Of course, the prerequisite for wanting to be economically strong is to improve the quality of the people, before Fang Xiaoyu has begun to popularize primary schools, with a strong economy as a pillar of the popularization of primary schools is very fast, only two years of hard work Chinese leaders have reached the level of everyone has a school, not only primary schools, because Fang Xiaoyu's company only recruits workers from the technical schools, resulting in the technical schools are also very popular.

Fang Xiaoyu's major factories are highly paid, and the monthly salary of ordinary workers is also 20 yuan, and the higher the skill level, the higher the salary, and the senior technician can even reach 150 yuan. These wages may not even be considered subsistence allowance in China in the 21st century, but in the current Lanfang Empire, it is already considered a high-wage class, and a family of five here will not need 100 yuan a year just to eat well, and the high salary given by Fang Xiaoyu can be compared from here.

With the money this time, Fang Xiaoyu decided to run a large education, he first proposed 30 million yuan from the indemnity to improve the school's school facilities, and at the same time built ten more middle schools, all using the textbooks written by Fang Xiaoyu himself, in these schools Fang Xiaoyu will not only let the children learn knowledge, but also instill in them the idea of loyalty to the lord from an early age.

Teachers are not a problem, because Fang Xiaoyu found that the nobles in the Lanfang Empire have undergone a good education, even if the poor can't eat, they will definitely ensure the education of their children, which is also a tradition since the founding of the country, because the founding emperor once stipulated that if there is no culture, they will be deprived of the title of nobility.

This regulation of the founding emperor can be regarded as convenient for Fang Xiaoyu, there are a large number of dilapidated nobles in the country who can't eat, as long as these people are collected and given salaries, they are still very willing to be teachers, anyway, the textbooks are ordered by Fang Xiaoyu, and they will not talk nonsense.

These people are used to being bullied by wealthy aristocrats because of their poverty, and they have no good impression of the upper echelons of the empire, on the contrary, they are grateful to Fang Xiaoyu, who hired them with a high salary, and occasionally a few brainless Fang Xiaoyu also fired them under various excuses.

When these people arrived at Fang Xiaoyu, the Chinese leader, they found that there were many scholars and people who liked to study, which made Fang Xiaoyu realize that there were so many potential scientists in the Lanfang Empire, but the government didn't need it.

Fang Xiaoyu attached great importance to these people, and he immediately decided to establish a Chinese University in Tongjiang Fucheng funded by his own group company, as the highest university in China, and those researchers could conduct scientific research while leading students.

In this way, Fang Xiaoyu has added a set of research teams affiliated to the Science and Technology Department of Zhonghua Group Corporation, which is composed of Tesla, Einstein and others, the difference is that the Science and Technology Department of Zhonghua Group Corporation focuses on practical scientific research, while Chung Hua University pays more attention to basic scientific research.

In addition, Fang Xiaoyu recruited a large number of young dilapidated aristocrats from China with an idea, so that these young people with profound cultural heritage were flooded with the tests of Tesla and others, which greatly alleviated the shortage of scientific research manpower, and these people are literate and quick to accept, and they can quickly digest and absorb the scientific and technological knowledge of Tesla and others.

The measures and work of the Chinese collar began to get on the right track, and Fang Xiaoyu once again began the work of "scientific research". The first thing to be established is a pharmaceutical company, and there is no real medicine in this world, and there are limited treatments for everyone's diseases.

In the Western Continent, all kinds of physical therapy can only be used to alleviate the condition, and if there is a disease, bloodletting, that kind of treatment is not of much use except psychological comfort. The Eastern Continent is better, they can be cured by taking a few dozen kinds of herbs, and minor diseases can be cured, and they are helpless when they encounter a slightly larger disease or infectious disease, even if it is royal. Therefore, Fang Xiaoyu planned to start a western medicine company to make drugs that could cure diseases.

The first one that Fang Xiaoyu included in the production plan is sulfonamides, which are easy to manufacture and can be provided in Fang Xiaoyu's chemical factory, and this kind of drug is a universal drug, which basically has a certain effect on all kinds of diseases, especially in the world where antibiotics have not been abused, it is not an exaggeration to call it a miracle drug.

The glass factory is mainly engaged in the manufacture of special glass, after all, Fang Xiaoyu is not good at competing with the Xia family's workshop, and those simple glass products are basically no longer produced now. After years of research and Fang Xiaoyu's data support, the glass factory finally trial-produced a convex lens.

With this key accessory, Fang Xiaoyu can equip the army with telescopes and optical rangefinders, and even special warfare divisions can be equipped with sniper rifles with scopes.

In addition, Fang Xiaoyu felt that military food was not easy to store and carry during the war and the taste was too bad, so he decided to open a food manufacturing factory to specialize in the production of instant noodles, compressed biscuits, all kinds of meat, aquatic products and fruits, canned irons, dehydrated vegetables and other foods, which were supplied to the army and civilian use. Unexpectedly, these convenience foods were very popular after they were put on the market, and they became another profit growth point for Zhonghua Group.

In addition, Fang Xiaoyu's newly established light industry products include newly developed special steel, daily stainless steel products, as well as textiles and clothing, processed food, bicycles, T-shaped safety razors, shampoos, various cosmetics, leather products and old products such as soap, cigarettes, matches, and papermaking, which have created a lot of benefits for Zhonghua Group Company.

Cement, steel, machinery, and chemical products in heavy industry have also achieved good results, and with a large number of unique best-selling products, the profits of trade are naturally quite lucrative, which makes Wu Yu, who is in charge of overseas trade and marketing, feel a little too busy.

In 892, the Chinese collar also had a great bumper harvest in terms of agricultural products, and the output of all kinds of grain reached a terrifying figure, in addition to Fang Xiaoyu's agricultural reclamation company, Fang Xiaoyu also purchased grain from yeoman farmers and put it in the domestic and foreign markets, so that the price of grain in the entire Eastern Continent declined.

Especially within the Lanfang Empire, Fang Xiaoyu put a lot of grain into the market, resulting in a sharp drop in grain prices, the Cheng family would buy grain hoarding in a big way every year during the grain harvest period to raise grain prices and obtain greater profits, this year Fang Xiaoyu's grain selling policy not only did not raise the price of grain, but also dropped a lot, which made the grain merchants led by the Cheng family lose a lot, and the angry Cheng Yuhuan took the opportunity to find trouble with the Fang family several times in the court.

Although Fang Rui and the others had a hard time coping with it in the court, they were smiling secretly in their hearts, this time Fang Xiaoyu must have hurt the Cheng family, otherwise Cheng Yuhuan would not have disregarded his identity so much, after all, food is the foundation of the Cheng family, fortunately, Marshal Xia Jun is always taking care of him in the court, and Fang Rui's pressure will not be too great.

was yin by Fang Xiaoyu once, the Cheng family would not be so willing to suffer, although the Cheng family has not recovered due to the serious injury in recent years, he can stumble on Fang Xiaoyu externally, Cheng Yuhuan sent someone to secretly bring a letter from him to the Cossack Emperor Alexander III.

Cheng Yuhuan is quite insidious, in addition to praising Alexander III for governing the country well, he also hinted that the last time the Cossack Empire instigated the failure of the Monte Empire's invasion was because of Fang Xiaoyu's relationship, and at the end of the year, he also pretended to inadvertently incorporate the northern subcontinent into the Chinese territory, and the desert area of the goblin territory has become a habitable oasis.

The Cossack Empire was a super-empire spanning the Western, Central, and Eastern continents, with a territory of up to 21 million square kilometers, bordering the Yaman Empire and the Habuafsburg Kingdom in the west, the Istanbul Empire and the Persian Empire in the south, and the Monte Empire and the Lanfang Empire on the eastern continent.

Historically, the Cossack Empire was a country that valued land power, but after the invasion of the Istan Empire five years ago was defeated by the combined forces of the Sahr Empire, the Nantes Empire and the Istanbul Empire with a strong navy, the Cossack Emperor Alexander III realized the importance of the navy, and he began to invest heavily in the construction of new ships for the Cossack Empire's small naval fleet.

Self-built warships did not have enough technical reserves for a while, and the time was too long, so Alexander III decided to take a two-pronged approach, he also ordered to the countries of the Western Continent at the same time, so that the Cossack Imperial Navy has jumped from the seventeenth to the fourth in the world in just five years, and all of them are newly built ironclad ships, which made the Cossack Imperial Navy rise rapidly, and soon became a maritime force in the Western Continent that the Thar Empire, which regarded itself as the first naval power in the world, was also deeply feared.

The fleet was there, but there was one more thing that worried Alexander III, and that was the problem of the harbor. In the Cossack Empire, the coastline is mostly in the cold Arctic region, where it is not suitable for the construction of seaports, there are only three relatively good seaports in the territory, one of which is the Paladin Fort located in the depths of the Yad Sea, where the channel is complicated, due to the Viking Kingdom and the Yaman Empire stuck at the exit of the Yad Sea, once a war breaks out, the Cossack fleet will be caught in the urn, and it will be difficult for them to maneuver to the ocean.

The second is the port of Odessa in the Black Sea, where the water depth is too shallow for the use of large ironclad ships, and the Black Sea is an inland sea, and if you want to enter the ocean, you must pass through the Dardanelles Strait, which is controlled by the Istanbul Empire, which has the same problems as the Paladin's Fortress, so it is even more unrealistic to place a fleet here.

The last port is the port of Murmansk, located in the high latitudes, where the climate is too cold, there is a four-month freeze period every year, and there are two months of other travel time to rely on icebreakers to clean the channel, and after the weather warms up, there are many people on the ice floes nearby, which poses a great danger to the safety of the fleet.
