Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time.

Xiang Zhi died at the beginning, who knows the truth of his life?

Jia Liu's respect for technical personnel must come from the bottom of his heart, and it is by no means a hypocritical act, because he knows that technology is the primary productive force of social innovation.

Technology is also the only password to grasp wealth.

may be biased, but Jia Liu believes that reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is not as valuable to society as a big worker.

As "scholars", the education they received was useless for social progress, because the core of Confucianism, the monarch and the world, was, to put it bluntly, the idea of "official standard".

Learn and excel.

Studying is not for the sake of social development, not for the rejuvenation of the country and the strengthening of the army, not for the prosperity of the people, but for learning how to manage people and how to be managed.

This idea was severely attacked at some time in Jia Liu's previous life, but unfortunately people died in government, and the result was that bureaucracy continued to run rampant, causing the whole society to always develop around the "official standard", which led to many drawbacks.

There is a joke somewhere, if the new son-in-law has a structure, the mother-in-law is happy to stir her hair, and the father-in-law is interested in going fishing.

Although it is a joke, it is not difficult to see that the idea of the official standard is deeply ingrained even after hundreds of years.

However, it is technology that is really driving social progress.

It is a pity that technicians have not entered the stream since ancient times, and in today's imperial examination system, it is even more impossible for technicians to enter and exit.

The reason is that there is no education.

Jia Liu will definitely not be able to defend the ideological humanities, because he can't even come up with a system that can defend Confucianism, but he can take scientific and technological personnel as the main support object in his own territory.

That is, pragmatism.

Official position, money, fame and fortune.

As long as the scientific and technological personnel can bring wealth to Zhili, Jia Liu will not be stingy with rewards.

If anyone can get the electric light and telephone out for him, and let the throne sit for others, they can discuss it.

You can talk about everything.

In fact, as long as Jia Liu sends a document in the name of the governor's yamen, or asks his second brother-in-law Gao Delu to represent him, why did he personally go into battle and make this big show like a hard performance.

Because, he understands a saying - what is good at the top, what is bad at the bottom!

As the governor of Zhili, the head of the feudal territory, the promotion of any official in the territory of Zhili is in the hands of his Jia Liu, so if these people want to develop and climb up, they have to figure out what Lord Jia means, and they have to do it according to Lord Jia's wishes.

If you do it well, you will be promoted and make a fortune.

It's not good, and you do it at your own risk.

It is certain that after today's events get out, Zhili will set off a trend of attaching importance to technical personnel, and those officials who may not know what industry is at all will also carefully read the interpretation of what industry is recently launched by the "Daqing Daily".

For example, if Lord Jia wants to make steel, as long as there are conditions in various places, there will definitely be large and small steel mills.

This is what Jia Liu is happy to see.

At the macro level, he only needs to grasp the degree well, so that industrial steelmaking does not evolve into national steelmaking.

That is, there is a degree in everything, although we are in a hurry, but we cannot violate the objective economic laws and the facts of people's livelihood, and ignore the reality to catch up with the law.

Because he was so happy at the celebration banquet, Jia Liu drank too much this time, and finally took Qin Taiping's hand with his hand, saying that he had to cut off a chicken head and burn the yellow paper with others to worship as brothers.

Fortunately, they reacted in time, and then the drunken governor was carried back into the room.

As a result, as soon as he lay down on the bed, he didn't need to count three times, and Jia Liu lost his will in an instant, and slept straight until the second half of the night like a computer crash.

"Water, water."

After waking up, Jia Liu instinctively wanted to drink water, and his throat and eyes were dry.

"Your Excellency, you're awake!"

When the soldiers guarding outside heard the movement, they quickly pushed the door in and handed over a bowl of warm boiled water.

After a few sips, a bowl of water went into the stomach.

Taking a long breath, when he learned that it was already the second half of the night, Jia Liu couldn't help but shake his head, asked someone to bring hot water to wash his face, walked out of the National Treasure Building with his hands in his hands, looked up at the starry sky, and smelled the faint smell of the sea breeze blowing.

After about half an hour, Jia Liu felt that his mental state had recovered, so he asked his second brother-in-law Gao Delu to come over.

At the same time, let people take him a few days to formulate the "Zhili Industrial Park Planning Map", and explain it to the second brother-in-law one by one from the construction of the park, road facilities, living facilities, logistics facilities, etc.

The second brother-in-law's family is in business, and he helped his father take care of the store when he was a child, and he has the natural sensitivity and careful observation of businessmen, and he has worked in Tianjin for a few months, and the existing facilities in the park are implemented by him, and the workers are also recruited by him everywhere, so after listening to the explanation of the brother-in-law, in addition to not understanding some terms, he basically understands what kind of existence the brother-in-law said about the industrial park.

"There is no problem with anything else, as long as the money is enough, you can get it out, the problem is the raw materials."

Gao Delu told his brother-in-law that if he wants the iron production rate of the steel mill to increase, the raw material ore must be held in his hands, but now half of the main iron ore in Zhili is in the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and half is monopolized by local tyrants, so if he wants to buy ore, he can only buy it at a high price, so the cost is greatly increased.

"From the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I'll figure it out. For the other iron ores, you send people to talk to the owners of those mines, if it is best to sell them to us, if you don't sell them."

Jia Liu didn't say what to do if he didn't sell, because there was no need to say it.

He is the governor of Zhili, if he can't even help the local tyrants, he might as well go to the mountains to fight guerrillas.

But then he said that there was not a foreign priest who engaged in surveying and mapping called Jiang Youren, and this person could be arranged to lead a team to conduct surveys in the Tangshan area, where the mineral resources are relatively rich, and the construction of a large iron mine there can be started to ensure the supply of ore in the park.

The second brother-in-law made a note of it, and arranged it when he turned around.

Jia Liu also told his second brother-in-law that he planned to open the Beiyang Trade Yamen in Tianjin Port, and that the second brother-in-law would be the second brother-in-law, hoping that the second brother-in-law would make use of the Gao family's influence in the business circles in Beijing to bring more businessmen to Tianjin to do maritime trade business, and strive to do this part of the maritime trade this year.

This matter is not difficult, the difficulty is who the goods are sold to.

Jia Liu thought for a moment, asked someone to wake up the bolt, and then asked the bolt where the Western-speaking generals he invited in the capital were.

Zhu Zhu said: "According to the young master's orders, they are all placed in Tianjin City, and if the young master wants to see them, Ming'er will ask someone to bring them." ”

Jia Liu nodded, and then told the second brother-in-law and Zhu Zhu that he wanted to set up a Western trade mission, that is, to organize a group of people to go to Western countries to investigate, and at the same time to establish diplomatic relations with Western countries on behalf of the Qing Dynasty, in addition to purchasing various industrial equipment in Western countries, hiring technicians at a large cost, and collecting books.

"The point is that I'm going to buy a steam engine."

Jia Liu said that the ultimate goal was that he needed a prototype of a steam engine.

Because the steam engine is not only widely used in the mining industry, but also in smelting, textile, machine building and other industries.

The problem is that this thing may be the same as a national treasure, and I don't know if the British are willing to sell it.
