As a result, the next day, the British sent a special envoy to finalize a package agreement with Lin Youde to exchange mining rights for technology. Moreover, I don’t know if it was the power of Lin Youde’s kiss, but the Queen’s special envoy did not mention the twenty-year mining period.
.
After the special envoy left, Lin Youde immediately instructed the Helangyabo headquarters to establish an Australian development branch, and directly designated several areas, asking Helangyabo to immediately organize experienced geological experts to go out for prospecting.
People in the 21st century know that Australia is a big iron ore country. There are a large number of high-quality open-pit iron ore veins in Western Australia, especially the open-pit ore veins in the Pilbara region. The quality is amazing. The ore mined in this area
It can be directly put into the furnace for smelting without any treatment, and it can be called the finest product among natural mineral veins.
However, before 1952, everyone believed that Australia was a country with poor iron ore, and some even predicted that Australia's iron ore would be completely mined in 1965, and Australia would become a 100% iron ore importer. So Weiss
Soon after the Minster Act was passed, the independent Australian Commonwealth began to ban the export of iron ore and restrict the mining of iron ore.
It was probably because of this that Queen Isabella did not mention the twenty-year mining period - there was not much iron ore, so why restrict others' mining and just sell it as a favor.
So Lin Youde got a big deal in a gorgeous way. Not long after his order was issued, the "exploration team" carrying thousands of people set off for Western Australia by ship.
Soon, the exploration team returned good news: they had found high-quality open-pit mineral veins in the area designated by Lin Youde, so a 10,000-person exploration team completed its formation at an astonishing speed and set out for this new territory in a mighty manner.
In the following years, Lin Kee systematically transported pioneers to the wilderness of Western Australia and established towns such as New Guangzhou, New Foshan, and New Xiamen in Western Australia. These actions, together with Lin Kee's continuous expansion of production capacity, led to the establishment of new areas in Southern China.
There is a labor shortage in China and the Philippines - this is really a rare thing in the eyes of Lin Youde, a future person, that China can actually have a labor shortage!
So Lin Ji launched a new policy: family planning. Originally, Lin Youde wanted to encourage childbearing to act like a heroic mother, but when he thought about it, if he had too many children and wanted to control it, he would have to eat what he said, so he might as well
It would be better to call it family planning from the beginning. When you want to have more children, encourage more children. When you want to control it, control it. How good.
Of course, these are all things for later.
In the early summer of 1904, after receiving a lot of benefits, Lin Youde returned to Langgabo from Beibu Gulf with satisfaction.
As soon as he got off the ship, Lin Youde saw a huge portrait of himself hung on the outer wall of the new office building at the port. Don't tell me, it feels good. "Big Brother is watching you" or something like that, as long as you are the one in the portrait,
Then the only thing left is pleasure.
Originally, both domestically and within Linji, the atmosphere of the mythical Lin Youde was already very strong. This time, he directly designated the iron ore exploration area in Australia and didn't even bother to ask Jiu Jinji to do a divination to cover it up, so "
The rumor that Master Lin is the True Dragon Emperor" became more and more serious.
When he returned to the base camp, Ba led Lin Shenhe, who was already able to walk, and his newly born daughter Lin Shenye to greet him at the gate. Ba recovered quite well after giving birth, and he didn't know if it was due to the influence of childbirth. Lin Youde felt that her
The body is much plumper than before.
Because of this, after Lin Youde kissed his son and daughter, he opened his arms to hug her, but his second wife gave him a fierce look.
"Did you forcefully kiss the Queen of England at the banquet?"
"Uh, yes." Lin Youde thought badly and wanted to be severely scolded.
Unexpectedly, Ba stared at him for a while, then shook his head and sighed...
"You...when are you going to change this bad habit of being lustful?"
"I have restrained myself a lot." Lin Youde is the type who shines brightly when given a little sunshine. As soon as he saw Ba's softening, he immediately began to feel aggrieved, "You see, since I got married to Josephine, I rarely touch the maid team.
Girls, even though every one of them really wants to devote themselves to me..."
Ba stared at Lin Youde and sighed again, looking like "I really can't do anything to you."
At this time, the maids behind Ba, who were ready to come up to serve the young master and young lady who were still babies, all blushed with embarrassment.
**
After returning to Horangabo, Lin Youde's life gradually returned to normal.
But this time, Tomoe stayed with him all day.
Lin Ji's rule in Japan has stabilized, and Ba can finally withdraw. She is now showing more and more characteristics of a full-time wife, but she will still help Lin Youde handle Japanese official documents, and serve as a consultant in staff meetings.
.
Accordingly, Josephine and Xun became more and more involved in Sophie's research, helping her collect various data, improve rx and promote the mass production of the series.
However, every night, Lin Youde still sleeps with his wife and lover. In order to accommodate so many people, Lin Youde specially customized an extra large bed. Let alone four people lying on it at the same time, ten people lying on it at the same time will not feel crowded.
Every night Lin Youde lay on the big bed, surrounded by the tenderness of a beautiful girl or a beautiful young woman, and he deeply felt the excitement of being a winner in life.
Time flies by like this. In the blink of an eye, compared to the previous years, the very calm year 1904 is coming to an end. In the first work report of the first federal government at the end of the year, the economic situation of the entire federal government has been comprehensively improved.
, the overall tax revenue within the federal territory has increased by about 50% compared to the Qing government - of course a large part of this is caused by the increase in tariffs, and it does not include taxes from overseas provinces controlled by the Admiralty.
Lin Youde's Lam Kee has become a major federal taxpayer, and this tax is only the business tax, stamp duty and sales tax on Lin Kee's domestic branch. Lin Kee's overseas properties are not taxed.
Domestic steel production has increased several times compared with the late Qing Dynasty, but almost all of the new production is controlled by Lin Youde. Similarly, the newly added domestic shipbuilding, gun-making, machine tool manufacturing and other heavy industrial production capacities are also concentrated in Lin Youde's hands.
However, the mainland's light industry production capacity has developed very rapidly. Businessmen in Nanjing and Shanghai have taken over a large number of foreign yarn mills and garment factories through various means. In addition, light industries such as flour mills have also blossomed everywhere.
In short, in terms of light industry, the mainland's wealthy gentry and plutocrats have great potential to squeeze Lin Ji out. But Lin Youde is not worried about this at all. He believes that the increase in consumer goods will help improve people's living standards and allow people to feel the federal government firsthand.
It is good and contributes to social stability, and when society is stable, everyone can make money and be comfortable, right?
At the same time, the country has initially completed the establishment of National Guard Divisions and Border Defense Divisions, adding a total of 16 National Guard Divisions and 7 Border Defense Divisions with a total of about 300,000 new troops - although many of the troops are not fully armed and poorly trained.
Despite all expectations, there is still a widespread phenomenon of empty pay, but after all, the army has been established.
The strength of Yuan Shikai's federal army has also been greatly strengthened, because the domestic gentry and the former revolutionaries are all afraid that Lin Youde will suddenly go back on his word and start a civil war, especially after being yelled at by Lin Youde in Indochina, Chen Qimei and the others
I was so scared that I increased the allocation for the Army when I returned home.
The federal army is now officially organized into three armies and ten divisions. The organization of these army divisions is different from that of the National Guard Division. There are more than 30,000 people in each division, so the federal army has more than 300,000 people, and its equipment is far better than that of the provinces.
His own army must be sophisticated, especially in terms of the popularity of radio. Yuan Shikai was far ahead of the other provinces with Lin Youde's strong support.
As for the Federal Navy, since the United States is busy building super-dreadnoughts for itself, and the Federation's own shipbuilding capabilities have not yet caught up, the Navy has no new battleships entering service, but Lin Kee's shipyard has built six new armored cruisers.
In addition, three submarines have joined active service.
The establishment of the Marine Corps was expanded to five divisions. In addition to the original two divisions, it was also organized into the Third Division composed mainly of soldiers from Taiwan and Ryukyu, the Fourth Division composed mainly of soldiers from East Japan, and the Fourth Division composed mainly of soldiers from West Japan.
The Fifth Division is the main force. These five divisions, with approximately 110,000 troops, are considered by the West to be the most elite land combat force of the Federation.
It can be said that when the dawn of 1905 arrived, Lin Youde exceeded the goal he set back then. Through his efforts, China has become a recognized first-class power and stands among the great powers.
At this time, the Russian Revolution of 1905 ushered in the turbulent first half of the 20th century.
