"My son's industrial development plan is huge, and it is inappropriate for the housekeeper to come forward."

The power of the Yan Wangfu is great.

But there are also many people staring.

"It is a business matter for the businessmen to promote it themselves, and they don't have to do anything in the government, and if they poke the basket, they won't be involved in the government."

The eldest son's answer, Zhu Di was noncommittal.

There are really people who have the strength to point the finger at Yan Wangfu, and they are afraid that they will not be able to find the reason.

And those who don't have the strength to influence Yanwangfu, Zhu Di doesn't care even more.

"Although the theory of the steam engine was discovered by the son, it was the craftsman who really built the steam engine, so the son proposed a patent, and each unit received a profit of 10,000 taels of silver."

"It's too much." Zhu Di interrupted Zhu Gaochi's words.

"Not much."

Zhu Gaochi shook his head and hurriedly explained: "The patent period is three years, and my son is not at a loss. ”

"Why are you three years?"

Hearing that there were restrictions, Zhu Di recognized it a little and no longer pursued the matter, but he was curious about the time set by his son.

Was it casual or intentional?

Zhu Di expects the latter.

"Three years is well thought out, which can not only meet the interests of Wansan, but also not affect the development of the steam engine."

Zhu Gaochi replied with confidence.

The Industrial Revolution, it doesn't belong to anyone.

It's like a river.

The United Kingdom may have been the first to discover it, but that doesn't mean the river can only belong to the United Kingdom.

Many countries have also started the industrial revolution.

Just like the birth of patent law, the United Kingdom is a relatively late Western country that introduced the patent system.

At first, it ranged from three to five years.

It was gradually extended to ten, fifteen, seventeen, and even twenty years.

The international patent law, which has been extended to 20 years, has been departed from its original purpose and has been reduced to a means to restrict other countries from catching up.

can't let Zhu Di control the topic, otherwise it will not be conducive to the result he wants.

It was a failed conversation.

Zhu Gaochi worked hard to carefully recall the success studies that later generations had seen.

Be sure to master the rhythm of the conversation and control your tone.

How do you control the pace of conversation from the strong?

Throw out the questions he cares about.

"With the role of the steam engine, the price of coal will become cheaper and cheaper, and it will definitely promote the development of all walks of life."

In a large study.

Zhu Gaochi spoke freely, and Zhu Di sat on the Taishi chair without saying a word.

Zhu Di was a little distracted.

The change in his eldest son made him a little relieved and a little dissatisfied.

"But there is a truth that will not change, everything has ups and downs, with the prosperity of the coal industry, replacing firewood as a fire in people's homes, then people who live on the firewood industry will have no way to make a living."

Zhu Gaochi solemnly told Zhu Di.

"Ordinary people in the city need to use 45 loads of firewood every year to heat their homes in winter, which is estimated to be about 6,000 catties, and consumes two big trees."

The very straightforward data moved Zhu Di at once.

The source of firewood has always been one of the most important things for the imperial court.

For this purpose, a mountain factory was set up.

And Zhu Gaochi still knows.

The next four years of Yongle.

Because the source of firewood needed in the capital is gradually decreasing, it can no longer meet the needs of the people.

Zhu Di in front of him personally sent the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and the officials of Zhengsanpin to find a place to set up a new mountain factory to solve the problem of firewood.

"There is no room for sloppiness in this matter." Although the eldest son did not say it explicitly, Zhu Di clearly knew that he had fed countless people by cutting down forests, transporting wood, and selling firewood.

If it is as the eldest son said.

In the future, the people in the city will stop burning firewood and use honeycomb coal, so many people will lose their livelihoods.

The first time he talked about business with his eldest son, Zhu Di always felt uncomfortable, and his words were unconsciously a little vague.

The attitude should be stricter, and I am afraid of dampening the enthusiasm of the eldest son. The attitude is mild, but I am afraid that I will not attract the attention of the eldest son.

No way.

Who let the person in front of him be his son, and he can only be tired when he is Lao Tzu.

When he was outside, Zhu Di would not be like this.

"My son has a solution." Zhu Gaochi has the ticket to victory, and his confidence is getting stronger and stronger.

The immeasurable knowledge in his mind is useless in later generations and is called so-called junk information.

But these junk information still had some effect in ancient times, even in front of Zhu Di.

It will only ask questions, and it can only be annoying.

But after raising a problem, it can be solved, and it immediately becomes a talent.

Zhu Di is the same, when he heard that his son had a solution, he took it seriously, and no longer regarded his eldest son as a child.

"Tell me about it."

When it comes to industrial development, who will be his opponent? Zhu Gaochi opened the conversation box and talked endlessly.

"As the output of the coal yard increases, more and more miners will be needed, and you can go to the mountain yard to recruit miners, which is one of them."

"Build an engineering team and recruit the rest of the people who don't have a livelihood, and do both."

"Engineers?"

Zhu Di's face was a little exciting.

Team?

What is a team?

The team is a military establishment.

The kid wants to meddle in military power?

Thinking of Zhu Neng's affairs during the day, Zhu Di couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his chin again.

In front of Zhu Di, other people wanted to build a so-called engineering team, but they only had the word "team", which immediately aroused his suspicion.

But there is also the eldest son Zhu Gaochi in front of him, which can make Zhu Di suppress the unhappiness in his heart.

The second son, Zhu Gaoxu, can't do it.

Although Zhu Di was a little worried in his heart, he did not interrupt the eldest son's words.

The eldest son is to support the family business.

"There is still room for the price of coal to fall, so we set up an engineering team to build railways in various coal yards, and build them directly from the mining area to Beiping City."

Another taboo.

"What is a railroad?"

Zhu Di looked puzzled.

Where did the eldest son learn all the things he had not heard.

But that's what people are.

The more others say something they don't understand, the more they eat this set, but they feel tall and funny.

Zhu Di can't get rid of this habit, and he is gratified that his son has become a talent.

The world's first railroad was born in England in the 19th century.

From the steam engine that could only pump water at the beginning, after a hundred years of technological development, people finally installed a mature steam engine on the train.

Equally.

Steam locomotives were first used in coal yards, connecting cities and ports to coal producing areas.

The early market demand for trains is to pull coal.

Now the Wansan steam engine is just the first generation of products, and it is a fantasy to want to install it on the train.

Although the steam engine used for pumping water and the steam engine on the locomotive are both called steam engines and have similar principles, they are actually two kinds of products, epoch-making products.

But.

A steam engine for pumping water will not work, but a horse can be used.

Horse-drawn trains.

It was supposed to be a product of transition, but it was just right for the moment.

"The railway is a specialized expressway, which can transport goods faster and in large quantities than the straights, and can transport people."

On the last word, Zhu Gaochi dragged out his voice.

Can Zhu Di understand?

Absolutely.

The eldest son meant that the railroad could march quickly.

"Can it be repaired to the grassland?"

Zhu Di was self-taught and asked the most critical question.

"Yes."

Not now, but certainly in the future.
