The great emperor of crossing

Lin Zexu became more and more excited now as he talked, but he still felt that working next to Zhang Zhidong was a very solid feeling.

"That's why I dare to speak unscrupulously when I speak with you. If it were someone else, I don't know how to say it."

"Okay, there is no need for any politeness between us, hurry up and sleep, and tomorrow we will go to the State Council to ask them for help."

The next day, Zhang Yi, the prime minister who was working in the Palace of Qinzheng, always had a question in his mind, that is, now that all the affairs of the empire are going on like a raging fire, why is this steel company the only one that has not taken any action until now.

However, just when he was feeling very depressed, he finally heard a very familiar voice.

"Is Zhang Zhidong here?"

Zhang Yi came out of Qinzheng Palace directly, and saw Zhang Zhidong and Lin Zexu appearing in front of her eyes.

"You guys are here. What have you been busy with during this time?"

Zhang Zhidong directly took out an emperor's book.

"I finally understood the emperor's book completely. If Lin Zexu hadn't helped me during this time, I really don't know how to read the many words in this book, just like a heavenly book."

"In that case, come in quickly, let's sit down and talk about this."

Several people finally came to Qinzheng Hall and sat down.

"Hurry up and drink tea, I know you have worked hard on this journey."

"That said, I came here from Chang'an City, and I didn't come all the way."

"Haha! I'm being polite, don't you understand? Haha!"

Zhang Yi suddenly felt that the Zhang Zhidong in front of her was indeed cuter, but she didn't expect that such a small move would be quite questionable.

"Tell me, what are you looking for?"

"We hope that you can give us a demonstration, and the funds we need are [-] million. The emperor has told us about this, and we have also come up with a corresponding plan."

"The emperor told us about this a long time ago, but at first I really thought you were joking. I didn't expect you to have a relative plan! At that time, I heard you talk about the international form in the royal garden for a long time. I didn’t expect to find out later that this was what the emperor told us specifically.”

This set of statements by Zhang Yi made Zhang Zhidong feel ashamed. He really didn't expect that such a high-ranking Prime Minister Wang Minister in front of him could say such approachable words.

"What kind of argument are you going to make? In fact, if the funds are approved, I can do it alone."

"I know that you have the final say on this matter in the State Council, but there is one thing that must be clarified now, that is, the parliament has also appeared. This time, the Council of the State Council, that is, I hope you can put these members of the Standing Committee of the Parliament Come on, they are now part of it."

Lin Zexu made it clear what he should say at this time, it seems that the first iron and steel plant matter.From now on, it is not as simple as he thought.

"Actually, the State Council does have the right to do so, but the amount of [-] million is indeed too large and still needs to be approved by the parliament. Otherwise, the use of funds by the State Council in the future may become a small crime."

Zhang Yi finally smiled at this time, it seems that these people also understand the affairs of the country very well.

"I'm just waiting for your words. In fact, the prime minister has already prepared, but the current parliament is only a temporary one, so the resolutions made can only be made by the emperor to make the final decision. This is the transition role of parliament."

After saying this, Zhang Yi and everyone came to the parliament together, but saw that it was very busy.

"What are you doing here?"

"What else can we do? Amend the law, make ballots, and the first election will start in a month or two. We must do all the things right now, don't we?"

Wei Yang also looked very approachable at this time, but when he saw Zhang Zhidong, he knew that things were much more serious than he imagined.

"Everyone, stop what you're doing. There is one thing that everyone needs to demonstrate, but this time you may not be very familiar with it, so we just need a little time."

"That's right, you don't have to worry this time, because the emperor has already approved it, and we are just going through a process, but in the future, such a large fund must be approved by everyone."

At this time, Zhang Yi also explained everything that should be said clearly, and Zhang Zhidong led Lin Zexu to make a statement.

"Hello, members of the Standing Committee! Actually, this time, I am the one applying to you for this matter. Although the emperor has approved the withdrawal of the money, there are many things that need your help to solve."

Zhang Zhidong took out a map, only then did everyone realize that it was a real full map.

"Everyone, please look at the above first. This is the steel plant that I will build after the unification of our country. The places marked in red above are the steel plants directly controlled by the empire, but the only thing that is not marked is what we are going to build now. steel company, the reason is very clear, because we need a lot of support to do it, which is why we need [-] million."

At this time, Zhang Zhidong began to notice that the people below were silent, as if everyone was worrying about these things.

"In fact, the establishment of a steel plant requires us to conduct relative research. First, there must be corresponding coal reserves, and this time the steel plant is equipped with environmental protection equipment, which means that we must have such a situation This means that there are certain requirements for funds, and we also need to have certain conveniences, which is transportation, so we hope that the steel plant can be placed directly in a place with very convenient transportation, preferably A transportation hub, this will also benefit our steel plant to export steel directly to the outside world!"

"Then what do you need us to do?"

Wei Yang directly expressed this idea on behalf of everyone.

"Actually, what I need you to do the most is to help us build a real department to find mines, that is, the Department of Geology. I hope that the whole department can seize the time to form a prospecting team to carry out corresponding coal mine exploration all over the country. Now the original idea is to directly build the steel company not far from the capital, but whether such a thing can be done requires further demonstration.”
