Chapter 257: Perdition
Correspondingly, the price of cloth will fall significantly!
In this way, ordinary people can also afford cotton cloth, and it will not be long before the people of the world will be able to live a life where everyone has clothes to wear!
The hearts of the two were extremely excited.
No wonder there are rumors throughout the imperial court that this is a revolutionary research achievement!
And so it was!
Their mood could not be calmed down for a long time.
However, Zhao Lin, who was on the throne of the dragon chair, only nodded slightly, and then spit out two words, "Not bad!"
This made the originally bright smile on Liu Ji's face slightly solidified.
He thought that His Majesty would definitely be very pleasantly surprised and praised.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty's reaction was so calm.
Just got a "good" review.
However, Liu Ji was quickly relieved.
The idea of this steam model was put forward by His Majesty, and for His Majesty, he didn't want His Majesty's idea to come true, what kind of feat was it?
Moreover, there is nothing in the world that can shock Your Majesty, but I am afraid that there has never been one, right?
"Your Majesty,"
Liu Ji calmed down, his expression was still extremely respectful, "Although this steam model has been successfully developed, it has not yet been named, and Weichen has the courage to beg His Majesty to give it a name!"
"Let's call it a steam engine!"
Zhao Lin didn't think much about it, so he gave a name.
"Steam engine!"
Not only Liu Ji's heart was in shock.
Zhuge Liang and Yang Meng were also shocked in their hearts.
They knew that this steam engine would be written into the history books in the future and become a great invention that has been praised through the ages.
"Liu Ji, you have made meritorious contributions to the study of the steam engine, I said in the Academy of Sciences that whoever can take the lead in researching this thing in the Academy of Sciences will be promoted to the squire of the Academy of Sciences, and will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"
At this time, Zhao Lin's eyes looked directly at His Royal Highness Liu Ji, and immediately said loudly: "I will now reward you with a thousand taels of gold, and make you the right attendant of the Academy of Sciences, and continue to preside over the in-depth study of the steam engine!"
When Liu Ji heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and the whole person knelt on the ground excitedly, "Minister, thank Your Majesty!"
But although Liu Ji was praised by Zhao Lin, he was not too excited.
Hearing that Zhao Lin asked him to continue the research of the steam engine, he couldn't help but be stunned, hasn't this steam engine been developed, and what does this in-depth research mean?
"Liu Ji, aren't you applying this steam engine to a textile machine now?"
Seeing the puzzled expression on Liu Ji's face, a glimmer of light flashed in Zhao Lin's eyes, and he immediately spoke: "Just imagine, if you use it on carriages and boats, will it be a different situation?"
"Will it completely change the way we walk?"
As soon as Zhao Lin's words came out, Liu Ji's eyes immediately lit up.
There was a feeling of a sudden opening.
Oh, yes!
Since this steam engine can be used in textile machines, it can also be used in things like horse-drawn carriages and boats.
The carriage will no longer be a horse-drawn carriage, but a steam-powered locomotive!
Boats will no longer rely on water or wind, but will be replaced by steam-powered ships!
Zhuge Liang and Yang Meng were also shocked by Zhao Lin's idea at this moment.
Will the steam engine not only revolutionize the textile machine, but also the means of transportation such as horse-drawn carriages and boats?
If you can really see, then the use of the steam engine is too wide!
There will be a large-scale upheaval of the entire era!
"I will draw you two drawings later, and I will give you a reference, and you can develop a steam locomotive and a steam ship according to the general design on the drawings. ”
Zhao Lin's gaze was still on Liu Ji's body, "If there are not enough people, you can apply to Song Shangshu to recruit more people, and you must develop these two things as soon as possible." ”
If steam locomotives and steamships were developed, it would greatly shorten the distance between the entire world of the world.
There is no doubt that it is more conducive to Zhao Lin to explore and discover and conquer this world!
When Liu Ji heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and hurriedly said: "The minister must be full of liver and brains, and live up to the grace of the saint!"
He could feel a heavy burden on his shoulders.
If you want to complete the task, I am afraid it will be very difficult.
However, he believes that with His Majesty's guidance, he will be able to overcome all difficulties!
Build this steam locomotive and steam ship!
"Prime Minister Zhuge . ”
After giving Liu Ji the task, Zhao Lin's eyes moved to Zhuge Liang's body, "You should pay more attention to the mass production of this steam weaving machine." ”
"What I mean is that at the same time, the imperial court will pay for the establishment of a government-run textile factory, and the profits of the entire industry will be brought into the hands of the imperial court. ”
Hearing Zhao Lin's words, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be taken aback.
Your Majesty, this is to take advantage of the merchants!
The entire textile industry in the world is monopolized in the hands of the imperial court!
After all, if this steam loom is used on a large scale, the handicraft workshops run by those merchants will not have any competitiveness at all, and they will definitely go out of business in large numbers.
In this way, wouldn't the entire industry be in the hands of the imperial court.
The annual income of the imperial court will definitely increase greatly!
"Minister... Yes!"
Zhuge Liang arched his hand towards Zhao Lin, but he couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time.
I'm afraid that in the near future, he will see the day when the income of the Great Song Dynasty skyrockets!
......
Persian Empire.
Tessie locks down the city.
Escorted by this Dian Wei and a hundred thousand Persian troops, the Persian queen encountered no decent resistance along the way, and successfully reached the city of Ctesidhorn.
The old prime minister of Persia, apparently still loyal to the Persian queen, opened the gates of the city when the Persian queen arrived outside the city to welcome her into the city.
The city of Ctessi, which was originally in turmoil, quickly calmed down after the Persian queen entered the city.
At this time, in the palace of Napersia.
The queen of Persia sat on the throne and looked down at the civil and military officials in this great hall.
She knew very well that these civil and military officials were obedient and obedient to her on the surface, but in fact they were certainly not so.
In the Persian Empire, there were many rebel forces.
In this court, there must be many officials who secretly communicate with the local rebels, and oppose her, the queen.
It's just that the Persian queen doesn't pay attention to these officials with evil intentions.
She was most worried about Persian Mingjiao.
When she returned to the city of Cessie this time, I am afraid that she has already known about the Persian Ming Sect.
The people of Mingjiao will definitely not let her go easily.
She was worried that Dian Wei's Tiger Ben Guards would be able to stop the masters of the Ming Sect.
Especially the Holy King of the Ming Sect, that is a six-rank great master, if this Holy King of the Ming Sect makes a move, I am afraid that no one will be able to stop it.
However, just when the Queen of Persia was worried, among the courtiers, the old prime minister came out and saluted the Queen of Persia on the throne, "Your Majesty, a few days ago, a great event happened. ”
"The Ming Sect, which was so powerful that it shook the entire Persian Empire, was destroyed overnight, and its main altar was reduced to ruins. ”
"According to the surviving sect members, the culprits of the destruction of the Ming Sect are the two masters of Middle-earth......"
The old prime minister's expression was full of solemnity.
"What do you say, the Persian Ming Sect has been destroyed?!"
The Persian queen's pretty face was full of astonishment, and then she became shocked.
Persian Mingjiao, deeply rooted in the Persian Empire, has huge power, and is a great sect of ancient religion that has been inherited for thousands of years, with countless masters.
The Holy King of Persia, that is a six-rank great master, and his strength is heavenly.
How could it be destroyed so easily?
Even the main altar was breached and reduced to ashes.
Even if it's not completely destroyed, it's pretty much the same.
