Zuo Jigao could not have known about the situation in the capital. He did not see these changes with his own eyes, but the information from all parties was instilled into his ears and had already been called into calluses.

However, when he saw the changes in the real capital, his heart was greatly impacted. Why did the customs of the capital change so quickly?

Some newspapers say that this is consumerism. In Zuo Zongtang's eyes, isn't this extravagant trend?

But Zuo Zongtang did not dare to show any objection today, and his face was still smiling like a flower. Zaichun rode the imperial chariot north into the palace and invited him to join the imperial chariot together.

Zuo Zongtang dared not sit there. After refusing, he insisted on supporting the imperial chariot all the way back to the palace to show that he did not dare to transgress!

It is already a supreme honor to be able to hold the imperial chariot and walk side by side with the emperor. The other nobles in the palace are all very jealous.

Along the way, Emperor Tongzhi carefully introduced to him the changes that have taken place in the capital during this period!

The Nine Gate Admiral's Office has been abolished, and the functions of public security and Shuntian Prefecture are integrated into the General Administration of the Capital Police.

The one wearing a large-brimmed hat and a black uniform on the street is the Beijing police force, which specializes in maintaining public order!

A new gas company has been established. Tonight, to celebrate Dashan’s return to Beijing, it was put into use in advance. Gas lights can be ignited half of the distance from Dazhalan to the Tianqiao area.

The rickshaw industry has also flourished, with the Jingshi Exchange ahead, with a daily transaction volume of one million taels, creating wealth myths one by one!

The emperor will take Zuo Zongtang to take the train to inspect the continuous industrial zone of Qinghe. The new army of the Imperial Army and the Guaizi Maxishan Camp will all go to see it!

The new policy of the Tongzhi Dynasty had already seen the effect. Zaichun was like an excited child showing his big toy to others, and he said endlessly!

It is not a big mistake for Emperor Tongzhi to be in a state of innocence. Facing a great hero like Zuo Zongtang, the best among the Han warlords, who could keep their direct ranks in the Western Regions and not return to the Central Plains. How loyal is this to the little emperor?

Just because of this contribution to self-disarming, Zuo Zongtang must be set as a typical benchmark and cannot let him suffer a loss!

With the establishment of Zuo Zongtang's banner, the Han warlords will naturally restrain themselves a lot!

Zuo Zongtang was smiling on his face, but there was a storm in his heart, and he pressed a lot of words into his stomach.

"Your Majesty! Do you know why I delayed my journey for two or three months before returning to Beijing? I am examining the real people of the Qing Dynasty for you!"

"Have you ever seen a boatman bent his waist by the Yellow River, and some people fainted from hunger and fell into the Yellow River and would never see anyone again!"

"In the vast Qinling Mountains, do you know how many villages are poor and have to be bandits?"

"How many years have passed the rebellion in the Guanzhong Plain? Land annexation has emerged!"

"I'm poor! The mountains and rivers of the Qing Dynasty, except for the provincial capitals, there are also the prefectures and counties below. Can you see a little prosperous scene, how are the other villages already extremely poor?"

"The Battle of the Western Regions seems to be in Xinjiang, but the economy along the entire supply line leading to Xinjiang has been implicated!"

"This is because the Chinese people have provided a lot of funds, and they have undertaken most of the supply tasks. If there is no Chinese Western Regions Investment Bank, relying solely on the power of our Qing Dynasty... the hardships of the people are even more unimaginable!"

"In the remote countryside, women don't even have one pants, and the family only has a pair of torn pants. Whoever goes out wears them, can only wear sacks at home to cover their shame!"

"Your Majesty! Where is the prosperous era in the Qing Dynasty? No! All this in front of the capital is an illusion and false!"

"The poor can count the hungry ribs of their children. It is common to sell children and girls everywhere. Do you know how many women are to be snatched from other places in the flower streets and willows that are available in the capital every year?"

"How many women who offer rich people a pleasure were sold by their parents because of their poverty, and how many were stolen by human traffickers?"

"The joy of the capital here is based on the suffering of many people!"

"The stock market is booming? Your Majesty, do you know how much wealth this stock market has attracted in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong...??"

"Cash flow has attracted you here, and those places will be poorer!"

"It's dangerous! Your Majesty is dangerous!"

Zuo Zongtang was crying in his heart, but he didn't have the courage to speak to the little emperor because he saw a look that was almost paranoid in Zaichun's eyes.

The little emperor has fallen into it with zeal!

"Master Zuo?Master Zuo... Are you stunned? Is the scenery in the capital unexpected? Hahaha..." Zaichun found Zuo Zongtang and smiled in a daze.

"I just said that I will be preparing to repair the Old Summer Palace next year! Don't advise me. I am not a foolish monarch who will not waste the people and cause money. We will slowly repair part by part of it. Don't worry, do you think it's good?"

Zuo Zongtang dared not say anything, so he could only smile bitterly and said, "Your Majesty's plan is of course excellent. The old minister can only come up with ideas next to him... Now the court has a lot of money, so it is better to use it on the tip of the knife!"

"Haha! The general is too worried... I will take you to the Beijing Iron and Steel Factory tomorrow, and you will know if you go and check the money-making accounts!"

"Industry is a treasure pot, and the money you earn is not comparable to that of growing crops! There is still a small amount of money to repair the Old Summer Palace... I left, follow me into the palace and open the main street!"

The Qing Empire welcomed the commander who had self-removed military power to return to the center of power with the highest standards. All the main gates of the Forbidden City opened, giving Zuo Jigao the supreme glory!

At the same time, in the distant Western Regions, teams of people were struggling to go west along the official road. The soldiers along the way were all under the jurisdiction of the *** Postal Bureau, which is the subordinate of Qing Sanye.

They had already received the latest orders, and all stations should take good care of these strange travelers to the west!

"Did you see it? The thirty-year-old Chinese gentleman who was leaving today went to the Yili River Valley... The forty people the day before yesterday went to Hami..."

"In the past half month, there have been two or three hundred people going back and forth, right? What are they doing?"

"You don't understand this! These short-haired people are all Chinese scholars, college students... If you don't understand college, you are the Imperial College in the court!"

"All of them are the smartest scholars, Wenquxing has descended to earth!"

"They were all invited by the Western Regions Bank to teach in our Western Regions... Every college student needs to teach for three years!"

"Three years later... it seems that the Chinese people have directly awarded them official positions. I have worked hard to change the official positions in these three years!"

"Oh... Oh my God, Wenquxing has entered Xinjiang, and they are all future officials! No wonder, no wonder..."

These veterans of Master Qing San in the post station do not understand the difference between Chinese civil servants and officials, but they understand the value of scholars.

The Western Regions are a desert of knowledge and culture. Finally, a group of people who understand the truth come to educate adults and children about how they should live!

Western Regions! Western Regions! Yili! Yili River Valley!

After the swords, guns and cannons are pushed up, the scholars must keep up immediately!

The more than 200-year lost culture and education in the Qing Dynasty now has to be compensated for by one year and ten years. It is a good time for this riddled history!
