"Can you read the newspaper with those words?" Wei Tieniu's lady said.

"Haven't you heard of what it means to be impressed every three days?" With that, Wei Tieniu walked towards the village with a high spirit.

Seeing Wei Tieniu's appearance, Wei Tieniu's lady wondered: "should be impressed every three days?" Phew, how did I read a little book, and I didn't have a serious word in my mouth. ”

……

With the vigorous publicity of newspapers, the government and merchants, the matter of Yizhou's new currency spread like a wildfire in Li Su's fiefdom, Li Su also asked the officials from time to time about the reaction of the people to the new currency, and the information he got made him very satisfied, the vast majority of people still have no resistance to the issuance of the new currency, and some different remarks are mostly from foreign merchants, and from this point Li Su also felt one thing, that is, he has won the hearts of the people in the fiefdom, so the people will support and trust him so much.

In addition to the new currency, Li Su then began to implement industrial reform, Taoyuan began to sell various industrial machinery to the private sector and provide technical guidance, and as soon as the news was launched, the merchants in the fiefdom exploded, and flocked to Tong Nian's Ministry of Commerce to ask for specific matters, and the Ministry of Commerce also took the opportunity to publish the price, type, function and other information content of hundreds of industrial machinery, and more industrial technology also followed.

"The steam loom is said to be more than a hundred times faster than the manual work, and my family has been in the cloth business for generations, so I have to take the lead in this anyway." A merchant lingered for a while in front of the notice from the Ministry of Commerce, and then said to the butler.

The housekeeper glanced at the still long notice, there were other machinery on it, so he said: "Master, do you want to take a look again, I saw a lot of businessmen just now seem to be interested in textile machines, if there are so many textile factories in Yizhou at once, the competition will be greater!" ”

"That makes sense. There doesn't seem to be much interest in this dyeing process just now, so I think it's better to buy this, because the fabric they produce must be dyed after all. "The businessman changed his mind.

Similar to this businessman, many businessmen are making different choices to judge whether the business can make money, but no matter what their business is, Li Su must have made a lot of money, because in just one day, the purchase contract signed by the Ministry of Commerce reached 5 million yuan, and with the spread of news. More and more businessmen are rushing to the Ministry of Commerce to negotiate matters.

At the same time, Li Su's fiefdom inevitably appeared in the merchant's enclosure to build factories, but fortunately, Li Su had foreseen in advance that there would be such a change, and had already turned the land into the state, in order to prevent the industry from disorderly behavior, Li Su specially set aside several industrial zones for these merchants to station, he did this also to facilitate management, and this industrial zone was naturally welcomed by the merchants, because Li Su promised that the government would provide them with transportation services. In this day and age, this is the real problem, so Li Su's promise undoubtedly reassured them, even if this kind of service requires a fee, but it is still much better than building a transport fleet on their own.

One after another, various measures have been introduced. The people suddenly felt that their heads were running out of steam, because the new things were coming one after another, and they barely had time to catch their breath, but the change was beneficial to them anyway. Therefore, Li Su's entire fiefdom soon blew a wave of learning about science and technology, all eager to understand the principles of these things, and at this time, Li Su's movie projector began to come in handy. Hundreds of film projection teams began to go to various parts of the fiefdom to publicize the content of industrial reform, and at the same time popularize some scientific knowledge to the common people, so that they can understand the most basic industrial knowledge.

"The people's ability to accept new things is still very strong!" In the palace, Li Su was holding a newspaper and reading the contents of it, according to the above statistics, three hundred factories were established in just a short period of time.

Li Ran said: "In the past three years, the people have become accustomed to the endless things in Yizhou, so it is so easy to accept these new things. ”

Li Su nodded and said: "That's right, there is also this matter of electricity and sewage treatment, now the lack of factories does not affect anything, and when there are factories everywhere in the future, this problem will be strict." ”

"No problem, after the businessmen have established the factory, our basic industrial system will be basically completed, and then the power plant will be a natural thing, after all, we have mastered all kinds of technologies, and we only need materials." Li Ran said, and then he said: "Also, Your Highness, the third-generation weapons have begun to be manufactured. ”

"Rifled guns and rifled guns?" Li Su put down the newspaper and said, he was not surprised by the replacement of the new weapon, because the research on rifling has been carried out for a long time, and now the industrial conditions in Yizhou have reached the standard for the production of these things, and with the guidance of Li Ran and others, it is strange that the weapon has not improved at all.

Li Ran said: "Not only rifling, but also gunpowder and shells have been improved accordingly with our participation. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. After all, weapons are an important tool for external development, and naturally the more advanced the better, and in this way, even if the high-end scientific and technological weapons are lost, they cannot be imitated.

Li Su said: "First of all, we eliminated the paper shell of the firearm, and used the new metal bullet made of copper-clad steel, the shape of the bullet has also been changed to a cone, and the shell is the same, and more importantly, the new shell will be a flowering bullet, because the fuse has been developed, so the power of the artillery will no longer be the same, and there is gunpowder, which has now replaced the granular gunpowder and become a new propellant, and in general, the three generations of weapons have basically reached the standards of the First World War." ”

"The standard of the First World War? Well, yes, that's enough, is there any other progress? Li Su then asked.

"In addition, the mechanized military factory in Taoyuan has been established, and the increase in production efficiency is not a little bit, even if His Highness wants to sell arms, it will be very easy." Li Ran added.

Li Su nodded, since the intelligent people settled in Taoyuan, Yizhou's science and technology has really grown explosively, and he was worried about whether he could see the popularization of electricity in his lifetime, but now this problem has become a natural problem, looking at Li Ran, Li Su said: "Now that the industrial reform is also underway, the weapons have also been replaced, and the matter of the Australian base should also be put on the agenda, with these weapons, the danger you face in Australia will also be minimized." ”

"I also think so, everything is difficult at the beginning, now that the industrial foundation of Yizhou has been laid, the following is the problem of continuous replacement, and this batch of machinery we have left room when designing, it can be easily modified into power equipment, so, it is also a very logical thing to transition to the era of electricity, and His Royal Highness does not have to worry about this batch of machinery being eliminated at that time."

Li Su bowed his head lightly, Li Ran is not a smart person, his thoughts are indeed more detailed and thoughtful than Li Su, thinking about the changes in the past six months, he once again thanked Yuan Shoucheng for leaving him such a huge wealth, without them, Li Su estimated that it would take decades to make Yizhou reach today's Cheng Dù, and some products that cannot be manufactured by Yizhou industry, as long as Li Su provides them with materials, they can also make them, such as Yizhou's money printing machine and special paper needed for banknotes, These are all produced under the guidance of these intelligent people, so Li Su is also looking forward to letting these intelligent people go to Australia to open up a scientific research base on their own.

"In that case, you go and prepare, there are a total of 24,000 intelligent people, you can take 20,000 intelligent people, and leave 4,000 people in Yizhou, what do you think?" Li Su pondered for a while and said, for Taoyuan, more than a thousand intelligent people are enough, and the other intelligent people Li Su are all arranged in schools and government offices to help educate and establish a sound political and economic system, he calculated, four thousand people are enough.
