In the autumn of 1868, after two years of construction, the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom sent superintendents stationed in various countries to report to Luo Yang on the construction of the naval fleet ordered, among which, Britain built the fastest, completely built, and could be delivered, and the warships built by other countries were also in the final term, or the auxiliary ships were not completed, or in some minor problems, they still needed decoration,

In the year and a half since the end of the war with the United States, the development of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom has made great progress in all aspects, the most obvious of which is industry, with the full cooperation of the government, the French government and businessmen have moved a large number of industrial equipment to China, and established a series of factories including mining, smelting, casting, etc., especially the textile industry, with the number of spindles reaching millions, a supporting industrial layout has appeared, most of which have been put into production,

The British government's possession of a large part of China, especially in the richest Yangtze River valley, was satisfied, but the merchants were not satisfied, and repeatedly put pressure on the cabinet to negotiate between the government and the Chinese government to export machinery to China and build factories.

The British minister sent many notes to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs delayed it, naturally, Luo Yang also knew very well that at first it was delayed, and later, he made it clear to France, hoping that France would support and understand, and then, gradually opened up domestic restrictions to Britain, allowing the British to invest in factories,

At that time, China's total economic production value statistics, should have risen sharply, mainly because of the French factory under construction and put into production, greatly improved efficiency, and China's scientific research department, also made rapid progress, the diesel engine was taken, the gasoline engine was developed, and began trial production, but also imitated the French factory, invited French skilled workers, opened their own factory,

It should be said that the number of factories opened in China is very small, but they are all very important, mainly heavy industry, and as for the very profitable light textile products, they are handed over to France, and they are arbitrary.

However, Luo Yang and others also know that this good-looking GDP is actually mixed with water, because many of the output value does not create any profits, and the factories and mines opened by the French are tax-free for the first three years, because of the competition of the British, the Chinese government naturally raised the price code and changed it to two years of tax exemption and so on.

The British merchants were very jealous of the success of France, and after bribing the Chinese diplomatic department a lot, and even giving Luo Yang himself a lot of benefits, they finally obtained the right to open factories, so they were elated and stepped up their actions, so that in just half a year, more than a dozen factories were built in China, with more than 300 steam engines,

The catharsis of the economic power of Britain and France, it can be said that like a flood of beasts, destroyed China's original large number of handicraft economy, the high efficiency of machine production, the advantage of "good quality and low price", like mercury leaking into the ground, pervasive.

Countless people have made suggestions to Luo Yang, such as Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, etc., such as Zhang Zhidong, and even the princes and ministers of the former Qing Dynasty, Prince Gong, etc., even the Nala clan couldn't help but advise Luo Yang that they should be vigilant against Westerners, because these people are not good things,

The generals from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Li Xiucheng, Chen Decai, Huang Wenjin, Chen Shukun, including Li Shixian and others who returned from North America, as well as Zhang Suimou, Luo Bingzhang, the governor of the northwest, and others, advised Luo Yang more fiercely to be wary of Westerners, because, under the impact of their large factories and foreign interference in best-selling goods, the livelihood of the Chinese people has been affected like never before, a large number of handicraft workshops have gone bankrupt, and China's silver continues to flow out, and silver is expensive and cheap, resulting in deflation, and the people's property is also shrinking. Many people have been displaced, and if it weren't for the government's relief measures, there would have been many crises.

Luo Yang resolutely withstood the pressure of the generals and officials, and repeatedly explained to everyone that this is a labor pain, when the British and French technology in China has gained a firm foothold, China's national industry is stimulated by it, and it can be developed, even if it is a subsidiary economy, it can also get the benefits of industrial civilization.

"In three to five years, the state of the economy will inevitably change." This is Luo Yang's sworn words to the officials,

Of course, these words are all lies, and Luo Yang doesn't believe it.

Not only to deceive people at home, but also to deceive people abroad, but more importantly, to deceive international audio-visual,

It can be said that in the two years since the establishment of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, apart from the brutal means of social stability and unity, in terms of social stability and unity, there have been few measures for its development, and the losses caused by the economic invasion of Britain and France have been astonishing, because the old tax rate of 5% is still worth 100 percent, and a large number of factories are put into production, almost all of China's economic fields have been covered.

It can be said that more and more people realize that the so-called Chinese Heavenly Kingdom is actually a dream, a government that has surrendered to the outside world and oppressed internally, and is not much different from the former Qing Dynasty.

"Lure the wolf into the house."

"The erector is not enough and the plan."

Many officials of the former Qing Dynasty, especially those who were old-fashioned, had already scolded Luo Yang and others behind their backs.

Luo Yang's previous call to prepare for war and develop the economy has also become a sneering handle for many officials.

In a short period of one and a half years, the victory of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom in the war against the United States and the prestige accumulated by the government were largely diluted by the impact of the economic crisis.

Everyone thinks that Luo Yang is a military stranger, but politically, he can only be regarded as an ordinary person, and diplomatically and economically, he is simply an idiot.

"Silly, never so stupid again." Elite talents like Zhang Zhidong shook their heads and sighed,

In order to resist the invasion of foreign economic forces, the Qing government once waged an indomitable struggle, and after the military defeat, it was forced to retreat step by step.

Although the economic ties of modern society are closely strengthened, the national industry, the local chemical industry that has mastered the core technology, is still the core of a country's economic development, and a country without its own core technology and intellectual property rights and control is economically a tofu scum and cannot support the foundation of a strong country at all.

Luo Yang is patient, waiting, and conspiring with the core leaders, telling them that this is a shocking scam.

All the British and French investments, whether they are machines, technology, or technicians, will be Chinese in the future, and the Chinese government has deceived them into the land of China, and they can open their mouths and devour them anytime and anywhere.

This is a grand strategy, a country without a long-term national strategy is sad, a government that is not good at playing with power and seeking the welfare of the nation is incompetent,

"We need to suppress any opposition." This is Luo Yang's instructions to the internal affairs department after telling about the grand strategy.
