Chapter 264: Tian Ren enters the cabinet

readx;

Just when the Qin Dynasty and the opposition were still looking forward to the two things of the Medical Department and the Royal Medical Pavilion, and most people did not notice, dozens of branches of the Wanli Traveling Car Company quietly opened their doors for business at the same time on the 15th day of February in the 10th year of the 2nd century.

There is no fanfare of congratulations, no deliberate publicity, and it is carried out silently.

When the people of the counties woke up after fifteen nights, they found that there were many more horse-drawn carts in the city with the words "Ten Thousand Miles of Travel" and logos.

The fact that the Wanli Carriage Shop could appear in the fifty-six counties of Qin at the same time and open for business on the same day in just one night is such a huge gesture except for Hu Hai, the Holy Son of Heaven, the second emperor of Qin, and it is obvious that no one in this world can complete it.

The Qin transportation system, which Huhai had laid out for several years, began to show its signs as the traffic shops changed to all the counties and cities in the country.

The steam locomotive at the Handan Iron Yard was successfully tested last year. Although it only spewed majestic white steam, it ran less than fifty meters before it turned off and stopped moving.

The panicked Tian Dan and more than 100 other Mo craftsmen were so frightened that they were all frightened when they saw such a scene, and they prostrated on the ground and pleaded guilty. The Son of Heaven received the news and rushed to Handan from Xianyang Road, but the chain fell at a critical time, how could he not let Tian Dan and the others panic?

This is a crime of deception!

The Nine Clans may just be light.

Originally, in Hu Hai's opinion, the steam engine head could start and run ten meters away, but he didn't expect that the steel monster that seemed to fall apart at any time was stubbornly spewing white steam and running for more than fifty meters.

Tian Dan and the others didn't know, but Hu Hai knew very well what these short fifty meters and 100 steps meant to Qin, to the world, and to the entire human race.

It is not clear whether the later Midi landed on the moon is true or false, but the words said by the astronauts who landed on the moon Hu Hai thinks it is very suitable for today's Qin.

Fifty meters may only be considered a small step. But this steam locomotive was a step that Hu Hai did not expect.

Originally, in his opinion, there is no ten or twenty years, even if he has his unreliable layman to do some guidance in some directions, but it cannot fundamentally change the immature nature of science and technology in today's era, and the steam engine can only be his own imagination.

It's just that Tian Dan or the Mo craftsman gave Hu Hai too many surprises.

Because in the Handan Iron Field, Hu Hai immediately saw the tools needed to make this simple and ugly steam locomotive head, the machine tool.

Hu Hai didn't know how these Mo craftsmen made the mother machine from the wood they gave them out of steel. But you don't need to ask Hu Hai to know what a huge amount of effort Tian Dan and others have put into this mother machine.

Surprise relative to the steam head. This half-steel, half-wood machine tool brought Hu Hai far more surprises than the steam locomotive that had not yet been formed.

Only with this machine can some mechanical equipment such as lathes, milling machines, planers and grinding machines be possible. And as soon as these devices appeared, then Qin's heavy industry could take off. Only steel-cast artillery and even muskets are possible.

But the giant mother machine told Hu Hai that the so-called mother machine of Qin, which was extremely simple, was still too primitive. Of course, everything starts with the first step.

With this primitive mother machine as a beginning. When more accurate weights and measures are established and generalized, the mother machine will definitely evolve, only becoming more advanced and more accurate.

There is still a long way to go.

The rails used to test the stability of the steel are collectively deformed after the winter snow. Since it is deformed, it means that the quality of the steel smelted in Handan Iron Field is still not up to par.

Fortunately, Hu Hai is not short of time. Unless he dies suddenly, he can live for at least forty or fifty years. Although forty or fifty years is not a long time, in Hu Hai's opinion, it is enough to squander it.

The journey is only the first step in Qin's transportation system.

The steam engine head can really be put into use, and the steel smelted in the Handan Iron Works can stand the test of time, which takes time.

Thousands of miles of driving spread across the country. Hu Hai then announced the reform of the Ministry of Industry at the court meeting.

Remembering the old age of Zheng Guo, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Hu Hai, the son of heaven, gave Zheng Guo Zhishi and entered the cabinet to participate in politics. Zheng Guo retired, and Tian Ren, the original right Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, was immediately promoted to the new Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

At the same time, the Ministry of Household Affairs established a new commercial department on the basis of the original four divisions. manage the merchants and trade circulation of the whole country in Qin; The Department of Household Registration is in charge of the household registration and naturalization of the people of Qin.

After all. The target of the Royal Medical Center and the introduction of various decrees of Qin in the future will be based on Qin people with Qin household registration certificates, and it will not be something that anyone can enjoy. At this time, there was not much concept of national borders, and there were not so many monitoring methods, so the only thing that could be used as a certificate could only rely on the household registration certificate issued by the Ministry of Households.

It is expected that there will be a large influx of people into Qin in the next few decades. With Qin's current population base, Hu Hai didn't have to worry about Qin's population not being large at all, and it would only take less than fifty years for Qin's population to triple or even quadruple. In this way, it is necessary to control the foreign population, so as to ensure that the rights and interests of the Qin people and the welfare enjoyed by them are not encroached upon by outsiders.

The Department of Household Registry was set up specifically for this purpose. Not only that, but soon all the frontiers of Qin, especially the northwest frontier, must strictly verify and control the alien races entering the territory of Qin and the Qin people who go out of the Qin state.

Tian Ren's promotion really set off a lot of waves in the Qin Dynasty. As the courtiers had expected, the emperor promoted another important minister to the cabinet in order to maintain the balance of the cabinet office.

Although this method of entering the cabinet is different from what the courtiers had imagined. But it has to be said that it is also the most suitable.

Tian Ren was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and his entry into the cabinet was already a foregone conclusion. If you count the Shangshu Bianyu of the Ministry of Medicine, who has already entered the cabinet before Tian Renbu and won the position of Shangshu, the hundreds of schools of thought that were originally like lost dogs and insignificant at all have already occupied two pivotal positions in the Cabinet Office, the highest authority in Qin.

The Mo family is not the most important family of the hundred schools, and the doctor family was even more insignificant before. Even these two people have entered the cabinet, so what about the current Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Kong Kun, the Confucian leader of Zuo Cheng who actually holds the Qin Royal Academy?
