As time passed, the Chinese Empire grew stronger and stronger, so strong that it made the Russians tremble.

The Russians were not without resistance, they took advantage of a Western way, preaching, sending many priests to the Qing Kingdom to preach, and then corrupting the merchants of the Chinese Empire through the Qing Dynasty.

When Zhang Qiang learned of this sign, he ordered the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of Civil Affairs to arrest missionaries from Russia or the Qing Dynasty as their first choice, because he knew that China in later generations would be harmed by these missionaries.

They brought bad habits from the West, and the people of the Chinese Empire were pure-minded, just like ancient germs could not resist modern antibiotics, and were likely to be corroded, eventually causing turmoil in the Chinese Empire.

Of course, the Russians will not be useless to do useless work, they also use gold and fur trade at the same time as preaching, it is said that the Russians' demand for fur is not less than that of the Chinese Empire, the Chinese Empire actually does not have much thirst for fur, because China has cotton clothes, and there are just as many animal furs, during the Ming Dynasty and the Chinese Empire, many places actually have a lot of primeval forests, and many animals and plants have not been extinct in their time.

Therefore, there are a lot of resources, and it is definitely not the time when it is necessary to import Russian fur in large quantities, and a lot of Russian fur is actually obtained from Siberia.

For Russian merchants and adventurers, expeditions into Siberia had rules that the Chinese Empire was not allowed to go beyond the train line or carriage, and the horse route was not allowed to live or stay, otherwise they would be arrested and imprisoned on charges of espionage and spies.

Zhang Qiang was afraid that they would stop poaching.

Fur is the most important resource and the most important wealth in Siberia at what time, if it is acquired by the Russians and then sold to the merchants of the Qing Kingdom or the Huaxia Kingdom, then it is equivalent to a thief selling things to the master's family, is it ridiculous?

Now Siberia belongs to the Chinese Empire.

Zhang Qiang and the cabinet took countermeasures to export Buddhism and Taoism to Russia, and even Confucianism, to teach the bears, so that the dogs could learn morality and ethics, and be honest, so that Confucianism, which had plagued China for thousands of years, could harm Russia.

The Chinese Empire only learns the positive part of Confucianism, and for improving the blood and strategy, vision, and action, the beneficial part of the Chinese people, as for the surprise of friends, it is not good, foreigners are our ancestors, foreigners' things are good, we are just bad, this kind of Japanese-style inferiority or don't learn.

At the same time as exporting ideas, but also to export a large number of goods, after ensuring that the domestic supply is sufficient, Huaxia tea, silk, ceramics as luxury goods exported to Russia, in the Russian upper class of the nobility to get praise, these goods were originally a few centuries ago the West was very fond of commodities.

The Russians are in great need of food now, because they have experienced nearly 10 million people, most of them serfs, these serfs gave them cotton and grain, to feed them, but all of them died or were captured in the war for more than ten years, which made them not have enough people to grow food, and because of the war, they had to call up strong laborers to the front line to fight on the border with the three hostile countries or stare at each other, and these people had to consume a lot of food when they were concentrated.

And the Russians have very few people who grow food, most of them are barbarian tribes gathered by countless nomadic peoples, after centuries of assimilation, teaching, but there are still many populations that are actually difficult to manage and are in a state of autonomy, for example, the Huns fled to the Volga River basin in the past, and after the Great Qing Dynasty, some people returned to the Great Qing Kingdom one after another, but there were also people who were unwilling to go and stayed, but the living habits still maintained the habits of the Han and Mongolians, and the faces were also the faces of the national characteristics of the Han and Mongolians, and there were many such good tribes.

The more prominent ones are the Cossacks, who have made great contributions to Russia's expansion and have always been the largest candidate and main force of Russian motorized cavalry.

The Russians had to come up with more gold, dyes, crops, or iron, copper, and other materials to deal with, and the most they could get was grain, the most abundant commodity in China.

It has accelerated the speed of pedestrians running on the road, which is much faster than the dirt road and much cleaner than the dirt road, because the Ming Dynasty does not have the kind of cars 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, which is more than enough for this kind of low-level road, which 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.

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.
