Chapter 1072: The Englishman Who Can Do Business
"Where do you have clippers?" Zhang Qiang said to the visiting British businessman Charlie Ding.
"Yes, Your Majesty, not only flying clippers, but also ironclad ships where we have, thanks to your creation, originally where did we come up with this idea, but no one has put it into practice for a long time, but nineteen years ago, after the second naval war with the Chinese Empire, the expedition between Britain and Spain, we learned to make ironclad ships with iron ribs, and now most of the ships at sea are like this, but I didn't expect that when we came again, you already had steamships.
The rapid development of science and technology and civilization in the Chinese Empire is really surprising, I originally thought that we in the West have developed relatively fast, and the level of civilization is quite high, but when I came to the Chinese Empire, no, this is the second time I have come to the Chinese Empire, the first time was that expedition, I served as a sailor on a warship, and that defeat made us think hard, after we went back, although the East India Company went bankrupt, the Royal Society still supported the study of the ship, and we had captured your ironclad ship before, which can be used to imitate and study.
It took us about five years to rebuild the ironclad ships, which were better than the ones you captured by us, and within two years we built the first clipper ship, and then it took two years to transform it into a warship, and it took us ten years to complete the accumulation and transformation of technology and principles, and then the ironclad ships went rampant on the seas, greatly speeding up the process of our commercial trade and warfare. ”
Zhang Qiang held his forehead, this is what he didn't want to happen, but it still happened, Zhang Qiang's arrival made the West know about the steam engine a century earlier, and knew about the ironclad ship, and the ironclad ship did not happen until the end of the nineteenth century, when there would be a series of iron-made ships such as warships, battleships, etc., using steam propulsion, he accelerated the pace of scientific research and civilization of the enemy.
However, there is no way, as long as you are a traverser, if you want to make your life more exciting, you must use the knowledge and technology of later generations to cheat, this is no way to do things, cheating will inevitably promote the process of society and history.
The reason why the West has not yet reached the East is that they are still engaged in a more intense internal struggle, and the development of science and technology and civilization has accelerated the pace of their wars and made their slaughter more intense.
This is where I got the news from Turkey and Sweden before, but some specific details, such as the development of science and technology, especially the development of ships and warships at sea, have to be told by Charlie Ding himself.
Now I know.
However, looking at the ships they were riding on were still wooden battleship-class sailing ships, which proved that their development was not too fast, at least not beyond the scope and height of the scientific and technological progress of the Chinese Empire.
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.

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.
The fourth level is often those who have read books, and have a deep knowledge in the industry, they also have a heart to be an official, they will generally be arranged as clerks first, pass the official examination, become the official office clerk, the clerk can be promoted, can be promoted to the clerk, clerk, book and other positions, equivalent to the township head, the town mayor's auxiliary personnel.
