Without Xiao Letian's eyes closed, Fuhui would definitely not be able to steal this drawing. It is even possible that this drawing was something Xiao Letian deliberately let Fuhui see!

Why is the railway planning map of the Qing Dynasty in the future in the hands of Xiao Letian? This statement has become longer and indirectly verifies Xiao Letian's long-term layout!

In fact, Xiao Letian had just become the Prime Minister of Ryukyu. When he returned to Tanggu to fight the first Tanggu siege, it was when Sun Sanhu, Jiao Siye and others made the most violent fuss!

Xiao Letian had secretly invited people to Europe and the United States to invite many unsuccessful geologists and surveyors. At that time, the American Civil War had just ended and everything was in trouble. People's salary was very low. Many engineers in geological exploration earned only a few dozen dollars a month, not more than a hundred dollars!

Moreover, jobs are very difficult to find. Except for some railway companies that have positions they work for, other industries basically do not need such talents!

There are only a group of professors in the university, and Xiao Letian doesn’t expect to hire such high-level talents. He entrusted the Carnegie family to carefully select a group of engineers. His level is definitely not as good as that of professors and scholars in the university, but he is more than ordinary technicians!

This level is a perfect talent in Asia. You don’t have to give you an extra $200 a month, so you can control food and accommodation. If you have the ability to take care of your apprentice, then you will have $500 a month. It depends on whether you have the ability to make money!

This was at the end of the 19th century. The purchasing power of the US dollar was so high, because the US dollar was directly linked to gold at that time, and that was the real US dollar!

According to rumors, the price of killing a killer in the United States is only about fifty dollars, which shows how high the value of the currency was at that time!

There must be brave men under the heavy rewards. A large number of European and American exploration experts rushed to Ryukyu. Their work was mainly two major parts. One was to carry out a map work across East Asia with the assistance of the Chinese!

On the other hand, it is to teach and help the Chinese people cultivate a steady stream of talents!

Never underestimate the map. In Xiao Letian's previous life, when the warlords fought in the early years of the Republic of China, warlords everywhere relied on old maps from the Guangxu period to fight, but the most detailed and accurate maps in Asia at that time were in the hands of the Japanese!

Since the victory of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, Japan has invested in surveying and mapping China's mountains and rivers for decades, and has produced two complete maps for military and civilian purposes!

Why did the Japanese army make rapid progress in the early stages of the war? It also took advantage of the map to a large extent!

Needless to say, military maps are necessary for wars. Without an accurate map, artillery will not be able to carry out coordinate bombing!

Civil maps are more important. Such exploration teams are generally equipped with geological prospecting experts, who will use their rich experience to mark some hidden minerals!

Even if you don’t have the time and energy to explore carefully, you will mark the possible speculative probability on the map, which will be of great help to future economic development!

A high salary of several hundred dollars a month can attract so many talents. This is a great deal!

After years of geological exploration, more than 40,000 people have been engaged in map mapping in Asia for a long time!

Is it a terrifying number? Because in the initial European and American engineers set up some training groups and night schools for a high salary of more than 500 yuan per month!

Under the guidance of words and deeds, a large number of young talents from the Chinese people have been involved in this industry. In the end of 1869, these loose training groups were officially combined to establish the Chinese University of Geosciences!

Map surveying, mineral exploration, water conservancy, roads, oceans...even jewelry majors are established in this university!

Chinese education adopts the method of oppression and quick success of humans! The threshold for entering university in Chinese is very loose, but the threshold for going out is too strict!

If you are not a real talent, don’t want to get a diploma. Moreover, Chinese education has never had winter and summer vacations, and there is no time to rest. Everything here is extremely Spartan, so you will never play hedonistic with you!

After entering the university, you either get rich or get out of here. The best place to feel comfortable is the cemetery!

This is the consensus of the Chinese education community and their motto!

There is no way. China's technological level is hundreds of years away from Europe and the United States. How can we catch up without such desperate tricks? It is under such high-pressure education that a group of talents have been trained!

Xiao Letian really wants to thank the tenacity of the ancient Chinese people in this era. He is truly able to endure hardships. He believes from the bottom of his heart that "there is a road in the mountain of books and diligence is the path, and the sea of ​​knowledge is endless and hardship is the boat."

With such a harsh study as hell, more than 80% of the students can survive and get very good scores!

As expected, people are bitter insects. There is only blessings that cannot be enjoyed, and there is no suffering that cannot be endured!

The high-paying talents poached from Europe and the United States and the large number of students they have trained have made the geological surveying and mapping work in Asia very rapid!

Now the most accurate and detailed high-scale maps in the Qing Dynasty are collected in the Chinese CIA. The second-class ones are hidden in the University of Geosciences, and the third-class ones are circulated on the market.

But this third-class map has already surpassed the Qing Dynasty map by a hundred streets! How to go about the railway routes of the Qing Dynasty in the future? Only those who listen to the Chinese people, because only Chinese people have first-hand information!

Zaichun had no choice because he had no time. If he was looking for someone to survey and map and explore again, even if he used the best British engineer, such a project would not be able to be completed in less than three to five years!

Even the British were helpless. People from the British Embassy had seen the third-class map provided by the Chinese. They said with great regret, "With such a map, it is a waste of resources for us to survey and map again!"

Through a series of private secret transactions, Xiao Letian took away 3% of all shares of the Qing Dynasty Railway by providing data on the railway construction map alone.

The map Fuhui discovered was the construction sketch of the railways in Zhili, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces, and it was also the first official railway to be invested in and built in the Qing Dynasty!

Even Zai Chun hasn't seen such a detailed version, but Fu Hui has stole a copy of it for the family. This is the most important top-secret business information. Zhu Bao knew the weight of this map and put it in his arms without saying a word and turned his head away!

A small picture hides a huge market of hundreds of millions or even billions of taels of silver!

Fuhui watched her nephew leave, and she felt as if a big stone was removed in her heart. He leaned on the pillar powerlessly and whispered, "Fucha family, I can only help you get to this point. I have to rely on you in the future..."

Turning his head and looking at the familiar figure behind the window frame in the study, Fuhui burst into tears, "Thank you! I know I can't hide anything from you, I deserve your friendship..."

When a husband and wife have a heart-to-heart talk, there is no need to say a lot of things. It is all clear if you just need a single eye movement!

Note: Brothers and sisters, see if there are any recommendation tickets and gold bricks in your account, and you can throw them all over!
