Steel, chemical, petroleum and other aspects of modern industry began to develop in an orderly manner.

The Eastern Han Empire officially entered the period of the Second Industrial Revolution, more than 1,500 years earlier than the first industrial revolution of Western capitalism in the original history.

The first industrial revolution in the Eastern Han Dynasty started when Liu Xie ascended the throne, because Liu Xie at that time could only transcribe the knowledge in the small dictionary by handwriting, so the acquisition of information was very slow, and many things could not be developed at all.

The second industrial revolution started with his acquisition of the mind printer, and the speed of obtaining information from all industrial systems was very, very fast.

Therefore, the second industrial revolution of the Eastern Han Dynasty can only be regarded as a real industrial revolution in the strict sense, and the first can only be regarded as a quasi-industrial revolution.

With the drastic development of the industrial revolution in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the political system of the Han Dynasty also needed to be reformed. Liu Xie began to promote the constitutional monarchy system, and the law was constantly improved.

Thanks to the steel industry, steel for infrastructure construction is constantly being produced, and related coal, petroleum, chemical industry, etc., and even the automobile industry and aviation industry are also driven.

A new system of timekeeping was introduced, and since there was already available information, the new system could be copied from the small dictionary in its entirety: a 24-hour system throughout the day.

Since one hour is equal to two hours, the hour is called "small" time, and the hour, minute, and second are popularized, and at this moment there is already the appearance of clocks.

In addition to industry, agriculture also began to be mechanized and farmed, and a large number of agricultural people were freed and invested in the industrial construction of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Large quantities of grain, agricultural and animal husbandry products are produced.

At the beginning, Liu Xie wanted to implement the population incentive plan, and some people opposed it at the time, because it would be a big expense, but now slowly, this money is slowly not a problem.

At that time, the population incentive scheme was that for every newborn, boys would receive a monthly growth allowance of one tael of silver until the age of sixteen, while girls would receive two taels.

As for why there are more girls than boys, it is because Liu Xie wants to get rid of the phenomenon of preference for sons, before he ascended the throne, the Eastern Han Dynasty was still very backward at that time, at least much more backward than now, and in many places there were girls born or discarded or drowned.

As a result, the allowance for girls is twice as much as that for boys.

At the beginning of the era of global colonization, Liu Xie added another item to the population incentive plan, that is, in the process of colonization, children born to a combination of Han people and foreigners, and accepted Sinicization, classified into the Han household registration, can also get the same monthly growth allowance.

In doing so, Liu Xie considered two aspects, one was to consider the superiority of Hermes-Epitek, and the other was to encourage Hermes-Epitek to colonize overseas.

Of course, Han people ≠ Han people, which Liu Xie has repeatedly emphasized. All the Eastern Han people in the Kyushu List Map are called Han people, including the Han and all the ethnic minorities in the territory, including Gaozhou and Lengzhou, which joined later, as well as the Xirong tribes that have not yet been fully naturalized.

This is also what Liu Xie considered, so that all ethnic groups in the Eastern Han Dynasty are equal, do not engage in discrimination, and increase cohesion stronger.

Everything is going on step by step, and it is developing rapidly, time has been pushed to the end of the 15th year of the galaxy, a year has passed, the Han has been geometrically grown in terms of economy, science and technology or any aspect, Liu Xie is wherever he goes to take his baby printer, the printer has almost never stopped printing materials. As long as there is electricity, as long as Liu Xie is within five meters, he does not need to connect to the brain to directly download materials from the small dictionary for printing.

Due to the rapid progress of new technology, Liu Xie no longer used the original history of the Common Era, but implemented the lunar calendar, with the Milky Way year name.

During the big construction, the soldiers of various small countries around the Han Dynasty came to pay tribute, because of the growth of the country, these small tribes were not stupid, they knew that the Han was strong, and only by attaching themselves could they have a way out.

Therefore, starting from the north, the Xianbei tribes, Jiankun, Dingling, and the west to the southwest Hujie, Wusun, Khotan, Shule, Tang and other tribes came to submit.

Even so, the small dictionary did not indicate that the No. 2 system task had been completed, because there were still places such as Guishuang, Body Poison, and Funan that had not surrendered.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed, and the time has come to the 16th year of the galaxy, Liu Xie is 24 years old, and in the first month.

The entire Luoyang is covered in silver, the scale of the city is ten times larger than when Liu Xie ascended the throne 15 years ago, and the population has exceeded one million, plus the surrounding satellite counties and towns, the population has reached more than three million, which is a super metropolis in the whole world at that time, and it is the largest city in terms of population.

After a year of construction, the whole city of Luoyang was electrified, and the street lighting and indoor lighting were all replaced by electric lamps and other original lighting equipment such as candles and oil lamps.

The entire city also opened a rudimentary public transport system at the end of the year, and because it is in the early stages of construction, there will only be trams for the time being. In the next three years, Liu Xie plans to build a richer bus operation.

In addition to public transport, there are a mix of horse-drawn carriages, rickshaws and taxis.

Due to the development of the petroleum industry, the automobile industry was driven, so at the end of the year, automobiles finally appeared, so Luoyang's taxi car industry was also born.

The development of transportation also led to the development of communications, and post offices and telegraph companies began to appear in Luoyang and other parts of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Whether it is official or non-governmental, communication has become more convenient.

In addition to being able to send telegrams, telegraph companies could also include public telephones, and at this time, telephones finally appeared.

Ever since the advent of the Mind Printer, something poisonous has become more and more expansive.

In terms of entertainment, because of the development of telegraph and telephone, the broadcasting industry began to appear at this time, including the royal family, with a number of radio stations, and the radio became a luxury for officials and wealthy people.

The invention of the camera gave birth to the birth of the film industry and the first film company, but the film film at this time was still the period of black and white silent films.

Private cinemas appeared in Luoyang and Chang'an one after another, and when the first silent film was released, the cinemas were overcrowded, and it was difficult to find a ticket for a while. Since silent films are silent, there will be actors dubbing at the same time during the screening.

Therefore, Cai Yan began to consider the plan to make Changle Weiyang into a movie, because it is a silent film era, this plan may be delayed, because Changle Weiyang is a song and dance drama after all, and it is incomplete without sound.

Luoyang became the center of the world at this moment.
