As the time reached 1879, the Philippine Colony was busy dispatching colonizing teams to establish colonies in New Guinea, while in Spain, Carlo was busy holding related meetings with the Cabinet Government.
Of course, this was no ordinary annual government work report meeting, but rather the report meeting for the Spanish Government's second Five-Year Plan.
The importance of the Five-Year Plan to Spain goes without saying. If Prime Minister Prim's first five-year development plan stopped the decline of Spain, then the second five-year development plan was meant to put Spain back on the fast track to rapid development, driving industry and economy towards the great powers.
Because the first Five-Year Plan yielded good results, the second Five-Year Plan has garnered high attention from the populace.
As early as the end of last year, people were discussing how much of the second Five-Year Plan had been completed, and the changes in Spain over these five years.
