But the problem is that these officials on Nanhai Island are a little special.
To put it simply, Nanhai Island has basically been a place of exile since its establishment in the Ming Dynasty.
In other words, most of the officials here were sent here by the imperial court because they made mistakes.
This kind of thing was very common in ancient times.
Here, the seventh-rank county magistrate may have been the fourth-rank magistrate of a certain place before, or the co-prefect of the fifth rank.
Of course, these officials were not entirely demoted.
Some officials are old and have never been promoted. The Ministry of Civil Affairs took advantage of the last opportunity to send them to Nanhai Island and promoted them to a higher level. When they retire and return to their hometowns in the future, they will have more face and honor.
.
Others were unable to find a good position when filling vacancies and were eager to become officials, so they had no choice but to be sent to this remote place.
Well, these local officials are already lucky. Most of the officials who are really unlucky are directly exiled here as prisoners. The local government is also responsible for supervising each other and preventing them from escaping.
The Senate has been discussing for six hours the surrender of these local officials.
No way, because the system of the Senate was relatively strict before, and more important motions were not allowed to be delayed for too long.
To put it bluntly, no one is allowed to leave the Senate Hall until the resolution comes to a conclusion.
This is very uncomfortable.
By the way, although the food in the cafeteria exclusively for the Senate Hall tastes good, everyone is often busy discussing it when the food is ready. By the time you get hungry, the food has already gone cold.
Heat it up again?
Not to mention whether the food tastes good after being reheated, but in order to ensure the safety of the elders during the dinner, the chef in the cafeteria is also a time-traveling elder.
I have worked so hard to prepare it for you, but you have to wait until it is cold before eating it, otherwise the ghost will continue to serve you.
At present, the opinions of the Senate are mainly divided into three types.
One is to spend thousands of gold to buy horse bones and accept these Nanming officials to save time and energy in taking over the remaining areas of Nanhai Island.
The second reason is that due to the general incompetence and corruption and bribery of Nanming officials, Nanming officials must not be allowed to infiltrate into the Xinghai Kingdom's administrative system, otherwise the naturalized citizens will soon follow suit, causing the Xinghai Kingdom to quickly
Collapse.
The third is to ignore them, take over the local area, and then slowly review the affairs of these Nanming officials. Those who have done evil and have a bad reputation will be directly sent to work in the Shilu Iron Mine. Those with stronger abilities and better reputations will be slowly considered.
Transformation.
Well, each of these three opinions has its own considerations and thoughts, and each opinion has its own supporters. This has caused a significant increase in the time for hearing the bill.
However, after the meeting lasted until 10 o'clock in the evening, many elders finally couldn't stand it anymore, and the resolution finally came to fruition.
More than 60% of the senators in the Senate agreed to accept the surrender of these Nanming officials. However, after Xinghai Kingdom took over these places, these Nanming officials had to undergo further training and retraining, and they could not bring the Nanming bureaucracy into Xinghai Kingdom.
As for the misdeeds of Nanming officials in the past, they do not need to be investigated, but if they make mistakes again after joining the ranks of naturalized citizens, they must be severely punished.
This conclusion is not surprising. After all, although most of the Nanming officials only knew eight-legged essay, they were also fought from thousands of troops!
If nothing else, just being a scholar is enough to eliminate most scholars.
Not to mention the previous candidates and Jinshi.
You must know that in many places where literary culture is not prosperous, no Jinshi can be produced in more than ten years.
In other words, these Nanming officials are not good at anything else, at least their memory is beyond ordinary people, and there are many capable people among them.
If these Nanming officials can be absorbed, it will be of great benefit to the development of Xinghai Kingdom.
Besides, another benefit of accepting these Nanming officials is to attract scholars to enter the system of Xinghai Kingdom.
You must know that among the current naturalized citizens of Xinghai Kingdom, there are very few scholars.
After all, most of these scholars look down on thieves, and even if they are poor, they are not willing to join thieves!
Under such circumstances, if Xinghai Kingdom wants to cultivate some talents, it can only start from children.
But the problem is that even if a lot of effort is invested in education, it takes time for people to grow up.
As a result, the development of Xinghai Kingdom will undoubtedly be restricted.
If we could catch all the scholars on Nanhai Island, among other things, at least we would have a lot more staff in each department, so that even drafting documents would not require the elders to do it themselves.
No way, even though Xinghai Kingdom has opened many night school training centers and carried out illiteracy eradication activities, it is still difficult to reverse the situation that the majority of the naturalized people are illiterate in a short period of time.
Not to mention that after the Xinghai State Senate passed the motion to admit Nanming officials, it began to send special personnel to communicate and investigate Nanming officials in various places. It is only said that Fang Xiaoyue finally built the first generator after half a month of experiments.
prototype.
No way, he hadn't had much contact with generators before, so he had to go to the library at the dock to learn a lot of knowledge again.
However, with his current level of intelligence, his learning speed is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Of course, this is also because of the benefits of already having machine tools.
Otherwise, just making the stator, rotor, bearings and other parts would be troublesome.
The first generator prototype was only a trial type, with a power of only 5KW and a size about the size of a sofa.
Well, it is almost like the backup generator used by general township departments in later generations during power outages. The power generated can barely supply five or six computers and dozens of light bulbs.
When Fang Xiaoyue personally pulled the rope and started the generator, a huge roar immediately spread throughout the entire experimental area.
Unlike the previous industrial group that only conducted research experiments in a warehouse, the current Ministry of Industry has moved out of the dock area due to technical personnel and the dangers of many experiments, and has rebuilt a new area between the edge of the dock area and the chemical plant.
Experimental area.
In this way, it can not only ensure that the safety of personnel in the dock area will not be affected when an accident occurs in the experiment, but also allow the nearby garrison to ensure the safety of the experimental area.
After all, the experimental area is now considered the birthplace of the most advanced technology in the Star Sea Kingdom, so there are a lot of experimental prototypes and technical information here. Although the indigenous people of this era may not be able to understand even if they get some experimental prototypes and technical information, but
Some things are also hard to say.
After all, at this time, it can be said to be the early stage of the rise of Western technology.
A large number of well-known scientists are emerging.
For example, the mathematician, physicist, and thinker Blaise Pascal, who died in 1662, well, just by looking at the surname Pascal, you can roughly know how powerful this master was.
