Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1155 The Hope of the Empire

The transformation and construction of the Siberian industrial zone made Guan Xuqing so concerned.The reason is that the development and construction of industrial zones will directly affect whether China can take the lead in the future world war.In Guan Xuqing's strategic plan, the construction of the Siberian industrial zone will bring the armed forces of the Chinese army to a new level.The original two industrial bases in the northeast and northwest can no longer meet the needs of the military expansion, and the production capacity of the military industry is almost saturated. It can be said that the biggest constraint on the modernization and reorganization of the Chinese military has now become increasingly saturated factories with insufficient production capacity. .

The emergence of this situation is not because Guan Xuqing and his officials did not think carefully, but because there is a gap between the speed of the development and expansion of the Dragon Army and the speed of domestic production capacity expansion.Under the existing industrial production capacity, after completing the expansion of the six main group armies and the production and consumption of equipment, the original two industrial areas still need to undertake various supporting productions required for the production and construction of other domestic industries. Now The production capacity can no longer support more military expansion.

After the completion of the first phase of the Northeast Industrial Zone, the annual output of steel and iron can reach 300 million tons and more than 500 million tons respectively. On the surface, such output is very large, but looking at the whole country, it is still very little. It is possible to put all these steels into the construction of the army, but it is impossible to use all of them to produce tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft and cannons, and the navy, which consumes the most steel, consumes thousands of tons of steel for a single warship. Tons, not to mention those scraps, but also the loss of various parts from blanks to finished products. After this calculation, the output of several million tons is nothing at all.What's more, part of it has to be used for domestic economic construction, and the amount that can really be used to produce military products is already very small.If it weren't for the support of some small steel factories in the northwest industrial area and other provinces, once a war breaks out in the future, industrial production will seriously restrict the military power of the empire.In a sense, the war of this era has gradually evolved to see who throws more steel at the other side, and which side throws more and faster, then the balance of war will be tilted towards which side.

And if the transformation and expansion plan of the Siberian industrial zone cannot be completed on schedule, it will inevitably affect the size of China's profits in future wars. Sometimes Guan Xuqing can't wait to have such a few large industrial zones. A heavy mechanized group army can equip at least five aircraft carrier groups with more than two large aircraft carriers and more than eight missile ships.But he knows that the construction of each large-scale industrial zone cannot be accomplished overnight. Not only does the construction of each industrial zone require a lot of funds, but also the infrastructure construction also takes time; traffic roads need to be paved kilometer by kilometer, water supply and power supply facilities It also needs to be built step by step, and everything needs to be completed in a solid manner. Rome was not built in a day. It only has such a small amount of industrial production capacity now, and it must make good use of these production capacities to maximize its benefits.

What they visited in Northeast China this time is not just the achievements of industrial construction. At the temporary request of Guan Xuqing, the visiting team also made a surprise inspection of the achievements of the education system. It is gratifying that so far, no one has dared to touch it. In the future, the country hopes to build a high-tension line of funds and materials.In Guan Xuqing's administrative system, corruption and corruption are not without occurrence. Although the amount and quantity are still small, the misappropriation and corruption of special education funds and materials is definitely a high-voltage line that can never be touched.The daily food subsidies for the students and the funds for the construction of the education system can only be earmarked. Anyone who wants to put these funds and materials into their own pockets will be burned to ashes by this high-voltage line.

Guan Xuqing randomly selected a relatively remote school for spot checks, and noticed that the head of the local educational institution had a somewhat unnatural expression on his face. Guan Xuqing, who found Ni Duan, immediately increased the number of spot checks on the local basic education system. Led by the person in charge of the institution, he walked for two hours on the jungle path, and came to this simple primary school built with wood and earthen embryos. Then the person in charge of the local education institution had the courage to spit out his bitterness to the emperor: "The emperor , if we can have a little more funds, our students will not be taught in this dark classroom without glass, and our teachers will not worry about not having more textbooks and teaching materials; in this simple school, four Students of two grades are crowded into one classroom, hotter than a steamer in summer, and colder than an icehouse in winter, but in the eyes of these students and teachers, it is most urgent to have more teaching materials and books to enrich their vision. something to look forward to."

Guan Xuqing did not scold the person in charge. Of course he knew that due to the national economic construction and military construction, as well as the consumption caused by expansion, education funds have been squeezed to a marginal warning line. After all, the future hopes of tens of millions of students have been shattered. Guan Xuqing is sometimes really conflicted about achieving the great wars in the next few years, or low-key achieving the hegemony of the empire 30 years later. With so much money, manpower and material resources on hand, Guan Xuqing is sometimes really contradictory.

Sitting in the dark and cold classroom, Guan Xuqing felt the severe cold of Siberia. The students used the firewood collected in their spare time to burn the brazier to keep warm, but they could not stop the severe cold.

"Students, the theme of our lesson today is: my dream." Standing behind a podium made up of a few logs and boards, the only principal, teacher, and head teacher of the school began Had the first class of the day.

"Teacher, I want to be a construction engineer. I will definitely make this place warm in winter!" A student with frostbite on all ten fingers was the first to tell his dream.

"Teacher, I want to be an official. I want to be a high-ranking official. After I become an official, I will build this school into the best school in this area. We can study in warm classrooms in winter, and in cool classrooms in summer." Read a book."

"Teacher, I want to be a clown in a circus." The last student spoke out his dream with a bit of embarrassment. His dream made everyone laugh, and he shrank his head lower in embarrassment. However, the simple desk could not cover his thin body.

"Students, although Gregory's dream is nothing compared to yours, do you still remember the film that the film projection team came to our school to show?" The teacher did not scold such a small dream, but asked about other things. one question.

"Remember, it's the movie performed by the actor who wears a top hat, wears big pants, has a mustache under his nose, and walks like a penguin!" The students replied one after another.

"Are you calling him a clown?"

"Yes!"

"no!"

The students quickly argued about the role of the film master Chaplin. Those who agreed that he was a clown thought his performance was a clown, while those who disagreed believed that he was a movie actor. The dispute was fierce.

"Stop, stop, in fact, whether Master Chaplin is playing a clown or not, but he really brought us laughter, students, I am very glad that you have such a great dream, but we can't laugh at it Those students who only have very small dreams, because no matter what their dreams are, as long as they serve and contribute to mankind, then they are great. Here, I wish Gregory’s dreams will come true as soon as possible. May you Bring laughter to the whole world!"

Enthusiastic applause rang out, echoing in the simple and airy classroom, applauding not only the students in the classroom, but also Guan Xuqing and the accompanying officials.

After class, the students went to the cafeteria to eat. In fact, the cafeteria is just a simple stove built with stones and soil embryos. After receiving the rice noodles, the students will cook under the leadership of the older students. Every student is working on the fire, cooking, and chopping vegetables.From the first day of entering the school, these students have been instilled by the old students that they can't wait, rely on, and take everything. As long as they can do what they can, they must work with everyone. Here, the students understand equality, common prosperity, and collective values. idea.

After checking that the food subsidy from the state had not been deducted, Guan Xuqing felt a little satisfied.Due to the different conditions and standards in different places, the food subsidies in different places are used to purchase meals by themselves after the funds are distributed. In some places, education units at the county and city levels are selected for distribution after unified procurement.Here, a batch of grain, oil, rice and noodles are delivered from the state every week due to limited conditions.Meat can only be delivered in non-perishable seasons like winter, while in other seasons, meat and poultry such as salted fish, eggs, fresh chickens and ducks are chosen to supplement the students' protein.

"Your class is good. You know how to mobilize students' enthusiasm for independent learning." Guan Xuqing came to the teacher who was born.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I learned this from my teacher. You can't simply point out students' unrealistic wishes and ideals, but learn how to guide them in judging which things are right and which are wrong." After seeing Guan Xuqing, he didn't lose his composure with excitement, but talked with the giant calmly, just like two old friends talking easily and freely.

"According to your years of work, you should be at the level of a principal." Guan Xuqing was a little surprised. From the introduction of his entourage, he learned that this teacher was actually the first batch of teachers trained since East Siberia belonged to China. These students are either state officials or the management of some factory unit. Few of them are as unknown as him.
