Population is the primary productive force, Chen Ye directly announced that as long as the child born in Fengzhou City is one year old, he can receive ten taels of silver, and he will receive one tael of silver every year until he is fourteen years old, and he will go to school completely free, this series of incentives has led to a sharp increase in the population of Fengzhou City.

The management and medical conditions corresponding to the increase in population should also keep up, Chen Ye directly hired doctors with high salaries, and many doctors moved to Fengzhou City in order to have a better life, where there is no shortage of patients and business.

Today, there is a big event in Fengzhou City, the Academy of Sciences was established, this Academy of Sciences covers an area of more than 100 acres, which is the residence of craftsmen, and there are craftsmen who are proficient in gunpowder and iron smelting, and other departments are temporarily empty, there is no way, and now there are not enough technicians in hand.

It is officially running today, and the registration is open, as long as you have a skill, you can enter and enjoy high benefits, Chen Ye feels that I don't have it myself, but I can attract people to come.

To provide such a good environment and such good welfare, no one needs to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, you just need to study hard.

There is another important thing (qíng) today, that is, the first change in productivity, every large-scale improvement in productivity needs a strong driving force, and Chen Ye is going to invent an epoch-making thing.

Steam engine!

That's right, Chen Ye's current era is still in a feudal society and an agricultural society. Chen Ye is now going to create a new era, that is, the industrial age.

, why did Chen Ye do this?

The reason is actually very simple, because many of my own ideas, according to the current manual polishing little by little, it cannot meet Chen Ye's requirements at all, and the error between each size is too large.

If you want to build a large-scale gun, you must need a stable power, if you want to build a large-scale wrought iron, artificial strikes are far less than the comparison of steam engine forging, although the pollution is relatively large. Chen Ye has no choice, Chen Ye can't directly create electricity across the ages. The war of technology is a gradual process.

To give an example, a barbarian with the current intellectual mind cannot directly build nuclear weapons, and the progress of any era requires a large amount of accumulation.

Now Chen Ye is about to ignite the first fire of science and technology in this era, hoping that this fire of science and technology can ignite the prairie fire, promote the improvement of productivity, and let the people no longer starve to death.

The reason why Chen Ye is so confident is that Chen Ye's subordinates discovered a super-large coal mine that leaked the sky, yes, an open-pit super large coal mine, and also discovered an iron mine. This is Chen Ye's confidence, anyway, my family has a thick foundation and can afford it.

Without the steam engine to provide efficient power, the quality of iron or steel in the production area would not be good, and the cannon would not last long, and it would explode, and the distance would be relatively short.

The principle of the steam engine is relatively simple, and it is also a factor, only a boiler that boils the water to produce high-pressure steam, and the steam expands to push the piston to do work. It doesn't have to be too hard to invent.

When Chen Ye carried the steam engine out, it was directly covered with a large black cloth, and it took more than twenty soldiers to barely lift it, and after carrying it to the square, Chen Ye let everyone stand up, in order for many people to accept this thing, he directly ordered Feng Xian to cooperate with him, this guy is now married, and he has to have children.

However, after getting married, I saw that he and Fengxian were more fairy-like, and they were very close to the people. This image of him formed a great contrast, and (shēn) followed many believers.

First of all, let the wind fairy do a simple ritual.

"Heaven and Earth Xuanzong Ten Thousand Qi Root Extensive Cultivation Ten Thousand Tribulations Prove My Divine Power. Inside and outside the Three Realms, only the Tao is the only body, there is a golden light covering me (shēn), seeing it, hearing it, not hearing it, encompassing the heaven and earth, nurturing the masses, reciting it once (shēn), there is light, the Three Realms guards, the five emperors, the Siying, the Ten Thousand Gods Dynasty ritual service makes the thunder, ghosts, demons, fearless, spirits, and monsters, and there are thunderbolts, thunder gods, incognito caves, and wisdom, and the five qi are soaring, and the golden light is fast to protect the real people, and the real people are as urgent as the law, and the gods are present. ”

Where did the people below understand what He Fengxian was reading, and only heard the last sentence: "Hurry like a law, and the gods appear." ”

As soon as the words of the wind fairy fell, the black cloth automatically fell, leaking out a black thing, there is a big circle, and there are a lot of round things, very angry, and the wind fairy said what kind of artifact is here? Could it be something from the gods?

"This is what Chen Ye took from the Heavenly Gods, and asked Chen Ye to show it to you." After speaking, the reverence for God (qíng) is leaked.

Chen Ye saw that the pretending B was almost ready, and he also walked out and ordered his subordinates to carry out the black coal.

"It's coal." One person screamed and said it, and the others leaked out the application for silly (bī), who couldn't tell that it was coal.

"What is this, my lord, why is it dark, and what is this round one?" A member of the crowd asked.

"It's a fetish, a steam engine." After Chen Ye finished speaking, he didn't explain, he opened a small door under the cylinder, and the people below wanted to see what was inside, Chen Ye put the coal in it, poured some fire oil, and lit it directly.

The following is very confused, this is the end, is there no movement?

Those who had waited for a while heard the sound of a black thing. The sound grew louder and louder, and white smoke began to rise.

"Look, look, the round one moves." Everyone saw the round thing, slowly turning, faster and faster, faster and faster, and the whole steam engine became louder and louder.

Chen Ye took out a shovel from below at random and threw it directly under the steam-driven hammer, only to see that the shovel was broken all of a sudden. Little by little, it is flattened until it becomes an iron lump.

"Wow, fetish." The people below quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"I don't need you to kowtow, this is what I invited you from the heavenly realm to help you live, you can all try to use it in the future, and the Academy of Sciences will make it in the future to help you transform the production method," Chen Ye left after speaking.

The people below looked at this magical thing, and were reluctant to retreat for a long time, and they had to go early the next morning to see if this thing was still spinning, and the people below found that this thing had been running as long as they added water to it and added some coal.

"Divine creatures, don't eat grass, don't eat, don't know how tired you are, you can run all the time." The people are becoming more and more convinced that this is a sacred object.

This has become a spectacle of Toyosu City, and it is spreading all over the country, and there are things that can be turned around without eating or drinking, day and night, day and night.

"Since Chen Ye brought back the steam engine from the gods, it means the end of a history and the beginning of a new history. It was a moment in history where a new chapter was opened. Chen Ye is worthy of our eternal admiration, and his Academy of Sciences is the ancestor of modern science, representing the beginning of our life" - page 140 of the history of Zhongshan Kingdom.

His Majesty the Emperor in the capital felt very curious about what Chen Ye had invented, but Emperor Han Qing's focus now was not here, but a more embarrassing situation.

"That is, I have no money?" This makes an emperor a little difficult to talk about.

In the past, the country's economy was mainly in the southern region, especially in Nanjing and Jiangnan, but after the canal, the economic development has improved. However, this money could not reach the pockets of the imperial court, and the current situation was that more than half of the peasants were missing. Relying on the taxes of the peasants led to a massive reduction in taxes at the imperial court,

Chen Ye's chamber of commerce has created a lot of profits, and the chamber of commerce in the south is basically off the rails, and now the main tax of the imperial court is mainly the tax of the chamber of commerce and the tax of farmers. Chen Ye's Fengzhou City also gave a lot of taxes, but now the imperial court has too many places to spend money. It is also necessary to train soldiers, as well as to make weapons, and spend money on running water.

Now the emperor has put his own private treasury upside down to the national treasury, and this is still not enough.

Now that everyone inside and outside the court has seen the big fat (ròu) of Fengzhou City, and hopes that Fengzhou City will pay more taxes, the emperor is not embarrassed to open his mouth.

How can Lao Tzu open his mouth to ask for money with his son, which is difficult to speak.

There was no way, so the imperial court sent someone to send someone to euphemistically express the meaning, feeling that it was time-consuming, and the personnel had not yet been determined, Chen Shiyi sent the secret guarantee, saying that the emperor was the emperor and the court was short of money now, and the emperor was embarrassed to open his mouth.

Chen Yi also took out the (qíng) newspaper and compared it, and found that the general content was similar.

So can you help yourself? I will definitely help, but I can't help in vain, and I can't help without a bottom line.

Chen Ye wanted to go back to the capital, but was unanimously opposed by Zhao Xiao and them, especially Princess Pingyang, can she not know about some dirty things in the capital?

In the past, Chen Ye went back when he went back, but now Chen Ye is basically a feudal official, and it is not certain that he will not be allowed to come back if he goes back, plus there is a barbarian Fan Su'an eyeing him, and the danger of the grassland has not been removed.

"I want to go back alone, bring no one, and leave Chen Yi and Gu Yun here, there shouldn't be any problem. Besides, there are so many troops here! Chen Ye felt that there was no problem.

"Aren't you going to bring a sister?" Zhao Xiao's words made several other movements pause, yes, didn't Chen Ye go back and bring anyone else?

The others must be very eager to take advantage of this opportunity to be alone with Chen Ye, this is a good time, although they are sleeping together every day now, wouldn't it be better to have a chance to be alone for a long time now.

Unknowingly, Chen Ye was faced with a difficult choice question, he could take anyone back, but he couldn't take anyone back.

"Eat, eat." Several ladies still didn't want to let go of Chen Ye, Chen Ye felt extremely happy at night, it was really a fairy, he just wanted to be a mortal.

They all want to please Chen Ye and be able to take themselves back to the capital!
