Palace Flower as Employment [Red Mansion]

Jia Qi was also helpless when all the censors at Yushitai opposed it.

In fact, since he ascended the throne today, people in this court have impeached him every now and then.

Of course, impeaching food, clothing, housing and transportation is definitely not enough.Of course, the salary cannot support Jia Qi's living expenses, but everyone knows that Jia Qi is one of the richest people in the country.Jia Qi spent his own money, which censor is full to impeach this?The only thing that can be impeached on this point is exceeding the system. Unfortunately, if Youruo came out of the palace, Jia Qi's family still has a few nuns who came out of the palace. With their guidance, Jia Qi is of course impossible to make mistakes.

As for mistakes in work, whether it is the South Seas, the Indian Ocean or the New World, all kinds of good news are being sent in a steady stream. To impeach Jia Qi for this kind of thing at this time is simply looking for trouble.

It's rare to come across something that can impeach Jia Qi, how can everyone let it go?

Jia Qi knew it himself, so he was not angry. Of course, he didn't need to be angry, because he knew that Chen Yushi, their old neighbor, had been promoted to the position of doctor of Lantai Temple, which was where Lin Ruhai once stayed. Location.Jia Qi believed that, with Chen Yushi's character and prudence, he should know the scale of this.

In fact, there are only a few people who are impeaching, and the Sixth Ministry and the Privy Council have no reaction at all. As for the People's House, they are not so much curious about whether this matter will be successful in the end, as they are more curious about Jia Qi's separation. How much money will be given to this son who plans to adopt him.

At the beginning, what the Lin family turned over to the national treasury was 800 million, and what Lin Daiyu inherited was only 400 million.

"Jia Zhiyuan is not short of money, so he must have 500 million yuan."

Mention this matter, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, whether it is a businessman or a commoner, they all say so.

As for those officials, they are even more curious about how much money Jia Qi has.Originally, when Jia She died, it was a good opportunity to confirm Jia Qi's property, but who told Jia She to separate his sons more than ten years ago?More than ten years ago, apart from his wife’s dowry, Jia Qi only had 100 million mu of land, and then various workshops built on this land.

But how many years have passed?Just after Jia Qi entered the cabinet, he got so much land for himself. With his ability, will his money be less?

When Jia Qi became the governor of Shanghai, when did the amount of silver in his hands decrease?The annual tax of Shanghai Prefecture is only 3000 to [-] million taels of silver!

This matter made Europa's envoys dizzy, and they hardly knew how to react.

Among the European envoys, the British envoys are undoubtedly the calmest and most rational group, because they have a calm and self-reliant leader.

Before the Opium War, the ancient empire of the Far East had always been the land ruled by the saint king in the hearts of Western countries.And now, they have lost the war again, so naturally they are more and more in awe of this land and this country.

Although it is said that the death of the three kings in the Wei Dynasty was not very good-looking, but this did not hinder the pilgrimage mentality of the European envoys.

When Prince Albert came last time, he was upset, and Jia Qi was very guarded against him and Britain, so he was locked in the courtyard of Honglu Temple, so Prince Albert never had this chance Get to know the country.

But this time, Britain lost the war. No, it should be said that the whole of Europa lost the war. Although Jia Qi’s wariness against Europa has not diminished, the upper echelons of the Wei Dynasty, including Honglu Temple, do not think that the countries of Europa will become Wei’s threat, plus Jia Qi’s filial piety at home in those two years, except for the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, under Jia Qi’s repeated exhortations, strictly guarded against Europa people (these two departments, including those under the Ministry of Industry The workshop originally did not allow ordinary people to approach, even if this person was a citizen of the Great Wei), so the European envoys could only hang around in the capital of the Great Wei.

After this swaying, everyone discovered the difference.

There are not many beggars on the streets of Dawei!

This aroused the strong interest of the European envoys, especially the French envoy Louis.

You must know that one of the important reasons why the French Revolution happened was that there were more and more beggars in Paris.When Louis XVI came to the throne, there were nearly 20 beggars in Paris, but after 20 years, this figure rose to 50.

But in Wei, there were not many beggars on the streets of this country!

The streets of Dawei are so wide, the shops are not only tall but also row upon row, in such a bustling city, there is not even a single beggar. While the envoys in Europe lamented the richness of the Far East and the ability of officials, they also began to lament the inaction of officials in their own country and incompetent.

The one who felt the deepest about this was naturally Prince Albert.

The prince himself took to the streets and asked questions to the people under the guidance of the interpreter provided by Honglu Temple.

Then, he heard Jia Qi's name again from the mouths of these people.

It turned out that a few years ago, before the capital was besieged, there were also many refugees in this city, that is, beggars in the Western population.However, when Jia Qi became a political adviser, he immediately targeted this phenomenon and added many institutions.Of course, in order to ensure that the money can be transferred to the people, Jia Qi also set up many rules, so that officials become supervisors rather than executors.At the same time, from time to time, there are spies and spies to investigate whether these officials have colluded with relevant people and swallowed related funds.

Not only Dawei's original Huimin Bureau and Cirentang ushered in a series of restructuring, but Jia Qi also set up many charitable institutions with his own money. These institutions are also subject to various supervisions.

It is because of such institutions that many widowed and lonely elderly people have a place to stay.

Abandoning the old, this is easily overlooked, and it is also a very common phenomenon. Even if Da Wei pays attention to filial piety, he can't stop such things.

Although there are many widowed and lonely old people who have some property in their hands, when they are old and can only lie in bed, the people who originally served them are very likely to take away their property and throw them in the garbage dump to wait. die.

Not only the widowed old people, but even those ordinary people, even the old people from the lower-level official families, in order not to burden their children and grandchildren, would go out of the house and abandon themselves.

Jia Qi gathered the "abandoned" old people here and recruited people to take care of them.Not only did it solve the problem of Dawei's city appearance, but it also allowed these old people to have at least a comfortable life without worrying about hunger.

Back then, Jia Qi paid attention to taking in those women and children. Now that they are old people, it can be said that except for the strong young men, Jia Qi has noticed everyone else.

Although there are still many imperfections in the relevant laws and regulations, it is only natural that the people have benefited.

Almost all the Europa envoys were stunned when they learned what Jia Qi had done for this country.

Jia Qi, Jia Qi, Jia Qi...

Almost every place in this country has the imprint of this man, and everything this man does is beneficial to this country.

Should we pray not for a wise king, but for a minister with outstanding ability?

The envoys of Europa were perplexed.The least bewildered among them was, without a doubt, the British Mission.

Prince Albert felt that he could do what Jia Qi could do.I am as eager to learn as Jia Qi, and I have also gained a good reputation in my youth. The other party has influence on the country, and I have the same influence on my wife and Britain.

Even Prince Albert's entourage said to Prince Albert: "His Royal Highness, Britain needs you. You can do it."

After seeing all kinds of things about Wei and hearing about all kinds of things about Jia Qi, the British missions all believed that it would not be a good thing for Britain to isolate Prince Albert from the affairs of the United Kingdom.

The negotiation started again. Of course, this time the negotiation with the Europa envoys was still at Honglu Temple, but the main subject of the negotiation was not the relevant officials of Honglu Temple, but Jia Qi.

For the European envoys, this is a good thing, but also a sad thing.Saying it is a good thing is because the other party's grade is high enough, which shows that Dawei attaches great importance to their affairs; saying it is a sad thing is because Jia Qi is not easy to fool.

Sure enough, Jia Qi said to the Europa envoys: "Wei decided to establish the Shipping Department of Malacca City. The relevant regulations are the same as those of the original Shanghai City Shipping Department. The silk, porcelain, tea, sugar and various spices of the Great Wei , will be transported to the Shipping Department of Malacca City. If you want to do business with Wei, you can go directly to the Shipping Department of Malacca City in the future."

Continuing to use Huzhou Prefecture as the main external port of the Great Wei will only put Lin Daiyu on the fire.

Who asked the Supreme Emperor to give Lin Daiyu the Huzhou Mansion as a fief?After the Empress Dowager became regent, Jia Qi, Lin Daiyu also wanted to return the Huzhou Mansion to the country, but they were declined by the Empress Dowager.Therefore, setting up a new port in Malacca is beneficial to Jia Qi and Lin Daiyu.

As soon as Jia Qi's voice fell, there was an exclamation immediately.

Louis stood up at the first moment, propping the table, almost leaning on the table, screaming: "Oh, my friend, isn't this true? What about the Spice Islands?"

Jia Qi said indifferently: "Since ancient times, the Spice Islands have been a vassal state of our Great Wei. Before these islands were almost harmed by you, even their royal families were killed. So the kings of these countries put their country Dedicated to our Great Wei, and those who can move to our Great Wei have moved here. That is to say, the current Nanyang is our Great Wei’s inland sea, and those spice islands are our Great Wei’s territory.”

All the envoys of Europa were dumbfounded.

But there was nothing they could do.

Although some of them were impulsive and even wanted to smash the chair in Jia Qi's face, they didn't dare to move at all.

Not only because of the soldiers around, but also because their navy can't beat the Wei Indian Ocean Navy.

Louis cried and said, "Oh, my lord, you are really cruel."

The Spanish ambassador also said: "Yes, my lord, this is not a negotiation, it is a notification."

Jia Qi said: "That's right, it's really just a notification. I remember, this is still your rule, as long as your ships can reach the place, the fist has the final say."

"Oh, my lord, don't remind me of the follies our fellow-citizens have done! Yes, please don't say that, we shall be overwhelmed."

"If you can't bear this kind of thing, then, won't you be able to bear the next thing even more?"

"what?"

"The United States. I remember that many years ago, when the United States fought a war of independence and wanted to break away from British colonial rule, the French nobles still went to help. Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, yes, what's wrong with America?"

Not only Louis, but even Prince Albert pricked up his ears.

Jia Qi said: "Many years ago, our country's soldiers discovered gold mines on the eastern continent, so the country recruited many people to open up wasteland there. As a result, just last year, the battle report was sent, saying that there were A country that claims to be the United States has matched us."

The European envoys were dumbfounded: "Does this mean that you are going to war with the United States?"

Jia Qi said: "It's not considered a war, it's just a small-scale force friction." After speaking, Jia Qi raised his head and smiled at the Europa envoys: "As you can see, next, our Great Wei It is necessary to devote time and energy to governing the South China Sea and the New World, so we can only rely on the natural location and importance of the Strait of Malacca to isolate you from the southern gate of our Great Wei."

The envoys of Europa are all stupid, and they don't even know that Jia Qi has left.

They hurried back to their rooms in Honglu Temple, and hurriedly wrote letters back to China, hoping that China would notice this as soon as possible.

However, their action was too late.

Although it only took two or three years, under Jia Qi's guidance, the Ministry of Industry got the telegram out.

Although it is bulky and has a lot of wires, it can be used.And also need a stand-alone generator.

Tianjin is the first city other than the Great Wei Jingshi to use telegraphs, and judging from the feedback, the effect is not bad.With many craftsmen and officials from the Ministry of Industry studying all night, with Jia Qi's financial support, as well as the definite government demand and the inclination of national policies, these telegraphs have been replaced by three generations in just two years!

From the initial nearly thirty wires, it became eight later, and then from eight to one.

All beginnings are hard.

This is especially true with this invention.

The electric light is a by-product of the process of the invention and improvement of the telegraph, and the telegraph also transitioned from the initial electrostatic telegraph to the electric telegraph, and finally became an electromagnetic telegraph.The code used is an improved code based on ancient Chinese pinyin, because ancient Chinese pinyin is often used in ancient music scores, so it is also called music score code.

Of course, these new technologies are kept secret, and it is impossible for Europa envoys to know about them.

When these Europa envoys left Wei and were still floating in the Indian Ocean, Datong installed telegraphs and generators.

Then there are the provincial capitals of the provinces, and then outside the customs. Dandong and Vladivostok installed generators earlier than other cities outside the customs.The last is Nanyang and the New World.

The use of telegraph greatly strengthened Wei's dominance over Nanyang and the New World.Before there was a telegraph, the officials of the Great Wei were worried that once there was a rebellion in Nanyang and the New World, they would have nothing to do.However, the appearance of the telegraph greatly shortened the distance between the Great Wei Jingshi and Nanyang and the New World, and the appearance and replacement of generators also prompted the appearance of electric lights.

When Jia Qi showed the installed electric lights to his relatives and friends in the small flower hall where he entertained guests, there was a burst of exclamation.

Electric lights are really much brighter than candles.

Moreover, these wires are all covered in special soft rubber tubes, and then fixed in hidden places in the room with wooden strips dug out of the groove, which greatly increases the safety.At the very least, the possibility of wires being chewed by mice is also greatly reduced.

When the generator appeared, it had caused panic among the censors. If Jia Qi hadn't tried his best to protect them, the technical officials of the Ministry of Industry, especially those headed by Dai Zi, would have lost their lives. When the electric lights appeared, Jia Qi said that thunder and lightning, like mountains, are gifts from God to Huaxia. The only difference is whether Huaxia has the ability to use these resources.

This statement immediately aroused widespread discussion in the country of Wei.

Of course, Jia Qi had to use Shaodi, because Shaodi was young and was at the age of curiosity about various things, so Jia Qi only aroused Shaodi's interest in a small way, so Shaodi accepted the matter.

As for the empress dowager, I have to say that the young empress dowager is a very courageous woman, and she firmly stood on Jia Qi's side.After talking with Jia Qi, knowing that the world could be changed in just 20 years, the Empress Dowager started her actions.

The Empress Dowager even let people say that Jia Qi and those technical officials from the Ministry of Industry are Lei Gong's subordinates and have the ability to control lightning. Of course, they are also willing to teach this method to the people, as long as the people strictly abide by the regulations.

I have to say that the electricity safety rules that Jia Qi brought from the funeral really worked.People quickly accepted this setting.

Although this kind of rumor would seem quite absurd after 50 years, at that time, these messages released by the empress dowager were of great benefit to the stability and smooth transition of Wei.

Because there is enough fear of thunder and lightning, the craftsmen of Wei Dynasty are very careful when installing electric wires and electric lights, and the common people are also very careful when using electric lights, and strictly abide by the safety rules.

This also promotes the promotion of electricity in disguise.

After Jia Qi, there are still a large number of government offices in the palace, and they all started to use electricity and lights one after another.Electric lights have subsequently entered the homes of thousands of people.

There was even a period of time when restaurants in Jingli used the pretense of installing electric lights to attract diners.

Unknowingly, the copper mines and iron mines in Dawei had already loosened their conditions.

Copper mines are needed for minting coins, while iron mines are needed for building railways and manufacturing various large machinery.

Of course, even because of the development needs of various electric power and other related technologies and equipment, there are only a very small number of large merchants and large workshops that can get involved in copper ore, iron ore and related smelting industries.

The workshop in the hands of Jia Qilin Daiyu is.Especially the production of electric wires is based on the wire-laying process. High-quality insulating rubber-wrapped wires and high-quality copper wires are important guarantees for the quality of electric wires. Jia Qi and Lin Daiyu, no, it should be said , the jewelry workshop of the Lin family, that is, the silk craft workshop, was immediately reborn under the demand of a large number of wires.

The Leisi Workshop was independent, specializing in the production of various copper wires. At the same time, drawing on the various experiences of the Dawei Cement Quality Inspection and Supervision Agency and the Huzhou Prefecture Shipbuilding Department in product classification management, the Linjia Leisi Workshop continued to A variety of high-quality copper wires are produced, which are then manufactured into electrical wires for various purposes.

The huge demand promoted the expansion of the workshop and the improvement of craftsmanship, and the silk workshop was soon renamed the copper wire workshop, and the number of craftsmen increased again and again, and the requirements for craftsmen also increased again and again.

With the secret support of Jia Qi, the copper wire workshop was the first to establish a special school to teach the apprentices below.

This model was quickly implemented in the workshops of Jia Qi, Lin Daiyu, and the Lin family. These one-year or two-year schools that were applied and organized by the workshops themselves became the earliest vocational technical schools. .

When these reports were sent to Jia Qi, Jia Qi started the first reform of Meng Xuetang in his hands.

He introduced the German education model in another time and space, and changed the educational system of the Mentorship School to four years. The first three years are basic education, and the second year is for assessment. Children who are gifted in the imperial examination and whose family status allows these children to pursue further studies in this field will of course continue to take the imperial examination, while the rest of the children will turn to basic education and training for craftsmen.

Soon after, Mengxuetang’s school was changed to a five-year school, because the children who came out of the four-year school were really too young to work on machines. Later, they felt that the basic education was only three years, and the foundation was not enough.

In the end, Meng Xuetang was changed to a seven-year system.Four years of basic education, after the basic education is the placement test, if you can take the imperial examination, if you are willing to take the imperial examination, and your family may support them to take the imperial examination, then continue to take the imperial examination. Walk the artisan's way.

When Meng Xuetang was fixed at the seven-year system, the Kingdom of Great Wei Craftsmen finally lived up to its name.

At the same time, because the cultural level of craftsmen has been greatly improved, various new scientific theories and practical techniques have emerged in an endless stream.

Based on this situation, Jia Qi finally threw out the patent office, began to centralize the management of these patents, and also started to create various scientific publications to facilitate the exchange and summary of their achievements by scientists and technicians from all over the world.

Great Wei, opened a new page.

The author has something to say: At this point, this article is over.

There are still two extra chapters, and it will be over in one release today and tomorrow.

The new Wen Qin Ji has been uploaded, and there are currently 12 chapters.Everyone is welcome to fatten up and lie flat for teasing.
