The great emperor of crossing

After receiving the order, Zhang Zhidong started to set off immediately. He felt flattered. In fact, the area he was in was the coastal area, so he also used his limited conditions to try his best to collect information from various countries.

"Let's go to Chang'an City together. I think the emperor will be very excited when he sees you. You can indeed show the emperor your "Pictures of the Sea Kingdom". Our current emperor is a man who knows how to forge ahead. people, so our time has really come."

Wei Yuan was not fully interested in hearing Zhang Zhidong's words, because he knew that he had no way to be an official, otherwise he would have gone to Beijing to catch the exam.

"I won't go with you this time, but you have to bring someone with you, and he is Lin Zexu."

"He is also a talent! It's just that it would be better if you went to see the emperor with me?"

"There is a specialization in the art industry. If everyone goes to be an official, who else will go to see the world? You can just go there, but you can also tell the emperor that if there is a project for foreign envoys, I hope it can let you I will go, I hope to be the first ambassador abroad!"

After hearing this statement, Zhang Zhidong felt embarrassed to say anything more. At this moment, Lin Zexu seemed a little green, as if such a person hadn't started preparing for the exam yet.

"You are also an undergraduate, why are you willing to work in my place?"

"Because you can learn a lot under your lord's hands, things that you can't learn in other places. Although the knowledge I have learned is not related to steel, I have seen many phenomena here, which is enough to show that the empire is still There is hope, so I hope to continue working with adults."

"If this is the case, you will call me Mr. Zhang in the future. Of course, it is better if you are there. In this case, let's go to Chang'an City together. I also want to introduce you directly to the emperor. I can find another way to make you a pillar of the country, and I also hope that you can do all your own things well, so that I don’t need to worry about many things in the future.”

Zhang Zhidong was still a little excited. Anyway, there are still many things to prepare for this time to meet the emperor.

He went straight back to his mansion and began to collect all the books he had accumulated over the years. It turned out that such an official had been studying in this place for a long time.

There are many materials in foreign languages, as well as the industrial research results of various countries. It can be said that with the help of these people, he has obtained all the things related to foreign countries.

"Do you want to bring all these things?"

"Anyway, I'm still a feudal official now, and I have to report on my duties when I go back, so I bring these things with me, and I can give them all to the emperor when I arrive in Chang'an City. In this way, we have not wasted all these years."

The carriage outside the door was ready, but this time it wasn't a carriage. Such a Zhang Zhidong directly got a horse team over, which looked really mighty.

Such a matter was directly spread to Chang'an City, but it caught Zhao Lie's attention.

"Sure enough, he is a literati. I didn't expect to make such a show even if I saw me. But now is the time for employing people. Let's talk about it after seeing him in person."

Zhao Lie still showed restraint at this time, because he was unwilling to do some meaningless things right away when he didn't figure out the truth of the matter. After all, if he made a mistake, it would be like losing a sincere heart officials.

After traveling for half a month, such a cavalry team finally came to Chang'an City.

"If it weren't for the emperor taking the time to build roads, it would probably take several months to walk such a long distance. Chang'an City is really too prosperous, but I can't see anything related to scientific and technological achievements, except for those who have already Beyond available electricity."

Such a cavalry team went directly to the gate of the palace. However, Zhang Zhidong was also very smart. He knew that this was called worrying and would definitely make the emperor feel very angry. Memorial.

"Little brother, please give this thing directly to the emperor. I am Zhang Zhidong."

Such a list went directly into the emperor's side hall.

Zhao Lie, who was full of novelty, directly opened such a list, and he was very surprised by the picture that appeared in front of him.

"It seems that I did not misunderstand such an official. I made a mistake. He moved a library here and told all the ministers in Qinzheng Hall to hurry up and move books."

Zhang Yi felt dumbfounded after hearing such an order. When he walked out, he found a lot of books in front of him.

"I said Master Zhang, what the hell are you doing?"

"Our surname is also Zhang, but this time I gave a big gift to the entire Palace of Qinzheng and the Imperial Palace. These are all the books related to foreign countries that I collected when I was a feudal official, and many of them are We literati have conducted a series of investigations through our own efforts. It can be said that the development of various countries in the world is uneven, so I hope everyone can take a closer look.”

Zhao Lie, who couldn't wait, walked out and appeared in front of everyone.

"Emperor! Why did you come out by yourself?"

When everyone saw the emperor's appearance, they immediately knelt down, especially Zhang Zhidong, who always felt that this was a disrespect in front of the emperor.

"You all get up, everyone should thank Zhang Zhidong for his efforts this time, who is the little brother next to him?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, this is a talented person named Lin Zexu. This time, I originally planned to be him and another person to meet the emperor, but that person felt that he was not suitable to be an official, so he politely declined."

Zhao Lie was also very shocked when he heard about Lin Zexu's appearance. It can be said that he is also a very important talent and an official who can enter the Qinzheng Palace.

"Why didn't you take the imperial examination?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I feel that I still need to practice, so I hope to devote more energy to some industries. This time, Master Zhang Zhidong decided to set up a steel factory, so I hope to come here with Master Zhang!"

"Both of you don't leave tonight. Since you know the whole world very well, tell me directly tonight. No matter what, our empire must definitely catch up."

"If that's the case, why did the emperor exclude us? Why don't we have a meeting tonight, all of us ministers will attend, and Zhang Zhidong and Lin Zexu can just be our teachers."
