As a former diplomat, Zhou Ziqi suffered the humiliation of the country's weakness, and while serving as a diplomat in the United States, he received the news of the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the original imperial court no longer existed, and there was a dispute between the southern Chinese state and the northern Beiyang forces in the country. Unwilling to get involved in the whirlpool of domestic political strife, Zhou Ziqi first spent some time in the United States before returning to his hometown in Shanxian County, Shandong.

After the reunification of the country, Zhou Ziqi came to Wuhan to become a professional translator in order to make a living, and later the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs found him many times, hoping to return to the diplomatic field, but Zhou Ziqi refused. He is still bound by traditional morality, believing that entering the government is a betrayal of his original master, and his former friends and people who now work in the government have also come to persuade him, but they have not crossed that hurdle. It wasn't until he met Roosevelt that he suddenly realized that he had to tremble in the face of a low-level official in the United States, and now he can maintain a calm mind in the face of a big man like the former president, all of which was brought about by the new country, so what reason is there to dwell on the past?

Roosevelt, who was sitting in place, did not think deeply about why the man named Zhou Ziqi left suddenly, he focused his eyes on the radio in Zhou Ziqi's hand, Roosevelt had similar things in the United States, but it was heavier, more ugly, and noisier in quality.

Household appliances marked "MADEINCHINA" are being marketed all over the world, and when the earth has just come out of the shroud of darkness and people are in the joy of emitting light from electric lights, Huaguo uses a variety of electrical appliances to make the world quickly enter the age of electrical appliances. The dazzling array of Huaguo manufacturing in the mall, the exquisite appearance and the performance of the use make people can't help but give generously, and Huaguo electrical appliance merchants frantically plunder wealth from all over the world through this commodity.

Unfortunately, the imitation electrical appliances of top industrial countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom cannot compete with Chinese goods, even if imported goods need to be deprived of costs such as transportation, tariffs, and middlemen. An average American wakes up in the morning to turn on the Chinese-made radio, then uses the bread maker and coffee machine to make breakfast, and returns home in the evening to put the fresh vegetables he bought in the refrigerator. I heard that Huaguo was already selling a fresh electrical appliance called a television, but unfortunately it was not exported abroad, and the newspaper introduced that the scene of the event could be seen through the TV screen, which was really fascinating!

Take TV as an example,An ordinary black-and-white TV represents the integration of many technologies,Counterfeiters need to break through a series of difficulties such as image transmission、Electronic scanning、CRT、Scan picture and reception,Reverse mapping is not so simple。 Other refrigerators, radios, etc., are also for similar reasons, resulting in domestic appliances that cannot compete with Chinese goods.

Strategically important appliances are higher-performing, more miniaturized wireless communication devices and portable telephones. Modern warfare has higher and higher requirements for communications, and the Chinese army has even equipped small wireless communication equipment with platoons, which has expanded the strength of the army and enhanced the combat effectiveness of the troops.

The higher quality, smaller size, and greater battlefield adaptability of military communications equipment also means higher prices, equipment manufacturers do not make much money for the military, and large-scale purchases slightly reduce prices. Despite this, this equipment also costs a large amount of budget expenditure for the military, and when the country is weak, it can only be purchased as a luxury product, such as the allied Korean army in China, which equips the equipment to the regiment, and even then the equipment level of the North Korean army is comparable to that of the developed countries.

In 1908, Huaguo exported 3.5 million electrical appliances of various kinds, with a net profit of 300 million yuan. This time the stick of trade protection did not work, China also has many other indispensable resources of industrial countries, once the tariff barriers are erected, the industrial production of various countries will fall into a semi-stagnant state, no one can afford such a loss, countries can only swallow their anger to watch Huaguo electrical appliances conquer the city, increase the policy investment and capital investment in the electrical industry.

Corresponding to the popularity of electrical appliances is the popularity and strength of the power industry. In 1908, China's power generation surpassed that of the United States to become the world's first, and the coal-fired power plants throughout the country became one of the most important symbols of industrialization, and coal from Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, Northeast China and other places in the north was transported to the whole country, and nearly 2.5% of the railway system was prepared for coal transportation.

Huge industries and rising cities consume a lot of electricity, and they are the big consumers of electricity. Low electricity bills have made people accustomed to the world under electric lights, high-voltage transmission lines have conquered rural areas one step earlier than roads, and towering transmission towers and communication towers have become the most important carriers for rural observation of civilization and progress.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Industry, there are 3,560 thermal power plants in the country, including 45 large-scale thermal power plants and 587 medium-sized thermal power plants. The power companies, like the oil companies and the tobacco companies of the railway system, have become the big trusts of monopoly industries, and the nationalized companies inevitably create monopolies, which are the requirements of the economic system, and although there are drawbacks, these industries related to economic security must be in the hands of the state.

The process of industrialization is accompanied by pollution, which is the price that must be paid for growth, environmental protection has not been paid attention to in this era, and the number of chimneys and factories is still competing among countries. As for environmental protection, let's wait until industrialization is completed, because if we don't have enough strength to engage in environmental protection, it is equivalent to dressing up under starvation conditions, but it is just a whitewash, and backward countries have no right to pursue enjoyment.

As evening approaches, the square is crowded with tourists, and when the scorching sun recedes, the square becomes cooler, and all kinds of entertainment activities increase. Roosevelt sat on a bench next to a fountain, and after dinner at a hotel by the square, he decided to rest here before returning to his lodgings.

The resentment against the power of China dissipated with a meal of food, and he even had a good impression of this country, because a country that can create so much delicious food should not be an evil country.

From the ****** in the north to the present to solve the problem of food and clothing and move towards a higher level of enjoyment, it took only three years for Huaguo to develop. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Agriculture, in 1908, the country's grain output was 98 million tons, surpassing the United States' 60 million tons to become the world's first. In order to solve the problem of surplus agricultural products and maintain the stability of agricultural prices, China exported large quantities of grain to North Korea, Japan, Russia, Germany, and other places, becoming the second largest exporter of agricultural products after the United States.

Grain is also used in large quantities to make wine, and Lu Liang almost issued a "prohibition order" because he hated alcohol. Of course, there are only a few people in China who hate alcohol like Lu Liang, and the Chinese people's love for alcohol has even formed a kind of wine culture, which is combined with traditional Chinese humanities and has become a unique cultural atmosphere. Lu Liang believes that this culture represents hypocrisy, artificiality, and the destruction of trust, but even when he is in his position and has supreme power, he does not dare to do anything about it.

According to rough statistics, in 1908, the Chinese people consumed 5 million tons of liquor and other liquors, more than the total consumption of other countries in the world. It's hard to imagine how the stomach of a Chinese person can hold so much alcohol, or that a Chinese person has the ability to vomit for a long time, and then climb back to the wine table and continue drinking!

In addition to crops, animal husbandry became another vital member of the agricultural system, with 75 percent of the country's crops and 25 percent of animal husbandry in 1908. Livestock farms in the suburbs of cities and rural areas have become the largest animal husbandry production areas, relying on the development of surplus grain and feed industries, Huaguo farms have provided a large amount of meat supplement for the Chinese people, and meats such as chickens, ducks and pigs have become frequent guests on the tables of most Chinese families. Lu Liang once proposed in 1905: "Let every Chinese family have a chicken stewed in the kitchen and a car", and this goal is rapidly approaching the realization of this goal.

In the two world wars of the early 20 th century, grain, as one of the most important strategic resources, was extremely valued by the countries participating in the war. The struggle for grain-producing areas has become one of the important strategic objectives of the participating countries. Except for God's godson the United States, the rest of the countries were plagued by food shortages, and the people of Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and Japan relied on potatoes to survive that unbearable period of historical memory, resulting in potatoes becoming an important food on the tables of European countries in the future.

After acquiring the Philippines, China's arable land area officially surpassed that of the United States, with grain producing areas such as two crops a year in the subtropical region of the south, three crops a year in Hainan and other regions in the Philippines, the vast black soil in the northeast, and the traditional agricultural areas of the Central Plains. In 1900, the country's agricultural population exceeded 95 percent, in 1905 the proportion dropped to 83 percent, and by 1909 the country's agricultural population accounted for 52 percent, nearly half.

China's agricultural conditions are not superior, and the traditional agricultural areas of the Central Plains have suffered serious soil degradation due to thousands of years of farming. The south is densely populated and does not have high agricultural production efficiency. The Philippines is densely covered with rainforests and requires a lot of effort to develop and build. The only peace of mind is the Northeast Plain, which is also the agricultural region with the lowest input costs and the highest returns.

In addition, the dense population and traditional small-scale farmer economy limit the increase of agricultural productivity in China, and the agricultural production of the family unit is not advantageous compared with the family farms and highly commercialized agriculture in the United States.
