The Chinese people's worship of power is deep-rooted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Under the erosion of thousands of years of "official-oriented" thinking, the idea of "crushing people to death at the level of officials" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, let alone being the master of a country, it is simply not enough to express the reverence in my heart without bowing down.

Even in the 21st century, there are still many Chinese people who use kneeling to convey strong emotions.

And at the beginning of the 20th century, this was simply inevitable - no, it should be said that this was simply a matter of course, from Huang Bohan to the pendulum boy, everyone thought that this way to welcome Qin Zhiyuan's return.

Therefore, when Qin Zhiyuan and Huang Bohan were greeting, the crowd that came to greet them was like a wave of people who were pushed down by rows, and there were shouts of "long live" everywhere.

This interview scared Julie a little.

Qin Zhiyuan also felt uncomfortable.

But at this time, no matter what he said, it was inappropriate, so Qin Zhiyuan shook hands with the cabinet members and industrial and commercial representatives who came to greet him as quickly as possible, and then boarded the car that was already waiting for him with Julie and left the dock quickly.

Originally, it was expected that there would be a parade of floats, but Qin Zhiyuan insisted on canceling it, because Qin Zhiyuan was not sure whether it would cause more chaos at that time.

When I got to the palace and sat down in the spacious council room, it felt much better.

This chamber was the banquet hall of the former Governor's Palace, and it was spacious and well-lit, and it is very suitable for use as a council chamber now.

Of course, in terms of Chinese habits, it is more appropriate to call this place "Jinluan Palace".

However, it is obviously a bit unworthy of the name, because Qin Zhiyuan doesn't like glittering things, if it is really decorated to look like gold, it will definitely not attract Qin Zhiyuan's liking. However, it is impossible not to express the majesty of the royal family, so the decoration of the council hall strives to be simple and atmospheric, which does not make people feel empty and complicated, and it takes a lot of thought.

Qin Zhiyuan's seat was naturally in the middle of the chamber, and there was a huge map of Lanfang behind him, which now included Sakhalin Island and Kamchatka and a large area of Siberia, and the Lanfang national flag and military flag were on both sides of the map.

The pattern on the military flag is a combination of guns, swords and shields handed down by the Foreign Legion, removing the exploding cannonball, and using an all-red background, which symbolizes that Lanfang's military flag is dyed red with the blood of countless soldiers.

Of course, Qin Zhiyuan's actions are special, but he can't sit on three or five without being too crowded, but it's more than enough for one person.

This "throne" is carved from a whole piece of golden silk nanmu, the growth cycle of this thing is extremely slow, and it is really precious and abnormal to grow into such a big thing and I don't know how many years.

But it's a pity that Qin Zhiyuan sat down with a feeling of a pearl secretly casting, because Qin Zhiyuan didn't know the value of this thing sitting under his buttocks, he only knew that there was a trace of fragrance surrounding him when he sat down, even if he didn't use incense, it could make people feel refreshed.

Huang Bohan wants this kind of feeling, which is not surprising at first glance, but if you taste it carefully, there is low-key luxury everywhere, and the majesty of the royal family is often revealed inadvertently.

For example, the four treasures of the study, paperweights, pen washes and other small things on the cases in front of Qin Zhiyuan, even the most inconspicuous ones, are all classic heirlooms of the masters of the previous dynasty, and they are all priceless when taken outside, but now they are in Qin Zhiyuan's hands, even if they are not used once in a year or two.

In other words, with Qin Zhiyuan's current status, he doesn't need to rely on these things outside his body to emphasize his status, even if he buys the most common one on the street, as long as Qin Zhiyuan uses it, he will be given a special meaning immediately, which is the so-called "cultural relics".

Well, Qin Zhiyuan now has its own value-added effect.

In fact, Qin Zhiyuan has explicitly abolished the red tape of kneeling, and the common etiquette between the upper and lower respects is to shake hands and bow, under this premise, the cabinet members who attended the meeting in the chamber naturally did not have to bow three times and knock on the mountain to shout long live, they all had their own seats, and they also had their own cases.

Of course, compared to Qin Zhiyuan's wide desk the size of a workbench, the cabinet members' cases were much smaller.

It's enough anyway.

“…… Since the beginning of the year, Lanfang's economic situation has been steadily improving, with an output value of 36 million yuan and a tax revenue of 1.7 million yuan in January; The output value in February was 47 million yuan, and the tax revenue was 2.5 million yuan; In March, the output value was further increased to 59 million yuan, and the tax revenue was 4.1 million yuan; By last month, the output value had reached 88 million yuan, and the tax revenue was 6.5 million yuan. It is expected that the output value will exceed 100 million yuan this month, and the tax revenue will exceed 8 million yuan......" As the prime minister, Huang Bohan first reported on the overall form.

At the level of Lanfang's cabinet, the quantitative output value will naturally not be measured in foreign currencies such as francs, pounds, and US dollars, but in Lanfang's own currency.

The "yuan" issued by the Lanfang government has a gold content about the same as that of francs.

With regard to the "gold content", during the world war, countries abandoned the "gold standard" system in which currencies were linked to gold, and now that the world war has ended, the "gold standard" is showing signs of recovery.

However, Qin Zhiyuan is not ready to link "yuan" to gold, because Qin Zhiyuan knows very well that even if it is linked now, he will be forced to give up in the near future, and the Great Depression is not a joke.

When listening to Huang Bohan's "Government Work Report", Qin Zhiyuan kept a smiling expression.

Huang Bohan was so exquisite, he still noticed Qin Zhiyuan's doubts, so he took the initiative to explain: "Our commercial tax varies from high to low, half of which is about 10 percent, and the agricultural tax is basically not there now, and only state-owned farms can contribute a part of the income." There is good news, if we extrapolate according to the output of agricultural products last month, we have now basically solved the problem of rations, and the rice produced by Lanfang can basically supply our consumption, if we add sea and mountain goods, our food and clothing are not a problem. ”

See, that's what population and living space are all about.

It was not until the end of the 20th century that the Republic of China basically solved the food ration problem, but here in Lanfang, it is a matter of three or five months.

This is still under the premise that the degree of land development is far from being saturated, and if Lanfang's land can be fully developed, it will be no problem to feed another thirty or fifty seven million people.

Of course, three crops a year is one reason, and Lanfang's current population shortage is another reason, and it is the main reason.

Lanfang now has only 7 million people, which cannot be compared with the 450 million of the Republic of China, if Lanfang has the same population as the Republic of China......

It's not too much of a problem, after all, there is still Siberia......

Seeing Qin Zhiyuan nodding again and again, Huang Bohan continued to report: "If compared with the previous period of Dutch colonial government, our current output value is basically the same as the same period last year, but considering that the export of basic raw materials, including oil in the Daqing Oilfield, has been reduced, our current output value has far exceeded last year, if you count those that have not yet been calculated, the current output value has exceeded last year by 2.5 times, and if it reaches the end of the year, this number will be further expanded." ”

During the Dutch colonial period, Lan Fang's economy was dominated by the export of industrial raw materials, and it was not even self-sufficient in food.

After the establishment of Lanfang, Qin Zhiyuan built a factory in Lanfang, striving to change the state of exchanging resources for survival, and preparing for deep processing of raw materials to seek greater added value.

In this way, Lanfang's exports are actually reduced compared to last year, but if you wait for a period of time, when Lanfang's deep processing begins to take shape, then there will be an explosive growth.

Qin Zhiyuan is not in a hurry about this, the establishment of the industrial system must be gradual and cannot be achieved overnight.

Compared with the Republic of China in another time and space, Lanfang has better international relations and international resources, at least now Britain, France, the United States and other countries do not set up technical barriers to Lanfang.

Lanfang can smoothly obtain all the technologies it wants, which means that Lanfang can learn the scientific research results that Britain, France, the United States and other countries have taken hundreds of years to obtain in a few years, which is of great significance for the improvement of Lanfang's industrial strength.

At present, Lanfang may not be as good as Britain, France, the United States and other countries on an industrial basis, but in fact it is much better than Germany, which has been demolished into ruins, and the equipment that Lanfang pulled back from Germany is also more advanced than the machinery and equipment in Japan.

If you compete with the existing strength, Lanfang is indeed not as good as Britain, France, the United States, and even Japan and Italy, but if you fight for potential, Lanfang is currently at least on the same level as Japan and Italy, and may even be stronger.

Of course, that will be after all the factories have been built, at least five years later.

Lan Fang's future is bright, which can be confirmed not only by Qin Zhiyuan, but also by the cabinet members present.

“…… Now that His Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Queen have returned to the country, and Her Royal Highness is pregnant, and the birthday of the little prince is imminent, then there will be few people in the palace to serve, and our cabinet means that there should be some palace maids and female officials in His Majesty's palace, especially the Chinese......" Huang Bohan's report changed its flavor as he did it, and began to involve Qin Zhiyuan's private affairs.

"The Little Prince" doesn't know where Huang Bohan got the news, so he swears to confirm it.

Maybe it's not a confirmation, it's just a good wish.

"Private affairs", this is just Qin Zhiyuan's own opinion, in fact, the Chinese tradition should be "the heavenly family has no selfish affairs", as long as anything involves the royal family, it is not a private matter, but a "public matter" that can no longer be public.

Looking at Huang Bohan's meaning, as well as the magnitude and frequency of the nods of the cabinet members, it is estimated that they have gone through preliminary communication and formed a consensus.

"This ...... Let's talk about it, let's talk about it again. Qin Zhiyuan didn't dare to agree rashly, considering the rapid change in Julie's mood when she was pregnant, Qin Zhiyuan didn't want to stimulate Julie now.

"Your Majesty, everything else can be up to you, but this matter cannot be delayed." Huang Bohan insisted.

Tsk, this old man is quite stubborn!

Qin Zhiyuan just wanted to refute, but suddenly understood what Huang Bohan meant.

Yes, Lanfang is a country with Chinese as the main body, but Queen Julie is a Westerner, if Julie is really a "little prince" in her belly as Huang Bohan said, then wouldn't the next king of Lanfang be half a foreigner in the future?

No, no, no, this is the real mess with my bloodline!
