Chapter 1084 Fool (Second update, please subscribe)
Even in the 13 years at Sidley, the engineers and technicians trained by Daming every year still cannot meet the needs of its own industrial development for engineers and technicians.

Despite being in Sidley for 13 years, thanks to the rapid development of higher education, Daming has become a world science center, its science is in a leading position in the world, and there are many scientific achievements. Major scientific and technological discoveries exceed 25% of the total number of world scientific and technological discoveries in the same period , but there are "only" 77483 college students in Ming Dynasty...

Although this number is the first in the world.

But... the history owes too much, and the industrial scale of Daming has surpassed that of the United Kingdom, ranking first in the world. It only graduates less than [-] college students every year, which is far from meeting the needs of society.

It is also because of this that until 1882, Daming still imported technical personnel from European and American countries every year as in the past.Daming is still attracting scholars and engineering technicians from all over the world to emigrate to Daming with high salaries and the most perfect social welfare in this era.

And all of this is the responsibility of the Imperial Immigration Agency. As early as many years ago, the imperial government formulated immigration policies to attract urgently needed skilled immigrants. special immigration policy.

In fact, as early as the Nanhua era, Emperor Zhu began to formulate a detailed plan to find outstanding talents from Europe to accept as immigrants, and even set up a "talent group" to establish talent files of scientists, scholars and engineers from European countries. In the past 20 years, more than [-] scientists and engineers from various European countries immigrated to Ming Dynasty and became the backbone of the empire's higher education and industrial circles.During this period, there were countless scientific talents who actively immigrated to Ming Dynasty.

This is also the fundamental reason why there is a saying in Europe that "the Ming Empire bought the European intellectuals with gold dollars". The Ming Dynasty, which wields gold dollars, has never been stingy in introducing talents.

Of course, Daming was rewarded for his generosity in talent introduction. What is the biggest reward?

That is, it took Ming Dynasty less than 20 years to establish a developed higher education system, and from nothing to the establishment of the world's largest industrial system.It can be said that the empire has leveraged the most rewarding investment in the world-the rise of the country, just through the money input.

It is also because of this that the Ming Empire fully realized the importance of introducing talents. If only Emperor Zhu paid attention to it at the beginning, then everyone in the Ming Dynasty now attaches great importance to the introduction of talents, and even introduced various Various convenience measures.In order to facilitate the introduction of talents from European and American countries to the empire.

In fact, not only the government is like this, even private enterprises can also realize the importance of talents.In addition to the introduction of talents at the official level, companies will also introduce talents that are urgently needed for production.Different from the official "Talent Introduction Office", they submit the type and quantity of talents to the Talent Introduction Office of the Immigration Bureau, and then the official introduces them through the embassy abroad.This channel is extremely important for medium-sized companies that do not have a presence abroad, allowing them to address issues such as technical inadequacies.

Because of this, the embassy will always publish job advertisements in newspapers to attract those engineers, even in the United States, even between Daming and the United States, because of Hawaii and now the Cuban issue, there is a dagger in Havana At that time, in American newspapers, you can still see the recruitment information issued by the embassy.

A heavy rain that is common in Pittsburgh in summer almost made the traces of the carriage on the street disappear, but such a miracle would not last long. A few hours later, when the carriage appeared on the street again, Soon the streets will once again be covered with golden manure.

This is true whether in Pittsburgh or Sheffield.

The water pipes in the room resonated for a while, and then spouted a burst of cold water. Until now, there is still no hot water for twenty hours in the United States, unless it is a certain hotel.As usual, after washing his body with cool water, Brown shaved his face with an old-fashioned razor his father had left behind, washed up, and walked into the room.

His clothes lay flat on the bed.Gray suit, white shirt, black belt.Black tie, black top hat...all these are proofs that he is different from ordinary workers, he is an engineer, as long as he wears this clothes, he is a decent person.

Coming to the dining table, Mrs. Brown, who was preparing breakfast, said.

"Remember to mention your salary increase with Mr. Forres today."

said Mrs. Brown, who was pregnant.

"I don't want our child to live here, I hope he can live in a better environment!"

"I know, dear."

Nodding Brown picked up the newspaper. While reading the news, he also saw the job advertisement on it, so he just glanced at it.

"Now, with war declared at any time, will anyone go to Daming?"

While talking to himself, Brown believed that no fool would go to Daming from the United States.What are you doing there?If a war broke out between the United States and Ming Dynasty, the Caucasians who went there would definitely be suppressed in various ways.

Only a fool would pass by.

Brown said to himself again.Of course, this has nothing to do with him, after all, he now has a decent job.

After a busy day in the factory filled with the smell of coking coal, Brown came to Mr. Forres's office when he was about to get off work.

"Ah, Mr. Forres, is there something wrong with production?"

Standing by the hanger, Forex re-hung the clothes he had just picked up in the wall closet, and he was about to go to the nightclub to relax.

But since the engineer of the factory came, of course he couldn’t leave immediately. It was this metallurgical engineer from Shelfield who brought manganese steel to his factory—a very common alloy steel, although the technical content seemed to be Not high, but it is not what any steel factory can produce.

"Ah, no, the production is going well. There is one thing I want to report to Mr. Forres."

Brown took the notebook out of his pocket, opened it, and described his work.

"One year ago, I entered the Brown Iron and Steel Plant as an engineer. At that time, the steel plant needed 1.37 tons of coke for every ton of iron smelted. I adjusted the process and reduced the ton of coke ratio by 20%. At the same time, I also brought The production process of manganese steel has made the company's output more profitable and further increased its sales,"

"Aha, Mr. Brown, of course I know everything you said. I am very grateful for your efforts. Believe me, I have always seen it!"

Forrest laughed and joked,

"Yes sir, but unfortunately, until now, you have never considered giving me a raise, you know, I immigrated here from England a year ago, and I hope I can get a higher salary here , a better life, and now that my wife is pregnant, I hope my child can live in a better place, so..."

"Ah! Salary increase?"

Forrest frowned,
"Well, Mr. Brown, you should know that your salary is second only to Mr. James. He is the chief engineer. Your salary is only 15 dollars lower than his. How much do you hope to increase?"

"Mr. Forres, I would like a $50 increase in my salary every month!"

"What? Are you kidding me, Mr. Brown! $50 a month! If it's a year, I can think about it!"

Forrest looked at Brown in surprise, and asked back.

"Mr. Brown, you must be joking! Well, five dollars a month! And I can guarantee that in two years, you will be the chief engineer of the factory, and then..."

Whether it was his surprise or the worthless promise that fell into Brown's ears, it only made him feel a certain kind of humiliation. He suddenly stood up and said as if he had figured it out.

"By then, my child will have been born, Mr. Forres, since you don't want to, then I can only resign!"

Go to Daming!

An engineer like him could easily get a well-paid job there and live in one of those nice modern houses, definitely better than here anyway.

Staying in the United States has nothing and nothing.Only those damn factory owners who want to squeeze every last bit of value out of them.

Go Daming!
That's right, go to Daming...

What is the war between the white race and the yellow race? What does it have to do with him?It's good that Mr. Forres is white, but will he pay him more salary because he is white?

He will never be paid an extra penny in wages!
That being the case, why should he let a factory owner like Mr. Forres squeeze himself here?If you go to Daming, there may be people of yellow race there, but at least you can get fair treatment there.

Only by getting a high income can the family live in a better environment.

Yes, there is no better option than this.

As for this so-called war, it has nothing to do with him...
