Chapter 160 Anzai was the first to enter the industrial revolution

China is a large agricultural country and has always paid little attention to maritime rights and interests. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He's seven voyages to the West were the best sounds of the ancient Chinese navigation age.

In later generations, Chen Ying originally thought that this was because Emperor Yongle was open-minded, or that the imperial court was aware of the rights and interests of the sea. However, this is not the case.

The Yongle Emperor Zhu Di took the throne from his nephew Zhu Yunwen, and although it took four years of war, Zhu Di knew very well that his victory was not because of military invincibility, but because the Ming military was on his side.

However, after Zhu Di's Northern Expedition, the imperial court's finances were tight, and Zhu Di had to start to stop fighting. However, this national policy has affected the interests of the military. The military nobles can support him as the emperor, and they can also defect in battle.

Therefore, Zhu Di is very worried about Zhu Yunwen's variable.

So the huge fleet led by Zheng He was born.

In this time and space, Chen Ying actually used Li Shimin to stimulate Li Jiancheng to vigorously develop navigation and improve the Tang Dynasty's naval trade and naval warfare armament strength.

Regarding Li Jiancheng's worries, Chen Yingcha was not worried at all.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the ethnic composition was complex, and Li Shimin's ability to unify the world, even if it was only nominal unity, also proved his ability.

At least in Li Shimin's era, there were really no unsightly tribes who fought against the imperial court.

Now that Li Shimin is in the Fusang Continent, he is busy "changing the land and returning to the stream" while using the war to train his son, which also shows that Li Shimin realizes the importance of the heir.

The leader of China Chuan University once said: "The greatest responsibility of veteran comrades is to do their best to train qualified successors." ”

After setbacks and tribulations, Li Shimin is completely different from Li Shimin in history, after he canonized Li Chengqian as the prince of Fusang and the Tang Dynasty, just like Li Tai was named the king of Wei and defended the southeast of Fusang, and Li Ke was not hidden and suppressed as in history, but was named the king of Shu and guarded the southwest.

Although the Fusang Tang Dynasty is the Central Plains Tang Dynasty, which is obviously not the same territory and terrain, Li Shimin still habitually divides the Fusang Tang Dynasty into 16 provinces and 374 states according to the direction of the Central Plains, and the princes and princes still follow the system of the Central Plains, although it is not exactly the same as the Central Plains Tang Dynasty, but the general direction is basically the same.

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying with a relaxed expression, and said suspiciously: "There is one thing I still don't understand, the Anxi army is transferred back from Anxi, is one month enough?" ”

Chen Ying smiled dumbly and said, "Your Majesty is definitely enough!" ”

In fact, stimulated by Chen Ying's millions of dollars, Shule Academy's research on the steam engine is like riding a rocket. Not only have nine improved models of the steam engine been developed, but many versions have also been derived. Steam rollers for road repair, steam mills for grinding surfaces.

In fact, what made Chen Ying speechless the most was the mill. Sometimes, he really wants to knock these craftsmen in the head, and when the power has already appeared, he has kept the mill, shouldn't he go in the direction of the grinder?

However, the efficiency of the steam engine mill is still more than ten times higher than that of the hydraulic mill, after all, the steam engine does not need to consider the water source, nor does it need to consider the dry season and the rainy season, although the steam engine needs to consume a lot of water when running, but compared with the hydraulic mill, it still saves too much.

Under the stimulation of Shule Academy, the original primitive animal-powered machine tools from ancient Greece and the Byzantine Empire were all turned into steam.

With the advent of steam drilling machines, boring machines, grinding machines, milling machines and other machine tools, Datang took the lead in entering the industrial revolution in Anxi. In particular, milling machines are machine tools that use a milling cutter to mill a workpiece.

In addition to milling planes, grooves, teeth, threads and spline shafts, milling machines can also process more complex profiles. In this way, a virtuous circle has been entered.

In fact, the current drilling machines, boring machines, planers, and threading machine tools are all shoddy, and the accuracy of the processed mechanical parts can only be described as "miserable".

Even in ancient Greece and Byzantium, where they were invented, they are not widely used now, and Europeans have not yet realized the importance of machine tools.

However, Anxi has taken the lead in making a breakthrough in steam engine technology, and the machine tool has really ushered in a period of rapid development, and it has been out of control since then.

Milling machines, grinding machines, drilling machines, planers, boring machines...... A steady stream of precision machine tools were produced by machines, opening the curtain of the industrial age.

These rudimentary machine tools, with extremely high errors, provided the necessary technical support for the industrial revolution in Anxi.

The great achievements of the industrial revolution in Anxi in turn produced a complete range of machine tools with superior performance, and grinding and milling machines are the results of the first industrial revolution.

In the period of rapid development after Anxi entered the industrial revolution, Chen Ying had no doubt that Datang would become the hegemon of the world.

Steam rollers, steam roadheaders, steam looms, steam spinning machines, steam stamping pressures, steam tractors are also used, and the power is comparable to that of ten oxen steam tractors, which can not only plough the land at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour on the cultivated land, but also use the huge power to enter the long-distance transfer.

As Chen Ying expected, at this time, Anxi was already full of chimneys, thick smoke billowing out, especially as Anxi is now the most thorough industrial revolution of Shule City is not only full of smoke all year round, like a fairyland on earth, many merchants' business names, will become Shule City for the fog city.

Chen Ying did not directly answer Li Jiancheng's question.

Instead, he looked at Li Jiancheng and asked solemnly: "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the Sassanid Persian Dynasty?" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "I have heard, they paid tribute to the Northern Wei Dynasty during the Northern Wei Dynasty, and later the Northern Wei Dynasty split into the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty, so they slowly cut off contact!" ”

Chen Ying explained to Li Jiancheng: "In fact, the Sassanid Persian Empire, like our China, is a famous ancient country in history, and they also began to form a unified state as early as the Qin Dynasty in China. Now they are different from our Datang, they are all divided into ten ministries and departments, the leader is called Wazir Diwan, who is in charge of national government affairs, similar to our Datang's Shangshu Ling! ”

Then, Chen Ying transferred Murstau Fidiwan, who was in charge of national finance and taxation, and Murkediwan, who was in charge of national diplomacy, education, and data management. Sipahidiwan, in charge of weapons, equipment, and military salaries.

Barry Dediwan, in charge of official communications, supervising officials.

Wait for all ten departments to be introduced. Chen Ying not only introduced, but also gave an example like Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is also very smart.

Slowly, Li Jiancheng pondered the problem. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the ten departments of the Sassanid Empire were more than six in terms of taxation, market, commerce, construction and justice.

Of course, Datang is not without these authorities. Rather, the level is lower.

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying and said, "You want to say that the six parts of the Tang Dynasty are out of date?" ”

"Yes!" Chen Yingdao: "Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the system of three princes and nine secretaries has been implemented, and later changed to the system of three provinces and six ministries!" ”

However, with the development of the times, Datang has entered the time of the industrial revolution, and the three provinces and six ministries can no longer meet the needs of the country.
