The disarmament of Zuo Zongtang and Dong Liang has been initially completed. The Hunan Army, Huai Army and Chu Army have been completely integrated to become the Qing army. The ten generals were also recommended by Zuo Zongtang, and Guan Xuqing personally decided to seize them, respectively, Liu Mingchuan, Nie Shicheng, Lu Yiwei, Dong Liang, Wu Ping, Wu Guang, Chen Heng, Wan Tianjie, Chen Danyang and Pan Dongmin. These were all young generals who received Western military education. They were stationed in Yunnan, Guangdong, Dalian, Shandong, Heilongjiang, Fujian, Jiangsu, Tianjin, Mongolia and Gansu. The army uniformly purchased all kinds of German equipment. At that time, the army was close to the world level. It was claimed to be armed to the teeth.

Schools in various places have also started, and students have come in a crowd. I heard that after graduation, they can become teachers. The court subsidizes teachers for five taels of silver every year, so the whole family doesn’t have to go hungry.

As the saying goes, if you have something to do, the subordinates will follow it. The governors and governors from all over the country have long heard that the young emperors are enthusiastic about Westernization, and they send telegrams to please the emperor. For example, Sichuan Reconstruction Bureau, Guangdong Arms Bureau, and Qing Daily News, a Westernization storm broke out in the whole country.

The establishment of the Qing Daily newspaper attracted Guan Xuqing's interest, yes. Establish a newspaper to let the people of the world understand the Qing Dynasty and the world. Before, the mountains were high and the emperors were far away, and all the governors were overlords, and officials protected each other. The people had nowhere to seek justice... If the newspaper was established and the true side was presented to me, those governors should also be more restrained.

When I saw that the person who started the report was Zheng Guanying. This person was the chief officer of the Shanghai Weaving Layout organized by Li Hongzhang, and also served as the Shanghai Telegraph Bureau.

"Li Hongzhang, draft an order." Guan Xuqing said.

"Zhe." Li Hongzhang held his brush and waited.

"Zheng Guanying immediately set up the Qing Dynasty Daily Office and serve as the chief office. The newspaper name is set as . I pardon you and others can speak freely, but the authenticity of the content must be guaranteed. I must use the newspaper to let the people of the Qing Dynasty understand what the world looks like, and what the Qing Dynasty looks like in the world. The disadvantages of the Qing Dynasty can also be written out, without any concerns about offending others. I will never blame others for saying that. After the Qing Dynasty Daily is released, it will be given to the local people for free. The time limit is one year, and I will allocate 10 million taels of silver to you. You must do it within three months, and the Qing Dynasty Daily will be spread throughout the country."

"Your Majesty, the national treasury is now empty. Is it too much to spend 10 million taels to run a newspaper?" Li Hongzhang raised his head and asked.

"When did I ever do a loss-making business?" Guan Xuqing pointed to the heavy snow outside the window and continued, "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. This snow is a good sign. Look at the taxes and silver sent by each province in two months. It is much more than this snowflake."

Li Hongzhang looked confused and looked at the snow floating outside the window, and his heart was blank.

Because the Qing Dynasty's financial system was extremely outdated, taxation was handled by local government offices. The interception was intercepted at all levels and handed over to the Ministry of Revenue.

However, this year, since the Qing Dynasty Daily was opened in various places, it was not easy for the yamen to intercept it. The newspaper clearly wrote the tax collection situation of local yamen officials and held the emperor's imperial edict, so they could not beat or scold them.

"Governor, look. Since the newspaper came out, how much tax we collected, he was faster than our memorials, so he sent it to the capital directly. We have no oil or water at all. There are senior officials and young people. With the salary of the court, how can we live this life?" said Xu Minghua, the governor of Hangzhou.

"Haha, our little emperor is hateful. Put your eyes in front of us. Don't think about taxes, pay them as much as possible. In the future, you can keep some magic in your work, otherwise I will not be able to protect you. Last year, I was forced to buy the treasury bonds of our Qing bank, 10,000 taels of silver. Now I can't cash in, you are much happier than me." said Zhejiang Governor Chen Tao.

"Oh, the emperor also bought 1,000 taels. Do you think this emperor is really only eleven years old?" Xu Minghua said in pain.

“…”

In March of the eighth year of Guangxu, the national tax revenue was paid in full. The Ministry of Revenue calculated and confirmed that it was 370 million taels of silver. Because the people were encouraged to open factories and go to business, the people were enthusiastic with the support and stimulation of the court. This was helpful to this year's tax revenue, but the main thing was that there was no layer of interception. It seemed that the treasury could finally have a little surplus this year.
