Anna's words left a different impression on the members of the parliament. Most of the nobles did not care. They only care about the harvest on their land and their reputation, and did not have much enthusiasm for the economic development of the country. Most of the landlords and nobles had the mentality that instead of taking risks to invest in factories, it was better to honestly collect fixed land rent at home.

On the contrary, businessmen and representatives of large companies, as well as representatives of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, have realized that this is an opportunity to make a fortune. Before that, they had worked with the government many times. As early as the time of Alexander III and Nicholas II, these emerging companies and enterprises had always maintained a win-win relationship with the royal family and the government; but it was just a matter of maintaining it. Now, with an opportunity to deepen cooperation, how can the bosses of companies who look at money let go of it?

So, the loud applause and slogans of the business owners overwhelmed everything. Driven by the slogans "Long live the Emperor!" and "Long live the Grand Duke!", the nobles and clergy also shouted.

Anna didn't expect the response to this strongly, so she hurriedly said, "So, please raise your hands to vote."

Almost everyone raised their hands, no matter who it is, they definitely hope to improve the country's economy.

......

The meeting continued, and as a huge Russian map appeared in front of everyone, the atmosphere of the meeting reached a high level. The map was densely covered with unknown icons, especially major cities in Europe.

Grand Duke Mikhail stood up and excitedly introduced, "Everyone, this is His Majesty's great plan. In the next 10 years, we will build 1,000 factories and expand the railway line in Russia 5 to 10 times. And all of these require investment. For this reason, I decided to use all my personal property to purchase state construction bonds. I believe that in 10 years, I will get rich rewards."

Immediately afterwards, Anna also stated that the fate of the royal family is one with Russia, and called on the nobles of the country to purchase state construction bonds guaranteed by the royal family.

......

After working hard for a day, Anna lay on the bed early. Just holding her maid, Anna felt much warmer. Originally, Abiya was going to accompany Alexei, but in the end Anna changed her mind: Alexei is already 9 years old, and soon she will be 10 years old. People in this era are generally precocious, and Anna is not sure whether the ** below Alexei has begun to develop. In order to prevent Alexei from falling in love with Alexa over time, she decisively asked Alexei to sleep alone. The reason is very simple: You are a man!

"Your Highness, can't you sleep?" Abia suddenly turned over and faced Anna's eyes.

"?" Anna thought Abia was already asleep. "Oh, I guess even if my uncle and I set an example, those stingy nobles would not take the initiative to buy bonds. I am now annoyed by this!"

Aibia nodded, "You are right. There are so many factories that have no money and are difficult to start construction. It is difficult to deal with so many gaps with the assets of you and several female grandpas."

"I have seen this year's fiscal data, and it's still a deficit. Alas..." Anna's little head was buried deep in the other party's arms and rubbed slightly. "It's really hard to govern the country. Abiya, if one day I'm not a princess, would you still be willing to follow me?"

"I will always follow you because..." Abia suddenly blushed and her voice was like a mosquito. "Because I admire you, like you,... love you."

"Oh?" Anna stared at Abia tightly. Is this a true confession?

But then, Anna completely understood Abiya's heart. When the two of them touched each other's red lips, Anna had only one thought left in her heart: as long as you are, you are by my side.

Unlike in the past, Abiya was more proactive this time, and the fragrant tongue that penetrated into Anna's mouth swept over everything...

......

Shortly after the Imperial Conference, the craze for setting up factories gradually came. With billions of rubles of capital and some investment from the nobles, Anna expanded her arsenal, Tokarev's gun manufacturing company several times and hired professionals to manage it with high salaries. Tokarev retreated behind the scenes and became the technical consultant.

In order to raise funds, Anna had to let the Minister of Finance borrow a large amount of foreign debt, especially from Britain and France. Anna knew that Russia's economic backwardness provided opportunities for the import of foreign capital such as Britain, France, Germany, and B.C. The major industrial sectors such as coal mining, oil, and metal processing were mostly controlled by foreign capitalists. In order to support huge government funds, the government also continued to borrow from foreign countries and delivered high interest rates every year. This time, Anna was preparing to pay back the debt, but on the surface, when borrowing from major banks in Western Europe, Russia proposed generous interest returns, which made major banks generously donate. Once the money was received, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau organized a huge procurement team to purchase a large number of advanced machines and recruit various engineers in Western Europe and the United States.

However, these loans are far from enough. In order to borrow more money, Anna instructed the central bank to start the printing press and issue a large amount of money, and deprive farmers and workers of wealth through severe inflation. The Russian people just felt that life was getting harder and harder, and the prices of commodities were rising steadily every day. The farmers found that the grain they worked hard to grow in a year was becoming less and less valuable, and the purchase price of villages was the same. Therefore, the middle peasants, who had small assets, became poor peasants, and the original poor peasants were even more hungry and cold, living a life of not having the last meal.

This triggered a lot of urban workers' strike movements, and some farmers who could not survive in rural areas also rebelled. For these troublemakers, local governments quickly mobilized police and military personnel, and at the same time sent people to negotiate with them. Through the strategy of carrots and sticks, they successfully divided these unorganized resistance movements.

But some workers also formed organized resistance. Without guessing, it must be the cause of the Bolsheviks.

For example, the workers in Kiev and Saratov went on strike, and the workers ignored the government's good-willed negotiations, and the situation became increasingly fierce. Anna, who received the report, was very regretful about this. She ordered the secret service agents to investigate the Red Bandits mixed in the workers' ranks overnight. Once discovered, they would kill them without any hesitation!
