"Big brother, you're busy early in the morning." In the Qianqiu Palace, Qiaoxi walked in with breakfast, and when he saw Li Xuanqing pondering the map, he immediately asked.

"I'm just wondering what the conditions of the first industrial revolution were, do you remember?" Li Xuanqing pondered and pondered, but he didn't figure it out.

Hearing this, Qiaoxi tilted her head and thought about it: "I only remember the conditions mentioned in the book, or I will recite it to you." The first was the English bourgeois revolution in the mid-17th century, which overthrew the British feudal autocracy and established a constitutional monarchy based on the alliance of the bourgeoisie and the landed aristocracy. The bourgeoisie used state power to accelerate the implementation of policies and measures for the development of capitalism, which promoted the rapid formation of various preconditions for the industrial revolution; The second is that the bourgeoisie, through large-scale foreign plunder, and through the domestic national debt system and consumption tax policy, has accumulated enormous wealth, which provided the necessary monetary funds for the industrial revolution; the third large-scale enclosure movement, which provided the Industrial Revolution with a large number of "free" labor and a vast domestic market; Fourth, the vigorous development of the handicraft industry in the workshop, which has trained a large number of skilled workers with rich practical experience, has created conditions for the invention and application of machines; The development of the natural sciences and their achievements, especially Newton's mechanics and mathematics, laid the scientific theoretical foundation for the creation of machines; Fifthly, there is a thriving factory handicraft industry, which has accumulated a wealth of knowledge of production technology and increased production, but it is still unable to meet the expanding market demand. ”

Li Xuanqing nodded and said: "The establishment of the political system, the initial capital, the labor force and the market, and the achievements of the natural sciences basically include all aspects. Qiaoxi, what do you say we are missing now? ”

"In fact, Qiaoxi feels that there is nothing missing, but there is one thing that needs to be changed." Qiaoxi saw Li Xuanqing chattering nervously, and his handsome face in the past looked a little vicissitudes, and he couldn't help but feel distressed, and walked over and said softly: "The main thing is that the people's concepts have not changed, and even Mr. Cen can't change their concepts." If the perception changes, I think everything will fall into place. I think we should first establish a whole set of family businesses, and then use the royal capacity to lead and influence others? It might have an effect if you drag it out a little longer, otherwise even if the steam engine is worked out, I believe the resistance will be the same. ”

"Lay your head down, build whatever you need, don't care about the rest, anyway, our family doesn't need any assets, and you can donate them all in the end." Qiaoxi's words also made Li Xuanqing fall into contemplation, in fact, what she said Li Xuanqing did not expect, but this has always been a difficult problem to solve, and he desperately added a new system and established a new school, didn't he just want to set off a new change of ideas among the people? However, from the current point of view, it may not be enough, if this problem is not solved well, then even if you rely on your own ability to forcibly build a heavy industry system, in the end it may really lose its usefulness.

"What should we do now?" Li Xuanqing pondered for a long time, raised his head and looked at Qiaoxi who was staring at him beside him and asked.

"Well, let's build roads and bridges. In any case, railway transportation is always needed, accelerating the flow of goods, and promoting commercial prosperity itself is one of the biggest factors in promoting the progress of the times. The second is to put those companies with great resistance under our name, so that we can avoid a lot of trouble. ”

Looking at Qiaoxi's crooked little head, Li Xuanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile after a long absence: "Go back and remember to borrow money from Qianzhuang in my name, and then expand your BMW factory, establish a heavy industry group, arrange it in advance, I will let the logistics department start to test the rails, and then place an order for the steel plant, and when these are completed, the heavy industry group will set up a track manufacturing plant, and we will start from ourselves." ”

"Don't worry, big brother, these tricks will be done. When the time comes, I'll pull Sister Feixue. But did the big brother think of the name of the group? Qiaoxi saw that Li Xuanqing had regained his previous looks, and immediately became happy, brought over the breakfast that was almost cold, and said with a smile.

"Let's call it Datang Shuguang Industrial Manufacturing Group." Li Xuanqing was stunned for a moment, then blurted out and said with a smile: "This is the dawn of an era. Li Xuanqing, who had figured this out, was no longer melancholy, and began to hurriedly revise the industrial plan after eating with Qiaoxi, and in the following days, the high-level of the Ministry of Civil Affairs slowed down the implementation of the next industrial development plan after repeated consultations. Cen Tianshi and others, who were already anxious about the industrial plan, immediately agreed when they saw Li Xuanqing's initiative to slow down, and in order to cooperate with the plan, they took out the industrial and commercial development plan originally formulated by the Ministry of Civil Affairs to replace Li Xuanqing's plan. This industrial and commercial development plan is only an expanded version of the Toyosu model, but it is much more elaborate than the implementation of Toyoshu at that time, and I have learned to connect various industrial bodies, and I have learned to carry out cluster layout for related industries, which will also produce a cluster growth effect. This is Murong Hanhai's handiwork, and it is also the first industrial and commercial development plan independently made without Li Xuanqing's guidance. Although in Li Xuanqing's opinion, this plan is still not perfect, but he didn't say much, nodded and said: "The plan of the Department of Industry and Commerce can be implemented immediately, as the implementation plan for the development of industry and commerce in the rest of this year." The funds equipped by the money bank can also be started directly, and if the loan conditions of the money bank are met, the money bank can make its own decision whether to lend or not, and there is no need to ask for instructions on everything. One thing I want to tell you today is that Qiaoxi and I have figured out a new mode of transportation, and we are going to test it first, and the Department of Transportation will plan with the Logistics Department to build an experimental road from Chang'an to Lishan. ”

"If this approach can be realized, it will be possible to increase the speed of our current cargo flow by more than three times, and the freight volume can also be increased by more than five times. The main thing is that it can also transport people. At that time, if there is an emergency, the journey from Chang'an to Fengzhou can be shortened to one day and one night. Li Xuanqing ignored everyone's surprised eyes and continued: "It's just that this method may be different from everyone's concept of transportation, so I plan to use me and Qiaoxi's BMW factory as a base to set up a heavy industry group, engage in development in the early stage, and then put it into experiments, and finally promote it if feasible." ”

However, before Li Xuanqing's words were finished, Murong Hanhai suddenly stood up and said hurriedly: "Is this true? From Fengzhou to Chang'an more than 1,000 miles, can you reach it in one day and one night? Is there really a BMW that travels thousands of miles every day? ”

Li Xuanqing knew that although this guy was an official, his essential businessman characteristics could not be changed, so he smiled and said, "Won't you know when the time comes?" It basically doesn't take long to test, and it should be ready in three months, but some machines and equipment are not easy to manufacture. After speaking, he said with a smile: "How about we set off from Chang'an for a day trip to Lishan?" ”

"Three months, that's basically July, just in time to go to the summer, when the time comes, I will ask people to pack up the Lishan Palace, and everyone will move over for a few days." Cen Tianshi was also very curious about what Li Xuanqing said, so he smiled.

"I'm not here today to talk about business and industry." Li Xuanqing waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down and said, "How many of the educational institutions we planned a year ago have been completed now?" How many have been put into use? ”

Yuan He, director of the Department of Education, saw Li Xuanqing's gaze fall on him, and immediately stood up and replied: "At present, it can only be said that the implementation in the Guanzhong area is the slowest, and the education in the Fengzhou area can basically meet the goals set by the last joint meeting, and the Fengzhou Business School has also been put into use, and the first batch of part-time students have also entered the college to study, and they will drop out before the start of school in September." The situation in Lingzhou is a little worse, at present, the county-level Mongolian school has just been implemented, and the primary schools are also uneven, and there are better implementations, such as Lingzhou and Huaiyuan City, which have been fully equipped, and there are still many problems in other local primary schools. Because the Xiazhou area is dominated by party members, the method of popularizing primary schools is currently adopted, so primary schools have been opened in various cities, but there are more nomadic people in the party, although there are many people who have settled in recent years, but this way of life is not conducive to students' learning, especially younger schoolchildren. As for the Guanzhong area, there were originally a lot of private school family studies, although after the war and destruction, but those big families of the family learning is very vigorous, but after hearing that reading can not be directly carried out the imperial examination to become an official, many people are unwilling to invest, and there are even many complaints, saying that the lord's move is to cut off the way out of the scholars, superstitious side door left way, and eventually bring disaster to the country and the people. However, please rest assured that the Ministry of Education has taken strong measures and has worked with the Patrol Department to implement compulsory enrollment in areas where elementary schools have been opened. ”

But Li Xuanqing's face was silent for a long time, and the conversation between him and Qiaoxi in the morning was jumping out of his mind at this moment. This concept was still in the first few hundred years of the imperial examination system, and if you went to the Ming and Qing dynasties, you dare not imagine what kind of situation you will encounter.

However, these thoughts only disappeared from Li Xuanqing's mind in an instant, and after encountering this kind of problem, Li Xuanqing's whole person began to become more and more upright, like a green pine that does not fall, waved his hand to signal everyone not to be nervous, and continued: "Director Yuan's method is very good, since those children of everyone are not willing to learn, then focus on those ordinary children, what education needs to do is fairness, so that the people in society can have the opportunity to be educated." As for those who study just to become officials, Tiance Mansion does not have so many official positions for them to do, and the number of places in the School of Administration must be checked every year, except for the party and tribes who are temporarily selected by them internally, all other places must take the examination before they can enter, and when there are students from Mongolia, we will block all the social recruitment, and do not allow people who are officials for the sake of being officials to enter our system. Secondly, all institutions should strengthen daily publicity, and let the people understand that being an official is only a way of life, and there are more opportunities waiting for them in addition to being an official. ”

Li Xuanqing's words made the people present silent for a while, these people are basically scholars, even Murong Hanhai and others, who gave up business and entered politics, are all scholars who have studied hard since childhood, and they all believe in the concept of "learning and excelling", and now they are rashly narrowing these roads, and they themselves are difficult to convince themselves, so they don't know how to respond to Li Xuanqing for a while, but Yin Honglin, the general office of Datang Qianzhuang, looked at Li Xuanqing's figure and his eyes flashed with a trace of excitement. He is also a reader, but what he reads is not a subset of classics and history, but miscellaneous books that these readers denounce as sideways, astronomical calendars, arithmetic calendars, these are his strengths. At this moment, seeing Li Xuanqing's status as such a high scientific and technological talent, he suddenly felt that he had really found a confidant by meeting such a lord who he had learned in his life, so when he saw that everyone was silent, he said directly: "The lord said well, studying to become an official has become a deep-rooted foundation of society for hundreds of years, but is it really useless except reading?" In the following view, there are many kinds of reading, and those who study engineering are to study the knowledge of engineering, to strive for excellence, to surpass their predecessors, and to do everything they do is beneficial to the society and the people. Standing at the head of the tide of reform, Tiance Mansion should naturally play a leading role in leading the customs and habits of the people. All the problems we are facing today are, in the final analysis, a matter of understanding. If you are not able to realize this, then you will not be able to understand the original intention of the Lord to develop the economy and to serve the people. For thousands of years, it has been an insurmountable hierarchical obstacle that imprisons the people, and now that the lord advocates equality for all, we should start from the understanding, so that the people can truly feel that they are equal to others. Just like education, since the family disdains that our education cannot serve the officials, then we will strive for the broad masses of the people, they are the foundation of the society, after all, the number of people in this society is more than ten times and a hundred times that of the family, as long as the ordinary people support us, we have the ability to reverse the way of the world, invincible. ”

Yin Honglin's words made everyone present feel a chill, abandoning the uncooperative family and going all out to win the support of the people at the bottom of the society, is the price of doing so too great? But Li Xuanqing suddenly discovered that everything he had done since he started the army in Fengzhou was not for the general public? In that case, why did you hesitate this time? Thinking of this, Li Xuanqing smiled slightly, gave Yin Honglin an approving look, and then began to give new orders.
