Chapter 55 Commerce
Since the Qing Dynasty governors announced the abolition of the old imperial examination system, the Chinese were confused for a while, during which those who went to Yamen and even the capital to file complaints were forcibly sent to Europe to serve as officials. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the new issue of China Daily, Qiao Zhiyong and Hu Xueyan, who were almost self-made and old scholars, came up with examples as examples, and the whole of China seemed to have an answer, and everyone began to run for money.
Since you have money and status, then go and make money, the newspaper is right, Qiao Zhiyong and Hu Xueyan are not more than others with one head and two legs, what they can do, we can too. At this time, the Manchu Dynasty's Bagu Imperial Examination was more about reading words than articles, and some people who could make money by consciously writing or painting and calligraphy began to set up stalls along the street to sell their calligraphy and paintings.
Some people who are not so good at calligraphy and painting began to take empty boats to do reselling local products, and more active brains imported steam engines, hydraulic engines, etc. from Japan to open workshops and factories, such as hydraulic grinding noodles, is not a new thing for Chinese, but after changing the steel roller grinding noodles produced in Japan, both efficiency and whiteness of flour have come up.
After some sugar factories producing sugar in the south were replaced with steam engines and steel rollers, the output of cane sugar immediately increased by more than half, and for a time Nissan's various machines were sold well in China, and Japanese household appliances in the 80s of the 20 th century were in China.
Nowadays, machine silk reeling, machine weaving, machine printing, machine embroidery, etc. in the south of the Yangtze River are monopolized by several large families. For the major families in the south, it is not easy now, in the past, relying on the imperial examination could ensure that there were always people in the court to be officials, but now the court is not good. The way of paying deposits and becoming officials in various places makes everyone very uncomfortable.
However, there is also an advantage, that is, the measure that locals are not allowed to be local officials has been canceled, and for the major families, it does not matter whether there is anyone in the court now, and the people above the local area must be their own. Otherwise, when Xiang Yong, who had shaved his head, came to collect taxes, he would have to die.
The imperial court gave preferential treatment to the gentry, but they had to shave their heads to raise soldiers, and the gentry's regular tax could not be paid, but the Liangjiang anti-thief donation announced by the governor of Liangjiang could be discretionary, and those with more land and more money and more grain would pay a little more, and those with less land and less money and less grain would pay a little less. Anyway, you can hide from the first year of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth.
If the family is a local official, as long as the local government pays enough total amount, the peasant households in the countryside have to eat bran and vegetables and have little money and grain after paying the regular tax, but can they completely exploit the enemy. As for the enemy's rebellion, that's great, so many people in my family are not vegetarians, so you don't have to wait for the army to be appeased, and it is best to take someone to avenge the old lady who grabbed water and was killed first.
Inevitably, mercantilist measures led to a degree of land annexation, but this was a good thing for Song. In fact, as long as the Chinese peasants are dispersed all over the world, they can also do the same as in the United States, where a few people cultivate the land of one county. But as long as the Chinese people can barely survive, they will not leave that little land, so forcing them to leave their homes if they can't survive is a good thing to some extent.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was originally an opportunity for Chinese to step onto the world stage, but the country was weak in history. Whether these people who went out went to Europe and the United States or the colonies of Europe and the United States, they were treated as second-class citizens, and this scene lasted in the previous life until the joint **** commander-in-chief signed the armistice treaty in Panmunjom.
As for the qualifications of the victorious countries in World War I and World War II, it is a joke, how can any victorious country still need to cede land......
On the other side of the sea, employees at various machine factories in Japan do not even know that most of the parts they produce are sold as machines in China and throughout Southeast Asia. In the assembly line factory with a clear division of labor, an assembly line that occupies a workshop area is to manufacture a part, and they do not understand the purpose of these parts - as for assembly, it is the business of the assembly factory, and when the product is assembled in the last step, it will be ready to be packed and sealed.
In fact, the industrial ships controlled by Song Haiping and Lin Haiyang have far more productivity than these so-called modern factories in Japan today, and the various Japanese companies under the name of the shogunate today have the flavor of Roosevelt's New Deal, such as hiring people to dig a hole and then hire people to fill the hole -- Song Haiping and Lin Haiyang just don't want to waste labor so boringly, and besides, letting the hard-working Japanese develop the habit of getting something for nothing is a worse result.
The factories were delegated to produce civilian machines, which were originally intended to meet domestic demand, but after the awakening of China's commercialism, it became the largest buyer.
With the rise of Xiangyong Huaiyong, commercialism is rampant, and businessmen and soldiers are no longer regarded as cheap industries in China, everyone thinks that being rich is real, and everything else is fake. In the past, everyone just wanted to get rich, but now everyone is how to get rich and how to do it. Even the greetings of Sijiucheng began with "Have you eaten?" It became, "Where have you been making your fortune lately?" Pull the brothers. ”
Although the tide of commerce swept the land of China, but the signboard of Chinese businessmen operating in good faith has not been lost, in fact, it is the future generations, those companies that fake water injection are often fleeting, and the real large companies that can inherit are the two words of integrity printed in the bones and blood.
In China, there are not so many complicated contracts for everyone to do business, and they all decide hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels of business in one sentence, and the emphasis is on a mouthful of foam and a nail. If you don't do what you say, you'll have a bad reputation, and no one will do business with you in the business world anymore.
On September 9, 1861, tens of thousands of Northern troops crossed the Boer River and launched a charge at the stone breastwork position on the other side of the Southern Army......
As soon as General Grant's words fell, a large-caliber bullet flew from the direction of the Southern Army's position and exploded Grant's head, Grant's body shook and the headless body fell on the bank of the Boer River, blood gushed out along Grant's neck, staining the Boer River red.
Unbeknownst to the fallen Grant, a 20-millimeter bullet with a scope could inflict a precise blow on the enemy at a distance of a thousand meters.
As the first shots rang out, a large number of gunshots rang out from the positions of the Southern Army, and the Northern Army, especially the officers, were hit hard. Under the rain of bullets, even ordinary soldiers of the Northern Army fell all the time, and the few counterattacks were useless, and the range of rifle bullets in the Northern Army was worse.
The artillery of both sides rang out one after another, but the artillery of the Northern Army was to support the infantry attack of the front, while the artillery of the Southern Army was aimed at the artillery positions of the Northern Army that had just opened fire.
