Chapter 1016: Building the Chinese Empire 2

Later, five horses, nine carts, carrying eighty-five to a hundred men, traveled ninety miles, and the road was somewhat widened to accommodate more horses and carts.

Later, from Yanjing to Urumqi, from Urumqi to Lhasa, from Lhasa to Kabul, from Kabul to Kunming, from Kunming to Guilin, from Guilin to Guangzhou, from Guangzhou to Zhangzhou, from Zhangzhou to Ningbo, from Ningbo to Shanghai, from Shanghai to Hangzhou, from Hangzhou to Yangzhou, from Yangzhou to Jinling, to Jining, to Jinan, to Qingdao, to Yanjing, to Dalian outside the Guan, from Dalian to Shengjing, from Shengjing to Kulun, from Kulun to Urumqi, the second line of the Great Second Ring Horse-drawn Railway was successfully constructed, and the whole country circled.

There were two carriages, one for those that stopped only three stops, a two-horse carriage for fifteen, thirty and forty-five miles, and one for ninety miles, nine carriages for five horses, four for people, four for cargo, one for the official commuter car, a post post boat car, and the net worth of the groom who pulled the chariot and the forage, drinking water, and food for the horses.

If you sit down one station at a time, you can really go around the country along the second ring horse-drawn railway in a year, hehe, this speed is a bit slow, but it is safer or more comfortable than the riders on the road, or the people who are driving.

If you go to the inner circle, you need to take a three-month horse-drawn train, and the outer circle takes a year.

At the time when the railroad of the horse-drawn train in China was basically built, the branch roads connecting the various nodes of the inner circle began to be built, and the first thing the officials did when they took office was to study and see which one could be built, the railway that led to the horse-drawn train in that county, or whether it could be upgraded to improve the performance and speed of the horse-drawn train railway. Instead, they began to play with high-tech such as horse-drawn trains.

In this day and age, this is clearly high-tech.

With the end of the Siberian War, the development of the Northeast and other places, the era of land reclamation turned into a fever, many roads began to be built, many rivers began to be dredged, and now there is no such army of millions of captives that used to be at every turn, only a part of the government can be developed, and then a part of the contract is given to the merchants, and the Huaxia army uses some Russian prisoners and those Han rebel prisoners sent by criminals and the Qing Dynasty as part of the funds to participate in the construction, and the merchants give some benefits to the government, and the government gives some tax exemptions. Cooperate in the development of the Northeast.

It can be said that the entire Chinese empire has entered a crazy era of infrastructure, only more people are needed, more workers, and so far I have not heard of any unemployed people there.

If there are unemployed people, they will be forcibly sent to Siberia to build Siberia, now the roads in Siberia have not been fully built, just from Harbin to Vladivostok, Chita, and Omuminsk on Lake Belga, other places have not yet been extended, now a group of people in East Siberia are fighting there, and with the extension of time, their number is also increasing, some are recruited by merchants, some are sent here by the government, and some are forcibly sent here.

East Siberia, Middle Siberia, and Western Siberia are shallow and shallow to build a barely connected dirt road, upgrade it to a road, or open a wider dirt road and more feeder roads.

The horse-drawn railway is meticulously prepared according to Zhang Qiang's idea, according to the steam locomotive that will be invented in the future, and the roadbed or railway width is about the same as that of later generations, and it can withstand the pressure of the locomotive and the pressure of dozens of knots to retreat to full load, so it is very laborious and slow to build.

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.

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.
