In the course of three months, representatives of Japan and Russia signed the Portsmouth Peace Treaty at Portsmouth Naval Base in New Hampshire, USA, announcing the end of the Russo-Japanese War.

In the business district, there are many chambers of commerce and foreign banks from the United States and Tsarist Russia, and of course, there are still some chambers of commerce organized by capitalists in the north, and this business district is also very prosperous for a while, which can be seen to bring a considerable economic income to Fengtian in the future.

As for the industrial zone, there is no place for Tsarist Russia to intervene, but because the industrial zone is a factory, there are one or two textile factories settled here in Tsarist Russia, and the United States is settled in a steel smelter, which seems to be really for Wang Bin's military business, Wang Bin's arsenal needs a large amount of high-quality steel, but limited to the steel mills under the jurisdiction of the arsenal because of the output and some technical reasons, although it can produce high-quality steel, However, the production of this high-quality steel was limited, so American businessmen saw this and built a steel mill in the industrial area, and Mukden was surrounded by high-quality coal and iron ore.

The output of this steel mill naturally went up, and Wang Bin also welcomed the steel yard set up by the United States here, after all, it can provide a large amount of high-quality steel for the arsenal every month, so that the quality of the arms produced by the arsenal can be greatly improved, on the other hand, the steel mill will also have to pay taxes later, in addition to the steel mill, the United States has also opened a canning production plant and a mechanical processing plant in the industrial zone.

In Wang Bin's view, the United States has really grasped all the help it needs at present, not only the steel mill, but even the canning plant and the mechanical processing factory, the canning factory can provide military food for the army, and no matter how bad it is, it can also become a strange commodity for sale, as for this mechanical processing factory, since there is this industrial zone, then this industrial zone and some parts that Wang Bin needs and lacks must have a place of origin, so there is this mechanical processing factory.

In addition to these, there is another unexpected factory of Wang Bin also settled here, this factory is a car production plant of Ford, Wang Bin has to admit that Ford's trick is really clever, Ford's staff came to Fengtian several times to inspect and finally saw that Fengtian is actually carrying out the construction of cement road, once the cement road is built, then it must not be difficult for cars to pass here, The most important thing is that there is no car survival company that can compete with Ford in this huge market in China, which shows that Ford will make a lot of money in the future.

Just after the commercial and industrial areas were in full swing, the imperial court was unstable again at this time.

In China's long-term feudal society, prisons have always been regarded as a symbol of barbarism and darkness, and after the Opium War, the rapid rise of prison reform ideology, which is undoubtedly inseparable from the social environment at that time.

Therefore, in 1904, after the imperial court decreed Zai Ze, Zai Hongci and other five ministers to go to various countries to examine the constitution and return to China, Brigadier General turned the Criminal Department into the Ministry of Law, set up the Department of Prisons to take charge of the national prison administration, and changed the "Criminal Department Prison" to the "Detention Center", and then under the leadership of Yuan Shikai, he sent some personnel to Japan to learn about prison reform.

At the urging of the Qing government, not only did they prepare for the construction of new prisons in Beijing, but they also ordered all provinces to prepare for the construction of new-style prisons, and the construction of new-style model prisons began one after another in all provinces.

It was in this context that the Jingshi Model Prison was born and became a model among the new prisons at that time.

However, the most important thing to say about this prison reform still belongs to Yuan Shikai, under the urging of the Qing government, Yuan Shikai first made a model prison in Tianjin, and then prepared to build a new prison in Beijing, and finally the Qing court ordered all provinces to prepare for the construction of new prisons, so the construction of new model prisons was carried out in various provinces one after another.

After the new-style prison reform, Yuan Shikai first unified the prison system, and then under Yuan Shikai's leadership, the Qing government strengthened the management of prisons across the country.

First of all, the central prison management organ was stipulated, and the Criminal Department was changed to the Ministry of Justice, which was in charge of the judicial administration of the whole country.

The Department of Prison Enhancement of the Criminal Department was changed to the Department of Prisons, which was in charge of prison affairs throughout the country; The Ministry of Civil Affairs has established a Police Department to have jurisdiction over the affairs of the National Convict Training Institute.

Second, we should set up model prisons and establish models for new-style prisons.

Model prisons were first set up in provincial capitals and major trade ports, and then extended to all prefectures and counties, and model prisons played a good role model at that time.

Looking at the model prisons that have been opened, the internal organization and facilities are basically the same.

The second point is the cultivation of prison management personnel, and the cultivation of prison management personnel in the late Qing Dynasty was mainly achieved through the establishment of specialized educational institutions.

Many localities have attached prison schools or specially set up prison schools, and set up prison disciplines, the names of the prison schools set up in each province are slightly different, but they are all set up to meet the needs of new prisons for prison management personnel, mainly for accelerated education, and the school duration is mostly within one and a half years, and some even only half a year.

All kinds of prison academies also attach great importance to the selection and training of trainees. On the one hand, we should strictly control the enrollment of students, and on the other hand, we should standardize the graduation examination system.

Prison officers have long been regarded as a lowly profession, and to change this situation, it is necessary to train new prison management talents.

The opening of the prison academy has better ensured the quality of prison management personnel and created conditions for the reform of the prison system.

However, in Wang Bin's view, although these words are good, the prison reform lacks implementation.

The influence of the traditional concept of prison is still deeply rooted in China's feudal society, and prison is often regarded as a place for simply punishing criminals, and its prison management ideology is also dominated by heavy punishment and punishment.

Although it is said that with the deepening of prison reform, people have gradually accepted Western prison management ideas.

However, the traditional concept of prison still has a great influence on society, and many people still have a resistant attitude towards prison reform, which seriously restricts the effectiveness of prison reform.

But there are not so many things here in Wang Bin, before this was because there were no felons in the city who needed to be detained, so Wang Bin didn't think about the prison until recently, at the suggestion of Liang Zilong, Wang Bin remembered.

So Wang Bin waved his hand, and according to some of his own images of the prison and the advice of professionals, a freshly baked modern prison suddenly appeared, but the shortcoming of this prison is that there are no empty prisoners in it, but this future is uncertain.
