.

The dark clouds dissipated, and the Wang family looked at Zhao Tie in a daze, not daring to do anything.

Zhao Tie, no, it should be Zhao Gang, looking at Wang Changyu apologetically:

"I'm sorry, I didn't tell the truth. My identity is the president of Northern China. But when I looked at you, I felt that I had a fate in my previous life. If I couldn't have you, my life would definitely be imperfect. So, I would also like to ask my sister to agree to go home with me today."

Faced with the strongest way of proposing in the world, the Wang family had no resistance at all, and just agreed in a confused manner. However, I don’t know who leaked the news and knew that President Zhao had appeared. A large number of people gathered at the door to ask to meet the president. In the end, Zhao Gang came up with a solution and sneaked back secretly while the night was dark.

A few days later, a sedan chair brought Miss Wang Changyu to the Presidential Palace. Zhao Gang did not hold a wedding banquet in a large manner, and everything was going on in secret. After that day, Zhao Gang successfully doubled the number of people in his harem (the original dowry girl also got married on the same day). The original monogamous wife was converted to a monogamous concubine, which did not disappoint the ardent expectations of the people. (They won a big harem).

That night, the spring night was warm, and the two of them were lingering, and some beautiful sounds floated out from time to time. The moon hid in the clouds and did not dare to see those shameful scenes.

Finally, the two stopped lingering in a crazy way. The woman seemed to be lying on the bed without pursuing the battle. Just then, a hunch of moonlight flowed by, shining on the woman's jade back, and a dazzling white flashed. For a moment, the man could not tell whether it was the moonlight or the skin like snow. The man was stunned. After a long time, he heard the man's confession.

"Xiaoman. I know you blame me for leaving you and coming to this place alone. So you came here. After a thousand mountains and a hundred years, you also found me. But why don't you remember who you are? Have you forgotten the promise between us? I forgot my love for you, or even for me?"

The man touched the woman's ear with his hands trembling. There was a red birthmark there, which seemed to be a crabapple leaf, which was very special. In the past, the owner of the crabapple leaf would treat him very gently, make calculations for himself in everything, and never complained.

At that time, he was ambitious and wanted to open up a big cause, but finally left her resolutely. However, when he came to a new world, he realized that the land he wanted most was not the country, nor the people who saved the people from water and fire, but just holding her hand. He said to her: "I love you."

Like the moonlight, the man said something softly, and the words fell on the woman like a happy butterfly. Then he disappeared.

The night was as cool as water, and there was nothing to say all night, but a drop of tears slowly flowed out from the corner of the woman's eyes.

The next day, Zhao Gang rushed to the Presidential Palace again. As soon as he entered the door, he felt something was wrong. All the ministers were discussing seriously. Seeing Zhao Gang coming in, the secretary hurriedly gave the president several documents.

The first one is about the unification of the north and south China. At this time, although the north and south have not yet been unified into a whole, a whole has been formed in diplomacy and military terms. As time goes by, this trend will become more and more obvious. Especially in the battle against Japan, it is most obvious.

The north sent all the navy and most of the elite troops to completely eliminate the Japanese navy. This made nearly 200,000 Japanese troops stranded in Taiwan and could not return to the mainland in time. The subsequent landing occupied the north as the main force. The south generously paid for the operation, which reached an astonishing number of 90 million Chinese yuan.

After surrender, Japan became a piece of China's fat meat, machinery and equipment worth more than 200 million yuan, as well as hard currency worth 300 million yuan, silver and gold, as well as cheap and high-quality labor, which were continuously transported to China's mainland, greatly promoting China's economic development.

Of course, this does not include Japan's annual national contribution of 100 million pounds. Most of these contributions will be directly converted into Chinese supplements, making China stronger quickly. All of this will accelerate the integration of North and South China. Once North and South China merge, China will stand up again and will never be bullied by the great powers again.

However, Zhao Gang couldn't feel relaxed at this time. If he just simply made China rich and not bullied, then this goal has been achieved now. However, Zhao Gang's goal would never be that little. What he had to do was to restore China's due identity and become a world hegemon.

There were several reports in front of him, and the things inside made Zhao Gang feel the heavy load on his shoulders.

A report is about national strength.

In 1897, the GDP of Northern China reached >: 133.76 million imperial silver dollars, which was equivalent to 126.016 million taels of silver, equivalent to 1659., accounting for 3.46% of the total national income in the same period; the GDP of Southern China reached 320 million pounds, and the national fiscal revenue of Southern China was 193.76 million imperial silver dollars, accounting for 7.52% of the total national income in the same period;

The US GDP during the same period was 18.: UK, UK was 1.49 billion. US treasury revenue was 89.66 million pounds. UK was 1.05.

In other words, when China is in harmony with the north and south, it is roughly equal to 40% of the United States and 50% of the United Kingdom. If we continue to analyze it further, considering that China's agriculture accounts for about 70%, it will lead to a more pessimistic figure, and agricultural tax revenue cannot increase significantly.

In this way, once the entire United States and Britain mobilize the entire nation, the amount obtained annually can easily reach several or even dozens of times that of China. If it is in wartime, it means that a warship will have to resist more than a dozen warships and a cannon will have to resist more than a dozen cannons.

In other words, China's current strength is far from being a match for the United States, Britain and other countries, nor is it a match for France, Germany and Russia. It can only be said that it is slightly stronger than Austro-Hungary, Italy, Spain and other countries, and is in a second-rate position in the world.

There is another report about the recent price increase. It was originally very normal. However, after statistics, prices rose 30% in a year. In particular, housing prices have risen continuously for twelve months, and the husband has reached 120%. According to the investigation, the American black hands showed that in the past year, about 130 million yuan of funds flowed into China. Now, most of them have flowed to the housing market.

At the same time, the report also stated

The country and other countries have unified the caliber. The export prices of complete sets of machinery and products have been increased, regardless of copper ore ore, as long as it is related to China, they have begun to raise prices significantly. Among them, the price increase of iron ore is the most astonishing, and it has doubled.

Zhao Gang became irritated. It seemed that capitalism was evil. No matter how high-sounding it was, he would still drink your blood in the end. These parasites still had to work hard to kill them so that they would not endanger world peace.

The last report was obviously completed in a hurry, with words like estimates, possible, inferences, etc. everywhere, but this report is the source of the serious expressions of the ministers. About 20 million yuan of military rewards were gone, and the links were released [~.

In the afternoon, a small, high-level cabinet meeting was held. All ministers participated.

Zhao Gang handed over several reports to the ministers to find out about everyone's opinions.

Zhao Gang first set the tone for this meeting

The first topic is "Mine Prospecting", which was proposed by Minister of Mining Zhan Tianyou.

Only by finding abundant mineral deposits can you have enough capital to negotiate with the United States and reduce the price of mineral products. The most important thing is to develop East Siberia. After the war with Japan ended, North China quickly accepted East Siberia despite Russia's strong opposition.

Now, it should be time to quickly transform East Siberia into Chinese territory.

Zhan Tianyou's proposal was opposed by Liang Shiyi:

"I think this proposal is unreasonable. In this proposal, we will build 3,000 kilometers of railways and immigrate 20 million. Considering the harsh natural environment of East and West Siberia, the supplies required by these people generally need to be supplied by Northeast China, North Korea, and Japan. The cost is calculated at five yuan per person, which requires 50 million yuan per year. And once the war starts, it is difficult for us to ensure the safety of the fragile railway."

Zhan Tianyou has a very good understanding of this proposal, and the plan also gave a very accurate judgment on Liang Shiyi's opinions, and there were already solutions to this.

"The population required in the early stage was about two million, of which North Korea and Japanese accounted for the vast majority. We only sent a supervision team of about 100,000 people. After the completion of the large railway ring line (that is, the northern part of the Asian ring line in the future), we will then immigrate step by step. The profits of iron ore, coal mines, and oil deposits mined during this period will attract the arrival of capitalists. What we do in the future is to divide the land prospecting rights and sell them to domestic capitalists. It will definitely not be forced."

"The cost of these Koreans and Japanese is about 50 cents a year, and the other parts are used as tribute to the Chinese Empire. After all, the Chinese Empire defended their safety, and this level of sacrifice should be acceptable."

This practice of sacrificing the happiness of other people in exchange for their own interests was acquiesced by the ministers, and the president himself was a radical nationalist, agreeing with this approach. However, it is obvious that this method cannot be effective in the short term. For some reason, this issue has been ignored by most people.

The first thing to discover the problem was Liang Shi: "We cannot significantly increase minerals by the end of the year. So how do we face the price increase demand of those mining companies in the United States in the near future? And those machinery and equipment manufacturers have also raised prices. How do we face it?

Zhan Tianyou thought for a while and replied:

“We can negotiate and lower the price of the product.”

Zhao Gang interjected aside

"We have already had a plan for these, but it is not easy to make it public now for the sake of confidentiality."

The subsequent vote denied Zhao Gang's confidentiality method, and Zhao Gang was forced to disclose his plan

"Actually nothing. A month ago, we announced that we would flatly reject the US quotation and announced that we would interrupt trade with these companies indefinitely, and the stock prices of these companies plummeted. We took the opportunity to absorb most of the stocks that have been bought. After a while, we would announce that we would agree to the quotation of these companies. Then we set traps in the contract and refuse to execute the contract. Then we would take the opportunity to sell before, which would not only make a big profit, but also cause the US stock market to collapse. Doing this can kill two birds with one stone, which can be said to make Americans lose money instead of stealing chickens!"

After Zhao Gang finished speaking, all the ministers felt a chill on their backs. Is such a person really the brave President Zhao? No matter how you look, they look like a demon running out of hell.

However, a subsequent proposal made them appreciate Zhao Gang's "style"

Standardize real estate transactions

1. Standardize market access for foreign-invested real estate

2. Strengthen the real estate development and management of foreign-invested enterprises

3. Strictly manage the purchase of houses in overseas institutions and individuals

4. Further strengthen and implement regulatory responsibilities

Finally, there is another important thing: if a house transaction is traded again within five years, the transaction tax must be paid, with a tax rate of 20% (20% of the house price, 20%,

The proposal was passed unconditionally. A few months later, China's real estate market became lifeless, transactions were paused, prices fell sharply, and American speculators suffered huge losses. The US government personally came forward to accuse the Northern Chinese government of rashly interfering in free trade and preparing for trade sanctions, but surrendering in the face of China's subsequent large-scale orders, and the matter was left unresolved.

The last item is the most worrying thing. If an empire cannot handle internal administration well, then its downfall will only be a matter of instantaneous matter.

However, this matter is difficult to deal with. There are too many connections between the top and bottom. More than a dozen ministers were sloppy. Zhao Gang could see clearly and was very angry. Maybe these people had nothing to do with it, but they just pleaded for these people because of their face. But have they ever thought about it? Where is the national law in this way?

The last proposal was passed, all personnel from the Military Control Commission were removed from office, the director was shot, and all the people involved in the case were searched. If half of the amount was not recovered, the investigation would continue.

Since his subordinates are mixed, Zhao Gang, as president, naturally does not want to solve the problem. However, Zhao Gang's heart was a big question mark. Are they still people I can trust?

As the New Year is approaching, Zhao Gang feels that his body is starting to cool down, and his originally firm confidence is shaken. Can he really transform a great China?
Chapter completed!
