In Yinzuo's heart, there is always a sense of mission, or a sense of urgency, not for anything else, just because he knows very well that in the general trend of the times, as long as you can't keep up with one step, you can't keep up step by step, which has been proven by history. Yinzuo doesn't know much about the history of his previous life, but he knows one thing, that is, among the countries in the world in the current era, there are actually only two countries capable of completing the industrial revolution - the Qing Dynasty and the United Kingdom.

Yinzuo doesn't know when Britain started the Industrial Revolution, and it doesn't know if Britain started the Industrial Revolution in the current era, but Yinzuo knows what the three major signs of the Industrial Revolution are - steam engine, shuttle, spinning machine, these three things are the weapons to promote the Industrial Revolution, the Industrial Revolution first began in the textile industry, and then swept all industries, replacing handicraft production with intensive large-scale machine production.

The steam engine, the shuttle, and the spinning machine have long been made in the many secret laboratories under the name of Yinzuo, and the steam engine has long been put into practice, and it is common in many mines, shipyards, and gun bureaus under the name of the Eight Banners firm, but Yinzuo did not promote the steam engine to the people, and even handed over the shuttle and spinning machine to the Ministry of Industry, even in the Jiangning Weaving Mansion under the royal name, these two things were not used.

Advanced may not be the most suitable, the industrial revolution is a must, this is also one of the missions that Yinzuo must complete, but the anxious always can't eat hot tofu, there is no foundation to build a high-rise building, it is simply a fantasy. The Qing Dynasty of the present era has the foundation of the industrial revolution, but there is no urgent need for the industrial revolution, in other words, once the industrial revolution is officially launched, the number of various commodities will immediately have a rapid growth, so where is the market? Digested by the domestic market? Totally impossible! China is still a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, unable to fully absorb the fruits of the Industrial Revolution. The Qing Dynasty needed overseas markets, and to put it bluntly, it needed colonies to dump industrial products.

The accumulation of capital is bloody, Marx is not wrong at all, at least Yinzuo thinks it is right, but the problem is that Yinzuo can't afford the price of blood, he doesn't want to break out like the bourgeois revolution in France in history, so as to send himself or his children and grandchildren to the guillotine, and moreover. Yinzuo also did not want the industrial revolution to cause long-term turmoil in the country. If you want to eat crabs, you have to be careful to be caught by the crab's big pincers, there is a paradox here, how to solve it, Yinzuo has to be careful and careful, and in this matter, no one in this era can help Yinzuo, everything must be decided by Yinzuo himself.

The foundation of the industrial revolution is nothing more than the four elements of capital, market, labor, and technology. After all, the Qing Dynasty is still the world's largest economic power, and in terms of capital, it far exceeds any country in this era. Workforce? That's a big problem, yes. The Qing Dynasty had a vast territory and a large population, but the problem was that the vast majority of the population was constrained by the land, and most of the entire land of China were peasants who could not do without the land. It is by no means easy to liberate these peasants, and this is the fundamental reason why Yinzuo wants to allow Yin Zuo to come forward to implement the apportionment into the mu and the integration of the gentry to pay the grain, of course, the policy of apportioning the land into the mu is different from the original strategy, Yinzuo does not restrict the annexation of the mu, but does not encourage, at least before the start of the industrial revolution, it will not deliberately limit the merger of the mu, Yinzuo is to gradually liberate the population. Laying the foundations of labor for the Industrial Revolution.

Market? This is the old problem, without a vast market, how to keep the industrial revolution going? It is not possible to do this with today's overseas trade model alone, and after more than ten years of predatory trade, the local economies of Western European countries have been destroyed, and it is obviously impossible to continue like this, therefore. The Qing Dynasty needs. And there is an urgent need to have its own living space, the need for colonies. And this must rely on the army to use iron and blood to create a new world for the Qing Dynasty.

To be honest, with the existing naval strength of the Qing Dynasty, once a full-scale war with Britain and the Netherlands, although it will lose at the beginning, but the final winner must be the Qing Dynasty, the reason is very simple - the British and Dutch navies are strong, but due to the influence of logistics supply, the two countries can really mobilize to the Asian fleet will definitely not be too much, but the war is purposeful, not for fun, Before the domestic affairs are settled, Yinzuo does not want to start a war on this.

Time, what Yinzuo needs is time, at least two years, this time is not Yinzuo's imagination, but Yinzuo's estimation of time according to actual needs - the innovation of the financial system for the upcoming industrial revolution to solve the problem of credit funds, of course, the time required to establish a perfect financial mechanism is far more than two years, but Yinzuo wants is just a prototype, all imperfect things can be gradually improved in the future, and the establishment of this prototype is about more than a year is enough, After all, the whole set of currency value innovation plans has been carried out for nearly ten years, and the conditions in all aspects are generally in place, right? The same is true of the emancipation of labor: the policy of apportioning the land into the mu and the gentry paying grain in one body has been tried as early as the Kangxi period, and it is still being implemented in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, and there is no shortage of experience and lessons, coupled with the full support of Yinzuo and the reliable guarantee of the army, two years of time is almost enough.

Once the capital and labor force are available, Yinzuo will throw out the technology in his hands, even if the industrial revolution can be officially launched, and the industrial revolution will bear fruit, it will inevitably face the problem of market and sales, at that time, even if Yinzuo does not want to fight, I am afraid that the voice of the main war of the people will also resound in the sky, and this battle will naturally get a domestic support, and it is difficult to win!

The idea is beautiful, but whether it can really be realized is still between the two, at least Yinzuo is not completely sure in his heart, not that he is worried that Yun Zhen will take the opportunity to rise, to be honest, Yinzuo, who is now in military power, is not worried about what kind of demon moth Yun Zhen will make, if it is not for Yinzuo himself to be busy with military reform, and his two sons are still young. Yinzuo won't let Yun Zhen be busy at all. The situation has long been stable, no matter how dissatisfied Yun Zhen is, he can only obediently follow Yinzuo's baton and be disobedient? The board waits, and it is not a big deal for him to go to Shengjing to be a companion with Lao Ba. What Yinzuo is really worried about is actually the attitude of Britain and the Netherlands - due to the limitation of the intelligence capabilities of the "Honghu", the European part has not been expanded, so Yinzuo does not know how far Europe has developed in the current era, nor is it very clear how strong the naval power of these two countries is. Whether or not the envoys of these two countries can be fooled has become Yinzuo's most concerned thing at present. No, after sending Yun Zhen to sort out the regulations of government affairs, and spending a few days busy with the military affairs arrangements during this time, Yinzuo was finally able to free up his hands to discuss the arrangements for foreign affairs with Prince Cheng Yunzhi and the second elder brother.

"The minister (son) knocks on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Prince Cheng Yunzhi and the second elder brother Hongyang, who were led by the eunuch Gao Nianying, immediately fell to their knees as soon as they walked into the upper study. See Yinzuo for the big gift.

"Excuse me, get up, I summoned the third brother here today for the sake of foreign affairs, and now it's all done at that point?" Yinzuo raised his hand lightly. Signal to benefit and promote peace.

"Qi Sheng, Xu Chao, the governor of Liangguang, has moved to the Ministry of Culture and Rites, and has compiled the list of British and Dutch envoys and the relevant routes into Beijing. Yun Zhi took out a yellow silk masked piece from his big sleeve. With his head bowed, he respectfully raised it above his head.

"Hmm. Yinzuo nodded, motioned to Gao Nianying to hand over the fold, looked at it carefully, and suddenly laughed and said, "Van Furst; Green? Hehe, it turned out to be him, this person I have seen, hmm. That was ten years ago, I can't imagine that the ambassador of England who went on this mission is still this person, hehe, interesting, hmm, the third brother seems to have seen this person back then? ”

"Back to the Holy Land, the minister seems to be a little impressed, but I don't remember it clearly. "Yunzhi didn't pay much attention to this English envoy back then. I've seen it once. But I didn't talk to anyone seriously at all, I just chatted casually about the weather and sent it out. Even the final signing of the trade treaty was the official Lang of the Ministry of Rites who was busy, and Yunzhi didn't bother to ask much at all, and when he heard Yinzuo mention this person, he didn't feel a little surprised.

"Well, this person has talked deeply, it's a bit level, it's not easy to bluff, this time the third brother is coming forward on behalf of my Daqing, everything has to be dealt with carefully, don't be careless. Yinzuo said with some unease.

"Yes, the Holy Confession must be kept in mind. Yunzhi replied respectfully.

Yinzuo nodded and said, "Well, that's good, if there is anything that can't be discussed, you might as well drag it out first, and then discuss it with me later, I have high hopes for Yuer." ”

"Huang Ama, the retainers have an idea that I don't know if to talk about it?" Hongyang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Oh?" Yinzuo glanced at Yang Yang with interest, smiled and said, "Yang'er, if you have anything to say, it's okay to say it, I'll listen." ”

"Huang Ama, Erchen thinks that Britain and the Netherlands are not necessarily the same heart, but they are greedy for the wealth of my Qing Dynasty, and they have to collude together in the face of the strength of my Qing Dynasty, and they think that there must be a loophole in this, and Erchen suggests that the British and Dutch missions will be placed separately, negotiated separately, and first find out their respective bottom lines, and then prescribe the right medicine, fight, pull and combine, divide and dissolve, and break each one, as long as the two countries cannot join forces, my Qing Dynasty is naturally not afraid of one of these two countries to dare to face my Qing Dynasty alone. The courtiers here are foolish, and they also ask the emperor to judge the holy court. "Carry forward a mouth and talk freely, what he thinks and says is exactly what Yinzuo summoned Yunzhi to explain today.

"Well, it's a viable idea, it's accurate. Although Yinzuo was strange in his heart, he saw some unspoken rules in diplomacy, but he didn't bring it to his face, sighed slightly, and nodded.

"Emperor Ama Shengming, the retainers still have something to show to Emperor Amma. Seeing that Yinzuo was on track, there was no excitement on his face, but he said again very calmly.

"Oh? What else is there to Yang'er, let's say it together. Yinzuo looked at Hongyang with a calm face.

Yang Yang bowed and replied: "Huang Ama, the ministers think that Britain and the Netherlands rely on nothing more than sea strength, and on land they are by no means the opponents of our Qing Dynasty, once the war starts, my Qing Dynasty is only worried about the severance of overseas trade and the damage to the Dongying garrison, but even if the British and Dutch can win, they may not be able to get any bargain from our Qing Dynasty, and a Dongying may not be the purpose of the war between Britain and the Netherlands, so the sons concluded that the British and Dutch must be bluffing. In fact, he may not have the courage to start an all-out war with my Qing Dynasty. ”

Well, this analysis makes some sense, but although he understands the entire Thunder Project, he doesn't know the real strength of Britain and the Netherlands, where did his conclusion come from? Yinzuo glanced at Hongyang suspiciously, and did not say anything, but said lightly: "What else?" Keep talking! ”

"Yes, Huang Ama. Carry forward paused for a moment and continued: "Erchen thinks that even if the negotiations break down, Britain and the Netherlands will never dare to land on my Qing Dynasty, at most there will be some trouble in Dongying, Erchen thinks that even if the negotiations go well, it is estimated that there will still be chaos in Dongying, and these two countries will never let go of Dongying because they have reached an agreement with my Qing Dynasty, and Erchen is willing to ask Huang Ama to prepare early." ”

Armed Japanese elves? Well, there is this possibility, there has never been any faith between countries, but the people of the country have always regarded themselves as lenient and benevolent, emphasizing faithfulness and righteousness, how can this child understand this? Yinzuo looked at Yang Yang for a while in confusion, and said with a chuckle: "I know, what to do, third brother, Yang'er, you just let it go, I am in charge of everything." ”
