Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At the critical moment of the war with the British, French and foreign barbarians, when everyone in the country was preparing for the Northwest War, Yang Meng stopped in Jinkou. First, he designated 30,000 acres of mountain forest for the Royal Academy of Sciences, and then summoned the Imperial City Construction Office and Minghu  The troops and horses began to build a large-scale construction project in Jinkou.  ¡° Moreover, the location was chosen very well. It was near Haikou. Yang Meng had to go to the construction site to inspect the work these days. In order to entrust this task, Seng Gelinqin¡¯s horse team had to send 30,000 horses to guard the Royal Academy of Sciences¡¯ construction site.  This was just the beginning. A few days later, Yang Meng issued an order and began to gather various artists in the south, southwest, and northwest of the Yangtze River. If they were just construction artists, that was it, but Yang Meng's order was extremely broad, and all artists with exquisite craftsmanship  Artists are all in the ranks of recruitment.  Building the Royal Academy of Sciences is similar to building a garden. The first allocation from the Ministry of Household Affairs was five million taels of silver. Yang Meng also made a note and decided on this. Today's Ministry of Household Affairs and the emperor's imperial edict are not as good as those of Yang San  My note is very useful, let alone five million taels of silver, even if it is fifty million, they will not hesitate.  Then came the transportation of huge amounts of construction materials. What Yang Meng did in Jinkou has slightly affected the shipping of the canal. Today's Grand Canal not only has to transport materials for the battlefield in the suburbs of Beijing, but also supplies to the northwest.  It is not diverted to the Yellow River until the Shandong section.  In the eyes of Xu Ziwei and others, the Royal Academy of Sciences is, to put it bluntly, a garden built in Jinkou. By doing things like this, Sanye Yang seems to be somewhat unprofessional.  Leaving Cen Yuying and Li Xiucheng in charge of the capital, the helpless Xu Ziwei took the train and secretly came to Jinkou.  Now this time.  Yang Sanye does this.  It hurts the morale of the military!  "Third Master! Third Master! The war in the northwest is fierce, construction projects are in full swing in various places, and the peace talks in Jinkou have reached an impasse. You should go to the capital and take charge!" In addition to being anxious, Xu Ziwei was also a little scared. What did Zuo Duma do in the northwest?  Xu Ziwei knew it very well, even though the telegrams back and forth were immediately burned.  But one by one in the northwest, they are all imprinted in his mind. Could it be that the third master wants to play and doesn't know?  Once this happens, Ye Mingchen will not be the only one who will be unlucky in the future liquidation. The administrative center of the Yang family will also bear the responsibility.  "Oh can the overall situation go smoothly?" Yang Meng, who was looking at the drawings at the Jinkou construction site, raised his head inadvertently, asked casually, and then focused his eyes on the drawings. ? Royal Academy of Sciences.  Most of the people who will be used in the early stage are European and American talents. It is also necessary to combine Chinese and Western talents.  The construction office of the capital also has a large number of people who are proficient in Western-style architecture. How to embody Western learning and apply it in the Royal Academy of Sciences is a matter for Yang Meng to make a decision.  If it is too Westernized, the Royal Academy of Sciences will inevitably suppress the scientists of the Qing Dynasty in the future. If it is too Chinese, Western scientists have no sense of belonging. Don't underestimate each building, which involves winning over people's hearts.  "Everything is as usual, the Yang family is like an arm and a finger, and the Qing Dynasty is under the control of the Yang family." Speaking of this, Xu Ziwei had to praise Mr. Yang's clever methods. Although the shadow had been dismembered, Yang  The family has such appeal, and hundreds of thousands of shadows are indispensable.  The severe punishments implemented by Mr. Yang in the Yang family have also deterred many unscrupulous people. No one cares about small problems, and no one dares to make big mistakes. The Yang family runs extremely smoothly, without any stagnation.  "Then it's over! Since it's running normally, what are you doing to find me? I'm a living monkey, if you don't stay in the capital honestly, are you afraid that I will kill the donkey? Don't worry, I have followed the Eight Sutras of Righteousness along the way.  If you go out and sit back, you can't implicate the Yang family. Just do it boldly! Who is that? Come on, this Royal Academy of Sciences has mainly Western-style buildings. The overall environment is  , it is constructed according to the garden methods of the Qing Dynasty, mainly in Western style, and Chinese-style buildings still account for 30 to 40%. As for the gate of the Royal Academy of Sciences, it is based on the Arc de Triomphe in France.  The rest of the buildings should be practical but also aesthetic, let¡¯s go ahead and plan! The Royal Academy of Sciences is comparable to the Northwest for Yang Meng!  The war or the peace talks at Jinkou are much more important. As for the projects in various places, they are mainly highways, canals, rivers, and railways.  Except for highways, which are semi-permanent projects, most of the other canals, rivers, and railways are temporary projects. With efficient water pumps, except for some canals, most canals will be abandoned. During this period, at most  Just twenty or thirty years.  As for the river course, the riverThe rivers in ? are still intact, but most of the rivers in the south of the Yangtze River have been hastily renovated by Yang Meng. The rivers in the north generally have a high sediment content. A Yellow River gives people a headache. The water conservancy projects of the year were silted up. This is not a temporary project.  What?  If it weren't for the war in the northwest, Yang Meng wouldn't have bothered to dredge the Yellow River!  As for the railway, this is even more true. Whether it is the Mongolian railway or the northwest railway, 99% of the railway tracks are laid on the plains. Apart from rivers, there are very few bridge construction projects in the middle.  Such railways are too roundabout. Now that the railway network is completed, it will be at least three to five times or even more than the straight-line distance. But compared to canals, railways are more suitable for the northern plains. Even if the mileage of construction is only the straight-line distance  Ten times and twenty times. Trains that run day and night are still far better than using mules and horses to transport materials. If a powerful locomotive can be built, the advantages of railways will also increase ten times and twenty times. There will be time in the future to take advantage of  If it is straight, the railway will be more convenient. The railways built now will become branch lines or be directly demolished.  War and a large number of temporary projects, there is really nothing to worry about. The Qing Dynasty has been emptied out by Yang Meng. When the Mongolian kings have decided on the seven regents, the Mongolian cavalry will go out of the fortress, and the four-color sticks will be ready.  .  Even if the war in the northwest cannot be won in a short period of time, Yang Meng will multiply his troops to the left and Duma.  You can't win with a million dollars.  Just two million.  If two million people can't win, then five million people. The Qing Dynasty has a population of 40 million, and there will always be less than half of the strong labor force. If tens of millions of people can't win the war in the northwest, then they will all die in the northwest.  Peace talks depend on the war situation in the northwest. The war situation in the northwest is uncertain, and Yang Meng will not negotiate for peace.  There is no need to worry about this matter, just wait for the results of the battle in the northwest and Britain, France and Russia will bow their heads.  As for those temporary projects, as long as the people below don't dig down the Yellow River embankments, there will be no problem. Temporary projects are for temporary use. Apart from temporary use, Yang Meng also wants to let everyone  Qing's technicians are familiar with large-scale projects.  Even if there are some oversights, as long as it is not an oversight like the Yellow River bursting its banks.  That's not a bad thing.  The construction of the Royal Academy of Sciences is extremely important, and other things are secondary. It is reasonable for Yang Meng to stay in Jinkou.  "Third Master, you are the leader of the Yang family after all! The Royal Academy of Sciences is important. You have just set the general framework. Is it time to return to Beijing this time?" After hearing Yang Meng's plan for the Royal Academy of Sciences, Xu Ziwei also roughly  I understand some things. The Yang family is what it is today, and Xishan and Minghu are indispensable. Mr. Yang wants to build Xishan and Minghu in the capital!  But these are all obvious. Is it time to go back to manage politics?  "No! I'll still have to look at the drawings in five days, and I'll have to ask about the type of building in detail. The next step is to combine the technology of the building office, folk craftsmanship, and Western craftsmanship. The money is still worth it.  To make money from outsiders, I have brought in so many artists, so I can¡¯t just sit around and eat, right? Most of the artists from Yunnan and Jiangnan have been sent to the ordnance factories, and I have to get a batch of them out during this period. Although industry is important,  Inheriting the craftsmanship passed down by our ancestors is not rubbish! " Shipbuilders and skilled workers, especially fitters, are still very tightly controlled in the Western world. Yang Meng wants high-level fitters. That's not the case!  No, these people are also strategic talents in the West, and no country will be stupid enough to push them out of the country.  At that time, Yang Meng's foundation for starting a business was not the junior technicians at the Brown Bess Gun Factory in India. He would not let go of high-level talents easily. Without high-level fitters, this would not be a problem for Yang Meng. Although the Qing Dynasty said  There are no high-level fitters, but there are people who are more advanced than fitters. Those top craftsmen who inlay copper, silver, jade and jade have steadier hands than high-level fitters, and their grasp of dimensions is more accurate, especially in the manufacturing office.  The jade carving master is working with a sword hanging above his head.  As long as they are familiar with the operating principles of machinery, it only takes a year and a half to become senior fitters.  After all these people were sent to the factories, the handicraft industry of the Qing Dynasty also suffered a certain blow. Now that the industrial foundation of the Qing Dynasty has taken shape, it is time to enter the mountains and forests. Many things inherited by China are not in the  On his mouth but on his hands, Yang Meng didn't want to destroy these things.  "Aren't you not doing your job properly?" Seeing that Mr. Yang didn't move, Xu Ziwei became anxious. Although the Yang family was running normally, Mr. Yang was not in charge for a long time, so people's minds may change!  Could it be "You bastard, how can you talk to me? Is this not doing my job properly? Are you blind? Yunyan is coming to an end soon. How many industries in the Qing Dynasty can make foreigners money? In addition to silk, porcelain, and tea  , and how many more??Things, sit back and eat nothing!  The experience before the Qing Dynasty tells us that self-sufficiency is not possible. We can only get rich temporarily by using clouds or plunder. If we want to develop in the long term, the Qing Dynasty or China's commerce must explore the world and let  Countries around the world contribute money to feed us!  Feed our people!  "The war is only temporary, Chief, it's better to distinguish the priorities. Why do we have to fight? If for no other reason than to seize more territory."  What is the purpose of grabbing land? First, it is for the mineral trees on the land, which are the basis of our development. The second is to seize the land where people will live in the future. This war is fought for profit, and it is fought to vent anger. I am not stupid!  Why do I want to purge the northwest?  Why were the people of the four khanates of Central Asia massacred?  Is it because they are extroverted and have thoughts of tearing apart the earth in the future?  With these lands in our hands, we can obtain mineral resources and immigrate to our own countries, and we can feed the people on our own lands.  With improved living conditions, the population will only increase, and no amount of land is too small!  Why do you want to meet the Royal Academy of Sciences?  Science and technology, with these we can avoid being beaten and make the people live a better life!  People have endless desires. Don¡¯t think that eating and drinking is what the common people want. After they are fed and warm, they will think about money. After they are fed and clothed, they will think about wearing gold and silver, riding horses and riding in carriages. These things  How can you be satisfied, relying on land?  The land can only produce food, but human hands can continuously create wealth. What I am doing in Jinkou now is not a dereliction of duty, it is the foundation of the country in the future!  Looking at your stupid look, I know you won't do this. I have no choice but to do it myself. Think carefully about what I said and bring it to Cen Yuying and Li Xiucheng. The three of you can discuss it.  Give another one to Mr. Wei from Yunnan and another to Ding Taichen from Guangzhou. We need to distinguish the priorities!  Fighting is just a trivial matter!  The Qing Dynasty has a large population. Even if the northwest is defeated, if we organize our troops, it will only cost us money and food. What do we have to worry about?  " Xu Ziwei's words "not doing his job properly" also aroused Yang Meng's anger. Isn't the war just for profit? Xu Ziwei and others are narrow-minded in this matter! ""I'm enlightened, I'm enlightened!"  Chief Xu¡¯s book was read in vain and he was ashamed to meet people!  " "Don't play with this, get out of here!  I¡¯ve also kept an eye on the people below, so maybe they¡¯ll jump out!  " When he said this, YangMeng's eyes also showed a hint of coldness. The Qing Dynasty was imminent, and it was almost time to clean up again. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
