In terms of engineering construction in China, more than 90 percent of the major projects are carried out by the engineering team of the East China Group, so there is no quality problem.

With the development, many other engineering teams have also developed, and there will be more and more in the future.

The private engineering team has not yet caused too many problems in the industry at this time, but if the industry is not regulated at this time, it is only a matter of time before chaos arises.

Engineering construction is an important part of a country, roads, bridges, houses, reservoirs, power stations, and national defense projects. If the development is good, it can save a lot of manpower and material resources and create more benefits.

Xia Jun formulated an industry standard for the engineering construction industry in a timely manner, which also provides a good guarantee for the quality of future engineering construction.

Those affordable houses are repaired by the engineering team of East China Group, which is available in almost every industrial city, and it is conducive to saving expenses to supervise the quality of these affordable houses.

Although it is said that the affordable housing does not need to be subdued by the political axe, the affordable housing that Huadong Group is responsible for building is not profitable, and no profit is a loss.

The service life of affordable housing can be as long as it is long.

In terms of the internal configuration of affordable housing, it is generally 80 square meters, and some affordable housing even reaches 100 square meters.

This is to consider future population growth.

If a family has five or six children, the house will naturally be larger.

There are also small affordable housing for those with a smaller population, with an area of 50 to 60 square meters.

Xia Jun regards the housing issue as one of the most important issues, after all, he has chosen to let China go the route of an industrial country.

In an industrial country, the main composition of the people is the workers, and the happiness index of the workers is the key to Xia Jun's points.

For a worker, if even the housing problem cannot be solved, then the consequence for them may be that they will not be able to get a wife.

Beauty is a kind of resource, many times even ordinary women are resources, and they are the most basic resources, because of the uneven distribution of social wealth, this basic resource cannot be owned, so how can there be a sense of happiness.

Xia Jun is not too worried about solving the housing problem, after all, the land is private, and the price cannot be as high as in later generations.

Moreover, as soon as the affordable housing is launched, the prices of other real estate projects cannot be high.

And with the passage of time and the continuous development of China, cars will gradually enter the homes of ordinary people, and there will be no pressure on housing at that time.

If it is a smaller city, people can choose to settle in the suburbs, and the land is private, and the suburban plots are not within the scope of urban planning, as long as the house is not built in a place that hinders the operation of the public, you can build other places as you like.

Although it is said that cars are the key to solving the housing pressure, they are not yet there! So affordable housing is very important.

Due to the emergence of affordable housing, the development of China's real estate industry in the past two years has not been sluggish, except for those areas that are developing rapidly, such as some prosperous commercial areas, that kind of land is due to the rapid development of business and the price is rising, and the most in the housing price even has a price reduction.

At this time, China's economic growth was not mainly driven by building houses, and the recession of real estate did not hinder economic development, and was even conducive to the healthy development of the economy.

Building materials manufacturing has indeed become one of the pillars of China's economy, building materials manufacturing is mainly the industry involved in the East China Group, 90% of the building materials are produced by the East China Group.

The use of building materials is not for those commercial houses, but for those various projects that are constantly being launched, as well as houses built by private individuals.

Although it is said that many peasants have become industrial, many of them have not completely left the rural areas, but chose the nearest county seat, and returned to the rural areas.

At the same time, there are also a large number of peasants who have made a fortune by planting cash crops, and many peasants have become employees of agricultural reclamation companies and have made money.

In terms of affluence, many peasants are richer than workers, and this is the current situation after the development of agriculture in China.

At this time, new houses were being built almost everywhere in China, and the demand for building materials was high, so the building materials manufacturing industry was not affected by the real estate recession, but the scale of manufacturing continued to expand.

The construction industry and the manufacturing of building materials are currently important job providers, and the continuous expansion of this field has led to the solution of a large number of employment problems.

At this time, a large number of migrant workers appeared in the provinces, and the most important thing was to be absorbed by this field.

Workers who previously joined this field have successively learned a skill through night school, Chengren school, and technical school, and transferred to other industries, or worked as skilled workers in the construction industry.

This creates a cycle.

Many migrant workers do not leave the land completely, but come out to break through, and the land at home is not completely deserted, and belongs to the ranks of half-farmers and half-workers.

After a period of half-farming and half-working, some peasant workers returned to the countryside to grow cash crops and became agricultural again.

Growing cash crops is an effective way for farmers to quickly become the middle class.

Some peasant workers become full-fledged workers after a period of half-farming and half-working.

In recent years, many self-taught migrant workers have emerged, many of them are illiterate, but through self-effort study, some have even become teachers, lawyers and other professional groups that require higher education, and more of them have become civil servants.

In order to motivate the illiterate community to get rid of illiteracy, it is natural that the East China political axe should set many successful examples, and those who have become teachers and lawyers through self-learning are many, but they are not too common.

Therefore, when recruiting civil servants, East China Political Axe often focuses on those groups who have a certain culture through self-hard study.

As a result, East China Political Axe has successfully set a large number of models in recent years.

With these successful examples, coupled with the vigorous propaganda of the political axe, a strong social learning atmosphere has been formed today.

On the construction site, you can see workers reading hard with literacy dictionaries everywhere, and most of them hold dictionaries in their spare time.

At the same time, you can see a lot of workers on the construction site asking other workers for advice, and there are also many enthusiastic workers teaching some beginners pinyin and the like.

There are some pinyin diagrams posted on the construction site and even everywhere.

This kind of learning culture is contagious, because in the current society, as long as there is culture and hard work, it can create a better life.

Those who have a mindset of indifference will be despised by the people around them.

If the old people can say that it doesn't matter, but in the case that many old people have begun to teach themselves, if the young people don't study hard, then they won't even be able to marry a wife.

At present, the general standard for choosing a mate in a girl's family is to ask: "Have you got a cultural certificate?" ”

The cultural certificate is a certificate that self-learners receive after passing the examination, and it is neither a primary school diploma nor a junior high school diploma, but it is a passport to many fields.

There are many fields where you can't get in without a cultural certificate.

If you don't ask for a cultural certificate, if you don't learn some crafts that don't need culture, then most of them are made of coolie materials, although the coolies are not bad now, but at least the face of the girl's family is not good.

And those who get a cultural certificate are different, even if they are still working as coolies, but they are highly favored, when it comes to having a cultural certificate, people are in awe, this is a potential stock! There is a potential to soar.

The need for culture is far more powerful than anything else, but when culture is generally needed in this society, then people's enthusiasm for cultural learning will also be extremely high.

This kind of culture will not last forever, and it will become a thing of the past when China completes the popularization of culture.

At present, China needs this kind of culture, which can provide a good foundation for the cultivation of talents in China.

Due to the lack of skilled workers, China currently hires a large number of foreign technicians, among which German technicians are the most, which is a manifestation of the lack of Chinese.

Although China has embarked on a trajectory of rapid development, due to the constraints of cultural popularity, the constraints of economic development exist, and it is an obvious situation.

If the quality of China's citizens is very high at this time, then Xia Jun has the ability to make China's industry catch up with the United States in a very short time.

However, at this level, China still lacks sufficient foundation on the road to industrialization.

This kind of heritage takes time to build.

Therefore, many times Xia Jun invests his points in agriculture, and the development of agricultural technology can also make China strong.

At present, the industrial output value of many industrial countries in the world is even inferior to the output value of agriculture, and it was the outbreak of the First World War that made their industrial output value exceed the value of agricultural output.

The same is true for China.

This proves that agriculture still occupies an important economic position in the world in this era.

Although agriculture cannot be completely converted into war potential, China at this time is not agriculture without industry, and the question of war potential is not a problem.

In the same way, agriculture is also an important means to suppress the economy of other countries, because agriculture accounts for a large proportion of the economy in this era, and the effect of using agriculture to suppress the economy of other countries is naturally very good.

The limit of this year's industrial growth rate is so much, because there is not enough supply of talent, and there is no general environment to recruit talent from abroad. Historically, the Soviet Union was able to acquire a large number of talents, and that was because the United States fell into the Great Depression, so that there were not enough jobs, but now it is the First World War, and there is not much way to get a large number of industrial talents.

Therefore, this year, the East China political axe decided to concentrate those financial resources that could not be used into agriculture.

Cash crops are a field with a huge demand for manpower and financial resources, and many cash crops have to go through a certain cycle before they can be effective.

Just like planting fruit trees, many fruit trees take four or five years to produce fruit, some even go further, and some cash crops even have to wait for more than ten years before they can be profitable.

At this time, China is no longer facing the constraint of not having money, but the constraint of not having enough talent, and there will be no money.

At this time, there was a lot of money in the political axe, and there was also a lot of money in private capital, but the most money was still the East China Group.

The financial strength of East China Group is unique in the world.

No other group in the world has grown to such a large extent.

There is so much money that there is no place to invest, and it is likely to flow into the stock market and real estate, resulting in the phenomenon of hot money.

Although this problem has not yet been exposed, according to the investigation of East China Political Axe, although there are many domestic investment projects, they cannot keep up with the speed of increasing money.

If there is enough talent in the industry, it is said that it can keep up with the speed, but now it is clear that there are no conditions for such growth.

Therefore, expanding capital investment in agriculture can solve this problem.

Agriculture is a consuming industry, but it is also an important part of the supply of raw materials to the industrial sector, and the development of cash crops can improve the quality of life of the people in the first year, and secondly, it can provide a solid foundation for the industry in terms of raw materials.

Investments in cash crops can be made in addition to domestic investment.

According to the joint estimates of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Bureau of Statistics, China can invest about 5 billion yuan in cash crops and special breeding in the next year.

This is not counting the inputs of food crops and ordinary aquaculture.

…… Xia Jun's usual life gradually became regular, and he basically let go of Li Shijing and the following Ming Cook institutions in government affairs, and the political system of the East China political axe at this time was very strange.

That is, there are many Ming Cook institutions, but it is also a government system of reading talents.

This belongs to a kind of balance, as well as a limited reading talent, if Xia Jun has an idea and a resolution, he can not go through any Ming Cooking Agency, this is Reading Cai.

At the same time as reading talents, Xia Jun can accept the open boiling, which is the open cooking of the lower level, which also reflects the will of the people.

Li Shijing usually takes over government affairs, and she is not too busy, she still has a lot of time to accompany Xia Jun to practice the health of Tu Na Kung Fu.

In addition to grasping military power and grasping the general direction, and concentrating on the development of economy and culture, Xia Jun is basically cultivating his own self and surname.

As the breathing continued, the self-cultivation achieved very significant results, and Xia Jun's eyes became brighter and brighter, looking bright and breathtaking.

If a timid stranger is stared at by him for a while, his hair will definitely stand on end.

In ordinary life, you can often see some people with bright eyes, but they are obviously not as obvious as Xia Jun.

The Taoist theory is that the sound is moving, the eyes are moving, the eyes are galloping, and the words are dispersed, and the spirit and spirit are declining, and there is no immortal.

It's like why farm machinery has to limit noise, because people can't work too long in a noisy environment, which is why the sound is moving and shaking.

To learn the Tao, we must first learn to be deaf and dumb, listen less, and speak less.

Xia Jun is naturally not so exaggerated, after all, at this time, as the head of East China's political axe, if he really learns the Tao and does not ask about the world, then the consequences will be very serious.

The Taoist advocacy of listening less and talking less is actually like spending money, which belongs to the practice of being extremely stingy, and Xia Jun is naturally not so stingy that he doesn't even speak.

During this period, Wang Shizhen, the three heroes of Beiyang, had fallen into Taoism, and stayed at home to study Taoist metaphysics and tuna practice.

Wang Shizhen is known as the head of the three heroes of Beiyang, and is also ranked before Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang, the so-called dragon, tiger, and dog, Wang Shizhen is symbolized as a dragon.

At this time, Wang Shizhen is already dedicated to cultivating and not asking about political affairs, many people think that Wang Shizhen is not suitable for being compared to a dragon, but in fact, he is not an ordinary level like a dragon, and he is exploring the mysterious Taoist world, the highest realm, the best cultivation is Wang Shizhen.

Xia Jun is destined not to be like Wang Shizhen, he just wants to maintain his health, if the country is rich and strong in the future, it is time to retire after success, and then it is the time for him to choose to devote himself to cultivation.

Xia Jun spends only three hours a day on meditation and tai chi, and in terms of personal life income and expenditure, Xia Jun still manages to break even.

It was soon the end of June, when the Allies launched the Battle of the Somme.

If Germany's choice of the fortress of Verdun as the site of the attack was a mistake, then the Entente's choice of attacking from the Somme was also a serious strategic mistake.

The Entente were still unaware of the brutality of trench warfare, and launched an attack before the tanks they had purchased from China were equipped with troops.

The Germans had already built a strong defensive line along the Somme, which had many underground passages and underground rebound fortifications, and the artillery was basically of little use to the German troops in these trenches.

When the Allied artillery bombardment, the Germans hid in underground bunkers, and as soon as the Allied artillery bombardment was over, the German troops below immediately drilled out, lifted their machine guns into the trenches, and fired fiercely at the attacking Allied soldiers.

The Germans also had a way of dealing with tanks, and the East China Axe had already sold the Germans enough anti-tank mines as well as anti-tank machine guns.

These anti-tank machine guns are the kind of large-caliber machine guns, which are very useful against early combat vehicles, and even the armor of the Smasher 2 can penetrate them.

At the same time, Germany also studied the weaknesses of the tank, gave the soldiers some knowledge of anti-tank, and Germany also had its own tank in defense.

The Entente offensive was quickly contained, and fierce fighting was raging along the Somme, with the British losing 60,000 men in the first day.

This is the death of the offensive!

After the infantry rushed up, it was difficult to retract it because of communications, and it was not surprising that 60,000 people died in the first day, especially in such an operational environment.

While the Europeans were fighting, Xia Jun was developing his own industry and agriculture, and recently he has focused on agriculture and medical care.

A large number of excellent cash crop varieties and breeding varieties were exchanged by Xia Jun, and the advantages in agriculture were significantly strengthened again.

Among them, cotton was promoted to the third level by Xia Jun.

Three-level high-yield cotton: 500 million points required, the maximum yield is 800 kg, the extensive planting yield is 500~600 kg, and the resistance to insect pests and drought is strong.

If you are willing to spend another 2 billion points, then it is the fourth-grade high-yield cotton that needs 2 billion points, the maximum yield of the fourth-grade high-yield cotton has increased to 1000 kg, the extensive planting yield has reached 700~800 kg, and the ability to resist diseases and pests is extremely strong.

It's tempting, but it's not needed for the time being. After all, the current cotton production in the world is so large, it is useless for you to have a variety of varieties, and the third-level high-yield cotton is already enough.

With tertiary high-yield cotton, it is no longer a problem for China to monopolize global cotton planting in the future, and there is no need for political axes to subsidize cotton planting.

In medicine, Xia Jun bought vaccine manufacturing technology.

The vaccine is cultivated in egg embryos, and this technology did not appear so early, so Xia Jun paid nearly 100 million points.

However, if these 100 million points are smashed out, they can earn back dozens or hundreds of times in the future.

Xia Jun is waiting for the outbreak of the Spanish flu! It can also be said to be waiting for a windfall.
