Whether it is ancient times or modern times, whether it is an electronics factory or an Internet company, people are always limited and pursue large institutions. Only places like this are more promising. If you can join the Fortune 500, that is the biggest dream of many graduates.
The shipbuilding industrial zone in Hangzhou is equivalent to the "Top 500" in later generations at Lingzhou University.
Although there are only two colleges, the total number of educated young people produced every year may not be more than that of a larger middle school in Li Sheng's time.
But then again, there is no "Fortune 500" in this era. The shipbuilding industrial zone in Hangzhou is first-class in terms of its scale and the treatment given to its craftsmen and shipwrights, so it is naturally attractive.
Not only were Asmin and the maid recruited, Wu Meiniang also made special conditions for the two of them.
As long as you two are willing to serve under our account in the industrial zone, although I cannot guarantee that you will return to Persia and become king again in the future, our industrial zone will still grant you the title of a prince.
The industrial zone itself naturally does not have the authority to grant titles to anyone, but that is only on the surface...
…
"Still encouraging??"
Wei Zheng's face was full of suspicion, and the expression on his face was either that he didn't understand, or simply couldn't understand.
What Li Sheng said is outrageous!
Not only him, but also this glance from the corner of his eye...
Sure enough, in the circle of people around him, besides myself, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, these two old fools, and the most lovely His Majesty Li Er...
They are all confused!
I am confused and don’t know what year it is today...
What Li Sheng said did not sound like human words at all.
Hangzhou Shipbuilding Industrial Zone is about to set up "branch offices" overseas - of course this new term just came out of Li Sheng's mouth, but that's not important. Li Er, Wei Zheng and others have also heard of similar concepts.
——Isn’t this the semicolon issued by merchants?
Nothing surprising.
This time Li Er also felt that he had not been to Lingzhou for a long time. After all, it was the border of the empire... It was objectively not good to not visit often. After all, the sky was high and the emperor was far away. Subjectively, it was difficult to rest assured that it had been so long.
It's time.
And... most importantly, you must also take a look at the railway that recently ran from Chang'an to Lingzhou, then to the Anxi Protectorate, and finally passed through the most difficult area.
Some local natives call that area "Dijinze", while Li Sheng calls it "Pamir Plateau".
It doesn't matter, but the point is... Li Er was born in Guanlong, and knew a lot of soldiers from all walks of life in the northwest. He also knew that that place was a truly perfect interpretation of the four words "difficulties and dangers".
Now that the railway has been repaired...the army has also been transported smoothly, which proves the reliability of the railway.
But the railway thing... is the same as a steam train.
This train departs from Chang'an.
The first moment I saw that thing...
The shock it brought to Li Er, Li Er probably... will never forget in his life.
Even as a person who is used to seeing countless piles of corpses on the battlefield, I have to admit that that thing is too terrifying.
Whether it was the extremely distant roar or the vibrating and impacting sound of steel like an ancient ferocious beast, Li Er felt shocked like never before.
That day, for the first time in history, the people of Chang'an faced an existence other than His Majesty the Emperor in front of His Majesty the Emperor...
Congratulations!
But Li Er didn't stop him, because... he almost started to worship...
This thing is so outrageous!
But I was shocked when I saw it at first sight, and at that time I saw it even more closely.
When Li Er reached the top of the city and looked at it from a distance, another feeling came into his heart.
The train has already left. This railway... was quite strong when I first saw it, matching the huge steel car very well.
Why is it that when I look at it from a high place, I always feel that the railway is so thin and fragile...
Li Er, who couldn't help but worry about the railway situation after much thought, naturally made the last choice: come and inspect it in person.
In the final analysis, regardless of whether it is shocking or not, this railway is indeed the key lifeline of Datang's two current strategies.
One of the two major strategies is sea trade, and the other is the tens of thousands of forbidden troops currently stationed outside the country's borders.
If something happens to this railway, the Imperial Army will not only immediately cut off their food route, but they will also have no way to retreat...
How could Li Er be so easily reassured? So he brought the ministers over to see it in person.
Of course, Mr. Li had wanted to come a long time ago, but in those days, he was trying his best to raise food, clothing, luggage... In short, all kinds of supplies for the frontline forbidden troops. Even if he was worried, he could only trust the countless ministers under his command.
This is the difficult part of being a leader. Even if you are worried, sometimes you should trust others, so you have to trust others.
But after all, as soon as the busiest time passed, Li Er immediately rushed to Lingzhou in person.
After coming...
In addition to watching the railway construction along the way, how is it? Is it solid and stable? Apart from such questions, the most important source of information is naturally Li Sheng...
While chatting with Li Sheng, Li Er even came up with a very nonsense idea. Why don't he never recognize Li Sheng and just become a hereditary Duke... After all, as "Old Li", he chatted with Li Sheng.
It is really not easy to have a window to understand the grassroots level and understand how the military and political undertakings are operating apart from the official documents and data.
Chatting with reliable local people like Li Sheng in a private capacity is one of the best ways to understand the grassroots and front-line situations.
But as we chat...
Regarding the railway matter, Li Er was relieved.
After arriving, I got a "confession" from Li Sheng, and then I realized that this railway was not run by Li Sheng alone. The team involved was huge, and it was also a project that Li Sheng had been eyeing. Li Sheng himself also attached great importance to the railway!
Can something that Li Sheng himself attaches great importance to go wrong?
Li Er, Wei Zheng and others all had the same first reaction: absolutely impossible.
Since the railway is fine, then...
After crossing the Pamir Plateau, there is no need to worry about the new "Northern Things"!
The lifeline of the railway seemed thin and fragile, but in fact... Li Er wanted to laugh when he thought of the foreign monarchs who looked like country bumpkins who had never seen the world.
The strength represented by the transportation capacity of this lifeline is definitely far beyond the imagination of all foreign forces!
But don’t worry about things here. After you feel relieved...
Then Li Er talked to Li Sheng about the sea. After all, it was also a great cause of the family and the country.
As a result of this conversation, Li Er was so shocked that he almost jumped up on the spot——
It’s okay if the industrial zone opens an overseas branch, but you Li Sheng said...
"Allow him to raise his own soldiers to build an army and build his own temples and communities" - what does that mean???
