The power in their hands as royalists has also been weakened. On the surface, they are still in charge of a certain department.
But the people under his command were top talents from Long Yan selected through the examination system established by Liu Zheng.
Under such circumstances, the royalists lost their land and power.
Apart from the last apparent position, these old nobles only have this fig leaf.
Prince Xie Zhao glanced at everyone with cold eyes and sighed: "If you can't fight, then let's talk!"
"I'll go talk to Liu Zheng. If we can't reach an agreement, we'll raise troops immediately while we still have some strength left."
...
Liangzhou.
It was once a poor place, but after Liu Zheng's governance, it has become the richest place in Longyan.
Wealthy foreign businessmen can be seen everywhere. In the past, this kind of scene could only be seen in a few coastal cities in Longyan.
But now, Liangzhou is the place where foreign traders frequently visit. The weapons here, the wine here, everything here...
These are all very much needed by those traders.
These things of Long Yan are products that can cause uproar abroad.
After Long Yan's intensive cultivation, these products of Long Yan have become necessities in Western countries, especially things like soap.
For those Western nobles.
This little soap is a direct tool to help them improve their dignity.
When attending a party, to put it in layman's terms, you would be embarrassed to go out without using Longyan soap.
Liu Zheng got off the train. This was a separate carriage set up for him on the steam train.
Looking at the steam train station built in Liangzhou, Liu Zheng was filled with emotion.
It has been almost a year since I left, and Liangzhou has changed drastically, becoming more prosperous than before I left.
There are many restaurants on the street, and the lanterns are all over the street. It looks extremely prosperous!
"When the lanterns here light up at night, it feels like you are in the sea of stars. Liu Zheng, it's a pity that you spent the Spring Festival outside and didn't have the chance to see it."
"But it's a pity that these lanterns are made of paper. They were blackened in one night."
Liu Zheng laughed and said: "Xie Chan, after a while, I will show you what a real lantern is."
As long as there is electricity and light bulbs can be made, ever-lasting lanterns can be made.
Xie Chan looked at Liu Zheng and said with a smile: "Don't wait until our son grows up before showing it to me."
Liu Zheng smiled and said nothing.
As the greatest discovery and application in human history, electricity experienced many difficulties before its discovery.
Now that the laboratory in Liangzhou already has capacitors, Liu Zheng believes that a power plant will be established in the near future.
Electricity can be produced.
Then the birth of the light bulb will not be too far away.
After thinking of this, Liu Zheng looked at his old housekeeper waiting for him in front.
He and Xie Chan got on the carriage and returned to their hometown in Liangzhou.
Liu Zheng looked at his old house and was slightly startled: "Is this our home?"
Xie Chan nodded silently.
"Dad said that our family is different now. The house must be luxurious to match your temperament, so our family has become like this."
Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment, looking at the splendor, carved beams, and even the rivets on the door that were plated with gold, making him look wealthy and powerful.
