Chapter seven hundred and nineteen: Shangguanyi's doubts
After the first day of the first lunar month, work in various places still did not start. It was not until the sixth day of the first lunar month that work started.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month when the lanterns were held, it became lively again.
At first, everyone was eating Lantern Festival and setting off lanterns, which was very lively.
Of course, these Lantern Festivals are distributed free of charge by each administrative province at their own expense.
If it were not distributed free of charge, it would not be possible for so many people to eat Yuanxiao together.
After all, there are still great differences in diet between different ethnic groups.
However, since the Lantern Festival is now distributed free of charge, of course it is free of charge.
Furthermore, the Yuanxiao was sweet, smooth and very delicious. After they ate it, they gave it a thumbs up.
However, the only drawback is that there are many lantern riddle activities during the Lantern Festival.
However, this activity is rarely carried out in various places.
Even if it was launched, it would be loud and light, with not many people participating.
There is no way, after all, the Chinese proficiency of those aborigines and East Slavs is still very limited.
I'm really not good at guessing riddles.
If the aborigines and East Slavs, who make up the vast majority of the people, cannot participate, this event will definitely not be lively.
However, students have now started school.
They are learning Chinese.
Even those East Slavs and aborigines are actively or passively learning Chinese every day.
By next year, this situation is expected to be improved to some extent.
As time goes by, the effect will become more and more significant.
After the Lantern Festival, various projects began to gradually get on track.
Because of the rapid growth of population, the speed of mineral development has also been greatly accelerated.
The mining volume of metals such as iron ore and copper ore is also gradually increasing.
The output of Huaxia's modern machinery is also gradually increasing.
With the increase in modern machinery, the speed of construction will be further enhanced.
This process really complements each other.
The construction speed of Huaxia Kingdom may not be said to be unprecedented, but it is definitely unprecedented.
Of course, the reason why China is able to develop at such a terrifying rate is.
First of all, it is because China Commercial Bank has accumulated a huge amount of materials over the past ten or twenty years.
Secondly, the materials accumulated by the three major families for hundreds of years and the cities they built have all fallen into the hands of the Huaxia Kingdom.
So far, the Huaxia Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty still maintain close commercial relations.
The Tang Dynasty's support for the Huaxia Kingdom was extremely huge.
And now, China is establishing a close business partnership with the Eastern Roman Empire.
The Chinese State continuously transported their food and some commodities to the Eastern Roman Empire.
A large amount of minerals were obtained from them.
In addition to minerals, there is also a large amount of labor.
At the same time, it was not just the Eastern Roman Empire.
At that time, many countries near Eastern Rome were purchasing grain from China.
Because currently, all of Europe is in the Dark Ages of the Middle Ages.
There is a shortage of food everywhere.
As long as there is enough food, a large amount of supplies can be obtained.
However, for those countries, they are very satisfied if they can exchange for food.
Because a long-term lack of food may cause domestic unrest.
With the availability of food, this kind of unrest will be greatly alleviated and reduced to nothing.
It is precisely because of so much external support and their own internal savings that China's construction has been so rapid.
It only took nearly a year, enough to keep up with the development of other countries in ten or even decades.
The culture and education of Huaxia Kingdom has not been dragged down by rapid development.
In the words of the Emperor of Huaxia, Huaxia now walks on two legs.
The civil and military officials of the Huaxia Kingdom had a completely new understanding of their emperor's wisdom and martial prowess.
Ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of these civil and military officials are from the Tang Dynasty.
They read poetry and history books to their heart's content.
They understand the structure and development of a dynasty very well.
However, with the rapid development of the Huaxia Kingdom, such a bureaucratic system and laws are paradoxical and very different from those of previous dynasties.
They have absolutely no experience to draw from, so they can only cross the river by feeling for the stones.
In this case, it is inevitable that many detours will be taken.
This is also something that can't be helped.
Because there is no previous experience to draw from, for many things, only after constant attempts can we know which method is correct and which method is wrong.
However, in this case, the emperor was very discerning.
When they are about to take a detour, just a casual reminder can save them from trying and get them on the right path.
The emperor's knowledge alone can overwhelm all their civil and military officials.
This made them fear the emperor even more like a god.
In fact, Li Min knew it best.
For those civil and military officials, they naturally did not have any previous experience to draw on, but for Li Min, he had a lot of experience to draw on.
In later generations, the development of many cities was faster and faster than theirs.
During their development, they also experienced a large number of contradictions and problems, and took numerous detours.
And the detours they took have now become a reference for Li Min.
Li Min stood on the shoulders of the development of later generations, so his knowledge was naturally high.
…
By February, pits were being dug and buried for telephone poles in five or six urban areas in each of the fifteen administrative provinces.
Both the aborigines and the East Slavs were very happy.
They often watch movies and are already very familiar with the development of Huaxia City and even the Tang Dynasty.
Of course they knew that and started digging holes to bury telephone poles to erect wires.
It is estimated that they will be able to connect to electricity and light light bulbs soon.
The speed of installing the wires was very fast, it only took about a month.
Then all the telephone poles were erected and all the wires were installed.
The next step is to connect the wires to each household.
Well, because after all, the technology is not very mature yet and the technological level cannot keep up.
The power of motors in this era is still a bit low.
This also results in the cost of power generation being somewhat high and the cost of electricity consumption being relatively high.
One kilowatt hour of electricity costs ten cents.
This price, in future generations, is definitely a very high price.
However, for the people of this era.
Although the price is a bit higher for the same feeling, they feel that it is totally worth the money.
And now, after nearly a year of development.
All the people have settled down.
No matter how poor people are, they still have some savings.
It’s not like I can’t even turn on the electricity.
Well, some people may find this incredible, but it is absolutely impossible.
Even in the richest places, there are slums.
There are also people who have nothing and are even heavily in debt.
How is it possible that every family in the entire Huaxia Kingdom has some savings?
There is of course a reason for this.
First, there are ghettos in those rich places.
Most of them are because the poor are weak, unable to do heavy work, or suffering from diseases.
Of course, there are also some reasons why I am too lazy to cook.
But these situations have not happened in China for a while.
Those indigenous people, the old, weak, sick and disabled, basically all died during the Great Migration.
Most of the remaining people are young and strong, or at least they have labor force.
As for the East Slavs, this is even more true.
The old, weak, sick and disabled will not be moved here at all.
Therefore, every household has at least one or two laborers.
But now, the entire Huaxia Kingdom is engaged in construction. There must be jobs to do and wages to earn, and there will naturally be a certain amount of savings.
As for lazy laziness, everyone has it more or less.
But in this early stage of the founding of the People's Republic of China, at this precarious moment, it was too late for it to happen.
Why does every dynasty usher in a prosperous age after its founding?
This is also one of the factors.
Therefore, wires were pulled in and electricity was installed in every house.
Another half month has passed.
In the evening of this day, the power supply officially started.
It was not yet evening that day, and all the people in the power supply area could not wait to turn on the switch.
Waiting left and right, until it gets dark and the house is almost invisible.
When the people had to prepare to light the oil lamps, suddenly, a bright light flashed in the house.
The light bulb suddenly turned on, and the whole room was as bright as day.
Suddenly, cheers erupted from countless people's homes.
They finally installed electricity and used light bulbs.
The days they saw in the movie were getting closer and closer to them.
Life is becoming more and more exciting.
Their days will be as bright as this light bulb.
…
As the first batch of urban areas were equipped with electricity, the subsequent construction speed gradually accelerated.
This time, it once again benefited from Datang's talent reserves and their material reserves.
Datang has been developing for many years, and there are many talents such as electricians.
Now it has become overcrowded.
Now, it can be said that China is in urgent need of talents in this field.
The cooperation between the two parties can be said to have solved the current problem of talent unemployment in Datang.
At the same time, it also solves the problem of China's shortage of talents, which is of huge benefit to both sides.
Datang's manufacturing industry, especially its experience in manufacturing power stations, is currently ahead of Huaxia.
Many power stations in China were commissioned from Datang to be manufactured.
Then it was transported continuously from far away through giant ships.
Therefore, on the Huaxia side, the construction speed of power stations is also constantly accelerating.
With the first batch of urban areas receiving electricity, the second batch, the third batch, the fourth batch...
More and more areas are getting electricity.
Today's China is still facing a situation of vast territory and sparsely populated areas.
However, this will have certain benefits for development.
Because there are only a small number of people, they are all deployed uniformly.
Therefore, the location selection of every township and every village has been carefully considered.
The surrounding traffic conditions must be good.
The surrounding natural resources must be abundant.
It must be conducive to development.
Under such circumstances, development comes naturally and very quickly.
Electricity is on the shelves, and all kinds of products that use electricity are coming to you.
Electrical appliances such as televisions, DVD players, video recorders, cameras, etc. are immediately on sale.
After years of development, the prices of these electrical appliances have been constantly updated.
Its price has been falling again and again.
The prices of those products that are one generation behind have even been reduced to cabbage prices.
However, for consumers in China, many of them only care about price.
As long as it's cheap, it's good.
The major TV merchants have accumulated a lot of unsalable products, but now they can safely sell them to China.
This also allowed the major TV manufacturers in Datang to make a lot of money.
Faced with this situation, Li Min was actually happy to see the outcome.
The Huaxia Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty need to support and help each other.
Such development will have huge benefits for both countries.
…
At this time, Li Min once again instructed Shangguan Yi to take charge of vigorously promoting the breeding industry nationwide.
Just raise pigs, chickens, ducks, etc.
Shangguan Yi didn't quite understand Li Min's instructions.
"Your Majesty, I cannot understand the order to vigorously promote breeding."
"Our main direction now is not to vigorously promote road construction, but also cultural and educational undertakings? Is it necessary to vigorously promote the breeding industry so early?"
"You know, once the breeding industry is promoted, it will have some impact on the existing construction! Therefore, the emperor's order, the veteran can't understand."
Promoting the breeding industry requires the construction of sites, specialized talents for guidance, and a large number of manpower.
This will definitely slow down road construction.
Shangguan Yi feels that in recent years, road construction must be the primary purpose.
Only when the road is smooth can the entire Chinese nation realize its desire to take off.
Shangguan Yi firmly believes in this truth.
Hearing Shangguan Yi's words, Li Min smiled slightly and said, "Shangguan Aiqing, what you said certainly makes sense."
"But now, it is equally important to promote the breeding industry."
"You know, the land in China is very fertile, and there are also scientific researchers from the Ministry of Agriculture who are constantly upgrading the crops."
"We are still exploring more scientific farming methods. At present, the yield of the land is increasing year by year."
"Currently, our grain is still being exported. But in a few years, there will be a large surplus of food from the Tang Dynasty and our country of China. By then, there will be things like devaluing the grain and hurting the people."
Now, whether it is the Huaxia Kingdom or the Tang Dynasty, the grain output is far inferior to that of later generations.
But the total population of this world now is many times smaller than that of later generations!
After a few years, I am afraid that there will be a surplus of the food produced.
For those farmers whose livelihood depends on agriculture, farming is not as good as working, which will greatly discourage farmers from growing grain.
Therefore, it is very necessary to start a side business now.
