3725 No capital is also a great profit
Ci'an is not a conservative ignorant woman. Maybe she was before, but since he and Fuqing got hooked up, the beloved man has changed her to a lot!
Fuqing was the absolute Qing Dynasty reformist, and the oldest group. He was one of the first people among the Manchus to come into contact with Xiao Letian and learn Western learning.
Since Fu Qing was not a high-ranking official when he contacted Xiao Letian, he was just a small officer in the Xiling Guardian Army. After all, he continued to see Xiao Letian's reputation soared!
Such a person cannot be a powerful reformist. He is not very interested in the reform of the political system. He does not have such a strong political background, so he can only start from technological innovation!
Xiao Letian once said to Fuqing, "High school is the body, Western learning is the use!" This is a slogan, but it was named the goal of life by Fuqing!
Fu Qing is a typical technical reformist, so he can safely organize his Qing Dynasty Telegram Office!
It is precisely because he takes technology as the main point that all the ministers in the court can tolerate him, and at most they treat him as an alien!
You don’t rob the military power, you don’t rob the financial power, and you don’t rob the human rights... The court allocates you a little money and then repair the telegram cable yourself. If the money is not enough, you can raise it yourself!
If you are done, I will praise you a few words, but I may scold you a few words. Anyway, I will never fire you in the end!
It was really interesting in the late Qing Dynasty. The court and the officials who actually did practical things were more like a cooperative relationship!
I approved you to do a certain project, but I will not grant you funds, and the court will not have money to give you. You can find a way to solve it yourself!
Who cares about your cheating? Even if you borrow usury to do a business, you will be famine in the end!
If things are not done, you have to be beaten, what if they are done? In the end, it turned into the imperial court. The Qing Dynasty was completely irresponsible and made a fortune!
It’s like Zuo Zongtang’s Western Expedition. If you Han people are willing to fight, then fight. Anyway, the court has no money. You raise it yourself and exchange it for money yourself!
In the end, the country that was conquered must belong to the court!
Fuqing's Qing Telegraph Bureau is also a routine. If you go to find investment, you pay the interest. Anyway, no matter what it is built into, the Qing Telegraph Network will become the court!
A business that makes sure to make a profit! All the benefits are theirs, and they don’t take any risks. It’s really a huge profit if you don’t have any foundation!
In fact, this is the fundamental reason why most officials in the late Qing Dynasty were mediocre. There is no benefit if they did it well, but they were beaten to the board if they did it badly. In the end, they were also made wedding clothes for others!
Who is still trying hard? Talented people are working hard!
Of course, the court does not give officials any benefits. They will accuse you of corruption. For example, if Zuo Zongtang’s Western Expedition project is contracted by Zuo Jigao, then as long as you finish the matter in the end, you can embezzle whatever you want!
The construction of the telegram network in the Qing Dynasty was contracted to you by Fuqing, so you can embezzle whatever you want in the process of doing things!
This is a kind of unspoken rule. In fact, the rope is still held in the hands of the court. They agree but will not admit it explicitly. When will it feel like it will hit you, it will also turn the unspoken rule into an explicit rule!
The chaos in the late Qing Dynasty actually appeared from the highest level of the empire, and it is difficult to recover!
Of course, Fu Qing is not a bad official, but he is not a clean official. He also follows such an unspoken rule. He is also corrupt but he is more conscientious.
Fuqing also secretly invested in some businesses with the embezzled money, such as in the Northern Industrial Special Zone, he invested in iron nail factories, foreign fire factories, and several small mechanical processing factories!
While making money, he also accumulated some technical workers for the court. He was secretly accumulating some talent reserves for the court in his own way!
What a good official, you will know how to work without fighting or robbing, and you will be low-key!
Because of this, the Qing Dynasty Telegraph Bureau has been a clear stream in the court for the past five years, a unique yamen, and the atmosphere is completely different!
Through procurement and transactions with foreigners, Fuqing even sent out more than 100 apprentices and managers in batches. These people also visited some industries in the United States and the United Kingdom.
I sent Fuqing a lot of first-hand documents, including photos, postcards, copper prints... and even translated some enlightenment reading materials!
Fuqing and Ci'an are so good at mixing oil in honey. With these good things, of course you have to show your beloved!
Ci'an loves the house and the U.S. was originally not interested in foreign things, but he couldn't resist the man's liking, so he gradually learned it together.
Five years have passed, and Ci'an from Beiyuan has mastered a lot of basic knowledge of Western learning, and even the reserves of this knowledge are far greater than Cixi!
Emperor Tongzhi showed up today, and Empress Dowager Dong can certainly understand what the little emperor is anxious about!
"I have to... I can understand what you said, but every reform you want to carry out will affect the interests of countless people!"
"You build a large iron factory? How big is it? It doesn't work if it's small. The scale of thousands of people is too large. You are directly robbing the rights of the Ministry of Revenue!"
"You want to build a new education? You want to build a university? It's even more impossible. You are snatching the jobs of Confucian scholars all over the world!"
"As long as there is an objection, you will definitely suppress it. In the end, it depends on what you talk about... Your new army is getting more and more, and the military system is reformed, and you offended the people of the Ministry of War again!"
"There is also the Ministry of Revenue! All your careers require money and food. If you intervene directly, how could the people from the Ministry of Revenue have no objection?"
"The new career must also have a new talent selection mechanism, and in the end you snatch the rights of the Ministry of Personnel..."
"There are still one left in the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Rites? You must deserve it too! I have to... you are setting yourself on a pile of firewood and burning it with fire!"
Zai Chun suddenly stood up and said, "Of course! Of course, I know that I have stepped on the crater! But so what? The road to innovation is to step on blood and corpses step by step!"
"What I want is to maintain reform! For this goal, even if the corpses of tens of millions of people are piled up, I will make a way out!"
"People block kill people! Buddha blocks **!"
The bloody slogans scared Ci'an's bone marrow frozen into ice!
Slap sex... Slap sex...
A monotonous applause suddenly sounded in the distance, and then a figure walked out, "Your Majesty is so courageous! It turns out that I have seen the big scene of Europa!"
"Who?" Zai Chun turned around suddenly. He never expected that he had a private chat with Empress Dowager Dong, and someone dared to eavesdrop on it?
But after seeing the familiar figure, Zaichun's iceberg-like face suddenly bloomed countless flowers!
"Ouch...Sister Cai!"
The Chinese naval uniform that came was in perfect form was Zaichun’s familiar style, and the heroine who smiled and frowned like a flower was Cai Bixia!
