Others only saw that the little train was interesting, but Kangxi fell into deep thought.

After a while, Kangxi looked at Shen Bingzhu, "Old Seven, does the locomotive in front of you also use the same thing as the steam engine on the sea ship?" ”

Shen Bingzhu was surprised, but he didn't expect Kangxi to see it at once, admired it in his heart, and nodded, "Yes!" There are different ways to get around on different modes of transportation!

Don't look at the long carriage of the small train, but it can run under the strong drive of the front of the locomotive. If it is used in transportation, the initial investment is very large, but it can play a very huge role in land transportation! It can run non-stop, and it can also pull a lot of people, a lot of goods. ”

Kangxi nodded, "Listening to you say that, it seems to be very good!" ”

Shen Bingzhu replied confidently: "Of course it's good, now that the highway is available, I will start to build the railway!" The report is being written, and it will be submitted in two days! Huang Ama, let's build a railway to Shengjing, to the grassland, and even to the south. ”

Kangxi looked at the railroad tracks on the ground, "This requires a lot of iron, right?" ”

Shen Bingzhu nodded, "That's true!" However, I have already found ways to improve the level of smelting, and found more iron ore and other metal veins to meet the needs. ”

Kangxi was particularly looking forward to it, "Some time ago, I went to Tongzhou and saw the sea boats, which were indeed very spectacular, and they were also very strong, and the cannons on them were very powerful!" With such a navy, we can run rampant on the sea! ”

Shen Bingzhu chuckled, "All ships are strong and artillery, and they are based on the development of natural science. Amma, this is a report on the construction of the railway, and I will attach a report from the Polytechnic Institute later.

I would like to build a seowon that is different from the Kokuzijian, where students will study various aspects of science, such as the natural sciences and chemistry. My son found that only reading the Four Books and the Five Classics did not play a big role in coping with the rapid development of science and technology, so we need to classify and assess. ”

Kangxi was stunned, "This may shake the country!" ”

Shen Bingzhu said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the system of selecting talents in the imperial court has been continuously improved, from the previous recommendation system, the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, and later the imperial examination system, which has been extended to the present, which is used to select officials.

But now, the development of science can also bring a very huge effect to society. If we don't pay attention, we will fall behind later. Other countries pay attention to it, and they carry out the industrial revolution, and they will far surpass us in science and technology.

Their ships are faster than ours, and when their muzzles are larger than ours, in such a war, they do not have an advantage in weapons, and can they resist those cannons with those four books and five classics alone? ”

Kangxi knew better than anyone the impact of artillery and muskets on warfare.

Hearing this at this time, Kangxi quickly fell into deep thought.

He was not a stubborn and pedantic emperor, on the contrary, he was a very good emperor who was very good at seeking truth from facts and making specific analyses and adapting measures to local conditions.

Now that you've found a problem, start solving it.

Kangxi nodded, "You have a point!" This is the imperial examination, and the content of the examination can never be solved in one sentence, it needs to be gradual!

The Gewuzhi Institute of Technology you are talking about can be set up and funded by the imperial court. As for the follow-up assessment, I will study it with other courtiers. ”

"Yes, Huang Ama!" Shen Bingzhu should go down, some things are top-down reforms, and some things are bottom-up reforms.

No matter what kind of reform it is, as long as it can conform to the development of the times and the law of historical development, it will continue to develop even if it will experience setbacks.

After Shen Bingzhu and Liu Yiyi came to this plane, they determined the direction of their efforts and fought for it.

Now that they have achieved initial results, they will promote the industrialization of the Qing Dynasty, guide the germination of capitalist development, and at the same time regulate its development, and then take a different path of industrial development from the West in combination with the actual situation of the Qing Dynasty.

The children were playing in the playground and were very happy.

From this day on, when it comes to the rest day, Prince Chun's Mansion becomes a royal kindergarten.

Because Shen Bingzhu does not participate in the struggle for power and profit in the court, the royal family and the children of the other prince's brother family will not attract criticism.

In the end, even the children of the prince's family came to play, and the children of the eldest brother's family were not willing to be left behind.

Shen Bingzhu set rules for these little children, he didn't care what happened outside, but in Prince Chun's Mansion, he had to abide by the rules of Prince Chun's Mansion.

Shen Bingzhu saw that the children of the prince's family were bullying others while playing here, and he still taught a lesson.

After the children saw Prince Chun's tough methods, they were honest and well-behaved.

Shen Bingzhu handed in the report on the construction of the railway and the construction of the Institute of Technology.

If others come up with these two reports, they will definitely be opposed by those officials in the court.

But since Prince Chun's Seventh Elder Brother has made so many achievements, they have special trust in this Seventh Elder Brother who is beyond ordinary people, so no one objected.

After all, the achievements that Seventh Elder Brother has made over the years are real.

For example, when you go out, you can feel the flat cement road under your feet, such as the high-yield rice, the high-yield rice seeds are also planted on the farms of these officials' homes, as well as the sturdy and huge sea boats, and the powerful cannons······

Each of these is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people.

Now that the railroad is being built, they also tacitly believe that this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and in fact it is also true.

As for the Polytechnic, let these courtiers look sideways.

They were reluctant to weaken the power in the hands of the literati, but at the same time, they also saw the increasing role of craftsmen.

For example, in the textile industry, there are also some industries that have greatly increased productivity because of technological reforms.

Therefore, they cannot deny the role of craftsmen.

They opposed it in the court, feeling that such an academy should not be established, even if such an academy was led by Prince Chun's seventh elder brother, they did not want the power in their hands to be lost.

"The imperial examination has been carried out for thousands of years, and rashly changing the content of the assessment will inevitably cause disgust or opposition from students." Master Li stood up, he was a literati of the Eight Classics, his ancestral home was Suzhou, and he adhered to the traditional content of the imperial examination, the Four Books and the Five Classics.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

······

The people in the court, except for the royal family, the other ministers are all people who have passed the examination, and they are the beneficiaries of the traditional imperial examination, so they resolutely support the traditional imperial examination.
