The iron and steel industry is the foundation of industry, the skeleton of all industries. Without steel you wouldn't have a rail, a steam engine, a textile machine, a lathe, a cannon, a rifle... Everything was just empty talk!

Coal was a good thing, the Great Qing produced a lot of it. As long as you were willing to spend silver, you could buy it.

Coal and steel are the first steps in the steam engine era, so you can step into the industrial era!

Even Xiao Letian's Chinese started by building industrial buildings from Tanggu District's iron factory! "

Starting from the basics, because Europe had already reached the era of leveling up to Second Industrial Revolution, the Europeans no longer had any desire to seal off the technology of the Industrial Revolution for the first time.

To be honest, it would be impossible to seal it off, because many basic technologies in so many countries in Europe have already been popularized!

The steam engine, Steel plant could even be produced in Italy, Spain, and the Portugal. It would be impossible for them to create a technology blockade, and they had no interest in it!

Therefore, Zai Chun did not need to worry too much about the technology. As long as you pay to buy whose standard you want, those European merchants would promise to give you the technology for free!

There was no need to worry about technology or money. Forget about using military support funds, millions of silver taels could still be used to support the Qing Dynasty!

All that was left was to push forward one by one!

Should I choose the address first? They had to have abundant water sources and convenient transportation. As long as they were close to a big city, they would have the advantage of a large population and market!

If you pick the address, you have to collect land. That land has its owners, you can't steal from them like you did when you founded the country!

After spending money to collect land, you have to settle those people first, and then the Infrastructure construction!

Although the Infrastructure was not as complex as the 21st century, there was still a way to go into the water system and it was necessary to build a building for the factory and its residential district!

There were thousands of possibilities, everything had to be arranged in advance!

Cheng Huai was a subordinate of the Qing San Ye. Four months ago, Fu Qing received the secret orders from the Emperor.

How can you say that the Qing San Ye's system is a different type of existence! The people under his command were also out of touch with the various factions in the imperial court, so he had always done his job well!

Of course, the Prince Kung knew that Fu Qing's men had always been out of the city these past few months to measure their land, writing and painting, and had often been in and out of the East Crossing Folk Lane.

A lot of information about the Department of Revenue, work department and even the clan's people's residences had also been transferred away!

Naturally, there were people who reported these things to the Prince Kung, but everyone thought that these people were doing the teleportation office's work, and that those who did the telegraph line's work had to deal with the numbers on the land every day.

Never would he have thought that Zai Chun would actually plot against this, a large Steel plant!

According to Zai Chun's plan, it would take at least a year for all these work to progress, and during this year, he would be using the marriage ceremony and the political ceremony.

The year 1872 would pass very quickly. And next year, when the year 1873 was finished with his personal affairs, he would start installing the equipment and training the people of the Steel plant!

In another year's time, the Great Qingjing Capital Iron Factory would be able to produce steel that was made from molten steel!

Making the capital into an industrial base that was under Zai Chun's control, with the help of steel in his hands, he would have power and money. With the strong support of the industrial power, it would be much easier for Zai Chun to push the reform forward!

No matter what, he had to rely on his strength to reform this thing!

Opening up Cheng Huai's memorial, Zai Chun skimmed through all ten lines without being able to read it too carefully. But just by looking at the general rules, it should not make too much of a mistake!

"Your Majesty, you've put in a lot of effort …" Let's send this imperial report to the masters for them to see, let's all take a look! "

To be able to become an official in the imperial court, their basic work skills were excellent, especially the Ancient China's private school education method, they paid much attention to the basic knowledge of writing!

Not only was the writing beautiful, the reading efficiency was also extremely high. Otherwise, how long would it take to finish all six pieces of imperial reports?

To be able to read ten lines at a glance and not understand the gist of it, this was the fundamental skill of an official!

The imperial reports were passed down from his hands, and everyone who read it was shocked. No one had expected the emperor to do such meticulous work at such a young age.

After reading it, he handed it over to Yi Cong, and after Yi Cong finished, he gave it to him. As the memorials were being passed down one by one …

Prince Ching was bewitched as he muttered to himself, "So it's here?" Sooner or later, he wouldn't be able to escape this fate? Are these Western Demons really going to come into my Great Qing world? "

Yi Kuang suddenly looked at Tongzhi with reddened eyes as if he was about to cry. This unscrupulous prince actually bent his knees and kneeled down to Zai Chun!

"Your Majesty! Why do you believe this nonsense? You've truly opened your country's doors to bring the Western Devils in … Do you still want to live in this world!? "

Yi Kuang cried from the bottom of his heart "wuu … Your majesty! You can't do this, this is the feng shui of our Great Qing! "

"What kind of Industrial Revolution is Europa trying to do? In the end, it's just urging the Fire Demons to refine all living things and destroy the heavens and the earth!"

"Wuwuwu …" "I've been to the Steel plant s over at Tanggu, I've really been there before …"

These words even made Yi Cong feel cold: "Aiyo, when did you go to Xiao Letian's territory? Have you reported this to the clan? Does Her Majesty know? "

Yi Kuang shook his head: "No, this subject went there secretly. This subject doesn't have any other thoughts, I just don't feel at ease …. This subject wants to know, what kind of industrial power Xiao Letian has been advocating, exactly … "

"That's why I went there secretly. I changed my appearance to become a merchant and followed the caravan into the Special Administrative Region …"

"Your majesty!" Empress Dowager … That's not a place for people, that's hell! the Infernal Realm! "

Yi Kuang still could not forget the shock from before, as though the scene back then was right in front of him!

"The sky is dark, the ground is black, even the air is black!"

"The road is covered with black mud, the workers on the street are all black, only exposing two white eyeballs. When I smile, two rows of white teeth look like ghosts …"

"The air is filled with a sour smell, and the river is polluted with a pungent smell... This subject has personally witnessed a stray cat accidentally falling into the river, and it was quickly burnt to death! "

"Burn to death! "It's not drowning, it's burning flesh that's rotten …"

"That pipe is as high as a flagpole, it's even stuck in the sky. I'm afraid that even Old Lord Taishang's driving rate palace has been darkened by the black smoke!"

"The train is really powerful, it's like a monster climbing up the tracks. Once it starts, it'll shake the earth like the roar of a bison …"

"As for that workshop …" This subject does not even dare to look! How could it be our Great Qing's blacksmithing style? They are all tall and big blast furnaces! "

"When I open the door, all that comes out is molten iron …" Wasn't this hell? Only the Infernal Realm has a river of fire with flowing molten iron! "

"Your majesty!" This was hell, this was not human! How did you come up with this idea in the capital? "No, definitely not!"
