[1340 Emperor Hua asked Catherine to return to China]
Queen Emma suddenly secretly held Hua Huang's hand and looked at Hua Huang.
Although Queen Emma's movements were secret, the guards behind Emperor Hua and the guards of the Dutch Royal Palace, both of them could clearly see this action.
President Meng sweats, what are you going to do in this big court?
"Your Majesty, you are great." Queen Emma smiled and threw a big wink at the Emperor.
Maybe it's not accurate to use a flattering eye, it should be said to be an adoring gaze.
There are many people who worship the Chinese Emperor, but the eyes of Queen Emma of the Netherlands and Queen Maria Cristina of Spain are particularly hot.
President Meng should be respected by the world, especially the aristocratic class, under the leadership of the Chinese Emperor, it only took more than two years, but the current economic level and social outlook of Huaguo are close to the level in the original history, the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China in early 1950.
This is a great leap, this is an unimaginable leap, it only took two years for the Emperor Hua to pull the economic level of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in 1877 to the level of 1950 in the original history, saving more than 70 years of time for China!
It directly spanned the turbulent times at the end of the Qing Dynasty, directly saved more than 30 years of warlord secession, and directly saved more than 10 years of being ravaged by imperialism led by Japan!
Although China's current industrial level is not good, in terms of economic aggregate, it is close to Britain, parallel to France and Germany, and is actually the fourth largest country in the world.
Of course, this gap is very small, Austria-Hungary and Tsarist Russia, the United States' economic aggregate, is not too far behind China, among these three countries, the gap between Austria-Hungary and China is even more minimal, into the top five, this is only the emperor's personal estimate, the Chinese Bureau of Statistics can not come up with accurate data, can only say that the top eight is stable.
Queen Emma's attitude towards Emperor Hua also made Emperor Hua feel deeply respected.
Queen Emma's background is low among the nobility, and the status of Hua is also seriously underestimated in the ranks of great powers, so it is easy for Emperor Hua and Queen Emma to feel sorry for her.
Queen Emma and Queen Maria Cristina of Spain would certainly not have feelings for a boy who was not yet 10 years old because of their brief contact with Emperor Hua, they just revered it.
"Is there one?" Hua Huang smiled, "Still, I like this compliment, whether you really think so or not." ”
"It's true." Queen Emma said seriously, "I really think so. I think the monarch who has the ability to lead the development of a country is the most fascinating. ”
"Which is more charming, me or your husband?" President Moe joked.
Queen Emma blushed and snorted slightly.
Catherine glanced at the unhappy Hua Huang, who was whispering to Queen Emma, and snorted softly, her heart sour.
Princess Katrina Kaaf didn't go to see Catherine, but she felt it, and secretly thought it was funny.
Princess Katrina Kafu even feels that she loves His Majesty, maybe not as much as Catherine, which woman does the Emperor want to belch with, Princess Katrina Kafu is generally not angry, and many times, she will secretly 'help' Your Majesty, Princess Katrina Kafu is disgusted with Zhao Qingluo because Zhao Qingluo has always rejected His Majesty, and has always 'held', for His Majesty's other women, Princess Katrina Kafu can sincerely accept it.
At the end of the lunch party, President Moe called Catherine to his office.
"I want to put the Central Grain Reserve Corporation under the direct management of the Sports Committee for the time being, you can return to China now, make some preliminary preparations first, and wait for my order to start the campaign at any time." President Moe said to Catherine.
"Hmph, after meeting a new beauty queen, I think I'm in the way." Catherine lost her temper.
President Meng sweated, in addition to Jie Gege, now there is another woman who dares to make a little sex with him directly, which makes Hua Huang feel funny and funny, "Why do you think so?" ”
"Doesn't Your Majesty have a crush on that Queen Emma? It was a happy conversation just now. Catherine stood with her arms crossed.
President Meng smiled, came over and pulled Catherine to sit on the sofa, "Don't be careful, this is normal socialization, whether it is the Queen of Spain or the Queen of the Netherlands, everyone is in the palace, how can I have anything with them?" Besides, they don't have any thoughts about me, do they? Don't you think you're too sensitive? ”
Catherine glanced at His Majesty, and when she saw Her Majesty's appearance, she suddenly sneered, and she also felt that she was too sensitive, Your Majesty's appearance was a nine-year-old boy, if it wasn't for the woman next to Your Majesty, how could she know the inside story?
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't mean to be angry, but Your Majesty has never been so enthusiastic about anyone." Catherine laughed.
President Meng also smiled: "Isn't this to show that the relationship between the two families is good?" You have friends, right? Don't you have a time when you're passionate about your friends? ”
Catherine thought of Zhao Qingluo and sighed softly, "I'm just a good friend, and now I'm in trouble, Zhao Qingluo seems to know about me and Your Majesty, does Your Majesty still want Zhao Qingluo to be my assistant?" ”
"Business is a business matter, private affairs are a private matter, it has nothing to do with it, you go back with Zhao Qingluo this time. Go back today, and say goodbye to Timothy Lee and Sophia. President Meng immediately decided.
Catherine knew the emperor's character, and when she thought of it, she was about to start doing it immediately, and reluctantly said: "I still have a lot of questions to ask Your Majesty, especially about the countryside, and besides, I am also a little reluctant Your Majesty, we have just been together." ”
"The coming days are long, now is not the time for children to grow up." Hua Huang smiled indifferently and patted Catherine's hand gently, "Many things have to be solved in practice, not to the specific problem, it is not clear at all, Huaguo is growing fast, because we dare to think and dare to do, and solve a problem when we encounter it." Let's pick the key points. ”
"There are two main issues, one is the problem of the aging of the rural labor force, and the other is the problem of farmers' income." Catherine asked, "Is it enough to rely on the central government's macroeconomic control and planning?" ”
President Meng thought for a while and said: "The problem of aging rural labor, a large number of young and middle-aged laborers in rural areas have moved into the city, but in many places, especially in the main grain producing areas in the north, planting and harvesting have long been marketized. On the issue of raising peasants' incomes, generally speaking, it is very difficult to get rich from farming, and the problem is not low grain prices. Whether it is a relative comparison or an absolute comparison, the grain purchase price in China is not low, and the problem is that there is less arable land per capita. The purchase price of grain is rising every year, but it must keep pace with the overall economic development and the growth of income levels. If the peasants in China were like those in North America and South America, where each household could grow tens of thousands of acres, and everyone would have become rich long ago, there would be no way to change it all at once, and it would take a process for China to transform into industrialization. As long as each household can plant hundreds of acres, the farmers will definitely be rich, and the young people will be willing to farm. However, it is not possible now, and we must do a good job of urbanization and develop secondary and tertiary industries first, so that the surplus labor force in the rural areas can be fully employed. If we now carry out large-scale agriculture across the board, will we send the surplus labor force to the cities to become nomads? With regard to China's grain reserves, it should be said that they are composed of three parts: one is the inventory of individuals (including the surplus grain of peasants), the second is the commercial inventory of enterprises, and the third is the state reserve. ”
Catherine listened to Hua Huang's speech as she took out her notebook to take notes. Emperor Hua talked about peace all day long, but Catherine listened to Emperor Hua in private The most common theme was expansion, which reassured Catherine a lot, in this era of power, Catherine was really worried that Huaguo's diplomacy would tend to be conservative, it seems that His Majesty is really determined to fight a large-scale war, the movement is to prepare for war, Catherine feels that she has a great responsibility.
In special periods, only the grain reserves of the state can work. And it can almost be said that it is a panacea.
When food prices are expected to rise, farmers will desperately rush to buy them; Commercial enterprises hoard in the hope of making a profit.
Therefore, one and two cannot be expected to calm market speculation, and only national reserves can regulate and suppress prices.
Therefore, Huahuang temporarily placed the Central Grain Reserve Corporation under the sports committee.
Huahuang is not only concerned about food and armaments, there are also a lot of industrial raw material procurement, China's industrial base is weak, many technologies are very backward, although now it can be called complete, but the amount has not been able to rise, guarding a variety of mineral reserves are rich in Siberia and Northeast China, but China's demand, or led to the explosion of global resource commodities, such as copper, iron, rubber and so on.
And as Huahuang took the lead in opening the automobile industry, Huahuang believed that once the European powers saw the power of automobiles, the demand for crude oil in the electricity era was absolutely first, and at that time, the Middle East and Africa would become the focus of military contention, so Huahuang first targeted these areas that are now poor and backward and look very chicken, and when the powers woke up, these places had fallen into the pocket of Huaguo, and Huaguo would be able to occupy the initiative.
It can also objectively suppress countries that are lagging behind China, causing them to increase the cost of infrastructure construction, especially Japan.
Even if China's labor costs are rising, these countries are still unable to compete with China in terms of comprehensive costs due to the defects in infrastructure and industrial chains.
As for the predicament that those countries that are more advanced than China, this is a historical inevitability and irreversible.
"The world is agriculture-oriented, the people take food as the sky, China has been an agricultural country since ancient times, and the population of China is the largest, and the population of China is so large, if all of them have to buy from other people's hands, it is unreliable after all! Therefore, while grasping grain reserves, we should also grasp agricultural technological innovation, and I don't know if the three-season rice, hybrid rice, which I am most concerned about, has it become? The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and the most direct national security is economic security, and the most obvious manifestation of economic security is food security! Imagine, if you don't have enough to eat, the country won't mess up? In the overall situation, we must have a vision, not limited to the gains and losses in the details, but to seek the advantages of the overall situation. As long as the signboard hung by Huaguo in 1877 remains unchanged, foreign capital will always be able to see the wind and rudder in front of Huaguo. President Meng looked into Catherine's eyes and spoke very devotedly, as if he was talking to Catherine, as if he was talking to himself, and to the future of the entire Huaguo.
Catherine blushed, "Your Majesty, the entire agriculture is for me to grasp, and the movement involves all aspects of the country, so I am not above the government?" I don't have that ability. ”
"Don't worry, when Zhao Qingluo did it, she had no experience at all, didn't something happen? Our system is good, anyone who goes up can have an eight-image, with me behind you to support you, no problem, during the movement, you are indeed the first, Liu Yuqing and Zhao Qingluo are your assistants. Hua Huang affirmed Catherine's statement and cheered her up.
Catherine nodded worriedly, she didn't feel much when she promised His Majesty before, but now that she was about to start doing it, she was scared.
