Since Song Xiaofei became president in 1895, China began to industrialize. During his first presidential term, he inherited the heavy industry base of guns and ships left over from the "Westernization Movement" in the late Qing Dynasty for nearly 30 years, and Song Xiaofei always emphasized the development of China's heavy industry and the establishment of an industrial and military logistics system. In addition to the Japanese government's annual war indemnity of 33 million taels of silver, there were also 100 million taels of silver left by Cixi in the palace. In addition, Xi Jiadong issued about 800 million silver dollars of treasury bonds. In order to develop industry, Song Xiaofei also auctioned off the treasures of the Manchu palace and the homes of nobles. Therefore, from 1895 to 1900, during this period, some private spinning, porcelain, tea, and sugar companies developed rapidly, but China's heavy industry developed much faster than light industry and agriculture.

Modern machine munitions factories under the China National Defense Industry Corporation, such as the Anqingnei Ordnance Institute, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, the Jinling Manufacturing Bureau, the Suzhou Foreign Artillery Bureau, and the Xi'an Machinery Bureau, have developed rapidly, using machines imported from Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland to produce artillery, bullets, and gunpowder. China Shipbuilding Industry Group is also developing rapidly. Although in terms of technology, it is still more dependent on imported equipment and foreign technicians. In addition, tanks, engines, etc., and motors for submarines can only be purchased from abroad.

The Chinese government encourages landlords to buy government bonds and invest in industry and commerce. In 1900, there were 4,019 factories in China with more than ten workers, of which 975 were steam-powered. The number of workers reached 400,000, 2,039.6 miles of railroad, and 260,000 tons of steam-powered ships.

After China became a protectorate of Japan in 1898, in order to prevent the resurgence of the specter of Japanese militarism, China dismantled all Japanese military factories, moved all the machines that could be moved to Tohoku, and limited the scale of Japanese steel plants. The big steel boilers were demolished and moved to China. After the occupation of the Far East in 1901, China accelerated the exploitation of silver mines in areas such as Nebuchu. In addition, China has also increased its plundering of colonies such as Korea, the Philippines, and Vietnam. Accumulate capital for development.

Because of the vigorous development of industry, China's cheap labor in colonies such as the Philippines, North Korea, and Vietnam is still oppressive, and Filipino women are basically sold to all over the world as domestic servants. Use "Filipino maids" to earn foreign exchange for China. Many Vietnamese women were given free of charge to farmers in the mountains of China as wives. Men from the Philippines, Vietnam and North Korea are the main source of miners in the Far East, and their lives are still miserable, with long hours of working underground and 16 hours a day as the norm. The United States sometimes criticizes some of China's policies on the basis of human rights. The Chinese government has exposed the darkness of human rights in the United States by citing the tragic experiences of Chinese workers and blacks in the United States.

Industrialization requires a large number of talents. Song Xiaofei promoted the establishment of Peiyang University in Tianjin in 1882, with Yan Fu as the president, and in 1889, Shandong University Hall was established in Shandong, with Timothy Li as the president. These two universities became truly modern universities in China, surpassing the later founders of Peking University and Tsinghua University. Liu Mingchuan founded Mingchuan University in Taiwan in 1885. These universities sent a large number of international students to study advanced foreign technology in that year, and after 1895, the number of new students increased day by day, and by 1900. Nearly 20 years later, the country's technical personnel have been gradually trained, a large number of foreign students have returned to China, more and more scientific and technological backbones have entered the modern industrial sector, and China has more than 20,000 technical personnel in technology introduction and technological transformation activities.

Moreover, Song Xiaofei also passed the establishment of the National Academy of Sciences. By 1902, there were about 5,000 experts and technicians from various countries working in China, many of whom were first-rate technical experts who had served as chief engineers and other positions. This has played an important role in changing the appearance of technological backwardness and speeding up the process of industrialization.

After the start of the Westernization Movement. Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang, Zhang Zhidong and others have opened new-style schools in various places, such as Fujian Mawei Shipbuilding School, Beiyang Naval Academy, Tianjin Wubei Academy, Guangzhou Naval Academy, etc., all kinds of new schools are mainly divided into language schools, industrial technology schools and military schools to learn the basic knowledge of science and technology.

After Song Xiaofei appointed Yan Fu as the chief of education, he and Cai Yuanpei and others re-established a systematic and scientific education system. October 1895. The Ministry of Science and Education promulgated the first important reform decree in the history of modern education in China -- the "School System", which divided the country into seven university districts, established the principle of subdivision of school districts and the number of universities, middle schools and primary schools that each school district needs to establish, and also stipulated the length of the school system for primary and secondary schools, stipulating that the primary school system shall be five years and the middle school system shall be four years. China has also set up various types of industrial schools, such as industrial remedial schools, industrial schools, and industrial specialized schools, to train a large number of primary and senior technical personnel for society, and to build Chinese's own contingent of industrial talents. The Ministry of Science and Education of China has sent a total of 2,683 international students, including 383 in humanities and 2,300 in natural sciences.

At that time, China also hired a large number of foreign teachers, in addition to the chief of customs Hurd, these foreign personnel were widely distributed in the Ministry of Industry, Culture, Sports, the Ministry of the Interior and other departments, engaged in teaching advanced technology, teaching languages and technical disciplines, etc., and some even participated in state management, became the government's "think tank", and were hired as advisers to the Chinese government, such as the chief correspondent of the "Times" in China, such as Morrisson, Song Xiaofei's constitutional adviser Goodnow, etc., but the Chinese government has always taken "only relying on them and not relying on them". only consult and have no authority to make decisions".

In addition, with the development of the industrial revolution, secondary vocational schools and colleges have also developed quite rapidly. Under the advocacy of the government, large and medium-sized companies have set up staff schools, modern apprentice schools or formulated in-plant technical training programs. In 1900, there were 184 colleges and 323 apprentice schools in the country.

Beginning in 1895, the Chinese government vigorously encouraged the development of private enterprises, and while vigorously setting up government-run military enterprises, it also provided various kinds of support for private capital, encouraging overseas Chinese in Nanyang, the United States and other places to return to China to start businesses. After the change in the policy of centering on the government-run enterprises, except for the military industry, which continued to be under the control of the state, all other enterprises were sold to private operators at low prices, and vigorous support was given to the development of non-governmental enterprises. The shipbuilding industry is the most typical private enterprise developed by the government support and protection, China Ocean Shipping Group has opened up four major ocean routes and a number of offshore routes from China to India, Europe, North America and Australia, and China has become the world's third largest maritime country after Britain and the United States.

The private railway industry has developed greatly with the encouragement of the government. Within 10 years from the start of railway construction to the completion of business, the government will give shareholders an annual profit of not less than 8 cents. The occupied land is exempt from land tax and can be used free of charge.

In 1895, Sheng Xuanhuai's cabinet government purchased 1,000 sets of 2,000 spindle spinning machines from Britain and resold them to the private sector with a preferential treatment of 10 years of interest-free repayment, and established more than ten textile factories such as Shanghai Textile Mills.

In order to avoid sweatshops, Song Xiaofei also asked Rong Hong's Congress to pass a series of social insurance legislation in 1895 to establish a national social security system, and generally improve the social living conditions of vulnerable groups such as workers, and in 1896, the Congress passed the "Sickness Insurance Law", stipulating that workers participating in sickness insurance can enjoy free medical treatment when they encounter illness, stipulating that those who are not injured by accident due to dereliction of duty or deviance during their employment should be compensated, and those who have reached the age of 70 shall be given annual old-age alimony. Disability maintenance is paid annually to persons who become permanently disabled and incapacitated, and widows and orphans of insured persons who are unable to support themselves receive a portion of the deceased's maintenance, which provides that employees may also receive pension and survivor's maintenance.

At the same time, in order to strengthen the labor protection of workers and improve working conditions, the relevant laws and regulations clearly stipulate that it is the obligation of business owners to prevent dangers. In order to implement this provision, Sheng Xuanhuai's government has set up a special industrial and commercial inspector to inspect and supervise the implementation of the regulations, prohibiting women and children from engaging in unhealthy labor; Restrictions on the maximum working day for adolescents and women aged 14-16 and the prohibition of night work for adolescents and women; Workers in special industries such as mining shall be subject to daily working hours and maximum temperature limits during working periods, and each shift shall not exceed 6 hours if it exceeds 30C; Maternity leave, etc. Song also allowed Chinese workers to establish their own trade unions under the Baath Party, and to negotiate peacefully with factory owners to fight for their legitimate rights.

From 1895 to 1902, Sheng Xuanhuai's government continued to use national bonds to ransom large landlords and take back the land to distribute to the landless peasants.

By June 1902, China's industry and agriculture had a certain foundation, and its total economic output and comprehensive national strength were second only to Britain and Germany, ranking third in the world. Song Xiaofei expanded the Chinese Army to 700,000 people, divided the country into seven military regions, each with about 100,000 people, the navy expanded to 25,000 people, and had 80 warships of more than 3,000 tons, which gave him the strength to send troops to the South Seas!

According to Song Xiaofei's vision, China wanted to annex Nanyang through ten years of industrial development, and by 1905, China would rapidly transform from a backward agricultural country into a capitalist industrial power, and lay the foundation for its status as a great power and a great power.
