The journey starts from the Titanic

This move also brings together ethnic minorities in Aceh, Batak and other places, as well as the large-populated Javanese, Sundanese and other indigenous peoples, but the number of places is limited.

Even so, there are still many enlightened Javanese aborigines who send their children to schools for education. Especially in the cities, those aborigines who have gradually benefited from the industrial construction of South China are even more enthusiastic.For them, going to a Chinese school is not much different from going to a Dutch school before. The only difference may be that you can go to school for free now. After graduation, it is easy to find a good job in a Chinese boss’s factory or farm, and you can even go to work in the government. .

Zhang Taiyan looked at Wu Liande and Lu Bicheng who were singing and playing together. He thought for a moment and understood what they meant. He nodded and smiled: "No problem. I have been giving lectures all over the country in the past few years, and I have contacted various universities and colleges. It’s natural for the young people of South China to go to Nanhua to support the education of compatriots here."

"Thank you Mr. Zhang." Wu Liande excitedly shook Zhang Taiyan's hand.

"This is also to promote and inherit Chinese culture, and it should be the case."

Wu Liande and Lu Bi became the heart of boxing and boxing, Zhang Taiyan naturally felt that, in his heart, the Chinese in Nanyang have such a strong enthusiasm for building the country, are they worried about Nanhua?

Zhang Taiyan was very pleased that Nanhua wanted to restore the culture of Han and Tang Dynasties, feeling that what he had learned all his life was finally useful.

He smiled and said: "The name New Tangshan is good! I admire the swordsmen scholars in the Tang Dynasty. They were erudite, talented, literary and military, and forged a developed and confident Tang Dynasty, magnificent and fascinating."

"That's right! Nanhua's educational goal is to educate scholars with swordsmanship." Wu Liande nodded.

"What kind of swordsman scholar?"

There was a hearty voice at the door, Yu Mingyu went home, and when he saw Zhang Taiyan and the others, he walked over with a smile.

"This is my husband Yu Mingyu, who is now the Minister of Industry of Nanhua." Lu Bicheng proudly introduced.

"This is Mr. Zhang Taiyan, and Mr. Xu Wei..."

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Xu..."

Yu Mingyu enthusiastically greeted this group of compatriots in the motherland. He hadn't returned home for several days because of the industrial construction planning. He heard that there were guests at home, so he came back today.

Zhang Taiyan and the Xu family brothers are very curious about Yu Mingyu, the young minister of industry.

The Ministry of Industry has surprisingly great power in South China, and the Ministry of Transportation, together with the Ministry of Transportation, is called the two major industrial departments of South China, and takes over the industrial construction of the country.

There is no doubt that this Yu Mingyu is one of the core figures of Nanhua.His wife, Lu Bicheng, is also a high-ranking official in Nanhua. For this political star couple, Zhang Taiyan and the Xu family brothers always find it a little weird.

After some greetings, everyone resumed the topic just now.

After hearing Wu Liande's plan to train Nanhua students into swordsmen, Yu Mingyu shook his head and said, "Mr. Wu, your thinking is crooked. It should be noted that scholars have always been in small quantities, and even fewer can be swordsmen. Our resources are limited, so the Ministry of Education should train hard-working workers! Of course, I do not object to the elite education in private schools."

"Aren't you misinterpreting what I mean? I mean cultivating energetic, literary and martial talents instead of those sour talents who are studying hard." Wu Liande laughed.

"No, no, listen to me." Yu Mingyu waved his hand and smiled again, "After all, there are only a few people in this world who can ask for martial arts. What Nanhua is in short supply is people with skills, to be precise, skilled workers.

They don't need to know Tang poetry or Confucian sayings, but they must be proficient in a production process and a small amount of technical parameters.

You don't know, I have a headache every day now.We now lack qualified workers. Using the same production technology, our production efficiency is much lower than that of foreign workers.The high rate of defective products and serious waste make our production costs high.This tuition fee can be expensive.

Even a dexterous young man would never want to be a teacher for three to five years.Besides, many of them were just recruited from China and had no education. We had to teach them hand in hand.

This is nothing. The most painful thing is that many of their things have no concepts, such as precision, step by step, and the concept of details is very vague. Foreign students have already understood these things firmly in school. We-well, if it weren't for some of the foreign experts we hired, and some of the fairly good workers that Meihua had trained before, it would be useless even if we had perfect planning and design."

Yu Mingyu vomited bitterly in the waterway.He has proposed that Nanhua's education should give priority to the development of vocational education, otherwise the industrial construction will not be able to continue.

To build a complete industrial system in a country with almost zero industrial base, apart from sufficient funds and resources, it also needs a large number of qualified personnel, which is what Nanhua lacks most.These days, Yu Mingyu has finally realized what is easier said than done.

Seeing Yu Mingyu's frowning brows, Lu Bicheng felt a little sad.She has visited large factories in the United States and seen busy car production lines, so she understands Yu Mingyu's ideas.

Literati can use gorgeous and moving language to describe the magnificence and grandeur of the factory's large-scale production. For the technicians, they have to go through a lot of calculations for each screw, each process requires countless tests, and the placement of each machine is exhausted. Their brains.The manuscripts they calculated piled up the room, and in tons, it was much more than the manuscripts written by literati.

"Mr. Zhang, you can write a great book with a single pen, but a product requires a large number of technicians and workers to work together, and it can be completed after many processes. It is not possible to do it alone. It must be divided into labor. cooperation.

Of course, the two are needed by society, and there is not much comparison.What I mean is that Nanhua needs to spend more limited resources on cultivating workers on the production line. When our productivity increases and the society has more abundant material supplies, then culture will naturally flourish."

Yu Mingyu explained again.

He felt it, and couldn't help getting excited as he spoke, spreading the basic knowledge of industrial construction to everyone.

What Nanhua needs now is more factories, bigger farms, producing more products, and feeding more people. Cultural prosperity that is not built on a strong social production is just a pastime for a few literati.

Yu Mingyu dared not say this, otherwise he would sleep on the floor at night.

The Xu family brothers listened in amusement, but Zhang Taiyan's expression on the side was a little unhappy.

He didn't have any episodes. He felt that what Yu Mingyu said was a bit reasonable. He was not a person who lived in the past. He naturally understood the importance of industry to a country, but he felt a little awkward.

Wu Liande thoughtfully, looked at each other with Lu Bicheng, and said in his heart: "Yu Mingyu's words represent the voice of the industry. The Ministry of Education is required to train more technical talents. It seems that the Ministry of Education has to make a clear and long-term plan."

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Yu's words are somewhat reasonable. Don't you want to walk around? Now Nanhua is a big construction site. Why not let Mr. Yu take you to see our railway and factory construction?"

Wu Liande suggested.

"Yeah." Zhang Taiyan nodded and agreed with Yu Mingyu to visit the construction of the New Tangshan Iron and Steel Base.

A mature woman is as good as a mature woman. Yu Mingyu, who has just finished a lively battle with the fiery body of Lu Bicheng, has indescribably relaxed spirit, and the pressure of working days has been released."Is it to blame for my being too direct just now, which hurt the face of you scholars?" Yu Mingyu smiled.

"Zhang Lao is not a stingy person, I think he just can't turn around a bit in his heart, you take him to see, I guess the awkwardness in his heart will soon disappear. Everything is difficult at the beginning, I support you!"

Lu Bicheng said softly.

She knows that there are people like Yu Mingyu in Nanhua. They are well-educated, have diplomas in universities in the United States and Germany, have high accomplishments in scientific research and technology, and even know a lot of Western art, but few Time to reveal.

They are silent, do not like to speak up, and hardly have time to talk about those vague topics.

For them, the biggest achievements are factories and railways. In short, everything that emits industrial waste gas fascinates them.

This is another kind of beauty, a great power, just like Yu Mingyu’s often lip service, "We have too much to do, and there is almost no time to listen to it."

Yes, just do more and say less.Feeling the hardness remaining in his body swelling, Lu Bicheng let out a cry and fell down again.

Chapter 145

The next day, Zhang Taiyan and Xu Wei understood why New Tangshan was a big construction site.They sat in a fast car, along the spacious and straight road, and soon came to the industrial zone in the south of New Tangshan.

The smoke and dust billowing on the construction site, the roaring of machines, the scene of a raging fire is inspiring.

In order to level the foundation, the Nanhua Industrial Department invested more than 300 construction equipment, bulldozers, road rollers, mixers, cranes, etc. can be seen everywhere.

Under the guidance of a red-haired and green-haired foreign engineer, the worker wearing a hard hat made of iron, with the help of a nearby translator, worked according to the drawings.

"Damn! How big is this!" Zhang Taiyan couldn't help sighing.

Yu Mingyu smiled slightly and said: "The steel plant we saw is under construction, with a total area of ​​5 hectares. The first phase of the project is currently underway. The construction area is one hectare. A 300,000-ton steel production line is built. The equipment is ordered from the United States. It has been shipped here, and when the infrastructure here is built, it can be installed and debugged immediately."

Yu Mingyu looked at the gradually taking shape of the steel base with a sense of accomplishment in his heart.For this reason, he set up a headquarters directly on the construction site and spent much longer time at the construction site than at home.

From time to time, I have to visit the South China branch of Meihua Company and Bethlehem Company to keep an eye on the progress of the project and solve various problems.

Almost every day's itinerary is arranged densely, like a tireless machine.
