[Writing this kind of content is the most brain-consuming, and writing is slow, alas]
In the blink of an eye, the five years of Xinghua were about to pass, and in the last period of the year, the Imperial Cabinet began to summarize the achievements of Xinghua in all aspects of the empire during the five years from one to five years, and finally handed over an answer sheet to Yan Xueyi that satisfied Yan Xueyi.

In the past five years, the general direction of the development of the empire was dominated by the "First Five-Year Plan", and the rapid and orderly large-scale construction was carried out according to the detailed plan prepared in advance.
The greatest achievement of the "First Five-Year Plan" was to turn the Chinese Empire, the world's largest agricultural country, into a country that attaches equal importance to industrial agriculture and establish a relatively independent country. In other words, even if the Chinese Empire did not need to obtain any materials from abroad, it could make the empire sustain.
In fact, the "First Five-Year Plan" was completed in the first half of the fifth year of Xinghua, and by the end of the year, the "First Five-Year Plan" could be said to have been overfulfilled, although from March to April, there was a great purge in the empire, which caused the development of the empire to stagnate for a month, but after the purge was over, the development of the empire quickly returned to normal and moved towards a higher realm.
Agriculturally, before the "First Five-Year Plan" began, the Chinese Empire had 8.5 million hectares of cultivated land, a population of 410 million, and a per capita cultivated land of more than 2 acres, and at the end of the "First Five-Year Plan", the empire had 12.9 million hectares of cultivated land, a population of 460 million, and a per capita cultivated land of 2.8 mu.
In the five years of the "First Five-Year Plan", the empire has newly reclaimed 4.4 million hectares of land, coupled with the seeds of high-yield crops that have been spread throughout the country, and every year, the income of the common people has increased.
Here we have to mention the demographic problem of the Chinese Empire.
Before the establishment of the Chinese Empire, the land of China was under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the people at the bottom were struggling, and they were starving to death, the population growth rate of the Chinese nation began to slow down, and adults could not eat.
After the establishment of the Chinese Empire, the income of the common people began to increase, although it was not yet able to hit the well-off level of living in abundance, at least the family could eat enough, and there was still some money left in hand, even if they were unexpectedly pregnant and gave birth to a child, they would choose to raise it, in this case, the birth rate of the imperial population increased, and with the improvement of health and medical conditions, the mortality rate of the imperial population decreased.
In the first year of Xinghua, the empire increased its population by 8.3 million, and in the next four years, the population increased to a certain extent in each year, coupled with the empire's began to promote "more births and more children", so that the empire's population growth rate was further increased, and the total population of Xinghua increased by more than 12 million in five years, and finally the current population of the empire reached 463 million.
As the national income continues to increase, the population of the empire will increase faster and faster in the future, to a certain extent, the population represents the war potential of a country, Russia has a population of more than 100 million, and the war potential is huge.
The Chinese Empire was originally a big agricultural country, but after the end of the "First Five-Year Plan", it became a country that paid equal attention to industrial agriculture, and the agricultural achievements were so great, and the industrial achievements were even more unimaginable.
Industries are divided into light industry and heavy industry, and except for a small number of important places in light industry that are not open to the people, private capital can enter the remaining industries at will.
With the Chinese Empire ruling the land of China, the merchants of Siqi Province began to go out of Siqi Province and bring their capital to all parts of the country, and at the same time, the industrial products produced by the factories in their hands quickly occupied the markets of other provinces.
The private capital of the four provinces is very strong, and the private capital of other provinces is not weak, the landlords have no land, although they have a large amount of capital in their hands, it is not possible to sit on the mountain and eat empty, but also move towards various industries of light industry, for a time large, medium and small factories "blossom" in the whole country, there is no county that does not establish factories, basically a county has as few as five or six factories, more than ten, and even forms a small industrial zone, and in large cities, the industrial zone has already taken shape.
The light industry of the empire has just started, and the domestic counterparts do not want to compete with each other, the market is so large, it is impossible to be saturated in a short time, and with the increase of national income, the market will be further expanded, even if the market is saturated, there are foreign products that occupy a certain proportion of the market, first squeeze foreign products out of the country, and wait until the day when the domestic market is completely saturated, the products of the Chinese empire will go abroad to seize the markets of other countries.
Landlords used their wealth to build factories, which produced industrial goods, sold them, made a lot of money, and then expanded or built new factories...... It's a huge cycle, the landlords turn into merchants and use their wealth to develop light industry for the empire, the empire reaps the benefits, and the merchants' assets increase, which is a win-win situation.
Light industry is mostly related to people's livelihood, but heavy industry is different, heavy industry is a manifestation of national strength, and the development of light industry also depends on heavy industry.
Heavy industry is very important, at present, all industries of heavy industry have been controlled by the royal family, private capital cannot enter, and private capital does not have much strength to invest in heavy industry.
The royal family invested in heavy industry is unimaginable, far more than the military and education.
In the "First Five-Year Plan", it is clearly listed that the empire should reach the scale of annual output of 20 million tons of oil and 5 million tons of steel, and you must know that before the "First Five-Year Plan" began, the scale of the empire's oil industry was an annual output of 800,000 tons of oil, and the scale of the steel industry was an annual output of 1.1 million tons of steel.
Now the scale of the imperial oil industry has reached an annual output of 24 million tons of oil, and the scale of the steel industry has reached an annual output of 5.7 million tons of steel, of course, this is only the scale, and the actual annual production has not yet reached this much.
This year, the total oil production of all countries in the world except the Chinese Empire is 13 million tons, and the oil production of the Chinese Empire alone is higher than that of other countries combined.
Can the Chinese Empire use that much oil?
