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

In fact, based on 5 Ming Yuan per month and 60 Ming Yuan per year, the absolute amount of this income is not high in Europe today.

At present, the monthly salary of an ordinary male worker in the UK is about 3 pounds, equivalent to 12 Ming Yuan, equivalent to 3000 RMB in later generations.

Of course, this is just a nominal salary.

Considering the intensity of labor and the purchasing power of money, the people of Ming Dynasty, including the people of the Imperial Guard of Wa Island, can now live better than those disposable labor animals in the Birmingham factory.

However, this also led to the fact that Daming really had no advantage compared with later generations in terms of labor costs.

Moreover, the two magic weapons of China's manufacturing industry in later generations, the advantages of industrial clusters and infrastructure advantages, did not exist in Daming.

Speaking of the poor infrastructure of Vietnam, Bangladesh, Cambodia and other countries, it is compared with rabbits, and it is still much better than Daming.

Zhu Fugui is a hammer rabbit, at most a bald man, and his comparative advantage in time and space has been defeated.

Fortunately, these old equipment are not very expensive, and it is also very good to produce other things after transformation.

For example, in the Franco-Prussian War, the Pecs SS uniforms of the Prussian army were made by the Royal Garment Factory in Fengdu.

Factory production, there will inevitably be pollution.

And sewage treatment equipment...

For this, Zhu Fugui can only say that the most difficult era will soon pass, there will be sewage treatment equipment, and there will be clear water and green mountains in Daming.

But Zhu Fugui felt it was difficult, but the people of Daming did not feel it.

Small smoke spraying black smoke, this is the most proud scene of the people of Ming Dynasty.

The roaring sound of the machine is much better than any cuckoo lark.

For a long time, Zhu Fugui's far-sighted problems were not real problems.

And the health damage caused by a little bit of pollution is far from being able to match the level of economic development and the increase in average life expectancy brought about by the improvement of medical and health care.

According to statistics from the Health and Health Commission of the Ministry of Rites, the average life expectancy in Ming Dynasty has reached 57.7 years, an increase of 25 years.

This is already equivalent to the level of India in the eighties and 90s.

It can be described as very advanced, 110 years ahead of the world.

The substantial increase in life expectancy is mainly due to the substantial reduction in neonatal mortality.

Daming now has a population of about 2000 million (excluding Washima Duhufu, Luzon Duhufu, and Hawaii Xuanweisi), a female population of about 800 million, and women of childbearing age about 750 million.

The total fertility rate is about 6.0.

That is, a school-age woman will give birth to about 6 children in her lifetime.

If the birth time is 20 years, it is estimated that about 200 million newborns will be born in Ming Dynasty every year.

This is Daming's precious wealth, and Zhu Fugui has invested a lot of money in neonatal medical care.

It is many times higher than investing in environmental protection.

It's a high return on investment.

All in all, if today's Ming Dynasty is transplanted to later generations in parallel, it will probably be able to call Burkina Faso and Guinea-Bissau brothers and sisters. It is less coquettish than Uganda, Laos, Congo, and Syria, and it will not be a problem to completely abuse Somalia and Mozambique.

From this point of view, it is reasonable that they cannot compete with Asian powers such as Vietnam, Cambodia, and Bangladesh in the division of labor in time and space.

Chapter 522 Prepare to Celebrate Peace in Advance

Of course, re-entering the comfort zone, Zhu Fugui was not without trouble after returning to Fengdu.

The most troublesome thing is naturally how to introduce Bai Xia'er to Yin Susu and the others.

Although Bai Xia'er and Yin Susu's sister called out as soon as they met, but Zhu Fugui always felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird.

For this reason, Zhu Fugui stayed in the Marshal's Mansion for several nights, resolutely refused to go home, and adopted ostrich tactics.

In the lonely night, fortunately, there are still friends on the other side of the ocean thinking about me.

That man was the King of Prussia, younger brother of the future Kaiser Wilhelm.

Brother William didn't seem to know what the time difference was, and he sent a telegram in the middle of the night.

It turned out he was in big trouble.

Somehow, just half a month ago, the cavalry unit of the French Foreign Mercenary Corps suddenly became more powerful.

The Berbers seem to have mastered the weak link in the armor of the Prussian "Mole" tanks, and they dealt great damage through stabbing mines.

We are now in the fourth month of the Franco-Prussian War.

The Prussian army had occupied Alsace-Lorraine, had broken through the Champagne-Ardennes mine belt, and the vanguard was approaching Paris.

At such a juncture, an accident suddenly occurred, which made William I very angry.

He asked Marshal Moltke how long it would take for the German warriors to tear open the barbed wire outside Paris with their blood if there were no tanks.

The answer William I received was 10 months and the lives of 30 young people.

This made King William I gasp.

Today's Prussia is not the future German Empire that can endure millions of casualties.

William I, who had never experienced trenches, barbed wire, and machine gun warfare, could not imagine casualties on such a scale.

You know, during the Napoleonic Wars that lasted for more than ten years, Prussia lost only 40 or [-] soldiers!

Could it be that in order to win Paris, do you have to go through another battle?

If you can use the lives of 30 Prussian boys in exchange for being crowned emperor at the Palace of Versailles, it would be acceptable.

I'm afraid that if it is delayed, it will change.

Once the shit stirrer comes, it's hard to say how it will end.

William I believed in the judgment of the old Moltke, and the professionalism of the old Moltke never let him down.

In the final analysis, it is the change in the form of warfare that makes tanks important.

And the culprit that makes tanks so important...

The guy who invented barbed wire tactics is really an old Jew in Paris with a white flag-he is so wicked!

Of course William I did not understand this allegory, but it did not prevent him from greeting the eighteen generations of the Ming ancestors in his heart.

The most exasperating thing was that after the greeting, he had to politely send a telegram to say hello to Zhu Fugui.

I have to say that the Germans do have a way of engaging in machinery.

Shanzhai technology is also as strong as ever.

Using Ming's tractor chassis, Prussian engineers have tried to produce completely German tanks.

It's a pity, how can the quality of German cars compare with Ming cars?

In fact, the Prussians themselves have no confidence in German manufacturing.

Made in Germany, or German made in this era is synonymous with fake and shoddy.

Not only are industrial products shoddy, but even food safety, which is a matter of human life, is also full of bad marks.

In 1878, Bismarck, the "iron chancellor" of the German Empire, ordered his subordinates to conduct a survey. The report showed that businessmen would add barite, gypsum and chalk to flour to increase its weight.

In some areas, stores sell "egg noodles" that are actually yellowish when they've been brushed with picric acid or urine. In a market survey in Berlin in 1890, it was found that 24% of the food tested was adulterated.

Against such a background, the Prussians soon discovered that if they wanted to manufacture a tank that could be used in actual combat and was as fast as the wind, they still had to use the chassis of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, William I had to call to discuss, hoping to increase the supply.

At present, Daming supplies 25 chassis to Prussia every month, and each chassis costs 3500 pounds, which is equivalent to about 350 million yuan in later generations.

Compared with the tanks of tens of millions of dollars in later generations, it seems very cheap, but this is completely the difference between the Hassan rocket and the Long March [-].

For Prussia, the price of 3500 pounds per piece is by no means a small amount.

It will cost a huge sum of 100 pounds to form a tank brigade of 35 tanks, which is equivalent to the cost of a 6000-ton main ironclad ship.

Of course, in Prussia, from William I to the engineers of the Rhein Machinery Factory, no one questioned the price of the Ming-made chassis, and they all felt that it was worth the money.

This isn't just a seller's market issue.

It is the exquisite mechanical processing technology of the people of the Ming Dynasty, from metallurgical forging to detail processing, which shows unparalleled craftsmanship and innovative spirit.

The spirit of innovation is not bad. As a big copycat country, Prussia can make it its own in minutes.

But with this level of craftsmanship, there is really no way to fake it.

The same style, the same construction, the same bearings, well-made Ming-made products are durable, while knock-off German products fail or even break within minutes.

It is no wonder that German products are synonymous with rough manufacturing.

Regarding the imitation tanks produced by the Rhine Arsenal, Moltke believed that none of them should be driven to the front line. These tanks are only suitable for use as real tractors in the farmland.

If Zhu Fugui heard this sentence, he would be depressed for a long time.

Because it took Daming a full year to develop the tractor himself, while the Prussians only spent 1 months.

This is naturally not that the Chinese are inferior to the Germans, but that in this era, the industrial foundations of China and Prussia are really different.

Fortunately, these gaps have been smoothed out.

With the full establishment of the secondary and higher education systems in Ming Dynasty, and the continuous supply of high-level skilled workers and engineers for Daming, Zhu Fugui no longer has to envy the western industrial base.

My Ming Dynasty can’t beat Bangladesh, and Vietnam, Cambodia (later generations), can’t you beat Prussia?

Faced with the request of brother William's brother to double the monthly order to 50 yuan, Zhu Fugui readily agreed.

Money is not a bastard.

It's a pity that France is seriously injured after all, and there are still serious tears in the country. I'm afraid it can't withstand the iron hooves of Prussia.

One pot, two meals, offshore balance, Zhu Fugui found that the British guy does have merit.

It's a pity that Faji doesn't live up to it!

But having said that, Mingpu's second alliance was unbreakable, and Zhu Fugui felt that he should be happy for Brother William's victory.

It is foreseeable that the world situation will reach a short-term stable stage when the German language resounds in Paris next year, and the Ming Dynasty's elegant words resound in Tedihua and Kulun.

It just so happens that next year will be the seventh year of Dewu, the last year in the 1860s, and it has been four years since the Ming Federation football match in the third year of Dewu.

In the past four years, football has blossomed everywhere in Ming Dynasty, Europe and Latin America.

This sport, which can stimulate the primitive hunting instinct of human beings and is the closest to war, quickly became popular all over the world without any official promotion.

As the undisputed birthplace of classical football and modern football (rules), it is time for Daming to hold a real World Cup.

This will bring a lot of tourism income and a lot of cultural value to Daming.

And it's also to celebrate world peace!

Emperor Zhu Fugui said that he likes peace the most.

Ming Dynasty will lead by example, assume the responsibility of a major country in the region (referring to half the earth), and lead the people of the world into the next 10 years full of peace and flowers.
