King Lu, Lu!

Liu Xian sealed the title of Liu Xuan, which was expected. Because he is the eldest of Liu Xian's sons. In that year, the vassal states of Zhou Tianzi were divided into feudal states, with the son of Zhou Gong Bo Yu as the king of Lu, and the surname of Ji was "Zongbang", and the princes "Wangguo", so "Zhou's closest relatives are Mo Ru Lu, and Lu is suitable for wearing wings like Zhou". Of course, Liu Xian hopes that King Lu can also get close to China like Lu in history and Da Zhou, and at the same time, he also hopes that Lu can be his big brother. The countries of North America can be like brothers, the princes are the closest to Lu, and Lu is the best to wear the wings like the princes, in order to unite as one!

Although King Lu has been an 'eldest son' without the slightest political talent in the past 20 years, he has been entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, and he is also chasing ducks to the shelves, and he is sad enough. But he has a smooth temperament and a high enough status, his mother is the queen, he is the brother of the prince and the eldest princess, and the princess is still Shi Dakai's granddaughter.

From a ruling point of view, sooner or later strife between the countries of North America will come. But as a father, Liu Xian hopes that this day will come as late as possible. Cannibalism is the saddest trauma in a family!

Liu Xian has rarely paid private interviews. He wants to repair the ruined Old Summer Palace, with a total investment of 3 billion ~ 4 billion yuan, and he also has this financial resource in his hands. But as with the previous meeting, it was opposed by everyone.

Three or four billion yuan to build a royal garden, but it is a bit extravagant. The queen also said to him: Do you plan to get back all these years of simplicity all at once, and spend so much money to build a Old Summer Palace! That's not how money is spent.

The crown prince did not support it either, and reached out to Emperor Liu to ask for money. The performance of the biplane has been quite successful. The prince is like developing towards a monoplane, which requires the full support of his Lao Tzu.

Liu Xian's 'family' has no support. And they ran out for a walk. As a result, the guards found King Lu and his party.

"Leave him alone. I don't want to see the horses! When people walked into this teahouse, Liu Xian was still thinking about which horse to buy to win. But the ass is on the stool. Slowly, he lost his desire and hope for horse racing.

Liu Xian closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, the voice of the storyteller below surrounded his ears, but what he was thinking about was the secret message sent back by the European Office the day before yesterday. Another economic crisis in Europe is about to break out, and it is really hard to force it, and it officially pulls down Germany, which had a good economic situation last year.

His brow furrowed. I came out today to be distracted, but as soon as I leaned back in the chair, my head just emptied, and the deeply buried things jumped out one after another.

The German economy began to recover in 1893. But as soon as it began, the war began. Germany, on the other hand, took the opportunity to expand its industrial and manufacturing capabilities. However, the defeat of the United States turned a large amount of money owed to Germany into bad debts, and in 1897, when the world was not at war, the German Empire was in a financial turmoil. However, in the following years, Germany managed to reverse the decline, and in just a few years, thanks to the great development of coal and iron technology, Germany's coal production increased by 65% and pig iron production increased by 70%. And steel production has nearly tripled. Steel prices plummeted!

In 1898, Germany's annual steel production was 4.277 million tons, and last year it reached 5.188 million tons. Thanks to continuous advances in refining technology, the price of steel rails increased from £40 per ton in 1873. down to £5.6 in 1898. And Germany's steel companies are still very profitable. The continuous decline in steel prices has led to a rapid expansion in demand for all steel products in Europe, such as machines, tools, rails, bridges, locomotives, ships, etc. This has led to a new round of economic prosperity.

In particular, after the formal armistice agreement between St. Petersburg and Moscow, the economic recovery in Europe reached its peak. The size of St. Petersburg is much smaller than it was in Tsarist Russia. But there are also millions of km2, tens of millions of Russians. There were many, many of the industrial and economic elites of Tsarist Russia. When the war ended, St. Petersburg was in the midst of a great recovery. This is faster than that of Moscow, which has the support of China!

After all, the poor party at this time is different from the original time and space of history. Not only was the country's leadership young and immature, with frequent loopholes in governance, but also the failure to completely unify Russia's existing territory, which caused a large number of intellectuals, aristocrats and elites of the old era to flee to St. Petersburg during the war, and Moscow was almost defeated in science and technology for 20 years.

However, the fuse of this economic crisis was ignited in Russia. Because of the fragile finances of the St. Petersburg government, they were targeted by the Jewish community. The government of St. Petersburg has developed rapidly in recent years, and the grain, fishing, coal, petroleum, and metallurgical industries have made great progress. However, the development of St. Petersburg was carried out mainly on foreign capital and imported machinery, steel. In the first half of 1901, foreign capital accounted for about 25% of the total share capital of St. Petersburg. The main investors are France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Foreign investors value the relatively vast land and resources of the St. Petersburg government, as well as the important political and geographical position of St. Petersburg.

When they could not find a profitable way to invest in their country, they set their sights on St. Petersburg. Thus, this upsurge in the European economic recovery was both the beginning of the large-scale development of St. Petersburg and the further colonization of St. Petersburg's economy. Rapid and sustained expansion has naturally led to frenzied speculation, short companies, inflated prospects, and the issuance of stocks and bonds at high premiums. As a result, while the Jews were holding their hands with knives and forks, a financial crisis swept through St. Petersburg, and industrial production here was in crisis.

France, Great Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries, which had invested heavily in St. Petersburg and exported large quantities to the Russians, were the first to follow, followed by Germany. In the first half of the year, Germany's industrial production had already begun to decline, market confidence began to falsify, and the Hamburg stock market plummeted in May, but soon rose again. From 1900 to the first half of 1901, when German investment in fixed capital continued, pig iron, steel, and coal production continued to increase, and the Germans seemed to have great confidence in the two large markets of St. Petersburg and Poland, the sudden blow of the Jews not only destroyed St. Petersburg's economic recovery, but also affected the more fragile Poland. The situation in Germany has taken a sharp turn for the worse with the outbreak of an all-out economic crisis.

So far, the unemployment rate in Germany is as high as 6.7%, and wages have fallen by 10%-20%. While unemployment is rising and wages are falling, the cost of living, such as rent, has risen. This is the result of Germany's ridges and broken organizations raising prices. The consequence of this will only be to further shrink the purchasing power of workers and prolong the crisis.

Isn't it very similar to Japan's Misau?

-- The more tense the situation, the higher the price of rice. The more intense the mood and discontent of the population, and then the more and stronger the riots will be.

And the people who contribute to it are also so similar, one is the bourgeoisie and class who cut off production and trade, and the other is the grain store and grain merchant who controls all the grain. In terms of the social structure of Germany and Japan, these two different groups are in the same position.

The most pursuit of greater interests, in order to obtain more money, regardless of the 'overall situation', without hesitation to step on thousands of people to a more difficult situation, this is the power of capital!

Liu Xian has been at the helm of China for more than 20 years, and China has not had a single economic crisis. The huge domestic market is the best way to absorb the economic crisis, and he believes that the current economic crisis in Europe will not affect China.

At least until the domestic market is saturated, the economic crisis in the Western world will have little impact on China.

In recent years, China's rubber planting and raw silk industry has developed very strongly, but domestic rubber shoes and raincoats are still selling very well, especially the birth of rubber shoes, which is an expansion of the raw rubber industry, and the demand for raw rubber has increased. Even if this thing can't be exported to Europe, internal digestion will not be a problem. A series of rubber products such as rubber shoes and raincoats should also reduce prices.

Not to mention raw silk, China itself is still the world's largest raw silk used. Chinese's pursuit of silk clothes is beyond the imagination of Westerners. And with the gradual withdrawal of Hanfu from daily clothing, this traditional clothing has gradually been included in the 'traditional etiquette', and has become a fixed wear on major festivals such as Qingming, Mid-Autumn Festival, and New Year's Day, just like in Korea in the previous life.

Naturally, low-value cotton cloth is no longer the first choice for Hanfu tailoring, and silk, which is relatively precious silk, is the first choice material for making Hanfu. Judging from the price survey in the last five years, this thing has been bought very high.

Part of the raw silk production can be digested domestically, and the rest can be sold to the South Seas and North Korea, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.

The most troublesome product in the fist of increasing exports is tea. The British have long curtailed the tea trade from China, and India's black tea has replaced the status of Chinese tea.

Now that St. Petersburg's economy has been hit hard, and Indian tea has entered Western and Central Europe, black tea in the south is in danger in the coming year. This thing doesn't mean that internal digestion can be internally digested. Chinese prefer green tea, and Liu Siam in his previous life had never made his own black tea to drink. In the summer, I sold many bottles of iced tea.

For many Chinese, the impression of iced black tea is more directly a drink than tea. Iced tea and black tea are often thought of in the brain as two different things.

"Yu Zhen called that rebel!" Liu Xian opened his eyes and said.

Sun Lutang immediately made a color to the guards who attacked, he was Liu Xian's personal bodyguard, the deputy director of the ZN Coast Guard Department. Some of his subordinates have manpower, but he doesn't need Liu Xian to say a word and rush to run by himself.

After Liu Xian spoke, his eyes closed again. It is a little more difficult to hand this matter over to Lao Wu and let him open up the sales of black tea in such a short period of time. This kid's personality is a bit unprofitable, and if he wants to really work hard, he has to put some bait...... (To be continued.) )
