Chapter 2639

Shi Diwen had a plan on how to use Zhu Zian, a special person, but he was busy with work and did not have much time to personally intervene in Zhu Zian's affairs, so the specific implementation could only be left to his subordinates.

This time, Zhu Zian was arranged to travel with the mission. On the one hand, Shi Chengwu was asked to observe his words and deeds to test whether Zhu Zian was available, and then arrange work for him after he returned. On the other hand, it was also a way to train Shi Chengwu and let him learn the skills.

How to test and appoint senior figures from the previous dynasty.

Of course, even if Zhu Zian is not useful, Shi Diwen will definitely arrange a prestigious position for him because of his status and background, such as being assigned to be an honorary vice president of Donghai Academy in Zhoushan and opening a

The professional course of Mengjingshiziji, in the future I will be a drummer in the cultural circle and write eight-part essays, which can also be regarded as a good model for the public.

But if Zhu Zian is determined to make progress and is willing to be loyal to Haihan, then a well-educated young man like him will have a lot to do in Haihan's bureaucracy. Children of the former royal family can find a decent job in the new dynasty based on their abilities.

One official and half job will definitely be a good story in the future.

Shi Chengwu's growth stage avoided the difficult years when Haihan started. It was the period when the strengths and weaknesses of the Ming Dynasty and Haihan were reversed. In his understanding, although the Ming Dynasty had a vast territory, its national power was far inferior to that of Haihan.

If it is not strong, there will be no solution to internal and external troubles. Haihan replaced him and followed the trend, which was beneficial to the people of the world.

The process of Haihan replacing Daming was relatively peaceful. In the end, the two sides resolved the power transfer issue through negotiation rather than a war to destroy the country. Therefore, he did not think that Daming was Haihan's enemy, and he had nothing to do with Zhu Zian, who was a descendant of the royal family.

Preconception. Since appointing Zhu Zian is good for Haihan, he is also happy to carry out his father's instructions and use this task to test Zhu Zian's quality.

When Shi Chengwu mentioned joining the army, he was not making fun of Zhu Zian. In the early years, most of the soldiers recruited into the Haihan Army came from immigrants seeking survival. Although these people were not bad at loyalty, they often came from poor backgrounds and had low education levels.

Therefore, the room for improvement of personal abilities is also very limited. There are a lot of people who have been in the military for many years and still cannot read military maps. Many technical positions in the military that require certain cultural levels are vacant for a long time. Therefore, even if you have military exploits,

, but if the military quality is not good enough, it will be difficult to be promoted to a senior officer.

Lack of high-quality officers makes it difficult to have a high-quality army. The Haihan Army learned from the painful experience. On the one hand, it opened a military academy and arranged for officers to receive further training to improve their military knowledge and command skills. On the other hand, it also began to recruit officers with cultural background.

Soldiers are trained into technical arms that are in serious shortage in the army, such as combat staff, navigators, communications corps, artillery sighters, military doctors, ordnance craftsmen, etc.

Shi Chengwu knew that Zhu Zian was well educated and quite smart. If he was willing to enter the military, he would probably have a better future. However, whether Zhu Zian would choose this path depends on his own wishes.

.

Zhu Zian vaguely heard the flavor of Shi Chengwu's words, and quickly bowed to thank Shi Chengwu for his advice. He did not exclude the possibility of joining the army. After all, the Haihan Army was known as the invincible in the world. Working in such a victorious army, he wanted to be promoted.

It will be easier. But he is prone to seasickness. If he is assigned to the East China Sea Fleet as a sailor, he will have to wander at sea for many years, which will really be worse than death for him.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zian stopped the idea of ​​expressing his support to Shi Chengwu. If he came to Haihan to be a navy, it would be better to stay in Shandong and be an idle landowner, at least he wouldn't have to suffer at sea.

At this time, someone came to ask Shi Chengwu for military affairs, and Zhu Zian wisely stepped aside. Although Shi Chengwu left him here to observe and learn, he was not in the military establishment, so he still had to pay attention to taboos.

Zhu Zian neither knew anything about navigation nor military affairs. Once Shi Chengwu left, no one would introduce the situation here to him. Standing here and watching other people busy, but not being able to talk to him casually, he felt a little lonely.

Zhu Zian didn't want to look too idle, so he went back to the cabin and took out a few books from his luggage. Then he returned to the command post on the bridge, found a place out of the way to sit down, and started reading.

After a while, Shi Chengwu came back from doing what he was doing. Seeing him reading here, he was a little curious. He walked up to him and asked, "Zian, what book are you reading here?"

Zhu Zian stood up quickly, presented the few books he had on hand, and explained: "I stayed in Zhoushan for a few days and had nothing to do, so I went to the bookstore in the city and bought a few books. I was not in a hurry yet.

Look, they're all on board."

Shi Chengwu originally thought he was reading another book like the Classics and History Collection, but when he took it and took a look, he couldn't help but smile.

The book Zhu Zian is looking through is "Illustrated Records of the East China Sea". The content is about the geographical conditions and customs of the East China Sea region. It also comes with many line drawings, including customs of various countries and regional maps. This book

The book is richly illustrated and beautifully printed. It was published by Sanya Publishing House two years ago.

The other two books are "Basics of Navigation" and "Taiwan Insights", as well as a copy of the latest issue of Haihan Times.

These books and newspapers can actually be found in the market in Hangzhou, but it was not convenient for Zhu Zian to go out and show his face during his stay in Hangzhou. It was not until he arrived in Zhoushan that he had time to visit a bookstore.

Zhu Zian is willing to spend money to buy these books and newspapers to take with him to read, which actually shows that he is determined to understand the culture and social conditions of Haihan in depth. With such a mentality, Shi Chengwu believes that this is a good start.

Shi Chengwu patted the book in his hand gently and asked Zhu Zian: "What do you think after reading these?"

Zhu Zian said: "If nothing else, this printing and plate-making technology is really excellent! Whether it is text or pictures, they are all printed very clearly... Especially this Haihan Times, the text on it is only the size of a soybean, but every word is

The strokes are clear and really impressive!"

Shi Chengwu smiled and said: "Printing is not important...How many of these books and newspapers have you read? Tell me what you think after reading them."

Zhu Zian said: "I have only read less than half of this "East China Sea Illustration". I only flipped through the other two when I bought the book. I haven't had time to read it carefully. I have read the newspaper, but I don't understand some of the content.

So I plan to take a closer look.”

Zhu Zinan paused and continued: "As for printing, it is actually quite important. For example, these books bought by Beizhi were enough to serve as royal tributes in the past, and they must have been expensive. But the cost of buying them in Zhoushan was extremely high.

It’s so cheap. If it weren’t for the printing skills, how could the price be reduced to this level? Only when ordinary people can afford it can the knowledge on it be spread.”
