After the First Industrial Revolution, the overall strength of the Western world far surpassed that of the Qing Dynasty at that time.
The Qing Dynasty afterwards was like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
These things that future generations know, he also knows.
But Yongqi didn't know that.
"..." Yongqi was somewhat disappointed and angry. He turned and strode away, but when he reached the door, he choked up and said, "My son is going abroad to see what the outside world is like!"
"Of course, if you have the ability to conquer a foreign land, I can provide you with weapons and ammunition!"
Sherry meant it sincerely.
Yongqi paused for a moment, then left.
However, Sherry was already planning when to ascend the throne.
The self-reference "this palace" is really not as pleasant to the ear as "I, the emperor".
So, at the grand court assembly the next day, the court officials waited for the emperor to uphold justice.
What awaited them was the emperor's plan to take some talented young men on an incognito visit to the countryside to observe the people's lives.
Just as the court officials were about to kneel and beg the emperor to rescind his decree, they learned that the emperor himself had packed his bags and set off.
Some people couldn't sit still any longer and tried to send messages to Emperor Qianlong.
Aside from expressing shock and anger through his eyes, Emperor Qianlong could do nothing else.
Those clowns, remembering that the late emperor and his mother were both paralyzed, and thinking of the princes and nobles, all quieted down.
This time, Sherry's spirit spread out like a large umbrella!
Pay close attention to the movements of those court officials.
It's tiring, but the effects of this practice are just as good as deliberate meditation.
Taking the opportunity, Sherry monitored the situation while simultaneously cultivating.
During this period, some court officials gradually left the court.
Sydney initiated the system of female officials.
Meanwhile, scientific expeditions were launched for three consecutive years.
In the first year, the focus will be on cracking down on those who steal and sell exam questions.
The following year, the focus was on cracking down on the buying and selling of official positions.
In the third year, the answer will be randomly generated!
The talent she wants, of course, only counts if she selects it.
During this time, Yongqi's letters gradually changed from resentment to surprise, and then to heaviness!
Sherry arranged for some new students and weapons to be sent to him.
Yongqi probably didn't expect her to be serious, so he accepted it.
And some of the people who went out with him have also returned.
Sherry gave them important positions, but they were all under the control of her people.
As for weapons, they are in my own hands every day.
We agreed that we wouldn't move until we achieved results.
Many court officials, especially the Manchu nobles, were filled with resentment.
After all, Sydney is helping more and more impoverished students, including Manchus, Han Chinese, and Mongolians.
All industries!
Including manufacturing, animal husbandry, agriculture, industry... all developing in an orderly manner.
She vigorously developed agriculture and built water conservancy projects, with irrigation systems spreading throughout the country, so that people no longer had to worry about suffering from hunger and being forced to leave their homes due to drought.
With a significant increase in grain production, people no longer have to worry about food and clothing, and the birth rate is rising year by year.
At the same time, she actively encouraged commercial development, reduced commercial taxes, established commercial markets, and promoted trade between different regions.
Maritime trade also flourished, with Qing Dynasty merchant ships sailing to distant countries and bringing back abundant goods and wealth.
Foreigners thousands of miles away gradually realized that the Qing Dynasty had more than just smooth silk and exquisite ceramics; its mysteries were gradually being unveiled.
Since Yongqi left, Shirley has gradually brought her smallpox vaccine, glass, cement, skincare products, and cosmetics into the public eye.
Glass is used to plunder the pockets of the powerful and wealthy, while cement is used to build bridges, roads, and dams...
There are also some special talents who use the skills passed down from their ancestors to find water sources and dig wells.
Alternatively, we could change the water source to prevent drought!
Some clever ministers got rich as a result!
We have always had trade cooperation with overseas countries.
Of course, those who dabble in opium should be permanently blacklisted!
Kill them all if you see them once!
This includes public opinion, opera, and storytelling.
Everywhere you look, there are accusations that foreign countries covet us and are planning to do this or that to our people.
Two-legged sheep, human experimentation... opium was a pathfinder.
As people's lives get better and better, they become too lazy to care who sits in the seat of authority.
Especially for the Han people, the Manchu emperors were unhappy but they still lived their lives, didn't they?
Of course, there are also some who cause trouble under the banner of the irreconcilable conflict between the Manchus and the Han.
Sherry, who was content with her life, didn't bother with it.
Those who raised their banners and started an uprising should be killed.
Divide and split is unacceptable, no matter who it is!
In recent years, public opinion has been rife with intermarriage among the Manchu, Mongol, and Han ethnic groups.
"What do you mean by 'Manchus, Mongols, and Han Chinese are one family'..."
"What 'everyone's a soldier, protecting our common home'...?"
"What about preventing barbarians and foreigners from splitting the Qing Dynasty?"
"Anyone who tries to divide the nation has ulterior motives, and anyone who instigates internal strife is a traitor!"
Add to that the miserable state of neighboring Japan and Annam, ravaged by opium.
And the severe crackdown on opium by Russia to the north!
The people all know that that thing is not only harming their families, but also their country, shattering their peaceful and happy lives.
Even state-built libraries and propaganda posters on the walls repeatedly emphasize:
Whoever encourages you to use opium and smoke opium is trying to ruin you and make you childless!
Opium can even cause impotence in men, infertility in women, premature death in children, and leave the elderly in a state of semi-death.
Anyone smuggling opium is encouraged to report it; the reward is substantial.
Anyone who sees someone acting suspiciously is encouraged to report them; the reward is substantial.
...
The effects are immediate!
There are many Han Chinese, and many talented people in all walks of life.
