It was because of his son Bao Chu trying to persuade him with all his might that Chong Qi's complexion slightly improved. What happened today had really surprised him, he never thought that the emperor would actually come to visit his own daughter at home.

After letting his daughter-in-law and daughter into the house, he drank bitter tea with his son face to face. His bright yellow pocket watch was placed on the table of the Eight Immortals!

A manservant was using a piece of wood to place up the corner of the table. The old master's smack just now was really powerful. The table was almost shattered and could not even stand up!

"I never expected that there would be a problem here!" Who would have thought that the Son of Heaven would secretly barge into a house? If this matter were to be spread out, my family's reputation would be small, and the reputation of the Son of Heaven would be tarnished! "How muddle-headed …"

Bao Chu sighed, "It was Xiao Letian who lured him! Everyday, you would be brainwashed using the foreign devils' law of the jungle. This Great Qing Dynasty's etiquette and morals are completely discarded! "

"Father, look at what His Majesty has done after he returned to the capital. Actually, it's not that we too students do not want to let our parents rule the country forever, but this method must be paid attention to! "

"Donghua Gate, Peace Faction, Deisenmun … The defense of three city gates, if your majesty wants it, you can legitimately order it! Why must you use such a tyrannical method to steal it? "

"So this is what happened with Xiao Letian, this evil demon …"

At present, he was only listening through his family relationship. He had turned in a bunch of unorthodox people who were not good enough to be a popinjay, but who loved to read.

These people were filled with dissatisfaction. Being unassuming in the capital was indeed quite unusual. If they couldn't play along with the popinjays, they would feel that they would definitely become great figures in the future. They would definitely have something to show for it.

And the real Chinese scholars also had their enmity with them. This was because the Confucianism they were learning was very rigid and lacked the theories of the real commander of the Confucian school!

But no matter what, in the Qing Dynasty, this era where they respected the Confucian Scholars, they could be considered a small group of people with status within the capital!

An old-fashioned way to avoid contact, even more so than a Chinese way of thinking!

Chong Qi lamented, "If I knew your majesty would be like this, I wouldn't have let your Mother bring your sister to the Beiyuan! How good would it be if we didn't even think about it? "

"Father, this can't be blamed on you. The empress dowager can't summon you to not send your sister! "Also, we have to look at this from a different perspective!"

"If Buddha says I don't go to hell, then who goes to hell? It's exactly because His Majesty was taught badly by Xiao Letian that he needs my sister to sacrifice herself for him! "

"This is the responsibility of our family. My sister follows my father and reads the Book of Virtue. Don't you have the spirit to support the Emperor? If the emperor goes astray, we'll have to persuade him to educate us! "

"It's precisely because of your majesty that my sister deserves to be this queen!"

A resolute and decisive tone shocked Chong Qi, and the old man's eyes lit up: "That's right! If the Emperor has done so, then our subjects shall bear the responsibility of admonishing him! "

"Your sister being the empress is fine, but you have to change your mind a little. It's more reasonable to let His Majesty return to the path of a saint!"

"Go call your sister, this must be made clear!"

She really did not expect that Zai Chun's single visit would cause Chong Qi's family to experience such a psychological change. First, they wanted to humiliate themselves to death, then, they had a divine mission to accept!

Zai Chun colluding with others had actually forced this entire family into a state of madness!

In the north of Beijing, there was a river that was dug by Guo Shoujing, a famous minister of the Yuan Dynasty. It was called the Qing River, and the water system could always reach west to the Yuan Ming Yuan and the Kunming Lake.

The land here was fertile, but most of it was owned by the flagmen. The three flags of the west and the two flags of the west were here, and because the flagmen did not manage the land well, the land reclamation was not as high as that of the Chinese villages.

There were still lots of uneven potholes and small trees here, mixed with farms and some fields!

After leaving the Calming Gate, the casual Zai Chun congregated with more than a hundred New Imperial Army s. A group of people headed straight towards the frozen Qing River!

"Your Majesty, earlier British engineers have already investigated the area. This area is very suitable for building large iron mills!"

Ma Ming urged his horse forward and pointed his whip at a desolate winter plains amidst the cold wind. He could still see the unbroken Swallow Mountain Range northwest of him.

"What the big iron mills need the most is water. The transportation of materials and steel castings require water. This river's water potential is not too suitable …"

"Not far northwest is where our New Imperial Army's camp is located at. If anything happens to this factory, our soldiers will arrive at it every day!"

"If you're worried, we can find the engineers from Germany, the United States and even the Führer to take a look... This is your First New Deal after personally taking part, so you should at least kick off the limelight! "

Zai Chun breathed in the cold fresh air and looked at the scenery in front of him, but something had already changed in his mind!

The rusted factory buildings were erected one by one. The towering smokestacks spewed out black smoke as they were filled with power!

The roads were dark gray in color. Coal and iron scraps were laid out side by side. People stepped on them and rustled!

On the tracks ran small trains, on the river steam boats were hooting, coal and iron were being transported in, and steel was being spat out!

Steel was Industrial Revolution's food! With this, there will be more machinery processing plants, military factories, shipyards... Only the locomotives, the railways, the cannons!

These industrial products could not only arm the million strong army of the Great Qing, they could also dump them into the entire world. In the entire interior of the Great Qing, from the Mongolian Plateau to the Western Regions, and then to the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range Yun Gui Chuan!

The little wealth would be mobilized by the power of industry. The government's finances would definitely be greatly alleviated, and they would not be forever restricted by the agricultural tax!

This was the wild hope in Zai Chun's heart, this was his ideal of governing the country, his reforms far surpassed that of the Yongzheng Emperor!

"You're right, let the Chinese engineers come and inspect …" "Although we follow English standards, we can't let them kill our guests!"

"It's better to ask around …" "According to my decree, starting from tomorrow, all residents within five hundred hectares of land will have to be accounted for!"

"Those who should move away, compensate with compensation, get ready to take over the land first!"

"Remember to keep this a secret. Do it in secret... To the outside world, all the New Imperial Army has wanted to collect land and build a horse farm! "

"Go …" Walk with me for a bit and let me see just how big this future industrial base of Great Qing is … "Bang!"

Zai Chun galloped his horse and galloped ahead, followed by more than a hundred of New Imperial Army's cavalry, raising a cloud of dust on the cold spring ground.

There was no secret in the capital, and every move of the Tongzhi Emperor was being watched by people. A few pairs of eyes were watching every move of the Emperor from a pile of weeds not far away to the south.

This intelligence report was sent to the Residence of Crown Prince!

"Father... This is the itinerary for all the journeys that we've made today! " Zai Cheng carefully stood by Yi Nan's side, holding onto the secret report.
