This reception of Longfeng Lou is not recorded in any official history of the Chinese people at all, but the impact of this meeting on the future of the Chinese people is extremely huge. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A huge invisible financial empire has both advantages and disadvantages for the Chinese, and the disadvantages are obvious: once this financial empire is formed, it must be a monopoly, and no bank, company, or enterprise can escape the control of this financial empire in the future.

This elite group will form a truly invisible group of nobles, with vast enough financial resources to subvert the state and provoke wars, suppress all dissent internally, and control wealth that the common people can never imagine.

However, the harmony of yin and yang in all things in the world, and a good will inevitably give rise to a disadvantage, and such a financial trust empire is also beneficial to the rise of the weak Chinese people.

The Chinese led by Xiao Letian will definitely take the road of a large industrial system in the future, that is to say, the Chinese must be able to produce more than eighty percent of the world's heavy industry, light industry, and military products, and only by developing their own industrial system will they not be controlled by others, even if there is a war in the future, they will have an independent industrial system to confront the enemy, and will not be stuck in the neck.

For example, in this battle in the Far East, in the end, the arms reserves of the Chinese people have been completely depleted, and there is still a little ammunition left, but the shells have all been exhausted, and even the ammunition reserves of the Zhiyuan have dropped sharply to only 30%.

In the later stage of the war, Xiao Letian almost gritted his back molars and imported from the United States at a high price, because the sea routes in Europe had been completely controlled by the insidious British, who ostensibly hoped that the Chinese would defeat Tsarist Russia, but they did not want the Chinese to win so easily, and the British wanted to see the scene of both defeats.

Only one seller in the United States can supply them, so the price of arms will go up directly, and the price of many shells will be tripled.

Xiao Letian didn't want to live such a life, he had to develop his own industrial system, especially the military industry.

But all this needs money, a lot of money, hiding the wealth from the people is an ideal state, Xiao Lotian must have a pumping machine to draw funds from the people, he must extract the wealth hidden in the people, mobilization.

Only by concentrating resources to do great things can large-scale heavy industry appear, can we develop the shipbuilding industry, can we build a deep blue fleet, and can we develop basic science...... With such a huge amount of capital investment, it is simply impossible to count on the old model of tax collection to support the army in the past.

The financial system of the medieval state was nothing more than relying on the government to collect money, grain, and merchant taxes, and then the money and goods collected were turned into officials' salaries, military salaries, infrastructure maintenance, and so on...... Finally, see if there is a financial surplus, and if so, you can consider some things to go into.

For example, start a war to increase the territory, build a naval fleet, or repair the Great Wall.

You can imagine how inefficient this backward mode of capital mobilization will be, and how serious the corruption and waste in the middle will be. What's more, this model is completely transparent, and there is not the slightest secret to speak of.

How much money does the imperial court have, as long as anyone who cares can inquire about it, internally, the various factions will fight for their own selfish interests, Qingliu wants to ask for more money to build a school palace and a Confucian temple, the eight banners want to pay more flags, and the governor wants to withhold more money...... Although they all know that money should be spent on the cutting edge, the navy should be built, and the new army should build factories.

But people are selfish, especially the struggle between factions has amplified the contradictions between people, and internal friction will quickly deplete the limited surplus of the imperial court, not to mention that the emperor himself wants to build a few more palaces.

This money is not only for insiders, but also for enemy countries, they will formulate different diplomatic strategies according to your financial situation, the Western powers are used to blackmail and deception, they cannot let you have enough capital to develop industry and technology, and it is in their interests to be weak.

The Chinese must break all this, he must have a very hidden capital pumping machine, open the era of internal combustion engines, open the age of electricity, and open the era of petrochemical industry...... The development of these basic technologies cannot be explored by the people alone, and the Chinese have lagged behind Europe.

It is necessary to invest and support with national capital, especially basic education, which is very costly, and these add up to tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of investments, where will the money come from?

If the Chinese rely on the outdated tax system to accumulate this capital, let alone whether they can successfully save it, even if you succeed, what do you want to do when the hostile forces see that you have saved so much money?

What business in the world is worth Xiao Letian's investment of 100 million silver dollars, or even 1 billion silver dollars? As long as this information is on the desk of the British Prime Minister, you can wait for the war!

It can be said that the Hidden Dragon Project was tailor-made by Xiao Letian for the rise of the Chinese in this era, although in the future this will form an oligarchy, which will cause a serious gap between the rich and the poor, and will create a group of invisible aristocrats.

But it is undeniable that this plan is indispensable for the current Chinese people, because what the current Chinese people want is not how to divide the apples perfectly, but to do everything possible to protect their own apple trees, and even go out to grab other people's apples.

The Hidden Dragon Project can firstly efficiently draw capital from the private sector to make large investments, and secondly, it can raise the level of secrecy unknowingly, and these two points are the most important.

There is no perfect method in the world, and in order to reverse the gap between backwardness in the past few hundred years, Xiao Lotian can only push forward the hidden dragon plan hard, because he knows very well what the Chinese need most now.

It's not fairness, it's about living, it's the power not to be slaughtered by aliens, saving your life first and then thinking about happiness, this is the way to govern the country in a down-to-earth way.

When all the gods of wealth in the Dragon and Phoenix Building were gearing up to accept the prime minister's plan unconditionally, a top-secret plan outline was sent down, and everyone could only watch it here, relying on their own brains to remember, and no one could take it away.

All of a sudden, these gods of wealth were like elementary school students, sitting on chairs and reciting word by word, and they couldn't wait for every word to be imprinted in their hearts.

Fan Yao looked at them and sighed secretly in his heart, "This is the future thirty-three big families, the hundred-year-old family is considered to have broken ground today, I really want to see who among you can keep the wealth of the three generations, and who can keep the glory of the hundred generations!"

Liu hesitated to look at the complicated expression of the old shopkeeper, and could vaguely guess what Fan Yao was thinking, he leaned over and whispered, "Give them another hour, it's almost time to announce the third big thing, right?"

The old shopkeeper took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and found that it was already half past three in the afternoon, so he nodded and coughed lightly, "Let's be quiet! There is still a big event to announce below, and it is not too early, so listen carefully......
