Tang Dianfeng here is very enthusiastic about building a railway for Britain, Zhang Qiang is hesitant over there, the railway wants to enter the UK, it is too beneficial to the development of Britain, he doesn't want the UK to develop too fast in later generations, Britain and France have no ability in World War I and World War II in later generations, pit teammates are a must, eat and wipe clean, and benefit themselves, just like a cynical playboy, relying on his aristocratic status, relying on his father's ability to leave incense everywhere, and then let those women live painfully and pay a lot for them, But he didn't even have a name, and he might have squandered the property that the women inherited from her ex-husband's living family.

Such a country, you may be reassured of him?

You might think he has some good intentions?

However, Zhang Qiang still agreed that British businessmen could take over the construction of railways in the Chinese Empire, and hire engineers and technicians and people in the Chinese Empire, anyway, the British had to pay real benefits and money to drive the economic development of the Chinese Empire, so that the Chinese Empire could not only receive taxes, but also borrow the money of British businessmen to contribute to local development, and also solve the problem of local people looking for jobs and increase the employment rate.

Now the railway of the Chinese Empire has completed the construction of the main line, many places have been opened to traffic, and with the improvement of the steam engine, the train is more and more like the performance of the steam train in the 19th century and the 20th century, and the failure rate has been reduced to an acceptable point.

Although the construction of branch lines has begun in many places during the period of the horse-drawn railway, it is only some trunk branch lines, some local branch lines have not been built, and many places are outsourced to the merchants of the Chinese Empire to do, and the government supervises, there are many branch railways built and put into operation, but in comparison, the core area has not been fully built everywhere There are railways, compared with the construction of highways and sea and river water transportation, the construction of railways is much backward in addition to the construction of the main line.

Despite the efforts of businessmen, not all businessmen have the heart to invest in the construction of railways with a long cycle and a long return period, so there are still no railways in many places.

Especially in some backward areas, as well as areas with many rivers, or some areas with the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, it is extremely difficult to build a railway bridge across the river, although the engineering technology of the Chinese Empire is developed, but you must know that this period is not the period of infrastructure madness in later generations, many places, many technologies, are not yet needed or immature, and may not be able to build a solid railway bridge.

In many places, the big river railway bridge, in fact, is built of wood, the load-bearing capacity and service life requirements are not high, the construction of the reinforced concrete bridge behind it has only begun in recent years, and it will take many years to complete the construction of all the main railway bridges.

This requires a lot of money, and it is completely impossible to rely on the merchants and capital of the newly developed Chinese Empire, Zhang Qiang does not want these to become officials and businessmen, and it is normal to introduce foreign catfish to muddy the waters and put a little pressure on Chinese businessmen.

But if they want to make money from the Chinese Empire, those people are dreaming, and most of what they earn has to stay in the Chinese Empire, so that British businessmen can learn and exchange railway construction technology, Zhang Qiang doesn't care, and it will take at least two or three years for them to learn, and it doesn't matter if they take away a group of professional talents, just expand the influence of the Chinese Empire outside, and let the West know about the Chinese Empire.

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.

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.

You Haibo's Ministry of Officials, Zhang Huangyan's Household Department, Li Guangdi of the Ministry of Academic Affairs, Xiao Dazhuang of the Criminal Department, Qian Bingrup of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Mingzhen of the Ministry of Agriculture, Zhu Panpan of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Li Guo of the Ministry of War, Wan Siyuan of the Ministry of Industry, Zhang Liang of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Huang Tao of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wei Wuji of the Ministry of National Defense, Du Ge of the Ministry of Supervision, and Mi Lin of the Ministry of Military Intelligence.

Another: Director of Recruit Training, Tian Xian, Deputy Minister of Military Intelligence Tian Bin

Members of all parties, Zhang Mingzhen of Zhejiang Prefecture, Li Guangxiong of Fujian Prefecture, Jin Sheng of Guangxi Prefecture, Mi Chun of Jiangxi Prefecture, Tang Dianfeng of Hubei Prefecture, Gu Yuesheng of Hubei Prefecture, Fang Yizhi of Henan Prefecture, Qian Bingjian of Yunnan Prefecture, Lin Yangcheng of Anhui Prefecture, Liu Liangzuo of Yunnan Prefecture, and Zhu Dayou, Governor of Baodao.

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.

This is Zhang Qiang's cultivation of talents for many intelligent scientific personnel in his hands.

They can't always let Sebastian and François study, they need helpers, relying on them to train some apprentices is too slow, and it is not good for the scientific and technological development of the Huaxia Army, so Zhang Qiang wants to find out those civilian talents in Huaxia and send them to their research institute, so that they can help and inspire the two people while studying, so as to speed up the development.

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.
