Chapter 300 Wooing Three

After the Yaman Empire refused to stop the general mobilization, the Saar and Nantes Empires announced a national mobilization, followed by the Kingdom of Hablasburg and the Grand Duchy of Sardinia on the same day. The Entente and the Confederate powers soon declared war on each other, and on July 19, 902, the Great Melee between the powers of the Western Continent finally began.

Fang Xiaoyu heard the news of the war between the countries when he was inspecting the newly established Rocket Research Institute in the Wild Continent, and when he heard the news, Fang Xiaoyu smiled slightly: "After making so many preparations and provoking for so long, they finally started a war, it seems that our materials have a market." ”

Then he ignored the news and walked into the laboratory. "Zhonggong, how's the situation?" Fang Xiaoyu began to ask as soon as he entered the laboratory.

Seeing Fang Xiaoyu walk into the laboratory, Li Zhonggong, who was doing the experiment, immediately put down the tools in his hand, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, Weichen is really dull, even if you give me a full set of information, I still don't understand it, the minister is really dull, please punish the emperor." ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled and pulled Li Zhonggong up from the ground and said, "Why did Zhong Gong get angry after not seeing him for a few days, how can you old brothers who have been with me for many years call the emperor here, or call me young master, listen kind." ”

Li Zhonggong hurriedly objected: "How can this be, the emperor has already ascended the throne." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "What is not ascending the throne, I can have today's status is not because you old brothers helped me fight, I will decree today that in the future, the old brothers will not kneel and bow when they see me, and they will not be called the emperor's ministers, and they will all call me young master." ”

Li Zhonggong said excitedly: "Young Master is really considerate of us, I am enthusiastic about this, it seems that I have returned to the time when we first met in Lanting Villa." ”

Fang Xiaoyu patted Li Zhonggong on the shoulder and said, "What's the good of being the emperor and being a lonely man, if you old brothers are all separated from me, it's not interesting for me to be the emperor." From today onwards, I will abolish the old etiquette, and the majesty of the emperor is made by himself, not by bowing down. ”

Li Zhonggong said with tears in his eyes: "It turns out that the young master has not changed, and he is still our young master." ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "I will never change." Zhong Gong, this rocket lab is a very important project for us in the future, you need to be careful. ”

Li Zhonggong was puzzled: "But these things are too difficult, and I don't know anything about them after watching them for a week." Can the young master let me meet the master who wrote these papers, I want to ask for advice in person, and let me worship him as a teacher. ”

The paper was researched by Xiaofeng, how to get him out. Even if Fang Xiaoyu could let Xiao Feng say the answer in his mind and answer by himself, these things were too advanced and profound, and he couldn't even learn the tongue. Fang Xiaoyu had no choice but to say helplessly: "This master Shenlong can't see the head but the end, and I don't know his whereabouts." There's no way to introduce you, so you'll have to do your own research. ”

Li Zhonggong shook his head and said: "It's too difficult, two days ago we tried to build a rocket engine, but it exploded as soon as it started." ”

Fang Xiaoyu spread his hands and said, "I can't do anything about this, you can only study it yourself." The jet engine that Brother Feng studied there is also very tricky, if you think this is too difficult, you can change it with Brother Feng. ”

Li Zhonggong shook his head and said, "Forget it, I went to see it a few days ago, and it's difficult enough, I'd better overcome the difficulties by myself." ”

Walking out of the test laboratory, Fang Xiaoyu shook his head. This rocket engine is the first step to go home, even if it is difficult, it must start immediately, but fortunately, with Xiaofeng's help, I believe that with the guidance of the thesis, Li Zhonggong should be able to succeed.

Now Xiaofeng has not yet been promoted to level six, there are restrictions on all aerospace technology, it can only conduct theoretical research and cannot conduct practical research, and the resources used to upgrade are far away, from several races only collected a total of eight hundred tons of rough diamonds, and now it has to rely on ordinary scientists.

"Little Wind." Fang Xiaoyu began to call for chips again.

Xiao Feng said: "What's the problem, master?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Can we start nuclear energy research?" "Whether it is an atomic bomb or a nuclear reactor, Fang Xiaoyu wants the most, and when he came to inspect the rocket laboratory today, he suddenly thought of nuclear weapons.

Xiao Feng said: "You can study it, but it's useless here." ”

"Useless?" Fang Xiaoyu said strangely: "How can it be useless?" ”

Xiao Feng said: "Because according to my scanning, there is no uranium ore on this planet at all. ”

"What?" Fang Xiaoyu exclaimed: "No uranium ore? Oh my God, my nuclear weapons, my nuclear reactors are gone. ”

Xiao Feng said strangely: "Is the primary power of nuclear power good?" How do I not think? ”

"Beginner? Does this mean that there is anything better? Fang Xiaoyu said in surprise.

"Yes, there are many weapons that are more powerful than nuclear weapons, and there are many power sources that are better than nuclear power, and nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors are just the initial exploration of super-powerful weapons and perpetual motion machines." Xiaofeng replied in the affirmative.

Fang Xiaoyu said, "Can you tell me what it is?" ”

Xiao Feng said: "Those technologies are too far away from you, and it's useless to tell you now." ”

Since Fang Xiaoyu knew that there was something better than nuclear, he was not in a hurry, anyway, sooner or later. "Your Majesty, where are we going now?" Seeing Fang Xiaoyu sitting in the back seat as soon as he got into the car, the driver finally couldn't help but ask.

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "It's nothing, let's go back to the palace." ”

The powerhouses of the Western Continent are already gearing up and ready to fight. The Chinese Empire was still immersed in technological innovation and the expansion of production, and Fang Xiaoyu even began to consider hosting the first National Games and motor racing competitions funded by the royal family, the former of which could stimulate the desire of the people to enhance their own physique and improve the physical fitness of the whole people; The latter can stimulate the development of automobiles and accelerate the speed of scientific and technological progress.

Fang Xiaoyu understands very well that now is far from the time to do it himself, and the most important thing at the moment is to strive to develop his own scientific and technological and industrial and commercial capabilities to prepare for the upcoming product dumping.

At present, the development of the Chinese Empire is still very uneven, and the land of the old Chinese Territory has convenient transportation, modern large and medium-sized cities abound, and intensive large-scale industries are very developed.

In the area controlled by the former Lanfang Empire government and the other three lords, the city is dilapidated and dirty, except for the railway built at the request of Xiahou Ying, even the cement roads are rare, and the economy here is still mainly agricultural, the industrial scale is very small, and many of them are handmade.

A large amount of land was in the hands of the landlords, and the social composition was still semi-feudal and semi-slavery. The current Chinese Empire has a fight with the United States before the Civil War, but it is only because of the absolute superiority of the army in Fang Xiaoyu's hands that there will be no war.

The current Chinese Empire can be described as full of contradictions, but Fang Xiaoyu has no time to sort it out slowly, nor can he solve all problems with a war like the United States, but fortunately, most of the land is concentrated in the hands of a few major families, especially the Cheng family, which occupies forty percent of the country's arable land, and their land, along with tens of millions of slaves, has entered Fang Xiaoyu's hands. With such convenient conditions, Fang Xiaoyu launched a series of policies after careful discussion with Huadongxing and other loyal ministers.

The first to be introduced was naturally the old-fashioned plan for the construction of transportation facilities, and now although a large amount of the funds of the China Consortium have been absorbed into the hoarding of materials, the other major families are very rich.

After a series of negotiations, Fang Xiaoyu signed a series of agreements with the three major families. First of all, the imperial government allowed the four major families of Fang, Xia, Wang, and Xiahou to contract the construction of domestic railways and highways, and agreed that all the revenues of the railways would be owned by each family within a certain number of years, and the highways could set up toll stations, but the price of tolls, the number of toll stations, and the time of tolls must follow the strict regulations of the state.

The Zhonghua Consortium will provide a series of technical support to the four major families to help them establish companies in several industries, which can be regarded as Fang Xiaoyu's compensation for these major families for supporting their peaceful unification of the country and becoming emperor, and in addition, the four major families promise to fully cooperate with the empire's policies on agricultural issues.

Fang Xiaoyu knew very well in his heart that if the Chinese Empire only had one company as a pillar, it would not only be easy for itself to be unenterprising, but also cause many problems, so he focused on supporting the other three consortia as a supplement to the Chinese Consortium and maintaining the domestic economic balance.

Dongmeng County has a large number of military horse farms and livestock farms of the Chinese Consortium, Fang Xiaoyu sold these industries to Wang Jiaxuan and the consortium at a low price, of course, Fang Xiaoyu revealed a situation to Wang Xuan, with the popularization of internal combustion engines, the status of military horses in the army will decline significantly, he suggested that Wang Xuan should instead breed racing horses, and at the same time let most military horse farms transform into breeding cattle and sheep livestock.

In order to support Wang Xuan's animal husbandry, he also transferred his skills in high-temperature sterilization of milk, non-toxic packaging, and making various canned meat at low prices, and helped the Xuanhe consortium establish a large number of meat and dairy food processing plants.

Fang Dingguo's Guofeng Consortium has always been the leading enterprise of the Chinese collar in cotton spinning and garment making in the past, in addition, they also have a part of the steel industry, this time Fang Xiaoyu helped the Fang family expand the steel industry, and gave them a part of the petrochemical technology, after all, it is his own family, this discount still has to be given more.

The Xia family's Zhongxia consortium is in charge of Fang Xiaoyu's father-in-law Xia Yuhui, the Xia family was originally the leader of the Lanfang Empire's manufacturing industry, only due to the rise of the Chinese consortium to rank second, but its heritage is still quite deep, especially with a large number of technicians and skilled workers, they also have a considerable advantage in establishing factories, for which Fang Xiaoyu not only divided part of the iron and steel enterprises and mechanical processing industry to the Zhongxia consortium, but also divided part of the light industry in his hands, especially the chemical enterprises that manufacture nylon.
