Lord of Ming Dynasty

"I know, the recent research is on the telegraph system for wireless transmission of messages, do you know about the telegraph system?" He asked Charidin in a low voice while holding the wine bottle.

This Charlie Ding knows that the Huaxia Empire is now in full swing in the construction and upgrading of telegraph lines. He discovered this thing ten years ago. The resulting benefit cannot be explained by general economic theory.

Let’s just say that he has been doing business in the Chinese Empire for ten years, and the convenience he has obtained in this is quite high. A commodity has a price in the south. Prepare the goods and pull them to the north in a month, but you find that the price there may have risen, which is not much different from your purchase price and transportation costs. Many people are carrying this communication inconvenience.

However, with the telegraph system, the railway system, and the sea transportation system, a telegram is sent, the price is known, and the goods are prepared for a few days, and it takes only half a month to pull it by the railway, and then he can earn at least half of the freight. difference in price.

However, telegrams now have a fixed place, and there are no small places yet. You have to go to a big county or prefecture, to the Daotai Yamen, and if you go, you may not be able to send it in time, and you have to wait, because there are so many people sending it. Now the merchants of the Huaxia Empire are still the government, and some high-ranking officials still need to send reports, which is much faster than writing letters.

The waiting time is two or three days. Someone must be on duty near the telegraph room, and it takes two or three days for the telegram to be transferred on the road. This is the fastest. Some transfers take seven or eight days, which is not very convenient. In the beginning, the telegraph room was not open to the public, it only served the government, and it was only opened to the public in the past few years, but the actual effect was the slowness and waiting he mentioned.

Because the telegraph system mainly serves the government and the military, the lines that can be opened to ordinary people and businessmen are limited, only two or three, and now there are only five or six lines in the government. A small place is only a single line, and a slightly larger road They only have a dozen lines in Taiwan, and only Fucheng will open two lines for ordinary people, and Daotai City will open three lines, sometimes five at most.

Dedicated lines are for high officials, general lines are for yamen, special lines are for military, ordinary lines are for civilians, and commercial lines are for businessmen. The Chinese Empire is a little different. The good thing is that everything is very finely divided, and you can't cross the border.

Ordinary lines will never send you commercial messages, and private lines will never be used to send messages between yamen.

In the past few years, the wired telegraph system of the Huaxia Empire has become more and more popular. From one experimental line at the beginning to send messages alternately, to later two lines sent messages in parallel, until later a dozen lines were used alternately, standardized use, and development. Faster and faster, the telegraph signal is clearer and faster, benefiting merchants, but the cost is also high.

The Huaxia Empire did not say to open more lines, but to hang wires on the original poles along the line to expand the capacity. What they did more was to erect lines to the Governor's District without lines and expand the lines. These lines cost a lot of money. Disputes continued, and the Huaxia Empire spent ten years promoting and building.

Many places are still being erected, but they are all biased backcountry and some important passes, military garrison bases, and some mountain streams, mountain lines. The main consideration is that every place in the Chinese Empire should have lines, but they will not be repeated. Build a place that deviates from the line, and other places near the line that do not have counties or prefectures will be ignored.

These places can only communicate with primitive means such as fast horses and communications, or to communicate with the capital and other places, and use the nearest government office line where the line has been erected.

After a long time, he knew these disadvantages, but looking at the Huaxia Empire in the West or his country, he found it incredible that the Huaxia Empire was too powerful, so powerful that they could not understand it.

Because this means that the civilization of the Chinese Empire has developed faster and higher than theirs, and has risen to another level. Many Western scholars or scientists have come to the Chinese Empire to learn and communicate.

But what he could learn was what the Chinese Empire made public, and he couldn't learn Shen Yun, so the country asked him to get the updated results of the Chinese Empire as soon as possible.

So after he successfully introduced the railway system to the UK, he wanted to introduce the telegraph system to the UK to promote the development of the UK. It was dealt with, the house was confiscated, and the gifts he gave them were all deposited into the treasury by the Huaxia Empire.

The reason why the Chinese Empire does not move him is because Britain has brought at least tens of billions to hundreds of billions of commercial benefits to the Chinese Empire in the past few years, but as far as he understands, once he touches the most direct interests or secrets of the Chinese Empire, he may not survive. tomorrow.

The first thousand and 150 chapters four, the leaker should die

So he carefully approached the secrets of the Chinese Empire, and spent a year contacting this Dyson. Of course, he would approach and inquire about other places, but he would not be as careful as Dyson, because of his different identities. Dyson recently Drunkenness finally let him know the latest technological research results of the Chinese Empire.

This made him happy and surprised. The technology of the Chinese Empire has developed so fast, and some people in the UK have proposed such an idea, but now they are still going around in the cable telegraph. Many people do not understand the electrical principles inside, and the Chinese Empire The empire had already begun to develop wireless telegraphy, which surprised Charidine.

This strengthened his determination to get these research results. He is not a British patriot, but he knows that if he can get these, he will become a British rich man, a nobleman, and even be rewarded by His Majesty the King. A nobleman with a title.

Now he is also very rich, but his business kingdom is much larger than his assets. Most of the money in it is not his money, but belongs to nobles, businessmen, and some other investors. The assets he now owns are only 100 million pounds, and 100 million pounds is considered rich in the UK, but after he invested, his money is not too much, almost [-] pounds.

Although 1 pounds is an ordinary British person's spending for decades or even a lifetime, the British are still spending penny by penny. 1.05 guinea is equal to 21 pounds, and one pound is equal to 1 shillings. 12 shilling equals [-] pence.

1 penny is equal to the seven 80s of later generations in China. It is very valuable. One cent of China’s seven 80s can buy at least two pieces of ordinary candy, and one dime can buy ten pieces of candy or three to five sticks of fire. It's the kind of firecrackers that run into the sky with a slight stab, and 1 penny is equal to that kind of purchasing power.

A family can live on one pound or two or three pounds a month, and those who can save a few pounds or a dozen pounds in a few months are doing quite well, and it is not bad to have an annual income of one hundred pounds. , and his annual income in England was only a few thousand pounds, and he only accumulated 100 million pounds in the Chinese Empire in a few years. This was obtained by doing business in the Chinese Empire, so he stayed in the Chinese Empire all the time.

A group of three people, hiding and shimmering, walked on the country road, walking on the paved stones from time to time, and poured a layer of earth-lime glutinous rice cake and other local method cement on the stones.

This makes the road have the appearance of cement and the hardness of stones. Although it is not very beautiful, it is stable and firm when walking on a cart. The key is to accelerate the speed of pedestrians running on the road, which is far faster than Dirt roads are much faster and much cleaner than dirt roads, because Daming does not have cars that weigh dozens of tons like later generations. Even if there are carriages for transportation, they will definitely not exceed a few tons in weight. As far as the road is concerned, it is more than enough. This is the change that Zhang Qiang brought to this era.

It can't be said how advanced or advanced it is, but it is absolutely convenient.

And with the increase of R&D personnel, it is mainly because the Huaxia Army has added other industry exams on the basis of the imperial examinations, 360 lines, and there are exams for all walks of life. Low-level personnel can get a government-certified industry qualification certificate. With these certificates, you can engage in research in related industries, and sell the research results to the government, and the government pays a certain amount of money to buy the research results.

This is the qualification certificate for all people in the industry. It is an honor to have this certificate, just like a scholar who has been admitted to Tongsheng. In the village, you can also get the reception of the village head, the head of the security, or the head of the township, and let everyone look at you highly. In these low-level administrative positions, you can also get a good income and a basic monthly salary.

People in the village read a letter, recognize a character, or build something, find an authority to authenticate it, and they will come to you, or the price of what you come up with is higher than the price of other people who have not been authenticated. I have to find you when dealing with the government.

Zhang Huangyan walked all the way, passing through the countryside, and learned about these things through the mouth of the young guide who led the way.

Low-level certification does not require you to be literate or have read books, as long as you can get something in the industry and get government approval.

And can get the qualification to go to adult night school for free. If you graduate from the night school, that is to say, you know ten Arabic numerals and more than one hundred characters, you can take the qualification certification level two examination.

These exams are all focused on industry leaders. If you can speak clearly about farm work and record it with the help of others, and if you can understand it yourself, you will be able to obtain a second-level qualification certification.

These people were all requisitioned by the government to help solve problems such as going to the countryside to count the amount of farmland, how much it produces, how much iron can be smelted, how much iron can be hammered in a day, whether some things made by carpenters meet the standards set by the government, and help the government solve the problems of contact with people in these industries. Task.

Of course, these people do not need to receive wages. They will be paid when they are requisitioned.Promote Jin Lin to lead the 11th Field Brigade, Ma Sanli to lead the 12th Field Brigade, Du Ge to lead the 6rd Field Brigade, He Jin to lead the 13th Field Brigade, and the remaining Field Brigade No. 13 Field Brigade to be transferred to the southwest of Guangzhou. Ma Han took over the No.[-] field brigade, and then transferred Feng Wuyu's second field brigade to the southwest defense line, and Feng Wuyu followed to the southwest defense line to take charge of the work there.

Xuanyuan Longfei was transferred to Wuchang Mansion, and the Fifth Field Brigade still followed.

Ruan Jin took over Ma Weixing's [-]th Field Brigade and was stationed in Anqing Prefecture. The generals were changed, but the soldiers of the [-]th Field Brigade did not move, and the station did not move.

The Ninth Field Brigade did not move, and the commander was replaced by Bagyalu. The Third Cavalry Brigade was transferred to the central Jinhua Mansion, and Wei Wuji personally took charge of it.

Ma Weiren, the commander of the Ninth Field Brigade, went to take over the No.18 Field Brigade and stationed in Hanyang Prefecture.

The No.20 Sixth Field Brigade was transferred from the Hubei battlefield to defend the Southern Ming Army in Shaoguan, Guangdong.

When you want to go one step further, the government has launched a three-level qualification certification. These people must be able to speak well and be able to count and write. These people are generally veterans or businessmen's buddies, old officials in the government, or have been famous for a long time Some of them are directly recruited by the government and given to a clerk. These clerks spend more than half of their time working in the government, and they are called the low-level clerks of the government.

They have no possibility of being promoted to government servants, but they can assist the government in doing things, even put forward some good suggestions, and develop good things. The government will sell their suggestions and research and development at a high price. This is the government's achievements. The civil servants above have to rely on them if they want to be promoted to higher-level section officials.

The fourth level is usually those who have read books and have profound attainments in the industry. They also have the heart of being an official. Members can be promoted to official positions, and can be promoted to positions such as clerks, document offices, book books, etc., which are equivalent to the assistants of township heads and town heads.

You Haibo’s Department of Officials, Zhang Huangyan’s Department of Household Affairs, Li Guangdi’s Department of Education and Administration, Xiao Dazhuang’s Department of Punishment, Qian Bingdeng’s Ministry of Rites, Zhang Mingzhen’s Ministry of Agriculture, Zhu Panpan’s Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Li Guo’s Ministry of War, Wan Siyuan’s Ministry of Industry, Zhang Liang’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of People’s Affairs Huang Tao, Wei Wuji of the Ministry of National Defense, Du Ge of the Supervision Department, and Milin of the Military Intelligence Department, all the departments are fully equipped.

Chapter 150 and five strengthen the management of foreigners

Zhang Qiang took the Charlie Ding leak incident very seriously, and immediately asked the crown prince to handle the matter. As the head of the empire, Li Yuanyin was also very angry, and immediately ordered all places to strictly investigate foreigners, and ordered the supervision of army officials and the yamen directly under the government. Conduct strict investigations with merchant families, and divert merchant families. Those who commit crimes are immediately dismantled and exiled to Siberia.

The current population of Siberia has almost reached 5000 million. Due to the original management of Xuanyuan Longfei, East Siberia has a relatively large population and is close to the sea. Although the climate is colder than that of West Siberia, and the weather is unpredictable, the population is small. More, reaching as many as 600 million people.

Now the focus is on emigrating to Central and Western Siberia, especially the northeast, mountains, and primitive jungles, to develop the timber and forestry resources, medicinal materials, and fur resources there.

Where there are only a few 10 people, the rest of the population is concentrated in Lower Central West Siberia along the railway line, near Mongolia.

The population has reached more than 500 million people, while the total population of West Siberia and Central Siberia has reached 200 million people, and the other 200 million people live within a range of [-] to [-] kilometers from the left of the Ural defense line, relying on The railways and roads of the Ural defense line, military facilities, and camps survive, with a total length of [-] kilometers.

A group of three people, hiding and shimmering, walked on the country road, walking on the paved stones from time to time, and poured a layer of earth-lime glutinous rice cake and other local method cement on the stones.

This makes the road have the appearance of cement and the hardness of stones. Although it is not very beautiful, it is stable and firm when walking on a cart.
