Chapter 709 What is the background of heavy industry
Ten days later, Li Longji and others were rushing along the boat to the entrance of Pengli Lake. On the way, they encountered several fleets of ships back to the Bohai Sea and saw hot air balloons flying elsewhere in the sky.
The matter is almost over. People in various places cannot always take a place to stay, especially in the Bohai Sea. This time, *** has participated. If the gunboats do not go back, it will easily make others think that the Tang Dynasty is not angry with them, and it will become worse in the future.
In addition to Gao Lishi, Empress Wang, Concubine Wu Hui, and Pan'er, as well as Wang Ju, who followed Li Longji, he was not an official in Hangzhou and was a fleeing worker who went home.
He had a very good relationship with Li Longji in the past. Now that the past is over, he naturally has to follow him. As for his official position, there is no hurry now. If you go back to the capital, you will make arrangements. Anyway, it will not be bad.
The main association of his fishing association in Hangzhou was also handed over to others. He also brought many fishing enthusiasts to follow along on other boats, saying that he would take them to Luzhou to see what the sea there is different from the sea in Jiangnan East and whether it was the same when fishing.
To put it bluntly, he just doesn't want to give up the power in his hand. Although he is just a fishing enthusiast, those who can enter the association now, except for those who are good at fishing skills, all the others are wealthy at home.
If you take these people into your hands, it will be convenient to communicate with the Tang Dynasty in the future. According to his grandson, it is necessary to develop the Fishing Association into a transnational organization.
Not only do we need to fish in the Tang Dynasty, but also to go outside to fish with protection where the troops attack in the future, and to take fish all over the world as a huge force to operate the fishing association.
Wang Ju was not stupid at all, and at that time he thought of what his grandson had.
If the army fights, it may not be difficult with the support of advanced weapons. The difficult thing is how to occupy the place and let the locals occupy it. It is absolutely not possible. To cultivate a pro-Tang power, what should we do if people don’t kiss each other in the future?
The best way is to move the people from the place where they were beaten to the Tang Dynasty, send the people from the Tang Dynasty and send them to the people. If all the money is paid by the Zhang and Wang families and the court, the expenses will be too great.
Following the fishing association, there are Tang Dynasty fish elsewhere, and there are no fish. If you transport it back and sell it, you can sell it for more money, which will attract members to find ways to get people over and take up space and get a way out of it.
At the same time, it can also promote the construction of roads and speed up the exchanges, so as to avoid the colonization time being too long. In the past, the Tang people who wanted to send troops to the public, and when information and transportation could not be sent to the public in a short time, they would have to change them back in a few years.
"The future is still too long, and I don't know if I can see that day." Wang Ju said sighingly as he thought about what happened in the future.
He was sitting with Li Longji on the top of the highest cabin on the boat and watching the scenery. When he said something, Li Longji heard it and asked, "Why is it long?"
"Your Majesty, I thought that the Tang Dynasty occupied more places in the future and the soldiers were easy to leave. However, the land occupied was difficult for the people to walk on the road and management was inconvenient. The local management of the Jiedushi would be at risk of not following orders. It would be difficult."
Wang Ju shook his head and continued to sigh.
Li Longji was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter and said, "You have been worried about it. This is not difficult. It is just a road construction. Just build the road. After you wait for you to take the train, you will understand that the train is very fast. In the future, the Tang Dynasty cannot continue to send out officials to punish them. That is not a punishment, but to let them enjoy their happiness."
Gao Lishi also smiled and said, "What Your Majesty said is that it has been sent to Luzhou. Now the imperial court has long stopped sending people to Luzhou. Once sent, the officials who were sent to Luzhou will go directly by boat. The whole family is very happy and waited for the railway to be built, and land will be fine. The original barren land has become a place to enjoy happiness."
"Yes, Luzhou is good. Xiaobao and the others have the ability. They have made it like this by themselves. There were also Hangzhou, which used to be many fishing villages and life was not easy. Since the water transportation and more ships, Hangzhou has become a prosperous place.
But I heard that the Tang Dynasty, the steel that built the railway, was brought up by generals, and also damaged many places. If the railway was not taken, the imperial court would not be able to provide it with other roads. If there was no other medical treatment, education would be fine. Now, the Tang Dynasty's money would not be enough."
Wang Ju first flattered and then talked about the difficulties of the court, especially the money given to give birth to a child and helping to raise him. He had never thought about it before and dared not think about it, but now the court has some money, but he was worried that it would not be enough.
Li Longji laughed again: "Haha, you have been in contact with Xiaobao for a short time. I don't know Xiaobao's ability. I am always with him and have some understanding in my heart. Who says that building a road requires money from the court? Just spend money from the people and you can issue national debts.
When the road is built, you will "buy" things from other places, and sell them back to the Tang Dynasty, and you will return the benefits of the government bonds. You can also allow merchants to invest in the road. After the road is repaired, they will take some of the benefits. If they are transported, the goods they ship will be profited to them.
In the future, the court will not dominate the transaction, so the road will be charged, and when the fees will be collected and when they will be over, the manpower will be cheaper, and some food and some money from the Tang Dynasty will be given. People from other places are very willing to come here to do hard work and tiring work.
Now I tell you that you probably can’t figure it out thoroughly. When you chat slowly on the way, when you return to Beijing, I will let you see something good and you should do it at that time. The officials of the court have invested in the shares, haha."
"What kind of treasure is it?" Wang Ju really didn't know how powerful the Ministry of Works could make. He just knew that the three most important departments of the Tang Dynasty were in the hands of Xiaobao and Juanjuan.
One is Sinong Temple, which is responsible for the research on new varieties of various plants in the Tang Dynasty, and is also responsible for issues related to agriculture and breeding.
The second is the Tang Dynasty Money House, which manages the Tang Dynasty's money, especially taxes, and then directly enters the money house. There is no need to transport copper coins to the capital like before, and the money consumed on the road accounts for a large part of it.
If the entire Tang Dynasty said that the money bank suddenly collapsed, many people would probably cry, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a lifeline.
The third place is the Ministry of Works, which gathers the best craftsmen in all aspects of the Tang Dynasty, and there are other techniques and theories waiting for the craftsmen to learn thoroughly.
It is not only providing civilian things, but also the technology used in the army. Whoever masters the Ministry of Works will take over the weapons supply and future updates.
Even in terms of message transmission, things were made by the Ministry of Works. It is said that during production, the proportion of damage is very large, but money is still invested in the production. The importance of news is self-evident, otherwise there would be no need for any beacon.
These three things have always been in the hands of Xiaobao and Juanjuan, and they can be said to be in power. To put it bluntly, now the two of them can change their surnames to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. After a war, they must be the ones who won the final victory.
What the emperor said should be from the Ministry of Works, because I only heard that the officials of the court invested money to establish a new ‘company’ in the Ministry of Works.
"Is the steam engine smaller? Can you walk on the road like a carriage?" Wang Ju thought for a while, and asked guessing without waiting for someone else to answer.
"You are indeed extraordinary. Although it is not too late, it is not far away. It is a replacement for the carriage walking on the road, but it is not a smaller steam engine. No matter how small the steam engine becomes, it still needs to burn things. Where can I go to replenish water and combustible things? The newly made things, Xiaobao and Juanjuan call it internal combustion engine.
It also requires water and boiling, but not much is needed. When I came out, a finished product had been made, but when it was really used, it would take some time. The things made are prone to breakage and the technology is not good.
We don’t have many techniques mentioned by Xiaobao and Juanjuan. We can even use a file to frustrate some of the things, and it doesn’t work at all."
When Li Longji talked about technology, he was full of worry. He was also worried that there was a country with excellent technology.
Wang Ju asked in wonder: "Find? Can you make good things with a file?"
"That's right." Gao Lishi said: "Don't underestimate this file. Now the apprentice wants to prostitute, but it is no longer the same as before. It is more systematic. When you graduate, give the apprentice an iron rod and a file.
The apprentice makes things according to various requirements. The more complicated the things you make, the higher the evaluation you get at graduation, the better the things you can do in the future, and the higher the salary you get. The easiest one is to make a small hammer with two things, not only the shape is correct, but it is not only smooth to use, but also the mosaic is smooth."
"Ah?" Wang Ju opened his mouth and said in surprise: "A iron rod and a file, at least one hammer like that? It's simple, it's difficult? How is it possible?"
"How is it impossible? I have watched them do it myself. Every other day, I will take it to me and show it to me until they finish it. From now on, the most important department of the Tang Dynasty is called Datang Heavy Industry. People working in it must have certain abilities. Unlike now, they will deal with people first.
Xiaobao and Juanjuan have very high requirements. They are usually two pressurized seals. When workers do not use pressure-applied equipment, they can blow them with their mouths to know the approximate degree of sealing, the error of the workpiece is two millimeters, and can be seen directly with their hands or eyes, etc.
Regardless of whether there are more advanced tools to measure, people who do things must do it based on their own experience and abilities, because this is the foundation of heavy industry. They have said that in some places, the same components and different people will have different accuracy, even if they are given the same measurement tools."
When Li Longji spoke, it seemed that people from the Ministry of Works of the Tang Dynasty could do it in an average way and seemed very proud.
Wang Ju was stunned when he heard this, thinking that what Xiaobao and Juanjuan said could be done by humans? As for some places the emperor said, it was naturally where the masters behind him came out. So that's it.
When Wang Ju was shocked, a fleet appeared on the lake from afar and gradually became bigger.
"Your Majesty, Xiaobao and the others are here." When Gao Lishi saw the fleet, he took the telescope from the hands of the people next to him and looked carefully, and said to Li Longji.
"Just come? I thought I came over and they were waiting for me, but I didn't expect that I would actually ask me to wait. I will meet later. Let's see how I deal with them, hum!"
Li Longji said with dissatisfaction.
After waiting for a little more than a quarter of an hour, the two fleets finally met, and the long rope was thrown over. Someone immediately laid a rolled wooden board in the middle, and used the rope to put on the narrow wooden boards, like a mat.
As soon as the wooden board was laid, a small figure came over from the opposite side. The little tui rushed directly into Li Longji's arms and said, "Uncle, I miss you all. Do you miss me? Do you? If I didn't think about it, I would be unhappy."
"Oh, be gentle, yes, yes, think about it, think about it during the day and at night, and also think about it when I eat, let me see if I have lost weight? No, it has become heavy again, how can I eat it?"
Li Longji hugged Xiao Bei, who had grown taller, and said happily.
"I'm still young and have been growing up. Of course I've been heavy. I'm not fat at all. I've been exercising and caught people in the water? We're so amazing. Brother Xiaohai is injured. Uncle the emperor wants to avenge us and deal with people, but we are not allowed to talk about brothers and sisters."
Bei Bei waved his fists and said that she was catching people in the water.
Li Longji had just said that when someone came to clean up, he hurriedly said, "If you don't clean up, your brothers and sisters have made great contributions, and you have made great contributions, so you have to reward them, and say, what do you want?"
"What do you want? I, I don't know what you want. I just thought that I was happy to see the emperor and I would discuss it with them. I will ask for it after I have agreed. We will not want it for nothing. When we arrive in Luzhou, we will go to the sea to get something for the emperor and let my brother do it. OK?"
Xiao Bei was thinking, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't figure out what reward he should get after making meritorious service. He had only thought about making meritorious service before.
"Where is me?" Wang Ju asked when he saw his granddaughter coming, he rushed to the emperor, his face sank.
"Ah? Grandfather is good, Grandfather, I'll tell you..." Xiao Bei left Li Longji again and threw himself into Wang Ju's arms. No one was offended.
While talking, the other children, including Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, also came over. The two Paner brothers and sisters who were originally staying in the cabin also ran over and shouted happily. They could remember people and knew that the one in front of them was their father, looking around and looking for their mother.
"Zhang Xiaobao, Master Zhang, you are so brave. You dare to let me wait for you. What crime should you blame?" Li Longji glared at Zhang Xiaobao.
"Oh, I ask Your Majesty to forgive me. I deserve to die. I should leave Xunyang's livelihood first and wait for Your Majesty. I will say to the people of Xunyang and say that I will not do what I promised them. I will discuss it when Your Majesty is relieved. What do you think?"
Zhang Xiaobao bowed to apologize.
"Stop scaring me with the people. I ask you, how should we end this matter?" Li Longji asked about the person he caught...
