Because of Xiao Letian's appearance, history had already changed drastically. Forget about everything else, just the attitude of the people in the Qing Dynasty towards industrialization was clear!

The mindset of the imperial court had changed greatly since long ago, and was a little more open than it was in real history. Although the resistance towards the foreign affairs movement was still strong, it was still not as strong as the abnormal strength of Xiao Letian's previous life.

In the end, it was still the Industrial Zones that saw the results. The seed that Xiao Letian planted in 1864 took root tenaciously and used seven years to create an economic miracle!

The Northern Industrial Zones had already become the largest industrial complex in Asia, and also the most profitable one.

Look at the Prince Qing Yi Yong, chasing after the products of the Industrial Zones is like a dog, or even bowing and kneeling down to invite a guest from the general manager of the Special Region!

Other court officials who were not qualified to distribute industrial goods could also find that their lives had been changed by this Special Zone!

A large amount of Chinese goods began to flood the market, the most ordinary being a pot, shovel, iron nail, oil lamp, kerosene, glass … The price was 20% lower than before, and the supply had also increased by several times!

The lower prices did not mean that the quality was not good. The durability of these Special Administrative Region goods far exceeded the quality of Qingguo's own handmade products!

Take the kitchen knives used by commoners as an example. Industrial Zones's kitchen knives could actually reach the standard of folding and forging fifty times.

Who could forge an ordinary blacksmith at no cost?

With such a high quality kitchen knife, the blacksmith of Qing Country was killed!

Although Ci Xi lived in the palace, he could still hear the sound of money in his ears.

In Xiao Letian's previous life, the officials of the Qing Dynasty had fought against the foreign affairs movement with all their might and against industrialization. In the end, it was because they did not see the actual thing and did not see with their own eyes how this industrial power operated.

In other words, he didn't even see how money flowed!

Because he did not understand it, he appeared to be extremely ignorant, and his conflicting emotions became more and more intense!

And at this very moment, Tanggu District, who was just inches away from him, was right in front of him. They clearly saw how the Chinese did it, how they did it big, and how they earned their money!

Other than some people who were truly sour and ignorant, the other group of people were purely sour grapes in their hearts. They also wanted to deliberately undermine the power of the Qing Dynasty to oppose the industrialization of foreign affairs!

No one would go against money. Ci Xi was only worried about how much resistance Qing Guo would have to go against him.

And in today's meeting, although Zai Chun had been beaten to a pulp, it was not like he did not have any gains either. At least, through the tit for tat debate, he had forced these dukes and the powerful ministers to accept the iron mill's plan!

The only thing he was unhappy about was that the Iron Works Department was not willing to allocate any funds to him. He needed the little emperor to spend his own private money!

Er Mao had already made things clear today, if this metal factory was not run, then the five million that Zai Chun had exposed might not be preserved for long!

Ci Xi should be more familiar with the faces of those greedy courtiers than Er Mao!

An iron factory was something that had to be built, and not only was it to protect the 5 million yuan of silver, more importantly, Steel plant was a high-tech industry in the end of nineteenth century, with a lot of added value!

This was in itself a treasure trove. When it was first built, the investment was indeed large. However, as long as it was built, the money would come flowing!

Hairy # 2 had already explained himself, using a method that Ci Xi could understand. Hairy # 2 could already see the greed in Ci Xi's bright eyes.

Ci Xi did not make any promises and left, but everyone present was clear that sometimes, not objecting was just a type of attitude!

Da Sixi looked at the clock. It was already past two in the afternoon, so Tongzhi had only eaten a small bowl of noodles in the morning.

"Quick, quick, quick..." Hurry up and call for the His Majesty, master is really hungry … "

Zai Chun sat on the soft cushion, while Xiao Sixi knelt on one side and pounded his knees, he extended his hand to let Hairy # 2 over.

"Two Hair..." Thank you for just now! But you still cannot rest, go to the Jiumentu Palace and save Man Shun! "

"It's for the best if you go now. Those people will not dare to touch you for the time being. They are more or less afraid of your identity!" Hurry, I'm afraid something bad is going to happen to Man Shun! "

Hairy # 2 did not say anything and turned around, rushing straight towards Donghua Gate. Ma Ming had already prepared a company of soldiers there to await Hairy Two's orders!

Man Shun had not been sent to Jiumentu Palace yet, but he was still being tortured in the octagonal glass well's secret room. At this moment, he was in so much pain that he had fainted.

"This is too scary, he actually endured till now!" You actually didn't say anything. I really didn't expect that in the few years I've been away from the Forbidden City, there would be another ruthless character! "

belle Chen used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his forehead. The underground chamber was originally sullen and sullen, but after being tossed around for so long, the temperature was already extremely high!

Soldiers were passing boxes of silver to and fro around the city. The 650,000 silver seemed like a lot, but there was a portion of it that was filled with banknotes and bank deposit slips, including Chinese paper money!

Therefore, the amount it occupied was not much. It was nothing more than packing the treasures of the palace for a while!

Man Shun's ribs were densely covered with more than thirty round wounds. After the blood flowed out, it would scab again, and then be tortured to pieces!

What a tough eunuch, he was actually able to endure the effects of the Ming Dong factory, gouging out the flesh with his fish-like eyes!

"Forget it …" Stop interrogating us, just say whatever you want, and say that the money is in the foreigners' bank, and let us find the foreigners to take it! "

"Pah …" If I could get the money from the foreign devils, why would I dig this rat hole … Lightly tap on all of them... "If you spill a whole box of it, I'll skin you alive!"

belle Chen looked at his pocket watch and said, "If you continue, he should die. It's really apologetic to send a dead body to Zai Chun …" Let him live! "

But Old Eunuch Wang Zhong said with a face full of worry, "Master Belle … We spoke so much during the torture, will this Man Shun add fuel to the fire by telling His Majesty! "

"How about this... Even if we don't kill him, we can cripple him! " Wang Zhong whispered a few words into belle Chen's ear.

Zai Cheng nodded with a face full of viciousness. "I'll do as you say …"

Wang Zhong walked over to Man Shun's side, not caring if he could hear it or not, he just reached out and touched the back of Man Shun's head, "The master who taught me skills once said, there's a place at the back of a person's head!"

"As long as you use your full strength, you'll be able to ruthlessly smash a fist into this place …" If you hit this cartilage, this person will become a living dead person! "

"Lie on the bed and breathe. You can also eat and drink. But even if you don't have the language ability of a normal person, you can't write anymore …"

"What's the name of the foreign devil?" What vegetable! "

"Man Shun! Don't blame me... Senior has seen too many trials and hardships in the palace. If you are not ruthless, you really won't be able to live on! "

After speaking to here, Wang Zhong suddenly raised his fist. The middle finger's joints stuck out sharply, and then, it suddenly smashed onto the back of Man Shun's head!

Eunuch Man Shun's mind went soft, followed by his hands, legs and even the tendons all over his body turned soft!
