Chapter 347: Interlude 2
Mobile reading
Almost all the veterans in the entire Oriental Port are workaholics, and the non-overtime they once pursued in the old world has become an absolute luxury at this moment, not because the naturalized people in the new world are not enthusiastic about work, but because the naturalized people lack sufficient work experience and knowledge, and make clumsy mistakes when they need professional skills, and the more they work in the wrong direction, the greater the damage caused, so the veterans have to keep their jobs as much as possible. Problems encountered by naturalized employees in their work should be eliminated as soon as possible to avoid causing greater mistakes. At this moment, the medical department has repeatedly suggested that the veterans should pay more attention to rest and take care of their health through the propaganda department in the mobile phone push, and most of the veterans have worked 12 to 15 hours a day every day, and if it is a long time, it will inevitably seriously affect the physical health of the veterans.
Sun Xuezhan Yue of the Junction Science and Technology Department did not
The same is true of the veterans of the education department, whose job is to teach students literacy and basic mathematics, but this seemingly simple task is full of loopholes in practice. Although these naturalized people who are teachers are said to be the best among the students, they are all selected from those students who are generally poor, commonly known as the general of the dwarf, even if they are pulled out, the quality of these naturalized teachers is really like a seedling at the moment, and they dare not compliment. What professor pinyin runs and adjusts mathematics can't remember the ninety-nine multiplication formulas are quite good, the terrible thing is that some time ago, Jiang Yan found out that a "Gewu" teacher has been popularizing his own understanding of the round heaven and said, when she found out, the group of students were already convinced of this absolute fallacy, so she had to spend several days inviting several veteran teachers to re-popularize the astronomical theory of the planet to the students.
Although there are still quite a few good naturalized teachers in the education department, there are really a few who can unleash this kind of theory that they know only a little bit about, and this kind of behavior quickly caused an uproar within the Senate. Some of the patriarchs believed that those who seriously insulted the path of scientific development should be revoked of their naturalized status, or at least expelled from the teaching ranks, and several of the more radical patriarchs even called for a public trial and even burned these "infidels" in the Five Star Square. Although the remaining patriarchs did not want to kill these naturalized teachers, they also expressed their attitude and resolutely did not allow such a mixture to be mixed in the ranks of teachers and create trouble for the education of the next generation of naturalized people.
Of course, the Senate was not a hall of words, let alone a requisition, and it was naturally undesirable to kill these naturalized people who held "incorrect ideas", but it was absolutely impossible to leave them alone. Jiang Yan adopted a rather simple and crude method, first selecting these teachers who were resistant to the concept of the earth, then taking them to the port area to find the garrison marines, allowing them to board hot air balloons for reconnaissance and early warning, and then explain to them with a mast that slowly rises under the sea surface in the distance. You must know that many of these teachers have lived inland, let alone looking at the sea level, and have not even eaten much salt, so in their concept there is no mast rising from under the sea surface, so it is normal to be affected by the theory that the sky is round and the place is round. As the saying goes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing, and staring at the shadows of sails slowly rising from under the sea level in the distance, these naturalized people were frightened one by one, thinking that these "scientists" of the Senate had used a trick, but they couldn't help but believe it when they saw it. After secretly running back to the beach to observe secretly several times, and by the way asked the fishermen and the residents of the sea, they completely believed that the earth under their feet was round, but since then Jiang Yan began to find that these naturalized people have very strong dark circles under their eyes, and after a little inquiry, they learned that they were afraid that when the part of the earth where they were located turned down, they would fall directly into the endless abyss and not be able to sleep......
Although the storm of "incorrect thinking" that questioned scientific theories has been quelled, the basic knowledge of the old world is so difficult that it is simply impossible to talk about the slightly more esoteric knowledge of astronomy and geography. Therefore, during this period, in addition to their usual ordinary teaching work, the veteran teachers also had to add a large number of various physics experiments to ensure that the students could stuff more scientific theories into their heads, so as not to deviate from the "scientific track" with a little strength.
Since this incident, the veterans of the education department have really felt that "education is no trivial matter", and they have done everything to the extent that the theocracy of the old forces in the old world has attacked the path of scientific development, and they know that the path of scientific development is unstoppable. If we want to build a new world in a shorter time, we can only achieve this effect by opening our minds and mobilizing the masses to come to the embrace of science, and under the guidance of the general direction of the various science and technology trees of the Great Library, so the Senate's investment in education has not been reduced since the establishment of literacy training courses, to the beginning when each child is given a set of student uniforms free of charge to the present day, every child is guaranteed an egg every day, everything is revolving around education.
Jiang Yan sighed and looked up the window, which was facing the port area, where steam cranes were spewing black smoke, lifting containers from the new steam carriers and placing them on flatbed trucks at the dock. This steam carrier is another sister ship "Hong Kong", which was launched at the same time as the "Oriental Port" freeship, and the Hong Kong is just like her name, going back and forth between Oriental Port and Hong Kong. Due to the "modern" open cargo compartment design, the free wheel can directly lift the fully loaded container to the bottom of the cargo hold with a crane when loading, and can also be directly lifted out with a crane when unloading, which saves the transfer time of bulk cargo and greatly increases the loading and unloading efficiency. In addition, the flatbed train can be pushed directly to the wharf, so that the goods lifted out by the crane can be directly loaded into the flatbed car and then sent to any place in the Oriental Port through the railway network.
On a trestle in front of the Hong Kong, a dense crowd of people is carrying goods from two cargo ships to the wharf, these two cargo ships are not Dongfang Port's own cargo ships, but from several Guangdong cargo ships traveling with the Hong Kong, these standard Guangzhou ships are full of goods parked next to the trestle, and two relatively wide gangplanks are set up from the side of the ship. These two Cantonese ships belonged to Chen Li of Zhaoqing, and since the northbound detachment passed through Zhaoqing and negotiated the "partnership plan" with Zhang Qiulin, Chen Li and many other local wealthy businessmen, the partners invested in the establishment of several factories, which were all appointed by Dongfang Port by land to send naturalized craftsmen to carry new tools and measuring tools to guide the production, so the production standards of weights and measures were completely formulated in accordance with the standards of the Senate.
Naturally, these factories not only produce furniture, but also Rolls-Royce rickshaws and small human-powered speedboats, both of which were sought-after as soon as they were launched in Zhaoqing and Mingzhou, and were sold out almost as soon as they left the factory, and were completely in short supply. Especially Rolls-Royce, which has now become the standard for rich people in Mingzhou City, even if there is no Rolls-Royce in the south to marry when marrying a daughter, don't want to take the bride out. While the local partners are making a lot of money, the Chinese Senate, as a technology provider, is naturally making a lot of money, knowing that in the partnership plan, the shares of the Senate are always 51%, so when the dividends are distributed, the profits that the Senate can get are naturally 51%. However, the Senate had an inexplicable attitude towards the money that the partners found inexplicable—they did not like silver.
In Port Orient, there are three types of currency in circulation: silver, copper, and banknotes, and the most popular of the three currencies are not silver or copper, but paper money. Compared to metal money, paper money is more convenient in circulation, and the face value of paper money only needs to change the number to reach the value of a large number of metal money, and almost everyone immediately fell in love with paper money as the Chinese government determined that paper money could be used to pay taxes and pay for living expenses. Like all formal government currency, the issuance of banknotes in the Oriental Port has a reserve, and the total amount of currency in circulation in the entire Oriental Port is now about 1 million, and the number of banknotes is about 600,000.
The issuance of banknotes was a good thing for Shui Wangtai, as the relatively worthless paper gained value, and the precious metals that were originally used to make metal money were retained and used as raw materials for procurement, while copper, which was originally used as a raw material for the manufacture of auxiliary coins, was saved and used as industrial raw materials. In this way, silver suddenly became completely unimportant in the Oriental Port, and silver in the Oriental Port could only be used as a raw material for currency production except for the manufacture of some special industrial equipment, although some elders suggested that silver wire should be used instead of copper wire in the Oriental Port area, but this suggestion was only shot at the discussion stage. There have been several thefts of copper wire in Oriental Port, and it took a long time for the police department to catch the thief.
At the Zhaoqing dividend meeting a year ago, Shui Wangtai, the representative of the Senate, directly told all the partners that the Senate does not need silver, only copper coins or copper ore to pay, and at the same time, the Senate will not take any silver back to Dongfang Port, but purchase industrial raw materials and grain locally and bring them back to Dongfang Port. Such a move in Zhaoqing has been sought after by the local wealthy businessmen, for them, they only need to spend money in vain, what grain or ore is not an important thing at all, as long as they hear that someone wants to immediately go to the local tooth merchants to pull the needle, for a time let the entire Zhaoqing tooth merchants earn money in their pockets, and stimulate the economic situation of the entire Zhaoqing to jump up a ladder.
As the head of the partner, Wang Zunde's staff Zhang Qiulin can be regarded as making a lot of money, he never thought that he could make so much money through the tooth merchants, since this time he cooperated with the people, the factory made the next most money, but made tens of thousands of taels through the tooth merchant intermediary. Naturally, it is impossible for him to take all the money into his pocket, you must know that Wang Zunde is a fairly standard clean official, he usually lives a clean and honest life, and his monthly money is only five taels a month, and his way to make money is basically obtained through Wang Zunde's power, so he has to give some of the silver in his hand to Wang Zunde, and at the same time, he must also send some points to the officials of other departments, and take care of all the ways, so that there are more opportunities to make money, right?
With this money, he went to the newly built shipyard to customize a canton ship, and then recruited a group of people to directly purchase a large number of various industrial raw materials that are popular with the people of Zhaoqing and sent them directly to Hong Kong. When he arrived in Hong Kong, he was directly shocked, Hong Kong has been blocked at the moment, resulting in a large number of raw materials hoarded in the port, and there is no way to unload them. Zhang Qiulin was lucky, just in time for the peace agreement negotiations between China and Meideno had come to an end, and the Meideno fleet withdrew the siege of Dongfang Port and allowed the Dongfang Port to trade freely, so the Hong Kong transport ship that rushed to Hong Kong came to Dongfang Port directly with Zhang Qiulin's Guangzhou ship and the cargo ships of many local wealthy merchants in Zhaoqing Mingzhou.
Unlike the special cargo ships of the Port of Vostochny, these indigenous ships were not modified to carry containers, so they had to be loaded and unloaded by manpower. Now the stevedores on the dock are like ants densely packed from the gangplank to the boat, then carry the goods and walk off the ship from another gangplank, and then walk across the long trestle, unloading the goods on flatbed trucks to wait for transportation, a busy scene.
"This is our city," a familiar voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Yan's ears, and she couldn't help but smile slightly, "Excuse me, what is our city?" It is the city of the Senate. ”
"We are the patriarchs!" Li Zhe behind him walked over, hugged Jiang Yan's waist, hugged her in his arms and said, "We are the tomorrow of the Senate, so it will definitely not be wrong to say that Dongfang Port is our city!" My wife has worked hard! ”
