"Lao Tzu just hit, how to drop?"

Guo Ye pursed his mouth and shouted, "You guys should be beaten!" Originally, I didn't want to embarrass you, you do your learning, I do my foreign affairs, and the well water does not violate the river water, but you have to interfere, ****, I don't teach you a good lesson, why don't you turn the sky upside down? ”

"Guo Ye, you are presumptuous!"

Prince Gong on the side? I can't stand it anymore, just argue, argue, the speaker is not guilty, you did it in front of the court, and beat the dignified officials and servants until two or three teeth fell out, where is there such a courtier? Where is the law and discipline of the country in the eyes? Where is the royal dignity in the eyes?

"This is the court, how can you be so arrogant? The matter of the telegram can be discussed, at least it must be convincing to everyone, what kind of truth is it that you use force to capture people like this? Bastard thing! ”

Yixin is really angry, his face is pale, and over the years, it can be regarded as a failure in education, this guy has not changed at all from the beginning of knowing him to the present! This is a bandit, except for being able to fight and govern the country, there is not even a little desirable place, more bastard than a bandit!

"Lord, some things can be discussed, and some things must be arbitrary, if even such a thing as opening a telegram will drag on for three or five years, or even more than ten years, then it will not only be the Qing Dynasty, but even the land of China! When the time comes, when the alien iron riders arbitrarily abuse China, you don't regret it! ”

Guo Ye's face remained unchanged, and he replied hatefully. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"You!"

Yixin also knows that opening a telegram is beneficial and harmless, but the court has so many opposing voices, but what to do, he is a political king, even if he is powerful, it is impossible to risk the world's disapproval, right?

At this time, Xu Tong relieved himself, knelt down on the ground with a grunt, and kowtowed: "Queen Mother, Guo Ye insulted me too much, please let the Queen Mother be the master of the ministers, woo woo......"

Xu Tong was so miserable, this beating was extremely pitiful, not only Han Chen, but even Manchen stood up and accused Guo Ye one after another, Guo Ye ignored it, today is today, if you don't pass this excerpt, Lao Tzu will beat you bastards all over again!

Cixi and Ci'an are also full of helplessness, but what to do? You can't press it hard, when the time comes, all the courtiers will strike you, what will you do? However, just punish Guo Ye like this? Looking at Guo Ye's appearance, he is already so angry that he is smoking, and if he is punished, maybe he will poke out some trouble!

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a duty officer ran up.

"The Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the King of Yizheng, the Governor of Zhili, Zeng Guofan, the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Zuo Zongtang, and the Governor of Huguang, Li Hongzhang, jointly wrote the book!"

Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang!

Three local officials, at the same time, these are all Xinjiang ministers! When the joint name is written, it is rare!

"Hand me their folds!"

Yixin wishes there was something now, first cover up the current matter, divert the attention of the ministers, and keep making trouble, but there is no benefit.

"Huh!"

The officer on duty hurriedly handed over the fold.

Yixin opened the fold and looked at it, almost fainted, wiped it, what happened today? It's all in one piece! Yixin's hands were a little trembling, so unlucky, you said that Zeng Guofan and others couldn't play when they couldn't, but they rushed to today! Isn't that adding to the chaos?

"Sixth Master, what did Zeng Guofan and the others do?"

Ci'an asked.

Yixin smiled bitterly and handed over the fold, and replied: "The Empress Dowager of Qi Song, Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, and Li Hongzhang jointly wrote a letter, requesting the imperial court to issue a decree to open mines and factories, encourage industry and commerce, request the opening of telegraphs, and increase the number ......of trading ports."

Again!

Ci'an and Cixi looked at the twists and turns in front of them, constantly rubbing their temples, just now Guo Ye was still alone, this time, there were three helpers, and they were not ordinary helpers, they were all feudal officials, three governors, plus Guo Ye, the governor of Liangjiang, that is the four governors! This weight is heavy enough, and these four people still have the most powerful combat power in the Qing Dynasty, if the four of them really join forces to promote one thing, then they really can't oppose it, the power is too huge!

"Ladies and gentlemen, now Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, and Li Hongzhang have jointly signed a letter, also asking for the opening of a telegram and the opening of mines and factories across the country, but you should talk about it, what should I do?"

Ci'an motioned for the eunuch to pass on the joint transcript and asked.

The court was quiet when it was on the throne, and the three Xinjiang ministers wrote at the same time, which was not an ordinary influence.

"Queen Mother, it is not impossible for Guo Zengzuo Li and others to open a telegram, but has this matter been evaluated? How much does it cost to lay a telegraph line, not to mention anything else, from the capital to Guangzhou, from the capital to Lanzhou, these two lines alone are more than 15,000 miles long, how many lines do you need? How much silver do I need to spend? We don't have a telegraph line in China, we need to buy it from the West, you know, now that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Twist Bandits have just been pacified, the country is in ruins, the treasury is empty, but we can't get much money......"

Wen Xiang is still relatively smart, putting aside the question of whether the telegram should be opened, and pointing the finger directly at the technical level, under such a discussion, as long as Guo Ye can come up with a strong argument, it will be concluded directly, and then the ministers of the court and the central government will have nothing to say.

Yixin was shocked, this is ignored, I heard that the telegraph wire is made of copper wire, and a cable is pulled from the capital to Guangzhou, how many catties of copper do you need? I'm afraid it's an astronomical amount, right? How much copper do domestic copper mines produce in a year?

"Guo Ye, you strongly advocate the opening of the telegram, then you should tell me, how to organize? Where does this money come from? Where does this copper come from? How much money do we have to buy from the West? Where do we have craftsmen who understand telegraphy? ”

Guo Ye smiled secretly in his heart, what Lao Tzu was waiting for was today, why did he board for three days, wasn't it just to wait for Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang to jointly write a book? What he agreed with Zuo Zongtang is that there is a master inside, a master outside, he is in charge of the court, Zuo Zongtang is responsible for contacting the ministers, and now the three governors have signed a joint letter, and he no longer seems to be weak.

"Queen Mother, Lord, this matter is not difficult,"

Guo Ye said in a deep voice, "Actually, just to build a telegraph line, not too much copper is used, according to the Chen's inference, 17,000 catties of copper can be made into telegraph lines at least 500 miles or more, from Guangzhou to Beijing, a total of less than 5,000 li, about 170,000 catties of copper are needed, if zinc and tin are added, then less copper is used......

170,000 catties!
