Chapter 709: What is the background of heavy industry?
Ten days later, Li Longji and the others, who had been driving all the way by boat, arrived at the entrance of Pengli Lake, and on the way they encountered several fleets returning to the Bohai Sea, as well as hot air balloons flying elsewhere in the sky.
The matter is almost over, the manpower in various places can't always take a place to stay and not leave, especially the Bohai Sea, this time *** participated, if the gunboat does not go back, it is easy for others to think that Datang is not angry with them, and it will become worse in the future.
In addition to Gao Lishi, Queen Wang and Concubine Wu Hui, as well as the two little guys Pan'er, as well as Wang Ju, who was not an official in Hangzhou, he was a fugitive worker and went home to stay.
In the past, he had a very good relationship with Li Longji, but now that the past has passed, he naturally has to follow him, as for his official, he is not in a hurry now, and he will arrange it when he returns to the capital, anyway, it can't be bad.
The main meeting of his fishing association in Hangzhou was also handed over to others to be in charge, and he also brought many fishing enthusiasts to follow them on other boats, saying that he was taking them to Luzhou to see how the sea there was different from the sea in Jiangnan Dongdao, and whether it was the same when fishing.
To put it bluntly, he just doesn't want to give up this power in his hands, don't look at it as just a fishing enthusiast, but now he can enter the association, except for people who are dedicated to money and good fishing skills, the others are all wealthy people in the family.
With this part of the people in his hands, it is easy to communicate with what Datang needs to do in the future, according to his grandson's words, it is to develop the fishing association into a transnational organization.
Not only should we fish in Datang, but also go out to fish in the future where the army will fight in the future, and fish all over the world, and operate the fishing association as a huge force.
Wang Ju was not stupid at all, and he thought of what his grandson had to do at that time.
The army fought in the past, with the support of advanced weapons, it may not be difficult, but the difficulty is how to occupy the place and let the locals occupy it, absolutely not, cultivate a pro-Tang force, what if people don't kiss in the future?
The best way is to move the people from the place where the fight is completed to Datang, send the people of Datang over, send the people over, if it is all paid by the two families of Zhang Wang and the imperial court, the cost will be too great.
Following the fishing association, when there is no fish in Datang elsewhere, they can be sold for more money, so as to attract members to find a way to get people over and occupy the place, and they can also get a way to make money from it.
At the same time, it can also promote the construction of roads and speed up the speed of exchanges, so as not to colonize for too long, and the Tang people in the past want to be independent, and in the case that information and transportation cannot be able to send soldiers over in a short time, the people who arranged the past must also be exchanged for a few years.
"The future is still too far away, and I don't know if I can see that day." Wang Ju thought about the future and said with a sigh.
He was sitting with Li Longji on the top of the highest cabin on the top of the ship and watching the scenery, when Li Longji heard what he said, and asked, "What is so far away?" ”
"Your Majesty, it is the minister who thought that in the future, the Tang Dynasty will occupy more places, and the soldiers will come out, however, in the land occupied, it is difficult for the people to travel, and it is inconvenient to manage.
Wang Ju shook his head and continued to sigh.
Li Longji was slightly stunned, then laughed, and said: "Qing is too worried, this matter is not difficult, it is nothing more than to build the road, just repair the road, wait for you to take the train and you will understand, the train is very fast, in the future, wherever the road is built in Datang, it will not be able to continue to release officials to punish, that is not a punishment, it is to let them enjoy happiness." ”
Gao Lishi also smiled and said: "What Your Majesty said is that it has been to Luzhou where it is a place to be distributed, and now the imperial court has long stopped assigning people to Luzhou, once it is distributed, the officials who have been assigned will go directly by boat, and the family is very happy, waiting for the railway to be repaired, and the land route will also work, and the original barren land has become a resort for happiness." ”
"Yes, Luzhou is good, Xiaobao they have the ability, originally a place that no one wanted to go to, but they made it like this, and Hangzhou, there used to be many fishing villages, life is not easy, since the development of water transportation, there are more boats, Hangzhou has become a prosperous place.
But the minister heard that the steel Datang who built the railway was going to make it up, and it also damaged a lot of places, not to take the railway, to build other roads, the imperial court could not spend on the supply, if there is no other medical care, education is okay, now Datang's money is taken out, it should not be enough. ”
Wang Ju first followed the flattery, and then talked about the difficulties of the court, especially the birth of children to give money and help raise them, he had never thought about it before, and he didn't dare to think about it, but now the court has a little money, but he is worried that it will not be enough.
Li Longji laughed again: "Hehe, Qing still has been in contact with Xiaobao for a short time, I don't know Xiaobao's ability, I am always with him, and I also have a realization in my heart, who has to spend the court's money to build roads?" It is enough to spend the people's money, and it is possible to issue treasury bonds.
When the road is repaired, they 'buy' things from other places, and when they return to Datang to sell the money, they will return the profits of the national bonds, and they can also let the merchants buy shares and repair the roads, and they will take a part of the benefits, and if they transport them back and forth, they will get profits for them.
In the future, if the imperial court is not in charge of trading, then the road will be charged, when will the fee be recovered, when will it end, the manpower will be cheap, give some food, and then give some money from Datang, and people from other places are very willing to come over and do hard work.
Now I'm telling you, you probably can't think it through, wait for the road to talk slowly, when you return to Beijing, with me, I let you see a good thing, and it should be made at that time, but the officials of the imperial court have joined the shares, hehe. ”
"What a baby?" Wang Ju really didn't know what powerful things the Ministry of Industry could make, he just knew that the three most important departments of Datang were in the hands of Xiaobao and Juanjuan.
One is the Sinong Temple, which is responsible for the research of new varieties of various plants in the Tang Dynasty, and is also responsible for agricultural affairs and breeding.
The second is Datang Qianzhuang, which manages Datang's money, especially taxes or something, and directly enters the Qianzhuang, and does not need to transport copper coins to the capital as before, and the money consumed on the road accounts for a large part.
In the entire Tang Dynasty, if it is said that the money village suddenly collapsed, it is estimated that many people will cry, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the lifeblood.
The third place is the Ministry of Industry, which gathers the best craftsmen in all aspects of Datang, and there are other technologies and theories waiting for craftsmen to learn to understand thoroughly.
It is not only the provision of civilian things, but more importantly, the technology used in the army, whoever masters the Ministry of Industry will hold the supply of weapons and future updates.
Even including the aspect of message transmission, things are also made by the Ministry of Industry, it is said that at the time of production, the proportion of damage is very large, but money is still invested in manufacturing, and the importance of the message is self-evident, otherwise there is no need for a beacon.
These three things have been in the hands of Xiaobao and Juan Juan, it can be said that they are in power, to put it mildly, now the two of them let the emperor of the Tang Dynasty change their surname, after a war, they must be the ones who win in the end.
What the emperor said should be from the Ministry of Industry, because I only heard that the officials of the imperial court invested money to set up a new 'company' in the Ministry of Industry.
"Is the steam engine getting smaller? Able to walk on the road like a horse-drawn carriage? Wang Ju thought about it himself, and asked guessily without waiting for others to answer.
"Qing is really extraordinary, although it is not hit, but it is not far away, it is something that replaces the carriage on the road, but it is not a steam engine that has become smaller, no matter how small the steam engine becomes, it has to burn things, where to replenish water and combustibles? Newly made things, Xiaobao and Juan Juan call it an internal combustion engine.
I also need water and boiled things, but I don't need much, when I come out, a finished product has already been done, but when it is really used, it will take some time, and the things made are easy to break, and the technology is not good.
We don't have many of the techniques mentioned by Xiaobao and Juan Juan, and some things we can only use a file to frustrate a little bit, and we can't do it at all. ”
When Li Longji talked about technology, he was full of sorrow, and he was still worried about the fact that other countries had great technology.
Wang Ju asked in wonder, "File?" Can you make a good thing with a file? ”
"Exactly." Colliers said: "Don't underestimate this file, now the apprentice wants to be an apprentice, it's not like before, the learning is more systematic, when you graduate, give the apprentice an iron rod and a file."
The more complex the things that the apprentice makes, the higher the evaluation at graduation, the better the things he can do in the future, and the higher the amount of money he can get, and the simplest one is to make a small hammer with two things, which is not only in the correct shape and used correctly, but also smooth in the mō. ”
"Huh?" Wang Ju's mouth opened and he said in surprise: "An iron rod, a file, at least to make a hammer like that?" The easy one is this, but what about the hard one? How can it be? ”
"How could it not be? I personally watched them do it, and every other day, I took it and showed it to me, until they finished it, and the most important department of Datang in the future is called Datang Heavy Industry, and the people who work in it must have a certain ability, unlike now, to deal with people first.
Xiaobao and Juan Juan's requirements are very high, saying that it is usually a two-pressure seal, when the worker does not use the pressure instrument, blow it with his mouth, he can know the approximate degree of sealing, the error of two millimeters of the workpiece, with his hand or eyes, he can directly see it, and so on.
Regardless of whether there are more advanced tools to measure, people who do things must do it with their own experience and ability, because this is the essence of heavy industry, they said, in some places, the same parts, after different people assemble them, the accuracy is different, even if they are given the same measuring tools. ”
When Li Longji spoke, it seemed that the current people of the Ministry of Industry of Datang could do it, and he looked very proud.
Wang Ju was stupid, thinking about what Xiaobao and Juan Juan said can people do, as for the place that the emperor said, it is naturally the place where the master behind the family came out, so that's the case.
When Wang Ju was shocked, far away, a fleet of boats appeared on the lake, and it gradually became larger.
"Your Majesty, Xiaobao, they are here." When Gao Lishi saw the fleet, he took the binoculars from the person next to him and looked at them carefully, and said to Li Longji.
"Just coming? I thought I would come and wait for me, but I didn't expect to let me wait, and we met for a while to see how I cleaned them up, hum! ”
Li Longji said with a dissatisfied face.
After waiting a little more than a quarter of an hour, the two fleets finally converged, and the long ropes were thrown over, and in the middle of them was immediately laid with rolled up planks, that is, the narrow planks were threaded with ropes, like mats.
As soon as the wooden board was laid, a small figure ran over from the opposite side, and the little tuǐ jumped upside down and threw himself directly into Li Longji's arms, saying: "Uncle Emperor, I miss you, do you miss me, do you miss me?" If I hadn't thought about it, I wouldn't be happy. ”
"Oh, be light, yes, yes, think, think about it during the day and think about it at night, and think about eating, let me see, thin or not? No, it's sinking again, how do you eat it? ”
Li Longji hugged Xiaobei, who had grown a little taller, and said happily.
"I'm still young, I've been growing, of course I'm sinking, I'm not fat, I'm not fat at all, I've exercised, and I've caught people in the water? We are amazing, Brother Xiaohai is injured, and the emperor's uncle wants to avenge us and clean up people, but we are not allowed to say brothers and sisters. ”
Becky waved her fist and talked about her catching people in the water.
Li Longji just said that the others came to clean up, and then he hurriedly said: "Don't clean up, your brothers and sisters have made great contributions, and you have also made meritorious contributions, so you want to be rewarded, say, what do you want?" ”
"What do you want? Me, I don't know what to want? I just want to see the emperor's uncle happy, wait for me to go back and discuss it with them, let's discuss it and ask for it, we don't want it in vain, wait until Luzhou, we will personally go to the sea to get something for the emperor's uncle to eat, and let my brother do it, okay? ”
Xiaobei thought about it, thought about it, and still didn't think of what reward he should want after his meritorious service, so he only pondered about meritorious service before.
"What about me?" Wang Ju rushed to the emperor's side as soon as he saw his granddaughter coming, his face sank, and asked.
"Huh? Grandfather, grandfather, I'll tell you ........ Xiaobei left Li Longji's side again and threw herself into Wang Ju's arms, no one was offended.
As he spoke, the other children, as well as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, also came over, and the two Pan'er brothers and sisters who were originally in the cabin also ran over and shouted happily, the two of them were already able to remember people, knowing that the one in front of them was their father, and their eyes looked around, looking for their mother.
"Zhang Xiaobao, Zhang Jiedu, you are so bold, you dare to let me wait for you, say, what crime should you be guilty of?" Li Longji glared at Zhang Xiaobao when he saw him.
"Eh, please ask Your Majesty for forgiveness, your Majesty deserves death, the minister should first throw down the livelihood of Xunyang, and wait for Your Majesty first, and the minister will talk to the people of Xunyang when he turns around, saying that he will not do what he promised them, and then discuss it when His Majesty is angry, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
Zhang Xiaobao bowed down and pleaded guilty.
"Don't scare the people, I ask you, how should this matter be over?" Li Longji asked about the person he caught.
