After Wang Yuze's enthronement ceremony, the people gathered in Beijing gradually dispersed, and the high-ranking officials of the provinces and the commanders of the divisions also returned to their respective stations. Next, it is time for the empire to develop in full force, and they, the magistrates, need to continue to return to their respective territories.

After spending half a month in China, Prince Heinrich of Germany bid farewell to Wang Yuze and embarked on a journey back to Germany. During this half month, Heinrich spent most of his time in the Royal Navy, learning in detail about the battles of the Chinese Royal Navy in defeating the Japanese Combined Fleet. After learning about the hit rate of the Chinese Navy, Heinrich was also shocked, because even the German Navy, which has been in the army for more than 20 years, will definitely not be able to do this. It's just that because the Chinese Navy has kept this secret, he doesn't know the specific reason.

In October, King Sangtae of the Ryukyus and King Yi Hee of Joseon resigned, and Wang Yuze agreed. It's just that the Korean princess Min stayed on the grounds of medical treatment. From then on, Wang Yuze would find time to meet with Concubine Min every week, and it was not until three months later, when it was confirmed that Concubine Min was pregnant, that Concubine Min left for North Korea. However, there were specially dispatched personnel from the Military Intelligence Agency to protect him from any problems. After all, the child in Concubine Min's current womb is also the future prince of the empire, and there is no room for mistakes. In the autumn of the following year, Concubine Min gave birth to a boy in Seoul and named him Li Jing. And the Korean king Li Xi, who knew all about this qiē. But there was no way. With China's help, the power of the whole of North Korea is now ready to be under the control of Concubine Min. Li Xi, the king of Joseon, is no different from a puppet at all.

In the month, Prime Minister Liang Xingrong's term of office expired, and he was not seeking another term, so Wang Yuze let Deputy Prime Minister Yang Hua come to power and became the second prime minister of the empire. After that, Wang Yuze visited Liang Xingrong, and Liang Xingrong bluntly asked Wang Yuze to keep a clear head, hoping that Wang Yuze would not continue to be reckless. Bring the entire empire to the point of no return. Wang Yuze assured Liang Xingrong that China will definitely become stronger and stronger, and it will definitely have a place among the future world powers.

With the sound of firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve, the annual ring of history has entered 96 years. From this year onwards, China's Five-Year Plan began to be implemented, and the government made large-scale investments in transportation, industry, and education, throughout China. It was as if it had become a huge construction site and began to develop rapidly. 95 years. China's fiscal revenue is only 280 million yuan, but it is expected that by this year, it will more than double because of the large-scale capital investment.

At the same time, the situation in the Far East was still very tense, and with the support of Britain, France, and the United States, Japan quickly recovered. Begin to rearmament and confront China. It's just that the Japanese navy warships have not yet returned to China, so they dare not resist China. However, everyone believes that there will be a war between China and Japan, at that time. It is time to decide the fate of two countries and two peoples, and the losing side may really fall into a place of no return. For this. Both China and Japan are making final preparations. They all want to lose the next war, they all want to lead the war, become the hegemon of the Far East in one fell swoop, and enter the ranks of world powers.

In the spring of '96, China transferred radio technology to Britain, France, and the United States, and obtained a lot of transfer fees and patent income. China's use of wireless telegraphy in the middle of the war has been known to these countries. It's just that although their research has reached the doorstep, there is still a gap compared with China. As a result, the ministers of several countries offered to buy this technology from China. Considering that these countries would soon master the relevant technologies if they did not sell them in time, China agreed to their request, and by the way, they could make a big profit.

In May 96, Wang Yuze went to Dongying, Shandong Province to participate in the commissioning ceremony of China's first oil refinery, Lutai Petroleum Group, and after half a year of exploration, he finally discovered a large oil field with reserves of more than 100 million tons in the Dongying area. The complete set of oil refining equipment from abroad has been installed and commissioned, and this oilfield, which is named Shengli, will produce more than one million tons of crude oil annually. Although the amount of oil used in China is not large, as the use of oil becomes more and more important around the world, oil will replace coal as the most important energy source.

In June, Wang Yuze summoned the members of the cabinet, the chief officers of the General Staff and the Army and Navy Headquarters, and all gathered at the Beijing No. 1 Heavy Machinery Manufacturing Plant. This is a factory built in the Huailai area on the outskirts of Beijing. Specializing in the production of all kinds of heavy machinery required for the development of domestic industry.

"Prime Minister, what did you say the emperor wanted us to gather here today?" Chancellor of the Exchequer Wang Wenhua asked that after the establishment of the empire, the ministers of various cabinet ministries have also changed their names to ministers. During this time, the Minister of Finance Wang Wenhua lived a very comfortable life, holding a huge amount of three billion yuan, although spending money is like running water, but this feeling of being regarded as the God of Wealth by everyone is very good.

"How do I know? The emperor is coming soon! You'll find out when the time comes! Yang Hua said. It has been half a year since he became prime minister, and although he is Wang Yuze's father-in-law, he has fully cooperated with Wang Yuze's plan in many aspects, so this prime minister is also very happy. Wang Yuze generally only grasps the general direction, and the rest is decided by the cabinet, which makes the cabinet also have a lot of power in its hands, and the two sides get along very well.

Everyone didn't know why Wang Yuze summoned them, but since the emperor had an order, they, who were courtiers, could only put down what they were doing and rushed here.

"Didi!" At this time, two horns suddenly sounded, and then, a four-wheeled, boxy iron shell rumbled in. Countless cabinet ministers and military ministers widened their eyes one by one. Although three-wheeled vehicles that burn kerosene and exmit a pungent smell have become popular in Europe and the United States, they are still quite rare in China, so that many ministers have not yet seen them.

"This? What is this? Someone asked suspiciously.

"Cars! This should be a car. Europe has been there for a long time, but the cars of Europeans are extremely ugly and exude a pungent smell, which is like this one! Someone replied.

Then, the car drove in front of everyone, the door opened, and Wang Yuze and Wang Wei got out of the car.

"See Your Majesty!" Everyone hurriedly saluted Wang Yuze. Of course, it's just a bow. After becoming the emperor, Wang Yuze has already ordered the abolition of the kneeling salute, whether it is the people or the ministers, they only need to bow when they see the emperor.

"Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, how is this guy? It's been a year since we've been producing it! Wang Yuze patted the car in front of him and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this car seems to be a little different from European cars?" Someone asked.

"Of course, are European cars also cars? The 'Zhonghua' cars we develop and produce are much more high-end than theirs. You can get in the car and try it! Wang Yuze said with a smile.

Everyone was already very interested in this novelty, and as soon as Wang Yuze said, everyone immediately surrounded them, touching them here, and touching them there, just like children seeing novel toys.

The 'Zhonghua' brand car is similar in appearance to the Model T that will be produced in ten years, the style is much better than the current car, and at the same time, it uses gasoline as fuel, which is much more powerful and does not produce a pungent smell.

This car, using China's own research of the W-engine, has a power of 0 horsepower and a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, which is similar to riding a horse, but it is much more comfortable than riding.

Soon, with the help of Wang Wei, these ministers began to drive around the square a few times, and after getting out of the car, they all felt very good.

"Your Majesty, this thing is good, why don't you give us a few cabinets and let us try them too?" Chancellor of the Exchequer Wang Wenhua said.

"Yes! But it's going to take a while. The Zhonghua Automobile Factory has already started production, but the current output can only reach about 100 units per month, and the production capacity will probably be increased next year! Wang Yuze said. At his request, China has begun to standardize and assemble production, and at the beginning, it was still in the exploration stage. However, when everything is straightened out, China's industry will enter the fast lane!

"Your Majesty, you can't favor one over the other! Such a good thing, our War Department will also have dozens of them! War Minister Cai Yun said immediately. As soon as they heard that the current production could only reach 100 vehicles per month, everyone immediately scrambled for it.

"Fuck off! You veterans are tired, just ride a horse. Cars should be supplied to us, the civil servants of the Cabinet, first. Foreign Minister Wu Dinh Fong scolded with a smile.

"Aren't civil and military officials the same? At least treat everyone equally! Minister of the Navy Zhang Cheng also interjected.

With everyone's scramble, Wang Yuze had a smile on his face. He plans to immediately register patents for this type of car at home and abroad, so as not to be copied by others, and then expand production capacity as much as possible, not only to sell it domestically, but also to export it abroad. Cars are high value-added products! In addition, the development of the automobile industry will also have a great role in promoting the economy. Isn't the United States in the early 20 years of the twentieth century called a country on wheels? In addition to steel, rubber is also used in the production of automobiles. The Nanyang region is the main production area of rubber, and the expansion direction of China has to be added.
