Chapter 106 Technical Analysis Bureau (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) Read! ）

The May morning sun shines brightly on the branches and leaves of the tall trees. Those pine trees, locust trees, willow trees arrogantly stand beside the lively road leading to Xiaguan Wharf, the road leading to Xiaguan Wharf, has always been the most prosperous road in Nanjing, whether it is Guangfu Avenue or Minzu Street, the development of Xiaguan Wharf along the way in just ten months, far more than the development of the past few hundred years, here is even slowly becoming the most prosperous business district in the whole Nanjing, and there is a clear difference from the official area located in the city.

Although Nanjing, as the capital of the empire, adopted the most modern planning in the planning, it does not mean that there is no commercial area in the official area, and there is no official area in the commercial area, in fact, the relationship between the two is only the main and auxiliary, located in the "Technical Analysis Bureau of the Imperial Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce", that is, located at No. 32, Minzu Street, Xiaguan New District, Nanjing.

On the surface, this Western-style stone building with baroque style is not very common in Nanjing, and in China, which promotes "Chinese-style modern architecture", purely Western-style architecture is not popular with architects, politicians and the public, but this still does not prevent some Western-style buildings adopted by political institutions, such as the Imperial Admiralty, not to mention architecture, that is, the officers have a kind of Angloriation in their bones, and even take pride in it, and the Imperial Admiralty is also the only political institution that provides Western-style working meals.

The Bureau of Technology Analysis has always been very conspicuous in Nanjing, and even if no one notices the bronze medal on the face of the eight-open paper, almost no one will notice the existence of this political organization that is named as a "second-level institution of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce", let alone ordinary people, and even the vast majority of employees of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce.

The faint light flickered softly in the brandy-filled glasses on the table, flickered on the dull surface of the antique furniture, folded strangely in the crystal glass of the chandelier, and disappeared on the ornate carpet of Xinjiang. The carpet is huge, to put it mildly, huge. The carpet stretches throughout the office like a ripe wheat field.

There are several famous landscape paintings hanging on the walls, and the wall skirts are inlaid with dyed oak wood, all of which are successfully harmonized with the Western-style jīng to the KitKat. Upholstered stools, easy chairs, sofas – all of them are wrapped in the finest red sè leather with a gold sè pattern.

Admittedly, the overall style of this office is indeed a little out of harmony with the "austere" style emphasized by the Imperial Government, and such a palatial office is somewhat out of tune with the name of the "政 fǔ institution", but sometimes some things are like this, and this office, which is far more luxurious than His Majesty's office, is hardly noticeable despite its existence.

In fact, the owner of this house was, to some extent, a close confidant of His Majesty the Emperor.

Sitting at his desk with an ornate desktop large enough to reflect a human figure, Shi Si took a document from the file box, then opened it, and after a few seconds, he began to approve the document writing, in a way, Shi Si, who wears many hats, now spends most of his time in this office, and the lounge next to the office is his home.

The position of director of the Technical Analysis Bureau is his most important position, and only those who work in this "inconspicuous" organization know that this technical bureau, which is ostensibly a second-level institution of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, is in fact in no way inferior to most of the "judicial, educational, army, navy, finance, foreign affairs, and agricultural commerce", and even to a certain extent his powers and responsibilities are far heavier than those of other ministries.

"Negotiated directly with Krupp Steel and proposed to introduce it at a price of 3.5 million marks......"

After reading the first report, Shi Si picked up a dipping pen and made comments on the document, and this is his job, when the Bureau of Technical Analysis was established last year, its purpose was to absorb the hundreds of years of technology accumulation in Europe and the United States at a low cost and with the support of the government through the measures of "technical exploration" and "optimization of cutting-edge", in the name of the state rather than the enterprise, with the support of the government, with low cost and extremely high efficiency, and then transfer the patented technology to domestic capable companies and enterprises.

At the same time, the Technical Analysis Bureau is also the only institution in China that has a machine import license, and when the Imperial Council passed the proposal that "whether it is a government-run or a sī-run enterprise importing machinery, it must go through the Technical Analysis Bureau", foreign foreign companies were cheered, and they saw "oil and water", and only half a year later, there were only "0" foreign companies still engaged in machine trade in China. ,

The reason for unified procurement is to achieve "scale" in the process of introducing machinery, using the offices of embassies and consulates of the Bureau of Technical Analysis abroad to negotiate directly with foreign businessmen, while lowering the purchase price of machinery, and at the same time to divide and judge the technical quantity, equipment samples, and process routes of foreign products, and introduce their technology while introducing machines.

“…… They can refuse, notify the customs to find an excuse to stop the issuance of German dye import licenses, the temporary difficulties in the production of factories can be overcome, but the Germans need the market, we need the technical ......"

Finally, after nearly a hour of work, Shi Si put the file box in the file basket with the label "signed" on the side, and then drank the tea on the table in one go.

power

In the short period of official processing, those signatures, approvals, words, and agencies involved are almost commands, and to a certain extent, they represent the power of the "Technical Analysis Bureau" as the presiding officer of this special authority. Whether in Nanjing, or hundreds of kilometers away in Shanghai, people more often refer to him by the nickname "old-fashioned": some people have flattering respect

Some, with knee-jerk fear, and still others with open hatred.

For the Technical Analysis Bureau, some people like it, some people hate it, but for Shi Si, he knows the importance of this institution, whether he likes it or hates it, what he has to do is to do it as well as possible.

Thinking of something else, Shi Si picked up the phone.

"Get your car ready, I'm going to see Your Majesty"

At the same time as he put down the phone, Shi Si got up and left the office, whether as the "Minister of the Dragon" or as the director of the "Technical Analysis Bureau", he could have a "privilege" that outsiders could not get, and he could go to see His Majesty whenever he needed to.

"When can I have a good vacation?"

Lazily leaning back on the circle chair, while holding his slightly sour right hand, Chen Moran muttered to himself. Although it is a summer summer to avoid this in the other garden, this government affairs has not stopped because he is in the other garden.

Although there is no "power of life and death" of the emperor in the old days, but in China there are no few people who doubt the fundamental theory of "I am the country", and no one will doubt that "I am the country", which is the fundamental fact in China, and because of this, as the emperor, Chen Moran has a wide range of power far better than the kings of the three major ** countries, whether it is the Russian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or even the Ottoman Empire, their emperor's power, to some extent, is inferior to Chen Moran, and the tsar needs to consider the opinions of the Council of Ministers. Austria-Hungary needed to take into account the opinion of the parliament, and the power of the supreme sultan was even more "supreme".

And Chen Moran, who rules one of the four major empires in the world, knows what kind of power he has, supreme power...... Hmmm, very yòu people, but ...... It's also exhausting.

"It's really not good, in the future, Lao Tzu will have to make a constitution and throw this pile of to others......"

said so, but Chen Moran knew that if he let himself give up power, it would really be ...... Reluctant. A great husband cannot be without power for a day, let alone supreme power?

Exhaustion is exhaustion, and things always have to be done. The mistakes of officials can cause great harm to the people, but the mistakes of the emperor can destroy the whole country, and I can still distinguish the importance of this.

"Your Majesty, Lord Shi asks to see you"

The report made Chen Moran smile, compared to the boring government instructions, he still likes to listen to other people's reports, on the one hand, it is true that others explain in more detail, but the most important thing is that anyone is easy to immerse themselves in other people's compliments.

"Invite Him In"

When he said this, Chen Moran tǐng slightly, and even deliberately buttoned the originally loose military uniform collar, the emperor of China did not need a dragon robe, only a military uniform.

"The minister has seen His Majesty"

Walking into this Western-style study, Shi Sibi gave a respectful salute, he had repeatedly criticized others for their disrespectful words to His Majesty, and of course he would not make the same mistake.

"Excuse me, give a seat"

With his right hand stretched out, he took a white Western-style soft chair from the wall of the study room and placed it at an angle of 15 to 25 degrees to the left side in front of His Majesty's desk.

"What's the matter?"

After signaling to retreat, Chen Moran smiled and looked at His Majesty who was sitting in vain, he has always liked this person, in addition to his talents, there is also his respect for himself, sometimes, it is their cautious respect that allows him, the emperor who does not have "three palaces and six courts", to experience some "emperor" feelings.

"Your Majesty, here is a copy of the "Proposal on the Industrial Planning of the Empire" drafted by the experts of the Minister and the Technical Bureau, and the Minister invites Your Majesty to read it."

Standing up respectfully, Shi Si held a document with both hands, the thickness of the document was about two centimeters, almost one or two hundred pages, just looking at the thickness of the document, Chen Moran suddenly felt a tingling scalp, although his scalp was numb, but his mouth was saying.

"Oh? Is it? Imperial Industrial Planning Advice? With bō, you're overstepping your authority."

Laughing and taking over the thick plan, Chen Moran didn't look at it for the first time.

"Your Majesty, the minister is just a little loyal to the courtier."

"Well, yes, I can't finish reading it for a while anyway, so I'm not in a hurry to see it for the time being, so you can tell me about the industrial planning suggestions of this empire."
