Over the years, although the beautiful country has not been able to provoke war on the border, the successive White House administrations have secretly planned assassinations without stopping for a moment, and as many as 26 cases have been seized and attempted.

Recently, two cases of attempted poisoning have been seized, both of which were attempts by someone to buy off the palace attendants and cooks, but the incident was not secret, and they were arrested instead.

This series of lessons made the internal management of the palace more stringent, and all the royal court attendants were born in Chinese families, and all those who did not meet the requirements were repatriated.

The United States has never known that this is completely futile.

Richard's system interface has completed the "Victory in the National War" and "Tens of Millions of People Know the Prestige Mission", obtained a large number of prestige points, and has upgraded the active ability to subdue birds and beasts, flicker in space, take objects in the air, bundle ideas, and control puppets to the intermediate level.

The passive talent premonition has been upgraded to a high level, and the spiritual sense, spiritual vision, spiritual taste, self-healing, and poison removal have been lit up one after another, and it cannot be said that all poisons are inviolable, but the general weird tricks are completely useless.

Unlike the verbal provocation he had against President Santayo of Mexico, Richard was furious and immediately declared war, burning the flames of war throughout the northern and central states of Mexico.

In the face of a powerful North American power like the United States, Richard chose to forbear.

It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come.

The US Federation secretly committed suicide to the monarch of the Tang Kingdom, hoping to interrupt the rise of the Tang Kingdom, and secondly, hoping to lead the way to the east and transfer internal contradictions.

After entering 1855, the contradiction between the North and the South of the United States became more and more acute.

On 18 February, the Kansas state, backed by the North, gathered more than 7,300 troops and fought fiercely with the 4,800-strong Southern government in the San Joseph Valley, with artillery and cavalry fighting for several days.

At a heavy cost of more than 1,100 men, the northern government temporarily gained the upper hand by capturing seven towns around the San Joseph Valley.

After losing more than 570 men, the Southern government has retreated to Kansas City and is recruiting troops to make a comeback.

News of the defeat in this battle reached the southern slave states, causing dissatisfaction among the majority of white slave planters, who paid for and recruited idle cowboys to go to Kansas to participate in the Civil War.

By secretly funding Jefferson Davis, the Tang Kingdom successively took out its inventory of 4,500 old-fashioned smoothbore rifles, 1,100 revolvers and $150,000 in three batches to support the South in fighting the civil war to the end.

In the current situation in North America

The Tang Kingdom should not intensify the contradictions with the United States, let alone detonate a border war, so as to give the United States the best opportunity to divert domestic contradictions, and the spearhead of the North and the South will be unanimous with the outside world.

It's like in a family, the brothers are fighting inseparably, but once outsiders intervene, then the brothers will soon put aside their contradictions and work together to the outside world.

Richard had an insight into the sinister plot of the United States at a glance, and of course he could not let the United States be satisfied with it.

As a result, the Kansas Civil War is getting bigger and bigger, and the scale and intensity are more than 10 times that of the original history, and the North and South have each suffered thousands of casualties, and there is a tendency to escalate.

Just beat it, it's good to beat the human head into a dog's brain.

Return to the inner palace

Two white lions and a white tiger wagged their tails to meet them, and Richard teased them happily for a while, and then strode into the study.

These three beasts lie obediently in the corridor at the door of the study, like a docile big cat, quietly guarding this place.

After the ability to subdue birds and beasts was upgraded again, these birds and beasts were able to clearly understand the intentions of their masters, and they took on the heavy responsibility of the palace guards very well, greatly reducing the number of officers and soldiers of the guards in the inner court.

Today's Tang Kingdom is divided into a royal government dominated by the prime minister and an inner court dominated by the royal secretariat.

However, it is related to national affairs and military transfers, appointments and dismissals, and they are all played to the imperial decision-making.

in the inner study

The head of the royal secretariat, Yoo Hyun-kun, is already waiting here, and His Majesty the King will go to the inner study to continue to review the recitals after every royal meeting, and today is no exception.

"What's on your agenda today?" Richard strode in, sat down behind the eucalyptus, took a sip of the freshly brewed tea on the table, and then asked.

Liu Xianjun bowed respectfully and replied;

"Your Majesty,

There are three administrative affairs and one military affairs that need to be adjudicated, and the military affairs are that the British side wants to integrate the 5th to 9th Divisions of the Expeditionary Force into the British Foreign Regiment, and has written to ask for our opinion. ”

"Nothing?"

"This ...... Indeed not, maybe the British side seems that this foreign force is a mercenary formed by their money, and it is logical to take back the command, so ......"

"So the British pretend to be deaf and dumb? Hmph, strictly speaking, this army is funded by the British, our side is dispatched, responsible for training and integration and other affairs, and an army formed by sending elite officers and non-commissioned officers on duty, and they want to take it away with one mouth, so is there such a good thing? Richard thought for a moment and replied;

"This matter will be delayed for the first time, and at the same time an order will be sent to the expeditionary force to reinforce the 1st to 4th Divisions by transferring outstanding officers and men from the 5th and 9th Divisions, and the number should be 1/4 of the total strength, and it does not matter if it is overnumbered. The subsequent 11,000 supplementary troops were all transferred to the 5th to 9th Divisions, and the officers of these divisions who were insufficient could be promoted in the line of fire. ”

"Wechen must follow the will and arrange it as soon as possible."

"Also...... Let the expeditionary force be smart, there is no need to rush forward for anything, and it is more important to use your brain to lead troops outside, understand? ”

"Wechen understands."

His Majesty's intention is very clear, that is, to extract all the elite veterans and backbones of the Fifth Division to the Ninth Division, and fill in a large number of new soldiers, and the British really want to take it, anyway, the expeditionary force will not suffer.

Every experienced grassroots veteran backbone is a valuable asset of the entire army, which determines the upper limit of the combat effectiveness of the entire army and can stimulate a super-level combat effectiveness.

Without them, it's like concrete without cement, it's just a spectacle.

Richard was dissatisfied with the British attitude of withholding and searching, and after the great victory at the Battle of the Chernaya River, the British not only did not praise and give generous rewards to the expeditionary force, but were bent on picking the fruit.

How can there be such a good thing in the world?

It is true that the officers and soldiers of the expedition robbed a lot of benefits in Sevastopol, but that was a well-deserved reward, and by default it went to the private owners of the officers and soldiers.

Since it is a mercenary group, it is to fight for money, so after such a big victory, shouldn't the British side say something?

Seeing His Majesty's unhappy expression, Liu Xianjun's heart sank, and his expression became even more respectful, and he continued to report softly;

"Your Majesty;

The first of these three government affairs is about the current economic development of the kingdom to focus on the coastal areas, the royal government on this issue, convened Chang'an University, the University of California, the Los Angeles Institute of Technology, Taoyuan University of Administration and many other economic experts to brainstorm, came up with the corresponding 12 targeted countermeasures.

It is planned to adopt a series of measures such as the policy of "Expanding Preferential Loans for Targeted Migrants", the "Central and Eastern Regions Granting Land Law", strengthening the construction of infrastructure including reservoirs, bridges, railways and roads, the "Law on Preferential Loans for Small and Medium-sized Estate Owners", forming industrial alliances, implementing preferential agricultural and animal husbandry measures, and promoting the development of the textile industry in cotton-producing areas, so as to strengthen and guide immigrants to provinces with small populations for cultivation and create more business and trade opportunities.

The main purpose is to eliminate and bridge the development gap between the coastal areas and the northern, eastern and southern inland provinces through policy guidance, so as to achieve the goal of shared prosperity. ”

Richard agreed, saying; "Well, the government has done a good job, the kingdom's largest city, Chang'an, and the second largest city, Los Angeles, are both located in California, and now Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, Aberdeen, Salem and a number of other coastal cities are developing very quickly and full of stamina. Comparatively speaking, the major cities in the inland provinces are much lacking, and they do need the support of the kingdom's policies and the inclination of funds. ”

After receiving His Majesty's affirmation, Liu Xianjun, the head of the secretariat, was also more confident, and responded with a smile;

"The Holy Monarch is in the court, which is really a blessing for all the people."

"You have to remember that you can only force immigrants to go through policy guidance, this kind of thing that violates the laws of the market cannot be done by the government, but the effect is very poor, and it has lost its reputation, but it is easy to attract complaints, this kind of stupid thing can not be done."

"Weichen understands that he must follow the order."

"Go ahead......"

"The second thing is that based on the improvement of food storage technology in the laboratory of the University of California, food processing equipment is being developed in cooperation with related enterprises, and various provinces and regions have submitted relevant industrial base plans. The three northern provinces led by Colorado Province have reported the 10,000-ton canned poultry food production base plan, the five southern provinces led by Chihuahua Province have reported the 100,000 mu high-quality canned fruit production base plan, and the three provinces led by the Northern Province have reported the 10,000-ton seafood canned food production base plan, in addition to some other provinces separately reported projects, with a total of 11 items. ”

"Hehehe...... These bunnies have a very sensitive sense of smell! Richard finally smiled.

Nowadays, the evaluation criteria for officials in the Tang Kingdom are first economic development indicators, the second is resettlement and employment, and the rest is the turn of social security, urban construction and many other aspects.

Is this official good? Qualified? The first indicator to be assessed is economic development, which cannot be passed, not to mention anything else.

People can do it, why can't you?

At the end of a term of office, not only can they not be promoted, but they must also be held accountable, and their future career will come to an end.

In addition to the outstanding achievements in economic development, we should also compete in all aspects of resettlement and employment, social security, and urban construction, speak with achievements and data, and pursue the policy of those who are capable and those who are mediocre.

Few years

Many officials with outstanding performance in coastal towns have gone to the inland areas to serve as provincial-level officials and take charge of the government, and at the same time, they have brought the concept of active economic development in the coastal areas to the inland areas, and the involution has become more and more hot.

The food storage technology developed by the University of California, Richard can pat his chest and say that he did not open a golden finger, and it was completely a special fund for directional research and development, and soon came up with a mature food storage technology.

Generally speaking

The development of science and technology comes from the demand traction, and it is not difficult for the scientific and technological level in the mid-19th century to develop mature food storage technology, but the difficulty is that no one invests, no one develops, and no one conducts in-depth research in this field.

Taking advantage of the logistical supply in the Crimean War, the Royal Fund allocated special funds for targeted research and development, which soon achieved fruitful results, which also proved this.

In fact, the canned food thing is not new, and the food storage technology is not new, it is all leftover from the French and British, which appeared decades ago.

End of the 18th century

During the Napoleonic Wars, the French army fought in the field with very few varieties of rations, and according to the list of grain and grass collected by the French in the city of Heilbronn, the rations of French soldiers and cattle were only 85,000 servings of bread, 11 tons of salt, 6,000 bags of oats, 2,840 liters of wine and several thousand hay from Pu'er City, which was very simple.

Even these single types of food could not be supplied in sufficient quantities during the war, due to poor road conditions and poor food preservation methods.

As a gifted military commander, Emperor Napoleon knew very well that fighting a war was logistics, and attached great importance to the supply and storage of food.

In order to keep their soldiers well fed and maintain sufficient physical strength and morale, the French army urgently needed new means of food preservation.

Therefore, in 1800, the Emperor Napoleon offered a reward of 12,000 francs to people from all walks of life for a technology or device that could preserve food for a long time without deteriorating the nutrition, taste and taste of the food itself.

It wasn't until 1804 that a foodman named Nicolas Appel succeeded in developing a new and more reliable food preservation technique.

And his inspiration came from an accident.

One day in the summer of 1804, Nicolas Appel boiled some of the juice he had squeezed, poured it into a glass jar to cool, and prepared to make pastries. But he happened to be out shopping, so to prevent dust and insects from falling into the juice, he grabbed a cork, stuffed the glass jar with the juice tightly, and went out.

When Nikolai Appel returned, he forgot about the juice, and it was only a few days later that he remembered that he still had a bottle of juice.

It was summer

He thought that the juice in the glass bottle had already gone bad, so he wanted to pull the cork and pour the juice away, but after opening the can, he did not smell the stench as he imagined, but smelled a fruity aroma, and the juice in the glass bottle miraculously did not spoil.

This gave Nicolas Appel inspiration and inspiration, and so the original cans made of glass jars were born,

Although Nicolas Appel invented canning, the early canning had many shortcomings.

First of all, if there is no aseptic treatment in the production process, the shelf life of the canned food is not particularly long, and it cannot be stored for many years.

Secondly, the cork that seals the can cannot completely isolate the air, so it cannot prevent moisture and bacteria in the outside air from harming the food in the can.

In addition, the cans themselves are glass-textured jars, and the cans are very fragile and can break if they are bumped slightly.

Transparent glass cans are exposed to sunlight and tend to heat up quickly, causing canned food to deteriorate.

All these ills led Nicolas Appel to invent canned food, but it didn't become popular soon.

In 1810, the British businessman Peter Durand abandoned the glass shell of the early cans and successfully developed tin cans made of tinplate (commonly known as tinplate cans), and obtained relevant patents, becoming the direct ancestor of all tin cans.

Interestingly

Although Peter Durand invented the tin can, he did not invent the can opener, a special tool used to open the can.

It was not until 1854 that the can opener was invented by the University of California laboratory, and at the same time, food additives that can be stored for a long time to prevent food from rotting and deteriorating, and a complete set of food processing and production equipment was developed in conjunction with machinery enterprises, so that canned food has a real large-scale industrial capacity.

Before that

Canned tinplate is produced by hand, and the output is very low, and a worker can only produce a few dozen pieces a day at most.

In the middle of the 19th century, even a hard-working worker could only produce about 60 cans a day, which led to tinplate cans not being popularized for a long time, so there was little demand for matching can opening tools, and the motivation for invention was insufficient.

In 1854, the can-making machine developed by the University of California was unveiled, and this steam-powered mechanical equipment was extremely productive, and an average worker could produce 3,600 tin cans in eight hours, which was 60 times the original amount.

After solving the problem of large-scale storage and use of canned food, the Tang Kingdom will benefit from this, and the low-cost beef and mutton, fish, beans, fruits, and candied fruits in the Tang Kingdom can all be made into canned food and sent to Europe in large quantities for sale.

In particular, canned beef and mutton and fruits, all kinds of canned fish, canned beans, as long as the price is right, almost a must-have food for European families.

Considering the miserable level of cooking of Europeans, a can of ready-to-eat spiced beans, canned Cantonese beef, plus a can of smoked fish, a can of jam, and a good dinner with bread and cheese.

Europe has the innate genes of the canned food pandemic, whether it is in times of war or peace, in later generations of European and American countries, every family has the habit of hoarding a large number of canned food, which is not seen in China at all.

The canned products carefully cooked by the food processing factory of the Tang Kingdom have excellent color, flavor and taste, and contain the food genes that cannot be replicated by Europeans, and are also the confidence of the Datang Kingdom to focus on the development of the canned food industry.

Don't say anything else

Those dazzling cooking techniques, braised broil, stewed, spiced, spicy, green onion roast, raw pickling, smoking, cured meat and so on, foreign old people are dizzy when they see it, let alone learn three of the flavors.

Once the canned food industry develops, from planting to processing, production and transportation, it will be a major emerging industry involving the employment of tens of thousands of people, and it is a unique skill of the Tang Kingdom.

How could Richard not be happy that provincial officials had such foresight and took into account the advantages of local resources to actively propose ambitious development plans?
