in the capital that someone has to protect …"

At the moment, no one dared to mention General Gui Zi Six and Yi Xuan, they had to say that no matter what, they had to obtain one of the two, but if the last one did not come, Zai Chun would definitely be angry!

'Sixth and Seventh Brother, you two scam me then. A head minister brought me to Jiangnan to be scolded. Just you wait … '

"Your Majesty … "It's true that the various tribes don't have enough manpower. When His Majesty returns to the capital, this subject will definitely have a detailed discussion with him …"

"But to say that we, Da Qing, haven't done anything is wrong, at least Fu Qing's errands were done beautifully, Great Qing has already established the telegraph network …"

Yi Cong gave some maggots to those bastards in the capital city, and then quickly pushed Fu Qing to share the firepower for himself.

Fu Qing also knew what the Fifth Master meant so he quickly stood up and bowed to the Tongzhi Emperor, "Your Majesty … Great Qing's telegraph network can't be said to have been set up yet, it can only be said that the general skeleton has already been set up … "

"Currently, Great Clear Telegraph Office has already dragged the telegraph line to the provincial capitals. Other than Tibet, Xinjiang, Qing Hai and Gan Shan who just finished a chaotic war …"

'At present, the decree of the capital can be passed on to the people of White Mountain and Black Water, Guangzhou and Fujian … ' And in Hong Kong, Fujian, Shanghai, Jiaodong, Tianjin... There are also five interfaces to the submarine cable... "

"Great Clear Telegraph Office and the Chinese telegraph office have already signed a communication agreement... Through the Underwater telegraph network, we can also quickly obtain news from Europe … "

"After that, this slave will have to expand the network and refine it... "Tibet is too difficult, I still have to accumulate some experience from this …"

"However, the telegraph network in Lanzhou, Xinjiang, and other places will definitely advance with the military might of the marshal … "Once my front legs end in disarray, I'll be able to deliver the news to the capital!"

Zai Chun continuously nodded his head. The Great Clear Telegraph Office that he was in charge of was the only department that he was satisfied with.

"Good, good, good …" Great Clear Telegraph Office has already been handed over to you, I don't need to worry … When will you be sure that telegrams can be sent to all the counties in the Great Qing? "

Fu Qing thought for a moment, "Your Majesty, the Qinghai Province of Tibet and Mongolia are really special … "Apart from these places, the rest of the officials from the other provinces can guarantee that they'll be completely covered in three years …"

"But …"

"But what... If you have any difficulties, just say it! I want to hear the truth! "

"Yes!" But if you don't have enough money, if you want to telegraph all the counties of Daqing in three years... It will take at least seven to eight million silver as investment! "

"Hiss …" The people in the palace gasped, Ministry of Internal Affairs manager Lian Xing ground his teeth and said, "Master Fu Qing, how much money does the imperial government have, you still don't know? Although the North Ticket's finances have been greatly reduced, but they still spent a lot of money! "

"Seven or eight million?" Three years of investment? "Impossible, this is really impossible …"

Fu Qing was very anxious, "Not many! Really not much... "Your Majesty, my lords, you cannot always think of setting up telegrams in the plains. It is indeed simple. Just stick a wooden telegraph pole on both sides of the road and pull the wires!"

"Our Great Qing has many mountains! In many of the high mountains, the cost of travelling by road, bare back wood and power lines is two-thirds of the investment... "

"Moreover, this wooden pole cannot be used to cut down trees. It needs to be burned with charcoal and even smeared with kerosene. Only then can it protect against insects, moths, and corrosion..." This will last for a long time. Don't you need money? "

"But what about the court? Even the His Majesty's private bank doesn't have any money left! "

Zai Chun thought for a while "Fu Qing... You asked a question, so do you have a solution that I can choose from? "
