Chapter 1071 The British Merchant Ship Returning to the Far East
A tall British merchant ship of 1,000 tons slowly approached the Tianjin wharf, which was the first time that Britain had appeared in the port of the Chinese Empire since it withdrew from the waters around China at the age of twenty-eight.
With the pace of the Renaissance getting faster and faster, Britain has entered the modern industrial society has also begun the rapid development of science and technology, compared with the Chinese Empire from the ignorant feudal society, from the world of princes competing for hegemony, Britain is in the far sea colonization may be a little stronger than the Chinese Empire in some aspects, but in the struggle for the rights of the Holy See, Britain and France are still in the process of untying themselves.
Sir Charlie Ding, also Father Charlieding, looked up at the steamships shuttling back and forth on the docks of Tianjin, and shouted God, and he couldn't help but scream, because this was simply a reconstruction and rapid collapse of consciousness in his consciousness.
He always thought that the mysterious ancient oriental country had always been riding on horses, or wearing silk, but the kind of barbarians in the previous religious books who pulled tea with a beard, but he didn't expect that the Chinese Empire here made people feel civilized, yes, the atmosphere of civilization was so strong, it was even stronger than London, and the people of London were still wearing long white clergy robes, or tuxedos with tails cocked, and bowler hats, while the Chinese people in his eyes were like those Jewish merchants.
Wearing white shirts, or suits and ties, or clean robes, and walking with civilized crutches, some white shirts, short jackets, and flared trousers, they ran the street pulling rickshaws.
Or some people ride in horse-drawn carriages that are more gorgeous and luxurious than Londoners, looking more lightweight, convenient and fast, and the docks are crowded with people, some take boats to go, some disembark, some load and unload goods, tall steel gantry cranes, tall trestle bridges, and cement warehouses, four- and five-story buildings with Chinese-style warped roofs.
There is also the hardness of the stone, although it is not too beautiful, it can walk up the cart, stable and strong, and not clump, 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.
This is the industry national certification qualification certificate, with this certificate is like a scholar admitted to the child's life, is an honor, in the village can also get the village chief or the chief, the township chief's reception, and let everyone look up to you, in these low-level administrative positions, you can also get a lot of income, as well as a basic monthly salary.
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.
Xuanyuan Longfei was transferred to Wuchang Mansion, and the Fifth Field Brigade still followed.
Nguyen Jin took over Ma Weixing's Eighth Field Brigade and stationed it in Anqing Mansion, and the generals were replaced, but the soldiers of the Eighth Field Brigade did not move, and the garrison did not move.
The 9th Field Brigade did not move, the main general was replaced with Baghyalu, and the 3rd Cavalry Brigade was transferred to the central Jinhua Mansion, which was personally controlled by Wei Wuji.
Ma Weiren, commander of the 9th Field Brigade, went to take over the 18th Field Brigade and garrisoned Hanyang Mansion.
The 26th Field Brigade was transferred from the Hubei Battlefield, and Shaoguan, Guangdong went to defend the Southern Ming Army.
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.
These people who can read and study the skills of various professions will eventually become deputy township heads, deputy town heads, or research far-reaching, and this is the end of the bureaucracy, and the researchers can be selected into the government research institutes of various industries, become more senior officials, can take the imperial examination, and then enter the higher research institutes.
The new carriage was built under the inspiration of Zhang Qiang and with the help of old carpenters and blacksmiths.
At the same time, under the advice and promotion of businessmen or shopkeepers, they quickly entered the military and civilian of the Huaxia Army, and obtained commercial interests and national interests.
Let the society promote its own development, Zhang Qiang is only a bystander, a guide, otherwise, with his knowledge structure, with his insight, with his historical knowledge, it will not be able to reach the development level of other travelers in a hundred years.
