Chapter 299: A Little Trouble for Comprehensive Construction

readx;

Time flies, 1864 was a very busy year for Lin Haijiang, countless jobs made Lin Haijiang, the head of the empire who seemed to never know fatigue, also felt tired, the country had just recovered, it can be said that a hundred ruins were waiting to be rebuilt, the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and some Mongolian and Manchurian princes in the Mongolian steppe started a small court again! Although the troops attacked many times, Emperor Tongzhi alone killed three prisoners and captured five, and the queen, the prince, the military aircraft, and the six Shangshu captured hundreds of people, but there were still people jumping out to add chaos to the already unstable grassland, and Lin Haijiang didn't realize that being an emperor was really that good? Not to mention the countless things that have to be tired and half dead every day, it is the so-called dragon chair, which can sit out of lumbar disc disease in two years!

At the same time, Lin Haijiang unified the cultivation of talents, and sent more students to study in Germany, which also became the source of the main administrative personnel of the Chinese Empire, and it can be said that more than eighty percent of the administrative officials and staff of the empire have undergone systematic and professional training.

But in the face of such a big mess in the Chinese Empire, Lin Haijiang still felt overstretched, although all departments of the empire are making every effort to carry out post-war statistics and reconstruction work, but as the head of state, Lin Haijiang wants to rest for a few days has become a luxury, the greater the power brings the responsibility Lin Haijiang understands very well, but the clear truth and the actual are not the same thing, it is inevitable that people will have seven emotions and six desires, joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and the otherworldly can only exist in legends.

However, the previous steady strategy also played a great role, a large number of materials in the south were transported to the north, and a large number of laborers in the north were transported to the south, which can be said to have alleviated the livelihood of the people in the Xinguangfu District as a whole, which proved that Lin Haijiang's previous steady and steady retreat from the Manchu Qing Dynasty was correct. But fortunately, although the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty nobles have no way to govern the country, but the accumulation of wealth and annexation of land is very experienced, a large amount of land has been reclassified to the state, in addition to the necessary ration fields for everyone, Lin Haijiang implemented the production responsibility contracting system in the countryside with villages and towns as units, Lin Haijiang also wanted to abolish the agricultural tax, but the national strength of the empire did not allow him to do so, after all, the Chinese Empire is still an agricultural country at the moment, except for metallurgy, machining, shipbuilding, munitions, the overall light and heavy industry is still relatively backward and European, For a country where 90 percent of the population is agricultural, Lin Haijiang really doesn't have the courage to abolish the agricultural tax, but he can reduce the agricultural tax and let the peasants have their own homesteads and grain fields.

Lin Haijiang's agricultural reform policy can be said to have won the support of the vast number of peasants, and it can be said that it has been the dream of Chinese peasants for thousands of years to be able to own their own land; an average of two mu of grain fields per person is the foundation of their lives, and 60 percent of the grain harvested in the public grain fields in villages and towns will also be distributed according to their income, and the remaining 40 percent will go to the local political axe, and 20 percent will be handed over to the state treasury. Cattle were allocated by local governments at all levels of the empire, so as long as they were willing to put in the hard work, the harvest would be undoubted.

For ordinary people, they don't care who is in charge of the world, what they are most concerned about is whether there is less meat in their bowls than last year? It is related to whether they can use a stable livelihood, and now that the emperor is gone, for the common people all over the world, they really feel what is called the so-called new society for the first time!

The braids were completely cut clean, the women were not allowed to continue to bind their feet, the girls and the boys could enter a new school that had just been built, where the gentlemen were taught for free, not only did they not charge money for teaching, but they also had to be given textbooks, and a large number of young people began to go to the factories in the cities without being satisfied with the changes in the mountain villages, and they walked into the imperial factories of one family with awe to become an apprentice, and many things were unprecedented for the first time!

At the beginning, the rebellious literati who were ready to not bird the Chinese Empire were also ready to come and not eat the millet of the Chinese Empire, so as to raise their own value to flaunt it, but they did not expect that the administrative system of the Chinese Empire had long separated them, and for Lin Haijiang, a new world and a new society, if people who could not adapt to the new world and new environment as soon as possible, were destined to be eliminated by society.

There will be victims in any reform, absolute fairness does not exist at all, and the criterion for distinguishing a good thing from bad is whether it is beneficial to the vast majority of people. Or only for a very small number of people!

As the head of the empire, Lin Haijiang actually has his own headaches, that is, almost all the industries and military industries of the empire at the moment have a monopoly of big chaebols, and these big chaebols are none other than the support group headed by his father and father-in-law, because the Chinese empire was poor and white at the beginning of its development, and all the funds came from plunder and the support of the Lin family and the Shen family, so in return, the empire's foreign trade was basically handed over to the Shen family at that time, and the light and heavy industries within the empire basically had the Lin family. This is actually inconsistent with Lin Haijiang's original intention, although most of the industries of the Lin family and the Shen family are overseas at this moment, but there are also many in China.

Lin Haijiang can't do the thing of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and it is easy to bring negative effects to the industry and economy that the empire has just started, so the only way is Lin Haijiang thinks that Lin Haijiang can only build another system that is completely under the control of the imperial state outside the system, as a parallel system with the chaebol, a country's military and financial lifelines are in the hands of big families and chaebols, which is obviously a very dangerous thing, after all, people's ambitions are endless, and Lin Haijiang can hardly guarantee that some people below will have many distracting thoughts.

For this reason, Lin Haijiang summoned Zhang Yunji and others to study and see if it was the dismantling of the big chaebol and the empire in the reorganization and construction of the same industry, as a result, all the people present at the meeting looked at their noses and noses, as if Xu Shu entered Cao Ying without saying a word, and finally Lin Haijiang was in a hurry, Fu Shanxiang looked around at Cluna, who was the general adviser of the empire's finances, and said: "These enterprises and families are the foundation of stabilizing the situation of the empire, and they are also the foundation of your ruling power, dismantling is tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall, and it is not conducive to international competition, in terms of national trade, It is the world of big conglomerates with a national background, the head of state, you think things too radical and unilateral, for the empire, these big chaebols are the lifeblood of the empire at the moment, no matter what kind of system of society, the big chaebol is an inevitable and reasonable existence, how to regulate and control and policy to support them is what we have to do, we want to build a behemoth in the country-to-country trade war, not a handicraft workshop in the countryside. ”

Lin Haijiang, who is basically equal to Xiaobai on economic issues, naturally did not dare to say any more, and Lin Haijiang was very pleased that a group of students led by Clouna and Fu Shanxiang had been constantly exploring and trying the most suitable economic model for the empire, at least in this regard, he didn't need to worry about this layman, so he hurriedly changed the topic, Li Anmin and Huang Tao and Li Haibo reported on the deployment of the imperial naval fleet in the near future, and the Admiralty paid special attention to the two Imperial-class battleships that started construction in Hainan in the shipbuilding plan. After all, this is the first time that the empire has built such a huge warship, and it is a little deficient and youthful in terms of experience and engineering organization and implementation!

The standard displacement of the Empire-class battleship is 24,500 tons, the length is 189 meters, the width is 28 meters, the draft is 6.5 meters, the main engine is 8 twin-shaft steam turbines driven by 35 high-energy boilers, the design maximum speed is 22 knots, the endurance is 3,000 nautical miles under the standard cruising speed of 15 knots, and it is planned to be equipped with eight 380 mm main guns. According to the feedback from Germany some time ago, the Germans also seem to have encountered technical difficulties.

In fact, only Lin Haijiang and Minister of the Navy Li Haibo knew that the firmament-class battleships were simply a big hole dug by the empire for the world, a secret design that completely pulled those countries that were eager to use military force into the abyss, and Lin Haijiang knew very well that only by doing it extremely secretively, and the Germans really built it, could they deceive countries like Britain, France, and Russia into entering the game, because in Lin Haijiang's view, it would take at least 20 years for the technology of building super warships with a standard displacement of 35,000 tons to be perfectedOtherwise, even if it is forcibly built with the current technology, not to mention the technical problems and power problems of the ship itself, even the cost is probably extremely amazing, except for the Germans who made a fortune in France, no matter which country in Europe builds this kind of giant ship, it is an extremely painful thing, it is not an exaggeration to say that the firmament-class battleship is the national budget killer!

This time is different from the theft of Zhenyuan-class blueprints, Wang Faren will secretly make another blueprint leak in Hamburg, Germany, so that Britain, France and other countries can get the construction drawings of the firmale-class battleships that are extremely painful for them, if France still wants to re-emerge on the ocean and defend its colonies in North and East Africa, France needs a huge fleet, and for the British, who are not willing to give up maritime hegemony, the firmament-class battleships are even more poison that they have to swallow!

Moreover, in order to be able to occupy an absolute advantage in future engagements, the British had to build twice as many warships as the other side, but for the British Empire's colonies all over the world, the British Empire's navy was always out of a kind of overstretched embarrassment.

In order to quickly train a large number of technician-type talents, the Chinese Empire sent as many as 20,000 workers and technicians to the Prussian shipyards alone, although the German side does not charge training fees, but the salaries, subsidies, and accommodation of these engineers and technicians are a large amount of expenses, but for Lin Haijiang, these expenses cannot be saved, even if he grits his teeth and tightens his belt, he must also train talents, and the problem of talents has almost become a disadvantage and the biggest problem for the great development of the Chinese Empire.

Lin Haijiang was busy dealing with the mountains of government affairs, and the intelligence headquarters forwarded a report from the Gansu garrison a month ago on the capture of several British antiquities dealers who had sneaked into our territory from Xinjiang Province, and the report said that the British captured in Dunhuang near Tianshui carried a lot of parchment scrolls that no one could identify, and since no one could identify them, it was impossible to determine whether these were protected cultural relics, so the local garrison temporarily detained the British, and went up to the General Staff Headquarters for instructions step by step. However, the General Staff, which had focused all its attention on the suppression of bandits in Xiangxi and Mongolia, did not pay attention to it, and after the intelligence department found out, an intelligence interpreter who had studied Sanskrit and Tangut to a certain extent thought that those parchment scrolls might have extremely high historical and documentary value, so he overstepped the level and mixed this report into the scope of the Führer's approval.

When it comes to Dunhuang, Lin Haijiang involuntarily fought a cold war, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes is the Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang, Gansu Province, and is also the general name of the West Thousand Buddha Caves, which is one of the four famous grottoes in China, and is also the world's largest and most well-preserved Buddhist art treasure house.

However, the Mogao Grottoes are also the most lost treasures of Chinese Buddhist art! Several major sins in the history of Mogao Grottoes, the Taoist priest Wang Yuanqi and the painter Zhang Daqian, have caused permanent destruction in the eyes of the historical surname of the Mogao Grottoes, Wang Yuanqian stole and sold the scriptures, and Zhang Daqian was in the name of art, destroying hundreds of multi-layered murals, so that the descendants of later generations can only see the last layer of the Tang Dynasty murals, it can be said that Zhang Daqian's evil consequences far exceed the total theft of British, French and Russian cultural relics dealers! For this kind of shameless people under the guise of so-called art, Lin Haijiang has seen too much!

However, Lin Haijiang remembered that there was a document recorded in the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu, about 1900, the Taoist priest Wang Yuanqi found a cave to hide the scriptures, the cave contains more than 40,000 pieces of scriptures, documents and cultural relics, after which the Mogao Grottoes attracted the attention of many greedy people, and the Qing court at that time was more greedy for the few scriptures in the hand, and the protection was meaningless, so that it was still the case in the Republic of China, and the Mogao Grottoes can be described as a disaster!

Lin Haijiang estimated that in fact, there were scattered scriptures found in the Mogao Grottoes before, but no one paid attention to it because of its remote location, and if it were not for the serious and responsible garrison troops, I am afraid that the Mogao Grottoes would still suffer a certain degree of loss.

Lin Haijiang personally took the report of the 36th Division of the Gansu Garrison to find Xu Xu, deputy director of the Intelligence General Department, and the head of state personally went to arrange the task Xu Xu served as the deputy minister for several years It was the first time he had met, and immediately, Xu Xu immediately selected elite soldiers to go north to Gansu, but Xu Xu did not know about the Mogao Grottoes that the Führer ordered to turn into a military forbidden area? Xu Xu, who was afraid that he would not be able to grasp the main points well, had no choice but to ask Lin Haijiang about the relevant points of the Mogao Grottoes.

Lin Haijiang told Xu Xu very patiently: "This Mogao Grottoes is located in the southeast of Dunhuang, Gansu Province, excavated on the cliff at the eastern foot of Mingsha Mountain, about 1,600 meters long from north to south, arranged up and down with five layers, high and low staggered, row upon row, shaped like a beehive pigeon coop, spectacular and abnormal!" Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes was built in 366 A.D., there are Shamen Le Venerable to go here in the first two years of Qin Fujian's construction, see the golden light on Mingsha Mountain, there are thousands of Buddhas in the form, so germinate the heart of excavation, after the successive construction, then become the holy land of Buddhism, called Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, commonly known as Thousand Buddha Caves, until the 1,500 years of the Qing Dynasty, on the upper wall of Mingsha Mountain in Sanhuali, more than 480 caves were built densely layer by layer, full of colored Buddha statues and murals with the theme of Buddhist stories. There are more than 2,000 colored Buddha statues alone, and the largest one is 33 meters high. The frescoes are highly skilled and staggering, and if one side is connected, it can be arranged into a gallery more than fifty miles long, in addition, in a closed stone room, a large number of ancient scriptures, documents, picture scrolls, etc., of great value, have been found. Mogao Grottoes is the largest, most well-preserved, and richest classical cultural and artistic treasure house in China, and it is also a world-famous super-large Buddhist stone carving and mural center. ”

Xu Xu looked at the Führer narrating the Mogao Grottoes, while carefully recording it with his notes, suddenly, Xu Xu asked: "How did the Führer know that there is a secret room to hide scriptures?" ”

Lin Haijiang was slightly stunned, and realized that he had said something wrong, so he coughed and said: "I only have legends from the past dynasties, but many legends are often true, so after the intelligence headquarters arrived, it immediately turned a hundred kilometers near the Mogao Grottoes into a military restricted area, and organized relevant personnel to set up the Mogao Grottoes Protection Office to systematically protect the Mogao Grottoes. ”

Xu Xu nodded seriously and said, "Please rest assured, I will personally lead the team this time!" ”

In fact, Xu Xu said that he personally led the team to show his attitude in front of Lin Haijiang, so that the Führer thought that he was very concerned about the things that the Führer explained, Xu Xu was the deputy head of the Imperial Intelligence Headquarters, and he even had more official affairs to deal with than Lin Haijiang, but to Xu Xu's surprise, Lin Haijiang actually agreed to Xu Xu's so-called request!

Lin Haijiang nodded thoughtfully and said to Xu Xu: "I don't have to worry if you go, you must protect it, this is a precious wealth that belongs to the nation and the country!" ”

Only then did Xu Xu realize that this Mogao Grottoes had such an important weight in the heart of the head of state? In Xu Xu's feeling, it was just a pile of stone carvings, the only difference was that the monk carved them? This was a rare opportunity for Xu Xu to perform, and after Xu Xu left, he finally asked for instructions: "So what should we do with the British antiquities dealers who are caught?" ”

Lin Haijiang frowned and said, "What British?" Antiquities dealers? I don't know, the Gobi Desert is very windy and sandy, and it is necessary to issue a warning document to warn tourists from all over the world to pay attention to safety! ”

Xu Xu nodded and left, not even returning home, not even bringing a change of clothes, and immediately selected elite soldiers to set off north.
