Chapter 604 I'm afraid I will be the emperor
Su Yonglin wanted to be officially proclaimed emperor on the first day of October, but at the moment, the time was still tight and there was not enough time.

But since Su Yonglin had decided to become emperor, the exciting thing was enough to make officials big and small to fight for this day like chicken blood.

Su Yonglin is about to become emperor, and a brand new country is about to be established.

What could be more exciting than this?

They finally don't have to govern the people as a nondescript officer of the General Affairs Bureau of the Restoration Army and endure an uncertain existence.

As long as everything is normalized and standardized, then everything cannot escape the palms of their "ruling class".

As long as the empire is established, as long as Su Yonglin abides by the rules of the game, everything will be fine.

In the midst of such a trend, the upper class of the entire Zhongdu City was in a strange state of calm, and everyone was waiting for Su Yonglin to announce the official establishment of the country and the emperor.

And Su Yonglin was not in a hurry to announce to the public, he asked the relevant departments to start preparations now, discuss a process, and make a decision when the time comes, so that it can be dealt with quickly.

The enthronement ceremony does not need to be extravagant and wasteful. The new dynasty is just established, and everything needs to be done in a simple way.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites led the way.

Su Yonglin himself came to the inner palace to find Zhao Xirui.

Zhao Xirui, who takes on the responsibility of Su Yonglin's confidential secretary, is currently working hard to study some of the articles Su Yonglin wrote to her, which are related to the content of Su's political comments.

After the first volume of Su's Political Theory was written, it was widely circulated within the Fuxing Society and received unanimous praise. Many Fuxing members said that they felt a sense of relief after reading it, and they felt that their perspectives on the world were different.

So they are very much looking forward to the next content.

Naturally, Su Yonglin also has writing ideas for the next two or three volumes, and these latter chapters mainly discuss issues of economic and technological development.

When a new country is established, in addition to expanding its territory, the most important thing is to survive and develop.

Therefore, Su Yonglin decided that the core discussion issues planned in the second and third volumes are China's economic status quo and China's political status quo.

And try to find a way to break the cycle of this strange circle and walk out a new path.

Because China is too big, has a vast land and abundant resources, and has enough land and population to make the rich and powerful wreak havoc, so that when they wreck the foundation of the dynasty, two or three hundred years have passed.

A cycle on the land of China takes 300 to 300 years. This time is too long. To put it another way, it means that there is only one opportunity for change every [-] to [-] years.

Su Yonglin was lucky. Standing on the tide of the times, he forcibly led the army to create an opportunity for change, and did not let this historical cycle continue until the explosion of the northern nomads went south.

After thinking about it, Su Yonglin believes that if we want to seize the opportunity of this change to realize a complete change, we must at least let this country step into the threshold of the industrial revolution, and we must step over it with one foot.

The industrial revolution did not happen out of thin air. All these preconditions need to be prepared by Su Yonglin and the Vanguard of the Renaissance Society for this country.

First of all, we must start with agriculture, restore production in the Central Plains through the management of the Yellow River, and reduce the burden of the people through tax reform, allowing them to accumulate wealth.

People must have enough to eat and have a surplus before they can accumulate wealth, and only when they have wealth can they consume, and when they have consumption, there is demand.

Thus the economic cycle begins.

And the premise of all this is a clear and progressive regime full of revolutionary spirit.

If it is a traditional feudal regime, after the restoration of governance in the early days of the dynasty, it will only continue to carry out the action of [taking all the money], exploiting everything from the people, and then using it in meaningless enclosure operations.

In the process of this action, the land will be highly concentrated, making it impossible for the people to accumulate wealth, and the few rich people who have obtained wealth will not use these wealth for the development of emerging industries at all.

They will only [use it like sand], they will only squander, devour everything on the land of China, and wait for the outbreak of the next reincarnation.

The Restoration Army regime established by Su Yonglin laid the foundation for this precondition.

Although at present, this regime has not completely separated from the category of the old regime.

This requires Su Yonglin's further efforts.

During this process, Su Yonglin can't do nothing, just wait like that, he needs to do a lot of things, and make primitive accumulation for the radical change.

Whether it is funds, knowledge, products, technology, or consumer demand, these must be accumulated.

Only when these are accumulated in place, can this cyclical law that has plagued China for thousands of years be completely shattered, this cyclical mechanism can be shattered, and the entire country can be led to a new path.

Therefore, science and technology must be supported and innovated, and agricultural technology and industrial technology must be highly valued by the state.

At the same time, Su Yonglin is also preparing to use China's traditional advantages to seize the economy and resources of neighboring countries, so as to accumulate funds for the development of the industrial revolution.

It is necessary to cultivate not only internal skills, but also external skills, both internal and external, in order to truly succeed in cultivation, break the upper limit, and soar during the day.

This is how Su Yonglin described the future to Zhao Xirui.

Zhao Xirui was very curious and kept asking Su Yonglin what the future he envisioned looked like.

Su Yonglin told her that it is very difficult for us to travel now. From Zhongdu to Shandong, even if it is [-] miles urgently, it will take four or five days. That is still the limit speed, and it will cost a lot of money. Ordinary travel will take several times longer, delaying things. ?

But have you thought about it?

We can build a car that can bring many, many people to Shandong in a day or two.

Just a day or two.

Zhao Xirui was very surprised at the time, and asked if this was flying?How can there be such a car?
There really is, it really is!
It's just that Su Yonglin may not be able to let Zhao Xirui see it with his own eyes, which is a bit regrettable.

But Zhao Xirui was obviously attracted by this kind of car. She very much hoped that Su Yonglin would let her see the existence of this kind of car, and pestered Su Yonglin all day to ask what this kind of car was like and why it could run so fast.

So Su Yonglin simply drew a train map for her to see.

He also told her that this is called a train, because it is driven by the power brought by burning coal, so it is called a train.

Zhao Xirui was very surprised and felt that all this was very incredible, so she was immersed in the future world depicted by Su Yonglin, so that when Su Yonglin walked behind her, she didn't realize it, and she was still immersed in her own world.

Su Yonglin looked down and found that what Zhao Xirui was writing was her imagination and many puzzles about the future world.

"Why are you so puzzled about the future? As long as you follow me to the future, you can see everything."

Zhao Xirui was stunned for a moment, then turned around to see Su Yonglin smiling.

"Why are you here so early today?"

Zhao Xirui put down her pen in surprise and stood up.

"There's something I want to talk to you about."

Su Yonglin took Zhao Xirui's hand and brought her to the edge of the chair, and the couple just sat down.

"what's up?"

"It's a big thing, something that involves many people."

"Say it."

"I'm afraid I'm going to be emperor."

"........."

Zhao Xirui blinked: "Then what?"

"Then? What else? I'm going to be the emperor, and you're going to be the queen."

"so what?"

"Why don't you look surprised at all?"

Su Yonglin asked with a smile, "This is the emperor and the queen."

"Last year, when you defeated Yan Liang, there was news in Linyi City that you were going to be the emperor and I was going to be the empress. I was already surprised, but now... I don't seem to be that surprised, um, Not surprised."

Zhao Xirui smiled and said, "Now is the time? Can you be the emperor?"

Su Yonglin nodded.

"Well, the time has come. It's time to be an emperor. If I don't become an emperor, I'm afraid many people will be dissatisfied with me, and I can't do anything about it."

"Then, what do you need me to do?"

Zhao Xirui looked at Su Yonglin.

Su Yonglin reached out and stroked her cheek.

"You just have to stand by my side all the time."

"it is good."
