"That's right, that's exactly the reason," the Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "so I never save anything, except for the expenses in our palace, those outside, build civil engineering, set up factories, emperor, think about it, those errand people have wages, they can make a good life for the family, and when he lives, he has to buy things, and the merchants who have to sell things get money, and we can receive taxes, which is what the emperor said kill two birds with one stone, and kill more with one stone." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"What the emperor said is very true," the emperor nodded, he didn't seem to understand these things, but he first wrote down the words of the queen mother, and then pondered later, and pointed to the large territory in the north and said, "This Russian territory is really too big, and on this map, it is twice as much as China." ”

This one...... How to explain the display of latitude and longitude on the map, in fact, Russia is not as big as it is seen on the map, the Queen Mother also learned the geography of half a bucket of water, but it is not good to say much at this point, nodded, "Indeed, and the Russians' desire for territory is really insatiable, they have caused trouble on the Heilongjiang River before, and in the old year, they still wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, and when we were fighting with Britain and France, we took away the land of Longxing in the northeast, which is really hateful, but fortunately Britain and France were solved quickly at that time, otherwise this Vladivostok." , I'm afraid it's gone. "In fact, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land in the northeast were blackmailed by the Russians, bullying the Chinese who had never seen the world, and empty white teeth were blackmailed away from a large area of land," but the emperor you have also seen," Empress Dowager Cixi pointed to the northeast, north, northwest and large areas of bordering Russia, "China and Russia are too close." Over the years, the Russians have just suffered defeats like us and are ready to recuperate, but if we are aggressive here and provoke the Russians, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat, and this northern Xinjiang alone is full of smoke, which is enough for us to bear. ”

"What then?" The Emperor asked, worried.

"The emperor doesn't need to worry too much," the Queen Mother clapped her hands and said with a chic smile, "The symbol of the Russian Tsarist royal family is the double-headed eagle, one head to the west and the other to the east, the tsar is even more coveted to the land of Europe, let's make a small fuss, now after all, it is a weak army, so let's bear with it first, don't hurry and be patient, in order to achieve great things, not to mention, now I want to give the Russians a little sweetness." ”

"What's the sweetness?" The Emperor asked with interest.

"I've already asked your sixth uncle to do this." Empress Dowager Cixi smiled mysteriously, "The second year of Tongzhi is the emperor's tenth birthday, if this sweetness is done well, we can also get sweetness, and it will be regarded as your birthday gift," the Empress Dowager said, "Now that the matter of Tongwenguan has been solved, the matter of the imperial examination has not yet arrived, and we have to wait for next year. ”

Prince Gong thoughtfully slowly walked into the military aircraft, Bao Jun had just had a military plane Zhang Jing, proudly cross-legged on the pit to drink tea, saw Prince Gong enter the duty room, and hurriedly went down to the pit to say hello, Wen Xiang and others also stood up, only Jia Zhen bowed slightly, Cao Yuying saw that Prince Gong seemed to be pondering something, so he asked: "What's wrong with the prince today?" ”

Prince Gong shook his head, "It's okay, I saw the Queen Mother today, and I was quite surprised to hear some words," everyone stopped their work and turned their heads to look at Prince Gong, only Jia Zhen half-squinted and motionless, Prince Gong re-said what the Empress Dowager Cixi said to the emperor, and finally said, "I didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so clear about this Western matter, I used to think that the Queen Mother had read a lot, so she knew about ancient and modern things, but I didn't expect that this Western thing, I am afraid that the most proficient person in Western affairs in China is not as good as the Queen Mother." ”

Everyone agreed with Prince Gong's opinion, the Queen Mother only knew it before, everyone thought that the Queen Mother learned in the book, but where did the foreigners know about it now? What's more, the Queen Mother just saw a few ministers of the Military Aircraft Department after the curtain was lowered, Hurd was just a glimpse, not to mention that the curtain was not in the deep palace before, how could she know so many Western stories? Wen Xiang thought thoughtfully, "These days, the Queen Mother often summons Gao Xinkui, could it be that he told the Queen Mother about these foreigners?" ”

Prince Gong shook his head, but Baojun didn't think so, "The prince is also worried, is it really as those rebels said, the queen mother is the reincarnation of the wife of the king of hell?" The words of those people could not be heard, and they did not see any heavenly kings, and they were all dead and could not die anymore. ”

Jia Zhen didn't speak, but listened to a few people chatting, "That's the truth," Cao Yuying nodded, "Our next thing will be difficult." The Russians have always been arrogant, and I am afraid that this matter will take many more twists and turns. ”

"I have to try it, I fooled the Russians about the military purchase before, and they used them as a pretense, and they were originally extremely unhappy," Prince Gong put down the teacup, "Now it's also spending money to buy peace." In an eventful time, don't make any more enemies. (To be continued.) )
