Without stopping in Anqing, Luo Jian and his entourage went directly to the ship from Anqing Wharf and returned to Nanjing.

Liu Lan was paying attention to Luo Jian all the way, and when she saw Luo Jian getting on the boat in Anqing, her mood was already cheerful, and she was secretly happy in her heart.

What Liu Lan didn't know was that Luo Jian had secretly made up his mind that driving the Manchus out of China was not his ultimate goal, and that making the people's lives better was the most fundamental goal.

Luo Jian set a clear goal for himself, that is, to use his hometown as a reference, so that children can go to school and villagers can live in brick houses.

Before this, even if the intelligent system assessed that several of his people could return to the original time and space, Luo Jian decided not to go back.

Luo Jian didn't tell Liu Lan about this idea, since they got married, both of them have tried their best to avoid the topic of returning to the original time and space, and both of them understand that one day, they will have to face this problem that makes both of them helpless.

Luo Jian, who returned to Nanjing, was counted down by the old lady, and the old lady blamed him for taking Liu Lan, who was not yet out of confinement, so far, Luo Jian was a little unbearable, and Liu Lan stuffed Xiao Luo Ting to the old lady to make the old man stop.

Luo Jian's trip to his hometown felt that there were many problems, and the most direct one was how to improve the living standards of farmers.

What I learned from my hometown is that there is not a lot of land in each peasant family, with an average of nearly twenty-five acres or more, which is impossible in Luo Jian's time and space, Luo Jian remembers that his family only had five or six acres of paddy fields and one or two acres of dry land when he was a child.

The most critical problem is the extremely low level of production of seeds that do not produce high yields. Severe shortages of fertilizers, combined with poor farming practices, result in very low yields in the fields. Despite the abundance of land, the extremely low yields of the land prevent farmers from escaping poverty.

Take sweet potatoes as an example, Luo Jian's yield per mu when they tried planting was several thousand catties, but what they learned in their hometown was that the yield per mu was only four or five hundred catties.

"The fertilizer industry must be developed!" In Shi Kefa's office, Luo Jian said firmly.

"That's right! You can make this decision, and it's not in vain that you can make a trip! Shi Kefa said happily.

The two discussed it and immediately held a meeting. The decision to build two more large chemical plants is not a small investment for the current Nanjing government. What's more, both Luo Jian and Shi Kefa decided to provide farmers with fertilizer only at cost price for the first two years.

Although this would make the finances a little tight, no one objected to this decision, and even Zhu Yujian voted in favor.

There have been a lot of detours, although it is far from mature technology. But chemical plants now have no problem producing basic fertilizers. With a decision, the relevant departments immediately began to make various preparations.

While preparing to build a chemical plant, Luo Jian decided to increase investment in various research institutes, and strive to make some breakthroughs in a short period of time.

Three years is not enough time for Luo Jian to know which system is more suitable for this era, Luo Jian is not a politician, and his thinking about the social system is only at a very shallow level, and the education he received since childhood also limited him from trying more.

Luo Jian didn't want to make such an attempt, the people were too bitter. He can't toss them again because of his own attempts, Luo Jian only hopes to make their lives better. Even if it's slower.

What can be done now is to develop science and technology as much as possible, and use technological progress to make the social cake as big as possible, so that more people can benefit from it.

Technological breakthroughs are entirely possible, and the most important thing is to have a theory and direction. Although some of the basic industries that have been built with great efforts in the past few years are far from being a complete industrial system, they have indeed laid a good foundation for future development.

Some of the people who relied on Luo Jian and Liu Weimin to lead them into the door have now begun to diverge in scientific and technological research, which Luo Jian and Liu Weimin are very happy to see.

Mr. Song Yingxing is now obsessed with the study of the internal combustion engine, although the exploitation of oil is far from being put on the agenda, but the old gentleman feels that the internal combustion engine has incomparable advantages compared with the steam engine, he hopes to get the internal combustion engine out in his lifetime, the old gentleman even wants to dismantle the engine of the Mengshi car, Liu Weimin did not agree.

Fang Yizhi studied hard in the institute for a few months, and now he plunged into the workshop, mixed with Chen Zilong all day long, and began to make substantial improvements to the machine tool, according to his own words, the efficiency of the improved machine tool will be greatly improved, someone asked how much it will be improved, Fang Yizhi smiled and did not answer.

Zhu Cihuan's progress in electromagnetic learning made Luo Jian particularly satisfied, and some of the questions he asked now could not be answered even by Luo Jian. Luo Jian estimated that it was not too much of a problem for Zhu Cihuan to get the generator and motor out of the laboratory within half a year.

What made both Luo Jian and Liu Lan feel a little strange was Wang Xu, his interest in physics at the beginning, I don't know what made him enter the study of mathematics thoroughly, and calculus is no longer a problem for him now.

Liu Weimin felt that she had the potential to become Marie Curie, because after she became obsessed with chemistry, she had almost nothing else except eating and sleeping, in order to ensure her research, Liu Weimin even arranged for her a woman and a maid to take care of her life.

The reason why Luo Jian is sure that he has made a big breakthrough in technology is because these people are not just studying alone, but they all have a group of young people behind them to learn, and in the near future, these young people will take the lead in science and technology.

Fortunately, when the institute was first established, the location chosen was not far from the place where Guozijian was located, and now that Nanjing National University has been established, these top students in various disciplines will teach at the university and do their own research and research.

For these people, the Nanjing government gave them extremely high salaries, their monthly salaries were higher than those of Luo Jian and Shi Kefa, and the Nanjing government built a number of villas near the research institute and provided them free of charge.

Although Song Yingxing expressed their dissatisfaction with the government giving them such a high salary, and they believed that the government should spend more money on education than on a few of them, Luo Jian insisted that he wanted to form a kind of orientation in society and let more people participate in the study and research of scientific knowledge.

The government's emphasis on science and technology has indeed caused great repercussions in Nanjing, and although no longer people say that science and technology are "miraculous and ingenious," there are still many ideas that are not taken seriously.

The idea of studying for officials formed over thousands of years is not something that can be completely corrected in two or three years, and many scholars still refuse to give up the "study of the saints" and look forward to the day when the government will "change its mind" and open the door to the imperial examination again.

An article in Ming Pao attacking the government's policy on science and technology sparked a big discussion in the media circles, and no one knew that the article was actually written by Luo Jian.

Luo Jian hopes that through this collision of ideas and concepts, more people will understand the importance of science and technology, so that former scholars can get out of the pile of old papers, completely give up the idea of studying for the sake of becoming officials, and start to learn really useful things.

The big discussion between the "China Daily" and the "Ming Pao" lasted for more than half a month, and the "China Daily" finally won a complete victory, and the newly established Science and Technology Committee played an extremely crucial role.

Originally, the Nanjing government was ready to set up a Ministry of Science and Technology, but after careful consideration, Luo Jian discussed with Liu Lanhe and Liu Weimin for a long time, and then decided not to set up a management body within the government, but to list the Science and Technology Committee separately, and the government to provide funds for it according to a certain proportion of fiscal revenue.

Luo Jian seriously thought about it, with a few of his own people, the current government can still provide some guidance for the development of science and technology, and when a few of them are gone, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the government in the future to do it, Luo Jian wants to institutionalize the development and management of science and technology.

Dolgon was slightly relieved that the Nanjing side had stopped its large-scale offensive, and if the Nanjing government continued the Shandong offensive, Dolgon really did not know how long the Manchu court would be able to hold out.

Although the war stopped, Dolgon did not feel that life was better, these days of the Chinese New Year, Dolgon almost every night to sleep had nightmares, dreaming of tens of thousands of Qing soldiers lying under the city of Jinan.

In fact, Dolgon knew best that the Wehrmacht in Jinan City could defeat more than 100,000 people with a few thousand people by relying on extremely advanced weapons, and he also knew that the Nanjing government stopped the attack, not because they were ready to let the Manchu court go, but because their production capacity could not keep up, which gave Dolgon some confidence.

Two days ago, he personally went to see the new army trained by Azig, but he was extremely dissatisfied. The training methods of the Wehrmacht have long been reported in Beijing in detail, but Azig does not seem to have trained the new army in strict accordance with them.

Azig did not take Dolgon's arrival seriously, and the reception arrangements were extremely thoughtful, and he did not put his eldest brother on the shelf in front of Dolgon.

Azig asked the new army to give Dolgon's performance very lively, one by one the riflemen took turns, a few bullets could hit the target, and the hit was quite accurate, but Dolgon frowned when he looked at it, and always felt that something was wrong.

Fan Wencheng, who accompanied Dolgon, saw some clues, opened his mouth to say something, looked at Azig with an excited face, and closed his mouth again. Fan Wencheng's action was seen by Dolgon, and Dolgon didn't speak, stood up and went back with Fan Wencheng.

"Mr. Fan, do you think something is wrong?" As soon as he left the New Army, Dorgon asked impatiently.

"Qiyu Regent, the minister thinks that the Prince of England is training musketeers as archers, and the minister personally supervises the manufacture of this kind of musket, knowing that the most difficult thing is its loading, if you don't increase the loading speed, and don't let a phalanx move uniformly, it will be difficult to form a piece of firepower, and the killing effect will be greatly reduced."

Fan Wencheng glanced at Dolgon, saw that he did not show displeasure, and continued:

"The minister also asked in detail from the generals who had fought with the Wehrmacht, the training level of the Wehrmacht is extremely high, and skilled musketeers can shoot three shots in a minute, and their battle formations change extremely quickly, which is beyond the reach of our Daxin Army."

Grandfather clocks and pocket watches have long been spread in the city of Beijing, and the concept of hours and minutes is no stranger to Dorgon, who has a pocket watch made in Nanjing in his arms.

Listening to Fan Wencheng's words, Dolgon's brows tightened, and his face changed.

"Chen thinks..."Fan Wencheng looked at Dolgon and stopped talking.

"Mr. Fan, this king thinks that Mr. is loyal to me in the Qing Dynasty, and it doesn't hurt if Mr. has something to say." Dolgon saw Fan Wencheng's hesitation. (To be continued.) )
