C1080 primary productivity (2/2)
Five million Dragon-striated Silver Coin did not directly invest into the research investments, but converted into various stocks and properties to increase their wealth.
Xiao Letian used his' authority 'to obtain a lot of special treatment for the Foundation. Almost all of the industries that could earn money, clearly did not lack shares, were all forcibly mixed in due to Xiao Letian's tyranny.
Later generations famous Huamei British Joint Telegraph Company, Shaw's Real Estate Group, Letian Bank, Tanggu Industrial Group, Ryukyu Ocean Trading Company... The foundation had stolen a lot of the original shares of the extremely large enterprises.
Not only that, Xiao Letian licked his lips and looked for rich people he knew to donate, $120 thousand was not too much, $100,000 was not too much, and in the next few hundred years, the Foundation for Basic Science didn't face any problems with insufficient funds.
They discovered to their surprise that in the first three years of the Foundation for Basic Science's establishment, Xiao Letian ordered all of his funds to be invested into basic electromagnetic research, basic petroleum industry research, and basic smelting research.
Coincidentally, these three categories were core changes in the Second Industrial Revolution, especially in the fields of electromagnetism and the oil industry, which would be the main direction for the development of the human race in the next few hundred years.
Other than recognizing Xiao Letian as a great prophet, the descendant Historian s were unable to explain such an astonishing coincidence.
The army council, Consultation, and Science Society were officially announced, and before everyone could digest all the information, Sima Yun once again threw out the concept of a council of citizens.

”The farmers accidentally discovered a high-yield crop, the navigators found a brand-new island for the kingdom's territory, the civilian heroes who emerged from the unexpected disaster … These ordinary citizens, who occasionally shine in the ordinary world, will also not be forgotten by the Chinese Order! ”
”The important task of the Public Council is to select the outstanding contributions of these people and report them to the Parliament of the nobility as a reward!”
The crowd began to whisper to each other again. Many old officials were keenly aware that the Prime Minister had merged the farmers and the other citizens into one group. Could it be that the Prime Minister was going to give up the thousand years of tradition of establishing his own country as a farmer?
”Prime Minister!” Are you going to give up the thousands of years of classification tradition of the industry? The Military Council, the Consultation are easy to understand, but the Science Society only involves those elite craftsmen. You are categorizing ordinary craftsmen and farmers into the same category, is it really possible that there won't be any problems? It's so unstable! ”
”What's the most important thing? Who is in charge of the head of the four citizens? Don't these people have merits? Their achievements in governing the country are not recognized? ”
The question was extremely sharp. Xiao Letian nodded his head, drank some water and moistened his throat, then said softly, ”No, I didn't forget about them. Since you raised this question, it means that you don't understand the essence of the Chinese Order …”
