After five years, many firsts have been refreshed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For example, the first suspension bridge across the river directly mobilized tens of thousands of builders to build the bridge during the dry season, during which there seemed to be some incredible black technology, but no one had ever seen it, so it became a legend.

Even in the dry season, the flow speed of the Yangtze River is not slow, and it is actually able to erect a huge suspension bridge in such a turbulent river.

Yes, all this can only be explained by miracles, and even the Taiping Sect directly publicized that Li Yu was the descendant of Haotian and Emperor Jun, and was specially sent down to save the people of China. This propaganda also has a very large market, and the key is that Li Yu also hopes to further deify himself, and the government has not come out to refute the rumors.

Another example is the first steam mill and steam spinning mill, on the basis of which the first steam locomotive was also successfully developed. Taoyuan City to Lingyang City, through Jing County through Wanling, and finally arrived at Jiangcheng County; The second railway is also being developed, which is expected to be built directly from Zongyang City to Shouchun to strengthen the connection between the north and the south; A third railway is also being planned, which is expected to be built all the way from Taoyuan City to Nanchang City. These railways will continue to be built as needed.

Where there is no railway, it is also hard to build roads, and since three years ago, Li Yu has vigorously promoted the concept of 'building roads first to get rich'. If the local conditions are available, they should build a first-class highway between the two places, and if they do not have the conditions, they should also get out the second-class roads, or even the third-class roads, even if they are not cement roads, and they must also get out of the dirt roads in the townships or mountains.

By this year, the counties of Jiaozhou and Yangzhou have been completely connected, which has naturally driven the trade activities between various places, especially for the closed and backward Jiaozhou, the merchants who continue to come here have also driven the economy here, making it more prosperous.

As for Panyu, the seat of Jiaozhou, not to mention, after all, whether it is by land or sea, many merchants gather here every year to trade. Even the convoy of iron ore collecting on Hainan Island will temporarily dock here for replenishment.

This led to a boom in the port, first with hotels, inns and green houses, then with local snack bars, and finally a number of grocery stores. This has also led to the development of the local grain industry, grain processing industry, and even aquaculture.

When people have money to earn, they naturally have spare money to enlighten, especially since last year a voluntary literacy campaign was launched across the country. As long as they are willing to accept literacy, they can sign up for the study, regardless of whether they are citizens of the Republic of China.

For Li Yu, completely opening up the wisdom of the people is his real goal. This is not only to improve the knowledge level of the Chinese people, but also to influence the people of the other two forces.

Sure enough, with the development of the literacy campaign, the other two forces also had to carry out the literacy campaign in the country. However, it is stipulated that only those who have a household registration of their own citizens are eligible for literacy. As of this year, the illiteracy rate in China has dropped from 90 percent in the late Eastern Han Dynasty to 35 percent. It is not easy to develop to such a point in more than 20 years.

Man is not an animal that knows how to be satisfied, otherwise he would not have made laws to bind himself. The people who have attained enlightenment will subconsciously want to learn more knowledge, and there is no condition for not learning before, and of course they want to go further if they have the conditions. After all, I don't want to be in the future, and when I study again as an adult, I will feel embarrassed, and people want to acquire knowledge. The hope is very strong.

Perhaps, people from later generations have begun to learn to accept their fate in their bones. If you haven't achieved anything after this period of time, then you will think that you are 'destined to be like this' and have 'self-knowledge', and then give up and continue studying.

Of course, due to talent, some people may not achieve anything even if they continue to work hard. It's just that this can't be won or lost in the result round, the key is to look at the process. The guy who doesn't even want to work hard naturally can't talk about an X-silk counterattack.

People who want to learn will find that all kinds of self-taught books in bookstores around the world have special events. Most of these bookstores were opened by merchants from the Republic of China, and they were all over China. As a direct result of this activity, 50% of the 65% of the people who have gone through literacy have been exposed to more profound knowledge.

Even more late-night refresher classes and study interest groups have been set up. It is not difficult to understand the content of the book by discussing and learning from each other, and with the notes on the book.

As a result, many people learned what class is, learned about the concept of feudal society for the first time, and understood the concept of exploitation for the first time...... I want to know more esoteric knowledge, but I don't want the Han Empire and the Han Republic to completely block this knowledge. However, the more others blocked, the more attractive it became to the people, and the transmission between private became faster.

In the end, more people realized that the Han Empire was a feudal country, and everything was decided by the emperor Liu Wei; Although the Republic of Dahan is a republic, the actual power belongs to the family and the royal family, and although the people also have the right to speak, it is insignificant and cannot affect the overall situation at all.

At the same time, they began to understand that there was such a thing as a trade union in the south, but the Han Republic and the Han Empire did not have this; In the south, there is an eight-hour workday, and overtime pay is required for overtime, but the other two forces do not; There is old-age and disability insurance in the South......

Some things are like that, and when you don't compare, you feel like you're the happiest in the world. But after the comparison, the horizon will be forced to rise, and you will begin to be dissatisfied with the status quo and begin to yearn for higher treatment.

It is conceivable that among the two forces, there may be a trade union in the near future. It is not known whether the factory owner will be offered an eight-hour work day, overtime pay, a weekend rest system, or something like this.

The advent of railways and trains initially frightened many people in the Chinese Republic. They've seen the wooden railroad, but at least it's pulled by horses, so it's not obtrusive. The appearance of the steam locomotive, and the fact that this giant beast could drive like a fly without people and horses, shocked the people who saw it.

The sudden sound of "woo woo" made some people who had never seen the world think that the howl of hellish demons frightened them into hiding in their homes and did not dare to come out. After a long time, it was no wonder that it returned to normal.

A lot can happen in five years, for example, the first rubber trees can finally start tapping, and vulcanize them to make gas pistons, rubber tires, etc., if not so qualified and low-cost steam engines, it will have to be delayed for several years.

The emergence of steam trains promoted the prosperity of the counties and cities between Taoyuan City and Jiangcheng County, and also promoted the circulation of goods in the two places. The two major northern powers naturally realized the benefits of the railway, especially if a direct railway was built in Chang'an, then for the Han Empire, it would be able to strengthen its control over the Western Regions; If a railway is built to the grassland, the Han Republic can also strengthen its control over the grassland.

It was impossible to obtain the technology directly, so they saved the country by hoping that the Chinese Republic would sell the rails and locomotives, and even the carriages to them. In their opinion, as long as they buy something back, they can at least try to imitate it.

In the past five years, a lot of things have happened to the three forces, just like the Chinese Republic, which has had an initial effect on the sinicization of the Wa State, and the Wa State is also in the state of a vassal state, and the various tribes have also maintained their original divided state, and there has been no unified political power and civilization.

At the same time, with the propaganda of 'Xu Fu Dongdu' and 'the same root and the same origin', many Japanese people subconsciously believe that they are descendants of China. Over time, perhaps there will be no Japanese race in this world, only the Japanese nation.

The Han Republic also basically controlled the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, where a new county had been divided and a county guard had been set up; At the same time, the control of Outer Mongolia has been further strengthened, and three cities have been set up; The Buyeo Kingdom and the Goguryeo Kingdom have been destroyed, and the docile and well-behaved nature has been given the status of citizens, and the other disobedient ones have been directly reduced to slaves.

Unlike the moderate sinicization of Huaxia, they completely followed the route of violent sinicization, either surrendering or being killed or even reduced to slavery, and there was no second way to choose at all. Relying on this policy, they did get a high status on the side of the barbarians who respected the strong, but all that was left of the killing was hatred.

It's good that the Republic of Dahan has been strong, then everything is fine, and once it falls, then this hatred may completely explode after several generations.

In contrast, the Han Empire spent five years building a first-class road from the Western Regions to the Rest Empire, using a lot of resources and even employing a large number of local people. This road became a true Silk Road, which made it easier to connect China with Central Asia.

At the same time, Cao Cao also successfully arrived in Daqin, and saw the beauty of the exotic land, as well as the culture and religion here. I even came to the Colosseum and saw the colosseum show here.

He also became the guest of honor of the Roman Emperor Sheptimius Severus, even though they had fought a battle earlier and had beaten the emperor to flee in disarray, but in the end he was employed by the Rest Empire, not the Han Empire.

The Roman emperor also had a great interest in the Han Dynasty, mainly for its beautiful silk and ceramics, and even tea was also very well received. At the same time, it also gives back a lot of local products, including coffee!

Originally, it was not until at least the 11th century that this drink was widely used as a substitute for tea. However, when Cao Cao came out this time, he brought a variety of European species with him, and also with the order issued by Liu Wei, to continue to collect economic species that were not available in China.

So species such as watercress, duck and coffee were first discovered and then transported back to China. Originally, the Roman emperor also wanted to introduce the glass from the Venice area, but unfortunately the quality of the glass in this year is indeed not very good, and the local glass in China has been completely flooded, and the crystal clear tea set can be afforded by almost ordinary families, which naturally cannot attract Cao Cao's attention, and even despises the technology here in his heart.

Two years earlier, the Han Empire and the Roman Empire had reached an alliance agreement, and out of political and military sensibilities, Cao Cao had realized the decline of the Rest Empire. At the mention of the Roman Emperor, an agreement was reached between the two sides to jointly send troops against the Sabbatical Empire and divide up its territory.

For the Wusun Kingdom, Kangju Kingdom, Dawan Kingdom, and Dayue Kingdom along the way, the Han Empire adopted a moderate Sinicization policy like the Huaxia Republic, helping them to enlighten and learn Han culture. For the distant Empire of Sabbath, the strategy of violent encroachment was adopted. The war lasted two years, and in May 200 A.D., the Empire of Sabbath was declared extinct......
