"In terms of agriculture, due to the progress of the land replacement agreement, we now have more than 3 million mu of cultivated land in Huizhou and even Guangdong, accounting for 7% of the total amount of cultivated land in Guangdong, more than half of which are planted with high-yield rice, and there are 40 breeding bases, and the group's grain reserve warehouse has harvested a total of 150,000 tons of rice by the end of this year. There are 930,000 tenants and agricultural workers who are receiving initial training in agricultural science and technology. The area of high-yield rice planted by the squires who cooperated with us has reached more than 5 million mu, and it can be said that Guangdong has become the largest grain production base in the country. The grain, meat and eggs provided by agriculture ensure the construction needs of the group in all aspects, which can not only meet the needs of more than one million workers, but also use some of them as strategic reserves. The problem is that these land divisions are scattered all over Guangdong, and they cannot achieve mechanization and large-scale production, which I think cannot be solved at this stage, our factories and construction sites can accommodate more than 500,000 laborers and workers, but the farmers' farming methods are not solved in a short time, and our vehicle factories and machinery factories do not have enough capacity to provide agricultural machinery at this stage. Lu Wu, who is in charge of agriculture, reported that the seemingly inconspicuous agricultural department has provided the most solid foundation for Lu Liang's career. As for the problems in agriculture, Lu Liang still does not want to solve them, because the whole of China has little land and many people, and industrialization has just begun, and it is not a bad thing that farmland can accommodate a large number of laborers.

"In terms of education, we have built more than 100 new schools in Huizhou, which have now received more than 30,000 students. There are three technical colleges, mainly providing advanced training and technical research for workers. There are technical training courses, literacy classes, night schools for workers in every factory, and large-scale literacy training is still going on and is expected to continue for a long time. The construction of new schools in other places has been supported by the government and local gentry, many of whom have imitated our way, purchased our teaching materials, hired our teachers, and built their own local new schools. According to preliminary statistics, we have built 42 new schools outside Huizhou, 21 of which have been built by local governments, and our plan for the new year is to cooperate with local governments to build 300 new schools, most of which are primary schools. Teachers and management are mainly responsible for genetic people, which is also the biggest problem we face, and Huizhou alone accommodates more than 800 genetic teachers and managers. Lu Meng, who is in charge of education, said.

This is also a question that Lu Liang has been thinking about recently, in order to ensure that his career is not disturbed, he uses genetic people as a pillar force as much as possible, and focuses on cultivating new forces by himself. He has always been repulsive towards the intellectual class of contemporary society, because they have too many remnants of feudal thinking. What Lu Liang wants to create is to have traditional Chinese excellent morals, such as respecting teachers and the elderly, and not doing to others what you would not do to yourself, and also have the rigorous character of the modern German nation. The use of contemporary intellectuals, even if only in education, can have an unpredictable effect on one's own program. But I am already in this era, and it is impossible to ignore this problem forever.

"The education department can recruit intellectuals from the society to use as supplementary teachers, but they should go through strict assessment and training, and the teaching materials cannot be changed. There are many scholarly families and intellectuals in Guangdong, and we must not ignore them, but we must absorb them and use them for our purposes, and the work of ideological transformation can be carried out slowly, and we must let them become a part of our cause. Lu Liang finally made a decision, he decided to let go of the hatred of the decay that has been handed down for thousands of years, try to integrate into it and transform it, his career direction is to crush it all the way with steel, maybe it will be successful soon, but the scar caused to the national culture cannot be repaired, so now it needs to be changed, whether it can be peacefully transformed.

"In terms of intelligence, the base has taken excellent intelligence officers as a model and adopted the advanced experience of later generations to create more than 500 genetic people of various races, and sent them to various parts of Guangdong after forging identity certificates, and has also set up intelligence stations in major cities and important areas across the country, and has also established intelligence networks in important countries. The intelligence station is divided into core intelligence personnel, peripheral intelligence personnel, and action teams, and is equipped with radios, transmitters, pistols, and other equipment. This initially established intelligence network will be constantly improved and expanded in the future, and will penetrate deep into all forces to provide us with timely and reliable information. A counter-espionage network has also been rolled out in Guangdong, and a number of spies of hostile forces, including compradors, foreigners, Japanese, and the imperial court, have recently been arrested, and all of their spies have been detained and interrogated. "The expansion of the group's power has attracted the attention of all sides, and the emergence of such a behemoth in the Far East, although military power is not yet visible, has already affected the outside from all sides. The secrets of the base cannot be revealed, and the factory also needs to be strictly protected.

"Lu Er, tell me about the situation of our army." At this stage, the army is mainly based on defense and training, and in the near future, the army of Lvliang will show its hideous side and lay a bright future for the nation and the country.

"Chief, the army now has a first brigade under its jurisdiction, under the jurisdiction of three infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, a total of 5,300 soldiers, they have undergone rigorous training, all of them have passed the military and cultural examinations, and more than 2,000 of them have also passed the officer promotion assessment, and now they are being trained in batches. This brigade already has the ability to win a local war, and considering the military strength in the country at this stage, there should be no army that can defeat us under the same conditions, even if the number is doubled. In the Canton region, our soldiers could even defeat more than four times as many enemies. Our weapons and ammunition are mainly supplied by the base, and clothing, food, etc. can be supplied by factories. The main factor restricting our expansion was that the construction of the military factories had not yet been completed, and when the construction was completed in May 1901, our military strength could be expanded to 30,000 in an instant, because we had 15,000 reserve soldiers being trained, but because of the shortage of weapons and ammunition not to the extent of the First Brigade. At present, in addition to training, the reservists are mainly responsible for escorting the various factories in batches, and there are also 100,000 workers and peasants receiving intermittent military training, and as long as the military factories are put into operation, the size of our army can be rapidly expanded. ”

After Lu Si finished speaking, Lu Yi said: "The military factory is the first task of our heavy industry department, and the best workers are sent there, and now the machinery and equipment are being installed and commissioned, and trial production can be carried out in March." The largest is the ammunition factory, which produces various types of pistol cartridges, rifle cartridges, machine gun cartridges, and artillery shells of various calibers, with a total of six production lines, which, once all are put into operation, can meet the needs of 100,000 soldiers equipped with the same brigade. The construction of weapons factories is also intensifying, but our workers are not yet able to produce large-caliber artillery, which requires not only middle and high-level skilled workers, but also ordinary workers with a solid foundation, so large-caliber artillery at this stage can only be temporarily produced by the base. Lu Liang nodded, the scale of the military factory should be expanded, not only the needs of his own army, but also related to the future development strategy, he can be worried about the big fat of Germany, and the plan to arm Germany has long been formed in his mind.

"On the navy side, our cruiser Nanhai has completed sea trials and is secretly conducting tactical and artillery training, and out of the need for secrecy, the training is carried out in the sea area far from the base, and it will return to the base at night. Genetic officers are giving one-on-one coaching to soldiers, but they are not yet at the level of actual combat. The construction of the Huizhou Port Fort was completed, but it was not possible to conduct shooting training, so it could only be demarcated in advance to shoot Zhuyuan. Because the port of Guangzhou is too extensive, we have no way to build a fort there. ”

Lu Liang was very helpless, the hundred-year-old navy was really not called in vain, it was impossible for him to use all the genetic people on the warships, there were 1,000 genetic people on one Nanhai, plus 400 for the battery, and he would continue to add new warships in the future, should all of them use genetic people? Unless the base doesn't produce anything else, it's all converted to making genes. Moreover, the shipyard manufacturing speed is not fast, and the base consumes too many resources to produce warships, and now is not the time to fight for the navy, and slowly accumulating and cultivating talents is the right way.

As for the protection of the forts of the industrial base in Guangzhou, it is not something that he can do at this stage, unless he openly waives the banner of opposition to the Qing court in Guangdong. Now it seems that the land military power can only be strengthened, but fortunately, the industrial base is built with some precautions at the beginning, and all the factories are built outside the range of naval guns away from the coast and the Pearl River.

After everyone finished reporting, Lu Liang still thought of one thing, that is, publicity. It is necessary not only to have steel and industry, but also to have a set of mature political theories to propagate their ideas and win the hearts of the people; A sound organization to bring together and unite like-minded people. With the protection of large-scale industries and local forces, it is already a ripe time to establish an organization, and the great cause needs not only genetic people, workers, and peasants, but also the intellectual strata of this era, and a large part of the people are already dissatisfied with the Qing court and reality, and are struggling to find a way to save the country. The intellectuals represented by Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao had already failed in the Wuxu Reform, and the advanced strata represented by Sun Dacang, witnessing the traitory, autocracy, and corruption of the Manchu government, began to develop the idea of opposing the Qing Dynasty and transforming China with a bourgeois revolutionary political program. In 1894 he organized the Xingzhong Society in Honolulu to revitalize China, and in 1895 he plotted an uprising in Canton, but was forced to die abroad after the failure of the incident. History records that he sent Zheng Shiliang to Huizhou in October 1900 to launch an uprising, and now due to Lü Liang's interference, Zheng Shiliang was monitored when he first arrived in Huizhou, and some squires expelled him at Lü Liang's instructions. Facts have proved that Sun Dacang is the forerunner of the revolution and can be called a great man, of course, there are many unfavorable remarks about him in later generations, but in any case his merits cannot be erased, but Lu Liang does not want those immature uprisings to occur on his own territory, without supplies, lack of weapons, training, it is impossible to succeed with only one blood. The armed uprising in Heyuan has already attracted the attention of most people, and it is believed that after a while, the majority of the advanced intelligentsia will regard the Zhenguo as the main revolutionary organization, and the Xingzhong Society will be able to stand aside.
