As the time approached, Chinese businessmen from all over the world arrived at Lushan Summer Palace one after another.

The summer palace is a summer palace, so it is not as splendid and majestic as the central palace, and the pursuit of the brilliant history of the world architecture that integrates China and foreign countries, the summer palace wins with exquisite elegance, but in order to cooperate with the Lushan meeting in the summer of each year, there are not only more than 400 summer villas held by the General Administration of the Inner Court around the summer palace, but also dozens of hotels in the surrounding Saiyang Town and Lotus Town, which are enough to support the large-scale conference of each year.

At this time, Lushan can also be said to be famous in China and the world because of the Lushan Conference in previous years, coupled with its own beautiful scenery and unique climate environment, tourists from all over the world come to visit every year.

This influence beyond the surname even led to more than one proposal from the Jiangxi Provincial Assembly to transfer the provincial capital to Jiujiang, and there was also a proposal to change Jiujiang to Lushan Prefecture, but the proposal for the establishment of Lushan County was successfully passed.

No matter how those ruthless historians comment on this period of history, it is a well-known fact that the emperor will always have some special favorite cities, and these cities will always benefit a lot because of the emperor's liking, such as the Xuanzhou Mansion renamed from Zhangjiakou, such as Haizhou Mansion, Luanzhou Mansion, Aurora Mansion, Xuzhou Mansion, Qingdao Mansion, Baoketu, Handan, Taiyuan Mansion, Weihai Mansion, Xilin Gol, and Kizil.

The emperor's fondness for Lushan made it a real city of conferences.

This time, Emperor Song personally presided over the first World Chinese Entrepreneurs Conference, and at the opening meeting, he made a speech entitled "Modern Chinese Entrepreneurs and China's Modernization", and the whole speech shook the 1,447 Chinese businessmen present.

Under his initiative, the headquarters of the World Chinese Entrepreneurs Association will be located in Kyoto County, the capital directly under the jurisdiction of Yenching, next to the Central Cabinet Government, with the China branch in Shanghai, the North America branch in San Francisco, the South America branch in Chile, the Southeast Asia branch in Singapore, the Central Asia branch in Almaty, the West Asia branch in Iran, the European branch in France, and the Africa branch in Djibouti.

The "World Economic Herald" and "Entrepreneur" weekly magazines initiated by the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association are regularly distributed to Chinese entrepreneurs all over the world, and the representatives of Chinese entrepreneurs present jointly established the Bank of China and the Bank of China Insurance Company, with a total investment of 40 million pounds, accounting for 23% of the total assets.

With the growing strength of China, Chinese businessmen are becoming the most important businessman group in the world, which is an indisputable fact in the world, and no country can ignore the existence of Chinese businessmen.

This is a very famous event that is destined to be very famous in the whole history, and it will determine the world's Chinese businessmen from dispersion to great unity, from Asia to the world.

Interestingly, shortly after the first World Chinese Entrepreneurs Conference, he returned to the Imperial Central Palace in Kyoto County, and Song Biao accepted two side concubines again in the Lushan Summer Palace, namely Concubine Ning and Concubine Rong, implying Ning An Rongji, and these two concubines are young girls of Kyrgyzstan ethnicity and a pair of sisters.

Song Biao is very fond of them, but behind this favor is the empire's long-term need to stabilize the western frontier.

Many years later, looking back at history, people will still remember more about the first World Chinese Entrepreneurs Conference in 1922, the first China Industrial Exposition held in Shanghai, and the establishment of the Bank of China.

The world continued to develop, at the end of 1922, with the support of China and the United States, Britain announced the return to the gold standard, and the world returned to the order before the First World War.

The debt dispute between China, Britain and the United States did not subside until this time, but this dispute has been fought endlessly since the Paris Peace Conference, behind which is the suppression of British claims by the United States and the counter-suppression of Britain, and the various complexities and bizarreness in the middle would be about 300,000 words if they were to be written into a history book.

All China has to do is to cooperate with the United States, but at the same time, it will not take on those new bonds, it will not issue more debts to Europe, and everything will be borne by the United States, which is vainly trying to become the world hegemon, and China will hide behind the United States and continue to promote its own domestic industrialization, modernization and the second industrial revolution.

The inflation of the First World War has put the whole world in the whirlpool of high circulation currency, and the traditional gold standard has been difficult to continue, except for China, Britain, France and the United States, which are economic powers, including the Ben and the Netherlands, which are the beneficiaries of the First World War, also chose the linked exchange rate system and adopted the British pound as a foreign exchange reserve instead of gold.

Taking advantage of such an international environment, in addition to diversifying the holdings of some foreign exchange such as US dollars and pounds sterling for foreign trade settlement, the empire still mainly uses gold and silver as its main reserves.

By confiscating foreign assets during World War I and the Sino-Soviet War, as well as confiscating foreign property and issuing debts to foreign countries, as well as investing in 175 items, including investment income during the war, the Imperial Central Government became the richest political axe in the world after the Soviet Union, with total assets of more than £4 billion in fixed investment assets and more than $3 billion in foreign debt, as well as more than 4,000 tons of gold reserves in fact.

The imperial royal family is also the richest royal family in the world, at least not before the rise of Saudi royalty.

After the execution of the Tsar and the abolition of the Kaiser, the Imperial Court became the only remaining royal family in the world.

Emperor Song stood at the peak of the top of the world calmly looking down on the changes in the whole world, and in the way he could, he pushed his empire to continue to move forward at a high speed, at the end of the war prosperity of World War I, the empire began to actively seek the growth of domestic demand, with unprecedented boldness to promote the large-scale reclamation of Xinjiang provinces and the construction of industry and commerce, promote the pace of urbanization, increase the industrial and commercial population, reduce the population of agriculture and animal husbandry, large-scale immigration to reclaim the territory of the province, to Southeast Asia, the Indochina Peninsula orderly promote the new immigration tide, transfer the southern population, large-scale transfer of the population of the north to Xinjiang Province, Western Xinjiang, the Far East, the four northern provinces, and Novosibirsk, the purchase of excess cultivated land through the compulsory repurchase policy of the state, the use of credit to support the purchase of cultivated land by farmers, the policy of equalization of land, and the promotion of minimum wages through legislation, so that the people can generally enjoy the benefits of the country's economic development and the development of the imperial territory, so that the people will first become richer, and then promote the growth of domestic demand on this basis.

With the strength of the most powerful central government, the empire continued to promote the construction of infrastructure, dredge water conservancy, build ports and railways, promote the electrification of cities, support the home appliance industry and agricultural machinery industry, and the real estate industry became increasingly important in the national economy.

The Song Emperor was highly wary of American-style consumer ideas, and introduced a new Credit Law to allow the legalization of installment payments in the empire while the number of private installment payments gradually increased, while also imposing more restrictions.

The empire's three stock markets and futures markets in Aurora, Shanghai, and Hong Kong were merged into the China United Stock Exchange and the China United Futures Exchange, and the empire's financial affairs became stronger, with Far Eastern Bank, China Commerce Bank, Nanyang Bank, Jiangnan Bank, China United Bank, Agricultural Bank of China, Bank of Communications, Bank of Shanghai, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Postal Savings Bank of China, and China International Trust Bank all becoming large banks with surnames in the country, and the newly established Bank of China was also menacing.

The success of the Far East has a very prominent influence on the commercial history of the Chinese Empire, and the consortiums within the empire have gradually taken shape, such as the Far East Consortium, the Jiangnan Consortium, the Nanyang Consortium, the Cantonese Consortium, the Jin Consortium, the Huishang Consortium, and the Huguang Consortium have gradually emerged, although the lack of that kind of outstanding first-class chaebol leaders, the efforts of the local merchants to confront the Far East and the Jiangnan have gradually formed large enterprises across the country, and the traditional merchants and chambers of commerce have slowly transitioned, and the trend towards the joint holding group called the big consortium has become more and more obvious. Local small and medium-sized businessmen and entrepreneurs rely on the consortium of regional surnames to develop around various banks, forming the characteristics of Chinese commerce.

With the gradual transformation of the provincial banks held by the provinces into private banks of the consortium during World War I, this trend became more pronounced, with both advantages and disadvantages, and the pros and cons were difficult to measure, but at least in the historical trend of great industrialization, merchants could only adapt to the changes of the times.

Despite the rapid development of the financial and securities industries, the empire maintained a strict regulatory regime for the financial and securities markets, and withdrew the power to issue notes back to the central bank in Ouyang Geng's cabinet.

Different histories have different eras.

Different eras have different histories.

The empire developed a new chapter different from history in this particular era, and it was an unusually strange country to the people of the republic a century later, and although no one was willing to take on it, the empire of this era was somehow more like the contemporaneous Yuben and later Hong Kong, only more prosperous and larger.

When you travel on the mainland of the republic by train, will you get tired of the country's cookie-cutter township architecture that has no aesthetic taste and national cultural characteristics?

You will go back to the architecture of the Republic of China.

Song Biao felt this way.

In July 1923, he recruited the best architects in the country and internationally at the Fourth Lushan Conference, proposed the imperial architectural style, established the Central Architectural Society, and made a large number of standard architectural designs for various regions, combined with local history and tradition, combined with new architectural techniques, and made the architecture of the empire move towards an imperial period called the "Age of Improvement".

Among them, the most typical is the white-walled and black-tile buildings in Huizhou, which was selected as the first of the top ten most beautiful residential buildings in China, and this style has also been promoted to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huijiang, Fujian, Hunan and Hubei provinces, and has been popularized as the most dazzling new architectural vane of the Han nationality.

On the basis of this architectural style, experts adopted new processes and new materials, promoted new paints and new decorations, new firing processes, so that they could be stronger and more beautiful.

The era of reform is a beautiful era, and it will leave people with the most beautiful heyday of Chinese architecture.

During this period, architects made a lot of modifications to the courtyard houses in the north, the arcades in the south, the Hui style dwellings in the south of the Yangtze River, the caves in the northwest, and the Weilong houses in the south to adapt them to the aesthetics of the new era and the needs of new life.

In the history of China, each heyday had its own splendid culture, perhaps thanks to the stability of the alternation of the two dynasties, the development of literature and art and craftsmanship in the imperial era soon showed the style of the new era on the basis of the previous dynasty, and in porcelain, people began to favor painted porcelain with cumbersome patterns and monochrome porcelain with pure colors.

The cultural trend of the imperial reform era produced two new influences, one was Westernization, and the other was retro reformism, and people began to make a lot of improvements and absorption tides on clothing, porcelain, furniture, and architecture.

Monochrome porcelain, which was popular in the Song Dynasty, became popular again, but on the basis of celadon, people multiplied more red porcelain, blue porcelain, and purple porcelain, and porcelain with different pure colors with a retro style became popular, and porcelain painted with Western paintings was also popular.

On the streets, you can see young men and women in suits and dresses, simple school clothes, reformist Tang costumes, and even former dynasty robes and horse coats.

People like to talk about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, even children can have a few allusions to the various allusions of that era, people talk about Xunzi, words must be Han Fei, lament this, praise that, "Longli respects the virtuous, values the law and loves the people" is a very simple sentence, but it can make the old master and young people very happy to accept, as if China should be such an empire, you talk about your Longli and respectful of the virtuous, I talk about my heavy law and love the people, you talk about your Confucius and Mencius, I talk about my Xun Han law.

This is the most liberal era in China's long history, and there is no one.

People's self-confidence was restored, as if they had returned to the Tang Dynasty overnight, returned to the Spring and Autumn Period of the Republic of China, and being a successful businessman, or a soldier became the greatest yearning of young people.

Every year, the holidays begin to increase, every weekend, in the teahouse, the market is always busy, people sit together to buy a bowl of tea and talk about the world, talking and talking about the Shenwu Ye, no matter what topic will be said to the Shenwu Ye, that powerful eyebrows flying color dance.

In the teahouse, the people who talk about cross talk, say comments, and sing tunes at most about the drunken beating of the Japanese Warriors, saying that the Shenwu Masters were drunk on the Korean battlefield and still won the battle.

Peking Opera is still the same craze, and there are even such things as Peking Opera movies.

The emperor likes to watch Huangmei Opera, because it is simple and easy to understand, and the songs are easy to learn, "Sister Lin Fell from the Sky" is his favorite to listen to, so even those who sing Huangmei Opera are everywhere.

Vernacular novels have become very bizarre, martial arts novels and Xianxia novels are always serialized in newspapers with millions of words at every turn, and Xianxia movies are also made in movies, Shanghai is destined to be the earliest film capital in China, where China's most important film talents are gathered, and Shanghai Film College was established very early.

Air conditioners and washing machines from the United States quickly became popular goods, and the same product was also found in the Northeast, with cars walking the streets and alleys.

China's first electrified railway appeared from Luanzhou to Tianjin.

The imperial railway went south to Yunnan, continued south to Bangkok and Singapore in Thailand, north to Novosibirsk, east to Shanghai, Fuzhou and Vladivostok, and the west line was connected to Tehran, and from Tehran to Turkey.

Despite British resentment, the Imperial Railroad was built in a Sino-British joint venture towards Yangon, Burma.

In Hanyang, ground is being broken on China's first bridge across the Yangtze River, the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, which will link the Beijing-Hanzhou Railway to the Han-Guangdong Railway in two years.

In this era that still belongs to the railway, the length of the imperial railway has been second only to the United States, and will surpass the United States in 1925, becoming the world's largest railway empire, in this era of navigation never falls, the empire's four major shipping companies gradually merged into three giant shipping groups, scattered new ports around the world, with more than 117 emerging port cities and towns in the country, Shanghai, Hong Kong has become the world's second only to New York international ports.

With the support of strong finance and national spirit, the education of the empire began to rise as a new model of modern education, the spirit of liberal education combining traditional and modern education allows the people to enjoy universal free education, and the strong financial expenditure is enough to ensure that more than half of the provinces can implement nine-year compulsory education, Central Imperial University, Imperial University of Science and Technology, Northeastern University, and Peiyang University have become the most outstanding models of national universities, and Aurora University, Shanghai St. John's, Fu Jen University, Yenching University, and Nanyang University are models of private universities. The number of university students nationwide has exceeded 1 million, and the number of international students studying abroad has reached 60,000.

The Reich's vocational education and vocational education were inherited from Germany, and to this day continue to recruit teachers from Germany to meet the needs of the expanded vocational education, German and English are the most popular foreign languages, as long as you learn either well, you can be guaranteed to get into a very good public school.

The water conservancy projects of the empire are becoming more and more majestic and magnificent, the agricultural output value and the yield per mu have increased substantially almost every year, the silk and tea developed from agriculture continue to become the symbol of the empire, stop the decline, and once again glow with a new luster and a new youthful color, the porcelain of the empire continues to be exported to Asia, Africa, the United States and Europe, there are porcelain for use, there are high-grade porcelain, there are industrial porcelain, there are special porcelain.

The empire's pastoral production and general categories continued to expand, and the pasture area was already the largest in the world, without one, the output of semi-fine wool and cashmere jumped to the first place in the world, and only the output of fine wool was second only to Australia.

The Empire's animal husbandry exports to the world included beautiful fox furs and deerskins, and on a large scale, the Empire's fishing industry continued to expand into the seas with the support of the state's finances, and thousands of tons of fishing boats penetrated deep into the Pacific region.

In the Andaman Islands, the Empire's fishing industry plunged directly into the vast Indian Ocean, supplying the empire with the world's largest supply of fishmeal, fish bone meal, gelatin, seafood, and a wide variety of canned fish.

The empire's power generation capacity continues to grow rapidly, the empire's aviation industry is also maintained at the world's leading level, almost every provincial capital city in the country has built airports, in Shenyang, Shanghai and Wuhan, the empire has three 10,000-ton hydraulic presses at the same time.

The machine tool industry of the empire is developing rapidly, along with the needs of industrial development, the special machine tools of the empire are developing rapidly, and the total output value of the entire machine tool industry is second only to the United States.

The empire's shipbuilding industry began to become one of the most important leading pillars, cheap labor and abundant local resources are prompting the empire's ships to be exported to all over the world, the empire has completed a historical breakthrough in the export of empire ships by exporting 10,000-ton pocket dreadnoughts to Chile, and the empire has begun to build a brand-new Shenzhou cruise ship, which will surpass the sunken Titanic to become the world's largest luxury cruise ship between China and the United States.

This is definitely the most beautiful golden age in Chinese history, and its territory is unprecedented in the entire history of China, and it is regaining its position as the most powerful country in the world.
