galloped all the way to the Royal Academy, and after finding Xu Guangqi, Emperor Chongzhen said directly: "I have a matter, I want Xu Aiqing to assign a part of the people in charge of the steam engine to do it." ”

Xu Guangqi said curiously: "Please give instructions to Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Since this steam engine can be used to pull goods on the car, it must also be used on the ship, if it is feasible, the ship does not need too many sailors to paddle."

When the time comes, it is not impossible to say that there is no wind to go, even if it is against the wind? ”

When Xu Guangqi heard this, he fell into deep thought for a while.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't bother Xu Guangqi, but wandered around the Royal Academy by himself.

Now in the Royal Academy, the steam engine has simply been played with tricks.

Not to mention the large ones used for locomotives, they were used to drill the barrel of the gun after being reduced countless times, and they were transformed to beat the iron, instead of the hammer of the blacksmith, these scenes appeared in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

And a word flashed through Emperor Chongzhen's mind, the first industrial revolution.

In which country did the first industrial revolution in real history appear, why did it happen, and what happened, Emperor Chongzhen said that he could no longer remember, and the pitiful historical knowledge had long been returned to the teacher.

However, the first industrial revolution seems to have been marked by the replacement of manual work by machines, and it was because of the loom or something.

Anyway, it is absolutely inseparable from the emergence of the steam engine.

This means that the Ming Dynasty now has the potential or capital to carry out the first industrial revolution.

And what kind of consequences will arise after the industrial revolution, Emperor Chongzhen probably knows something, and it is precisely because he knows some of them, so he is vaguely worried.

Because the history teacher seems to have said that the first industrial revolution demanded the further abolition of feudal oppression and the implementation of free business, free competition and free trade.

Through revolution and reform, the bourgeoisie gradually established the first industrial revolution and consolidated its rule.

Whether this is the case or not, Emperor Chongzhen can't remember clearly, but when it comes to lifting feudal oppression and realizing free business, isn't the first thing he wants to reform is his own emperor's life?

When it comes to oppression, who else has a higher class in the entire Ming Dynasty? A higher class also means more oppression.

When it comes to free business, aren't the grandchildren of the Donglin Party pursuing free business without collecting taxes?

Now, I was cut into a dead dog by myself.

However, one consequence of this is that these grandchildren of the budding capitalism must have hated themselves deeply.

When the time comes, will the people of the Ming Dynasty, who are dissatisfied with their oppression, exploitation, and taxation, play an uprising that unites to push their tyranny?

Emperor Chongzhen really has no bottom in his heart.

Just like the later France, Louis was in his teens, and I forgot if it was fourteen or sixteen, wasn't that unlucky guy and his queen sent to the guillotine by his people who went through the "Enlightenment"?

It is said that Louis is very benevolent in his administration, and compared to him, he is a complete tyrant.

In that carnival of madmen and sadists, after killing more than 200 people in three days, the body of the queen's friend was raped.

Then, Louis Dozen's goods and his queen went to the guillotine together.

No matter how elegant, dignified, and royal demeanor Louis Dozen and his queen behaved, they were all beheaded anyway.

No one has mercy.

Now, the Ming Dynasty has the foundation of the first industrial revolution, if the steam engine is only kept in the royal academy, it is fine, if it spreads to the people, will it cause the first industrial revolution?

Emperor Chongzhen didn't dare to think about it, and when he thought about it, he and Empress Zhou, as well as Yuan Guifei, Tian Guifei, and Wanyan Yuzhuo were sent to the execution ground together, and then they were cut by a thousand knives.

Or will there be a new emperor who, after ruining all this, will give himself some kind of peace and happiness?

In the future, he will put a name for himself as an emperor?

The shuddering Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and threw the terrible thought out of his mind.

Fuck the oil lord, I just want to carry out the feudal dictatorship to the end, who dares to go against me, Jinyi Wei and the factory guard to settle them!

Even the factory guards are not enough to settle down, then there are new troops, there are Beijing camps, and there are nobles who stand on their side.

In short, the revolution is fine, but it must be carried out smoothly under my control, and it must be done in order for me to reap the benefits.

If you want to be like those barbarians in the West, don't even think about it!

We must strive for the construction of a feudal society with Ming characteristics for life!

After shaking his head again and throwing all these troubles out of his mind, Emperor Chongzhen slowly paced back to where Xu Guangqi was.

At this time, Xu Guangqi had also woken up from his contemplation, and when Emperor Chongzhen returned, Xu Guangqi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to apply the steam engine to the ship, it should be feasible."

It's just that the current hull is not suitable for the use of steam engines, but needs to be modified before it can be installed.

In addition, it is not easy to say whether the original ship pulp, sailors, etc. still need to be retained.

However, the minister thought that he could first experiment with the small boats sailing on the lake, and then gradually improve the boats. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and responded: "I can only think about these things, and how to get them depends on Xu Aiqing or the Mo family." ”

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled again and asked, "By the way, what about Mo Ye, the great son of the Mo family?" I came twice, but I didn't see him. ”

Xu Guangqi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, after Mo Ye, the great son of the Mo family, arrived here with the heirs of the Mo family, he has indeed contributed a lot to the country.

It's just that they are obsessed with these physical methods every day, and they usually don't go out of the room, so it's really difficult to meet them. ”

Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "The industry is proficient in specialization, and the party is excellent, no wonder the heirs of the Mo family surpass others in physics, and this concentration is very comparable." ”

Xu Guangqi nodded yes, and said with admiration: "What Your Majesty said is very true, the industry is good at diligence and ridiculous, and the time is spent on studying, and it is difficult for the Mo family to be refined." ”

Smiling, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "However, these people are all treasures, and they can't be allowed to work hard every day, and when they are free, Xu Aiqing can take them out to play, and I will order Jinyi Wei to protect them secretly." ”

After smiling and thanking him, Xu Guangqi sent Emperor Chongzhen out of the Royal Academy.

Just took two steps, but Emperor Chongzhen suddenly ordered: "There is still something that Xu Aiqing needs to pay attention to." ”

Xu Guangqi said curiously: "Please give instructions to Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "What is the state of the steam engine now, Xu Aiqing knows better than my heart.

However, without my will, it must not flow into the people. ”

Xu Guangqi said curiously: "The minister is stupid, I hope Your Majesty will make it clear." ”

Looking up at the sky, he found that there was no vision in the sky, and the sun hanging in the middle was still so exciting, and the somewhat stupid Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Xu Aiqing think about it, this steam engine needs coal, and manpower can save a lot."

I have tens of thousands of people, if many people lose the work they rely on for a living, what will happen? ”

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, Xu Guangqi also reacted.

The steam engine can be used on the locomotive, and naturally it can also be used on the carriage, and the steam engine can be hung on the carriage and then used to plough the land, how efficient it is, Xu Guangqiguang can imagine it with his toes.

And with such a thing, which big landlord will need tenant farmers to plough the land for himself?

When tenant farmers have no land to plant, they become homeless.

And how many displaced people were there in Shaanxi because of drought before? The consequences are already terrible.

How many people are there in the Ming Dynasty? How many displaced people will there be? And how tragic will it be?

Not to mention that Emperor Chongzhen shuddered just now, even Xu Guangqi couldn't help but shudder.

After making up his mind, Xu Guangqi bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this Wujue will not flow out of the Royal Academy to the people, otherwise Wei Chen would like to come to see him." ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and sighed: "In a short period of time, it can only be used for trains, ships, and firecrackers to build a class."

In my opinion, in ten or even twenty years, there is no possibility of this thing being popularized.

In other words, the price is too tragic, I can't afford it, and no one in the world can afford it. ”

The benefits of industrial progress and technological development brought about by the first industrial revolution are obvious.

But the consequences are also obvious.

After a large number of people lose their jobs and lose their livelihoods, there is basically no second way to go except riots or rebellions.

It is simply incalculable how much population and social wealth will be lost in the process.

Even if the loss is made up for by the increase in population and wealth, where will the damaged vitality be compensated?

Just like a big chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, under the smoke and dust of the eighteenth road anti-king and seventy-two roads, how many casualties were there? How much wealth has evaporated?

So much so that the Tang Dynasty used several generations of emperors but failed to restore the grand occasion before the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Not to mention today's Da Ming.

As long as the first industrial revolution starts now, chaos in the world is almost a certainty.

At that time, Emperor Chongzhen had no second way to go except to kill and artificially exterminate the population.

As for outward expansion, is there that capital now?

The discovery of Xinming Island is already a fluke, and everything cannot be pinned on God's preference.

People always have to rely on themselves.

As for the countless traverser training materials that Emperor Chongzhen had seen before he crossed over, he felt quite enthusiastic when he read them before, but after crossing over, he found that it was not the case at all.

Especially after he became the emperor, he had to think about the stability of the entire Ming Dynasty, not how to quickly push the world from scratch.

Killing, especially killing corrupt officials, Emperor Chongzhen has no psychological pressure at all, but if he wants to cause chaos in the world because of his own reasons, unless he is really heartless, the pressure in his heart is really not something that ordinary people can bear.

Especially when this so-called first industrial revolution can be artificially controlled and unfolded in a gentle way, and then it is so tragic, that is, the head is flooded.

And there is so much water that you can raise fish.

Secretly admiring those bigwigs who can play oil when they return to the Three Kingdoms, Emperor Chongzhen hated himself for not learning and not knowing, and at the same time went to the palace.

The emperor's eldest son has not been born for a long time, and it is the time when he needs to be accompanied by himself, so you have to pay attention to this.

Who else can give their children a greater sense of security than a father?

Now Emperor Chongzhen, who has both children and daughters, thinks that this little day is very good, the first industrial revolution or something, let's put it aside first.

was also left behind by Emperor Chongzhen, as well as a group of people on Xinming Island.

Zhu Yujian, Zhu Zhuohong, and Zhu Cunji were sitting cross-legged on the kang drinking wine at this time.

Listening to the sound of the wind whistling outside the window, and the sound of snow particles hitting the window, Zhu Zhuohong sighed: "Look, this is the life that the vassal king should live." ”

Zhu Cunji has been with Zhu Yujian and Zhu Zhuohong for almost a year, and he has long lost his original restrained and polite appearance, but instead sneered: "Well, the vassal king who is the same as the landlord's old wealth, the whole Ming Dynasty may be the three of us!" ”

When Zhu Yujian heard this, he took a sip of hot wine before he spoke: "Among the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, there is really a prince who looks like a prince, just like the nine great Sai kings who were sealed when Emperor Taizu Gao founded the country, it may be the three of us!" ”

Zhu Yujian's words provoked Zhu Zhuohong and Zhu Cunji to laugh wildly, and the three of them drank wine together.

After a while, Zhu Yujian spoke: "I think, since there is a large amount of coal on this Xinming Island, there should be no shortage of iron." When the time comes, we still have to find a way to get Daming back. ”

Zhu Zhuohong said: "Look at it then, anyway, as long as there is, you have to go to Daming, I still want to wait until when I die and then bury it in Daming." ”

Zhu Cunji snorted and said, "What do you say about not dying, crow's mouth!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Cunji sighed again and said: "Speaking of which, what are you doing when you bury yourself in Daming after you die?" Buried in this Xinming Island, just like my brother Wang, I chose to put the ashes wine to the sea, and when the time comes, I will also bury it in this Xinming Island, and guard this land for Daming. ”

Zhu Zhuohong also sighed: "But Daming is the root!" ”

Zhu Zhuohong's words caused Zhu Yujian and Zhu Cunji's eyes to be a little red for a while.

Not from drinking, but with a slight tearful red.

Zhu Zhuohong is right, no matter where he goes, only Daming is the real root.

And the people of the Ming Dynasty, whether they are emperors or ordinary people, can't forget their roots.
