Chapter 64 Chapter 18 The old lady's eyes are bright

Yuan Shikai was promoted to the third child in the country, and the first thing he did was...to demand reform. And his steps are much bigger than Kang Youwei's. The reformers lost countless heads just for one reform. Isn't Yuan Shikai afraid of losing his head? But Yuan Shikai, he is always willing to serve the table when the food is cooked. After all the troubles of the Boxers and the bullying of foreign devils from the Eight Kingdoms, the time for reform is completely ripe. It is impossible for the Qing Dynasty to remain unchanged. In short, when Kang Youwei reformed, there were many obstacles, so he was forced to kill the Empress Dowager Cixi.

When Yuan Shikai reformed, it went smoothly. From the Empress Dowager Cixi to the Revolutionary Party, everyone supported him. It is still Kang Youwei's old way. The first step is to abolish the imperial examinations. When Kang Youwei abolished the imperial examinations, his first disciple Liang Qichao was almost beaten to death by the imperial eunuchs.When it was Yuan Shikai's turn, the candidates had already been hacked to pieces by the Boxers, so the imperial examination was already in name only, and no one raised objections, only voices of support. The second step: promote education and build schools.

Now the people of the country have all experienced the power of foreign guns and cannons, and they already know that gods such as Monkey King and Zhu Bajie are unreliable, so this proposal has been passed smoothly, but... to build a school, where will the money come from? So Yuan Shikai launched the third step: develop industries, build factories, build railways, build locomotives... These jobs were all done by Li Hongzhang in his early years. Because of these jobs, Li Hongzhang was named the number one traitor in China by the Boxers. Now it is Yuan Shikai's turn. There was another round of applause.

Industry has brought wealth, and now Yuan Shikai is the richest man in the Qing Dynasty. He has fully accepted Li Hongzhang's original team. When those anxious old scholars came to Yuan Shikai's place, their wages doubled immediately. Everyone was overjoyed, so they immediately worked hard. ——Yuan Shikai is very good at making money. There is a classmate of Tang Shaoyi who is studying abroad named Liang Ruhao. So in Yuan Shikai's place, as long as you are capable and willing to do it, money is absolutely indispensable. With so much money, it was quite easy for Yuan Shikai to make up for his shortcomings by using a little of his strengths to set up a hundred or eighty schools...

Then Yuan Shikai did another thing: the government sent overseas students to go abroad! Empress Dowager Cixi is most worried about this last item. Since a considerable proportion of international students are from Hubei, the Empress Dowager Cixi said worriedly: Hubei is the place to train talents, and what I worry about is also Hubei. This old lady has very bright eyes. We know that the 1911 Revolution is about to break out in Hubei and Wuhan. This old lady can see it right. No wonder she has been able to lie on the dragon chair for many years. , this look, you can't accept it. Compared with Empress Dowager Cixi, Sun Wen's vision is far worse.

Sun Wen, the number one seed player who vowed to kill the Qing Empire, carefully selected the most stable territory in the Qing Dynasty, and started his hard work with twice the result and half the result. With Sun Wen staring at Guangdong and Guangxi, the officials in Guangzhou began to become more and more difficult to do.
