Chapter 685 Industrial Sprouts
In addition to the General Administration of Internal Affairs, the General Administration of Military Affairs has also achieved remarkable results.
The goal of territorial expansion has long been accomplished, and the garrison divisions that have been transferred from various places have been reorganized one by one. The logistics supply center at the headquarters of the three major armies has also been constructed.
Massive supplies have arrived at the front line one after another.
At the same time, the military competition lasted for three months. A month ago, the champion of the team competition, the champion of the six major military branches, and the overall champion of the whole army had been determined.
Except for the overall champion, who was the "No. 1 martial artist" in the army, who had to wait for Ouyang Shuo to present the award in person, the other champions had already received corresponding honorary titles and promotions in the military.
The martial arts competition is over, and martial arts practice in the army has become a common practice.
Those who were defeated in the arena were naturally unconvinced and wanted to win back.
Du Ruhui, director of the General Administration of Military Affairs, has already announced that the military competition will become a regular competitive event, held once a year, and a "martial arts champion" will be born every year.
In addition to the army, the construction of the navy is even more dazzling.
The Beihai Fleet, Yashan Fleet, Jiaozhou Fleet, and Xingzhou Fleet under the Nanyang Navy have all been expanded. Together with the incomplete Mediterranean Fleet, the total strength of the Nanyang Navy has reached more than 470,000.
The overall combat power of the navy is already comparable to that of the army.
Shanhai City's naval strategy is gradually taking shape, the only thing missing is the update of battleships and firearms. With steam engine technology, this goal is already in sight.
...
With the support of a large amount of funds, basic education and basic medical care in the territory are progressing smoothly. This fall, the second batch of students will enroll on the spot according to the new school system.
In this way, in the four years of Gaia, the talents cultivated by the territory will surely usher in a big explosion. Even if the imperial examination is not held, the territory can still pass the graduates every year and recruit batches of low-level officials.
The talent construction system of Shanhai City is getting rid of the shackles of the ancient imperial examination system, and is moving closer to the civil servant system in modern society, with stronger vitality and vitality.
In this way, it is also a key move to get rid of the prejudice of family status.
The more than 5,000 spring trainees from the Southwest University Hall and the Army Lecture Hall have all graduated, and under the auspices of the General Administration and the General Administration of Military Affairs, they have been assigned to serve in various governments and military.
With the support of Ouyang Shuo's special funds, the two colleges have reached a new level in terms of the level of teachers, teaching software and hardware facilities, and even the level of students.
Those who come to the two colleges of Shanhai City to study are no longer limited to the students in the allied territories of the [Shanhai League]. Scholars from impoverished families from the major royal cities flocked to Shanhai City to study.
The academic atmosphere of Shanhai City has already surpassed that of the Nine Kingdoms. Even Luoyang, where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sat in town, respected Confucianism and promoted Confucian classics, there was no Southwest University Hall to attract the attention of scholars.
Because Southwest University is not only free to study, but also provides additional subsidies for students with difficulties. In this way, some poor scholars simply moved their families to Shanhai City and settled there.
For such students, the Shanhai City government will provide appropriate subsidies.
More importantly, Southwest University has an inclusive and open academic atmosphere. Theories of a hundred schools of thought can take root and thrive here, and academic collisions are happening every day.
The great contending world in history is slowly taking shape in Shanhai City.
In addition to the graduates, the officials and generals who were on-the-job training in the two universities have also returned to their respective posts. Some who performed well in the college were recommended by the college and were promoted as soon as they graduated.
Some county magistrates were promoted to magistrates in one fell swoop, and some Yingzhengs were directly promoted to brigade commanders.
The bureaucratic system of the territory is becoming more and more perfect.
In the past six months, the quality of civil servants and generals in Shanhai City has been greatly improved.
The talent reserve of the territory has risen to a big level. According to Xiao He, the director of the General Administration of Administration, even if the territory is expanded to four or five counties at once, the existing talent pool can still support it.
The talent shortage dilemma of last year no longer exists.
In this way, Ouyang Shuo can further delegate power and concentrate on external struggles. The situation in China is becoming more and more clear, and the face-to-face collision between [Shanhai League] and [Yanhuang League] is not far away.
Apart from the domestic situation, Ouyang Shuo also had to plan the international situation. Not to mention, [ASEAN] is a huge challenge before Shanhai City.
How to completely disintegrate [ASEAN] within a year or two, Ouyang Shuo must have a plan.
...
Among the four general administrations, the General Administration of Finance has also made great achievements.
The maritime trade route between Shanhai City and the royal city of Quanzhou has been completely opened up. After the Star Country War ended, the Jiaozhou Fleet led by Shi Lang began to frantically sweep up the pirates within the route range.
Shi Lang was originally an expert in exterminating pirates, and the South China Sea was a sea area he was familiar with, so the efficiency of exterminating pirates was quite sharp. More than half of the Yashan Fleet's soldiers were contributed by Shi Lang's suppression of bandits.
Today, the entire waterway is under the protection of the Shanhai City Navy, and merchant ships can pass through with confidence.
Opening up the Quanzhou maritime trade route is not only of great significance to the territory, but also means that another important trade node has been added on the great route.
Merchant ships along the coast of China will transit through Quanzhou and travel to Southeast Asia for international trade along the great sea route opened by Shanhai City.
The commercial and trade agreements signed by Shan Hai City with Johor, Ni and other countries will also play a huge role.
Because of Shanhai City's intervention, a drastic change is taking place within [ASEAN].
On the one hand, the friendly countries of Shanhaicheng, such as Johor and Ni, have earned huge economic benefits through ocean-going trade with China. On the other hand, based on the outer islands of Xingzhou County, the national war PK between adventurers in China and players in Java is also in full swing.
Every day, hundreds of players die in the bloody zone.
Javanese players are still very tough. After playing for several months, there is no sign of backing down.
Last month, even the adventurers from Johor, instigated by the head of the [Tiger Mercenary Corps] Sha Tuya, began to frequently harass the border of Xingzhou County.
In this regard, adventure players in China will naturally not give up.
The long and narrow sea area between Xingzhou County and Johor has become a gray area for the two sides to compete.
In this way, there is also a division in Johor.
The lord players led by Shanda and Guo Yannan advocate peaceful trade; the adventure players led by Shatuya are involved in the vortex of national war PK.
The situation in Southeast Asia has become more complicated than ever.
Any disturbance may turn into a huge war.
*************
After reviewing the memorial, it was already around four o'clock in the afternoon.
Ouyang Shuo rubbed his swollen head, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and took a nap.
After the ocean voyage was over, the burden on Ouyang Shuo was even greater. A plate as big as Shanhai City was all on his shoulders.
To be honest, it's really not easy.
Especially the decline of the [Shanhai League] made Ouyang Shuo even more worried.
It's been two days since we returned to Shanhai City, but Ouyang Shuo hasn't gotten through with his allies yet. It's not that he didn't want to, but that he didn't understand the situation clearly, and he couldn't talk about it.
The current allies are all big bosses, and they will not be easily manipulated by Ouyang Shuo.
Not to mention Xunlong acupuncture point, even the current Phoenix, Ouyang Shuo can't see through his mind at a glance. For a long time, there has been a gap between Phoenix Prisoner and other allies.
The issue of Feng Prisonhuang's background has always been taboo by commoner lords such as the Siege Lion.
However, the current Luofeng City has grown into the second strongest territory in the alliance. When the siege lion and others were doing nothing, Phoenix Prisoner went against the trend and made dazzling achievements, saving the reputation of the alliance to a certain extent.
In this way, for the siege lion and others, I am afraid that they will not have any happy thoughts. On the contrary, it will plant deeper and bigger thorns in the heart.
The alliance is no longer the previous alliance.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo felt a little dazed. At the beginning of the second year of Gaia, when they held their first alliance meeting in Shanhai City, a group of young people sang and danced around the bonfire in the back garden of the Hou Mansion, imagining the future.
How harmonious they were at that time.
The scenes of yesterday seemed to happen in front of my eyes, but they have become out of reach.
"We need to have a good talk with them!" Ouyang Shuo thought to himself.
...
Half an hour later, Ouyang Shuo opened his eyes.
After approving the memorial, Ouyang Shuo didn't plan to stay in the study, "Come here, prepare your horse!"
"promise!"
Chen Dameng, the captain of the personal guard, responded and turned to leave.
Stepping onto Qingdian, Ouyang Shuo led his bodyguards and headed towards Nancheng District.
Although Xiaoqing has become Ouyang Shuo's mount, Ouyang Shuo still chooses to ride Qingdian when traveling in the city. Xiaoqing is too eye-catching and too flamboyant.
Furthermore, the little guy doesn't like being ridden by Ouyang Shuo often. When there is no war, its shadow is rarely seen, either in the spirit beast pavilion in Yashan City, or roaming in the sea.
Compared to Ouyang Shuo, the master, the little guy is very comfortable.
...
Nancheng District is directly connected to Wangcheng, and the gate of the city is guarded by the imperial guards.
Seeing Junhou and his party, the guards let them go immediately.
In the past half a year, Nancheng District, which is the military industrial zone of the territory, has completely changed. In the past, the workshops of the four major armies played a leading role, but now they are industrialized sites.
The earliest workshops of the four major armies have all been transformed into high-end manufacturing.
The bow and crossbow department workshop is now only responsible for the production of three bows and eight cattle bed crossbows and Zhuge Liannu, and the Jiafang division workshop is now only responsible for the production of military commander-level Mingguang armor, stepman armor and iron armor animal equipment.
The weapon workshop also only customizes weapons for the generals in the army.
General weapons and equipment have been transferred to local military workshops for processing.
A small half of the vacated land was used to build steelworks, firecracker workshops, and artillery workshops. More than half of the land is vacant, which is reserved for steam engines and other industrial machines.
...
When he came to Nancheng District, Ouyang Shuo was going to No. 7 Research Institute to hand over the technical manual he bought to Liu Mo himself, and at the same time learn about the industrial development of the territory.
Seeing the current situation in Nancheng District, Ouyang Shuo couldn't help being dumbfounded. If no one led the way, he wouldn't even be able to find the gate of No. 7 Research Institute.
