Chapter 010 Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau

It is clearly stated above - to enrich the country and strengthen the military, to learn from the West and to adopt Western methods. Now, we are recruiting talented individuals and skilled craftsmen from Jiangnan to study advanced Western technologies and to experiment with the construction of steamships and artillery

As the sky began to darken, the two were about to return when Lu Yao suddenly noticed that many people were gathered around the bulletin board, pointing and discussing.

Whether it is a show or a genuine thirst for talent, the attitude has been expressed, sparking a wave of discussion among the public

On the road, Lu Yao curiously asked, "By the way, do you know that Lord Du?"

Liao Qi was just about to respond when a gentle voice came through: "Let me tell you instead."

You two have been gone for such a long time, I am worried and came out to take a look. Did you encounter Lord Du?

Liao Qi interjected: "Sister, you are only 18 years old. With Lu Yao's help, you will definitely be able to cleanse your marrow before you turn 20, or even undergo a blood transfusion!"

I, Du Wenlan, currently serve as the General Manager of the Jiangnan Arsenal. As stated in the announcement, we urgently require skilled craftsmen and knowledgeable individuals who are proficient in foreign technologies! Those who contribute to the nation will surely be generously rewarded by the court

In a world where extraordinary powers exist, how would the script differ

Liao Qi looked at the dazzling and glamorous streets with great envy. Although her outfit was quite form-fitting, it appeared somewhat rustic in comparison.

From current affairs news to entertainment gossip, and even business information, there is a wide array of content available. A newsboy will deliver it to your door every day

Lu Yao Dao: "I understand now, Senior Sister. Your enemies are my enemies; if there is anything you need, just let me know!"

The interaction between the two drew the attention of those nearby. As soon as a few individuals who had been cursing just moments ago saw Lord Du, their expressions changed dramatically, and they hurriedly slipped into the crowd, disappearing from sight

This enmity cannot be shared under the same sky! The Sea Dragon Gang, having suffered significant losses, has been seeking trouble with our sisters. However, they do not dare to enter the state capital, so as long as we do not go to the docks, we will be fine

As soon as the words fell, a graceful figure descended from the sky, it was Liao Ya

Lu Yao was shocked and thought: "No, it's nothing, just asking..."

Fuzhou has also established the Maritime Administration, which is expected to build a naval force

Liao Ya's serious expression faded as she gently said: "Having you make me take medicine until I am full every day is the greatest help. Only by mastering martial arts can I seek revenge"

He has a good understanding of this period of history, as it is a必考 topic in modern history for the college entrance examination

Lu Yao and Liao Qi did not continue to watch the commotion, but hurried home instead. At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and it was getting dark. One could not rely on the public security in the city.

After glancing at the purchased cordyceps, I decided to return as soon as possible to settle the financial matter

Mr. Du did not attend to them and personally came to the notice board to post a brand new announcement

... ...

Liao Qi merely clasped her fists in salute and did not approach

Liao Ya glared and said solemnly: "While following Lord Lin to eradicate the opium trade, my father offended countless smuggling gangs, among which was the Hai Long Gang! The Hai Long Gang has harmed countless people with opium, and they colluded with foreign opium companies to set a trap that led to my father's death"

After criticizing the declining moral standards of society, Lu Yao went to the newspaper office and subscribed to four newspapers in one go: Shenzhou Daily, Current Affairs Daily, Overseas Daily, and Commercial Daily

It is much more prosperous here, with newsstands lining both sides of the street, and the cries of newspaper vendors rising and falling.

He then said to Liao Qi: "I will go back to get some things, and I won't be sleeping here tonight. By the way, what shoe sizes do you both wear? Also, please tell me your measurements."

Middle-aged individuals, look over here, force a smile on your face, and nod in greeting

At 16, it looks like this! The two sisters are tall, both at eye level with each other, and their figures are notably curvy, with prominent busts and rounded backsides, even those who are physically weak can be stirred by worldly desires

The more one understands, the colder one's heart becomes, after all, one is caught in the tide of this chaotic world

But Liao Ya immediately said: "Speaking of which, there is one thing you must know—never approach the dock, we have enemies!"

Liao Ya set the targets, while Liao Qi regretted with a bitter expression—wondering why she had to speak out

At this point, the young woman gasped a few times, and it took her a while to calm her emotions

They have raised taxes again! The court is trying to drive us to our deaths!

... ...

The two also saw the tax increase notice that had been harshly criticized, and Liao Qi frowned as she said, "I don't know what the court is thinking; the world is becoming increasingly chaotic"

As soon as the two approached, they heard a series of curses

... ...

At this time, the Dashun Dynasty bears a striking resemblance to the last dynasty of the Blue Planet. It has suffered consecutive defeats in foreign wars, leading to multiple instances of territorial concessions and indemnities. A portion of the rulers have come to recognize the power of the Western warships and cannons, and have begun to learn advanced technologies

This person is dressed in a brocade robe, adorned like a wealthy gentleman, yet exudes an imposing aura, commanding respect without anger. It is evident that he is someone who has held a high position for a long time, accompanied by several attendants for protection.

Trams can still be seen. The speed is very slow, allowing people to jump on at any time. The tram uses a bell instead of a horn, ringing as it departs.

It is all well and good, as long as we drive all the foreigners away

Liao Qi obediently said: "Well, he is currently the General Manager of Jiangnan Arsenal."

Lu Yao whispered, "When a nation is about to perish, absurdity reigns everywhere"

Upon returning to the boxing gym, Lu Yao curiously asked Liao Qi: "Your sister is only 18 years old, how old are you?"

The crowd is dressed in a fashionable manner, predominantly in Western-style clothing, dresses, and high-slit qipaos

It is said that the empress dowager is celebrating her birthday, which is why the taxes have been increased

A middle-aged man displayed a complex expression of shame, guilt, and anger on his face, and let out a long sigh

Ah? What enemy?

Lu Yao could not help but exclaim: The development of martial artists is truly remarkable

Having said this, he clasped his hands in front of the crowd and proceeded with his attendants to the next location

... ...

Do not just point at me, you must not be negligent either! Starting tomorrow, the training time for boxing will be doubled

Liao Qi, noticing him, exclaimed in surprise: "Lord Du!"

So that's how it is. Only then did the author understand the journey of the book.

At this moment, the crowd surrounded the bulletin board, and the air was filled with incessant shouts and curses of indignation

As the crowd curiously gathered around, Lu Yao instantly recognized the familiar "Jiangnan Shipyard" and immediately realized that this was the famous - Self-Strengthening Movement

Liao Ya nodded and said to Lu Yao: "Back in the day, Du Daren worked under Lin Daren alongside my father, and they experienced the 'smoke extinguishing' incident, which is why there is some lingering affection."

Mr. Du affixed the notice and proclaimed in a loud voice

In this world, women's attire presents two extremes: either it is very retro and conservative, with not a hint of skin exposed; or it is exceptionally revealing, with thighs and half of the buttocks on display without a care.

The two individuals arrived at Wangping Street, known as "Newspaper Street".

The girl replied: "Me? I am 16, what's wrong?"

Outrageous! In order to seek peace, the court has ceded territory and paid compensation, giving the foreigners hundreds of thousands of taels of silver! This wicked woman actually has the audacity to celebrate her birthday!

The government will set up notice boards in areas with dense crowds to post announcements, at which time it is unknown what major news has emerged

This is a style of clothing that has been transmitted from the northern region of "Manchuria," known for its sensual elegance and considerable popularity

I have heard that several officials in the court wish to 'learn from the strengths of the barbarians to control the barbarians', and I did not expect that the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau would be established so soon
