Dominate the Country

It's funny to say.

The war in America was already in full swing, but Chen Ming didn't know that another war between China and the West had already started.

Two hundred and twenty years ago, the news tradition between the East and the West was so slow that it was calculated in "months". If you are lucky, the news will be transmitted in five or six months; if you are unlucky, it may take ten months.

Therefore, Chen Ming didn't know about the war in Gibraltar. At this time, he was focusing on the construction of the small train in the Royal Amusement Park.

Well, this Royal Amusement Park was the one that Chen Ding "raised funds" to build. After these years of development, it has become a real amusement park. The area alone has expanded more than ten times, and it has also spanned a small lake, and has launched water bicycles, pedal boats and other projects.

Many children of Chen Han's powerful families like this place.

Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, Chen Ming decided to give his grandchildren a gift, and also let the descendants of Chen Han's high-level powerful people open their eyes.

He gathered skilled craftsmen and carefully built two most advanced steam engines, which were to be miniaturized. Then he built two smaller locomotives, pulling five or six carriages, which could circle around the playground.

Chen Ming came up with this idea because he thought of the small train he rode in the park when he was a child, and decided to make a copy. He thought his grandchildren would definitely like it.

Who knows, his little sons and daughters would also like it.

If the response is good, Chen Ming will also take out the steamboat next.

This matter cannot be concealed from the people, and the newspapers will also release the news bit by bit. When the influence accumulates to a certain extent, he will take these two things to Nanjing City and Qinhuai River. Although it is not known how long this will take, the ship has already finalized the paddle wheel, and the problem of train steering has also made a breakthrough. In fact, it is not that difficult to solve.

This is to prepare for a rainy day, and it is also an advertisement for future changes.

Trains cannot be freely turned by the steering gear like cars! Its steering is determined by the setting of the track. The movement of the train must be controlled by the track and cannot run independently. One of the functions of the rail is to guide the direction of the train. As long as the wheels of the train are changed and the rims are added to the inside, the rims can be used to ensure that the train runs on the rails - the same principle can also be applied to the tram.

The distance between the wheels of the train is slightly larger than the track gauge, so that the train will not fall off when turning. When turning, the outer rim is tightly stuck on the track surface, so a hissing sound can be heard. In addition, since the train has no differential, the tread of the wheel is not flat, but conical, in order to ensure that the internal and external speed differences are eliminated when passing through the curve.

This problem has been solved, and the train will have a smooth road ahead.

Although the development of technology is endless, with the current technology, after integration, the train can be presented to the world.

In this regard, the two epoch-making water and land transportation tools, ships and trains, have been successfully developed.

Although Chen Ming was still worried about the upcoming war with the big duck, the real focus of his work had shifted to domestic affairs.

With the successful development of trains and ships, China's domestic economy and transportation will inevitably set off a huge wave. If this wave is used well, it can become another wave of power for China's economic development; if it is not used well, it will become a resistance to the further development of China's economy.

Although Chen Ming did not know the obstacles and suppression encountered by trains and ships in history, he was already a political veteran and certainly knew the impact of the transformation of transportation on the economy and on the interests of some people.

Let alone other things, just say that Chen Han's prosperous sea and river transportation, as well as the prosperous carriage and horse business on the road, those vested interests must hate these two inventions in their hearts.

This matter must be settled, otherwise, if there is a mess, it will not only cause trouble, but also have a bad impact. Chen Ming will feel even more embarrassed.

...

The autumn is getting deeper, and the north has become a bit bleak. The dead branches and fallen leaves covering the streets added to the solemn atmosphere.

The streets of Nanjing were still prosperous, not affected by the autumn at all. Statistics in the summer showed that the total number of residents in Nanjing had reached more than one million, and the permanent population exceeded one and a half million. In addition to the short-term floating population, Nanjing, the political center of China, has a huge population of two million.

For such a city, the daily grain consumption alone is more than 20,000 shi. In such a large country, the population of Nanjing has surpassed the emerging Shanghai and the old Guangzhou, and has also left far behind Yanjing, which has bottomed out in recent years.

The weather is getting cooler, and under the cover of night, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, a few acquaintances met on the road, chatted for a few words and soon dispersed.

Only the wonton stalls at the corners of the street still had lanterns hanging.

In this slightly cold day, drinking a bowl of hot wontons is not only to warm your hands and feet, but sometimes also to fill your stomach.

Chang'an is not easy to live in.

There is no reason why the truth that the ancients knew thousands of years ago would not be repeated in the city of Nanjing today.

With the stabilization of the political situation in Chen-Han and the rapid development and rapid recovery of the domestic economic market, prices in Nanjing have also been rising steadily. Some young people who have not yet started a family or started a career, especially those who have just started working after graduating from university or college, or who have not yet found a suitable job, are not as sought-after as their predecessors twenty years ago. After twenty years of development, the number of college students, college students, vocational college graduates, junior college students, etc. in China has increased exponentially. Although it can't compare to the exaggeration and madness from the 1980s to the first decade of the 2000s in the original time and space, Chen Han's current economic scale is far from comparable to that of China in the first decade of the 21st century, right?

Anyway, the employment problem encountered by higher education graduates is a real problem that is gradually emerging from the bottomless pool of "society" and must be faced seriously by countless people.

It is said that the Ministry of Culture and Education has decided that the next step is to strictly require admission qualifications for higher education institutions and fundamentally reduce the number of students in higher education institutions.

Chen Ming has no meaning to this. Is this a trend of social and economic development?

In times of difficulty and need, the country must expand the number of graduates from institutions of higher learning so that social development can involve as many high-quality talents as possible. And when this situation has become fuller, then reduce the number of graduates from higher education institutions flowing into the society. This will also allow the word "higher education" to maintain its value, right?

As for the development to the stage of universal higher education or Europe and the United States in the 21st century, Chen Han still has a long way to go. Now they are just taking the first step. Don't think so far ahead.

Some fresh graduates who are waiting for employment, or those who have found a job, have moved out of school, but they are hungry at night and have no money left in their pockets to go to restaurants. And the restaurants that are still open at night are not cheap.

As a person with little money in his pocket and not very particular about food and drink, Wang Qingren was sitting in front of a very ordinary wonton stall, holding a bowl of hot wontons and drinking happily. Sitting next to him was his friend Li Rui, who was also holding a sea bowl and sipping hot wontons.

Wang Qingren is not yet eighteen years old, but he is already a second-year student at Nanjing Medical College. And his teacher Wang Zhizheng valued Wang Qingren very much. This was not because Wang Qingren and he were the same family five hundred years ago, but because Wang Qingren had the hard work and super strong psychological quality to study surgery.

Of course, Wang Zhizheng didn't know that his little apprentice was much more famous than him in the original time and space.

The 'psychological quality' that Wang Zhizheng was very pleased about - Wang Qingren was the only person he had met in his many years of teaching who showed no discomfort at all when he took the human anatomy class for the first time on the first day of school.

Wang Qingren is not bloodthirsty. Wang Zhizheng can clearly see that Wang Qingren is also suppressing nausea. In fact, many people are suppressing nausea.

Having such an intense class on the first day of school is to prepare the students.

But the difference is that some people can endure it, such as Wang Qingren, and there are very few such people. But Wang Zhizheng himself couldn't do it at the beginning. But the other students all vomited, not only the paste but also the acidic water.

Wang Qingren became an instant hit in the eyes of his teacher Wang.

Then during the summer vacation after the first academic year, Wang Zhizheng officially found a job for Wang Qingren as his assistant. While Wang Zhizheng was working at Nanjing Medical College, he was also the first surgeon in the hospital affiliated with the medical school.

Wang Qingren proved with facts that he was really talented in surgery, and then he had to find a house outside the school.

Now, Wang Qingren is very satisfied with the operation of disembowelment.

But how did Wang Zhizheng know that Wang Qingren in history went to the execution ground many times to observe executions in the conservative social environment at that time. In the fourth year of Jiaqing's reign, a young woman in Fengtian Prefecture was executed by Ling Chi. Because she was not a man, she could not approach her. "The executioner lifted her heart, liver and lungs and passed in front of her. A closer look was the same as the last time."

The large scale is much bolder than the disembowelment in today's society where "surgery" is commonplace.

It's just that Wang Qingren is a medical student, and he has no way to catch up with ships and trains. The only person who can really catch up is his roommate who shares a house with him - Li Rui.

Li Rui, a Suzhou native, is one year younger than Wang Qingren, but his family background is older than that of Wang Qingren. Before entering the Mathematics Department of Taixue University, he was already Qian Daxin's disciple.

Yes, Qian Daxin, Master Qian.

Qian Daxin was one of Chen Ding's early tutors. Although he has not entered the officialdom now, he has been taking turns in many universities in the capital, and his reputation is much higher than that of Ji Xiaolan, who did not go smoothly in the officialdom route.

He has the posture of being China's first scholar. At the same time, he is also one of the vice presidents of Zhongshan Academy of Natural Sciences.

It's easy to imagine how talented and intelligent Li Rui is at being favored by Qian Daxin at such a young age. However, the most outstanding thing about Li Rui's academic performance was not ancient Chinese, which he was good at following Qian Daxin, but mathematics.

Although Qian Daxin was a little disappointed, the necessary content was still there. When Li Rui was fifteen years old, he recommended him to go to Taixue University. Once I took the exam, the score was very gratifying. So he and Wang Qingren, who was one year older than him, were in the same year in Nanjing.

Wang Qingren and Li Rui were able to rent a place, and it must be said that the place they lived in was a Feng Shui treasure land. It is possible that it will be a witness to a good story decades later.

Although Li Rui is still young, just like Wang Qingren was pulled onto the operating table by Wang Zhizheng, Li Rui was also pulled into the train group by his teacher. This train group is not the original research group, but a manufacturing group under the current train research institute, which is specifically responsible for the small train in the Royal Amusement Park.

Skilled craftsmen made two small steam engines, one of which was loaded on the train and the other was kept as a spare. In fact, the so-called spare is the locomotive spare. There is no steam engine installed and then removed and replaced when it breaks down.

And the construction of a small railway, small locomotives, carriages, etc., all rely on mathematics.

Qian Daxin is not the head of this group, but with his face, it is a piece of cake to squeeze in an apprentice. And for Li Rui, whose life path has been finalized, this is the qualification after entering the Academy of Natural Sciences in the future.

However, no matter whether it was Wang Qingren who was on the operating table or Li Rui who joined the working group, they were not paid. Qian Daxin himself was not a person who was keen on wealth, otherwise he would definitely be much smoother than Ji Xiaolan and Yuan Mei in his official career.

Qian Daxin also served as an official for the Qing Dynasty, but he washed himself thoroughly, which was much better than the shit on Ji Xiaolan and Yuan Mei's crotch.

Therefore, Li Rui worked for nothing in the working group. Every morning when he got up, he had to deal with numbers and tests. He also had to go to school, and in the evening he had to take a bunch of drawings and data back to "home" to continue working. As for Wang Qingren, he was seizing every minute to learn knowledge and enrich himself. It was normal for these two people not to sleep at 10 or 11 o'clock at night.

After work/study every day, come out to drink a bowl of hot wonton, which is already a must for two young people who are growing up.

Li Rui's eyes are very sharp, but the thick black halo around him makes him look particularly listless.

Today, he has been busy in his own room since he came back. He only spoke a few words after he finished calculating the things at hand.

"The trial run of the small train will be on the tenth day. If you have nothing to do on that day, go to the entrance of the amusement park and I will take you in to ride the train."

He is still a 17-year-old child after all.

He worked in the working group for so many days in vain, but what he thought about was taking his friends for a ride when the small train was in trial operation.

Unlike his teacher, the Academy of Natural Sciences where Qian Daxin is now, has held several leadership meetings in a row, and the main body of these meetings is only one - how to get the patents for train manufacturing and ship manufacturing.

Although the two research group members were separated from the Academy of Sciences, they have now established their own banners. Even if they still have a thousand connections with the Academy of Sciences, it is impossible for them to give money to the Academy of Sciences for nothing.

And these two research groups are the natural owners of these two epoch-making technologies.

The Academy of Sciences is salivating over the two major patents.

The previous steam engine patents made them very happy. As the leader of Chenhan Technology, the Academy of Sciences has seen many inventions over the years and is even more aware of the profits that an important invention patent can bring. Now they are focusing on trains and ships!
