It was already mid-August to return to Beijing from Tianjin. As Wang Yuze's ascension date approached, the ancient city of Beijing also entered a celebration. Government officials and military officials will arrive in Beijing in early September or mid-September to participate in Wang Yuze's ascendance ceremony. At Wang Yuze's request, the ascendance ceremony was simplified as much as possible, with only the Temple of Heaven worship ceremony, as well as the rewards to the harem and all officials. In the evening, a dinner will be held in the Xinhua Palace of the Imperial Palace.

Currently, those who are determined to attend the throne ceremony are not only senior government officials and military generals, but also representatives from all walks of life, representatives of military soldiers, representatives of disabled soldiers, personnel from foreign embassies in China, and other people from all walks of life. Of course, ordinary people can also visit the ceremony of sacrifice to heaven. However, they were not able to participate in the two subsequent procedures.

In addition, Prince Albert William Heinrich of Germany will participate in Wang Yuze's ascension ceremony, probably in order to continue to deepen the relationship between Germany and China. As China's strength becomes stronger, Germany has begun to face up to the relationship between Germany and China. As early as 1882, Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Italy had signed an alliance treaty and formed a European alliance. However, the enemies they face were too strong, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Italy in the Three Kingdoms alliance did not have much combat effectiveness, which forced Germany to seek stronger allies. China's rapid rise undoubtedly gave Germany a better choice. This time, Prince Heinrich visited and participated in Wang Yuze's ascension ceremony, in fact, he hoped to establish a deeper alliance relationship with China.

Now, the renovation of Beijing City is underway. The streets are widened, and the original old stone roads have begun to be replaced by cement roads. However, due to time constraints, only some main roads can be renovated, while the rest will be in subsequent renovations. Urban sewers, green trees, etc. all require a lot of time to be renovated.

After returning to Beijing from Tianjin, Wang Yuze stayed in Beijing. Because the time for ascension to the throne is approaching, there are too many places to be busy.

On August 20, Wang Yuze attended the cabinet meeting. In addition to all matters of Wang Yuze's ascension ceremony, there is also a general plan for the development in the next few years.

Although Wang Yuze asked the throne ceremony to be simple, the cabinet also had its own considerations, at least it should not let outsiders look down on China! As for the country name, Wang Yuze rejected their proposal and decided to use the word "China" and use China or the Chinese Empire to the outside world. As for the records in history, they all changed to the Fourth Empire of China. Although this has been criticized by many people because it does not conform to the etiquette and laws passed down by China for thousands of years. However, under Wang Yuze's insistence, he had to let Wang Yuze say the final word. As for Wang Yuze's harem, the so-called emperor's selfless affairs are also within the scope of discussion. Fortunately, Wang Yuze now has only five wives, which can be granted according to the ranking. The queen is naturally the eldest wife Xiong Menghan, the imperial concubine is the second wife Yang Shilan, the Shu concubine is the third wife Zhou Rui, the De concubine is the fourth wife Yuying, and the Xian concubine is the fifth wife

In addition, in Xinhua Palace, female officials are used to replace eunuchs, and internal abilities are also dedicated female soldiers. The defenses outside Xinhua Palace are responsible for the defenses of the "sharp blades" of special forces and the army to select elite soldiers. In addition, the cabinet is controversial. One side believes that the establishment of the crown prince can consolidate the foundation of the country, and the other side believes that Wang Yuze is still young and does not need to establish the crown prince so early. In the end, Wang Yuze made a decision to temporarily suspend the establishment of the crown prince. He is only 23 years old this year, so how can he live for decades? Now that the crown prince is established, when will the crown prince be inherited? Besides, the children are still young and cannot see their nature, so naturally they cannot choose blindly. In addition, according to Wang Yuze's idea, the subsequent system will be implemented. It is best not to establish a crown prince before he arranges everything.

Afterwards, there was a plan for the future of the empire. At this cabinet meeting, Wang Yuze proposed the development plan for the next five years, led by the cabinet to make a plan for the future development of the empire's national economy and people's livelihood. Unexpectedly, the cabinet had already prepared, so at this meeting, China's first five-year plan was established. The time ranged from 1896 to 1900, and the remaining half-year period in 1895 was the preparation stage.

In terms of industry, the country will continue to invest in heavy industries, such as steel, machinery manufacturing, military industry, shipbuilding, chemical industry, mineral mining and smelting, electricity and other industries. At the same time, it will attract private capital to join as much as possible. In terms of light industry, such as textile, food, papermaking, daily chemical industry, etc., private private capital will be invested as much as possible, and the state is responsible for guiding this. After the end of the first five-year plan, we will strive to establish a complete industrial system in the country to shorten the gap with Western countries. After the end of the second five-year plan, we will truly catch up with Western countries.

In terms of transportation, the state invests in the construction of a railway network connecting large and medium-sized cities across the country. In the first five-year plan, all provincial capital cities and large cities except the plateau will be connected to railways, with the total railway mileage reaching 20,000 kilometers. In terms of highway construction, the Ministry of Transport is led by the Ministry of Transport and cooperates with all provinces and cities to achieve the standard of all cities and counties across the country. In the second five-year plan, the railway network will be further completed and all large and medium-sized cities will be connected to railways. The highway network will be fully built.

In terms of education, provinces with conditions are popularized across the country. For example, Sichuan, the most developed province in China, you can consider popularizing middle schools. The state has established Imperial University, Imperial University, Imperial Army University, Imperial Naval University, Imperial University, Imperial University of Science and Technology, Imperial University, Imperial Normal University, Imperial Medical University and other highest institutions in the country. Each province has established a comprehensive university, a normal university and a technical college according to the situation. Each city has established a special technical school to cultivate enough talents for industrial development. The current school system in China is five years, four years of middle school, and four years of university. Of course, after middle school, you can choose to study in a technical school or take the university entrance exam. The state not only provides free education to primary schools, but also provides a lunch.

Some college students can receive part of the subsidy. All students who choose normal universities have all tuition and living expenses subsidized by the state. In a country whose illiteracy rate reaches almost 90%, in addition to financial investment, it is more of a gap in teaching staff. The Ministry of Education proposed to basically realize this plan within ten years. Of course, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of this plan, the government needs to invest 200 million yuan in special education funds every year. This makes education the largest expenditure of the empire like military expenditure. Even if the funds obtained from the Qing nobles invest 10 billion yuan, it can only meet the development of five years. After five years, the empire finance will need to be paid. And can the empire finance afford it? It is hard to say.

However, the cabinet is optimistic about the economic development in the next five years. In terms of industry, transportation, education, and military industry, billions of yuan will be invested in five years, which will stimulate China's economy to become explosive growth. It is expected that fiscal revenue will grow by more than 50% next year, and it will ensure rapid growth for several consecutive years. Of course, after the stimulus effect of billions of yuan disappears, the growth of economic and fiscal revenue will return to rationality. At the same time, there is another premise, that is, China's development cannot be interrupted, such as defeat. In order to avoid this situation, China has to increase its investment in the military to ensure that China is still ahead of other countries in the future war.

In addition, according to the opinions of the Ministry of National Defense, a compulsory military service system will be gradually established in the country within the next five years. All men of appropriate age must spend half a month in military training every year. Retired soldiers of the army will need to undergo one month of military training every year in the next five years to ensure that new troops can be quickly formed during wartime. At the same time, each primary school will set up a military representative to be responsible for students' physical exercises, and middle school students will conduct one month of military training every year. Among them, boys will train for combat skills such as fighting, target shooting, and girls will train for medical knowledge and battlefield rescue. College students and technical school students will also conduct one month of military training every year.

Most people in the cabinet opposed this plan. In particular, Prime Minister Liang Xingrong accused the Ministry of Defense of turning the entire country into a military camp, which would seriously hinder the development of the economy and society.

However, Wang Yuze agreed with this. The Chinese today have lost their blood after nearly a thousand years of rule since the Song Dynasty, which is very unfavorable for a nation that wants to become a world power. Wang Yuze hopes to re-inspire the Chinese nation's tradition of martial arts, which is very helpful for China's future foreign expansion. At least when encountering a world war, China will not have a huge population base, but lack qualified soldiers.

This once again caused a disagreement between Wang Yuze and Liang Xingrong. Liang Xingrong believed that Wang Yuze's approach was too aggressive and was not conducive to China's development. Wang Yuze knew that there was not much time for China now. If he wanted to complete his rise, he had to race against time. He had no extra time to waste, so he could only force development in a certain aspect through his own power. At this stage, the cabinet should become Wang Yuze's assistant rather than restraint. This made Wang Yuze have the idea of ​​replacing the prime minister in his heart. Liang Xingrong, as the first prime minister of western Sichuan, will also be China's first prime minister, with a term of four years and less than two months left. Wang Yuze, the next cabinet prime minister, has decided to replace him!
