There is an old saying among economists that third-rate countries sell products, second-rate countries produce technology, and first-rate countries set standards.

Obviously, India, a world-famous power, the first hegemon in South Asia, and the world's largest democracy, is a first-class country among first-class countries.

Believe it or not, according to the current United Nations reported world highway mileage, India claims that there are as many as 8 million kilometers of roads in the country, which ranks first in the world, far exceeding the total mileage of 4 million to 6 million kilometers in China, the United States and Europe.

As for why India can achieve such proud infrastructure achievements, it does not depend on the hardships of the Chinese or the strong capital of the Americans, but on the wisdom and bold innovation of the great Indian people.

The rammed earth highway comparable to the Qin Straight Road, with its quaint charm, unpretentious structure, and the most affordable construction cost, shows the self-confidence and self-improvement of the Indian people in the surging wave of the global industrialization road.

These beautiful landscapes are not comparable to those tattered asphalt roads and cement roads in China and the United States......

All right......

Zhu Fugui can't make it up.

India's roads are a piece of!

The so-called first-class highway, that is, the highway can drive donkey carts, and the second- and third-class highways are even more cheating.

In short, Geng Junhua proposed to build a temporary dirt road based on India's third-class highway standards.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Zhu Fugui succumbed to reality, approved this plan, and said that the hero saw the same thing, and I thought the same way.

Geng Junhua was praised by President Zhu and left with full fighting spirit.

Zhu Fugui couldn't help but sigh deeply.

I am brilliant and bright, how can I end up with a field where the military is on par with Yuan Datou and the infrastructure is on par with the third brother?

It's infuriating!

However, considering that it is now the 60s of the nineteenth century, if the third brother is moved over, Tu Mei will destroy Riping Duzhenlu...... Right?

Zhu Fugui shook his head vigorously.

Love whoever you want, in short, if you can build a road that can be driven by the end of December, you will not be satisfied.

Speaking of which, although thousands of laborers have been abducted from the Vancouver area, and the total population of Daming will exceed 20,000 as soon as the piglet boat arrives in December, all departments are still shouting that there is not enough manpower.

In a sense, the opposite of what is happening in the Ming Dynasty at this moment is the opposite of that of later generations, which may be called "outer volume".

The serious outward volume lies in the lack of a high-quality population.

In addition to the establishment of 2,800 in the Army, 800 in the Navy, and 500 in the Jinyiwei, the lumbermill occupies the largest number of people.

In later generations, coal is no longer worth much, so in addition to handing over the coal in the Pulash mining area to the railway company, it is produced and sold by the Ming Dynasty, and timber is still the most important export product of the Ming Dynasty to future generations.

Fortunately, the primeval forest of the Tenglong Mountains, which is larger than the Shennongjia Forest Area, is enough for Zhu Fugui to plague for a long time.

And because the sale of rare tree species will consume additional culture points, the destruction of forest vegetation by the Daming Lumber Factory is not so frustrating.

At least now equipped with more than 50 transport vehicles and more than 4,000 men and women, the logging plant is still destroying forests at a rate that is not faster than the restoration of natural forests.

In addition to these two employers, there are also flour mills that have been put into operation and instrument and watch factories that are planned also need to be employed.

In addition, the six ministries in the imperial court are also robbing people.

The engineering team of the Ministry of Industry, the Royal Gun Factory, the reservoir research team, and the diesel engine special research technology team all need a large number of young people who are out of blindness.

The Royal Academy of Sciences, the Royal Hospital, the kindergarten, the primary school hall and the secondary school hall under construction, and the Royal Art Troupe are all in need of people with skills.

The Ministry of Officials is temporarily decided by Zhu Fugui in a word, and has not yet formed a structure.

Ma Er of the Ministry of Household is basically just a professional manager, far from the real power of the Minister of Finance.

The finances of the dynasty basically relied on the internal subsidies of the Long Live Lord, and they were also determined by the Sacred Heart.

As for the Criminal Department, there are only a dozen arrest units in the rock for the time being, and they basically play the role of traffic police and film police.

The major and important cases that really endanger social stability are still handled by Jinyiwei.

In addition to this, there is a force hidden in the shadows, and no one knows exactly how many people there are in it, let alone how it works.

That is the East Factory that directly belongs to Zhu Fugui.

Although Lao Eunuch Li now looks like a very kind old man of more than 200 catties.

But no one dared to underestimate the energy he possessed.

The so-called eunuch has the most poisonous heart, and the head of the East Factory is even more poisonous.

In addition, there is Aunt Niu, the deputy commander of the East Factory.

This person has a high prestige among the older generation of Yin people, and has a large number of informants.

And as a relative of the emperor, Aunt Niu is also a ruthless person with hands and eyes.

……

All of the above are made up by the officials themselves.

In fact, Aunt Niu is indeed doing something to give full play to the residual heat of middle-aged and elderly women who are keen on gossip, but Lao Eunuch Li is indeed just a happy fat house immersed in coke and fried chicken.

It is now the nineteenth century, and Zhu Fugui does not expect to rely on the ancient spy system to control hundreds of officials.

Of course, they can be in awe, and that's a good thing.

But the more than 200-year history of the Ming Dynasty has proved that spies can't govern the country, so Zhu Fugui is still ready to put the treasure on the construction of the system.

It's just sad that looking at the dynasties of various countries in ancient and modern times, there seems to be no particularly successful case in eradicating corruption that Zhu Fugui can replicate in its entirety.

The electoral system, which is enshrined as the norm, if it works well, can ensure a certain degree of clarity at the grassroots level, but it is useless for the top.

They have so many ways to turn corruption into legitimate political donations.

And if there is a deviation in the operation of the election system, such as the situation of Zhu Fugui's hometown electing village officials, it will be a disaster.

Zhu Fugui can't think of a good way for the time being, so he can only try to restrain him.

Fortunately, like most of the emerging regimes that have made the cake bigger, the Ming Dynasty is still quite upright.

In general, the current Ming Dynasty is in, and will be, in a special state of imperial power training + military control for a long time.

……

After the spring breeze again in the simple container palace in Xinjin, early the next morning, Zhu Fugui and Yin Susu slept until half past nine before getting up.

After washing, the two were drinking milk, and Lao Li was frying poached eggs around his apron.

The guards brought new newspapers that had arrived from Fengdu.

Reading the newspaper at breakfast time is a good habit that Zhu Fugui has developed.

As for "Han Man Collection", Zhu Fugui has quit.

This thing is really not suitable for sharing between husband and wife, and the massive army of minotaurs made Zhu Fugui suspicious for a while.

Today's newspaper is still the classic New England Newspaper.

This time, the headline on the front page was not the American Civil War, but the news that the British Whig Party had officially changed its name to the Liberal Party.

The New England newspaper seemed to be a pro-Whig newspaper, and in its articles it reviewed the history of the Whigs and sang praises to them.

and, consciously or unconsciously, to belittle the old rivals of the Whigs, the Lito Party.

Zhu Fugui has never heard of the Whigs or Tories.

After searching on the Internet and studying it carefully, Zhu Fugui learned that the former was the later Liberal Party, and the latter was the later Conservative Party.

And now in power is the Liberal Party, which has a good relationship with Queen Victoria.

To be honest, Zhu Fugui still prefers their original names, Whig and Tory.

The word "Whig" is derived from the Scottish word meaning "robber".

The word "Tolly" is of Irish origin and means "outlaw".

Listen, how apt!

Zhu Fugui does not approve of the so-called "Xindaya" in the translation industry.

This kind of translation method that tries to beautify foreign language works makes all the originally neutral and even derogatory Western words look very high, and the big hemp wood the Chinese.

Therefore, Zhu Fugui decided to use the "Liberal Robbers" and "Conservative Criminals" for the translation of the British party in the future.

How simple and straightforward, you can understand their claims at a glance.

If possible, Zhu Fugui plans to change the names of the four obviously beautified countries of "Britain, America, Germany and France" in the future.

Not to mention the use of obvious derogatory terms such as Rakshasa, Xiongnu, and Ghost Fang, at least use neutral words such as Russia and Mongolia, right?

Of course, these are all later words, and it makes no sense for Daming to unilaterally change its name now.

Just as the later Belarusians desperately asked the Chinese to pronounce them as Belarus, who would pay attention to them who were almost like air?

"Okay, Belarus!"

"Understood, Sanmaozi!"

"Ulla! Ulla! Ulla! ”
