"There is a decree in the saint to invite the show to the woman."

A row of 12 palace dress girls restrained the youthful and frolicking of the talents, lined up according to the rules of the palace etiquette, bowed their heads and walked into the palace, and behaved extremely well-behaved.

The hall is paved with large pieces of granite from the Italian snow-capped mountains, the bronze incense burner wafts with a faint fragrance, and the guqin is melodious, full of an indescribable solemn and tranquil atmosphere.

The huge white tiger with white skin and red was lazily lying on the corner of the hall, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, he raised his head to look at it, and turned his head away with disinterest.

When they came here, the 12 beautiful palace girls didn't dare to raise their heads, and their hearts were as uneasy as if they were hit by a deer.

The bold one glanced at it secretly, and there was no one on the throne above.

Just when the bold girl was disappointed in her heart, the clear voice of the herald of the Praetorian Guard came from the hall, saying; "Your Majesty has arrived!"

As soon as the words fell, Richard, who was wearing a light-colored robe, walked in easily, holding a book he was reading in his hand, put it on the imperial case casually, and said with a kind expression; "Don't be polite, and raise your heads."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" 12 show girls responded crisply.

They were blessed when His Majesty came in, and then they stood up and looked up......

Standing in front of them was a tall young man in a long robe, who looked to be twenty-five or sixteen years old, ten years younger than his actual age, with an elegant temperament, and an invisible royal majesty on his body.

Especially a pair of deep and clear eyes, there seems to be a kind of magic, people can't help but be deeply attracted when they see it.

"Your Majesty is really a dragon and a phoenix!"

"Is this the legendary saint admired by millions of people? He's so handsome! ”

"No, I'm going to faint!"

The selected beautiful girls are all girls between the ages of 15 and 17, which is the age of fantasy, and the noble majesty in front of them is much younger and more attractive than they imagined.

At the thought of the possibility of serving His Majesty in the future, most of the show girls had red clouds flying on their shy faces, and they lowered their heads and did not dare to look at them again.

Only one girl looked at His Majesty curiously with big beautiful eyes, looking a little ignorant, and so innocent and flawless, which deeply attracted Richard's attention.

This girl looks like a little dragon girl in her teenage years, her skin can be broken by blowing, and her appearance is outstanding among the 12 show girls.

"What's your name?"

"Your Majesty; The poor girl's name is "Tian Huizhen", 16 years old this year, her father was born in a family of Jinhua eunuchs, and now serves as the deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Colonial Department, and is a pure white family who fled the war in 1854 and immigrated to North America with her family. ”

"Oh...... Come up. ”

Richard has read countless beauties over the years, and is still deeply attracted by the innocent and flawless aura on Tian Huizhen, he walked to the throne and sat down, beckoning Tian Huizhen to take a closer look.

The more I look at it, the more I look like it, and I can't help but admire the miracle of the Creator.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Hmm...... Sort of, right? Your Majesty doesn't eat people, why should I be afraid? ”

"That's right, literate?"

"Your Majesty; The poor girl reads and writes in the boudoir every day, sings poems and paints to pass the time, understands the rhythm a little, learns a little, and does not dare to show her ugliness in front of His Majesty. ”

"Hehehe......"

Tian Huizhen is a lovely and beautiful baby, especially rare is this innocent and flawless atmosphere, which makes people feel the fragrance of the hollow valley orchid.

Richard chuckled, in this draft, he valued Tian Huizhen and another girl called "Bai Zhen'er", this Bai Zhen'er is also stunning, fair-skinned, and beautiful. is only 15 years old, and his height has reached 1.72 meters, and it seems that he can grow a little longer.

Standing in a line of show girls, she is more than half a head taller than others, and she looks like she stands out from the crowd.

This one is Richard's favorite type.

After a few simple questions, Emperor Richard gave a group of show girls generous gifts, including four sets of brocade dresses, two pairs of head and face jewelry, and each of them rewarded 3 palace maids.

From this moment on

The 12 show girls broke away from the white body and entered the ranks of the harem concubines of the Tang Empire, and were able to enjoy the glory and wealth of the royal family.

Watching the show girls who couldn't hide their joy leave in turn, Richard had a faint smile on the corner of his lips, and he didn't feel much touch in his heart.

Now that he is in the throne of the emperor, his power covers the sky, no matter how beautiful he is, he can get it at his fingertips, and he doesn't need to bother to please women at all, which is a lot less challenging.

No matter how many beauties there are, they are just harem playthings, and he has no time to pay attention to the preferences of these women.

The right to the imperial throne is intoxicating, and Richard is now more obsessed with building a more and more powerful Tang Empire, participating in the world competition, and now the biggest goal is to surpass Britain in 15~20 years and become the world's largest and most developed industrial and agricultural economy.

Nowadays, the Tang Empire has the superior geographical location of the United States in the original time and space, the unique conditions of being close to the two oceans, rich resources and a good industrial base, coupled with the favorable conditions of the rapid population growth of the immigrant countries, the geographical territory is broader than that of the original time and space United States.

The Tang Empire has all the favorable conditions to surpass the scale of economic development of the United States in the original time and space, and is in a golden period of development.

Therefore, Richard was confident that around 1880 and 1885, the economic aggregate of the Tang Empire surpassed Britain and occupied the first place in the world, and its political and military influence reached the status of a world-class power, alongside Britain, France, Russia and other countries.

The development momentum of the Tang Empire was very good, and the total population increased from 14,869,200 in 1856 to 43,720,000 in 1865, with an average annual population increase of more than 3 million, achieving leapfrog growth.

There are three major factors that cannot be ignored: first;

Taking advantage of the war and chaos of the Taiping Army in the land of China, the Tang Empire used its strength to promote immigration to North America, reaching an average annual immigration of 1.76 million in the highest year, effectively supplementing the population.

The time of the North American War

A steady stream of trained reservists from Shenzhou was imported, and in the three years before and after, a total of about 890,000 mainland recruits were imported, which played an important role in winning the war and ensuring the stable development of the empire's economy.

Second; With the incorporation of Mexico, the Aztec Republic, and the seven provinces of the Great Plains in central North America into the empire's territory, the region's original population of about 3.86 million people was placed under the control of the empire, which was another important factor in the population explosion.

Thirdly; With the increase of the total population of the empire, the new birth population became the main driving force of endogenous growth, from an average of more than 300,000 per year in the early days, rapidly growing to 73~750,000 in 1856, and then growing rapidly at a rate of about 100,000 per year.

statistics by the end of 1864;

More than 1.76 million new children were born throughout the year, which became the main driving force for the growth of the empire's population, while the corresponding number of Chinese immigrants decreased to just over 1.1 million, a record low.

Happily;

The Tang Empire grew from two large cities with a population of one million in 1856 to eight in 1865, and Chang'an City also surpassed New York to sit on the throne of the largest city in the Americas, ranking second in the world, second only to New York in terms of population.

Unlike the sharp rise and fall of New York's population size, the development of Chang'an City has been following the pace of steady expansion, and every step has been very solid.

Its total population increased from 1,239,500 at the end of June 1856 to 1,573,700 at the end of June 1858, and then to 2,287,100 at the end of 1864, achieving orderly and stable growth.

Chang'an is the imperial capital of the Tang Empire, a collection of political, economic and cultural essence, a series of multinational banks of the empire, monopoly oil oligarchs, steel and grain and other large enterprise groups and commercial bank headquarters are located here, the empire's best educational resources and developed industry and commerce, supporting the prosperity and development of the largest city in the Americas.

Compare it to

New York was weakened by the great weakening of the United States of America, and despite the rapid recovery of regional trade and economic development after the war, the economy in the United States of America could not support a metropolis of 2 million people. As a result, New York's population briefly crossed the 2 million mark and then quickly fell back to between 1.83 million and 1.88 million today.

Four years after the war, the population of the United States of America (North) recovered to 10 million, the national economy was rebuilt from the ashes of war, and the continuous flow of white immigrants from Europe effectively supplemented the labor shortage, so that the overall economy recovered.

However, most of the important areas related to the national economy, such as finance, iron and steel, coal mining, industry and commerce, and dock transportation, were controlled by the capital of the Tang Empire, and a huge amount of war loan principal and interest and war reparations mortgaged by the customs had to be paid every year, so the overall economic development was carrying a heavy burden and faltering.

Before the North American War

At the peak of the economy of the United States of America (North), the overall economic scale reached 1.78 billion US dollars, and after being overtaken by the Tang Empire, it suffered emasculation after the defeat, and the current economic scale was only 660 million Tang Yuan, about 1/3 of the pre-war period.

With the loss of the vast Central Great Plains, the former United States was divided in two, leaving the United States of America (North) with less than one million square kilometers of territory and a development ceiling severely constrained, even less than that of the Confederate States of America (South).

Once the Confederate States of America begins to industrialize, it will have more potential to develop into a regional power than the North.

It is precisely because of various factors that the urban construction of New York lags far behind that of the imperial capital Chang'an, and it appears more crowded, chaotic and backward, and the number of Irish and Italian gangsters makes New York's law and order even more chaotic.

At night, it becomes a haven for crime.

This made it unbearable for many white German immigrants who were willing to abide by the order and longed for a peaceful life, and they chose to leave here and go to the provinces of the Great Plains in central North America under the rule of the Tang Empire.

The Tang Empire also welcomed these high-quality white immigrants, and according to the agreement between Tang and Pudong, German immigrants were treated equally and helped to integrate into the Chinese family.
