Chapter 44: Deliberation

"Father, let's discuss the aftermath of our two fathers and sons!"

This night, Fang Mu and Fang Tianhao, the two fathers and sons, talked all night.

The two fathers and sons were in Wang Youtong's room, discussing how to deal with Wang Zhen's funeral. According to Fang Tianhao's statement, that is, to return Wang Zhen to those aboriginal residents for management, and the Fang family did not care, returned to Baozhuang to continue to live their own lives, and prayed that Wang Youtong and Kui Jun really had nothing to do with it.

However, Fang Mu's creed is not like this, he thinks that he has worked hard and risked to destroy the Wang family, and it is impossible not to get even a little benefit! The land occupied by the Wang family, Fang Mu can return it to those who are working hard, but it is impossible for him to completely withdraw from Wang Town.

The underground of Wang Zhen contains rich coal resources, and what Fang Mu just knew was that it was because of this that it was impossible for Fang Mu to completely withdraw from Wang Town. The importance of coal resources, Fang Tianhao may not know, but Fang Mu is absolutely clear, not to mention whether the coal resources contained under Wang Zhen are more or less, whether the coal mine is large or small, but it is definitely enough for the Fang family in the early stage of development.

Three months later, the German Levan will send those machines, and most of those machines need power to drive, such as the steel-making equipment, which needs to melt iron ore at ultra-high temperatures and refine it into molten iron, but where does the fuel come from to make ultra-high temperatures? If you use firewood to burn, not to mention whether firewood can make such a high temperature, even if you can, how much firewood does it take to make a ton of steel! When the time comes, the entire 800 members of the Fang family don't have to do anything, it is enough to go up the mountain to chop firewood every day. There are others, such as those bullet production lines, rifle production lines, etc., which all need power to drive, and the coal resources contained in Wangzhen Power are the best power!

Although, Fang Mu explained to Fang Tianhao the reason why he couldn't let the Fang family's forces withdraw from Wang Town, but Fang Tianhao still didn't understand what Fang Mu was saying.

Fang Mu looked at Fang Tianhao's puzzled expression, and didn't blame his father for not understanding the cross-era words he said, and continued to patiently explain to Fang Tianhao: "Father, the strength of Britain today, I think you should have heard of it, right?" ”

Seeing Fang Tianhao, Fang Mu nodded, and continued:

"Today's Britain is known as the 'Empire on which the sun never sets', because its colonies are all over the world, very vast, and there are colonies where the sun rises and sets, so it is called the 'Empire on which the sun never sets'."

"The British colonies almost have an area of more than 30 million square kilometers, maybe you don't have a general impression of more than 30 million square kilometers, father, then I will say in layman's terms, the British colonies are more than three times the size of China's territory, and more than twice the size of Russia's territory!"

When Fang Mu said this, Fang Tianhao actually gasped when he heard this, he was so amazed at the strength of the British Empire in Fang Mu's mouth.

Fang Tianhao only heard people say in general terms that Britain is the most powerful empire in the world, but he doesn't have a specific concept in his heart, how can Fang Mu say it so digitally now, it sounds so shocking

Fang Tianhao went out to wander when he was young, and he also heard that there is a country in the world called Britain, which is the most powerful country in the world and the first Western country in the world to defeat China.

Later, Fang Tianhao, with a lot of enthusiasm, went to Annam to fight with the French, and he saw how weak and weak the Manchu army's big blades, old-fashioned guns, and guns were under the advanced weapons of the French. A 'Battle of Paper Bridge', although the army of his own country won the battle, but it was also piled up with human lives! How many brothers are left of the brothers around me back then? The team he led, except for Rifle and himself, all died under the guns of the French!!!!

Compare the casualties on both sides of the 'Battle of Paper Bridge', whether the Qing Dynasty won or the French won! It turned out to be just about to come out!

Fang Mu didn't pay attention to Fang Tianhao's shock, and still said to himself.

"Britain is a small country in the British Isles, and the area of the mainland is not as large as that of Sichuan Province, and the size of the population cannot be compared with China, and the various resources of the mainland cannot be compared with China. However, from the 16th century onwards, the British navy defeated the 'Invincible Armada' of Spain, the most powerful maritime power in the world at the time. The British 'Royal Navy' has become the world's strongest maritime power, crisscrossing the ocean, and its strength is so strong that no country dares to touch the British mildew at sea! ”

"Because of such a powerful sea power as a guarantee, Britain has always been able to grab more colonies than other countries, this is true of Africa, India, Oceania, and even the now independent land of the Americas!"

"Although Britain's navy is the most powerful navy in the world, this is not enough for it to sit firmly in the position of the world's first power, and it can only be regarded as a sea power, and it is not necessarily comparable to other countries on land!"

When Fang Mu said this, he suddenly paused his accent, the expression on his face became serious, it seemed that the most important topic to be talked about next, looking at Fang Tianhao's eyes staring at him, Fang Mu no longer sold Guanzi, and slowly spoke:

"Since the beginning of the eighteenth century, a cross-generational invention has emerged, that is, the steam engine that allowed mankind to enter from primitive manual power to steam power. Moreover, the invention and improvement of the steam engine was carried out in Britain, and Britain also seized this opportunity! Using the invention and improvement of the steam engine, the first industrial revolution was carried out, and the position of the world leader was completely secured! ”

"The first industrial revolution was carried out, and the 'enclosure movement' was also carried out in Britain, and the 'enclosure movement' liberated a large number of traditional labor forces in Britain, prompting the emergence of a large number of capitalist factories in Britain. All kinds of factories have quickly produced all kinds of military industrial products for Britain, so that Britain has a proud capital. ”

"For example, in the past, Britain produced 1,000 rifles, which required a large workshop to manufacture by hand for three days and three nights, but if it was handed over to a large factory powered by steam energy, it would take less than an hour to make it, and the quality was very guaranteed. Small workshops not only need a lot of manpower, but also need to make rifles with exquisite skills, and there can be no sloppiness during the production, otherwise, even if a rifle is completed ninety percent, it cannot be used by the army. In the factory, there is no such situation, most of the rifle production process is done by machinery, such as polishing, rifling these delicate work, there are corresponding machinery to make, the possibility of errors, that is very low! In addition, even if a rifle is made by mistake in the production process, the workers in the factory can immediately make a new one, using the factory's steam-powered high-speed machine, and it will not take long to make a new one. ”

"This is the difference between industrialization and non-industrialization, and the traditional manual power model is simply a world of difference compared to it!"

"Father, the first industrial revolution was actually a revolution of 'liberating labor', which changed people from a high-intensity manual production model to a factory-operated production model, because of the new steam energy as a power, it was equivalent to winding up the British country, how can Britain not be strong?"

"Other great powers have also become powerful because they have followed Britain in the Industrial Revolution. And China's repeated defeats in foreign wars are because China is still a highly agrarian country, because China is still a small-scale peasant economic production model, and because China has not carried out an industrial revolution, and the industrialization of the entire country is almost zero. Let China now be in a state of almost zero industrialization to go to war with the great powers, will China not fail! ”

"Father, the coal mine resources contained in the underground of Wang Zhen are actually a kind of energy, and it is an energy that determines whether our Fang family can take off in the future, so the power of our Fang family must not withdraw from Wang Town, and the coal mine resources of Wang Town must also belong to our Fang family, our Fang family can not do with Wang Youtong's land, but the coal mine resources must be in the hands of our Fang family, this is beyond doubt!"

"And, three months later, when Lai Wang transports the machinery needed to build the factory, our Fang family will also build the factory in Wangzhen, and we can leave him alone for the time being, but these factories that produce weapons are absolutely intolerable to the imperial court, if they are discovered by the imperial court. At that time, the Fang family will really face the catastrophe of annihilation! ”

"Opening these factories to Wangzhen has three benefits for our Fang family that cannot be ignored: first; In this way, the actions of the Fang family can be concealed from the attention of the imperial court, and when the time comes, if the people from the government ask about it, we can all push it to the Wang family. Two; The factory is located here in Wangzhen, and we can dig the coal under Wangzhen nearby as an energy source for the operation of the factory's machinery. Three; Wangzhen has a large population, about tens of thousands of people, after the establishment of the factory, we must need manpower to operate the production of the factory, when the time comes, we can recruit factory workers in Wangzhen nearby, which not only solves the problem of shortage of manpower in the factory, but also can tie the interests of these original residents of Wangzhen with the interests of our Fang family, at that time, we don't have to worry about these factories that are in the eyes of the imperial court to produce contraband are exposed! ”

"Father, do you think our Fang family can give up Wang Zhen?" After Fang Mu finished arguing, he asked Fang Tianhao rhetorically.

However, Fang Mu saw that Fang Tianhao was the same expression after talking to him in the secret room, he was the same shocked, the same was so dumbfounded!

"Father! Father! Fang Mu saw that Fang Tianhao was still in a daze, and couldn't help but push Tianhao twice with his hand.

Fang Tianhao didn't turn his senses until he was pushed twice by Fang Mu, staring at Fang Mu with his eyes, as if he wanted to look Fang Mu's whole body up and down, and see that his whole body was transparent.

Fang Mu was a little hairy by Fang Tianhao's staring, and couldn't help but ask, "Father, what are you staring at me for?" ”

Who knows, Fang Tianhao's next sentence made Fang Mu's heart tighten.

"Are you really my son?" Fang Tianhao's words were shocked, sighed, and ashamed.

When Fang Mu heard Fang Tianhao's question, the corners of his mouth trembled involuntarily, he thought that Fang Tianhao had discovered his identity as a traverser, and just wanted to open his mouth to perfunctory Fang Tianhao, but Fang Tianhao was the first to speak: "How do you know so many things, even the things in the world, you can tell a thing or two, and you even know what kind of 'enclosure movement' in other countries!" Tell me honestly, was it your second uncle who taught you the last time you went to the county seat? ”

Fang Mu originally wanted to explain to Fang Tianhao, but he didn't think that Fang Tianhao himself had made an excuse for him, he also got off the donkey down the slope, pushed all the problems on Fang Tianjing's head, and said: "Father, you are worthy of being the helmsman of the Fang family, you will be seen through by you at once, you are really old and the sword is not old!" ”

Fang Mu patted Fang Tianhao's ass without a trace, pretended to sigh, and then said: "It is indeed what the second uncle taught me the last time I went to the county seat, otherwise how can I know so many great truths!" ”

Fang Tianhao listened to Fang Mu's explanation, and his face showed a look of sudden realization, but he said with some concern: "Your kid used to be a gentleman, so it's not fake." But now, your kid has suddenly become so black-bellied, so scheming, this time he even went to Wang Zhen to kill people, everything he did was to make the Fang family irreversible, I'm afraid that your kid will suddenly go the wrong way one day and ruin yourself! ”

Fang Mu listened to Fang Tianhao's worries, smiled at Fang Tianhao, and comforted: "Father, if your son doesn't become so black-bellied, then how can your son support the Fang family in the future?" You don't care if I will go the wrong way, I also told you last time that the times are about to change greatly, if our Fang family does not make any preparations, then in the days to come, we will definitely be gnawed by others to the point that there are no bones left, in this case, why don't our Fang family go to Bo Yibo and strive for a bright future for the Fang family! In this era of imminent chaos, seek the greatest family interests for the Fang family and lay the foundation of our Fang family! ”

Fang Mu's words made Fang Tianhao's heart also very excited, "Lay the foundation of the Fang family!" ’。 What a majestic thing! Although Fang Mu's words were very vague, the meaning of the words made people understand as soon as they heard them, that is, "Our Fang family must rebel!" We must overthrow the current imperial court! Lay the foundation of our Fang family! ”

Fang Tianhao was also full of longing for the bright future depicted in Fang Mu's words, but unfortunately, when he thought of his age and physical condition, he sighed helplessly, he knew that he would probably not be able to wait for that day!

"Mu'er, do it according to your attention this time, it seems that the father is really old
