Harding can travel all the way from the Western Continent to the Eastern Continent, naturally he is not a nerd who does not understand current affairs, seeing Wu Feng and the two palmists are silent, although they are quite calm, but the lonely look on his face cannot be concealed, and he is a little sorry in his heart, but he has always been straightforward, I don't know how to say it, seeing such a loss, I can't help but say again:" Your Majesty, two lords, it has been a hundred years since the Western Continent entered the road of new economic development, and the empire has been established for less than a year, and His Majesty has only been in charge of the Western Frontier for a few years.

"What's more, Harding has come all the way west since landing, and has also walked through the imperial town of Jidian, the empire's thriving spirit has begun to appear, and the empire's newly promulgated decrees are gradually implemented in place, Harding is thinking that the empire's economy will definitely be on the right track, and it is logical to catch up with and surpass the countries of the Western Continent. ”

Harding's words made the three of them feel a little better, this famous economist from the Western Continent is not a character who likes to compliment people, if he doesn't like it, it is difficult for him to say a good word, and he can be praised in a few words, which is enough to prove that the empire is indeed praiseworthy.

"I don't know what Mr. Harding has seen and heard along the way, what do you think of the Empire?" asked Su Qin as the first to jump out of the gloom.

"Well, what Su Xiang asked is exactly what Hatting wants to talk about, the current empire is too vast, the economic development within the jurisdiction is extremely unbalanced, the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, the long-term past will inevitably lead to a cycle of evil, and economic development will also be affected, although the empire has taken some measures to promote the improvement and development of poor areas, but it is difficult to rely on policy support alone to achieve significant results in a short period of time, and the longer it drags on, the greater the gap between the places, the more difficult it is for the poor land to catch up, and the expansion of the gap between the rich and the poor will not only make the regional gap deeper, but also deepen the confrontation between various classes, so to reverse this unfavorable situation, the central political axe of the empire needs to have investment and support from all aspects of the region. ”

Harding's words also touched the hearts of the three of Wufeng, this guy is really not simple, he can see the reality of the empire after just chatting for a few months, and he is really an amazing character.

"Mr. Harding is really clever, and he can see at a glance the current difficulties of the Empire, but Mr. Harding should also know that the empire is too vast and has many poor places, and it will not be easy to make a difference in these areas overnight. Xiao Tang interjected.

Harding has made some analyses of the poor land of the Empire, analyzed the causes of its poverty, and summarized that there are no more than three reasons: first, it is located in the border wilderness, or the terrain is limited, and the transportation is difficult, second, the ethnic minority areas, the economic backwardness caused by historical reasons, and third, the frequent wars and turmoil, which lead to the hindrance of economic development and gradual decline. The first is the most numerous and often mixed with the second, such as Burmese, South-Central, East Tengger, and West Indean, while the third refers mainly to the northern part of the empire. In fact, the way to solve the problems in these regions is not complicated, comprehensively carry out infrastructure construction, improve basic functions such as transportation and cities, vigorously develop education, culture and public health, promote the improvement of the quality of regional civilization, comprehensively develop the mineral resources of the region, and develop characteristic industrial and commercial industries suitable for the region. ”

Harding's understatement made Wu Feng and the others couldn't help but snort secretly, that is, the last sentence was enough to make many things difficult to do.

"At present, the Empire's finances should be able to meet all this, of course, the Empire may have its own focus, but I can make a suggestion, I am very surprised that the two important new products in the Empire's possession have not yet been used on a large scale, and in my opinion, even if they want to keep it secret, there is no need to take this method, because it is not very difficult for people who want to study the process of making new products, rather than missing business opportunities, it is better to promote them on a large scale to seize the market and earn the current monopoly profits. Harding's words made Wu Feng and Xiao Su stare at him again.

"Your Majesty and the two adults know what I'm talking about, mortar and glue. Harding said leisurely: "Hasn't the empire already established more than a dozen mortar farms? It is not a good way to be completely controlled by the imperial political axe, and now the empire is comprehensively promoting the construction of roads and other infrastructure in the territory, these more than ten mortar yards are a drop in the bucket, and they cannot meet the needs at all, why not detake these mortar farms and sell them to those merchants and even the private gentry in the empire?" The empire of the obtained funds could have built a number of more mortar farms and sold their shares in the same way, so that a dozen mortar farms could not only become dozens, but how much benefit would they produce? ”

"Although the planting empire of the rubber tree orchard has been released, but the rubber factory is all controlled in the hands of the imperial political axe, which may be feasible in the early stage, but as far as I know, this glue making process has been broken through in some countries on the western continent, and it is no longer a secret that the empire monopolizes, in this case, it is too stupid to want to monopolize the production of this product through secrecy, the empire can completely demutualize these rubber factories, if the empire feels that there is a need to control, it can also sell no more than 50% of the shares, in order to maintain control, and obtain funds to build more rubber factories, I am very optimistic about this new product, it will have a lot of prospects, and not just for making wheels and rain boots, as it is now. ”

Throwing out the two masterpieces that the Imperial Science and Technology Development Department is proud of at once, Wufeng and Xiao Su couldn't help but look at each other, from macro theory to specific work, this Harding seems to have really made a very detailed investigation and research on the empire, Xiao Su and the two even had some doubts about whether this guy was a spy from the Western Continent, but Wufeng was very calm, Harding's reputation he had heard of as early as when he was studying in Heidelberg, but Harding was still lecturing at the Imperial University of Augsburg at that time, and he didn't have the opportunity to see it, this kind of person is impossible to become a spy, and he doesn't have the quality to be a spy。

"Thank you, Mr. Harding, this issue will probably need to be considered by the Empire, but I personally lean towards Mr. Harding's opinion. However, I would like to ask, if the production of these two new products is fully promoted, wouldn't it be easy for the surrounding forces hostile to the empire to also obtain this kind of production process, which may cause harm to the empire. Wu Feng appreciates the frankness of this silver-haired old man very much, he doesn't need to go around in circles, he can say whatever he wants, and he doesn't need to have any scruples.

"No, I don't think so, it's because of choking and waste, if the empire fully liberalizes the production of these two products, especially the production of mortar, it will bring an extremely important boost to the economic development of the empire, although I don't know the production process of these two products very well, but I don't think it will be very complicated, maybe secrecy can delay the process of understanding the other party, but for a huge empire that urgently needs these products to develop the economy, the losses far outweigh the possible negative impacts. Harding's firm tone showed that he was confident in his proposal.

Nodding silently, Xiao Su and Su both had to admit that there was some truth in what the other party said, the empire's too extensive land and unbalanced economic development urgently needed the popularization of these two products to improve infrastructure construction, if it was blindly used as a reason to keep secrets, it would greatly limit the two products from playing their huge role.

"I am a little off-topic, but since His Majesty the Emperor has kindly invited the East to come, Harding feels that it is necessary to make some contributions to the empire, Harding has no other ability, and only to make some suggestions for the empire in this regard, the stock exchange and futures exchange is a more important project, it can not only attract more foreign funds for the empire, but also enable more people to participate in the development of industry and commerce, so that the equity transaction is legalized and standardized, so that investors can benefit from it, so as to stimulate more people to participate, and the people can willingly invest rich funds in industrial and commercial production, rather than for consumption and purchase of landThe futures exchange can effectively regulate agricultural production and avoid industrial risks, so that the empire can regulate agriculture, especially food production. ”

"In addition, I would like to add that I appreciate the laws and policies of the Empire in encouraging new inventions and creations, and at this point the Eastern Continent has finally been able to come to the forefront, and the Western Continent countries are still using the Patent Law It is a good sign that the Empire is encouraging people to use more direct and stimulating policies to inspire all people and industries to invent and innovate, and I hope that it will not be long before the Empire will be at the forefront of the continent in this regard, and I hope that the Empire will be able to go all the way to the forefront of the continent at this point, and that new things will bring infinite power, and perhaps the Empire will return to the top where it once belonged. ”

Harding finally stopped talking, facing the three figures in charge of the empire, he found that he could not control his tongue, if his suggestion can be recognized, it will make the empire have a profound change into an era of change, and his name will go down in history, which is what Harding values most.
