"As an important minister who governs the country, I feel that you should take a long-term view, and more importantly, look at the whole world."

The bodies of the eight humerus ministers involuntarily sat a little more upright.

"This world refers to the sun's brilliance that can shine on every inch of land, not only limited to the Ming Dynasty, but also in the long term."

Zhu Houwei's brows tightened slightly, as if he thought of the three hundred years of enslavement of the Han people in later generations, or the hundred years of humiliation that could not be looked back.

"Our ancestors went from drinking blood to slash-and-burn farming, and the way of war crossed from the era of cold weapons to the current era of firearms, of course, it has not completely crossed now, but the border army of the Ming Dynasty in the battle of Dushikou has made the nomads see the strength of firearms.

When I was a child, I liked to read some miscellaneous books, and I also pondered about firearms, thinking about why the development of muskets was still extremely slow since the birth of the musket at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty to today, hundreds of years later.

Why can't the powerful general cannon become the decisive weapon that dominates the victory or defeat of a war, and why the drawbacks of the firearm such as range, accuracy, accuracy, and easy to explode have never been overcome.

As a result, I have been fond of tinkering since I was a child, and I have set an ambition to change the status quo of firearms, so in the eyes of the Manchu officials, I have become a waste prince who does not learn and does not know how to do it, and only likes to be wrapped up in sweaty blacksmiths all day long......

I don't mind, and I don't need to mind, for more than ten years, I handed over my ideas to the blacksmith to do, overcame one difficulty after another, and finally succeeded in most of them, so there was a great victory that shocked the world in Dushikou. ”

"Your Majesty's long-term vision is far beyond the reach of the ministers, and the ministers admire it." Yang Yiqing admired, today's words finally unveiled a puzzle, why Jinshang liked to be with ironworkers in the prince's era, and why the emperor liked craftsmen, the original root is here.

Zhu Houwei pressed his hand to let Yang Yiqing sit down, and continued: "I am not afraid of being misunderstood, because I know that Confucianism can govern the country, but science and technology can rejuvenate the country.

You look down on craftsmen, but you don't think that your food and clothing are from farmers, craftsmen, your rich and extravagant days, benefit from businessmen, but in your eyes the fighting men, thieves and soldiers are in order to defend the Ming Dynasty and forget to die, in order to protect the people behind the border wall, throw their heads and spill blood, in order to let you put your talents on governing the country and benefiting Sangzi, they are rushing in the desert, holding the knives and guns in their hands and playing with the enemy!

In my eyes, these people are the most admirable, the most lovely people, they come from the people, they are the sons of the people, they are the soldiers, and what are the officials?

The people call the officials parents, and you should treat your children like parents, not harshly or even abuse!

You wait for you, the people are fat and the people are anointed, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive!

I don't say this to make you feel ashamed, but to alert you.

The Ming Dynasty is a Confucian governance country, but what about outside the Ming Dynasty? They also have classes and nobles, but according to the information I have found, in distant foreign countries, there are also countries as powerful as the Ming Dynasty!

In the eyes of the readers, the Ming Dynasty is a state of etiquette and the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, so it is arrogant and arrogant, and the normal diplomacy is called tribute by you, and it is considered that it is a small state and a small country that declares its submission to the Ming Dynasty, so it is not worth mentioning.

But I know that in the far west there is England and France, they are trying to be strong, they are constantly innovating, and the idea of the Industrial Revolution has begun to sprout.

What is the Industrial Revolution? To put it simply, the Ming Dynasty is an agrarian society, the people have been digging food from the soil for generations, and they have relied on manual labor to weave, make clothes, and make all the items, which is the agricultural civilization.

Industry is a production and technological revolution that replaces manpower with machines and replaces manual production in individual factories with large-scale factory production!

The cabinet has been to Tongzhou, know where to do something, and have also seen textile machinery and iron and steelmaking, this is actually industry, Tongzhou is also the cradle of today's Ming industry!

The name of Tongzhou Industrial Park also comes from this, that one textile machine is comparable to dozens of textile women, where the steel produced is equivalent to all the iron-making workshops in the Ming Dynasty, this is the industry.

Industry is also called assembly line operation, what is assembly line?

It's just that things are produced as fast as running water, such as firearms, the barrel of the gun is made of the barrel, the stock of the gun is made, and finally assembled together, it is a gun!

I am telling you this now, and you may not have a clear idea, but you will soon feel the power of the Industrial Revolution!

Can you imagine a steel ship that moves as fast as the wind on the sea, and walks on the ground in the midst of monstrous waves?

Such an invincible warship only needs ten, each loaded with hundreds of guns, then the Ming is the invincible overlord on the ocean, with such a sailor, the Ming army can set foot in any corner of the world, so that all the foreign countries who dare to stand in the way of the Ming expedition can only kneel down and sing conquest!

Have you ever seen an iron cart running all over the ground? An iron factory can load thousands of people, can load millions of catties of goods, and can take these to gallop quickly on the land, traveling thousands of miles a day!

If the Ming Dynasty had an iron chariot, would you still think that it was pointless to build a city on the grassland? Do you still think that it is unrealistic to use a city as a trade hub?

Do you still need to worry about sending 100 catties of grain to the grassland, and only 10 catties are left in the end?

Have you ever seen a man who can go to heaven through something?

Have you ever thought about what that means, if so......

And these rely on industry!

If I want the dynasty to get rid of the cycle of fate, I rely on industry, and I want to completely liberate the people of the Ming Dynasty from the land, so that they do not need to continue to rely on the land to survive. ”

The eight old men, the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, were stunned by the emperor who was only in his early twenties at the moment, and felt that he was completely listening to the book of heaven.

And this book of heaven has been exaggerated to the point of unbelievable, at this moment the eight people have only one thought, that is, the emperor is addicted to bragging and bragging, and now people are not in the sky, but the cattle are flying all over the sky......

"Your Majesty's words are too absurd." Xie Qian coughed lightly, as a veteran of the Four Dynasties, he felt the need to remind the emperor, you must know that the Hanlin Living Note is recording.

"Absurd?" Zhu Houwei laughed out loud!
