3650 Your Majesty, I am not a beast!
"Who ruins the country? Don't think you are the prince, so we dare not impeach you! Expand the scale of the stock market and jump up and down every day to seduce people's hearts!"
"The people are greedy and ignorant. Once they are involved in gambling, will their families be destroyed? How many people in the capital will go bankrupt if they are just one Beijing-Tianjin Railway stock? Isn't this a lesson?"
"I have to make all the people of a country become gamblers and stop doing serious things? This is what ruins the country!"
"You fart! The stock market has existed in Europe for hundreds of years. Which European powers destroyed the country because of the stock market? Then Xiao Letian's territory has stock markets, so why did he defeat France?"
"That's the national conditions are different! Our Qing Dynasty was based on agriculture, and we passed on the family through farming, reading poetry and books. We cannot do the same thing as focusing on business! Xiao Letian and others can only be arrogant for a while. Only our Qing Dynasty's farming, reading poetry and books can ensure long-term stability for thousands of years!"
"Are you stupid enough to read? I wonder if you open your eyes to see the world? When is it time to still read poetry and books? People use cannons to bomb your hometown, and you use a hoe to write poetry and books to block it?"
"You are openly rebelling against Your Majesty's new policy! You are despising the emperor and the court! You are publicly singing the stage play, this is disloyal to Your Majesty!"
Oh, after a while, I started to exaggerate myself. I discussed whether the railway network should be established, and it was suddenly upgraded to whether it was loyal to the emperor!
When Weng Tonghe saw that his disciples and grandchildren were about to suffer a loss, he immediately said loudly, "Your princes! Is this sentence serious? Opposing the stock market is opposing the emperor? Is this a crime to be accused of?"
"If I say this, then I have to ask back, why are you so concerned about this stock market? Is it really for the railway network, or do you try your best to make money with the stock market?"
"Haha...Don't think that the old minister is blind. Which princes have not made a lot of money in the stock market?"
"You want me not to object, it's okay! Then let's answer one question for me, the stock of Beijing-Tianjin Railway has risen from one dollar to eight dollars!"
"The market value of ordinary people has increased by eight times, and the funds of 10 million have now become 80 million! I would like to ask all the princes, where did the extra 70 million come from?"
"Does this stock market have the ability to create wealth? Just a few pieces of paper can be transferred back and forth, and you can add 80 million silver dollars for no reason?"
"Haha... Where did the silver ore come from? Who refined it into silver ingots? Who casts these 70 to 80 million silver dollars? And who injected it into this market?"
"Does the stone turn into gold? How did this money be extra? Several princes have explained it to me! If I explain it clearly, I will naturally stop talking!"
Ah? I asked everyone in one sentence. These princes can explain such profound financial problems. No one in Xiao Letian's future generations who have received higher education may be able to understand this truth!
Where does the money come from? Why did it rise so much out of thin air? All of them make money, who loses money? Whoever makes money? Whoever makes money?
You always have to find the person or god who lost money to everyone, right? Where is he hiding?
This series of questions made the nobles of the Eight Banners Palace dumbfounded, and they stuttered with their tongues and didn't know what to say.
Although these people have never lost a fight, they have never won when it comes to reasoning!
Of course Zaichun wanted to promote the railway network in his heart, so Zaichun was also very happy when Prince Zheng and his friends made such a fuss, but Zaichun understood that there were too many people opposing the railway plan, and it was not possible for the entire Beijing-Tianjin Railway to refute it.
Now the Qingliu people jumped out and opposed it directly, and suppressed these princes. Zaichun saw that it was not good and quickly gave Prince Dun a wink.
Prince Dun Yiqiu, who had never said he was alive, spoke, "Well... everyone seems to have forgotten what they are here to do today, right? This is here to celebrate the first furnace of molten steel in the Qing Dynasty!"
"The foreigners and Chinese engineers have been waiting for a long time. Should we delay the discussion?"
Fu Qing smiled and said, "That's right! All the heroes are waiting for the emperor to speak out. Let's not waste time!"
Zaichun asked the eunuchs to put the memorial together, "Okay, keep this for sure and not send it out. Let's discuss it slowly... Several heroes are here, bring my gold medal in the imperial wine yellow vest!"
Just as these ministers were quarreling, the No. 1 blast furnace had already completed the release of iron, coke and additives. The flames were raging, and a new round of steel refining technology began again.
It takes a long time to wait for iron ore to be transformed into molten iron. During this period, several technical leaders can finally come to see Emperor Tongzhi!
On the viewing platform, Zaichun personally gave these engineers the golden waist card. They were all carefully created by the Dawei goldsmith. The craftsmanship and artistic sense were very complex. Moreover, there was a privilege for such golden waist card, which was the right to go to the Forbidden City to meet the emperor.
Of course, having such rights is different from using them. If you really want to meet the emperor and the others, you must first report to the Ministry of Rites and follow a very responsible procedure!
But having such privileges is indeed a proof of identity!
Imperial wine and yellow vests were also rewarded, and all the workers of this blast furnace were given a hundred taels of silver for each!
This is not an ordinary silver pattern, but was specially minted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It has beautiful patterns and records today's text, which is equivalent to a commemorative coin!
The rewards were given to these engineers one by one, and when Xin Jian arrived, Zai Chun laughed, "Haha, I really have a fate with you!"
"I met Tanggu. I met once when you first came to the capital... Later, you sued the emperor again, that was the third time! Now this is the fourth time..."
Xin Jian had just taken off his insulation suit, but his sweat was not over. "Yes, Your Majesty, this is the fourth time I have seen Your Majesty..."
"You helped me refine the first furnace of steel and trained many technicians, and I have made great contributions! How about it, are you interested and don't go back? Let's stay in this capital!"
"With your ability, you won't have to worry about the Ministry of Works not having your official position in the future!"
Xin Jian was stunned and smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty has any orders to make steel. The common people are willing to work hard and do not hesitate! But you should be exempted from staying in the capital!"
"Xiaomin, I have received too much favor from the Chinese people and I dare not change my family in this life!"
Zai Chun sighed, "Oh... I'm just talking too much. The master scolded me, how could I be dug up so easily!"
Zai Chun said this and turned around and was about to leave. At this time, the entire ritual ceremony ended. The imperial gift banquet was followed by, so the afternoon ceremony would be enough to return to the palace.
Xin Jian should have said nothing at this time and quietly sent the emperor away, and today's affairs will be complete!
But no one expected that when Zai Chun turned around, Xin Jian suddenly looked up and said, "Your Majesty... I am a human... not a cat, dog and beast... The Head of State has never scolded us, let alone scolding us like this!"
"Among the Chinese people... all people are equal!"
With just this sentence, Zaichun's body froze. The guards around him pressed the compression spring of the waist knife and saw a fierce light in their eyes. With just a wink of the emperor, they could chop this disrespectful stinky steelmaker into meat paste.
Zai Chun didn't look back, and his flesh jumped up on his face!
Chapter completed!
