Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded, but did not speak immediately. Instead, he licked his lips, which seemed to be an action before a very formal opening statement.
Later, I heard him say sincerely to Liu Weichao: "Before I met you, I failed as an emperor! Although I worked very hard, I will become the king of the country in two years. This matter has always been very important to me.
mind……"
Hearing this, Liu Weichao wanted to comfort him. But before he could speak, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "I have been reflecting on how to be a qualified emperor and how to be the leader of the ZTE! Of course, you can help
These things about me are indeed useful. But what I want is how to change myself..."
Liu Weichao could tell that he had thought carefully and concluded. Obviously, these words must have been kept in his heart, and he finally said them out today.
In this case, the right thing to do is to let Emperor Chongzhen speak out.
Thinking like this, Liu Weichao gave up the idea of persuading Emperor Chongzhen and wanted to hear what he would finally say!
Just listen to Emperor Chongzhen continue to say to him: "I have considered that as far as I am concerned, I have always been at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the officials. That is what you said before, I have been fooled and played by them.
Between the palm of your hand..."
When he said this, he paused for a moment, and Liu Weichao could feel that at this moment, he still seemed a little embarrassed.
But since he can say it, it is good, and it proves that he is reflecting and has courage.
Therefore, Liu Weichao continued to listen carefully and listened to what he said next.
"...I have been thinking about this and trying to change it!" Emperor Chongzhen said this, with a smile on his face and said to Liu Weichao, "Because of you, I finally have a new attempt. The steam train
It was put into practice on the matter, and all of them were speechless. It can be said that I was completely victorious against them."
With that said, he told Liu Weichao what happened in the past few days, including his layout, implementation and bet before and after the steam train, and even the last thing he went to the Imperial College to teach in person.
When he was talking about these things, he probably thought of the scene where He Fengsheng and others had eaten. He seemed to be in a better mood, almost elated, and finally asked Liu Weichao: "How is it? I should have already met you when I first met."
Completely different, right?”
He obviously cares a lot about whether he has changed or not!
When Liu Weichao heard this, he couldn't help but smile, nodded and said: "It's completely different. It has changed a lot."
"You took advantage of their ignorance of steam trains and took advantage of retreat to gain the exclusive rights to operate the trains. Building trains in places with a lot of passengers will definitely bring you a lot of money!"
"He also made a bet with them and convinced them to lose, so that he could open up a scientific gap in the Imperial College without any resistance. He also went to teach in person, thus once again arousing the interest of all scholars in science. Let them take exams and select
, you are also using your status as emperor to not force them to take the initiative to learn scientific knowledge first! These methods are all very good!"
"..."
Listening to Liu Weichao's step-by-step analysis and his compliments, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile, very happily.
"You also made Song Yingxing a science and technology uncle!" At this point, Liu Weichao stopped for a moment, shook his head and smiled, "This title is a bit expensive, not at all noble, just like a chicken uncle, haha..."
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen quickly explained: "Do I want everyone to know that Song Qing was knighted because of science and technology? As long as they are willing to put down the Four Books and Five Classics and turn to science, then I will give them the same
The same title as Song Qing!"
"Haha, this is another horse bone with a thousand gold coins, right?" When Liu Weichao heard this, he smiled and said, "That's right, instead of forcing science to be implemented at the beginning, but using inducements, things will definitely go much smoother. This horse bone with a thousand gold coins will definitely go smoothly.
, really good!”
After complimenting him, and seeing Emperor Chongzhen smiling again, Liu Weichao continued: "Taking advantage of the fact that the steam train shocked the people of the Ming Dynasty, you took the opportunity to explain the knowledge about steam trains in person as the emperor, and Song Yingxing's daughter.
Horse bones. I believe that the germination of science and technology will definitely take root among the scholars of the Ming Dynasty! These measures of yours are all consistent and must be what you will do after you consider them maturely. I think..."
Having said this, he raised a thumbs up in front of the mobile phone screen, and then praised: "Great!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he grinned happily.
This conversation with Liu Weichao could only be conducted with Liu Weichao. It was impossible for anyone else, including Queen Zhou or Concubine Tian, to even listen. He didn't want anyone else to hear it.
.
Emperor Chongzhen's hard work won the recognition of Liu Weichao. In his opinion, this was the most fair evaluation, and he was really happy.
One thing, Emperor Chongzhen has actually never changed. That is, he wants to be the leader of ZTE, and he wants to work hard to be a good emperor!
It’s just that the previous efforts were in the wrong direction, and they made more and more mistakes; but now, after meeting Liu Weichao, I understood my shortcomings, and then I kept working hard, and finally it paid off!
The Ming Dynasty was on the verge of renaissance, thanks to Liu Weichao's help, but it has also been proven that it was also inseparable from his own efforts!
He was enjoying himself when he suddenly heard Liu Weichao say to him with a smile: "However, in my opinion, among the things you have done, there are still some shortcomings, or areas for improvement!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Is there something that hasn't been done well?
Thinking like this, when he came back to his senses, he quickly asked: "Is there anything else I need to improve on?"
After hearing this, Liu Weichao reminded Emperor Chongzhen: "Do you still remember what the glass factory did back then?"
"How did the glass factory do it?" Emperor Chongzhen listened, thought about it for a moment, then nodded, still a little confused and asked, "What's wrong?"
Seeing that he still didn't understand, Liu Weichao said clearly: "If you want to do something for a long time, the best way is to tie the forces that have the ability to affect this matter with your own interests. For example, the original
Your glass factory is a joint-stock company, and almost everyone in your court has more or less shares. So, your glass factory has been running for almost a year, has anyone objected?"
"Objection?" After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to understand Liu Weichao's intention, but he was not very sure, so he shook his head and said, "Of course there is no objection. Even if they don't have shares, how can they still object?"
When Liu Weichao heard this, he understood that because he had never objected, Emperor Chongzhen could not think of any way to object now.
So, he continued to say to Emperor Chongzhen: "As for the steam train, you saw the huge benefits it could generate, so you thought of ways to get all the benefits of the steam train into your own hands. In this matter, you can
In exchange for cement, it is indeed possible. But, have you ever thought about it..."
Having said this, Liu Weichao raised a finger and then continued: "The railway construction will always be in the capital, under your eyes? If it is built far away in the future and is no longer under your supervision, do you think they will
Are you motivated to cooperate with your railway company to build railways?"
Hearing this, if it were the former Emperor Chongzhen, he would definitely say: "How dare they?"
But today's Emperor Chongzhen has matured a lot. After hearing this, he did not speak, but his brows were knotted, obviously thinking about what the answer would be.
Seeing him like this, Liu Weichao raised his finger again and continued: "Second, you build the routes that make money, and the routes that don't make money, or at least the routes that don't make money in the short term, such as for military use.
Do you want to repair the railway because of political factors? This is related to the national security. If you repair it, it will be a loss-making business. For the inner court, should you repair it or not? Or if you repair it, your successor emperor will still have to repair it.
Will you spend the money to repair it?"
These questions made Emperor Chongzhen's face change several times, and he obviously knew that he had indeed thought poorly.
Liu Weichao ignored him and continued to say to him: "Railway is actually a country's infrastructure construction, just like cement is a basic material. The owners of these should be tied to the entire country, not individuals."
"The emperor is a human being and has his own selfish desires. Other people are also human beings and have their own selfish desires. If these selfish desires cannot be bundled together, then there will inevitably be conflicts. And this conflict will be bad." When Liu Weichao said this, he saw
Emperor Chongzhen asked, "Now, do you understand why I mentioned the shares of the glass factory to you in the first place?"
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen looked serious, nodded solemnly and said: "What you mean is that I want to change the Railway Department. It cannot be exclusive to the inner court, but shared with...and...the outer court?"
After hearing this, Liu Weichao immediately replied: "I think it should be like this, and it is best to take into account the interests of the central court and local governments. This matter is actually quite complicated and needs to be studied carefully.
.But one thing is for sure, go and don’t monopolize it. Even if you are the emperor, you will pay the price if you eat alone!”
No matter who it was, few people would have the guts to say this in front of Emperor Chongzhen.
But Liu Weichao spoke to Emperor Chongzhen from across the plane without any scruples. Moreover, this was for the good of Emperor Chongzhen!
Obviously, Emperor Chongzhen also knew that Liu Weichao's interests were the same as his. The better the Ming Dynasty, the better Liu Weichao could be. Therefore, it must be for his own good that he said such harsh and unpleasant words.
Naturally, Emperor Chongzhen was willing to listen to Liu Weichao's words. Therefore, after these words came out, Emperor Chongzhen did not get angry, but seriously considered it.
