Chapter 30: Upwards

Luoyang, Forbidden City, South Palace, Donglai Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The main hall here, adjacent to the Dragon Pavilion, used to be used as a gathering place for the ministers, and since Li Enkai "Pingzhang Change" ten years ago, this hall has become the official office of the political hall, the place of office.

In the past ten years, all major state administrative affairs have been convened here by the ministers and agreed by the cabinet - of course, under the ideological guidance of Prime Minister Li Cheng.

In the past ten years, most of the ministers have also become accustomed to this kind of cabinet meeting, with Prime Minister Lee Cheng designating the general direction, the prime minister presiding over the cabinet meeting, and the cabinet counselors and governors discussing the details.

The Cabinet of the Government Affairs Hall is composed of 13 people, including the 12 Secretaries of the Ministry of Political Affairs, plus the Prime Minister. It is called the Cabinet Council of the Political Affairs Hall, which is responsible for all the governance and state affairs of the Chinese Federation.

These 13 people decided the fate of the Chinese Federation - on the premise of obedience.

Today, however, is the regular Cabinet meeting of the Government Council to finalize the Third Five-Year Plan.

Now, however, they were a little surprised: because the dragon was late!

After getting along in the past ten years, all civil and military officials have also become familiar with Li Enkai and know what kind of person he is. Every time there is a meeting, Li Enkai has always arrived on time, never slow, ten years of rain or shine, why is it late today?

Before the thirteen people could be surprised, they suddenly heard a roll call from the guards outside the door of the cabinet room—

However, this name is not what everyone thinks-

"Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager of the Federal Republic of China has arrived in ——!"

Everyone in the cabinet room was startled at first, and then they all got up to greet them.

The door opened, and Liu Li, the imperial daughter of the Chinese Federation who was still dressed in purple and green, stepped in, looked around at Zhu Qing, who was saluting, and said softly: "Zhu Qing, please take a seat." ”

Everyone agreed, and then sat down.

Liu Li walked unhurriedly to the main seat, looked at this far-reaching seat, smiled lightly, and sat down, looking at Zhu Qing awe.

The ministers, who were already confused about the arrival of the crown princess, first saw Her Royal Highness the princess walk to the seat, as if looking at it with interest, they couldn't help but skip a beat, and when they saw that Her Royal Highness the princess was sitting on that seat, they couldn't help but gasp-

Her Royal Highness, what is this going to do?!!

The seat of the main seat belongs to the prime minister!

For the Federal Republic of China, everyone from top to bottom knows what the prime minister means.

The meaning of that seat is clear to everyone.

And Her Royal Highness sat here without any scruples......

Think about Prime Minister Li Cheng's tardiness today......

Could it be ......

A cold thought could not help but rise in the hearts of the ministers.

"Ladies and gentlemen—"

At this time, Her Royal Highness spoke.

The palace dialect that has been handed down from generation to generation in the palace deliberately delays the speech, the speed of speech is slow but not dispersed, the voice is low and powerful, and the tone is faintly filled with a few sonorous metal tremors, full of compulsion.

——Like a big stone in my heart.

"Enkaita, who has been slightly ill in recent days, is recuperating in bed and cannot come to preside over the cabinet meeting......" She looked around slowly, her gaze swept over the wooden faces of the ministers, "So, it is up to Lone to preside over it." ”

The thirteen political participants were all expressionless.

There was silence in the cabinet room for a while, and then the governor of the political affairs hall, Prime Minister Hu Youli, asked respectfully: "May I ask Her Royal Highness, I don't know the Prime Minister...... What is the condition? ”

"It's not a big deal," she couldn't make out any meaning in her voice, "it's just that I'm overworked and a little tired, just rest for a few days." ”

Premier Hu Youli was silent for a moment, and finally lowered his head and said no more.

The other 12 political participants were also silent, maintaining a silence like wood and stone.

Liu Li looked around and said, "I remember, today is to review the "Third Five-Year Plan", right? As she spoke, she looked at Tobe Shangshu Wen and the people.

Wen Jiren took out his wat board-type data board and tapped on it, so in front of everyone present, a virtual light screen appeared.

"The Third Five-Year Plan, in accordance with the ...... Prime Minister Li Cheng's instructions, we will have to prepare for ......," he paused and said, "war, and get ready." ”

"Under the two five-year plans, the national industrial system of the Chinese Federation has basically completed the robotized production reform, and realized the construction of a data-based, networked, and intelligent management network......

As he spoke, Wen Jiren pulled up a few pages of data and motioned for everyone present to watch.

"However, according to the forecast, this productivity explosion will also bring about a problem, that is, the shortage of raw material supply."

Wen Jiren called up another analysis report, "The national population of the Chinese Federation is nearly 4.2 billion, and in order to meet the ...... of this huge population market A well-off standard of living, we need - resources! "At the very least, we also need one-third of the earth's resources!" All the resources! Resources in all forms! In order to basically ensure the daily normal life of 4.2 billion people at the level of moderate prosperity......"

First food and clothing, then well-off, and then rich.

This is the development line that Prime Minister Li Cheng has long formulated.

However, wealth is not a pie that can fall out of thin air.

If you want to create wealth, you need corresponding resources, and without resources there is no wealth.

As far as the average standard of living of the citizens of the current Federal Republic of China is concerned, it is between subsistence and clothing and moderate prosperity – in the past, it was between poverty and moderate prosperity.

And Li You's purpose is to push this "per capita" line upwards to reach the level of affluence, or even the richest.

The people are rich, the people are rich, everyone is rich, everyone is rich.

However, the affluent lives of 4.2 billion people...... This is difficult and unimaginable for anyone.

Fortunately, according to Li You's plan, this point is very late in the sequence, and it must be when human beings enter the primary interstellar civilization and reclaim the solar system.

Therefore, the current pursuit of the Chinese Federation is to ensure that every citizen can enjoy a moderately prosperous standard of living.

This per capita line will be raised from subsistence to well-off, and from well-off to wealthy.

However, with the current total resources of the Chinese Federation, it is somewhat insufficient to achieve this point.

Since it is not enough internally, it can only be obtained from the outside world.

- War!

"According to the plan, we will control the time limit of this war within one year, and the basic strategic purpose is to drive the EU back to the west of the Ural Mountains, as well as ......" Speaking of this, he licked the corners of his mouth excitedly, "Restore the Australian Metropolitan Protectorate!" ”

“…… So, what are the odds of winning or losing? Li Wenhe, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who had been frowning all along, finally raised his question.

"—Victory."

The military department was about to speak, but was taken a step ahead by the empress dowager.

Liu Li's tone seemed to be telling a matter of course, as if the sun was rising and the moon was falling, and the heavens were clear and unquestionable.

Everyone present couldn't help but quietly touch each other's eyes.

*

The news that Li Yilong was unwell today, but it was only one afternoon, and it had already spread all over Luoyang's officialdom and even among the people. Officials and people, large and small, are all talking in the hidden surge.

Because, that Li Zhilong has always been in good health, and in the past ten years, he has never had any major illnesses, fever, flu, and even sneezing, and he is healthier than ordinary people - why did such a person suddenly fall ill?

- The Forbidden City has had many rights and wrongs since ancient times!

The people of Luoyang are born with a keen sense of intrigue, which has been cultivated by the imperial capital for two thousand years, and cannot be learned elsewhere.

In the evening of the same day, there were multiple versions of "supposedly" and "heard" rumors on the streets, teahouses, taverns, restaurants, and even online forums, all of which said that they had noses and eyes, as if they had seen and heard with their own eyes.

And the most popular saying at present is - "The dragon in the Dragon Pavilion is killed, and the tears of the son of the dust are lost".

- Oh, yes! The female Liu Li's expression is "Yun Chen".

- Twenty crowns for men, fifteen for women. From "The Book of Rites: Qu Li".

Nine-fold Dragon Pavilion.

On the mottled plaque, Cao Zhilong's handwriting is still hanging here, overlooking the next generation.

Liu Li stood on the steps, raised her chin slightly, and looked directly at the three words.

- Nope! To be precise, her eyes saw only two words.

- Rank Dragon.

Walk up the stairs, walk through the corridors, walk through the courtrooms......

In the nursing room, Li You was weakly paralyzed on the bed, his legs and arms were outstretched, his body was stiff and straight, there was no expression on his pale face, he couldn't hear the sound of breathing, and his chest couldn't see the ups and downs, lying there like a dead man.

- When Yuriko saw Liu Li's arrival, she gave a salute and left silently, leaving space for the two.

Seeing him lying in a coffin-like sleeping position, Liu Li sighed, walked over gently, sat down beside him, took out a fruit knife, and began to peel apples.

From beginning to end, the peel of an apple that was not broken was peeled off, and Liu Li used a fruit knife to cut the flesh of the apple into small pieces.

"Ahh

Liu Li made an onomatopoeia, stuck a piece of flesh on the tip of the knife, and stretched it to Li You's mouth.

"I don't want to eat apples......"

Li You opened his eyes, and his voice was dry, like wood in the desert.

"Ahh

Liu Li uttered onomatopoeia again, and the flesh stretched closer.

So Li You had to open his mouth and swallow the apple flesh.

"The peel has been peeled off, if you don't eat it......" Liu Li tied up another piece of apple flesh, stretched it out to Li You's mouth, and smiled, "It's a waste!" ”

So Li You had to continue to open his mouth and swallow.

"How?" After finally eating the apple, Li You leaned on his mouth and asked, it seemed that because of eating the apple, Li You's voice was no longer so dry.

"What else?" Liu Li picked up another pear, peeled it, and saw Li You's eyes hooked, "As you think, those guys are thinking more......"

"Will it jump out?" Li You closed his eyes, out of sight is pure.

"It's not enough heat."

"Then keep burning." Li You snorted, "I didn't touch them before, for the sake of a steady transition of the political situation." If they were smarter, I wouldn't mind keeping them, but it's a pity...... They have undeserved ambitions, lust for profit! ”

Liu Li didn't answer, so for a while, only the sound of peeling was left in the room.

After a while, the peeling sound disappeared, and a piece of sweet ice poked Li You's lips.

At this moment, Liu Li's words sounded:

"Is it true that 'if you go outside, you must first settle inside'?"

Li You swallowed the pear meat, chewed silently, and then swallowed.

"This is - for me China!"
