Later generations of Chinese always felt that there were too many officials, but in fact, this was a mistake in understanding, and there have never been many government personnel in China. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In later generations of US imperialism, one out of every six employed people in the country was a government employee, and the vast majority of them, except for soldiers and policemen, were government personnel.

However, no one said that the US imperialist administration was bloated and that the government had too many redundant personnel and should be downsized, but instead scolded China for having too many officials.

If the Chinese are like the Americans, when the cat runs to the tree and can call the police to help catch it, the Chinese will not dislike more civil servants, because no one dislikes the servants, but these public servants in China are too evil slaves and bully the masters, all of them are like uncles, naturally the so-called masters are disgusted, and they feel that they are too much.

In other words, China does not have many officials, but many officials who do not act, which makes the people look dazzling, the real number is actually not much, and the officials who do practical things are even rarer.

"Recruitment, a lot of recruitment!"

Yang Chao told the two officials that the officials are often called small officials, but these two people can be called old officials, one is fifty-three, and the other is fifty-eight, both of them are old talents.

"Lord Qiqi, this official has a precedent, and there are only two officials in our Denglai Qingdao Road, one of whom is still in charge of the dock."

If there is no governing power, there is no need to collect grain and taxes, there is no need to hear cases, and there is no need for so many officials. Customs supervision is actually an idle position, the customs has long been controlled by the British, from the chief of customs to the bell hand (customs inspectors at the bottom of the patrol) are all handled by the British, the customs road is not so much to supervise the operation of the customs, but to be responsible for dealing with foreigners, dealing with foreigners, is a good errand without accidents.

"Even if you add another Jiaozhou now, you don't need to recruit people, if you want to find a master, one is enough."

If the Daotai doesn't need to collect taxes and try cases, there is no need for Master Qian Gu and Master Xingming, at most it is enough to find a person to write an article, but at the same time, you can also find a small official to write an article.

"Well, I've got the final say. Recruit, recruiter. The age must be young, and it is best to be a meritorious talent. Under the age of 20, you can recruit as many as you want! ”

Yang Chao waved his hand, looking like a domineering president with a monopoly on power.

When such a big official, there are two people under his hands, one is still in charge of the Changguan wharf warehouse, and he is also a warehouse keeper in his position. In the future, the beautiful female secretary of the big man in Yantai City will be afraid that there will be hundreds!

"Yes, yes!"

The two little officials didn't dare to talk back, they didn't know how many platforms they had served, and they were old people, and they were no longer thorns, and thorns couldn't do this job.

The two of them immediately wrote a notice and posted it at the entrance of the yamen.

"What age, still writing this! Newspapers, go to Tianjin, Shanghai newspapers. Hey, forget it, there's still no one under your hands. ”

As soon as Yang Chao wanted to go to Shanghai and Tianjin to publish the newspaper, he had to send someone over, so he couldn't help but feel that his hands were too thin.

Xiucai, the mess that later generations despise, Yang Chao doesn't think so, no matter what system, what education system, those who can climb up are also top people, smarter than others, people who work harder than others, although the things learned are different, but the good quality of successful people is always only more diligent and smarter, more talented, of which diligence is the most important.

Find a group of talents whose intelligence is one level higher than ordinary people, and slowly shape them into the talents they need, at most, like the college students who don't have the right majors in later generations, maybe they can endure hardships more than college students.

The first showman.

"Student Wang Qiu, I've met Lord Daotai!"

I applied for it three days later.

"Brother Wang, sit down!"

Wang Qiu, this kind of name is not looked down upon by future generations, but Yang Chao feels that this is definitely not a name that ordinary people can take.

"What is Brother Wang's origin?"

Yang Chao was very polite, and asked people to invite Wang Qiu to the living room, and sat down on both sides of the square table.

"Lord Qiyu, Xiaomin's ancestral home is Jiaozhou."

I didn't expect it to be a Jiaozhou person.

"Why is Brother Wang in Yantai?"

"I'm ashamed to say that I'm doing business with my uncle so far."

Again, there is a man who despises doing business.

Yang Chao felt a little difficult: "Is the four people of Shinong, industry and commerce equal, then the Japanese are prosperous because of this!" ”

Wang Qiu's eyes showed a gleam, he stood up and bowed: "I say that my lord is proficient in foreign affairs, I implore my lord to solve the confusion in my heart, how can I strengthen the country in the Qing Dynasty?" ”

Yang Chao was stunned, this is still a patriot, Yang Chao is also an old fox, at a glance it can be seen that this kid is still a hot-blooded young man who has not experienced the world, but he was born in the late Qing Dynasty, this kind of person will be very tormented, they will seek the way to make the country strong again and again, and after failing again and again, it is not uncommon for them to go to extremes in the end.

"A strong country? It's hard to say it's difficult, it's not difficult to say it's not difficult. Japan's reform and reform, but more than 30 years ago, has now become a world power! Can't I be in the Qing Dynasty? ”

In a word, Wang Qiu's eyes brightened, and he looked longing.

"Brother Wang, please sit down, sit down and say."

Yang Chao asked him to sit down again.

Then he said: "This way of strengthening the country is not difficult. ”

"The Western hegemony of England, the development of the navy, colonial expansion, expansion of territory, hundreds of years without an opponent, this country has a cause and effect, not enough for me to pass the law."

"Germany, a powerful country in the West, was bullied by Emperor Napoleon of France in the eleventh year of Jiaqing and ceded most of the country. Since then, the monarch and the ministers have worked together to make great efforts to develop industry and prepare for the establishment of universities. Tongzhi defeated Denmark in three years, defeated Austria-Hungary in five years, and defeated France in nine years of Tongzhi, dominating the European continent and becoming a first-class power in the world. Can this country be lawful? ”

"The emerging Japan country in the East, seven years of Tongzhi, is not as good as my Qing Dynasty. The Meiji Japanese chieftain was in power, and he promoted the ministers and imitated the West. Implement four policies, say civilization and enlightenment, say colonization and industry, and say rich country and strong army; As a result, the national strength was greatly boosted, Tongzhi invaded our Taiwan territory in the thirteenth year, and deceived our Korean country next year, until the twentieth year of Guangxu, and even more so until the defeat of the Qing Dynasty! Can this country be lawful? ”

Wang Qiu had also heard Western stories, otherwise he would not have come to ask Yang Chao, but he had not heard the truth of sorting out the rich country and strengthening the army.

Yang Chao said in general terms at this time, just to cite a few examples, but he was also very excited to listen, because seeing the successful experience of others, even if the Chinese lack the pioneering spirit, they tend to learn from others step by step, relying on their strong size, they can also make people sleep uncomfortably.

Wang Qiu hurriedly asked again: "Dare to ask Mr. What is the country of France?" What about France? ”

Yang Chao stood up violently at this time: "France should be strong; France and France are hegemonic! ”

looked domineering, which shocked Wang Qiu. Wang Qiu later said that it was at that moment that he decided to Yang Chao.

For three consecutive days, Wang Qiudu pulled Yang Chao and gave him a strategy to enrich the country and strengthen the army. Yang Chao took out the set of summaries of later generations, and stunned Wang Qiu for a moment.

In fact, it is not just the modernization of management and the industrialization of production, which is not unusual. In terms of the way of state management, the Chinese have indeed lagged behind for thousands of years, but it is still complete and barely usable, even at this time, it is considered an advanced management in the world, compared to the United Kingdom, which has a vast territory, and Germany, which has an efficient government, may not be as good, but compared to the United States, which has a chaotic model, the eldest brother should not laugh at the second brother.

It's just that this set of management methods is used in the pre-industrial era to manage the agricultural society, and after the industrial revolution, I dare not say that it is not enough, but there are obviously many shortcomings, such as the serious lack of various systems for managing modern industry, such as the tax system, such as the mobilization system, such as the port and terminal management system.

But the difference is not as big as imagined, it is a country with normal operation and management, the basic organizational ability is still there, but it is too loose, at this time, the introduction of Western data management methods, increase the training and management of officials, and slowly reorganize, within ten years can first complete the modernization of management.

As for industrial industrialization, this is not urgent, and factories must be built one by one, of course, there is another way, that is, the Soviet model, that is the big killer, but it is built on a strict management model, mobilizing all manpower and material resources, and the final result is only to shorten the time of industrialization, which is nothing more than replacing the economic organization with political organization.

The Soviet model Yang Chao still can't play now, after all, there are no conditions, and there is no intellectual reserve, and New China can play like that because after decades of development, especially the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a large number of political cadres with organizational ability have been accumulated, and the strength of the whole country can be mobilized.

However, the Qing government's organizational ability was originally only the minimum organizational ability to maintain the operation of the country, and it was only a joke to play the Soviet model.

Therefore, what Yang Chao can do now is to continue to recruit people, conduct management training, let them learn how to manage people, and at the same time slowly develop the economy, accumulate funds step by step, that is, use economic methods to organize production as much as possible, although slow, but win safely.

Yang Chao believes that as long as things are done, step by step, they will always get better and better, and the accumulation of quantitative changes to qualitative changes will definitely cause the industrial revolution.

On the third day, another scholar came.

"Student Pan Xun, it's ashamed to say that making a garden in the countryside and selling vegetables as a business is insulting to Sven and insulting Sven!"

The garden is an elegant name for growing vegetables and raising flowers, that is, this person is a vegetable seller, and his family may also have a few acres of land, so he does not need to go out to work for others, and he can also see it in clean muslin clothes, and he can also see that he is not rich and expensive.

"Brother Pan, please take a seat!"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, a student is clothed, where do you dare to call the Taoist brother a brother; In front of the dodai, there are no student seats! ”

Pan Xun, a vegetable seller, really doesn't have the courage of Wang Qiu, who aspires to be a strong country, and he doesn't dare to let Yang Chao call him brother, nor dare to sit down in front of Yang Chao.

After all, he was persuaded to sit down, but he only dared to sit on half of his buttocks, Pan Xun was not as direct as Wang Qiu, and he was silent all the time, Yang Chao didn't ask him and didn't answer, so that Yang Chao couldn't figure out his bottom for a while.

I only figured out that this person is a person from Fushan County, who is close to Yantai, and his family does have ten acres of thin fields, and his ancestors are all growing vegetables, and the profits from growing vegetables are still good, and his father can provide him with education, and he won the Xiucai examination in the 23rd year of Guangxu, and he did not take the examination in the second year, and Guangxu died before the next scientific examination.

Pan Xun planned to continue studying for the imperial examination while being a staff member. Being a staff member is also an internship stage before becoming an official, and it will give them some experience and contacts before becoming an official. Therefore, it is also one of the more acceptable professions for readers.

After chatting for a long time, Yang Chao didn't figure out this person's personality and thoughts, and the interview was very unsuccessful. But it made Yang Chao even more interested, because he could see that Pan Xun was definitely not an ordinary stuffy gourd, but a scheming man who was very thoughtful and thought a lot about things.

"It's a good seedling!"

Yang Chao secretly said that there are not many young people who can make him unable to see through it all at once.

Next, I still talk to Wang Qiu about world history and the current situation every day, and at the same time let Pan Xun listen, Wang Qiu's joy and anger are written on his face, passion and pride are not lacking at all, but when he heard that the French Emperor Napoleon fought all over the world, he had a yearning expression, and when he heard that the emperor was defeated at Waterloo, he lamented, and he was not an honest child at first glance.

Pan Xun listened all the time, and listened very seriously, but at most he nodded and never expressed his opinion.

It wasn't until the tenth day that another young man of twenty years old walked in.

This young man was different from the other two, wearing a silk gown, a pair of polished leather shoes on his feet, and a gold chain pocket watch on his chest.
