Hearing this, Huo Shan groaned slightly, nodded and said, "Teacher, let's do this first, I believe the situation will be much better after two years!"
Noticing the calm look on Huo Shan's face, Huang Sheng didn't know what big idea he had in mind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He didn't ask much either.
Subsequently, after the two talked about important matters within the Government Council, Huo Shan sent Huang Sheng out of the house.
When he turned around and came back, he happened to meet his mother who was helping Helen out and Ping'er next to him, seeing the three of them talking and laughing, Huo Shan was also relieved.
Finally, her mother didn't show anything unusual about her, a white daughter-in-law, which made Huo Shan breathe a deep sigh of relief in his heart.
"Mother, Helen, Ping'er!"
Although Ping'er is still Huo Shan's personal maid, she has grown into a big girl, and at the age of sixteen, her body is almost grown.
And the appearance is also superb, after all, it was selected by thousands of choices, and the natural conditions are not bad.
"Husband, young master!"
Two different titles, the former is naturally Helen, and the latter is Ping'er.
Seeing his son, Wang Xiangjun nodded, "Ping'er, you come and help Helen to walk outside." Xiaoshan, you come in with me!"
Hearing this, looking at his mother who turned around and wanted to walk towards the hall, Huo Shan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Helen and Ping'er, and after seeing that they also looked like they didn't know why, Huo Shan smiled, and then made a 'I'm in, I'll come back to accompany you later' at the two women. He hurriedly followed behind his mother and walked in.
"Mom, what are you looking for me?" closed the door. Looking at his mother sitting on the main seat, Huo Shan asked with a smile after sitting down next to him.
"Alright, don't be hippie and smiley, be serious!"
"Let me ask you, the Li family, and the granddaughter of the He family have been in our house for almost half a year. Tell me, when are you going to get married?"
"I knew you were going to ask this?" Huo Shan thought to himself.
"Mom, I'm planning to do it next year. Wedding!"
"Next year?"
Seeing the surprised look on his mother's face, Huo Shan hurriedly expressed his thoughts and thoughts, "Yes, Helen is still pregnant now." She's going to give birth in two months. How could it be possible to have a wedding at this time, so we can only put it together next year!"
"Hmm!" nodded, Wang Xiangjun immediately smiled, "Xiaoshan, although this Helen is a foreigner, she is also knowledgeable, and at first glance she is a young lady from a big family, how did you find such a foreign daughter-in-law for me to come back? I'm going to say kiss to you, but you're prevaricating in every way. What's going on this time?"
"Hehe, two loves, two loves!" Huo Shan said with a smile.
He didn't dare to let his mother know that his cruise ship was wrecked, and he only met and fell in love with Helen after he fell into the sea. Otherwise, according to my mother's temperament, I estimate that I will be grounded again this time.
"Okay, I don't care if you're in love or not, but you're doing a good job this time. Hehe, soon our Huo family will also have a queen!" Wang Xiangjun was happy for a while, and then said: "But one is not enough!"
"Well, aren't you planning to get married next year? I'll set a time for you, in May next year, and then Helen's confinement will be completed, and the four of you will get married together!"
Huo Shan naturally had no opinion on his mother's words, "Mom, I want to marry Ping'er too, this is what I promised her!"
"I don't have a problem with this, the reason why I chose Ping'er to be your girl in the first place was to make you a concubine when I grow up. Since, now you plan to marry her together, then I have no opinion!" Wang Xiangjun said with a smile.
In her opinion, the more women her son marries, the better, so that there will be more and more children of the Huo family.
"By the way, Xiaoshan! there is one more thing I want to remind you!" At this time, Wang Xiangjun's expression suddenly became serious.
"Mom, you say!"
"It's still Helen's business, she's about to give birth. This will be the first descendant of the second generation of our Huo family, if it is a girl, then nothing will be mentioned. But if it's a boy!" Wang Xiangjun paused, looked directly at Huo Shan and said: "In the future, although this child is the eldest grandson, he will not be able to inherit the family business of our Huo family. ā
Looking at Huo Shan's slightly gloomy face, Wang Xiangjun couldn't help but sigh, "Xiaoshan, now that you have led Huo Long and them to build the great Huaxia Republic, my mother is impressed by your achievements and is also very proud. Your abilities, knowledge, and city government are far superior to your peers, and you are enough to lead this huge country, but state affairs are different from family affairs!"
"Moreover, although I don't mind this, the entire Huo family, even your ministers, will not agree to have a descendant of foreign blood to inherit the Huo family in the future!"
After his mother finished speaking, Huo Shan was silent for a long time before she said, "I understand, Mom! I know what to do!"
"Well, you have been very sensible since you were a child, and you rarely worry me, I believe you will be able to handle this matter well this time!"
"By the way, there is one more thing, after you get married next year, before the end of the year, I want to see my three new daughters-in-law all pregnant! This depends on you, otherwise when you return to Taiwan this time, you don't want to leave again in the future, when will they conceive children, when will I set you free!"
After finishing speaking, Wang Xiangjun didn't care about Huo Shan's O-shaped mouth at the moment, as well as the surprise on his face, stood up, pushed open the door and walked out.
"Mom, really, this birth is not to say that you can give birth to a child!" Huo Shan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
"Looks like I'm going to work hard next year!"

December 21, 1885, Yard of the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Yap Island.
At this moment, representatives from all ministries and commissions of the Government Council of the Republic of China, as well as representatives of all major provinces and cities across the country, gathered here to convene the first plenary meeting after the founding of the Republic of China.
And it was Huang Sheng who presided over the meeting, and Huo Shan did not attend in order to avoid suspicion.
ā...... On November 15, 1879, our Chinese People's Army was born in Taiwan (counting from the first batch of personnel recruited by Huoshan), and on January 21, 1881, we established the Chinese People's Army Government Council and the Military Department, and formulated the first five-year construction plan. In March 1882, we defeated the combined forces of Portugal and the Netherlands, formally bringing the islands of the South Seas and many islands of the Pacific Ocean under our rule. ā
"On July 15, 1885, we defeated the Americans and forced them to cede to us 7,200,000 square kilometers of land throughout the West Bank of the Mississippi River and Alaska. ā
"On October 1, 1885, we officially established the Republic of China!"
Huang Sheng's high-pitched voice reached the ears of hundreds of participants through the loudspeaker, mobilizing all the excitement in their hearts.
"Up to now, it has taken us six years to carve out a huge country. In the Nanyang region, we have Borneo, Sious, Nansha, Xisha Province, Nanyang Province, Malchen Municipality and Nandu Province, with a total of 2.55 million square kilometers of land including Taiwan-Wan Province and Hai-Nan Province. ā
"In the Pacific Ocean, we have Yingzhou Province, Penglai Province, Abbot Province, Hawaii Province and Fiji Province, a total of 140,000 square kilometers of land!"
"In the Americas, we have 14 provinces, an OCT municipality and a Caribbean administrative region, with a total of 11.78 million square kilometers of land!"
"In Africa, we also have the colonies of Mauritania, Liberia and Comoros, a total of 1,153,000 square kilometers of land!"
"All these lands combined, we have worked hard for six years, struggled for six years, and fought for six years, and the Republic of China has a population of 70 million and a land of 15.62 million square kilometers!"
"In terms of land area, we are second only to the British Empire and the Russian Empire, ranking third in the world! In terms of population, we are second only to the Qing Empire, Britain, and the Russian Empire, and ranking fourth in the world! Our total industrial output value accounts for 2.8 percent of the world's total industrial output, surpassing Italy, and ranking seventh in the world after Britain, Germany, the United States, France, Russia, and Austria-Hungary!"
Although the economic crisis and war caused the Americans' industry to plummet, the Americans' foundation was too thick, and in 1870 its total industrial output surpassed that of Germany to account for 22% of the world's total industrial output, and before the economic crisis of 1882, 26%!
"But all these glorious and dazzling achievements have become history, the establishment of the Chinese Republic we still need to continue to look forward, the next five-year plan, our goal is to double our total industrial output, surpass Austria and Tsarist Russia, become the fifth in the world, do you have confidence?"
"Yes!"
The roar of the mountains and the tsunami made the people on Yap Island look at this place in surprise.
However, for today's meeting, more than 3,000 people from the entire Marine Corps Division and a regiment and the Navy's Pacific Fleet have completely sealed off this place, and unless there is a pass issued by the Government Council, not a single fly will want to fly in.
"Okay, let's believe to inform you about what we have gained from fighting the American War for three years, so that everyone can have more confidence in our second five-year development plan!"
Hearing his words, the expressions of the people around him also became enthusiastic and expectant. In particular, the ministers and governors of the provinces, who are now formulating and revising the five-year economic development plans of the provinces and ministries, will be able to provide them with accurate data on the harvest of the war in the Americas, and they will have more or less an idea of how much industrial equipment, talent, and capital they will be able to obtain.
ā...... From the beginning of the war on May 13, 1882 to the end of the signing of the Chicago Contract on July 15, 1885, we obtained a total of 345 tons of gold, 320 million taels of silver, and 120 million silver dollars worth of US dollars, pounds, German marks and other currencies from the United States.
