[I've been on a business trip these days, I'm too busy, I'll try to reply to the second update tomorrow, and at the same time adjust my state and work hard to write the follow-up chapters, this book is still long.] 】

The two books Yijing are not for craftsmen, the former mainly discusses the iron and steel industry, and the latter is a mechanical theory similar to Newton's three theories of mechanics. Last year, Tang Sunho was transferred from the head of the Hanlin Academy to the dean of Whampoa College, and is preparing to set up the Gewu and Chemistry Branches in the college, and these two books are scheduled to be used as the teaching materials of the Gewu Branch.

After turning a few pages, the clanging sound of the steam engine became clearer and clearer, Tang Sunhao shook his head helplessly, got up and closed the glass window, and saw a puff of black smoke straight into the sky, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

This steam engine...... It's really a double benefit.

Whampoa College has also recently learned from places such as Wuya Palace, using a steam engine to pump water to the water tower, and then using an iron pipe to send water directly into the house, so that washing, stoves, toilets and other Pepsi are extremely comfortable. In the past, although there were also pottery pipes for water supply, it took manpower and animal power to press the water, and except for a few places, most people could not enjoy this convenience.

With the steam engine, coupled with the valve and pipeline technology learned from the British, the urban waterworks and water distribution networks that had been drawn up by the Ministry of Works and the General Supervisor for a long time were becoming a reality step by step, and ordinary people could enjoy the treatment of water dragons entering their homes and bathing at any time, and the water was also intensively eliminated and much cleaner than the water of the rivers. On this one, this world has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with the previous life, and there is a hidden style of the world of Datong and wealth. Now the streets of Huangpu are all open-hearted, and they are all paving water and iron pipes.

This is only a very small application of the steam engine, looking at the Whampoa College with many buildings, it is all three or four or even five or six storey long buildings, in the past, I don't know how many good wood will be used. Even if a building is built with cement that has been in place for a long time, cement needs to be mixed on site before it can be used, and it takes a lot of time to build a building, and it also requires a lot of manpower and animal power.

Qingtian Infrastructure and Chaoshan Shenshi Industrial Construction used steam engines to crush and stir stones, greatly speeding up the construction of buildings and saving a lot of manpower. Not only did Huangpu College expand its institute quickly, but only in Yingtianfu, in just three or four years, a large number of new blocks were established.

There are too many benefits, since the invention of the steam engine three or four years ago, Tang Sunho has lost count of how many changes in the country have come from this thing.

But the downside is also apparent, just like in front of me, the noise is loud and black smoke is filled. Huangpu College still has only one steam engine for pumping water, Foshan, Foshan Iron and Steel and Foshan Manufacturing Bureau are said to have hundreds of units, at the same time, the city is full of ghosts crying wolves, black clouds urge the city, some people even jokingly call Foshan "Black Mountain".

Take your time, there must be a process to promote the pros and disadvantages......

As soon as Tang Sunho thought so, the professor of the academy ran over in a panic: "Dean, some students have gone to the Temple of Heaven and want to give advice to the officials and ministers of the political hall, saying that the steam engine harms the heavens and the people. ”

Tang Sunho frowned and said, "Nonsense! A bunch of little indignant people who haven't read the book thoroughly, what qualifications do they have to speak on behalf of the sky, and what qualifications do they have to ask for the lives of the people!? Who are they, how many are there!? ”

The professor wiped his sweat and said: "From the heavenly society, more than a dozen people ......."

Tang Sunho's anger disappeared suddenly: "Those barbarians who can't wait to drink blood? Forget it, let them go. ”

When the steam engine roared out, it was also like opening a door to the state of mind, making the middle school students who were originally in the entangled chaos more clear.

Earlier, there were the Virtuous Party, the Confucian Party and the Taoist Party in the country, and as the Taoist Party of Baicheng College spread to all walks of life in the country, Tiandao Lun often gradually dissolved the Virtuous Party and the Confucian Party.

It seems that it will be a situation in which the Dao Party will unify Yinghua, and the next complicated changes will make the name "Dao Party" soon become a thing of the past. On the one hand, with the advent of the steam engine, the "truth science" of the instrument and the theory of the instrument was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it also began to become the way for the Confucian Party to enter the Tao with reason. On the one hand, there is a surge of Western learning, which complements the study of truth and the east and west, and also introduces many different directions of thinking.

And the most important thing is the prosperity of the "retro" style of Yinghua, through the collection of old books, sorting out old theories, Yinghua readers began to re-understand the expositions of the ancient pre-Qin sages. With these ruminations, the new learning of the East and the West has been carried down, and the government and the opposition have called this tide of cleansing people's hearts "the revival of ancient studies".

The Taoist Party, which had not yet been fully formed, was decomposed into countless factions in this tide, mainly including the "Yili School" with Yang Zhu as the banner, the "Zizai School" with Lao Zhuang as the banner, the "Datong School" with Mo Zhai as the banner, the "Truth School" with the new interpretation of Confucius and Mencius and Cheng Zhu Lixue as the root, the "Truth School" with the banner of Huang Wang Gu in the late Ming Dynasty, and the "Tianfa School" with the Heavenly Tao as the law and the "Tianfa School" that reinterpreted the expositions of Shang Ying, Han Fei, Li Si and others. ..., among these factions, the righteous faction emphasizes weighing, the truth faction emphasizes introspection, and the Tianfa faction is too ruthless, and the three factions are all based on practical political opinions, and the young people with strong blood do not like it very much. The "Freedom School" emphasizes personal happiness and the pursuit of leisure, while the "Datong School" takes the world's great harmony as the ultimate in the world, which is very romantic, so the students in the college revolve around these two factions. What "Freedom Society", "Immortal Society", "Mo Society", and "Zhitong Society", the college is full of these student clubs.

The political affairs hall, the Ministry of Education, and even the emperor himself did not react to the Guangxing student clubs in the academy, after all, these clubs were different from the previous student parties. In the past, the study of the party held the idea of ancient learning, and regarded other learning as an enemy of the world. At present, these societies are just different directions based on the same foundation.

In terms of feelings, these societies also have their own distastes. For example, the free faction, the shape of the skeleton is dissolute, spends all day drinking, likes pleasure and does not want to betray responsibility, is particularly disgusted with the old way, and always wants to deviate from the norm. And the Datong faction likes to interfere with others, impose their own will, spread compassion for others, and are picky about new things and new things. In a way, the two factions actually have a lot in common.

The extremists in the Freedom Sect are the "Immortal Society", and Tang Sunho called it "a madman who wants to use Gewu Chemistry to ascend to immortals", and the extremists in the Datong faction are this "Heavenly Society", they are the faction that turned to Mo Zhai after the Confucian Party was suppressed. Under the banner of "everyone is the same, heaven and man are the same", he preached a new theory of the unity of heaven and man, and always misbehaved with new things and new learning, xiwang returned to the "ancient holy world" and returned to "pure nature", so he was scolded by Tang Sunhao as "a barbarian who drinks blood".

As mentioned earlier, although the direction is far from the south, the ideological foundation of each faction is that the way of heaven is endless, and heaven and man are three, so it is not enough to draw swords against each other when they meet. And the means by which they express their ideological appeals also follow the normal channels of Yinghua today. The newspaper said that shouting at the rally that the gang of "Heavenly Society" went to the Temple of Heaven to "admonish" was the most radical expression.

Students are students, don't gather at the big middle gate to quarrel, you want to quarrel and go to the political hall, the official family has been in a bad mood recently......

This is just a very small matter, Tang Sunho didn't care, and instructed the professor to send someone to heaven to keep an eye on people, so as not to let those students make too much trouble, and continue to do his own thing.

Tang Sunho didn't expect that these students of the Heavenly Society would really make a big move.

In the political affairs hall, the second assistant Liu Xingchun's forehead jumped with blue tendons: "Bring the guards!" Take down those gossip students! ”

The voices of the boiling people came in from outside, surging like the tide of the sea, and there were thousands of people listening to the movement, all shouting "stop the steam engine, return my old world!" ”

This slogan is written in crepe, and it is obviously made up by the students.

Shoufu Li Zhushou shook his head on the ground: "A group of students, why is this? There is another root for this movement, we have to look at that root? ”

Wu Yaluo, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, shrugged his shoulders: "Those people must have come from Beitang, Foshan, and the steam engine of Foshan Iron and Steel and Foshan Manufacturing Bureau can make them suffer enough." What is there to say about this, Foshan Iron and Steel and Foshan Manufacturing Bureau have just built a new factory in Beitang, do they want to move out? ”

Tang Youzeng, a servant under the door, said: "But the voice of the people is here, you can't be uneasy, this is not the first time." ”

Li Zhushou also nodded: "Indeed, there are more and more steam engines, which are used in wood shops, paper mills, weaving mills, and even rice mills." Now it's just some people in Foshan and Dongguan who come to make trouble, and I don't know how many people will come to make trouble in the future, and there must be a big charter for this matter. ”

"The charter is simple, just let the people who benefit from the steam engine come forward."

Xue Xue's voice sounded, he had just come in from the gate, covered in rotten vegetable leaves, and had obviously been baptized by the people.

"The people who benefited from the steam engine are ten or even a hundred times more likely to be harmed by the steam engine! With them, we don't have to be in front. Go and spread the news with the East and West Courtyards, and say that the Political Affairs Hall is considering controlling the steam engine, and it is strange to see that the affairs of the two courtyards do not jump! They are clamoring for the people, let's ...... Just conform to the will of the people. ”

Xue Xue arranged this matter properly, and Li Zhushou and Liu Xingchun were relieved, after all, they were disciples of the national teacher.

Tang Youzeng was a little dissatisfied: "Although there are few victims, they are always people, how can you abandon their interests and ignore them?" ”

Xue Xue spread her hands: "We are solving problems, not discussing right and wrong." In the past three or four years, because of the rise of the steam engine, our country, all industries have prospered, and all the people have benefited a lot. ”…,

Tang You was speechless, this is too correct. Just now, according to the old practice of previous years, their government hall estimated the national income of the Holy Path for nine years, and the figure calculated was 70 million taels! 70 million taels, the Holy Way is only 35 million taels in five years, and it has doubled in four years......

This is from Yinghua doubling down on the people's fat and people's ointment?

Of course not, since the advent of the steam engine, the production and sales of steel, shipbuilding, silk and cotton weaving, and even cement and glass have erupted suddenly, and the most significant is steel, which has risen almost three or five times a year. With the steam engine, the cost of steel smelting and forging has dropped rapidly, and machinery made of steel has entered all walks of life. The steel industry itself alone, Shengdao has contributed two million taels of production tax in eight years, not counting other industries driven by it.

At the same time, the prosperity of the Nanyang colonization also contributed a large amount of royalty silver. Nanzhou, which was discovered at the end of last year, I don't know how big a cornucopia is, and after the political hall learned about it, it even held a special celebration banquet, which was a century-old new business of Yinghua.

There is also Gangnam...... As a place where Yinghua capital rolls and commercial goods are poured out, the ministers of the political hall don't talk about Jiangnan much anymore, for many reasons, but the biggest reason is that it is something in the bowl, and it is no longer worth paying more attention to.

The 70 million taels of national revenue is still the figure after a considerable part of the national revenue is included in the provincial finance, and if this part is added, it is almost close to 100 million taels.

Although the steam engine is not the only factor that pushes up the national income, it is the most core element, and the income of the industry and commerce and the people is proportional to the national income.

Qu Chengshuo, the secretary of the Ministry of Education, frowned and said: "The steam engine is indeed harmful to the people, Foshan Iron and Steel's recently built iron-smelting furnace uses a newly built large steam engine, the black smoke of burning coal, plus the exhaust gas of smelting steel, when the clouds are heavy, it stinks ten miles away, and the smoke is smoky within five miles, and the vision ......is blurred."

Everyone is silent, and this is indeed true, but what can be done?

Wu Yaluo's laughter broke the silence: "In the past, when we burned the charcoal kiln, we also had a headache about this problem. But as the saying goes, everything is good and disadvantageous, and it is completely possible for the general to find someone to study how to reduce tobacco and eliminate harm, and let the industry and commerce pay for it. Speaking of which, if there is no trouble from those people outside, I am afraid that no one cares about these things. ”

Xue Xue proposed the direction, and Wu Yaluo gave a solution, how to appease those who were victimized by the steam engine, all of them are important ministers who are old in government affairs, so there is no need to talk about it.

Tang You once said again: "This matter ...... Do you want the officials to also approve an opinion? ”

Everyone's faces darkened, and Li Zhushou shook his head resolutely: "The official family needs to cultivate his body and mind, and there is no need to bother him about this little thing." ”

There was a long sigh, and there was a trace of sadness in everyone's eyes.
