Chapter 683 Environment for Industrial Development
Xu Wei established the Mechanical University to cultivate scientists and high-level technical workers, but not to cultivate bureaucrats. To a certain extent, it is even more difficult to get into the Mechanical University!
At the same time, what happened to Wang Peng made Xu Wei think for a long time. As a senior craftsman in Daqian, Wang Peng had a monthly salary of more than 100,000 yuan, but he actually wanted to become a small official with a monthly salary of only 1,000 yuan. Obviously, in this era, the official standard has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. .
Xu Wei could only take a step back and give political status to the craftsman grades he divided according to officials. For example, a master craftsman is called an academician, and his political status is equivalent to that of the six ministers. A senior craftsman is called a doctor, and his political status is equivalent to that of a 2,000-stone prefect. Mid-level craftsmen have the political status of county magistrates, while low-level craftsmen have the same status as scholars. In this way, there will never be any master-level craftsmen who want to be a petty official.
Of course, this is just Xu Wei's idea, and he needs to discuss it with Daqian's senior management if he wants to improve it.
Xu Wei now regrets most why he used the names of low-level and senior craftsmen in order to facilitate learning the levels in the game. If he had used the names of academicians and doctors, high-level technical talents like Wang Peng would not be able to use them. I want to become a petty official!
In order to get Niu Gui's attention, Xu Wei said to him seriously: "If Da Qian wants to get out of the chaotic times of the Han Dynasty, he must develop industry, and to develop industry, he must cultivate industrialized talents. Now it is easy for us Da Qian to create some bureaucrats." , but it is very difficult to train hundreds of master-level craftsmen, and this mechanical university is the place to train master craftsmen!"
"When you are in power, your subordinates must attach great importance to this matter. But when is the power, when will such an exam be scheduled?" Niu Gui then became serious. Because of Xu Wei's relationship, everyone in Daqian attaches great importance to craftsmen, and the status of senior craftsmen is even equal to that of senior craftsmen. To officials, this is obviously a signal to continue to strengthen the status of workers.
Xu Wei thought of the college entrance examination in later generations and said: "Let's set it in mid-June. The content of the exam will be the content of our major in advanced mathematics, Chinese, and physics!"
In recent years, relying on Xu Wei's memories, he has written some content about Tianchao Middle School in later generations, which has become the content for Daqian students to study. For people of this era, much of this knowledge is top-notch and can be used for exams. enough!
After discussing the exam, Niu Gui said to Xu Wei: "During the time when I was in power, many officials in Jidu were talking about Crab Island, which caused many bad effects!"
Xu Wei asked strangely: "What happened to Crab Island? Cao Cao wants to recall his men?"
Niu Guidao: "Last time, Liu He and the others did not go to Cao Cao's Crab Island, but Chen Aihua and the others found that Cao Cao was not restless on the Crab Island. Cao Cao spent huge manpower and material resources to build a city called Luojing, which was obviously unwilling to accept them. The big man’s failure!”
But Xu Wei said with a smile: "Cao Cao has been demoted to Crab Island, and they are not allowed to copy a city to leave a thought. What can Cao Cao do if he is not willing to fail? How can he turn the world upside down!"
Niu Gui worriedly said: "They are not worried about Cao Cao's rebellion, but they are interested in the Crab Island developed by Cao Cao. These people think that you were too kind when you were in power. You didn't let Cao Cao go, but gave Cao Cao an island as big as several counties." Give it to him, but few of our great heroes are treated like Cao Cao!"
Hearing this, Xu Wei was silent for a while. What he was worried about finally came to light. Obviously, compared with the officials who were big officials, there were still many people who wanted to divide the country into feudal states. In a sense, this was even Xu Wei's expected.
How can the corruption of the feudal era be so easy to get rid of? Even in the later dynasties, there are still many people who are proud of their status as royal relatives. A prince's live broadcast can attract millions of traffic, let alone this era. I'm afraid many people regard themselves as the emperor as the ruler!
People who think like this are obviously not like-minded comrades with Xu Wei. If they continue to accumulate dissatisfaction in their hearts, sooner or later they will become the opposite of Xu Wei, and killing heroes indiscriminately is not something Xu Wei is willing to do. If they had taken the initiative to leave Daqian and establish a feudal country, no one would have said that Xu Weiniao had gone into hiding!
Moreover, if these people leave, they will definitely take away a group of people who think the same way. This can be regarded as the 2.0 version of expelling those who are obsessed with the feudal system. After expulsion by force and the temptation of enfeoffment, the feudal influence in the hinterland of the Central Plains will drop to the lowest level in thousands of years. To an extent, such an environment is more conducive to the development of industry!
Xu Wei now wants to keep the industrial era from budding to development, and at least become a small sapling that can survive independently. What will follow is the surging trend of industrialization that will overwhelm the feudal system around the world.
This can be said to be a good thing for both parties. They got what they wanted. Xu Wei solved the feudal influence within Daqian and expanded the scope of Daqian's civilization and influence.
So Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "The islands we have discovered in Daqian are as numerous as stars. If anyone really has the idea of opening up a family business for the people of Daqian, I support it. The court can also support their idea. I have this attitude." You can also tell them that they don't need to be jealous of Cao Cao. As long as they endure the hardship, they can tell the court if they like the island!"
Niu Gui said cautiously: "Don't you really blame them for being too greedy when they are in power?"
Xu Wei smiled and said: "I can give Cao Cao a crab island, how can my brothers still be stingy? But I hope they don't just watch Cao Cao enjoy, but don't see where Cao Cao suffers."
Niu Gui was relieved when he saw that Xu Wei had no dissatisfaction. Then he told Chen Aihua and the others what Xu Wei meant.
These people also breathed a sigh of relief. They were also worried that Xu Wei would reject their idea. They did not dare to confront Xu Wei. But now that Xu Wei has agreed to their behavior, their biggest hidden danger has been solved, and no one will say that they have betrayed. Great work.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then they quickly became excited. The temptation to establish a country was huge for them. Now they only hope that the place where they build the country will be a wealthy land.
But Niu Gui still warned them: "You all know how dangerous it is to open up wasteland. Even if Bao Xin has the support of Da Qian, thousands of people still die every year. You have to be prepared to occupy the island. This is risking your life." spell!"
But these people said nonchalantly: "Back when we fought with the big men, we were risking our lives. The mortality rate was less than 1%. If there was any danger, if we did encounter it, it would be our own fate! "
Obviously, for this group of proud soldiers who have been fighting for decades, this death does not scare them! Instead, they are now in a dilemma about how to choose the fiefdom to occupy.
Daqian's pace of exploring the outside world has not stopped over the years. Most of the islands in the South China Sea have been marked. However, due to population reasons, very few islands have been actually explored. Even when looking at the map, Jidu officials can only see These islands have a rough shape, but they know nothing about the specialties inside or what the environment is like!
Li Aimin and many officials who wanted to establish their own country gathered together to look at the map of the South China Sea.
Li Aimin said: "It's useless to just look at the map like this. We still need to send people to explore the specialties on these islands. Only then can we start!"
Now that they want to build their own country, they must be cautious. If they choose a desert island with no special products, they will really have to endure hardship for the rest of their lives. Then they will really be asking for it.
Chen Aihua nodded and said: "Under a heavy reward, there must be brave men. We should first recruit sailors, build a fleet, send spies, and find a wealthy island. It would be best if it can be like the Spice Island!"
People like Chen Aihua and others are considered to be the founding heroes of the People's Republic of China. They enjoy the meritorious subsidies. Coupled with their investments over the years, each of them has a net worth of millions, so they are not short of money!
But Li Aimin shook his head and said: "Islands like Spice Island have long been discovered by Fan Xian's navy. Where can we still have a share? It is enough that we can find some ordinary specialty islands. You can't be too greedy as a person. We have been given enough!”
At this time, Wu Bing, who was serving in the navy, said: "In fact, we can join forces to occupy a larger island and concentrate our efforts to get things done!"
Then he whispered: "I remember the governor said that there is the largest copper mine in the world on Luzon Island. The governor also sent people to look for it, but Luzon Island is too big. The people sent by the governor searched for a long time but found nothing. But I believe what the ruling party said. If we concentrate all our efforts on Luzon and find the copper mine that the ruling party said, then the country we build will not lack funds for development!"
These words made everyone's eyes light up. In this era, copper is money. Even with the emergence of artillery, the value of copper has become more important and has become an important strategic resource!
Li Aimin said: "Then let's focus on exploring Luzon Island first. If we find the copper mine, we will occupy it!"
Others agree!
The words were divided into two parts. After Xu Wei gave Yang Feng another order to negotiate peace with Liu Bei, Yang Feng felt relieved. During this period, Guan Hai in Jingnan repeatedly sent troops to attack Jiaozhou, but the terrain in Jiaozhou was worse than that in Hanzhong. It was very difficult to transport grain and grass. As long as Liu Bei and his army occupied dangerous positions for defense, Guan Hai could not break the Han army's position. Every time they ran out of grain and grass, they returned without success.
After experiencing several such wars, Yang Feng no longer wanted to invest resources in attacking Jiaozhou. He finally figured out that if he wanted to attack Jiaozhou, the best way was to attack from the sea, Wuling Trail, even if it was the First Emperor's 500,000 It is difficult to defeat a large army. Jingnan does not have such a large army, and Yang Feng does not want to pay such a high price. With so many resources, in Changsha County, wouldn't it be more cost-effective for Nan County to drain the swamps and build farms?
So after Yang Feng received Xu Wei's order, he sent Xia Houlan from Jizhou as an envoy to discuss peace with Jiaozhou and Liu Bei!
After receiving the order, Xia Houlan came to Cangwu County in Jiaozhou, the headquarters of Liu Bei's army.
Liu Bei also paid great attention to the envoy sent by Da Qian. Chief Shi Yuan Ji personally led people to welcome him!
"How does Lei Gong plan to negotiate peace?" Zhang Fei asked first.
Before Da Qian's envoy arrived in Jiaozhou, Liu Bei and the others had already discussed it. Even the most optimistic people on Liu Bei's side did not think that they could survive by hiding in Jiaozhou, and Liu Bei and the others were not willing to hide in Jiaozhou and become rich, but they wanted to To revive Dahan, Daqian's strength is too strong. They can't be the opponent of Daqian's army.
They thought that the best way to make peace with Lei Gong was to leave Jiaozhou to them and let them surrender and become princes or the like. After all, it was not worth the gain for Da Qian to occupy this rotten land in Jiaozhou.
Otherwise, they would be driven out of the Han Dynasty's original territory, just like other noble families in the Han Dynasty, supporting them to expand their territories in new places. This is what Da Qian has been doing in the past few years. Lei Gong is very fond of the land. The obsession is even greater than his hatred for the wealthy nobles! For them, staying in Jiaozhou is the best. If not, getting some materials from Daqian and building another country overseas can only be their only way out. .
"We in power don't want to kill everyone, so we have this peace negotiation, and the conditions are very simple. You give up Jiaozhou and go to places other than Daqian. You can re-establish a new Han Dynasty or dominate one side. In your hands The soldiers and supplies can be taken away, and our cadres can also help you provide weapons and food to help you gain a foothold in the new place!" Xia Houlan said.
After hearing that this was the only plan, Yuan Ji and other civil servants were relatively calm. After all, this was not beyond their expectations.
But Liu Bei found it difficult to accept it and said: "The Han Dynasty has not yet been destroyed. This is the land of the Han Dynasty! We will not hand over Jiaozhou."
But Xia Houlan sneered: "It's not that we don't have the power to destroy your power, it's not even too difficult. It's difficult to attack Jiaozhou from land, but it's extremely easy from the sea. I'll attack the hinterland of Jiaozhou with the navy." , what are you using to resist, and we have also heard that General Liu has offended the local powerful in Jiaozhou. They are probably more willing to cooperate with us to deal with you, an outsider. If we bribe the powerful in Jiaozhou, Liu Da How long does the general think he can withstand such an internal and external attack?"
You should feel lucky when Da Qian comes to Jiaozhou this time. If Jiaozhou is not remote, the resources to attack Jiaozhou are enough to improve the lives of millions of people. This allows you to negotiate peace conditions. If you don't agree, I will I can only speak with battleships!"
Yuan Ji felt nervous and immediately took Liu Bei's hand and said to Xiahou Lan: "Please ask the envoy to let us discuss for a while!"
Xia Houlan nodded in agreement, but still said domineeringly: "We in power only made this suggestion. If you don't accept it, you will have no choice but to be wiped out by my army, and then the big man will really be dead.
At this time, Zhao Yun also pulled his fellow countryman and said: "Bo Ren, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Come and tell me about the situation in your hometown in Jizhou!"
Then Xia Houlan was dragged away by Zhao Yun!
After Xia Houlan left, Liu Bei couldn't help being angry. He pulled out the Yangtze River and cut his desk in two. He said: "It's too much to bully others. The battle has not yet been fought. Lei Gong has already seen that we are defeated!"
Yuan Ji reminded: "General, you are now the only hope of the Han Dynasty. If we all die in Jiaozhou, the Han Dynasty will really be destroyed! Listening to Lei Gong, going overseas to build the Han Dynasty can be said to be our only way out! "
They have discussed this matter many times. Lei Gong is invincible. If the Han Dynasty wants to continue, they can only escape to a place outside the Han Dynasty to avoid the pursuit of Da Qian's army. During this time, Yuan Ji has been sending personnel to When Nanzhong inquired about the situation, he felt extremely lucky. There were also some small countries in Nanzhong, and even many prosperous countries. When Emperor Ming sent people to recruit monks in Tianzhu, they were all discovered. It can be said that they are not lacking. retreat.
