Since the unification of China, Zhang Yu has spent most of his time on construction.

After recuperation, the empire was stable and prosperous.

Imports of large quantities of gold and silver from overseas continue every year.

A large amount of gold and silver was imported, and the treasury was full.

After having money, Zhang Yu built roads when he should have built them, dug canals when he should dig canals, and Xing built a large number of canals.

The entire empire was growing rapidly.

And Zhang Yu went to the Royal Academy of Sciences in the city.

This academy of sciences is close to the engineering college, but the difference is that this academy does not teach students, and has set up some scientific research teams to study various sciences.

In the eyes of the ancients, these are all strange and obscene skills, but Zhang Yu is the first emperor of the ages, and no one can stop him from pushing him personally.

Zhang Yu promoted the development of science, and the empire was rich, and there was no situation of labor and money, so no one objected.

Zhang Yu really has very little time to deal with government affairs, he only reads the cabinet report once in a few days or a period of time, and he spends most of his time in the academy or the academy of sciences.

The Academy of Sciences is all basic science, in addition to studying various projects, Zhang Yu also concentrated talents in some disciplines to the Academy of Sciences for academic research.

For example, physics, which allows people to specialize in basic subjects such as mechanics.

Mathematics, on the other hand, does not require a lot of experimentation, but directly concentrates a group of people in a higher institution and allows them to teach students at the same time.

The Empire's science is skyrocketing, and most of it is useless, but it doesn't matter, it will develop in the future and promote the development of the Empire.

The current cabinet is very efficient, Zhang Yu hardly has to work too hard, as long as a cabinet meeting is held once in a while, and there is a problem in the report they sent, he will prompt it.

Zhang Yu has been in the capital for a long time, and he is finally going to Beijing again to investigate, and this time the place he is going to is Shanghai.

I chose Shanghai because the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway was finally opened.

It took more than two years to cement the entire road, and the highway cost a lot of silver.

But don't be afraid to spend money, Zhang Yu feels that the cost is worth it, with this road, the north and south will flow, not only goods, but also population.

When people move, they generate an economy.

With the rapid development of the empire's various undertakings, Zhang Yu arrived in Shanghai, where the population of Shanghai had reached more than 600,000, and many merchants had settled here.

Shanghai is slowly becoming one of the commercial centers.

In fact, today's commercial center, in addition to Shanghai, there is Chang'an, and Jingzhou is also one of the centers of gravity.

It is not difficult to understand that the Central Plains region is still very prosperous.

Shanghai and Guangzhou can also develop rapidly by relying on maritime trade.

Overseas, Zhang Yu has built more and more fleets, and his shipyard has been researching to build larger, stronger ships.

There are often a large number of ships sailing all over the world.

The coastal ports are also very busy.

Nowadays, there is a regular route with Fuso, and there are ships coming and going every month.

The Fuso region, the southeastern region, has become an integral part of the empire.

Zhang Yu slowly occupied many islands.

To mention Cao Ang, he also developed well in South America, has established several stronghold cities, and has a population of hundreds of thousands.

With a sufficient population, it will definitely develop in the future.

Later, Zhang Yu's fleet came several times and traded several times.

And Cao Ang knew from these crew members that Zhang Yu had unified China, and at the same time made merchant ships all over the world.

The land was developed in various places.

Zhang Yu carried out a very shameless slave trade, and all kinds of slaves were sold to China and other places.

These slaves were used to build roads in China.

With the improvement of technology, the cost of burning cement decreased, and Zhang Yu built more cement roads.

His goal is to connect all the provinces, but it's very difficult.

The main reason is that in this era, you can't go through the hole directly, and you can only detour when you encounter a mountain, and if you can't go around, you can only build a winding mountain road and directly climb over the mountain.

It is even more difficult to encounter big rivers, and Zhang Yu and their research took a long time to build an iron bridge with a not very long span.

Nowadays, the steel industry is also developing rapidly, and Zhang Yu directly established several steel bridges within the empire.

In fact, there are many places that are not needed, but Zhang Yu has built many steel bridges in order to improve technology and develop the steel industry.

Zhang Yu also pioneered the company system, allowing the empire to set up several companies.

Iron and steel companies, shipbuilding groups, etc. were established.

Zhangyu's postal system can also be implemented in a certain area.

The rapid development of the empire has made Zhang Yu's reputation skyrocketing.

Zhang Yu began the plan to inspect the empire.

He took a few wives with him and planned to go around the places.

After the entire empire was inspected, Zhang Yu planned to spend two years.

When he arrived at a place, Zhang Yu lived in the official mansion, and met with officials from all over the world, but in the end, Zhang Yu secretly paid a private visit to the micro-service, leaving a lot of deeds of the emperor's private visit.

Zhang Yu is not drunk no matter where he is, and often writes with him, and his 100,000 conjectures have published more than 1,000 articles, and almost every issue of the Quest magazine has several articles written by Yu.

Zhang Yu spent two years inspecting the entire empire.

This time, the empire is still developing steadily without him.

In fact, it is not that there is no Zhang Yu, all the reports of the cabinet will still be delivered to him regularly, and once there is any urgent matter, Zhang Yu can also quickly receive the news and give orders to deal with it.

It was not in vain that the empire spent so much money on the roads it built.

For two years, Zhang Yu's previous plans were carried out.

The canals were basically dug up, and the empire devoted its main energies to building roads.

"It's been two years, and I'm back in the capital."

After returning to the capital, Zhang Yu found that the capital had undergone tremendous changes, with a larger population and more prosperity.

Nowadays, cement roads have been built in the capital and some surrounding places, all of which are relatively close to each other.

The capital is not more than others, and the road is more preferred.

Zhang Yu deliberately went to the Academy of Sciences to take a look, and now the Academy of Sciences has dozens of projects being studied, and the steam engine is the most important.

"Your Majesty."

Zhang Yu came to the Academy of Sciences and met with the personnel who were studying the steam engine project.

"Your Majesty, we have developed a steam engine, but it often fails, and the air tightness is relatively poor, and the cork can only be used for a few days before it breaks." The person in charge of the Academy of Sciences said to Zhang Yu embarrassedly.

Zhang Yu gave them a high salary, gave them official positions, and gave them a lot of money to study.

"Well, that's good, as for the cork, I've already asked people to look for it overseas, and there's a kind of cork in the southeast that works very well, and I've already sent it over, and you have to continue to improve it, and start researching the use of steam engines."

"The train I said, you have to start researching, I want you to study it in about ten years, you have to give people to people, and you have to give money to money."

The steam engine, the train, the railroad, if these things are studied, will be the things that will change the world.

In addition, if a railroad is studied, it will not be far from a steamship.

However, Zhang Yu understands that science is such a thing, and it is necessary to take it slowly, and now that the productive forces have not yet reached that level, we must also pay attention to the development of basic science.

Zhang Yu continues to devote himself to the research of basic science.

"I'm ready to start the steam age."

Zhang Yu knew that the prototype of the steam engine had been manufactured, and if they were given ten years to optimize it, they would definitely be able to achieve practical use, and Zhang Yu himself opened the era of steam.
