Chapter 769: The Ming Dynasty Moves Toward a New Era
After leaving at dusk, Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhang Dingbian, "Don't you think it's strange." ”
Zhang Dingbian recited a Buddha name in a low voice, and said bluntly: "It's a little, in fact, the current Ming Dynasty is really good, the vastness of the territory is not inferior to the Han and Tang Dynasties, it is still on it, and the wealth of the people's livelihood is not inferior to the rich Song Dynasty." In such a situation, Daming actually only needs to do one more thing: solve Warat and Uliangha, and then there will be a hundred years of peace, but why do you still stare at the distant Lancang Kingdom, if I am not mistaken, His Majesty Yongle probably still wants to fight the Western Regions to operate, but this move is really good, Sheng Tang also played the Western Regions, but what is the outcome later, we all know the beginning and end of the Anxi Protectorate - from Daming Taiyuan, it is impossible to completely control it for tens or hundreds of years. ”
Yao Guangxiao bowed his head, "Indeed, the Great Song Dynasty doesn't mention it, he has no heart, he doesn't even have the heart, and he doesn't have the slightest idea about the Western Regions, Yuan Dynasty...... It can be fought, and it can be fought far away, but it is just a fight, and it is not cured, what is martial arts? ”
In fact, the current Han people have a very low sense of recognition of the Yuan Dynasty.
Not many people will be proud that the Yuan Dynasty fought far enough.
After a pause, Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "If I have both the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty and the economy of the Great Song Dynasty, in such a situation, can't I run the Western Regions?" ”
Zhang Dingbian thought thoughtfully, "Is the current Ming Dynasty richer than the Great Song Dynasty?" ”
He hadn't been in contact with the household department, so he didn't know much about it.
Yao Guangxiao smiled, "Maybe the Great Song Dynasty is not rich at the moment, but in ten years at most, the Ming Dynasty will catch up with the Great Song Dynasty economically, of course, I don't mean the money in the treasury." ”
In fact, at the moment the treasury is empty.
In other words, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty has not been rich in the past few years, and basically the money has been used by Zhu Di, including the money that Zheng He earned when he went to the West, and he also spent it all.
To measure whether a country has money or not, the treasury is an important indicator.
For example, in the famous reign of Wenjing in history, the coins piled up in the treasury were kept for too long, and the ropes that strung the money were rotten, and the Han Dynasty was very rich at that time.
But the current Ming Dynasty is definitely more desirable than the Han Dynasty at the time of the reign of Wenjing.
Under the leadership of Times Commercial Bank and with the acquiescence of Zhu Di, the private economy has shown a thriving attitude, coupled with the talent support of the two Fuyao halls of Yingtian and Shuntian, the progress of all walks of life is obvious to all.
Far from mentioning, let's just say that one of the "electric power firms" established before the Times Trading Company achieved great success this year through long-term experiments, improving the light bulb, and the luminous filament is no longer made of distilled bamboo, but is made of a metal material with a special material.
The longer it lasts, the brighter the light.
Of course, it needs to be improved.
However, this alone made a lot of money for Times Commercial Bank.
With the measures of the Department of Health Reform, the population of Daming has shown a blowout in the past two years, the survival rate of newborns has increased significantly, and the proportion of adults dying from diseases such as typhoid fever has also dropped significantly.
Although the treasury of a country is empty, its population is huge, and the people have money, such a country is not rich?
Hide the wealth from the people!
What's more, Daming is now fully developing firearms, and he is not afraid of war.
Therefore, it is not difficult for such a Ming Dynasty to govern a wider territory than the Tang Dynasty, as long as it can survive all kinds of pains, Yao Guangxiao is sure that the Ming Dynasty will be as Dusk said, for hundreds of years, it will be a dynasty under this sky where the sun never sets.
Zhang Dingbian actually understands the evolution of the Ming Dynasty, and is still a little worried, "You just signaled Dusk that you can get Ji Gang out of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, I agree with this, after all, there is a real lack of manpower now, but Dusk doesn't seem to agree, besides, the King of Han and the King of Zhao, if these two leave Gyeonggi, if the central power does not have enough control and influence on them, it will become another Jingjing." ”
Yao Guangxiao said with a smile: "Ji Gang, Dusk probably has to kill him to be at ease, as for those two...... Don't underestimate Your Majesty, if the King of Han and the King of Zhao leave Gyeonggi and go to Jiaozhi and Eight Hundred Dadian to take charge of one side, Your Majesty will definitely strengthen the measures of separating the military from the government, that is to say, the King of Han and the King of Zhao have the right of political autonomy and self-determination, but they must not interfere with the army, and the local military power is still governed by the centralized system, the King of Han and the King of Zhao can't afford to toss the waves, of course, there is also a problem, that is, the distance is too far to cause the delay of information, so to solve these problems, we need to continue to fight for the Ming Dynasty at dusk, Presumably Dusk will do the same. ”
Zhang Dingbian was silent.
After a long time, he sighed: "I always feel that this big tomorrow is being dragged forward by Dusk and His Majesty Yongle." ”
Yao Guangxiao bowed, "This is not a feeling. ”
It's a fact.
Especially at dusk, the changes he brought to Daming were unprecedented in the past, and they were unimaginable in the past, Yao Guangxiao couldn't even imagine what Daming would look like a hundred years before dusk.
Maybe that day, on this piece of China, there will really be the kind of picture of the iron bird passing through the mountains through the white clouds and the divine machine said at dusk.
……
……
Out of the Jianchu Temple, I went to the headquarters of the Times Commercial Bank at dusk.
Shen Xili is not there.
Dusk called several other responsible persons together for a meeting to deploy the matter of "power firms", and the current power firms are mainly working with Suncheon's workshops and are in the stage of developing equipment.
However, he was pleasantly surprised by the appearance of tungsten light bulbs.
Seven years after Yongle, he returned to Yingtian, and after the establishment of the "Electric Power Commercial Bank", he gathered relevant talents together and proposed to use copper wires and the like as the filament of light bulbs.
Then put forward a plan, to use special materials to make the filament have long-term performance, because there is no periodic table yet, so dusk can only vaguely propose to use special materials, about tungsten this element, dusk actually does not understand, so it is still handed over to professionals.
Not to mention, it was really made out by a Westerner.
It's hard to say.
It's not too difficult to say, but it's not too difficult.
After all, knowing what materials to add, the difficulty lies in how to get tungsten, and continuous experimentation, but fortunately, if there is money, then everything is easy to do - with manpower, financial resources and time to pile it up.
As long as tungsten can be found and produced, nothing is a problem.
In the evolution of light bulbs, great progress has also been made in vacuuming.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current light bulbs are not much worse than the incandescent lamps of later generations, and the telephone poles have long solved the technical difficulties because of the appearance of cement.
As long as the transportation problem is solved on the Suncheon side, the line can be rolled out on the entire line of the two Gyeonggi seats.
—————
Laying is just the simplest technique.
The most difficult thing is whether the Suncheon Workshop can develop the corresponding equipment for hydroelectric power generation, the transformer is simple, according to Dusk's estimates, it will take about three or five years to really build a hydroelectric power station.
However, it does not affect the work of electricity in advance.
Laying lines and building dams.
Before the dam is built, the power generation room is reserved.
It's as simple as that.
Therefore, after dusk proposed to pave the line in the whole Yingtian, several persons in charge of the Times Commercial Bank were dumbfounded, after all, the owner means that the Times Bank will pay money, and there will be no income in the short term.
It's simply unthinkable.
But the attitude of the dusk is unquestionable, and the people of the Times Merchant House can only do it and look forward to that day.
That's the real city where the sun never sets!
The people of the electric power company are full of unprecedented energy.
There are thousands of people in the world.
There are always some people who have the dream of creating a brilliant world, and there are always some people who have ideals and want to contribute their youth and blood to this prosperous world.
Such a person...... There are many commercial houses in the times.
Such a person...... Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Ming Dynasty, in this splendid China, more!
There is more than one dusk in the world.
There are countless people, waiting for the dawn.
