I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

Daming has already accepted 5 new immigrants, and the routine is very familiar.

In the process of absorbing new immigrants time and time again, the Imperial Naturalization Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs has also developed a set of strict procedures and a set of strong organizations.

However, this is the first time that nearly 1 people have entered Daming at once. These populations are both bonuses and hidden dangers.

After all, these are living people, not mindless machines.

A month ago, some of them might have been farmers facing the loess, some might be street vendors, and some might be Taiping soldiers who had just laid down their weapons.

Of course, among these workers, there may also be a few heinous and evil people, such as gangsters, blood-handed butchers, who may hide among them and cannot be screened out at all.

Whether the Ming officials are willing or not, objectively, they can only give them a new starting point in life.

Fortunately, such people are only a minority.

After all, the Chinese are not a nation with a high crime rate. Although there will be various demon kings in troubled times, in the final analysis, most of the people are relatively innocent.

So Zhu Fugui wasn't worried at all that his Daming would become a stinking place of exile for criminals like Australia.

After medical examination, sterilization, registration, voluntary reporting, and thorough assessment, what awaits these new immigrants will be a three-week "imperial education".

To be honest, when Zhu Fugui saw the "imperial people's education" created by his subordinates, his feelings were quite complicated, and he always felt that a small group of hygienic beards had grown among his people.

But this emperor is not that emperor, Daming is orthodox!

However, in the eyes of many obstinate workers, Zhu Fugui, the Ming emperor, is actually a big rebel, so it is necessary to start with the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and systematically educate these workers to make them realize what is China and what is barbarian. What is Zhengshuo and what is a thief who steals the country, and let them know what kind of great change they are in that has not been seen in 3000 years.

Make meritorious deeds, princes and generals, as long as you work hard, you can get it.

But before fighting for their future, they still had to obediently stay in the Huangmin Education College. They received course education in the morning, and were led by teachers to farmland or factories in the afternoon to learn engineering and agriculture, labor reform, and held complaint meetings and literacy night classes in the evening.

Chapter 175

At the beginning, some laborers still didn't understand, and murmured that the peasants are themselves, so what can they learn?

But when they arrived at the Xinjin Farm, seeing the endless green corn seedlings and the huge agricultural machinery shuttling among them, these self-proclaimed farmers were surprised and speechless.

It turns out that wanting to be a farmer of the Ming Emperor is not an easy thing, and it really needs to be learned.

The court does not need to pay their wages for those who study engineering and agriculture, which is naturally squeezing their labor.

But all this is actually equivalent to simple pre-job training.

After all, it is impossible for Ming Dynasty to have such a high proportion of soldiers all the time. More than half of these new immigrants will eventually take up production positions. The current training is a craft for making a living in the future.

On the other hand, studying engineering and farming unexpectedly strengthened the confidence of these "abandoned people from the Qing Dynasty" in the Ming Dynasty.

It is difficult for future generations like Zhu Fugui to understand the shock and peace of mind of a farmer in the late Qing Dynasty when he saw a piece of farmland stretching as far as the eye can see.

Yes, Chinese orthodoxy, racial wars, these are not as reassuring as that large piece of fertile land.

Now, they are skinny and foolish people who don't know the day and night. When they are full and fat, they will naturally become the most steadfast fighters defending China with abundant martial arts.

Of course, three weeks is actually a bit short, and it is difficult to achieve a complete change in people's ideas.

However, the production and construction of Daming was scrambling for the day and night, so they had to speed up the progress so that these workers could quickly participate in the work and be further transformed in their production and life in the future.

The most spectacular one is probably the braid cutting meeting at the graduation ceremony of Huangmin Education.

Nearly 1 people cut off their braids at the same time. This scene is really grand.

In the earliest days, these hairs still needed to be dug and buried, but recently Zhu Fugui has discovered a new way to make money.

Such things as hair are actually commodities, and the price is not low.

Like cotton and wool, in terms of the system's evaluation, hair is a primary product, and there is no consumption of cultural value.

And the quality of the braids confiscated by Daming is very good.

Although the oil is a bit oily, there are more head lice and some of them are even withered and split.

But these can be dealt with, anyway, Zhu Fugui doesn't need to do it himself.

The key is that these hairs are not permed or dyed, long in length and heavy in weight. They are very popular with purchasers, and they can be regarded as contributing a small amount to the treasury of Daming.

……

The busy April has passed like this.

This month is undoubtedly more representative of the transformation of the fourth Ming Empire than the new year that has just passed.

Therefore, Zhu Fugui felt that it was necessary to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth work summary for this stage in order to guide the implementation of policies in the next stage.

On March 3, the third enlarged meeting of the first Ming cabinet was held in the State Banquet Hall on the second floor of Fugui Palace in Fengdu.

Participants included senior officials of rank six or above from various provinces and ministries of Ming Dynasty, as well as three worker representatives.

At the meeting, Ming Emperor Zhu Fugui took the lead in making quarterly summaries, setting the tone for this high-spirited meeting.

His Majesty Zhu Fugui pointed out that during this month, Daming recuperated, consolidated the achievements of domestic production and construction, and laid a solid foundation for the grand goal of ensuring the imperial GDP growth of 10000% this year.

As of March 3, the second year of Dewu, the population of Ming Dynasty had reached 31, including more than 7000 government officials (including science, education, culture and health), more than 3500 army personnel, more than 13000 navy personnel (transport ships are also in the navy sequence), and 2000 royal guards. There are more than 2000 people in the Production and Construction Corps and more than 600 workers.

According to the calculation of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the land area directly controlled by Ming Dynasty is 2.25 square kilometers, reaching the area of ​​two African hegemons, Gambia, or slightly smaller than one of Israel.

According to Tang Sangui, Da Ming easily achieved what the Jews could not do for more than ten centuries. Da Ming is really great!

His Majesty Zhu Fugui also pointed out that the Ming Dynasty not only had a vast territory but also abundant resources.

The proven mineral resources include coal, iron, silver, marble, etc. His Majesty Zhu Fugui even predicted that in the northeast of Daming, there are still extremely rich lead-zinc mines waiting to be developed.

All in all, as long as these minerals are developed, Daming will be able to make the country rich and the people strong, and enjoy the beautiful gray air.

In addition to the land territory, Ming also established the Arctic scientific research station in the Aleutian Islands. Based on this, he delineated a 110-segment line, occupying 480 million square kilometers of territorial waters, surpassing the old imperialist powers such as Germany and the Ottomans. It ranks as the seventh ocean power in the world after Britain, the United States, Russia, France and other countries.

It can be said that in terms of map expansion, Zhu Fugui can say bluntly that he has achieved the goal of being better than blue, and Chang Kaishen can only do nothing.

These sea areas are rich in industrial and agricultural products such as naton fish, Dungeness crab, Canadian lobster, sea lions, seals, and whales.

The three 500-ton sea-going ships of Daming "Zhu Chenggong", "Li Dingguo" and "Zhang Huangyan" will be fully transformed into Daming scientific research and fishery administration ships to conduct long-term follow-up research and protective fishing of these marine resources. ("Li Dingguo" and "Zhang Huangyan" were renamed from the spoils of the first Ming-Russian War)

At the same time, Daming's domestic production also started in an orderly manner.

At present, the farming area in the Xinjin area of ​​Daming has reached 7.5 mu, and mechanized production has basically been realized.

In Fengdu High-tech Development Zone, timber factories, shipyards, cigarette factories, watch factories, flour mills, pig factories, and slaughterhouses have also been in stable production.

Among them, in the Daming Royal Shipyard, the two 1000-ton wooden steam-powered ships "Sincerity" and "Friendship", which are truly self-produced by Daming, are almost completed.

Just as the Liaoning and Shandong ships of the later generations did not use nuclear power, the first two ocean-going ships of the Ming Dynasty did not use diesel engines.

Firstly, Daming currently does not have the ability to extract oil and refine diesel, and there are no proven oil resources in the territory.

Second, the structure of the diesel engine is complicated, and the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty cannot yet reproduce it. Forcibly using it is not conducive to the development of the technology tree.

The two magic weapons of the pot camel machine and the gas machine are not suitable for use on such a large ship.

Therefore, "Sincerity Signal" and "Friendship" use water tube boilers.

This kind of boiler relies on the water flowing through the steel pipe to generate steam through combustion and heating. Its thermal efficiency is much higher than that of ordinary boilers. steam engine.

The blueprint in the hands of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty is naturally the final form of this steam power, full of horsepower.

In addition to the power source, the power transmission system of the two ships has also been improved.

Instead of the reciprocating machine model on other ships of the "Fu Yu class", they use steam turbines.

Steam turbines use steam to convert heat energy of steam into kinetic energy through nozzles, and then use high-speed steam to drive the rotor of the steam turbine to output mechanical energy. In theory, it can overcome the shortcomings of reciprocating steam engines such as low power, heavy weight, and high fuel consumption.

The Daming transport fleet completed its supplies three days ago, and returned to East Asia to buy people.

If the "Sincerity" and "Friendship" succeed in their trial voyages, they will join the Daming fleet on their next voyage and head to Shanghai.

The other transport ships in the fleet will be rotated into the dock for refurbishment and refurbishment to further improve performance.

It can be said that these two inconspicuous and even somewhat outdated steam engine wooden ships will open a new chapter in the shipbuilding industry of the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 176

On May 1864, 5, the concept of Labor Day did not yet exist.

As early as half a month ago, an article written by Zhu Fugui under the pseudonym of Zhong Sheng to the "New England Journal" about protecting labor rights and establishing May Day was also rejected.

This is one of the few manuscripts in the Zhongsheng series of editorials that was rejected, and the reason is self-evident.

Although the external propaganda suffered setbacks, this first ever festival belonging to the working people was established at the third enlarged cabinet meeting of the first term of the Ming Dynasty.

However, in this fire-like age, the laborers of Ming Dynasty decided to commemorate this festival with labor.

To put it simply, on May 5st, instead of resting, everyone worked overtime.

Moreover, all of this was not officially led by the imperial court, but organized by the three worker representatives who participated in the three enlarged cabinet meetings.

This was something Zhu Fugui did not expect.

Maybe it's still the old saying, there is no harm without comparison, and people don't worry about scarcity but inequality.

In this era, industrial workers in Europe and the United States are really living an inhuman life. The so-called 996 is really a great blessing for them.

But this kind of life is also the envy of the farmers and laborers in the Far East who are hungry.

Comparing them, in Daming, even being a slave doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

And as long as you have the nationality of Ming Dynasty, you can enjoy the prescribed Muxiu according to the law.

Specifically, the daily working hours are no more than 10 hours, and there are two days off every month. Traditional festivals such as Shangyuan, Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, Chongyang, and Mid-Autumn Festival each have one day off, and the Spring Festival has five days off. Birthday Mu rest three days.

Such working hours are of course still high, but they have basically reached the level of small factories in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions of later generations.

In this era of cannibalism, it is like the existence of Avalokitesvara and Mary who came into the world together.

There are many reasons why Daming was able to achieve all this.

First of all, it is naturally because Ming is and will be in the status quo of imperial training and military control for a long time.

Since Zhu Fugui established the country, his internal money and the Ming treasury have been completely integrated and cannot be distinguished.

You can even say that everything in this Great Ming was built by His Majesty Zhu Fugui himself. He is the only capitalist oligarch and giant landlord in the Great Ming.

So far, the ownership of almost all industries in Daming belongs to Zhu Fugui himself, and they are the real family. Ma Er, Mao Afu and others are just Zhu Fugui's professional managers, supervised by Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

In this way, at least when the country was still small, Zhu Fugui's industrial policies could be issued unimpeded, and there was basically no resistance.

Secondly, Ming's industry itself is subsidized by space-time trade, which has a strong competitive advantage, and it does not need to squeeze the labor output of workers to rise rapidly.

The American emperors of later generations actually had this kind of invisible subsidy, but it was not a subsidy for space-time trade, but the dollar hegemony derived from military hegemony, thus obtaining astronomical seigniorage subsidies.

However, this greedy country did not turn these subsidies into a boost to the real economy, but instead allowed them to become nourishment for Wall Street, further reducing the living space of the real economy and forming a vicious circle.

Of course, at least in this era, Wall Street is still a progressive force, and finance plays a positive role in promoting industry.

The last reason, which is also the most important, is that Daming itself is in a state of serious "outward scrolling".

The more scarce human resources, the more valuable human life is.

Every improvement in the welfare of industrial workers in the West is often followed by special events such as the Black Death and large-scale wars that lead to a reduction in the labor force.

There are even precedents where the population has plummeted due to the Black Death, and industrial workers have gained the right to negotiate and bargain, and wages have directly increased by [-] to [-] percent.

In later generations, East Asian countries have not escaped the fate of involution. On the one hand, it is because of the problem of the first-mover industries in Europe and the United States.

Just imagine, even if the future Greater China has a population of 20 billion, as long as they can obtain the land of the New World like the Europeans, the so-called involution will be healed without medicine.

In addition, in addition to the above objective factors, all this is also the result of Zhu Fugui's initiative.

As an emperor in the middle of the nineteenth century, Zhu Fugui must also consider the pulse of the times.

Although Zhu Fugui has never considered self-revolution, he even spent a lot of time researching the survival methods of monarchs in countries such as Britain, Thailand, Japan, Denmark, and Sweden.

But who can tell what will happen in the future, it is always right to prepare early.

As a super-capitalist, but put on a pair of pants with the working class, understand the king and call it an expert.

Zhu Fugui once again learned something from an unlucky thing, it is really kind.

On May 5st, there was another piece of good news. The Daming River Hydropower Project, which has attracted much attention from Zhu Fugui, was officially approved.

The [Daming Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Production Steering Committee Office], which was brilliant in April before, changed its brand and became the [Daming River Fugui Dam Project Steering Committee Office]. It was replaced by comrades from the Water and Power Bureau of the Electric Power Department of the Ministry of Industry.

Xinfeng's urban positioning is an industrial city, and the development of industry is inseparable from water and electricity, and a reliable hydropower station is essential.

Since last summer, Zhu Fugui has assigned related tasks to the Ministry of Industry.

However, hydropower stations are still completely new in this world. The first hydropower station in history will not be built until ten years later by the French.
