Chapter 684 The Witness of the Era (Fourth Update, please subscribe)
Not everyone has the opportunity to become a Daming native.

The immigration principle of Ming Dynasty is very simple. In addition to the direct naturalization of Chinese, other ethnic groups, that is, women can be naturalized through marriage. In addition, it is talents from various industries. For talents from various industries in various countries, Daming has always been welcoming with both hands.After all, the development of Ming Dynasty is inseparable from foreign intelligence input. In fact, until 1874, foreign professors accounted for more than 70% of Ming’s colleges and universities, and foreigners or naturalized people were common in various industries. Some of them are engineers, some are technical experts, and some are managers.

Li Bai, if you only look at his name, he must be from China, but in reality?He was a Bavarian who had been employed by Lady Elisabeth in Buenos Aires fourteen years earlier when he was William Hansen.Then he went to Nanhua, which was just a deserted beach at that time.

And now?

This is already the most prosperous city in the southern hemisphere.

In the morning, as usual, while having breakfast and reading the newspaper, Li Bai listened to his son talking to him.

"Father, the school informed me yesterday that I will go to the base for half a month of training. When the time comes, I won't be coming back."

While eating breakfast, Li Mu said that although he spoke fluent Chinese, he had blond hair like his father. He was seventeen years old and basically grew up in Nanhua.

If you don't look at his appearance, you won't think he is of European descent.

"Well, remember to pay attention to safety during base training."

The course arrangement of middle school students in Ming Dynasty is different from that of other countries. They have to undergo military training for half a month every semester. As an old South Chinese, Li Bai knows very well that Ming is training middle school students by training junior officers. Nanhua's habits have not changed until now.

"I know, Dad, it's not the first time I went to the base, it's just a simple training."

After a few simple exhortations with his son, after breakfast, Li Bai went to the company in the "Maxima" car driven by his driver as usual.

When it was almost nine o'clock in the morning, Li Bai came to his office at the top of the Northern Mining Company, and his secretary Zhao Guoshu followed him in.

"What's the current situation in the mine in the north?"

When Li Bai took off his coat and hung it in the wardrobe attached to the wall, he asked.Zhao Guoshu flicked the notebook he took out from his pocket, opened it, and told that he had just received a telegram.

"Deputy Manager, the output of Beihai Coal Mine exceeded 70 tons last month, and it is expected to exceed 800 million tons this year. There must be no problem."

"Um,"

Nodding his head, Li Bai continued.

"The coal mines in the North Sea are very important to the empire. They are related to the safety of the empire's fuel supply. The output must be guaranteed. It should be very cold in the North Sea right now!"

"Yes, there has been snowfall at the end of last month, and the temperature has dropped to minus [-] degrees now. Although it has a certain impact on the production of the open-pit mine, as in the past, the working hours have been extended there, and the output is still OK. Guaranteed."

Of course, the Northern Territory of Ming Dynasty also implemented the same labor laws as Ming Dynasty.But the labor law is only for Daming people.Those "contract laborers" are of course not within the scope of protection of the labor laws of the Ming Dynasty. After all, they all came from the colonies. Of course, the laws of this country give priority to the protection of its own citizens. Otherwise, would it be possible to give priority to the protection of foreigners?

"Um,"

Li Bai nodded without any expression. The mines in Beihai Governor's District are different from other places. There are a large number of foreign laborers there. Overtime and overtime are of course normal things.

"How is the progress of the Moyuhe Coal Mine?"

Moyuhe Coal Mine is a coal mine that the company has just put into operation, and it is a large mine with an annual output of 200 million tons of coking coal.For Daming, who is fully promoting the development of the steel industry, the importance of that coal mine is self-evident.

"I was just about to report this matter to you. The coal mine sent a call, asking the company to send at least 100 more technicians there, and asked for 10 steam shovel drivers by name."

What is the most lacking thing in the Northern Territory of Ming Dynasty?
Still human!Not only is there a lack of ordinary labor, but also technical personnel.

"I see. Coordinate with the school. Send people there as soon as possible. The coal in Moyu River is high-quality coal suitable for coking. There is a huge demand in China!"

After thinking about it, Li Bai said.

"If the students don't want to go, they can increase their salary. Although Beihai is not as prosperous as Nanhua, as long as the salary is in place, they will definitely be willing to go, and they can also entrust the employment agency to recruit some employees. These days Nian Beihai is no longer the Beihai of the past, and Nanhua was just a beach with nothing in those days, people must have foresight!"

One must have a vision!
As far as Li Bai is concerned, until now he is thankful for his choice at the beginning. If he hadn't made the right choice, how could he have become the deputy manager of the mining company?
Even when he was in the office, looking out the window, and looking at this bustling city, Li Bai felt like a dream.

Only a mere ten years later, it has become the largest and most prosperous city in the southern hemisphere.And he is the witness of all this.

……

In fact, there are many witnesses in Nanhua, and Zhao Qihang is also a witness, but in his memory, there are more schools.

He was an orphan, and his parents died in the war. In 1861, at the age of 5, he was sent on board by the Taiping Army like everyone else, and then he arrived in Nanhua. All the anxiety in his heart was quickly eliminated after arriving in Nanhua. up.

In Nanhua, he entered the Armed Forces School with other orphans. They studied and lived in the school. In the next ten years, the school was his home, and the classmates in the school were his brothers and sisters.

In the early morning, standing in front of the school gate, Zhao Qihang was a little hesitant. He wanted to go home and have a look before leaving.

"Why? If you want to go, go in and have a look. After all, this is our home."

While speaking, Wang Feng took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed one to Zhao Qihang. He looked at the inconspicuous gate of the school and said.

"I……"

Zhao Qihang said with some embarrassment.

"After graduating from middle school, I have achieved nothing, not to mention college, I even took the college entrance examination three times. I don't know what to say when I meet them..."

Even when he said these words, he felt a little embarrassed.

"So? You have to be successful before you can go home?"

Wang Feng gave his brother who was two years younger than him, and said with a smile.

"Anyway, this is our home. Those who are good or bad, well, they are all... His Majesty's children."

Yes, they are all His Majesty's children. This school for raising orphans was founded by His Majesty himself. Until now, His Majesty is still the principal, and the Queen also comes to the school every month. Your Majesty and the Queen are their parents.

"It can't be said that because we didn't study well, we changed our identity."

"Yes, our identities cannot be changed. We are all His Majesty's children. Everyone in Ming Dynasty knows that the children in the Armed Forces School are the best, but what about me?"

The children who came out of Daming Armed Forces School have achieved quite good results in various industries. After all, this school is the first modern school in Daming. More than half of the children who graduated from here have been admitted to universities and junior colleges. Naturally, Played their role in all walks of life.

There was even a saying in Ming Dynasty that "every soldier is a talented person".Of course, not everyone is like this, at least Zhao Qihang thinks he has failed.

That's why he stood in front of the house, hesitating.

"Military equipment is excellent, but I... am not!"

Shaking his head, Zhao Qihang said as if he had made up his mind.

"I won't go to school today, third brother, when I come back next time, let's go to see Mama Li and the others together. I have already found a job and went to the Northern Territory. Although it is a little far away, the salary It’s not low, and there are jobs.”

After finishing speaking, he waved at Wang Feng, carried his luggage and walked towards the tram that had just entered the station without hesitation. Just as he was about to get on the train, Wang Feng also jumped on it.

"Go, I'll see you off."

After getting in the car, the two sat in the car like this, silently looking out of the car window, looking at the bustling people outside the car window, they were rushing to their respective posts...
