It is also a helpless move to say hello to the person in charge of each hall in advance.
Because, nine southern provinces were revolutionized.
At the same time, my father-in-law also came to urge my son-in-law to fulfill his promise and change his surname back to Zhu immediately. Otherwise, the Wuchang government is likely to follow the example of Zhejiang and establish a military government and declare independence.
Although he knew that it was impossible for his father-in-law to do this, Jia Liu decided to go out and say hello to the people in charge of his own hall first, so that each hall would have an idea in mind, so as to avoid announcing the fall of the Qing Dynasty.
Then a strong-willed man came over from his mouth, King Qin.
The notice has been sent out a long time ago. Choosing to hold the meeting in Luoyang is also convenient for the heads of each hall to arrive as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it would take at least a month for them to come to the capital.
It was already the 19th day of the first lunar month when the special train arrived in Luoyang. It was delayed for several days, mainly because Jia Liu often summoned officials from prefectures and counties along the way to talk to him. He also went to Baoding to inspect the urban construction of Baoding, inspected the Baoding Military Academy, and inspected the direct
After being assigned to the Provincial Highway Project, I went to Luoyang with Yang Jingsu, the Governor of Zhili.
Zhili's industrial and commercial construction, transportation construction, and urban construction were basically implemented according to the program drawn up by Jia Liu when he was in office, and the overall effect was basically satisfactory to him.
For example, Baoding City, which was originally full of feces, now has paved sewers, built a large number of public toilets, carried out a lot of greening, and planted trees on both sides of the main roads, giving the city a completely new look, basically on par with the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.
The old appearance of the city. With the process of industrialization, five or six-story residential buildings may appear in Baoding in ten years. The first ones will be made of cement, so that Jia Liu can see with his own eyes the high-rise buildings that he had longed for before his death.
The "Da Qing Daily" published an article in the first two issues of Overseas News, saying that a man named Pingyuan Hanai in Japan had developed a device that could generate electricity. By hand-cranking it, a glass bottle could emit lightning-like lightning.
It's bright and lasts a long time.
The article said that this kind of power generation device made people very curious after it came out. It was very popular among the wealthy people of Japan. They bought many of them for decoration. At night, just crank the wooden handle to make the bottle light up, which is quite interesting.
When Jia Liu started to read this article, he just glanced at it, but soon moved his eyes to read it carefully again, and finally analyzed that the principle of this thing is similar to that of a hand-cranked generator, but it may be an electrostatic storage device, so
Bottles are like lanterns.
If we can import a few units of this equipment and study them, and then provide the basic principles of the circuit ourselves, and use them with steam engines, we may not be able to produce electric lights.
Therefore, I specially instructed the Ministry of Industry to send people to Japan to purchase this kind of luminous bottle.
If this kind of power-generating device were really based on the principle of a hand-operated generator, it would undoubtedly make the electric light come out ahead of schedule.
It will also lay the foundation for electricity science in China.
In my lifetime, lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs will no longer be a fantasy.
I hope it's not a trick done by Japanese alchemists.
After the inspection in Baoding, Jia Liu specifically emphasized to Yang Jingsu, Governor of Zhili, that Zhili must be at the forefront of the country's construction, be a leader, and become a model for urban and road construction across the country.
He was also happy to ask Asiha to draft an edict to the cabinet, requesting the cabinet to publish the document in various places, and requiring various places to organize inspection groups to Baoding for on-the-spot inspections, thus setting off a trend of "learning from Zhili in construction, and learning from Baoding in civilization".
In this conservative and decadent era, there are still great benefits to exercising, as long as the emperor Jia Liu likes it, and uses his preference as a hard standard for official promotion, a one-size-fits-all kind, the power of the bureaucratic group for the sake of interests
It cannot be underestimated either.
Jia Liu was also generous with rewards for the meritorious officials in the construction of Zhili. He even awarded Yang Jingsu, a member of his team when he was serving in Zhili, a pair of golden feathers, an internal minister, and the Taibao of the Crown Prince of Jin. This was a full honor.
No title was awarded because the title system needs to be adjusted.
With Lao Yang's contribution, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, he had to give people a count.
Regarding the question of whether his surname was Zhu or Ai, and whether the Qing Dynasty would perish or not, Jia Liu had a special conversation with Lao Yang.
I was embarrassed to say it at first, after all, it was a bit embarrassing, and it was Lao A who did it for him as a test.
Lao Yang's answer was clear and neat: "It doesn't matter what the emperor's last name is. What's important is that the emperor can always lead me. Otherwise, I can only lead 30 million Zhili soldiers and civilians to Luo!"
With Lao Yang's heartfelt statement, Jia Liu couldn't help but feel relieved. On the way, he and Lao Yang had an in-depth discussion about the revolution in the nine southern provinces.
The monarch and his ministers came to a common conclusion, that is, to capture the thief first, capture the king first. As long as the pseudo-president Le Erjin is killed, the so-called Southern Alliance Army will inevitably fall apart.
"After you say hello to them, you can work in Zhili for another one or two years to straighten out the affairs of Zhili and consolidate them. Then you can go back to the cabinet and share more of my responsibilities."
Jia Liu happily gave Lao Yang a further promise.
Lao Yang was naturally very happy about this, and he hesitated for a moment and asked: "I'm going up, who's coming down?"
Jia Liu didn't give a clear answer, he just smiled.
The old Api laughed so hard that he couldn't help but insist on the idea that Asiha must hit wherever the emperor pointed out, otherwise there was no guarantee that he would not be replaced by Yang Jingsu.
After the special train crossed the Yellow River, Henan Governor Xu Yucheng and Wang Pu, the former Henan Commander-in-Chief and current Commander-in-Chief of the Sixth Army, waited at the dock on behalf of Henan's military and political dignitaries.
In order to actively demonstrate the achievements of Henan's reform and the new atmosphere of officials to His Majesty the Emperor, Xu Yucheng specially mobilized the officials and gentry in Luoyang, Kaifeng, and Zhengzhou to raise funds to build a palace for His Majesty the Emperor.
Considering the principle of not wasting, we renovated the palace that Qianlong built when he passed through Luoyang on his way to the south of the Yangtze River. The total cost was more than 400,000 taels.
After calculating the accounts, there is still some profit.
Jia Liu went ashore and rested for a while before ordering him to set off. He also specifically asked the security chief Wang Sixi to call Xu Futai, and Admiral Wang also boarded the special train.
"My special train is a bit small and the space is not big enough. You can squeeze in. Anyway, we are almost arriving in Luoyang."
The carriage that could only accommodate three people now contains the emperor Jia Liu, the prime minister and deputy minister Asiha, the governor-general Yang Jingsu, plus the governor of Henan and the admiral of the Sixth Army. The space must be small, especially when His Majesty the Emperor occupies
Halfway through, the scene can be imagined.
But the faces of the four officials were all filled with smiles from the bottom of their hearts, and they were all proud to squeeze in with His Majesty the Emperor.
At this moment, they were not even willing to go down and sit on the eight-carriage sedan chair.
First, he listened to Xu Yucheng and Wang Pu's report on Henan's political and military work. After Jia Liu gave some instructions, he changed the topic: "I have no other purpose in going to Luoyang this time. I just want to vaccinate you."
Xu Yucheng hurriedly bowed slightly: "What is this vaccination your Majesty is talking about?"
Jia Liu tapped his index finger on the table: "I'm just going to give you a thorough explanation in advance so that you know what's going on so you don't end up in the wrong line."
"this?"
Xu Yucheng was shocked, but he really didn't know what His Majesty the Emperor meant. He hesitated and thought it would be better to ask clearly, so he bit the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me for being stupid. What do you mean by what Your Majesty said?"
"Um,"
Jia Liu nodded, Xu Yucheng had to say it even without asking him.
"The four governors of Leerjin, Li Shiyao, Yade, and Ening sent a telegram to the whole country half a month before the border was closed, saying that I was not a descendant of Duduo, the prince of Yu at the beginning of the country, and that I was a thief like Qianlong, so they called on the soldiers and civilians of the country to rise up and crusade.
I, you should know this."
Wang Pu, the admiral of the Sixth Army, said hurriedly: "As smart as I am, how can I not see that this is a rumor that slanders His Majesty and slanders His Majesty's pure bloodline!"
"Yes, this is definitely slander! Facts speak louder than words. Your Majesty is wise, intelligent, wise and mighty. He led our army and people of the Qing Dynasty to restore their true origins and regain the country and the country from the thief Chen Jialuo. This can be said to be a great achievement in reinventing the Qing Dynasty."
Henan Lao Xu was obviously excited and said with a trembling voice, "Anyone with a little bit of brains knows that the rumors about the four thieves electrifying are confusing right and wrong. It's a joke. It's a joke. If even the emperor who recreated the Qing Dynasty is a fake, then our Qing Dynasty
It’s better to die!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Sixth Emperor across from him let out a surprised "Huh", and then excitedly grasped his trembling fists: "Old Xu, this is what you said, I didn't force you!"
