Chapter 144: What You See and Hear on a Passenger Ship (Part II)
"What is this steam engine of yours, and why does it seem to be a little different from the steam engine I have seen?" Sa Zhenbing asked the engineer in the power room.
The engineer in the power cabin looked at Sa Zhenbing and didn't answer any questions. And he obviously didn't continue to pay attention to Sa Zhenbing, and then continued to record the number of this steam engine. This made Sa Zhenbing a little depressed, he just saw that this steam engine was obviously different from the reciprocating steam engine he usually saw, because this steam engine had a lot of turbines on it, and the principle of doing work was different. And as a navy, he is very sensitive to power, so now he is very curious.
"Why don't you ignore me?" Sa Zhenbing asked the service lady.
And the service lady said helplessly: "Recently, we in Taiwan have come from overseas some so-called engineers every once in a while, and these engineers are all silent and rarely communicate with people. And once the communication is a few words back and forth, they can only understand some simple commands. They are very practical, but they don't have much ability to teach others. And we all rely on these engineers to teach those technicians. Those technician students also often complain that these engineers explain the course rigidly and are not active at all, which makes the course very slow. The point is that these engineers are too dull to understand any human sophistication, and we don't know where they came from! But there's no doubt about their abilities, so don't worry. As for this new type of steam engine, I heard that it is one of our current second-level secrets in Taiwan, but I don't know very well. If you are interested, we can apply to the captain and give you a copy of the information. ”
And this service lady and Sa Zhenbing didn't know that these engineers who didn't understand the world were all engineers in the red police system. They actually have a computer program in their heads. Stubbornly repeat those corresponding contents. And they don't know much about human affairs, and once the question is too complicated, he can't answer it. Wang Guorui planned to let them teach the technicians, but these engineers were obviously not able to teach the technicians, because these engineers would just stubbornly repeat the content of the lessons as if they were chanting scriptures, and those technicians often had to rely on their own understanding. If an ordinary mechanic can start working initially in three months, and under the teaching of these Red Alert engineers. It takes twice as long for students to learn the content, because these Red Alert engineers are too rigid to keep track of their students' learning pace.
However, Wang Guorui still asked these red police engineers to teach technicians, after all, these engineers have low cost and a large number, so they can be trained in large quantities. Because the number has increased, this greatly compensates for the slow pace of teaching. Moreover, Wang Guorui appropriately asked the managers of the technical school to promote some top students as auxiliary education, so that they will definitely be able to make continuous progress in the future.
"Steam turbines? What a good thing! Sa Zhenbing exclaimed.
Sa Zhenbing looked at the information of this new steam engine and felt that this was definitely a good thing. Because of this steam turbine, his efficiency is several times that of an ordinary reciprocating steam engine. Moreover, it saves coal and does work efficiently, which is simply a good thing for warships. With this steam turbine, I'm afraid a ship will be able to pull heavier things.
And as a navy, he certainly understands very well the most important parameters of a warship. The most important thing for a warship is the number and caliber of artillery, another aspect is the thickness of the armor, and finally the speed. And a warship is to get a balance in these three aspects, and then it is a good warship. And the most important core of these parameters is the level of the steam engine. If the steam engine is more powerful, it can make the ship bigger. Then more guns, thicker armor, and the ships will be fast. So the core of a qiē is the steam engine, but now Taiwan actually has this kind of steam turbine, this is really a miracle.
Sa Zhenbing didn't know that the steam turbine had already been preliminarily tested in the UK. And Wang Guorui directly copied the corresponding things. And Wang Guorui also has his own advantage, that is, the cost advantage, his cost is only one-tenth to one-fifth of the steam turbines of those British, which is obviously very cheap. Wang Guorui is completely using the advantage of cost to fight, if it is a war of attrition, no one can compare with Wang Guorui.
"On this ship. Are there any other people with higher status? Sa Zhenbing asked.
"Yes, just some international students! They were brought in from all over the world, and they were all placed in second-class cabins. They were all raised by our Lord Wang from foreign countries in various ways, but some of them are not very honest, so we will inevitably be locked up. The service lady said.
"Locked up?" Sa Zhenbing was surprised.
And the service lady immediately said: "When we invited them to come, the means were not very bright, so we ......"
Sa Zhenbing immediately guessed that most of these people were kidnapped by Wang Guorui, and it was not a good means. This time, most of them were forced to come over and work for themselves. So after they robbed it, they were not polite at all, and forced them to work for themselves when the time came.
"This Wang Guorui really deserves to be a generation of heroes! If you don't use it for me, you can't leave it to anyone else! This one is really ruthless, and it directly took out the cultivation of the imperial court for many years. As for the time comes, once he arrives in Taiwan, he will not be able to serve Governor Wang Guorui if he wants to, can he say it clearly at that time? People like Governor Wang are the real heroes, they don't talk about etiquette, righteousness and shame, they are really thick and black enough! Sa Zhenbing thought in his heart.
Sa Zhenbing didn't have much disgust with Wang Guorui's forced international students to come, but thought that Wang Guorui had done the right thing. After all, Taiwan is almost equivalent to falling out with the Manchus, and they must be enemies, so there is no need to leave it to the Manchus. And Wang Guorui started really fast, directly snatched back all the Manchu students abroad, and when the Manchu Qing found out about this situation and wanted to recall the students, it was too late, and a large number of international students were kidnapped by Wang Guorui in collusion with the local snake.
And a large number of talents have been lost to Wang Guorui like this, and Wang Guorui is enough to make him strong. And the foreign students who have been preparing for many years in the Manchu Qing Dynasty were cut off by Wang Guorui. As for the future, the talent pool of those Manchus will definitely become less and less. And according to the situation just now, Taiwan is obviously a more suitable place for those international students to display their talents. And the old guards in the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not tolerate these foreign students snatching their places, so Taiwan was actually the best place for them.
"Uhhh
With the sound of a whistle, the passenger ship prepared to approach the port of Keelung in Taipei, and then docked at the pier.
"Lord Sa Zhenbing, we are currently under construction in Taiwan. In Taiwan, we have implemented a step-by-step tax collection and a 375 rent reduction, which has solved the land problem and created a large number of homesteaders. And there are fewer and fewer landlords who live on tenants, and there is little room for survival. And some of the landlords began to try to sell the land and then invest in the company. And some of our Taiwan shipping companies are also invested by the original landlords, so that our industries here have gradually developed. In addition, we have adopted the separation of property management rights and management rights, and a special yamen is responsible for managing the property rights of these industries, but is not responsible for the actual operation. In this way, we can keep the industry as clean as possible from the bad problems of the government, and keep the industry as active as possible. ”
This is also the policy proposed by Wang Guorui, Wang Guorui squeezed the living space of the landlord, and then some enlightened and far-sighted people saw that the landlord industry was no longer viable, so they sold the land and then invested in the industry. Wang Guorui also released a part of the property to those landlord investors, and then transformed them from landlords to capitalists. And those who stubbornly refuse to transform are destined to be swept into the garbage heap of history.
"Taiwan has solved the land problem, coupled with the forced large number of landlords to turn to investment industry, then it will definitely be able to set off a wave of investment in industry. And the biggest danger of our Qing Dynasty is those landlords who hold on to their defects, and the court is full of officials from landlords, they are naturally not willing to change? And Taiwan is now like a blank sheet of paper, you can paint casually, and then you can develop very quickly. Even they had very good means to limit the survival of the landlords. He has a powerful army in his hands, and the people in the court can't influence them at all, so he can develop without scruples. Taiwan's general trend has succeeded, and no one can stop their rise. Maybe I should find another owner! Sa Zhenbing said.
Sa Zhenbing just listened to the explanation of this service lady, and he knew that Taiwan was different. First of all, Taiwan's industry is very strong and can support the strength of a country's national defense. As a navyman, he understands better than many people the importance of industry to national defense. So now Taiwan has succeeded, this is because Taiwan itself is only a province, and it is located in a remote area, so it can paint without any scruples, and there is no need to take care of those domestic landlords and Confucianism. In addition, Taiwan's armed forces are strong, and they can completely guarantee that they will not be stopped by anyone, and they have the strength to ensure that their own safety will not be threatened by others. Therefore, the general trend of Taiwan has become a reality. (To be continued......)
