Huang Bohan once mocked Lu Zhengxiang for having no heirs, but it was precisely because Lu Zhengxiang had no heirs that he was able to serve Lan Fang wholeheartedly without any selfishness.
Since the founding of Lanfang, more than 100 officials have been punished due to their personal ethics. Even Huang Bohan, including Huang Bohan, surrendered his position as prime minister because his family was implicated in violating laws and disciplines. Although Lu Zhengxiang has no heirs, he still I adopted a nephew from my hometown in Jiangsu and took him with me. He is currently receiving education in the Boy Scouts.
The harshness of the Boy Scouts is not comparable to that of ordinary schools. Lu Zhengxiang's stepson performed very well in the Boy Scouts, leaving no pain for him.
Personal morality is only one aspect. Lu Zhengxiang also has strict demands on himself at work. Lu Zhengxiang and his Belgian-born wife both work in the Lanfang government. Lu Zhengxiang is the prime minister, and Lu Zhengxiang's wife Peidelu works in the Women's Federation. Neither of them have No matter what kind of business you are engaged in, your monthly salary will probably add up to around 2,500 Lanfang Yuan.
In 1922, this salary was already quite high in Lanfang, enough for the two of them to spend their daily expenses. Lu Zhengxiang had no intention of accumulating any inheritance for his stepson. If he could not spend all his monthly salary, he would ask Peide to donate it to Boy Scout, this set the best example for all officials in Lanfang.
The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. If you are upright, you will not be afraid of the shadow. Having such a person as prime minister is indeed a blessing for Lan Fang and Qin Zhiyuan.
At least Qin Zhiyuan was quite relieved by leaving Lanfang's official system to Lu Zhengxiang to build.
Of course, the personal relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Lu Zhengxiang is also very good. Due to work reasons, Qin Zhiyuan and Lu Zhengxiang often meet. Sometimes Qin Zhiyuan will leave Lu Zhengxiang to eat in the palace at meal time. Lu Zhengxiang does not refuse, eating and drinking when it is time. , there was no trace of restraint or respect from the subordinates facing the king.
Qin Zhiyuan and Lu Zhengxiang often talk at the dinner table, and it is inconvenient for other people to be present at this time. Usually, Misha is waiting beside them, but recently the person waiting on them has been replaced by Julie. Misha is pregnant. Recently The pregnancy reaction is really a bit big.
Qin Zhiyuan is quite biased. He and Julie already have two children, and Misha has just made news. However, Misha doesn't take it seriously. Although she is pregnant, she still insists on taking Qin Zhi for Julie every day. , Julie is not embarrassed at all, her husband has shared it, and it is normal for the Empress of the East Palace to work harder.
Regardless of whether he was with Julie or Misha, Qin Zhiyuan felt normal, but from Lu Zhengxiang's point of view, it was a bit scary to ask the queen to pour wine and dishes, so he felt a little uneasy eating this day.
The instructors sent to Syria have already started working. The French are determined this time and have prepared nearly 100,000 troops in Syria. They are preparing to fight the British to the end. Lu Zhengxiang said while eating, without any words in his mouth. It's amazing how ambiguous the food is.
There are a lot of people in Iraq. I see that their unit number has reached the 11th Division, and there are probably more than 100,000 people. Qin Zhiyuan is no stranger to the war in Syria and Iraq, and Gao Hongshi has reports about the war in Syria and Iraq every day. The information came through.
Not yet. The British set up the framework first and then added more. The organization is the same as that of the British mainland. The soldiers from a region are organized into a unit. It is true that there are more than a dozen divisions, but some divisions only have one. There are more than a thousand people, and it is still early to be fully staffed. It is estimated that it will take a few months in the first half of the year before the British can complete the replenishment of these troops. However, they will not have combat effectiveness by then. If the training is completed, it is estimated that it will not be until 24 Years old. Although Lu Zhengxiang comes from the civil service system, he is no stranger to military establishment.
The British don't know how to train them. As soon as they are formed, these troops will probably be sent to the front line. The British don't have the patience. These are just cannon fodder. The British will not train them as carefully as they train local troops. Look at the Indians I know. Julie interjected from the side.
Julie was also born in a general family, and she was very familiar with these things. At the same time, because of Foch, Julie knew the details of Britain very well.
During the World War, the British formed an Indian army of more than one million people. These troops perfectly served as cannon fodder on the Eastern Front battlefield. Think about the scale of artillery during the World War, which was often tens of thousands of artillery pieces. The word cannon fodder is really appropriate.
If these words were said by Qin Zhiyuan, Lu Zhengxiang might have elaborated on these words, but it was different with Julie. Lu Zhengxiang stood up, took the table wine handed over by Julie, and responded respectfully: Your Highness said that.
Julie didn't take Lu Zhengxiang's attitude seriously, curled her lips and made a face at Qin Zhiyuan, turned around and went to the door to pick up the food.
Training is indeed very important and cannot be relaxed for a moment. Qin Zhiyuan understands this very well.
The military system implemented by Lanfang is the shadow army used by the Soviet Union. On the surface, the Lanfang Army only has 20 divisions with less than 300,000 people. In fact, it can be expanded to 40 divisions with 600,000 people at any time. Lanfang implemented It is a compulsory military service system. All Lanfang people must join the army for two years after reaching adulthood, and then automatically become a member of the reserve force after retirement. Currently, Lanfang's reserve force has a scale of 400,000, and this scale will continue in the future. expand further.
These soldiers who are performing compulsory military service are not entering Class A troops. Only the troops composed of professional soldiers are Class A troops. After the soldiers who are performing military service enter the army, they will be formed into temporary Class B troops. The numbers of these troops are Their duty is not to fight. While receiving military training, they also undertake social functions, such as emergency rescue and disaster relief, repairing roads, etc. Strictly speaking, they are more similar to the armed police force in Qin Zhiyuan's concept.
The current total population of Lanfang has exceeded 60 million, and the population has been growing rapidly. Since 1919, the number of babies born in Lanfang has been increasing every year. The number of babies born in Lanfang so far in 22 years has exceeded 2,500. million, it is estimated that it will exceed 3 million throughout the year. At the same time, the majority of the population increase comes from new immigrants. So far in 2022, the number of new immigrants who have joined Lanfang citizenship has been 3.5 million, and the number has exceeded 4 million throughout the year. No problem at all.
If converted, the birth rate of newborn babies in Lanfang is 4%. The reason why it is so high is related to the population structure of Lanfang. Lanfang is a new country, and the population structure tends to be younger. The proportion of young people is It accounts for a relatively large proportion of the total population, which is why there is such a high birth rate.
But this is not the limit. After new immigrants become Lanfang citizens, they will receive a large amount of land allocated by the government. These lands require manpower to be reclaimed. Because the amount of land is relatively large, land reclamation is the top priority for new immigrant families, especially They are Chinese families who came from the Republic of China. These farmers were already very poor during the Republic of China. Now that they finally have their own land, they immediately burst out with the greatest enthusiasm. After a year or two, when the situation has stabilized, the land will be productive. Only when the food produced is enough to eat, people will turn their attention to creating humans, and then the population will grow explosively.
In fact, it is already experiencing explosive growth. The population growth has also put higher demands on the Lanfang government. So many newborns require more hospitals and more schools in the future. This forces the Lanfang government to do its best. Only in this way can we meet the requirements for coping with the baby boom.
Although the population is increasing, Qin Zhiyuan has no intention of implementing family planning. If there is not enough living space in the future, Lanfang will continue to expand until Lanfang people are spread in every corner of the world, and then Qin Zhiyuan will be considered complete historical mission.
We must attach great importance to education, especially normal schools and health schools, which must continue to expand on the current basis. The Women's Federation must conduct more publicity and encourage women to bravely go out to find jobs. Only by not wasting any effort , we can meet the challenges of the future. Qin Zhiyuan raised his requirements for Lu Zhengxiang.
There is a tradition in the Chinese world that men are at home and men are at home, and this is the same throughout East Asia. Although the Lanfang government has been promoting and encouraging women to go out of the house to work, there are still some people who cannot change their ideas. Qin Zhiyuan wants to vigorously To develop normal schools and health schools, we must increase the employment rate of women. Whether they are teachers or medical staff, these two industries are very suitable for women. If half of the women in Lanfang are willing to go out of the house, then Lanfang will There will be no worries about manpower.
We now basically have a nursing school and normal school in every state. These nursing schools and normal schools have both short-term training courses and regular classes. By next winter, the first batch of regular students will graduate. By then, our teaching staff will be as strong as The medical system will be greatly improved. Of course, this is not enough compared to our development momentum. At least we need to double the existing nursing school and normal school, so that we can barely satisfy Lu Zhengxiang. He also has a clear understanding of the current situation. , but he didn’t finish his words, he was hesitant to speak.
Whether it's people, funds or policies that Qin Zhiyuan lacks, Qin Zhiyuan has everything in his hands. As long as Qin Zhiyuan can solve it, Qin Zhiyuan will definitely support it.
Whether it is a lack of money or manpower, Qin Zhiyuan can solve it. If it is a policy, it will be easier. Lu Zhengxiang is Prime Minister Lanfang, and it is Lu Zhengxiang's responsibility to solve this problem.
Haha, there is no shortage of anything. Our budget has always been sufficient, and the teaching staff is not bad. I think it was because Lu Zhengxiang secretly glanced at Julie while he was talking, and I really didn’t dare to say it.
Haha, I understand. Qin Zhiyuan smiled knowingly and turned to face Julie: Lily, why don't you work part-time at the Women's Federation tomorrow?
Well, this request really stunned Julie. Julie, who was already used to being idle, muttered: Qin Zhi is still young, do I have to go to work with my child in my arms?
