    Zhang Jian was much luckier than his teacher Weng Tonghe. Emperor Guangxu was under house arrest and Weng Tonghe was also driven back to his hometown. However, Zhang Jian came to Nanjing first. When Emperor Guangxu was rescued, he was appointed as a third-rank official.  In this negotiation, there was actually no one available in Nanqing, and no one volunteered. In the end, the job fell on Zhang Jian.  Zhang Jian actually didn¡¯t want to come. Although he was a scholar, he still advocated violent solution to the ¡®throne¡¯ issue.  He was disdainful of the peace talks in front of him. From inside, he clearly saw Long Hao's 'conspiracy'.  This alchemy king has really bad thoughts!  He prevented the two imperial courts from having a decisive battle, and instead pushed the two emperors to the negotiating table through public opinion This was a disguised form of telling the world that both emperors were legitimate!  Where is this going to put Lord Guangxu?  Does this mean that the Qing Dynasty will actually be divided?  This person has a heart that can be killed!  The longer the peace talks went on, the more the two emperors ruled across the river, it became an established fact.  ¡°In that case, our Qing Dynasty will actually be destroyed!  ¡­ ¡­ Zhang Jian had a glimpse of part of Long Hao¡¯s thoughts, but there was nothing he could do about it.  During the peace talks, the only thing he could do was to make several unreasonable demands, intending to anger Li Hongzhang and mess up the peace talks.  "However, after Li Hongzhang went through several ups and downs, he was so profound in his city government and cultivation. In his eyes, Zhang Jian's methods were as childish as the naughty tricks of a naughty boy, so he laughed them off.  Li Hongzhang's "Tai Chi" move made Zhang Jian's moves feel like hitting marshmallows, and there was no chance to ruin the peace talks.  Thinking about it, Li Hongzhang has participated in so many international peace talks and has rich experience.  It was definitely not something that Zhang Jian, a fledgling and slightly immature person, could handle!  The result of the negotiation cannot be decided in one meeting.  But when Zhang Jian left Kaifeng Mansion, he already knew that the tone could not be changed, that is, Emperor Xuantong and Emperor Guangxu.  Under Long Hao's deliberate rendering, they were all orthodox and legitimate emperors. ?????? Or, in other words, ¡®preparing the emperor¡¯!  During the peace talks between the Northern and Southern Qing Dynasties, Long Hao held a speech in Kaifeng Mansion. He said to the people: "In the world, the development trend of countries is democracy. Whether it is a constitutional monarchy or a federal republic, it is inseparable from 'democracy'.  'Two words! This is my understanding of democracy. Democracy means putting the people first and letting the people be the masters of the country! In my heart, I hope that China will no longer have an emperor. But considering historical reasons, the Qing Dynasty ruled China for two hundred years.  Over the years, everyone has become accustomed to it, so you can¡¯t just say you don¡¯t want it. There has to be a process! This time there are two emperors, one in the south and the other in the north. I think it is a good opportunity.  Taking this opportunity, we, the Chinese people, can be the family and the masters for once, and jointly decide whether the future emperor of this country will be Guangxu or Xuantong" Long Hao's words made it clear that, regardless of Guangxu and Xuantong,  Regardless of age or seniority, everyone has to "compete for jobs."  There must be a charter for competitive employment, and this charter will be determined in the subsequent "peace talks" meeting.  By the time Zhang Jian and Li Hongzhang met three more times.  It wasn¡¯t until June 20th that the regulations for ¡®electing the emperor¡¯ were finalized.  The charter stipulates: Greater China is divided into twenty-three voting areas according to the current layout.  Each voting area corresponds to the original province: Zhili, Fengtian, JilinGuangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou.  The initial voting period is set according to Long Hao¡¯s suggestions.  It's a year.  Of course, Li Hongzhang and Zhang Jian reached an agreement on this point, that is, one year is too long!  How can a country as big as China go without an emperor for a year?  However, due to Long Hao's strength, Li Hongzhang and Zhang Jian once again remained silent.  With their IQ, they have long understood that instead of having the energy to question Long Hao now, it is better to understand the voting regulations thoroughly so that their master can be "elected" as emperor.  The one-year period seems short to Long Hao.  But it doesn¡¯t matter. According to the regulations, the ¡®Emperor¡¯ will probably still have difficulty giving birth after one year, and it will be postponed at that time.  ¡°There is a basis for saying that the postponement is based on the rigid rules of this election.  Long Hao invited senior British legal scholars to formulate the regulations. After translation, the rules and regulations are as thick as a dictionary!  But if the essence is extracted, the condensed ¡®election conditions¡¯ will be as follows.  First, one ¡®big vote¡¯ in one voting area will get twelve votes.The emperor with 100,000 votes is the new emperor of Greater China; Second, each large vote must consist of at least 100,000 valid votes to form the electoral basis.  That is to say, in each voting area, the number of natural persons participating in the voting must not be less than 100,000, and which emperor gets the most votes, then his name will be recorded on the 'big vote' of this voting area; The third and most important thing is  The important point is that there are hard and fast rules for valid votes, and you can't just pull in anyone who can breathe to vote.  The owner of a valid ballot must meet at least the following conditions: alive and passing the election examination.  What is the electoral examination?  What is the test for?  ¡°It¡¯s not the Eight-Part Part Essay anyway. Otherwise, the total number of scholars in China would probably not be enough to reach 100,000. Moreover, the ¡®Eight-Part Part Scholars¡¯ with rigid ideas are not good voters.  The test is not difficult. As long as you know 500 Chinese characters, make a set of test papers prepared by Stanford University in the United States, and run five kilometers without fainting, you will be qualified.  This level of difficulty in passing the qualification can be achieved easily even in the United States by just pulling out a person who can breathe, not to mention in the UK.  Therefore, the draft charter is reasonable and reasonable in the opinion of British legal experts.  But, is it really reasonable?  Although Li Hongzhang, who understood the people's livelihood situation, remained silent, he cursed Long Hao half to death in his heart.  Do you know 500 Chinese characters?  Oh my God, not to mention finding 100,000 people in each district, even in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where there are a lot of wealthy and well-educated people, I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t get them all, right?  Since there are not enough votes, there are no valid votes and no valid votes.  If the ownership of the 'big votes' in each voting area cannot be determined, the emperor will naturally have difficulty in giving birth!  Zhang Jian did not realize this as quickly as Li Hongzhang, but after he understood the situation clearly, he faced Emperor Guangxu's questioning.  I couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.  "Your Majesty, even after one year, I'm afraid this election won't be completed!" "Why? Didn't the charter come out? As long as I get twelve votes, the throne can be returned to its original owner!" "But,  There are not enough valid votes.¡± ¡°Huh? I have read the charter and I think we can¡¯t even call out 100,000 people to vote?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not difficult to call out 100,000 people.  It¡¯s too difficult to read!¡± Zhang Jian did not obtain the statistical value of China¡¯s illiteracy rate of 99%, but this did not prevent him from making an accurate judgment on the cultural status of the Chinese population.  Almost at the same time, Empress Dowager Cixi also received a report from Li Hongzhang in Beijing.  She yelled: "Are we going to drag this on forever? What good will this do to Long Hao and Austria-Hungary? Okay. Do they want to wait until the little bastard Guangxu recruits people and creates a climate, and then deal with the Ai family? Li Aiqing  , you are going to expose Long Hao's sinister intentions to the newspaper, go, go now! "The power of newspapers to guide public opinion, even for Cixi who lives deep in the palace.  I have heard about it now.  No, there are several newspapers in the capital that serve as Cixi¡¯s mouthpieces. However, their scale and reputation are too small and they have little influence for the time being.  "Compared with Empress Dowager Cixi's resentment, Emperor Guangxu did a very good job.  He said to Zhang Jian: "Isn't it a year? Let people declare that all our people in the Qing Dynasty must read and be literate, and they must pass the 'dog' exam!" "Uh, it's togol. The English abbreviation is national quality.  Improve your teaching" "Of course I know, but the barking of 'dog' is more friendly." Not to mention the south and the north, how do an old woman and a young man understand the "election charter", they are around Long Hao.  There are also people who don¡¯t understand this ¡®emperor election¡¯, thinking it¡¯s Long Hao taking off his pants and farting, and it¡¯s unnecessary!  There are definitely not many people in this world who dare to speak frankly to Long Hao, and there happens to be one in China: Princess Ashley.  "Hao, the Qing court has no troops. You and I should join forces and directly depose those two useless emperors. Wouldn't it be better for you to be the new emperor? There must be some kind of election. Do you want to see the two emperors playing monkey tricks?  "Ai Shili didn't understand very much. The internal and external conditions for Long Hao to become emperor were all in place. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was corrupt and the great powers had no time. Should such a good opportunity be wasted?  "Of course it's okay for me to be the emperor, but in the current environment, it's not the best choice!" Long Hao hugged Ashley, who was naked and had no trace of fat on her body, and answered with a smile while raising and lowering his hands.  road.  What is China¡¯s ¡®era environment¡¯?  Small farmer economy, illiteracy among the people, official corruption, poverty &nbspAlthough the land and population rank among the top in the world, these precious resources have not brought benefits to the Chinese nation, but have become a heavy burden.  Suppose Long Hao used force to depose Guangxu and Xuantong, then killed the Empress Dowager Cixi, and tore up all the unequal treaties signed by the Qing government. Although there is no danger in doing so, it also has no benefit.  There are even some disadvantages and troubles.  After all, the Qing court is still orthodox. In the eyes of foolish women and foolish men, it is still the sky above their heads. If they want to change the "sky", turmoil below is inevitable.  Due to the lack of grassroots management personnel, such social unrest will inevitably bring disaster and suffering to the people, which is something Long Hao does not want to see.  Killing Cixi, who brought disaster to the country and the people, and tearing up unequal treaties would certainly gain prestige and make the whole people applaud, but it made at least two mistakes.  First, it hurts the spirit of the contract and makes a bad start. Questioning the integrity will have an impact on Long Hao's foundation of "honest business"; Second, it takes the blame for the Manchus, and whoever signs the treaty will be punished.  Responsible to the end, Long Hao did this, which undoubtedly wiped Manqing's butt and made him smell bad.  It was precisely based on the above considerations that Long Hao decided on the strategy of letting the two emperors "fight in the ring".  The Manchu Qing Dynasty will definitely withdraw from the stage of history, but now, the only way to recycle it is to use it as waste.  ¡°I don¡¯t expect you, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to be able to clean up this mess in China, but it is absolutely impossible to just pat your butt and leave easily, and to escape to the outside world and enjoy happiness abroad with the looted people¡¯s wealth and wealth.  Even if it¡¯s waste, it still needs to use its residual heat.  There are many shortcomings in the decadent Manchu Qing Dynasty.  But one thing is still good.  ??That is its bureaucratic network.  No matter how greedy the officials are, as long as the imperial court does not fall, they still have certain control over their jurisdiction.  The governor-general is in charge of the province, the county officials are in charge of the county, and the gentry is in charge of the poor people Such a layer-by-layer management relationship will not rot in a short time, and Long Hao cannot replace it.  Simply put it to good use.  There is no absolute "evil" thing in the world. As long as it is used properly, the devil can also emit the aura of an angel.  Long Hao intends to use this bureaucratic network to spread education for all.  As mentioned before, China¡¯s rise depends on the joint efforts of most Chinese people.  And what¡¯s the basis for hard work?  It is knowledge!  To put it more simply, you have to be literate, otherwise you are illiterate, and if you don¡¯t engage in scientific research, even if someone teaches you step-by-step alchemy, you won¡¯t be able to understand it!  As soon as the election regulations are published.  It was to force the two emperors to work hard to promote education.  The current generation of Chinese people are still very superstitious about imperial power. This kind of promotion is a hundred times more efficient than Long Hao's intervention as a person other than Long Hao.  Otherwise, if Long Hao were to take money to go to a remote mountainous area to invite school-age children to read and learn, he would probably be beaten up as a human trafficker!  Long Hao had such good intentions that he designed the emperor as a 'prop' to serve the people of the world, which is the only one in history.  You must give a thumbs up.  Two emperors fought for the throne.  Sure enough, he fell into Long Hao's 'plan'.  Since July, two teams with clear banners have entered the 23 voting areas.  The leaders of the team were all high-ranking officials of rank seven or above, and their official uniforms blinded the eyes of ordinary people everywhere.  Some people read newspapers, but most people are busy with their daily lives and still don¡¯t know about newspapers.  But regardless of whether they read the newspaper or not, they all knew those high-ranking officials, so when the high-ranking officials had something to say, they stopped what they were doing and listened carefully.  "Those who are literate should stand up first. If you pass the exam, you will be members of the imperial court! You will eat the royal food!" "It doesn't matter if you are illiterate. As long as you have children under six years old at home, you can come to the threshing floor and take the test tomorrow.  "Those who pass the exam will be rewarded for being a scholar." "In your village, there will be a school. What is it? It's a big private school! There is no fee for studying, as long as you complete the homework assigned by the teacher every day, you will get copper coins!"  , you can come and sign up! If you pass the dog care test in the end, you will be rewarded with a hundred silver coins!" "Master Guan, my family has been raising dogs for generations, no need to take the test, I can drag all ten or eight Tibetan mastiffs smoothly!  "Go away, the exam was introduced from abroad to prepare for the election of the emperor! It has nothing to do with your humble career!" "Hey, does the emperor want to be elected too?" "Ahem, there is a notice on the wall.  , I won¡¯t say much more. If you can understand it, go and see it yourself. If you don¡¯t understand it, just listen nearby. SomeoneSpecifically recited and explained.  " Dialogues like this are constantly happening in the land of China. According to Long Hao's regulations, both emperors can send people to 'canvass votes' and cultivate voters. But they can only use guidance and cannot force the will of voters. Otherwise,  If it is seen by Long Hao and Ai Shili's secret inspection team, then points will be deducted to a certain amount, and you will no longer want the "big vote" in a voting area.  The bureaucracy is the most inefficient 'public service group'? Wrong, then it depends on who is driving it? With the imperial power at the top, and the massive funds provided by Long Hao, the campaign to attract votes has really spread to every county, town, and county across the country.  Rural Although according to the regulations, a voting area only needs 100,000 valid votes, but who made the two emperors' "campaign" teams go down? Competition dictates that if you open a school, I will definitely set up a training camp.  Class The healthy competition between the two parties has led to more and more people joining the activity of "Literate to earn a scholar, trust a dog to win an official position", and the activity has become more and more popular. Illiterate farmers all know that if they have children at home,  As long as you are not deaf or mute, you will be sent to a school that trains dogs. Not only will you be guaranteed three meals, but you will also receive copper coins if you complete your homework well. This is a good thing that I have never heard of since ancient times!  ? If not, give birth to one as soon as possible! In fact, there is no limit on the age of voters in the charter, but those officials are so smart. If they are illiterate, it is certainly better to raise a child.  It¡¯s easier to train an adult. Moreover, if you ¡®arrest¡¯ an adult into a school and cut off his livelihood, the daily subsidy will be quite a lot. Although there are well-meaning merchants who are sponsoring it, you can save money.  So, if you put all the savings together, wouldn¡¯t it still fall into your own pocket? Therefore, in the 23 voting districts, there are nearly 10,000 schools, and 99% of them are between the ages of five and ten.  Children. This situation was expected by Long Hao. The 'dog care' training course he prepared was originally designed for children under ten years old, because the current Chinese compatriots are already stereotyped.  It is difficult to cultivate. Only children are China¡¯s hope for the future! Let¡¯s not mention this ¡°literacy campaign¡± that is the most extensive and influential in China¡¯s history. Let¡¯s take a look at the United States since the Panama Canal explosion.  , the United States has fallen into an unprecedented predicament since its founding. Its situation can be summarized as follows: First, its naval power was destroyed by 70%, which caused a chain reaction not only in the decline of national deterrence.  It has also attracted many creditors. These creditors include domestic and overseas capitalists, both private groups and state agencies. As the saying goes, you don¡¯t have to worry about debt, but it also depends on whether your business conditions are good. The United States is now.  It looks like a mess that is about to collapse. When you see that the United States is going to be over at any time, why don't those creditors flock to it?
