The steam engine, the telegraph system, and the railway, as the pillars of the rise of the Chinese Empire and the most beautiful industry at present, surprised and admired Western Europe, and at the same time a large number of people came to learn, while the invention of radio waves was not known, because it was still in a state of absolute secrecy.

Maybe in another hundred years, these things will not be called things, or maybe now these things have developed and sprouted in the West, but it is the Chinese Empire in the East that really integrates these things into social development, national construction, and the rise of the country, making the country strong.

With the strength of the Chinese Empire, the intelligence transmitted from the West, as well as Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Turkey, Russia, and other countries in the West came here to do business, study, and watch the development of the Chinese Empire in an endless stream, they have begun to yearn for the development of the East, the East is strong, and they all sigh at the strength of the East Empire.

With their arrival, the commercial activities of the Chinese Empire increased, and the merchants of each country brought Huaxia almost 10 billion yuan of guaranteed commercial profits, and took this opportunity to sell the old merchant ships and warships of the Chinese Empire.

Although they did not come for a long time, they occasionally bought ships with loans, and the Chinese Empire also dealt with some old ships in a half-sold and half-given manner, plus some newly built old-style merchant ships, so that the financial revenue of the Chinese Empire exceeded 800 billion Huaxia Yuan in the first half of this year, of which 200 billion Huaxia Yuan were brought by these Western merchants.

The Chinese Empire's finances were abundant, and 20 million yuan was immediately allocated to pay off the debts owed before, so that the domestic merchants also had a lot of money, and the people's pockets were also full of a lot of things, and then 100 billion yuan was allocated for the development of new ships or new research, such as rifles, cannons, steam engines, railway systems, cable telegraphs, and the construction and maintenance of roads in urban and rural areas, as well as the upgrading and transformation of some arsenals.

At the same time, 30 billion yuan will be allocated for the improvement of military spending, the procurement of equipment, and the construction of the army, and another 20 billion yuan will be allocated for the promotion of the official residences, mansions, and salaries of officials of the central ministries, the welfare of officials, the official uniforms of officials, and the construction of reserve officer ranks.

Another 50 billion yuan was allocated for the economic development and resettlement of the various governors, as well as the construction of roads and telegraph lines, railways, and steam engine systems in various places.

Set aside 100 billion for future expenses.

With the development of Russia and the development of the Qing Dynasty, the finances of the Chinese Empire will be more abundant, and merchants or empires will have money to invest outside.

This makes the road have the appearance of cement, and there is the hardness of stones, although it is not too beautiful, it can walk up a big car, stable and strong, and it is not a foot, the key is to accelerate the speed of pedestrians running on the road, far faster than the dirt road, much cleaner than the dirt road, because the Ming Dynasty does not have the kind of car weighing dozens of tons in later generations, even if there is a carriage for transportation, it will definitely not exceed a few tons of weight, this weight is more than enough for this low-level road, this is the change that Zhang Qiang brought to this era.

Can't say how advanced it is, how advanced, but it's definitely convenient.

And with the increase of R&D personnel, mainly the Huaxia Army has added other industry examinations on the basis of the imperial examination, 360 lines, there are examinations in all walks of life, and low-level personnel can get a government-certified industry qualification certificate, with these certificates, you can engage in research in related industries, and sell the results of research to the government, and the government pays a certain amount of money to buy the research results.

The people in the village read a letter, recognize a word, or build something, find an authoritative certification, and look for you, or the things you take out are sold at a higher price than those who have not been certified, and you have to find you to settle accounts and deal with the government.

Zhang Huangyan walked all the way, and when he passed through the countryside, he learned about these things through the mouth of the young man who led the way.

Low-level certifications don't require you to be literate or read, as long as you can get something out of your hands in the industry and get government approval.

In addition, you can obtain the qualification to attend adult night classes for free, and if you graduate from night school, that is, you know ten Arabic numerals and know more than 100 words, you can take the qualification level 2 exam.

These exams are focused on the best in the industry, and if you can speak the whole story of farm work, and record it with the help of others, and you can understand some of it yourself, you will be able to obtain a Level 2 qualification.

These people were requisitioned by the government to help solve problems such as going to the countryside to count the amount of farmland, how much was produced, how much iron was produced, how much iron could be made in a day, whether some things made by carpenters met the standards set by the government, and to help the government solve the tasks of contacting people in these industries.

Of course, these people don't have to receive a salary, they will pay you when they are requisitioned, and when they are not requisitioned, you will still do your old job, and the government will give priority to using your things. Jin Lin was promoted to lead the 11th Field Brigade, Ma Sanli led the 12th Field Brigade, Du Ge led the 3rd Field Brigade, He Jin led the 6th Field Brigade, and the remaining 13th Field Brigade was transferred to the area of Guangzhou Prefecture in the southwest.

When you want to go one step closer, the government has launched a three-level qualification certification, these people must be able to speak and write, these people are generally some veterans or businessmen, government veterans, or industry leaders who have been famous for a long time, some of them are directly requisitioned by the government to give a clerk, these clerks have more than half of the time to work in the government, called the bottom clerk of the government.

They have no possibility of being promoted to government civil servants, but they can assist the government in doing things, and even put forward some good suggestions and develop good things.
