There are many things that interest Fang Yizhi, and there are many research groups in the Royal Academy of Science and Technology today, but the steam engine is the thing that Fang Yizhi feels has the most potential and can benefit the people of the world.

Especially after Fang Yizhi learned the research direction of trains and ships, he was even more fascinated. If it were to be realized, how much convenience would this tireless machine bring to people?

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the biggest achievement of the Royal Academy of Science and Technology is to overcome the soda production industry technology, so that people can produce soda ash on a large scale.

In the past seven years, the acid industry has also entered the final technical breakthrough. Based on the manufacturing methods obtained in the laboratory, acid production equipment has been manufactured, and these equipment are constantly being improved due to minor problems.

There is also a student at the Royal Academy of Science and Technology named Zhou Fuhai, who is the tester who invented the paper bullet in the first place. After receiving the emperor's reward, Zhou Fuhai entered the Royal Academy of Science and Technology for further study.

Zhou Fuhai didn't have any lofty ideals, he only knew that military inventions could make money. As long as the military technology needed by the imperial court is developed, there is no worry about no money and no status. Therefore, Zhou Fuhai studied very hard, and the hard face was to develop military technology.

After some study, Zhou Fuhai set his sights on the research and development of zha, medicine and gunpowder.

Acid production methods are already well established in the laboratory, and sulfuric acid can be obtained through the smelting of sulfide minerals such as pyrite and is a by-product.

Today's difficulty lies only in the nitric acid production process, nitric acid is obtained through ammonia oxidation, and the natural ammonia source is not so sufficient, so the Royal Institute of Science and Technology is developing equipment for the production of synthetic ammonia, but many technical difficulties have not been overcome.

Of course, these did not prevent Zhou Fuhai from developing ZHA. Medicine. Or a safe zha medicine.

The Royal Institute of Science and Technology has developed a smoke-free huoyao very easily. It is nothing more than nitric acid plus sulfuric acid. However, this thing is very unstable, in other words, it is very unsafe, and there have been several explosions that have killed several students. So much so that none of the students of the Royal Academy of Science and Technology dare to touch this thing today.

Zhou Fuhai was in the face of difficulties, and was supported by the emperor, and provided him with a research direction, that is, to improve the stability of smokeless huoyao by adding a certain substance, and also matched him with manpower. A research grant was also provided.

At this time, Zhou Fuhai was constantly experimenting with various substances, and through continuous attempts, he was looking for substances that could stabilize smoke-free huoyao.

This is the problem that Western science does not have a systematic theory, and if there is a systematic theory like Chinese medicine, there is no need to be so troublesome.

The theory of traditional Chinese medicine has extended a lot of prescriptions. If these prescriptions were all slowly experimented like this, with the productive forces of ancient China, there would simply not be the financial resources to test so many prescriptions. The main reason why so many prescriptions can be combined is that Chinese medicine has developed the theory of dispensing through the core theory. It can be based on 'Yin and Yang, Four Qi, Five Flavors, and Seven Emotions'. The patient's physical condition is different to make a flexible combination of drugs.

It is precisely this flexibility that makes TCM one person. The same prescription for two people with the same condition may not be effective.

Therefore, a reliable Chinese medicine practitioner needs to master the core, which requires a certain understanding. Later generations are also lacking in understanding, so they make a mess of Chinese medicine.

Of course, Western medicine also needs to be developed, because Chinese medicine is too difficult to cultivate, and the reality is that the number of reliable Chinese medicine practitioners is not large, and it cannot meet the huge market demand.

Western medicine is a template-based batch training, which can be very fast, and does not require any good understanding, as long as it can be completed according to the process.

But Chinese medicine can't be lost, after all, Western medicine has a pitfall.

Therefore, now Zhu Youxiao is also taking the route of parallel Chinese and Western medicine, but it is definitely not the route of combining Chinese and Western medicine. History has proven that the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is bound to fail. Because the difference between the two concepts is too big, it is not a level of stuff at all.

The parallel practice of Chinese and Western medicine means that the two do not interfere with each other.

Nowadays, Western medicine is not called Western medicine in Daming, but surgery. The biggest reason for the success of Western medicine is the success of surgery.

Traditional Chinese medicine is cultivated as usual, after some rectification in Tai Hospital over the years, the academic atmosphere has become more and more intense, and a large number of apprentices have been selected to train from an early age, and what they learn is not the Eight Outlines of Syndrome Differentiation, but the traditional Six Classics Syndrome Differentiation.

As for the stupidest method used in scientific research today, it is impossible to try it one by one. Although the ancient Heluo Zhixue is obviously a super civilization, the current level of scientific and technological development is too low, and there is no one who can integrate it.

The development of science and technology has continuously improved the productive forces, and the manpower and material resources that can be invested in scientific research have increased.

What Zhu Youxiao didn't know was that Fang Yizhi, the first person in history to integrate Taoist academic theories with Western science, had already arrived at the Royal Academy.

Fang Yizhi was born in a family of eunuchs who inherited Yiyi, and was familiar with the study of "River" and "Luo", and at this time he came into contact with the mathematics, physics and chemistry of the Royal Academy of Science and Technology, and had embarked on a road of integration between the advanced and the low.

Today's problem is that the high-level is too advanced, and the low-level is too low-level, and if there is a mastery of it, then a balance can be achieved.

Zhou Fuhai's experiments have made considerable progress, mainly in the production and transportation of smokeless huoyao, and some breakthroughs have been made, which has strengthened the stability of gunpowder.

Zhu Youxiao didn't have too urgent needs for smokeless huoyao, because Da Ming didn't have any strong enemies to deal with with these things for the time being.

Zhu Youxiao was more concerned about the acid industry, which, once established, would be able to produce chemical fertilizers in large quantities.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the military activities of the Ming Dynasty were mainly concentrated in the Western Regions, mainly to implement the system formulated by Zhu Youxiao.

It also takes a lot of troops to concentrate, suppress, and manage those alien races. There must be restless guys, as long as they are resolutely cut at the beginning, and then give those peaceful aliens a way to live. In a few years, the situation will be completely stabilized.

Now Daming is immigrating everywhere. Development activities in the Tohoku region have not stopped. The demand for labor is increasing further.

At the same time, immigrants to the Western Regions, the South Seas, and the Southern Hemisphere also need population.

The immigration notice has been posted throughout the provinces of Daming, as long as you are willing to immigrate, you can register with the government, and the official bears the travel expenses.

This kind of migration has given those poor people a way out.

The tree dies, and the man lives. These immigration activities have provided a way for the people who cannot live their lives, and the general people will not starve to death.

In both the northern and southern provinces, people have been given the opportunity to emigrate. Zhu Youxiao also used these immigration methods to largely solve the problem of the basic right to survival of the Ming people. But this solution is not complete.

However, it is gratifying that more and more people living in slums in cities and towns across the country have chosen to emigrate. The people who would live in the slums were displaced people who had abandoned their land, and they flocked to the towns, but they had no opportunity to get any opportunities, and they had to buy firewood in the towns, and they had to use money everywhere, so many of them ended up in the slums.

The main reason for solving this problem is the expansion of the total amount of resources.

In the process of developing new resources. A large number of jobs were created, which digested the peasants who had left the land. These displaced people began to migrate everywhere under the immigration policy. There are a lot of jobs in those immigrant areas.

Of course, not everyone is willing to emigrate, and many people are unable to leave their homeland, but the desperate people have only one choice.

With the continuous development of capitalism, the gap between the rich and the poor is constantly widening. Coupled with the chaotic tax system of the previous Ming Dynasty and the frequent occurrence of natural disasters, many farmers were crushed, resulting in a large number of displaced people.

At this time, the expansion of total resources and the intervention of the state to organize migration activities, these groups of displaced people, which threatened social stability, were finally continuously reduced.

Of course, many wealth stories, as well as good treatment, have also attracted many ordinary people to immigrate with their families. It's not just ordinary people who get the chances, but those who read have a lot of opportunities.

Nowadays, in the New Deal area, the scale of official education in the imperial court continues to expand, and there is a great demand for teachers.

In the society of the Ming Dynasty, the illiteracy rate was obviously not as terrible as it was during the Manchu Dynasty. Generally, as long as the family has some conditions, they are willing to send their children to the primary school for enlightenment. If you don't have talent, move on to something else. If you have talent, then continue to read and try to gain fame. If there is no hope of gaining fame, then change careers to become Chinese medicine, word sellers, fortune tellers, and teachers.

A large number of scholars were recruited into the teachers' colleges, and many scholars were recruited into the government as civil servants. As long as these civil servants are capable, they can join the Han Emperor Party and then get the opportunity to be promoted.

The implementation of the new policy has caused the demand for officials to continue to rise. The New Deal has changed the mode of extensive management in the past to a more refined management. Of course, this kind of fine management is not the model of managing everything in Europe and the United States in later generations, but more like the model of China in later generations, that is, more in-depth management, but not so finely managed.

But even so, it is much more elaborate than the administrative model of the Ming Dynasty in the past, and even the townships and towns have set up administrative units, how many official positions has this increased?

A large number of grassroots public officials have been promoted, and many temporary workers have also been converted into regular workers. This made many scholars willing to go to the New Deal area to take the civil service examination, which became a channel for the Ming Dynasty to absorb a large number of talents.

The most fundamental reason why a regime will decay is that some people try to monopolize power and are unwilling to absorb outstanding talents from the people, thus setting up various thresholds.

Talents are divided into civil and military, and now after the new policy of the imperial court, outstanding literati have one more opportunity to enter the grassroots and work hard. After the establishment of the new army, the Ming Dynasty could absorb those outstanding military talents from the people.

It's like a sieve, where good people come in, so that they can share in the benefits of domination, and weed out the rotten groups, then the regime is vibrant.

The previous Ming Dynasty was rotten, and after Zhu Youxiao's efforts over the years, it finally began to rejuvenate.

And if those outstanding talents are not absorbed into the government, then they may become a force to attack the official rule, and if the official is corrupt, then the official rule is likely to be impacted and collapsed.

Under such a law, the civil servant promotion system that Zhu Youxiao has now determined has undoubtedly been welcomed by many scholars, especially those from poor families.

And what those Jiangnan scholars are most afraid of is also the new official system, which means that their monopoly on political rights has been greatly impacted, and the officials in the new policy system cannot do business, but which Jiangnan scholar does not do business?

In particular, the scholars who formed the chaebol were rich and powerful, and once such a system spread to the entire Ming Dynasty, the foundation on which they stood would disappear directly.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had become their class enemy, and in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao not only included Shandong in the province of thorough reform, but also began to carry out preliminary administrative reforms in Shanxi and Henan.

Shandong's reform trend cannot be stopped, and it has already entered the stage of comprehensive reform. However, the landlords and merchants in Shanxi and Henan were not so happy.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that as soon as the administrative reform is completed, Shanxi and Henan will also be thoroughly reformed. Such a reform was a little too harsh, the nobles were no longer exempt from tax, the merchants were no longer exempt from taxation, and too much land was subject to heavy taxation.

Those landlords and businessmen who were unwilling to reform were connected everywhere.

Luoyang Fuwang Mansion, since the beginning of the year, a group of people began to come and go frequently, and some decadent Fuwang has been very excited recently.

A coup d'état is brewing on behalf of the interests of the Shi clan, and the people who unite these forces to rebel are from Jiangnan.

King Fu's name is Zhu Changxun, also known as King Fuzhong, commonly known as King Fu, the third son of Mingshenzong, and his mother Zheng Guifei. The father of Zhu Yousong, Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Born on the fifth day of the first month of the 14th year of Wanli (1586 AD), his mother Zheng Guifei was favored and wanted to make him the prince, which caused a fight for the country. In the twenty-ninth year of Wanli (1601), he was named the blessed king. In the forty-second year, Luoyang was vassalized, and 20,000 hectares of farmland were obtained, and thousands of salt were introduced.

Who is the most unwilling to be ordinary among those vassal kings? That's naturally the blessed king.

At the beginning, with the love of Emperor Wanli, he may have been made the crown prince for a while, but unfortunately he was only one step away, and the throne passed by him.

The Jiangnan Shi clan actually contacted King Fu a few years ago, but they were not so concerned about King Fu at that time. But with Zhu Youzhen being sent to New Zealand by Zhu Youxiao in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and going to sea in June, these Jiangnan scholars suddenly became interested in King Fu.

And Zhu Youxiao, who was far away in the capital, noticed the abnormality of the Fuwang Mansion in Luoyang. Since Zhu Youxiao rectified the factory guards, the secret agents of the factory guards have spread all over the country, and these vassal kings are also the targets that Zhu Youxiao focuses on the factory guards.

Suddenly, a group of people frequently entered and exited the Fuwang Mansion, and it was the year when the Emperor of the Apocalypse hiccups in history suddenly made Zhu Youxiao vigilant.

Does King Fu still dare to rebel?

It stands to reason that there is no chance of victory in a rebellion by force, if King Fu wants to rebel, then he has no brains?

Zhu Youxiao didn't know if he was suspicious, but King Fu's actions were very suspicious. (To be continued.) )
