There are countless forms of competition between nations and nations. War is only the last resort.

The ultimate goal was to strike at the opponent that consumed their strength and thus created a gap between them. In order to achieve this goal, they could use any method they wanted, using every method at their disposal!

The lagging Qing Dynasty would never understand how important technology was, she simply had no idea what productivity was.

When humans entered the Industrial Revolution, raising productivity was a problem that all races had to face. It was a stopgap that no one could avoid.

To put it in an exaggeration, the increase in productivity could basically solve more than 90% of the human society's contradictions!

The pitiful Qing Dynasty had always felt that the Industrial Revolution s made by the Europeans were just Gun s, they felt that the foreign devils were playing with steel parts!

It was a mistake. The increase in productivity was not just a boom-business boom, but a close relationship with the most closely related Chinese agriculture.

China is a farming nation, the food problem is a big problem, almost all dynasties change has something to do with the food crisis.

As the population grew, there was only so much land. The food production hadn't changed much in the past few thousand years!

Although in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the emergence of corn, potatoes, sweet potato and other high-yielding crops in the Americas, China experienced a small population expansion.

However, it was still a matter of living by the heavens after all. The population of over three hundred million had already drained away all of their potential!

The large gap between rich and poor, land annexation will indeed cause major contradictions in society, but these contradictions will not lead to large-scale uprisings or peasant uprisings!

The real reason behind the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's movements was due to hunger and the fact that the commoners could not eat their fill!

Even the capital's best land was constantly suffering from starvation, not to mention those remote mountains that no one took into account. Not to mention the famines, even the years when people were in need of harvests, they would still starve to death.

How to solve this problem? There were only two methods, and both were controlled by Xiao Letian at the moment.

The first was to add new arable land. This was already impossible for the Qing Dynasty, because the future trend of the Great Qing's territories could only be reduced rather than expanded.

The newly added territories were all in the hands of the Chinese, and were all won by Xiao Letian in battle!

Without a warm granary in Nanyang, Chinese grain merchants would not be able to dump tens of thousands of tons of rice!

In addition to adding new cultivated land, the second method was to increase the productivity of agriculture. What was needed to increase the productivity of agriculture? Of course, technology!

Nan Yang was suitable for growing rice, but he also had his shortcomings. There was too much water in this place. Local aboriginals are unable to develop agriculture and have a bearing on floods.

In order to completely solve the water problem, on one hand, the Chinese reclamation area had built up a water conservancy and established a smooth drainage system, and on the other hand, they were relying on an advanced pumping machine.

The steam power pumping machines used in European coal mines were well-developed, and the blueprints had to be modified by Chinese engineers. This was a masterpiece that Chinese farmers had not dared to think of for thousands of years.

After torrential rain and typhoon, the farmland water is serious, relying on manpower to drain? He still had to use mechanical power to pump water!

Continuously arid highlands farmland still relies on water wheel? After starting up the pump, there would naturally be endless amounts of water being poured in!

Just the popularization of the pumping machines had turned many food-producing swamps and highlands into fertile land!

In Nan Yang, wherever there were Chinese reclamation area, there would be such a spectacular scene. In the vast swamp area, there were dozens of pumping units working day and night.

Diligent farmers out of the dam, draining a piece of land to be flat, put in seedlings can see the harvest!

Three seasons of rice a year, how much food would be produced? Many people who could not survive in the country had to leave their homes, and when they left, they were all prepared to die.

However, he never would have thought that Nan Yang was actually a good place to eat. Here, as long as you work hard, you don't have to worry about starving.

China's capital demons were nicknames that had existed since time immemorial. The European colonists and natives of Nanyang were all dumbfounded. They had never seen a people that loved to work so much.

Many times, thousands of people would start working together, and within three days, the tens of hectares of swamps would be transformed into paddy fields!

Then there were the forests that filled the mountains, the small railroads that followed the steps of the logging camps into the mountains, and the sound of the timber being cut frightened all the animals in the rainforest into retreating.

There were more than a thousand people in the logging camp, and there were already twelve Borneo s. Hundreds of years of red wood, rosewood, and teak … All of them were transported out by rail. When they arrived at the seaport, there would be a Chinese merchant with cash on hand to snatch the goods.

Corn and sweet potatoes were planted two years ago, and then rocks and tree stumps were gradually cleaned up in the middle. After two or three years, there would be a large area of farmland again.

It was this kind of crazy expansion that allowed Xiao Letian to have a trump card that was enough to dominate East Asia, and that was food!

Currently, only a small portion of the technology was used in agriculture. When the Chinese chemical industry rises in the future, chemical fertilizers will definitely be a priority product.

Fertilizer was the most fundamental guarantee of agricultural production. Whoever controlled the industry at this source would be able to control the future agricultural production in the world.

The Manchu dynasty's Hall had no idea how much food the Chinese were producing right now, and could not even imagine how much potential they would have for agriculture in the future!

However, there was one thing that he was sure of, and that was that in the future, the safety control for the Chinese people would be in Xiao Letian's hands.

Once the killing machine, the grain, was activated, this was the strategic nuclear weapon that the Qing Dynasty could not resist no matter what. Forget about the few books on Dunhuang, if General Gui Zi Liu did not admit defeat, there would be a riot in the capital.

Of course he can disregard the lives of the people, but will your enemies give you the chance to attack him? Ci Xi had already rolled up his sleeves and went up on stage personally, and had placed all of the blame on you.

In order to guarantee his own rights, he had to admit it!

The next day, when Yi Yuan heard that the Chinese had dumped a hundred tons of rice in the capital city, he was so shocked that he didn't say anything for a long time.

"It's a climate change, it's really a climate change …" So it turns out that Xiao Letian had played undercover with us before! "

"He's playing a game with us for the sake of fighting in Europe! "He tricked us so much …"

The return of the head of state had brought the Chinese strategy back from Europe to Asia. As a result, the return of the king naturally brought hundreds of millions of thunderstorms.

Just by remote controlling from the Southern Ocean, Xiao Letian was able to set off a bloody storm in the Great Qing!

All the powerhouses had witnessed the Führer's terror, and no one dared to make a move on the documents of the Dunhuang anymore. Liu Jintang shamelessly brought the soldiers back to the Guizhou, while Zuo Zongtang focused on directing the fighting.

The Dunhuang was completely left to Shang Tai and the others, the rest were all blind!

Only Qing Liu, Qing Dynasty and the nobles did not dare cause trouble, the people who went around trying to get some ancient books immediately disappeared!

Although the UK later requested to send another Expedition to the Dunhuang to study jointly with the Imperial Examinations, it did not have the capability to do so.
