Xiao Letian really missed a great historical opportunity. He had no idea that the UK is currently in a critical period of mutual transformation of internal and external affairs.

In fact, it is clear that the government has huge investments every year, and these investments are very purposeful. The Tories led by Benjamin will put a large amount of investment in foreign expansion when they are in power.

The colonial army is about to be installed in a surrounding area, the port is about to build new forts, and new wars are needed to be launched against foreign countries, etc.... Even support for opposition parties from other countries, secretly funding some rebel troops, etc.

All these require money, they are all gold-swalking monsters, especially the expansion of the navy is a bottomless pit. Even if the empire is rich and unsettling, if you want to upgrade the navy in full, you must be careful in your calculations.

However, in the concept of Gladstone and others, the strength of an empire not only depends on the population but also on the vast territory. It is natural to have more colonies. Everyone knows that dumping raw materials and commodities is important.

But everything has a problem of degree. If you expand outward, you must not forget the internal development!

Look at the chaotic public security in London at this moment. There are countless uneducated children running on the streets. They either sell newspapers, polish leather shoes, or work as laborers in factories.

Some even become thieves and beggars, and their parents are completely unable to provide any help to their children's future, so these children can only die on their own.

Education is a big problem, but what about medical care? What about road construction? What about public health drainage facilities? Needless to say, is the number of deaths in London every year due to typhoid fever and dysentery increasing year by year?

Dirty streets, blocked small waterways, and people can't even drink clean water. Is this really what the Empire of Sun Never Setting wants?

It's time for change. Gladstone's ideal is to pull national policies back from the outward-looking to the right path of focusing on introversion.

The existing colonies cannot expand anymore, and limited funds must be invested in the work of improving people's livelihood.

Especially education is so important. The empire needs more excellent talent reserves, which is the root of Britain's continued prosperity!

At this time, human society did not have the concept of the so-called First Industrial Revolution and the Second Industrial Revolution. These were both analysis and summary of history by later generations.

Only time travelers like Xiao Letian can clearly judge that technological innovation is coming!

However, no one can underestimate the intelligence of the ancients. Although Gladstone and others do not know where the breakthrough point of new technology is, they can realize that technology is brewing breakthroughs.

Commercial competition allows factory owners to improve efficiency and reduce costs, and then develop new technologies and products. Only in this way can they get more and more profits.

However, new industries and new technologies must require more high-quality industrial workers. Xiao Letian can see this clearly. In the future, emerging industries such as electricity, chemical industry, petroleum industry, internal combustion engines, etc. are not something ordinary people can get involved.

All practitioners need rich basic knowledge to base themselves, and then they can discuss professional training and even make innovations in their work.

This is the benefit of compulsory education, the only way to make a strong country, and it is Gladstone's dream of lifelong ideal.

Xiao Letian didn't know that it was precisely because of the emergence of the Chinese nation that the compulsory education system in Britain was earlier than ten years ago, and all this was because of the stimulation brought to the UK by the internal reforms of the Chinese nation.

A small country robbed the world of the first crown to promote compulsory education for all, which made the Empire of Sun-Unsetting very faceless and felt a deep threat.

Gladstone's report moved the queen, and the queen influenced the royal family, which gave rise to a series of cabinet struggles and gave Xiao Letian a room to take advantage of the situation.

Unfortunately, Xiao Letian didn't know all this. If his intelligence network could touch such a core secret, Xiao Letian's courage and appetite would probably have increased exponentially.

Everything was groping in chaos. Although there was a trace of light in front of Xiao Letian's eyes and he had found the right direction, the fog was the fog, and the obstacles that should be there were indispensable.

"Your Majesty! The vanguard cavalry has crossed Downing Street and is now turning into Victoria Avenue. In another fifteen minutes, the golden carriage will reach Buckingham Palace!"

The queen suddenly opened her eyes, "Okay, the rest is almost done, let's go! After all, she is the emperor of China and is worthy of my personal greeting. I'll welcome you at the gate!"

This face is so great that it is so great. As the queen of the British Empire, she really didn't see her standing at the gate to welcome any guests.

This is not only a matter of national strength, but also a matter of seniority. The Queen was only 18 years old ascended the throne. She was already 50 years old at this moment. When he first ascended the throne, the Qing Dynasty was still in the Daoguang period.

There are also generations in the political arena. Now the queen is basically the oldest in the world in political arena. The rulers of all countries hold the etiquette of their younger generations in front of him. There are very few kings who can be the same as hers.

The dressed queen walked out of the Buckingham Palace gate with a scepter in her hand, holding a scepter and supporting the palace guards. At that moment, she exclaimed in surprise.

"Look! Our Queen! Long live the Queen!"

"O God! The queen actually came to welcome the envoys in person. The queen is waiting for the Chinese emperor at the main gate!"

Queen Victoria's reputation was too high. As soon as her figure appeared, the crowd on the street opposite Buckingham Palace suddenly became boiling, and the Queen's roar was everywhere.

Victoria waved her hands gently to the people, and she received even more intense cheers!

"This is my prosperous age, and I will make him more brilliant!" The queen swore proudly in her heart.

At this moment, the vanguard of the Imperial Guards cavalry escorted the envoys and the vanguards had already appeared on the street. A total of 300 cavalrymen led a long team to pass by the streets, and people could even see the dazzling light of the golden carriage in the distance.

The envoy regiment had a very long team. It started from the first cavalry to pull out four or five hundred meters back. There were more than 800 cavalrymen who were guarding the imperial guards alone.

All the guards set up a parade in front of the queen. The officer ordered all the cavalry to draw their swords and put them flat on their chests, and the sharp blades shining in the sky.

Under the bearskin cap are sweat-soaked but extremely proud faces. "The Imperial Guards pay tribute to Her Majesty the Queen!"

Seeing the empire's facade coming, the queen was in a very comfortable mood. She raised her hand to greet these handsome young men.

There were more and more cavalry passing by in front of the queen, until the golden light of the golden carriage appeared in the queen's sight.
