The rapid development and rapid growth of China's fertilizer industry is just a microcosm, and China's major heavy industry, light industry, and agriculture are developing rapidly.

Chinese businessmen have never been short of money. In the past, it could not develop because the old social system emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, as well as the suppression and bullying of businessmen from foreign powers. What was lacking in the past was the support of national policies, but now Wang Chenhao and his Beiyang political axe abolished the national policy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's heavy agriculture and suppression of business, and resisted the suppression and bullying of foreign businessmen for domestic businessmen, and at the same time, China's technical forces represented by Beiyang Science and Technology began to provide technical and scientific guidance for national enterprises, so the good domestic development environment made these businessmen rekindle the hope of investing in factories.

After the meeting of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the People's Republic of China, Wang Chenhao, the prime minister of the empire, said to the national businessmen: "It is not only by fighting a war that one can become a national hero, the country is poor and weak, and the country is weak and bullied, and investing in factories contributes to the country's economic construction, and the political axe and the people also regard these people as national heroes." This made the blood of thousands of national businessmen boil.

Beiyang Science and Technology has gathered more top international experts, professors and scholars, who have brought a large number of international cutting-edge science and technology to China. In addition to the military technology, other technologies have been quickly put into the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang industrial base of the major factories to practice and application, and with Wang Chenhao became the imperial cabinet premier, the full implementation of industrial reform, from the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang industrial base of cutting-edge technology quickly spread to the industrial base of other provinces of the country, from the private businessmen have technical support, so they have the ability to invest in the factory.

In order to encourage businessmen to invest vigorously in setting up factories, Beiyang Zhengax has formulated a series of incentive policies. For example, a considerable part of unreasonably harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been exempted, countervailing commercial investments in scarce industrial projects in some countries have been countervailed, and tax reductions and exemptions have been granted to enterprises that absorb a large number of idle non-governmental laborers.

Businessmen are born for profit, the state not only gives them money concessions, but also allows them to enjoy the reputation of "national contributors" and "national heroes", which can be said to make them both fame and fortune, so the businessmen's enthusiasm for investing in factories is very high, and a large number of various industrial and mining enterprises have emerged all over the country, almost including all walks of life in the national industry, and even some of the equipment and materials in the military field are also contracted by civilian enterprises.

As far as the Beiyang political axe is concerned, the implementation of tax cuts, tax exemptions, and countervailing measures for national industry and commerce seems to have suffered a big loss on the surface, but in fact it is the opposite. Although the tax reduction and exemption of the political axe suffered losses in the early stage and lowered the fiscal revenue, as a large number of industrial and mining enterprises sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, the tax revenue of industry and commerce increased instead of decreasing.

At the same time, a large number of industrial and mining enterprises continue to expand their scale and absorb more labor force in order to allow the state to further reduce or reduce taxes on enterprises, which virtually helps the political axe to solve a large number of idle labor in society. In order to settle the idle labor force in the society, the political axe needs to spend money to help, and now these idle labor force are flocking to the major factories, so naturally the state is no longer needed to help, but it has reduced the burden on the national finance, and it has provided great help to the stability maintenance work of the Beiyang political axe.

In general, the policy adjustment of Beiyang political axe is just right, so that the political axe, enterprises and the people can achieve a win-win situation.

To produce such a good situation, Wang Chenhao and his Beiyang political axe are certainly worthy of praise in formulating strategies, but the direct success factor is due to Beiyang Technology.

In fact, it is precisely because of the rapid development of Beiyang Science and Technology Heavy Industry that China has mastered the international advanced technology in various fields, and even cutting-edge technology, and it is precisely because of the introduction of these advanced technologies into various fields in China, with advanced technical support, that domestic businessmen can invest in factories with peace of mind, and will not lose money because of the gap with foreign technology.

At the 1899 fiscal year budget meeting, the 99-year development budget submitted by Beiyang Science and Technology Heavy Industry was approved by the National Assembly, and a financial allocation of 20 million dragon dollars was obtained, and Wang Chenhao added a special appropriation budget of 4 million dragon dollars when the final cabinet deliberated. When asked by the National Assembly about the whereabouts of the funds, Wang Chenhao explained that the funds were used to establish the China International Science Foundation to reward major international scientific discoveries or inventors.

Previously, Beiyang Science and Technology had a special fund to reward the contributions of scientists, professors and scholars in various laboratories of Beiyang Science and Technology Heavy Industry. The prize money is very high, because they are all their own people, and they are all serving Beiyang Technology and China.

However, this time, Wang Chenhao established the China International Science Foundation, and the scope of the award has been expanded to all fields in the world in addition to domestic people.

This practice of rewarding money to foreigners has upset a considerable number of members of Congress, who, in their colloquial terms, are eating inside and out, or are fed up.

But the congressmen didn't dare to accuse him in front of Wang Chenhao, but they talked about it behind their backs.

After Wang Chenhao learned about it, in addition to despising these people for being short-sighted, he decided to explain it to them.

So, in the subsequent congressional consultation and Q&A, although no congressman asked about Wang Chenhao's establishment of the China International Science Foundation, Wang Chenhao still explained to them.

Wang Chenhao's explanation is very easy to understand, he just told the congressmen a story they have all heard but not paid attention to, that is, a thousand dollars buy bones.

After Wang Chenhao finished telling the story of buying bones with a thousand dollars, people with a little political acumen understood the truth. The congressmen here are all old political foxes, like Zhang Zhidong, Liu Kunyi, Weng Tongyi, Li Hongzao, Gangyi and others who understood when Wang Chenhao first talked about the beginning of the story, and Yixuan, Yuxian and other parliamentarians who don't like to read ancient books also understood at the end of the story.

Wang's real purpose is to enhance China's international visibility and influence. Because China was a backward slave country in the eyes of people all over the world, it did not attach importance to scientific scholarship and excluded and slandered scientists. Under such circumstances, no one wants to come to China for development, especially those scientists who are arrogant and angry, and they immediately pout and stare at China when they mention it. Most of the scientists, professors and scholars brought in by Beiyang Science and Technology are people who are trapped by funds, forced by life, and excluded by their peers, and they are willing to come to China for the sake of money. As long as they could solve those problems on their own, they would not have come to China, because China is backward, so Wang Chenhao needs to change the international community's impression of China.

Just like Wang Chenhao forcibly passed the "National Personal Grooming Act" before, stipulating that the people have the right to choose their own grooming, can cut their hair without braids, do not call themselves slaves, do not kneel and other regulations, which caused a sensation at home and abroad at that time. That was Wang Chenhao's show in front of the whole world, so that the international community would no longer use braids, slaves, kneeling and other pretexts of contempt for human rights to criticize the backwardness of Chinese society, and proved to the international community that China is entering and integrating into a civilized society.

For this purpose, the China International Science Foundation has set up a prize pool of 4 million dragon coins, and 1 million dragon coins are withdrawn every year as direct rewards, including the manufacture of China International Science Star Achievement Award medals and certificates.

The medal is specified as gold, the medal weighs about 300 grams, the diameter of the medal is about 7 centimeters, and the front is the handwriting of the Chinese tablet relief statue and the China International Science and Technology Achievement Award. Different awards, the back pattern and lettering of the medals are different, including the dragon totem, the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, etc., all of which are representative landmarks of China's surname and play a role in publicity. The winner's name, nationality, surname, and accomplishments are engraved on the top of the design, giving the winners a high sense of achievement. At the same time, the design and wording of each award certificate are different.

The China International Science Star Achievement Award is awarded by the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China in conjunction with Beiyang Science and Technology, and the annual prize amount is set at 50,000 dragon coins. Compared with the Nobel Prize, which has just been established in the world, when the Nobel Prize was first awarded in 1901, the prize money for each item was 150,000 Swedish kronor, equivalent to 20,000 dragon coins, which was equivalent to the salary of a Swedish professor for 20 years. The single prize of the China Science and Technology Treasure Star Achievement Award is 2.5 times that of the Nobel Prize, and it was established before the official release of the Nobel Prize, in addition to Wang Chenhao's purpose of launching China's famous brand, it is not ruled out that Wang Chenhao is jealous that there are no Chinese in the Nobel Prize and takes action to erase the influence of the Nobel Prize.

Since the China Treasure Star Achievement Award is an international award, a series of regulations must be formulated to prove to the international community that the award is just and equitable.

According to Wang Chenhao's suggestion, the Ministry of Education set up a separate National Academy of Sciences to manage the funds, and throughout the selection process, the winners are not affected by any nationality, ethnicity, ideology or religious belief, and the only criterion for selection is the size of the achievement.

In accordance with the research regulations of the National Academy of Sciences, the Peace Prize is selected by the Beiyang Political Axe Council of China, the Physics Prize, the Chemistry Prize and the Medicine Prize are evaluated by the Beiyang Science and Technology Management Committee, the Prize is assessed by the Ministry of Education, the Economic Award is jointly assessed by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the School of Economics of the Ministry of Education, and the Mathematics Award is assessed by the School of Mathematics of the Ministry of Education.

The selection process is as follows: from July to the end of each year, candidates recommended for the Chinese Science Achievement Star Award are accepted. Usually 1,000-2,000 candidates are recommended each year. Those who are qualified to recommend candidates are: previous winners of the Baoxing Award for Scientific and Technological Achievements, members of the Baoxing Award Jury, Beiyang Science and Technology Heavy Industry, specially designated university professors, specially invited professors of the Baoxing Award Jury, President of the Writers Association (Award), International Surname Conference and Organization (Peace Award), in addition, they are not allowed to recommend themselves.

From January 1 of the following year, the jury of the China Science and Technology Achievement Star Award will screen and approve the recommended candidates, and the work will be kept strictly confidential. By mid-March, the list of winners of the Chinese Science and Technology Achievement Star Award was announced. The winners will be presented at 11:18 a.m. on June 24 in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace in Yanjing, where the ministers and wives of the Chinese Prime Minister will attend the ceremony and present the awards.

The reason why this day was chosen to present the award, Minister of Education Cai Yuanpei said that this day was the summer solstice time, but when answering a reporter's question, Nguyen Trung Shu, secretary general of the Prime Minister's Office, revealed that this day happened to be the birth of Imperial Prime Minister Wang Chenhao. When reporters asked if they were currying favor with His Excellency the Prime Minister, Nguyen Trung Shu smiled shyly and said that His Excellency the Prime Minister was the one who initiated the initiative, but the timing was indeed "coincidental". In order to create a good impression on international public opinion, Wang Chenhao made additional provisions during the selection period, that is, China's political axe must not interfere with the selection of the Baoxing Award. Of course, this is just a show on paper, and in fact the various awards cannot be separated from political influence. On the surface, Wang Chenhao's establishment of this award is a bit grandiose, but in fact, it is to search for talents from all over the world, because the huge prize money needs to go to China to collect, as long as these award-winning people come to China, then Wang Chenhao will prepare a series of "big meals" for them, and they will definitely not give up if they are not left in China.

The China International Science and Technology Achievement Treasure Star Award was scheduled to be presented for the first time on June 24, 1899, so the first batch of winners will be nominated and screened by the Ministry of Education and Beiyang Science and Technology Heavy Industry.

The three Peace Prize winners are Frédéric, a French national who founded the International Peace League and the Inter-Parliamentary Union. Passy, the Swiss Jean who founded the Red Cross? Henry? Dunant, as well as Ms. Chen Meili, a Chinese female doctor who led three international hospital ships to Central and South America and the Philippine Islands to treat soldiers and innocent people injured in the war.

The application for international protection of China's three hospital ships caused a sensation all over the world, and they went to the Caribbean Sea and the Philippines to serve the war, but in the name of international rescue, mainly to treat Chinese and American soldiers, but also to treat many local people, distribute a large number of medicines to the local people, and save many lives.

The most important purpose of Beiyang Political Axe to send Chen Meili to the Peace Prize winner is to let the whole world know that China's hospital ships and Chinese doctors are saving lives for the international community, showing China's political axe's international responsibility, and improving China's good international image. At the same time, instead of choosing male doctors, female doctors are mainly to prove to the world that China has completed the reform of its social system, no longer discriminates against women, and releases a signal that China has entered a civilized society.

Two chemistry prize winners, one is the French couple Curie, who discovered the chemical element radium and radium rays. The other is the German chemist Haber and Bosch who are professors at the Beiyang Science and Technology Chemistry Laboratory, who cooperated to create the "Haber-Bosch" ammonia synthesis method, which solves the technical problem of large-scale nitrogen fertilizer production. It has laid the foundation for the large-scale production of human food and has made great contributions.

The two winners of the Physics Prize were the German Roentgen who discovered X-rays, and the French H. Becquerel of Beiyang Science and Technology in China who discovered "uranium rays". The discovery of uranium is of great significance for revealing the mysteries of the structure of matter, and has created the preconditions for the emergence of new disciplines such as radiochemistry, nuclear physics, and radiation medicine.

The winner of the Medical Prize is Artur, a German-Jewish chemist from the Beiyang Science and Technology Laboratory in China. Ai Xing Green and Chinese herbalist Liu Shengxu rewarded them for inventing the anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug Shennong antibiotics, and realizing the large-scale industrial production plan.

Shennong's anti-inflammatory drug is actually a combination of aspirin and the Chinese "Shennong's Materia Medica" to produce the Chinese version of aspirin. At this time, aspirin had just appeared clinically in Germany, and it had not yet been advertised. His inventor was Felix from Germany? Hoffman and Artur? Aichengreen. The latter was also the boss of the former, but because the Germans discriminated against Jews, Bayer's directors attributed the results to Hoffmann's achievements. So the indignant Artur? Dissatisfied with Bayer's ruling, but unable to fight them, by chance he came to China with the help of the Chinese Embassy in Germany and became the main expert of the Beiyang Science and Technology Pharmaceutical Laboratory.

Aspirin at this time was only clinically proven to be anti-inflammatory, so Artur and other laboratory physicians called it an anti-inflammatory. After the project reached Wang Chenhao's ears, Wang Chenhao immediately realized a huge business opportunity, that is, to preemptively register aspirin, and to produce the drug on a large scale before Bayer in Germany to seize the international market.

Wang Chenhao knows the huge influence of aspirin in the international market and the huge profits it brings. But the problem is that the German company Bayer will soon put aspirin into production and start selling, and the two sides will have to wage a war over patents for huge profits.

Therefore, Wang Chenhao specially instructed Liu Shengxu, a physician in the medical laboratory, to let him integrate some Chinese medicine concepts into aspirin to reduce the negative effects of aspirin.

Liu Shengxu is a specialist in traditional Chinese medicine, and he has studied Shennong's Materia Medica, which recorded the pharmacological effects of willow bark as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty 2,000 years ago, which is the main ingredient of aspirin. So he and Artur worked together to add some mild Chinese medicine preparations to the existing aspirin to speed up absorption. In fact, it is to add some phenacetin and caffeine to change the original aspirin to compound aspirin.

In terms of naming, Wang Chenhao was ready to fight a lawsuit for future commercial purposes, so he changed it to Shennong antibiotic. Wang Chenhao knew the huge effect of aspirin, so he told Artur, Liu Shengxu and others that Shennong's anti-inflammatory drugs have antipyretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic and antiplatelet aggregation and other pharmacological effects, play a rapid effect, stable efficacy, overdose is easy to diagnose and treat, and allergic reactions rarely occur. It is often used for colds and fevers, headaches, neuralgia, arthralgia, muscle pain, rheumatic fever, acute internal dampness, arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and toothache.

With Wang Chenhao's reminder and guidance, Artur and Liu Shengxu immediately launched relevant clinical trials, and the results verified Wang Chenhao's statement one by one, and announced the research results and clinical trial data of China's Shennong antibiotics to the world before Bayer in Germany, which was recognized by the medical community all over the world.

At this time, Bayer's aspirin was still slowly being tested in the clinic, and it only knew the anti-inflammatory effect of aspirin, but did not know the other effects of the drug, or did not affirm other effects, and only declared aspirin to be an anti-inflammatory drug.

Bayer has only applied for anti-inflammatory patents for aspirin, while Shennong antibiotics of China's Beiyang Technology have registered more than a dozen drug application patents at once, so it will be very beneficial to the Chinese side when the two sides start a lawsuit in the future.

Similarly, Wang Chenhao chose to sequence Artur and Liu Sheng as Baoxing Award in the field of medicine, in order to publicize their achievements, improve their international influence, and prepare for future lawsuits.

It can be said that from the very beginning, Bayer unwittingly fell into Wang Chenhao's calculations. Bayer is destined to cede huge profits to Beiyang Technology.
