The great emperor of crossing

Today's royal garden seems to be a bit different from usual. Basically every official who came was called to the office for one-on-one discussions. It seemed that Zhao Lie was already very concerned about this matter.

The last one to go was Zhang Zhidong. He thought he should show up in the office when he was going to rest, so he chose to wait.

"I really didn't expect you to appear in the office at this time! This will be my place from now on. I will never use a very luxurious office until the empire completely becomes the world's number one power!"

Zhao Lie wants to let everyone see what the real standard is through this method of setting an example.

"The emperor leads by example, so naturally he has nothing to say, but how much confidence does His Majesty have in establishing a steel company?"

Such a sentence made Zhao Lie feel a little bit wrong.

"Zhang Zhidong, are you testing my determination? Let me tell you the truth, as long as you are willing, I can do everything I say. No matter what, our empire must be the number one in the world." One will do, but now it seems that our empire has fallen behind, do we have to wait for others to come over before we know how to compromise and start over?"

After Zhang Zhidong heard this sentence, he was very moved. He didn't expect that the emperor would completely indulge such a steel company.

"Since this is the case, I want money, and I will take [-] million? Because I want to build, I want to build the world's largest steel company. That is to say, this time I must take practical actions to show Westerners Let's see how strong our eastern empire is."

"If you want to use [-] million yuan to build a steel company, I naturally have no objection, and I can approve it for you, but you must come up with a charter for how to use the money, so that I can handle it easily."

Zhao Lie's meaning is very clear, there is definitely money, but how to obtain this part of the funds needs to rely on her own efforts.

"As long as the emperor has confidence, I will be able to write you the whole plan in a very short time. If possible, I can show you the whole plan tomorrow morning."

Zhao Lie didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly.

Only then did Zhang Zhidong realize that he might have really exaggerated, but anyway, these plans must be implemented.

Zhang Zhidong couldn't sleep at night. He didn't expect such an emperor to be so pragmatic. It seemed that he had to do some things well.

"Is Mr. Zhang still unable to sleep?"

Lin Zexu appeared in Zhang Zhidong's room at this time, and seeing that there was no written memorial on the table, he knew that he must be deep in thought.

"I directly asked for [-] million according to what you said before, but the emperor asked me to come up with a way, that is to say, he asked me to come up with a specific charter, otherwise he would not be able to approve the money."

"In that case, why don't you just tell him our original idea?"

"That idea is a little unreliable, isn't it?"

"What's unreliable? This matter is only what we do. Let me tell you this. Chang'an City is extremely prosperous now, and I also went to the power company and the central bank today. Tonight you are He Sheng Xuan Huaihe The meal Liang Qichao ate together, it can be said that these two people are very pragmatic, that is to say, in the near future, the financial industry of the empire will become the most powerful in the world, so [-] million should not be a big deal to the empire."

Zhang Zhidong was very surprised by what Lin Zexu said. He did not expect such a person to appear in front of him. The key is that he immediately chose to be with those people when he just arrived in the capital. It seems that Lin Zexu in front of him is really It has its own ambitions.

But such a person is also very good, at least one's own destiny is connected with an empire, so that the entire empire can be built well.

"I think Mr. Zhang should do this now and refine our ideas. I will accompany you to write this thing tonight. Of course, you'd better mention me when you hand it in tomorrow. It's not because of me. The reason is that the emperor decided to be smart, he absolutely does not believe that you will complete such a job alone."

Lin Zexu only met Zhao Lie once, but he already had a very clear understanding of the current situation.

"Then please do it tonight."

The two of them didn't sleep at all throughout the whole night. In the royal garden the next day, Zhao Lie finally got this exciting memorial.

"This is a one-night job with Lin Zexu."

Seeing Zhang Zhidong's sleepy face in front of him, Zhao Lie really felt a little distressed.

"It seems that I can't force you like this in the future. You are all talents of the empire. It would be bad if you really fell at this time. Since you have the heart, I will definitely find a way to take a good look at it."

Zhao Lie read the memorial carefully, and began to read every word in it in great detail, and often made any inquiries.

Zhang Zhidong answered all these completely, and it can be seen that all these should not be completed through one or two drills.

"Tell me the truth, how long have you thought about this?"

"Ever since we read the "Pictures of the Sea Country", we have been thinking about this matter. Any empire needs a lot of steel to develop. If an empire wants to develop, but its industry is Without any steel industry, the empire would never have developed."

"You are very right. In fact, when you proposed [-] million yesterday, I was a little surprised, because I thought you would talk about it. It seems that I was worrying too much. You can just bring this, the Premier of the State Council Minister Wang will definitely handle this matter well, and after this matter, you can ask Wei Yang to do it. The country will hold a parliament soon, and our parliament is completely different from foreign parliaments. When the time comes, you Anyone can participate."

After Zhang Zhidong heard this statement, he finally had an exciting feeling. It seemed that the modernization of the empire was absolutely possible.

"Then hurry up and prepare. According to your schedule, the steel company can be built in two months. If I ask you to complete it in one month?"

"One month may be a bit rushed. In fact, the mechanical equipment is not a big problem. The key is that the training of employees takes a long time, because there are many high-tech technologies here, so if there are employees who are not familiar with it and cause production accidents , then it will really be worth the candle.”
