1890 King of Southeast Asia

The plan submitted by the Ministry of Communications is very radical. On average, more than 11,000 kilometers of railways alone, Liu Yiming feels a bit not feasible.

Yes, Huaxia made a sum of money, especially in October. Europe's demand for supplies has increased day by day. Materials demand has risen, and prices have risen rapidly.

As Xu Hui said, in October, important raw material futures floated more than 20%, such as steel, oil, chemicals, cotton, food, medicine, etc.

As we all know, the rise in raw materials will directly lead to the rise in industrial products, and the price of many important supplies has been raised by half, such as explosives.

Huaxia not only produces raw materials, but also produces industry -made products, so it has earned more than 20%.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Finance, the net inflow funds in October exceeded 500 million yuan, which is only a monthly net inflow volume. If there are so many a month, one year is 6 billion.

6 billion, what concept? Without calculating inflation, it is based on hard currency gold. It is 5 grams, 9 billion grams, and 9,000 tons of gold.

The current international gold price is 453 yuan per gram, multiplied by 9 billion, which is a net inflow cash flow, not GDP.

It is conceivable that there are many services of Huaxia at the moment, how good the war is, and now the business is not worried about selling it at all, just worry about no supply.

Under the catalysis of huge profits, capital has begun to develop barbaric in Huaxia, and private industrialization has begun to expand rapidly.

However, Liu Yiming has formulated strict industrial development plans, including factory planning, employment system, and factory management.

Although the factory owners are very small for the "rigorous" policy, they have high profits enough. They can't fish on the head of the mud legs.

This is what Liu Yiming wants. As long as the beginning is not crooked, the tragedy will be much less.

Liu Yiming did not want to cause tragedy for development, so he was hesitant to plan to plan.

In the past three years, it is necessary to complete the construction of a road of 10,000 kilometers and the construction of a 35,000 -kilometer railway. How many people need to be mobilized to complete?

Huaxia does not have so many railway workers. Not to mention railway workers, even construction workers, there are not so many. After all, Huaxia is still agricultural society, and the demand for workers is not much.

In this way, it will inevitably replace it with a large number of unswatable young adults, and the road building is never a comfortable and dangerous job.

Liu Yiming pressed the plan. He was going to see it in the Mainland of Huaxia to see what the Huaxia was at this time, and then decided to pass it.

"His Majesty, Minister Jiang is here, waiting in the outer hall, as well as Gang of Empire Bank, the Deputy Minister of the Import and Export Trade Department, they came together." Wang Linhai interrupted Liu Yiming's contemplation gently.

"Oh? Let them come in."

"By the way, arrange the airship, and I will go to Jinling in a few days." Liu Yiming stopped Wang Linhai who was going out.

Wang Linhai was stunned, and then immediately reacted to his own state of disappointment, and nodded in a hurry:

"Yes, I will be ready to notify the direction of Jinling."

Wang Linhai was about to go out, and Liu Yiming called him again.

"In addition to Jinling, there are three towns. After that, I am going to see Xi'an to see, and there is the kingdom of Tianfu."

Liu Yiming thought about it and thought it should be more to see, but the time was limited. Pick a few more classic places. As for other places, it will only be worse than this.

Wang Linhai nodded and said it was waiting in place. After confirming that Liu Yiming didn't call him anymore, he pushed the door and called Jiang Wang and others.

"His Majesty."

"See Your Majesty."

"See Your Majesty."

When Jiang Wang saw the two, he thought about it. In the end, he died and kicked himself.

"Come, seat." Liu Yiming looked at Jiang Wang, just felt quite funny.

Du Dewei and Tian Rui were in charge of import and export trade, and the other was the central bank of the Empire, and was directly responsible for Xu Hui.

Therefore, although they are old people during the Surabaya period, except for special circumstances, they can only see Liu Yiming's routine report once a week.

At the routine meeting, Liu Yiming generally did not intervene in now, but just listened to it, he had doubts about the incident, and asked Xu Hui after he came down.

Therefore, Du Dewei and Tian Rui now see Liu Yiming, but instead of being a little restrained.

But Jiang Wang, are you restrained?

"What makes you come here at the same time? Is there a financial problem? Is it a problem of fake currency?"

After hearing that Secretary Wang said that they came together, they were thinking, what could make them come together.

Then, Liu Yiming thought of the fake pound of Farram Macludi, and the hostile country was to disrupt the fake currency of the economy.

This incident is related to the bank and the spy department.

"I will urge the counterfeit currency to investigate, but ..." Tian Rui was shocked, he didn't know why the emperor was alarmed.

The Imperial Bank cooperated with the police a few days ago to cracked a fake currency case, arrested more than 30 people, and collected millions of fake coins.

The reason was that the employees of the Imperial Bank Mint stole the loss and stole a group of "scrap" materials. No one had been discovered.

It was not until they stole the second batch that they were found out that the incident was small or small, and Tian Rui wanted to minimize the influence as much as possible.

After all, the rare economic survival at this time, and the counterfeit currency hitting the economy was too great. Tian Rui was thinking about whether Liu Yiming was unhappy.

"Your Majesty, the incident of the mint employees secretly making counterfeit coins has come to an end. We are reporting another issue." Jiang Wang took out a stack of information and handed it to Liu Yiming.

Jiang Wang told the incident to express his position to Liu Yiming, saying that he was not helping Tian Rui, but that he really had something to do.

Liu Yiming didn't know about this yet. After all, millions of dollars, big or small, this matter was on the table, and he hadn't had time to look at it.

Look, Jiang Wang handed him another stack of documents.

"Demand has increased, Britain and France have insufficient production capacity, and our exports have increased. Is there any problem?" Jiang Wang gave a list of materials.

This list mainly counts export materials, including materials that have not been shipped out, so there are not only those in October, but also those in November, December and January next year.

October is the least, and the more it goes on.

Liu Yiming roughly calculated that the war had been going on for ten months, and Britain and France's materials had basically been destroyed, and their production capacity was getting weaker and weaker. It was normal for the orders to increase.

"Your Majesty, this order includes many equipment, such as rifles, bayonets, helmets and even artillery, as well as matching ammunition."

"There are also a large number of coats, socks, uniforms, etc., which are completely in accordance with the requirements of the army."

"We calculated that these things can barely arm 500,000 troops, which has never appeared before." Du Dewei pointed to the materials on the material list.

Before this, although the British also purchased a large number of materials, they were either in short supply such as shells, or semi-finished products such as explosives and propellants, or ordinary industrial products or industrial raw materials.

Direct purchase of rifles and rifle bullets has never happened before, because Nanhua's standard caliber is 8mm, and the production line has 8, 62, 8, 43, 7, but there is no 7mm caliber.

(8mm is used to make ammunition for the French, and the French are not as arrogant as the British.)

Opening a new production line not only requires high costs but also time. The British can't wait for China and are unwilling to do so.

After all, China doesn't need it, and the production line will be useless after the war. It's better to make 9mm pistol bullets or large-caliber machine gun bullets, or do something else instead of bullets. Anyway, the profit is not low.

The British can't wait, so they might as well expand production directly. After all, British workers have experience, mature technology, and it's faster to build new production lines.

"You mean, the British have started to equip the army with other calibers? That shouldn't be the case. Britain should not have reached the point of exhaustion. How is the war situation in Europe recently?"

Liu Yiming asked puzzledly. Although the British Empire was weak, it was still very strong before and after World War I.

It was not until the economic crisis in the 1930s that Britain lost its last pillar, and the empire was left with only the sunset glow.

"The Intelligence Department has found out that the British are training many new soldiers recruited from Australia, India and other colonies in Egypt."

"The number is about 500,000. When I heard Minister Du say that the British ordered enough equipment to arm 500,000 people, I felt something was wrong."

"I also checked the latest cargo ship, and its unloading point was also Egypt."

"But the situation in Egypt is too chaotic. People from all over the world gather together, which makes it difficult for me to place people and obtain information."

"So I can only guess by the shipment volume that the British are preparing to launch a war against a certain country from Egypt."

"The target is either Italy or "What is the Ottoman Empire? Without dealing with these two countries, the British cannot directly attack the Austro-Hungarian Empire."

"And in attacking Italy, the role of the navy is obviously greater than that of the army, and the strength of the British Mediterranean Fleet has not been substantially strengthened."

"So I believe that the British target is the Ottoman Empire, and if the British want to attack the Ottoman Empire, they will definitely pass through our territory."

"The time will be at the end of January or the beginning of February next year at the earliest, after we deliver the last batch of goods."

The chaotic situation caused by the war allowed Jiang Wang to intervene in many places that he could not touch before, but correspondingly, countries became more and more vigilant against spies.

"Dardanelles." Liu Yiming whispered softly.

"What?" Jiang Wang thought he had heard it wrong or remembered it wrong, and hurriedly looked at the map. That's right, the outer periphery of the Turkish Strait, the Dardanelles, guarding the passage from the Turkish Strait to the Mediterranean.

The strategic location is important, but Jiang Wang doesn't understand why Liu Yiming mentioned this. It's impossible that the British want to attack here, right?

Just kidding, anyone with a little military knowledge will not attack from here. A few cannons and a few machine guns can block this place.

"Nothing." Liu Yiming shook his head and looked at Tian Rui again.

"So, what else?"
