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

Chapter 276 Xinqin Film and Television City

Daming now has three large hospitals.

They are the First Affiliated Hospital of Guozijian, formerly known as the Royal Lumber Factory Health Center, located in Fengdu;

Located in New Qinhuangdao, Baozhitang Royal Medical Center; (Since there is no such thing as western medicine in Ming Dynasty, there are naturally no so-called traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, national medical centers, and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine hospitals)

And the Naval General Hospital on New Caofeidian Island.

Among them, the real administrative head of Baozhitang has always been Li Fuming.

Back then, when Baozhitang opened in Port Angeles, Li Fuming was in charge of the overall situation as the adopted son of the genius doctor Li Chunfa, and created a great reputation together with the two old genius doctors Xiongfengshan and Wu Renji.

His one-handed Sansu Dafa has left countless lives in Angeles City.

Later, the Imperial College opened a medical specialty, and Li Fuming was not willing to be a Sansu doctor who knew what was happening, but he didn't know why.

This is actually nothing unusual.

When the college entrance examination was just resumed and college students were re-enrolled in the third class, there were many barefoot doctors who had practiced medicine for several years or even more than ten years in the medical school. (In fact, Barefoot Doctor is considered a good doctor. The hospital where Shaomai practiced in the past had two directors, one was a carpenter and the other was a blacksmith...)

All in all, with the recovery of the new Qinhuangdao, Baozhitang has also undergone further development, and currently has three two-storey small buildings: Li Chunfa Building, Xiongfengshan Building, and Wurenji Building.

But now, student Sha Jingfang is lying in the inpatient department on the second floor of Wurenji Building, staring blankly at the ceiling.

tuk tuk-

With a short knock on the door, the door of the ward was pushed open.

A short, stocky figure walked in, holding a half-empty fruit basket in his hand.

"Brother Sha, you have suffered!"

Shi Dingzhong, who felt sorry for him and even had some sympathy, put the fruit basket on the low table beside the sick bed.

When Li Fuming personally went to the operating table to perform the circumcision operation on Sha Jingfang, Shi Dingzhong was watching from the sidelines.

As a military student who aspires to become a soldier, observing various surgical operations is very helpful for personal growth.

Taking advantage of the holidays before, Shi Dingzhong observed many operations such as debridement and suture, wisdom tooth extraction, and internal fixation of fractures at Li Fuming's side.

But the viewing experience this time is undoubtedly different, and it makes people shiver.

……

With the blessing of antibiotics, Shajingfang has almost recovered.

He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the few fruits in the fruit basket, feeling a little dazed.

With such a big fruit basket, just these two crooked melons and dates?

Well, crooked melon split jujube is biased.

Sha Jingfang picked up a bright red Fuji apple, bit it down, and his mouth was full of juice.

In later generations, Washington State, where Fengdu and Xinjin sit, has an annual output of 54 billion pounds of apples, making it the largest apple producing area in the United States.

Next is California, but only at 9 million pounds.

It can be said that the current actual control area of ​​Ming Dynasty is very suitable for growing apples, and Zhu Fugui bought high-quality seedlings from later generations to plant them two years ago in order to eat fruits as soon as possible.

The Fuji series of apples is a hybrid of Kunimitsu apples from California, USA, and Shogun apples from Japan.

Considering that Mt. Fuji is one of the traditional beauties of Ming Dynasty, the recovery of Fusang Island, the trial of Tokugawa and Xiaoming are also in full swing planning, Zhu Fugui did not change the name of this apple.

Eating the sweet and delicious Fuji apples, Sha Jingfang couldn't help asking: "Dingzhong, why are you the only one visiting me? Where's Lao Li? Where's Ivana? Didn't that guy also come to Xinqin?"

"Oh, you said them!"

Shi Dingzhong spread his hands, and said, "Brother Fuming suddenly had an operation, Ivana's words... She originally said that she would come to see you, but on the way, she heard that Long Live Lord is coming to Xinqin to film a movie, so she went to visit the set."

Looking down at the empty fruit basket, there were still a few scattered petals in the fruit basket.

Sha Jingfang knew where his fruits and flowers had gone.

Shaking his head, he asked, "Long live also came to Xinqin? And will you still be filming?"

He already knew what kind of virtue Ivana is, so there is no surprise, but Long Live God is filming, this is big news!

"Go, let's go and have a look too!"

Sha Jingfang carefully climbed off the bed, pulled Shi Dingzhong up, and limped out.

……

The reason why the filming location of "National Hero Zhu Chenggong" was chosen in New Qinhuangdao is because it is close to the sea and it is more convenient to shoot naval battle scenes, and it is naturally because there are no military facilities here.

The two ports of Xinjin and Xinji are the most important military ports for defending the capital. They are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they are important military places.

But the new Qinhuangdao, which is hanging out alone, has much less military value in comparison, and the Navy did not do much business here.

This is naturally more suitable for filming.

After all, foreigners must be indispensable in the filming of Guo Xingye. Even if they are progressive white people, it is not convenient for them to film in Xinjin.

It is precisely because of this, coupled with the fact that Xinqin is closer to the industrial area in the northwest of Tenglong Mountain, that the trade here is even more prosperous than that of Xinjin Port.

Although the foreigners talk about the invasion of barbarians, there is no such thing as inferior Chinese products, but there are more and more businessmen who come to Xinqin to import Ming-made watches, Ming-made clothes, and even smuggle Ming-made Rising Sun cars at high prices. .

The so-called smuggling here is not smuggling out of customs from Daming, but smuggling into Europe.

In fact, Zhu Fugui is very encouraging the export of civilian vehicles to earn foreign exchange.

With the development of the times, the arbitrage space of 4 times the silver price in Ming Dynasty will inevitably shrink.

Moreover, with the increase in the size of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Fugui imported a large amount of silver from later generations to use in this era, which will rapidly accelerate this trend.

So foreign exchange is still useful.

Now except for the Far East which is on the silver standard, most of the world has entered the era of the gold standard.

Foreign exchange is the real deal gold.

Unlike the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in later generations, what was exchanged for countless labor and sweat may be just waste paper printed by a gangster with full horsepower.

Therefore, the imperial court encourages the behavior of earning foreign exchange through export.

As for whether civilian diesel engines will accelerate the technological level of the Western world and cause the so-called marginal utility, this is probably unavoidable.

Among civilian engines, the largest one is a diesel engine with 18 horsepower and 13 kilowatts.

This kind of engine is already extremely advanced in this era, and if it can be imitated successfully, it will be a great technological breakthrough.

Of course, without black technology such as bearings and pneumatic tires, the great powers are doomed not to be able to imitate Rising Sun cars with the same performance.

But by analogy, they might be able to figure out a more powerful diesel engine for other purposes.

In short, it is inevitable for Ming to develop science and technology, resulting in a small amount of technology diffusion, unless it is completely closed to the outside world.

It's like in "Civilization 5", as long as one civilization points out a certain technology, the research points needed for the latecomers to develop a unified technology will be shortened.

If two civilizations establish trade routes, the one with the backward technology will also get a small amount of technology points from the one with the advanced technology.

Or, a country with less developed technology can quickly obtain a certain technology of an advanced country through commercial espionage.

The so-called crossing the river by feeling the eagle sauce is just like this.

Chapter 277 The Weird Relationship Between Bai Xiaer and Zhu Fugui

Daming was destined to be the one who was groped across the river in this life, so Zhu Fugui attached great importance to preventing the outflow of core technology from the very beginning.

Such as military-grade diesel engines, marine-grade turbine water-tube steam engines, high-power boiler machines, hydroelectric generators above 200 kilowatts, and a series of new coal-iron joint venture equipment invented by the Ministry of Industry.

These are important weapons of the country and are closely monitored by the security department of Jinyiwei.

As for the heavy equipment mentioned above, in New Qinhuangdao, there is none.

Therefore, the freedom of trade in this place is naturally much higher.

What Bai Xia'er saw through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows was such a lively place with the style of Quanxia in the past.

The so-called "movie audition" was far more difficult than Bai Xia'er imagined. Even though Yin Li urged her to arrive at this [Fugui Films New Qin Branch Center] in the morning, Bai Xia'er was slightly surprised by the long line. .

Today is May 5st, Bai Xiaer was sent by Xinqin by Muxiu's Yin Li driving his brother's new car.

As a younger sister, Yin Li wanted to show this fairy-like newcomer how rich and young he was.

It's a pity that her little thoughts are destined to go to waste.

beck - beck -

Suddenly, a pebble falling on the window interrupted Bai Xia'er's thoughts.

A young daughter of a foreigner with a high nose and deep eyes, not beautiful, skinny, with freckles all over her face.

Through the window, with blue eyes, she looked at Bai Xia'er nervously.

"Little sister, what's the matter?"

Bai Xia'er recalled Yin Li's actions just now, and tried to open the window.

"You...do you have Juka?"

To Bai Xia'er's surprise, this little foreign girl could speak Chinese, and she had a Fujian flavor.

"Juka?"

Bai Xia'er frowned, and took out a scarlet card from her bosom.

This card was given to her by the Naturalization Officer two days ago after she had completed all the political reviews and swore allegiance to His Majesty the Ming Emperor in the name of her ancestors.

Bai Xia'er's identity information was marked on the card, and a one-inch black and white photo was pasted on it.

The material used in the card, called "composite resin", is said to have an absolute anti-counterfeiting effect, and even the Germans, who are famous for counterfeiting and selling counterfeit goods, cannot imitate it.

"Is this what you said?"

Bai Xia'er shook the card.

"Yes, this is it..."

The little girl's eyes were full of envy.

Zhuka, representing the status of a full-fledged citizen of the Ming Dynasty, is more noble than a green card with temporary residency.

As the Colombian Dominion that first came into contact with the Ming Dynasty and started private trade, the people in Gastown are second only to the Grand Duchy of Seattle in their familiarity with the Ming Dynasty.

If, in the eyes of the aristocrats, these black-haired and black-eyed yellow-skinned monkeys are scourges, and the Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of Zhu Fugui, a tyrant who eats people, then for the poorest poor, the life of Ming citizens is like a dream.

You know, these days, Mr. Yang has to come to the Qing Dynasty to become a master.

Staying in Europe, or places like Canada, the lives of these bottom-level white people are not much better than beggars.

In a moderate dictatorship like Ming Dynasty under the leadership of a big left-wing government, the lives of the people at the bottom are quite guaranteed.

Thanks to the technological scissors gap and the still-maintainable silver price profit, Daming has established basic citizen welfare guarantees. Each laborer only needs to work 6.5 days a week and only 10 hours a day.

When encountering various festivals, there are 1 to 3 days of Muxiu, which can be said to be quite humane.

Not to mention, Daming has the best municipal planning in the world, far cleaner and more decent than other cities in the Vancouver area.

Moreover, after two consecutive years of bumper harvests, the domestic famine problem was completely solved, and the food prices in Ming Dynasty were also lower.

Xinqin, as a late Ming city, is full of new projects and opportunities.

As a result, more and more white people came to Xinqin to seek livelihood or even beg. Jin Yiwei had to repatriate these guys in Russian style several times.

"Dear Madam, can you provide a job for hard-working Gillian? Don't worry, I have a labor certificate!"

The little Caucasian girl took out a piece of flannelette from the dirty padded jacket, inside which was carefully wrapped a certificate, as if it was her most important treasure.

[Daming Empire foreign labor certificate:

The grant allows Gillian Sidibe, a citizen of the Commonwealth of Nations, to engage in tertiary industry positions such as human services, tourism and catering in the New Qinhuangdao District, valid for one year.

June 6, the second year of Dewu in Ming Dynasty. 】

The certificate bears the seal of the Ministry of Household Affairs of Ming Dynasty and the quarantine certificate issued by the Health Commission.

There are not many such labor certificates, and they can only be obtained with a certain probability after going through strict political review, health quarantine, and passing the Chinese language test.

Of course, there is an unwritten rule that it is easier for foreign women to obtain labor visas than men.

After all, no matter how hard the court tried, the ratio of men to women in Ming Dynasty was still not normal.
