However, now their fate has changed. Like Salt Ding, they will also embark on the road to a well-off society. But then again, Salt Ding's team cannot be expanded anymore, otherwise, if there are more people, the overall employment price will inevitably drop.

However, there is no need to worry too much, because the overall shortage of labor in Haizhou Prefecture has not changed significantly. On the contrary, with the progress of urban development, this gap will become larger and larger. Chen Shiqing's idea is to first support the economy of Haizhou Prefecture through the two key points of maritime trade and salt industry development, and expand the scale of the city, so as to accelerate the arrival of the ocean era.

Then, as the poor Haizhou Prefecture was defeated, the poor would obtain a relatively improved living standard. Although the share of the increase was not very high, it gave them a hope. Next, they could continue to work hard on their own life. Then, Chen Shiqing would follow the east wind to build the Lingang Industrial Zone, and do whatever you make money. The textile industry, Jiangnan, we can do it, porcelain, Jingdezhen, and we can do it.

The key to the Lingang Industrial Zone is to facilitate going overseas and the transportation of raw materials. Therefore, as long as Chen Shiqing solves this problem, his model will be copied by countless cities. Then it will not only change the coastal cities, but also promote many aspects, such as the relaxation of the household registration system, the reduction of the restrictions on employees, the simplification of administrative agencies, etc. Once these modern procedures are started, they will be promoted quickly.

The so-called letting the bullets fly for a while is what it means. Now Qianlong saw the financial difficulties and saw that Chen Shiqing could make a lot of money, he felt that he could endure it. He felt that it was just a Haizhou Prefecture, and it was a rain of hands to turn the clouds. It was not a matter of minutes for me to settle him, but he didn't know that Chen Shiqing was going to instigate major changes across the country.

After seeing Chen Shiqing's progress, local governments in various places will follow their examples openly and secretly. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, especially the communication level in this era is very backward. When the people in the central government know, the local government may have been playing for several years. When the people in the central government realize the problem, the problems may be irreversible. When they tell Qianlong the news, when Qianlong wants to change all this, they will find that it is too late.

The trend of civilization is irreversible. Once Chen Shiqing's method is introduced, the people will never allow their happy lives to be destroyed. If they are strongly promoted, they may even be reversed by the people. Now Chen Shiqing is even thinking about whether he should prepare some places to receive inspection teams from other places, prefectures and counties in various places.

Like the modern army, Chen Shiqing doesn't care that someone does better than him, because he wants changes in the entire era, rather than focusing on details. Whoever wins and loses, why bother small things? If you do better than me, just do it. If you do not do it as good as me, then I will do it. In short, no matter who it is, whether it is you or me, as long as it can help our times progress, it will be good.

"You are a qualified boss. You have a great chance to work with you, but I want to give you a challenge. It is not enough to be tolerant, but you also need to have the ability to explore. Didn't you say you can contact Westerners? I want to buy arms, so please contact me quickly. If you can't contact me, I will shrink the business limit I give you. I'm not kidding you. I only like capable people." Chen Shiqing said with a smile.

Lin Huquan hurriedly said, "Sir, don't worry. This time I have contacted me and met some unpleasant Westerners. They forcibly took away my 2,000 taels of silver. Oh, it's so painful! I only brought back more than 20,000 taels of silver. The profit was only 3,000 taels. As a result, they directly took half of the profit, which was equivalent to a waste of time again, alas!"

"What? Two thousand taels of silver? Haha, you have a big appetite. Why are you so reluctant to swallow your anger? Your fleet is so large, can't you fight the enemy? Did you encounter a large warship or a giant ship?" Chen Shiqing asked sadly. As an official, he was unable to protect the national property of his country, and he felt very sad.

Lin Huquan sighed and said, "It's just a small boat, with only a few guns and no cannons. If I want to hit them, I can get them into the sea with one shot!"

"Then how can you bear this anger?" Chen Shiqing knew that Lin Huquan was not like this, and it must be a reason for it. So he held his patience and asked, hoping to hear some valuable answers.

Lin Huquan said with a wry smile: "It's easy for me to defeat his ship, but there are so many warships behind him. If I attack me, I will lose everything, let alone two thousand taels of silver. I'm afraid that two million can be emptied! If the loss in business is included, the money will not be calculated."

"Why are you so rigid? You killed them with one shot, who knew that it was you who killed them, killed all their people and destroyed their corpses. You are all businessmen, how could you be stupid at this time?" Chen Shiqing said dissatisfied.

Lin Huquan smiled and said, "If it were so simple, why would I not take action? Why would such a team of people come to find me and steal my things? They are not so wise. Just a small sampan dares to come out to grab things. Do you know that our fleet must pass by? It's impossible!"

Chen Shiqing frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"This is the good thing our sellers do! I went to find their people and wanted to buy things with them. Only they would know the range of my route, and would quickly find my fleet in the shortest time and grab my stuff. If I fired, within half an hour, the entire fleet would be sunk by their warships. These Westerners are really the masters of one thing in front of each other!" Lin Huquan said helplessly.

"I'll fuck him!" Chen Shiqing slapped the boat board with an angry slap.

What is this concept? How unscrupulous and arrogant it is to do business with you in person and steal you from behind. And even though he knows that the other party can speculate that the matter was done by him, he is still here. It's abominable!

"Give us some more time. Our Haizhou Navy will quickly form it, and ultimately let the enemy not have any chance to steal your things. Otherwise, how can you be worthy of your trust?" Chen Shiqing said.

"Sir, this matter is too urgent for a while, but there is no problem with buying arms. They think they will also play some tricks of using inferior products as good ones, but overall we can still satisfy us. After this business deal, they will be rich and may be more restrained!" Lin Huquan said.

Chen Shiqing couldn't help but think that sometimes Qianlong made a policy of strengthening seclusion, which was contrary to Heshen's proposal, which was not unreasonable. Qianlong was also a monarch who governed a great country. You can say that he was not as good as Kangxi and Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was definitely better than you. So what was the reason why he made a policy of strengthening seclusion?

Qianlong's shortcomings are actually unconcealed. They do have flaws such as great joy and luxury, but they are not as superficial as mentioned in history books. History books can tell the bullshit remarks of Emperor Yang of Sui building the Grand Canal in order to play in Yangzhou. They say that a monarch who governs a great country is even more mentally retarded than a mentally retarded person. Such people will be killed by others, let alone being emperors or county magistrates. Just think about it and know that it is impossible.

Qianlong's six trips to Jiangnan did have his luxurious and enjoyable side, but the real meaning behind it was to strengthen his control over Jiangnan, so that he could let people know that he was always there, constantly strengthening his prestige and the prestige of the central government, and support the Eight Banners Manchus and local governments in Jiangnan, so that they could master Jiangnan more smoothly.

By the same token, Qianlong chose to strengthen the policy of seclusion, reject Heshen's five-port trading, expand the scope and types of transactions, introduce Western technology, etc., is it really that Qianlong made a stupid decision? Chen Shiqing used to think that, but now it seems that there may be other reasons. Judging from Lin Huquan's forced to pretend to be confused, forced to accept exploitation from the other party, and pretend to be an unaware of the choice, there are articles here.

Qianlong's idea should be that after knowing the strength of the West, he also thought about revitalizing the country, but he knew that he was old and did not have the ability and energy to restore the decline. Under such circumstances, when a great power was over and towards decline, a more advanced technology and scientific culture in the West would come into people's vision, which would likely completely destroy China's national confidence and culture, and would not be able to resist the plunder of China by Western consortiums and interest groups, that is, the next India with an extinct language.

At this time, it is harmful to open up rashly. Reform and opening up must be implemented. However, if you need to divide the time and take action if you are not prepared enough, you will become a tool for the guide party and to be used by others in the Western world. However, strengthening internal strength and resting the country, Qianlong lost his energy. He was eighty years old, and his energy was insufficient, and his life span was not many years old. What he should do most is not to seek suffering in his twilight years.

Instead, we can smoothly support this difficult period, stability as the first element, and then let the young successors rebuild the prosperous era through twenty or thirty years of hard work, so that they can have the ability to reform and opening up. The opening of the Republic of China was a kind of wrong opening, and the result was that all the economy was mastered by the West, and only light industry would still be reduced, which was much more regressed than the opening in the late Qing Dynasty. From the late Qing Dynasty, we could build warships to the Republic of China that could not build a qualified rifle. We could only support the production line built in Hanyang, the Qing Dynasty fifty years ago, and the imitation was completely unqualified, because the production line was backward and the quality of the sample gun could not be produced.

After decades of reform and opening up in the new China, China chose to establish its own heavy industrial system and industrial foundation. Top technologies such as missiles, satellites, nuclear weapons, etc. were in the leading position in the world and then reformed and opened up and had strong resistance. When they first joined the WTO, they were worried that China's national industry would be defeated by advanced foreign industries, but they found that the other way around, it was because they were prepared. Otherwise, it would be another Republican-style opening to the outside world, which would actually become the dumping place for others to be economically colonized by others.

Unfortunately, Qianlong did not have a strong heir to solve these problems. The heir's ability is too far apart, and it is impossible to solve the problem at all, and it is impossible to keep the situation alive. Instead, the country's power is getting weaker and weaker, and it cannot even stop the downward momentum. Don't mention the matter of ZTE. Faced with such a situation, there is really no way. Who can make the descendants not compete for their success? This is not something Qianlong can control.

However, Chen Shiqing's existence solved this problem. Chen Shiqing felt that he should be able to do this and should have the ability to do what Jiaqing could not do to solve the huge dilemma facing China.

Chen Shiqing's speculation gave him great confidence. What does this mean? From Heshen's strong support for reform and opening up to being angrily denounced or even abandoned by Qianlong, but finally re-opened it, it shows that Qianlong's rejection of reform and opening up was not one-sided, but what Chen Shiqing thought, rejection with ideas, and helpless rejection.

In other words, even if Chen Shiqing made a big fuss, Qianlong would not care about him, because Qianlong was in seclusion openly and secretly supported openness. If he really opposed openness one-sidedly, then Heshen dared to challenge his idea, and had died twenty times long ago. Where would he have a prominent life later?

Since this is the case, I can do it with confidence and boldness!

"Okay, since I have contacted it, please come here to see me quickly. Let's discuss the specific price and procurement volume. To be honest, the Haizhou Navy's funding has been solved. Shipbuilding is going on for a while, so the armed forces cannot be left behind. Boss Lin, let's go back together and see the shipyard we have expanded. The scale is different, which will open your eyes!" Chen Shiqing said with a hint.

In fact, he also knew that the shipyards in Jiangnan were much larger than those here, but they were all inland boats. Although they were exquisite, they had different meanings. No matter how small the shipyards here were and how ugly the ships looked, we were also sea boats. They were used for going to sea. The nature was very different. If you insist on following this path, you will get rewards.

"Will the shipyard change so much in just one month?" Lin Huquan asked with a smile.

Chen Shiqing said with a deep meaning: "You will know soon, let's go!"

Chen Shiqing is right. You really have a chance to find out soon. The expansion of scale may not surprise you, but when you know that I am a major shareholder of this shipyard now, what will you think?

After a few days of busy working at the Haizhou Navy, Chen Shiqing was thinking about transferring his energy back to other internal affairs such as economic construction, but was stumped by something.

On this day, he heard early in the morning that Zhang Huaide and Chen Youqing bullied others by virtue of their power and beating the people because they were senior officers. The specific thing was that they had a meal in a restaurant and felt that the price was a bit expensive, so they were unhappy. They smashed the hotel in a disagreement and injured two clerks. They were also scared to the hotel owner and beg for mercy, and finally left for free.

In fact, the problem of military and civilians getting along was very serious in the Qing Dynasty. Although Chen Shiqing was working hard to manage military discipline, conflicts between the army and the people still often occurred. In the final analysis, Chen Shiqing felt that he was a local army, not as direct troops from the central government like the Green Camp Army, Eight Banners Soldiers, especially those of the Eight Banners Soldiers. He attached importance to the separation of local and military connections, the supply of military matters, clothing and other commodities, and his own local government departments handled it. He basically did not meet the people, so there was no chance of friction and there was much less trouble.

After repeated thinking, Chen Shiqing finally decided to severely rectify the military discipline problem. First, he found the reason for the military discipline problem. Just like the problems of the Hunan Army, since the rough men were people without cultural education at the beginning, they naturally became arrogant and domineering after they achieved military achievements. One such person is enough to have a headache, let alone a group of people?

The representatives are Chen Youqing and Zhang Huaide, both of whom were born as slaves of the guise, but because of their military achievements, they were carried into the military flag and became bannermen. Not only that, they also became senior officers, and suddenly became fluttering. The problem of contempt for the people and arrogance immediately appeared, and their power was corrupt!

After thinking about it, the final solution was to let Chen Youqing, Zhang Huaide, and a group of soldiers who often have military discipline problems and lack combat opportunities directly switch to Chen Shiqing's guards. If you take these people under your nose, you won't be afraid that they will have the intention to make trouble. If you have the ability, do something to make trouble in front of me and show me?

As for the infantry and naval yamen, the problem is simple. If there are direct superiors and troops with combat tasks at any time, they cannot be separated casually. On the one hand, they will be kept in the army and strengthened the education of military discipline. On the other hand, they will strengthen cultural education to let them understand right and wrong. Having a concept of right and wrong will also be helpful to military discipline.

In order to consolidate this policy, Chen Shiqing also beat four soldiers who violated military discipline and asked them to apologize to others. On the other hand, he also demoted two officers as a punishment for their poor management. With such a punishment, soldiers would continue to make mistakes, and they would feel psychological pressure to violate military discipline.

"Young Master, Master, please give us a judgement. The people from the infantry yamen have withdrew our ranks and will not be officers and mobilize soldiers in the infantry yamen. We will be sent to the yamen to do things and will not let us command the army."
