Chapter 278: The Difference Between Liuqiu Island and the Great Song Dynasty
The copper instruments in the Liuqiu Military Band were all made by Wang Defa's family and craftsmen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He thought that since the method of the army and the workshop was completely different from that of the Great Song Dynasty, it should be more different in appearance.
Let the characteristics of the Great Song Dynasty be more "distinctive------
They soon organized a luxurious and solemn guard of honor, a loud military band------ especially the honor guard uniform inlaid with gold wire rope, when the members of the honor guard sang the Liuqiu military song in unison, they were completely different from the appearance of the Great Song Dynasty turtle generals!
In the Great Song Dynasty system, civilian official uniforms will always be more beautiful than military uniforms; However, in the official uniforms of Liuqiu, the officers are dressed in gold and silver----- while the civilian officials are only uniform gray cotton tops and trousers.
The Great Song Dynasty valued the craftsmen with light martial arts, so Liuqiu Island was just the opposite.
On the island of Liuqiu, the income of officers is indeed higher than that of ordinary people, and even the income of craftsmen is also high.
There is a subtle difference here, as the salaries and benefits of the liuqiu officers and civil servants are, of course, paid entirely by the Zhang, while the wages of the craftsmen are largely determined by the employers.
Except for the so-called "public technicians" hired by the Zhangdao owners, the wages of other craftsmen, except for the minimum wage requirements, Zhang did not care about the rest at all.
Of course, there are many craftsmen who want the same high wages as public technicians, but they need to be able to surpass such people in terms of technology, and they must be able to find employers to pay such money.
The employers wanted to find a craftsman for the minimum wage, but he had to be able to find out that there was nothing to restrict his personal freedom on the island.
Zhang and his friends have always deeply believed that only freedom can be the source of the creative spirit, otherwise it can only be a beautiful and deceptive slogan.
Of course, everyone on the island must abide by the rules of the island, and this is the unchanging bottom line.
Guarding the huge market of the Great Song Dynasty, the goods of Liuqiu Island have never been sold, so in the "Liuqiu Times" publicly issued in the Great Song Dynasty, the recruitment of craftsmen or helpers has never stopped.
Moreover, the wages and other conditions of recruitment were written out one by one in those widely advertised cities.
In this way, all the self-confident and capable craftsmen or helpers ran to Liuqiu Island, but fortunately, the transportation between the two sides of the strait was extremely convenient at this time.
Previously, Zhang Guoan's sailing flights, which they set up to lose money and maintain fixed and regular sailing flights, have finally played a huge role.
The passenger and cargo sea vessels between the two sides of the strait have been connected into a single coin, except for the special weather and sea conditions, which are basically constant.
As long as you inquire carefully, you can always take a sea ship to Liuqiu Island------ whether it is a merchant cargo ship or a special passenger ship, it is extremely cheap.
Of course, this kind of exchange of passengers and goods is also related to the acquiescence of the Great Song Dynasty government, and even the covert participation.
Naturally, the purpose of the Great Song Dynasty government does not need to be stated, and the "Liuqiu Times" never makes irresponsible remarks about the affairs of the Great Song government, and the two sides seem to have been stuck in a state of hot and cold politics.
The enthusiasm for people-to-people exchanges between the two sides does not seem to have affected the top level.
The Great Song Times, similar to an official newspaper, has far surpassed the previous Minsheng Daily since its appearance.
In fact, the "Great Song Times" imitated the operation method of the "Liuqiu Times" from the beginning, but it did not bother to earn any widely advertised fees at the same time.
The funds provided to them by the Great Song Dynasty government are very sufficient, and if they let Yang Youxing, the editor-in-chief, see it, they will be red-eyed.
In fact, the main reason is that Pingzhang Jia Yidao often waved a large pen, and casually gave them a large amount of funds.
Pingzhang Jia Rudao has an innate emphasis on the public opinion propaganda system, and he has always believed:
What is Voice of the People? Whoever leaves the words on the paper and in the book, so that others can see them and pass them on, that is the voice of the people!
Therefore, he was keen on the cause of public opinion propaganda, and Mingli vigorously supported the "Great Song Times" designated by the officials of the Great Song Dynasty; Secretly still maintains control of the newspaper.
Judging from the news and news in these two newspapers, the Great Song Dynasty is not a small good at the moment, but a great good, and it is getting better day by day, and the whole world is not as good as the Great Song Dynasty.
That's probably what it means.
In the "Great Song Times", they don't even report any other barbarian things at all, except for a little negative news about Liuqiu Island, so they don't have the idle time of "Liuqiu Times".
The purpose of the "Great Song Times" is very clear, it is for the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, for the Zhao family, only the things that the official family of the Great Song Dynasty likes to read and like for others to read will be published in the newspaper.
Therefore, of course, the news report that the navy returned from overseas will not appear in the "Great Song Times", unless the navy has sunk or been defeated, but unfortunately it has not been waited.
The people of the Great Song Dynasty saw the deeds of the Liuqiu Navy from the "Liuqiu Times", and also saw the grand occasion of welcoming the return of the navy.
At present, everyone in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty mainly reads the "Great Song Times", which contains various instructions and holy intentions of the officials, and more importantly, the promotion and change of officials.
The people of the Great Song Dynasty mainly read the "Liuqiu Times", which mainly has interesting anecdotes from all over the world, and more importantly, various situations that may make people rich.
The upper class and the lower class of society now seem to be torn, but they get along for a while.
The Great Song Dynasty government doesn't need to block any bad information, as long as everyone is busy earning some money, naturally no one will say anything to them------ perhaps, the people in this time and space are all in too low a realm at the moment.
The report on the welcome ceremony of the Liuqiu Navy made every reader who read the newspaper attentively unforgettable.
I heard that the sound of salutes was more than the sound of firecrackers during the festival, and the owner and wife of Zhang Island and the main personnel of Liuqiu Island all stood to greet them, and there were 20,000 people singing and laughing on the pier.
Some people have rumored that the warband, which has made a name for itself overseas, has heard that it has destroyed countless small barbarian countries and won a lot of war reparations------ and some people have argued that the Liuqiu Navy will never participate in private plunder, they just robbed the treasury of the hostile country!
Rumor has it that they have seized many islands overseas, and the spices on the islands can be transported by truck!
It was also argued that it was not an island, but a naval base, which could be opened to maritime merchants to dock and use, just to help transport some supplies!
Overseas is the land of spices, overseas is the land of gold and gemstones------- such rumors are in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.
Of course, although the "Great Song Times" does not report such a thing, there will still be people in the upper echelons of the Great Song Dynasty who will notice this.
The commander of the Imperial Army, Fa Ke, carefully studied the situation of the Liuqiu Navy.
He belonged to the army and was directly subordinate to the Great Song Dynasty, but he did not ignore the problem of the navy, because he also had a small imperial navy in his hands.
In fact, as long as there is something new or big in Liuqiu Island, he will definitely think about it.
The Great Song Dynasty can be said to have the largest navy in the world------ but their fighting style is also only in line with the characteristics of this era, and they basically rely on human lives to fill in.
They had also learned about construction on Liuqiu Island, ship types, weapons, and they were all equipped with some of them.
However, the Great Song Navy could not have the same achievements as the Liuqiu Navy.
