In May, Liu Xian went to Nanyuan three times in a row, each time by car, and stayed in it for a total of seven days. Not a single word of information outside was leaked out, and no one knew what the emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince, who had been buried in Nanyuan for a long time, were doing and watching.

It is impossible for this news to appear in public newspapers, but there is no way to prohibit the discussion of officials and citizens in private. There are all kinds of theories, but the loudest one is the new weapon. Nanyuan has a new new weapon. Thinking of the actions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince during this time, countless people believe that China has made another major progress in airship manufacturing!

A very simple biplane soars in mid-air, it is only one or two hundred meters above the ground, it is also very fragile, it may be loaded with a machine gun on it to scatter the whole aircraft, it flies for a short time, many tests have not exceeded 20 minutes. But it meant a new page in the history of aviation.

"Father, the superiority of the future of the aircraft is indeed not comparable to that of an airship. It's just that the aircraft will be tested in the coming day, and the Nanyuan is too small. ”

The prince didn't know if his father's actions would make Europe's eyes on the airship, but he was now extremely confident in the fragile new thing of the airplane. Just give him two years, and he can make the current air supremacy vulnerable.

"The skies of the future belong to airplanes. We can hide this new thing in Xinjiang and Outer Mongolia, and we can keep the eyes of most people from visiting, but it is impossible to keep all the secrets. ”

The status of the state is different. As the world's largest power, New Qin's every move is watched by the Western powers. Especially on the weapons!

The sign of the car in front of the car and the teacher of the future. Westerners who have suffered a big loss will not plant their heels twice in a pit.

Moreover, it is impossible for China to completely eradicate the existence of traitors and traitors. It is not that the Chinese are of inferior quality and have no patriotism. But no country in this world can completely eliminate betrayers. The French don't talk about him, Britain and Germany have deep roots in China. Foreign banks and companies in their countries once had a large number of Chinese employees in China, and at the same time had close contact with many officials in the officialdom, which are all potential groups of 'betrayers'. It's too unrealistic for the plane to be completely secret.

However, Liu Xian is still very satisfied with his son. He seems to have been born with talent and luck in aviation, how long has it been? The airplane was built. Liu Xian didn't mind the poor performance of the aircraft at this time, and he knew how quickly the performance of the aircraft improved in the early years of its birth. A biplane is not a monoplane. Improving its performance is a completely pediatric problem for China, which now has a lot of scientific and technological strength.

With all its efforts, in three to five years, China will be able to have fighters of the same level in the middle and late stages of World War I. The bulky airship will become vulnerable in front of these nimble little dragonflies, like pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Liu Xian has no other 'new weapons' to invent. In addition to the aircraft, only the concept of battlecruisers and dreadnoughts is still hidden in his heart, but to build a dreadnought, you must have the ability and speed to build a battleship of the pre-dreadnought era. China is still accumulating!

It had only been five days since Liu Xian returned to ZN Hai, and the Ministry of State Security reported that it had caught three guys who were on the edge of Nanyuan. Liu Xian knew that this was the beginning. In the future, intense counter-espionage warfare will take place not only in the military, but also in all aspects of the country.

The Cabinet is conducting an intense summer grain count. Liu Xian is waiting for the report of the national summer grain. The current cabinet statistics are not limited to China, but also North America, Nanyang and Yanzhao, even though the communication is much more convenient than before. It's more time-consuming.

At the same time, the cabinet will also hand over to Liu Xian the country's economic development summary in the first half of the year, and China's recovery in the past six months is visible to the naked eye. Don't talk about other places, only the Beijing-Tianjin area. Three new industrial parks have been opened, and there are more than 1,000 new small enterprises with a registered capital of more than 100,000 yuan. There are more than 30 large and medium-sized enterprises with a registered capital of hundreds of millions of yuan. From the production of tobacco, alcohol and matches, to non-staple food, bicycles, machinery parts, machinery manufacturing and automobile manufacturing. As well as huge investment in distant-water fishing and transportation companies, etc., it is a hundred flowers blooming, which makes people happy to watch.

The prices of various types of industrial products in China have been continuously reduced, and the market prices of kitchen knives and iron pots, which are essential for every family, have generally decreased by 20% compared with last year. Moreover, the rise in the price of cloth during the war seems to have prompted the real popularization of shorts and shorts in China, and the traditional costumes with a lot of cloth and complex craftsmanship have faded from the society little by little in two or three years, just like the hair on men's heads, and slowly growing short hair has become a social phenomenon.

The second popularity of shorts and shorts has also led to a new development in the garment manufacturing industry. Even after the end of the war, there was another counterattack in the rate of Hanfu wearing, and shorts and shorts completely occupied the majority of Chinese society. Ready-to-wear garments of various numbers appeared in small stalls and shops in the streets and alleys, and there were many specialty stores specializing in selling ready-to-wear garments, which was a big explosion in China's garment industry, and there were 135 garment companies with registered brands in the country. Although these ready-to-wear outfits are very shabby by today's standards. The style of the clothes is also very simple. T-shirts, T-shirts, long sleeves, and shorts have been introduced one after another. However, the main sales targets of ready-to-wear are men and children, and the proportion of women's clothing is very low.

The impact of the war on Chinese society was enormous. Because of the war, the four industries of canned food, biscuits, ham sausages and other convenience foods and sweets have developed rapidly. Both the taste and the seal are much better than before the war.

Originally, China's sugar refining industry was somewhat self-sufficient, and the sugar beet cultivation industry in the northeast had not yet formed a scale, but now China has Nanyang, and large sugar cane plantations provide China with a huge amount of dried cane sugar. Domestic high-level sugar factories use these raw sugar to produce white white sugar and all kinds of fruit sugar, milk candy, brown sugar, and rock sugar.

China is the world's most populous country, and sugar consumption is terrifying, even if the per capita is not as good as that of European and American whites, the total number can be dazzling. As a result, sugarcane plantations quickly became the third pillar industry in Nanyang after rubber plantations and rice plantations.

The prices of all kinds of sugar products are falling sharply, but the huge profits are still making sugar cane plantation owners double.

In April, Liu Xian received a box of tribute from the Liuzhou Sugar Company, which was full of all kinds of candy.

Various flavors of fruit hard candy and toffee, chocolate candy, and the latest new invention of Liuzhou Sugar Company - fruit gummies.

Fruit gummies are not an uncommon thing, Turkish delights have been famous in Europe for hundreds of years. Delight has also appeared in China for a long time, but it was previously used more as a dessert at dinner tables than as a commodity. Liuzhou Sugar Company has opened up a very good road to wealth for itself.

Liu Xian waited until early June to get the national summer grain statistical table. Speaking of this as a table, it is actually a thick booklet that records the grain production of each county in various parts of the country. This year, last year, the year before that, you name it. Even if the grain production of which county has decreased, the reasons are also appended.

This year, China's total summer grain income is 121.066 million tons, that is, more than 240 billion catties, and the national per capita ration is about 400 catties. That's an 11% increase from last year's figures. There will be a large harvest in Nanyang in the next year, followed by autumn grain, and the Food Administration of the Ministry of Agriculture predicts that this year's per capita ration should reach 700 catties. By the time the land reclaimed by the immigrants next year also harvests grain, the average food ration of the Chinese will exceed 1,000 catties, which is just around the corner!

The famine is getting farther and farther away from China!

On the day he received this statistical table, Liu Xian was a little drunk.

He had Concubine Xi in his arms, the youngest concubine in Liu Xian's harem, who had not yet raised children. He was just twenty-two years old.

"My greatest wish in this life is to make China dominate the world. Let the Pacific Ocean become our China's inland sea, let Britain, France, Germany, Russia and the United States, and let the entire West prostrate under my feet. ”

"The shame of the two Opium Wars is heartbreaking. The great shame will be repaid by Britain and France in the future. ”

"That's why since the founding of the country, I've repeatedly raised up troops. It's about competing for the planet. However, I also do not want to see the hardships of the people in the country, and the reckless use of military force is not what I want. ”

"If my country is the most powerful country on earth, my people will also be the richest people on earth at that time."

"It's going to take little by little. I know. Therefore, I built water conservancy and reclaimed the northeast and northwest, so that my people could first eat their stomachs. Let the famine stay away from my land of China. ”

Concubine Xi's big beautiful eyes looked at Liu Xian with reverence, her eyes blinked, and her eyelashes opened and closed like two small fans. "Your Majesty is the real Emperor of the Ages. Pseudo-Qing Kangxi, it is not worthy of lifting shoes for His Majesty. ”

Liu Xian laughed. A woman's reverence and affection can really make a man's adrenal glands soar. But Concubine Xi's words, he likes it. Hugging is a fierce kiss. After kissing me for a while, Liu Xian continued to talk.

"Does Concubine Ai know about Ding Wuqi? I seized the world so easily, the incompetence of the Manchu Qing Dynasty came first, and the Ding Wuqi famine also played a big role. ”

"The concubine knows. The queen mother has repeatedly warned the sisters in the palace with Ding Wuqi famine, self-simplicity and frugality, and no squandering and waste. ”

"No matter how simple you are, where can you be simple? It's just a few dishes, a few pieces of clothing and jewelry. Those who have not experienced famine will never understand the importance of food. ”

"I haven't experienced famine, and I'm not really thrifty. After two years, I am still ready to restore the Old Summer Palace. Thrifty there? ”

"The wealth of the world depends on the dynasty and the governance, not the leftovers. You women in the inner palace, just make a show. With the queen's virtue, do you really think that she will believe her words and let you be simple and economical? Hahaha......" (To be continued......
