As the biggest driving force supporting the development of the country, merchants have no matching political status and no say or influence in the court. This prosperity will not last long.

Once the overseas market is opened, these merchants who are not respected in China will lose a lot of money and power to open up their own territory and develop their own power to achieve their political goals.

If you have money, run out. If you can't keep people in the country, then a country will gradually lose its morale and the so-called prosperity is just a flash in the pan.

If the four major families receive rewards from the First Emperor in this way, they will attract more people to join in and start serving the court in various ways in order to gain an identity and status that matches their contributions.

Open up overseas territory and reward a noble title.

In Chen Xu's opinion, this kind of transaction does not need to be too refreshing.

Anyway, the court does not need to spend a penny, just give a license order. The overseas development bill and the colonial bill have been promulgated long ago, and some people are waiting for it to send money back.

When it comes to overseas development, transportation has been basically solved. Before the steam engine is successfully developed, large sailing ships are the only means of transportation, which is sufficient at present. However, if the problem of ultra-long-distance fast communication is not solved, overseas expansion and colonization will inevitably be in a semi-out of control.

Sitting alone in the study, drinking hot tea and baking the stove, Chen Xu first looked around the enterprise reform integration plan brought by the four old men, then picked up a pen and wrote a memorial. In the rest of the time, he picked up a pencil and started writing and drawing on the white paper, and began to recall the knowledge about electricity that he had learned in junior high school and high school.

There are two most common formulas for basic electrical engineering. One is Ohm's law formula i=u/r, the other is the power calculation formula p=ui, and then the series and parallel formula of various resistors. Chen Xu basically can't remember it.

Although these formulas are important, Chen Xu thinks that the most important thing at the moment is to get the electricity out first before discussing other contents.

And to generate electricity... Chen Xu began to pull his hair down one by one, lie on the desk and write a painting, and paint it. Because there was no eraser, he could only draw one and change it. A cup of hot tea slowly became cooler, and the sky gradually became darker, and time soon passed.

"Cruff" the wooden door was gently pushed open, and a pretty figure came in. Looking at the manuscript paper piled up on the desk and the floor, he was slightly stunned and quickly closed the door, squatted down and picked up the manuscript papers on the ground one by one, and looked at the things drawn and what was written on it, with confusion and surprise on his face.

"Gentle is here!" Chen Xu lay on the desk without even raising his head.

"Husband, why don't you light the candles so dark?" Shui Qingrou stood up after cleaning up the manuscript paper on the ground, lit the oil lamp on the desk with a match, and carefully covered the glass lampshade, and the room became bright in an instant.

Chen Xu then looked up at the window and said in surprise: "It's getting dark so soon!"

"Yes, it's been more than an hour since you entered the study. The maid told me that you have never been out. I came over to see what are the things you painted? Why do they look so complicated and strange? These symbols of heavenly books are also strange and strange before..."

Shui Qingrou helped collect and organize the messy manuscript papers on the desk one by one, and then stood beside her and asked curiously.

"I'm designing a generator, but I didn't read it very carefully in the Book of Heaven at the beginning, and I didn't remember many of them. I need to slowly recall and sort it out..." Chen Xu put down his pencil and hugged Shui Rou on his lap and said with a smile.

"What is a generator?" Shui Qingrou picked up the picture Chen Xu was still drawing. She looked horizontally and vertically and felt so complicated that she was dizzy and couldn't understand it at all. It seemed to be a mechanical one, but it was marked with nouns such as rotor, magnet, coil, etc.

"I've seen lightning, the most common natural phenomenon. After the Cuju field was repaired, it was hit by lightning, which caused the people of Xianyang to frighten. I designed a lightning rod to introduce the power of lightning into the ground to avoid the Cuju field being damaged. The power of thunder is very terrifying and uncontrollable, but electricity is a good thing. If it is used well, our lives will change drastically. I said before that I can instantly call if the phone and mobile phone are close to me, and it requires electricity. Now, Daqin is in contact with the Western world more and more. It takes half a year or even longer to communicate with each other. We need a more concise and convenient communication method. And with the phone, we can communicate with our parents far away in Qinghe Town and Xing'er Dashi and others at any time, and even talk to Yu Big Brother Xia in Yizhou, Yu Ji, no longer have to worry about and worry every day..."

"Husband, the sky thunder is so terrifying that it is beyond the reach of ordinary people. If you create it, will it be very dangerous?" Shui Qingru hugged Chen Xu nervously, and his soft body squeezed tightly together. Chen Xu could even feel her pounding heart.

"Haha, don't worry, even if the power of heavenly thunder is really a god, I can't get it out. The electricity emitted by the generator I designed is very weak, and the experimental nature can only make people feel a little numb. If you want to truly enter the practical stage, high-power generators naturally need to design stricter and safer protection measures. Don't worry, there will be no problem!" Chen Xu hugged his eldest wife and comforted him with a smile.

"My husband is the pillar of the Great Qin Dynasty and is also the sustenance of our family. Remember not to take risks with yourself. The nine-year disaster that senior Guiguzi mentioned is getting closer and closer, and Qingrou is becoming more and more worried. Qingrou wants nothing to do. She just hopes that her husband can live a safe and safe life with her husband, which is the greatest happiness!" Shui Qingrou held Chen Xu's cheeks with both hands and her eyes with a little redness.

"Don't worry, don't let Shiman and Wan'er know about the great disaster. From now on, I will stay in Xianyang. Apart from the court office, I will study the interesting things in the heavenly books. I hope that in my lifetime, I can make all the iron armored ships, iron winged birds, telephones and mobile phones, etc., and after electricity, the most convenient thing is lighting. Installing an electric light in the room is much brighter and more convenient than the candle..."

"Electricity is still used for lighting?" Shui Qingrou opened her mouth in surprise.

"That's it!" Chen Xu leaned over and kissed his wife, hugged his wife and picked up a pencil and brushed it a few times before drawing a sketch on the paper. "The electric light is simple in structure and can be lit up just by turning on electricity. There is no smoke. When my generator is successfully developed, it can be made as a hydroelectric generator like a water wheel mill, and then use wires to guide the electricity to the streets and alleys and thousands of households in Xianyang City. If you install an electric light, Xianyang will be brightly lit at night. If you can still make a TV, we can watch the theater's musicals at home..."

"My husband, don't say it anymore. Qingrou can't help but want to see what you said!" Shui Qingrou looked at Chen Xu with a blushing cheek and a gentle face.

"Haha, I want to see it too, so I have to work harder. When my generator drawings are designed, I will find someone to slowly make it. These things are separated from the current mechanical theory and do not have various equipment and instruments. They will definitely be extremely complicated to make!"

"Qingrou believes that your husband can do it. You are omnipotent in everyone's heart!" Shui Qing's eyebrows encouraged her.

"Yes, this is the price of omnipotence. If there is no such thing in the Heavenly Book, I wouldn't do it if I don't know. But now I know but don't do it. I always feel that it is a regret in life. Fortunately, we are still young and there is still a lot of time for me to slowly do it. Even if we can't do it, we must leave these theories and manuscripts for future generations to study. I believe that one day someone will succeed. Mr. Lie left the feat of Yugong moving mountains in Tangwen. I also believe that those who have ambition will succeed, and there will always be hope if their descendants stick to it!"

"Sons and grandchildren..." A faint sadness appeared on Shui Qingrou's beautiful cheeks. Although it quickly disappeared and returned to peace, Chen Xu felt a little painful in his heart for no reason and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"You and my husband have been doing so for so many years. You know what I am thinking about. Don't be sad because of this. Life is unsatisfactory. The way of heaven is not perfect, let alone ordinary people! It is said that the way of heaven rewards hard work. Maybe God thinks we are not working hard enough. It's dark now, can we go to the bedroom to continue working hard?"

"Husband, I have to favor the other sisters to be prosperous in our family. You can go to Wanniang's room today or let Sixiang accompany you to bed!" Shui Qingrou stood up reluctantly.

"Hey, I didn't see that you were such a big woman?" Chen Xu glared at her eyes with dissatisfaction.

"How can you be wronged by Qingrou? I don't know what Qingrou did wrong? Please tell me clearly." Shui Qingrou was as if she was greatly wronged and knelt on the ground with tears in tears.

"You know that I want to have seven daughters, but now there are only four. You ask me to spoil Wan'er and the others. Isn't it just that they want them to give birth to their daughters and you can have a son at that time?"

"Puff~" Shui Qingrou burst into tears and laughed on Chen Xu's legs and couldn't stand up. "Why do husband think so? In fact, Qingrou also wants a daughter, but she doesn't want to have a son to compete with the fifth princess and Wanniang for your title, because I'm afraid that Your Majesty doesn't want Qingrou to give birth to a eldest son!"

"Do you really want to have a daughter?" Chen Xu looked at Shui Qingrou with a smile on his face, and helped her gently wipe away the tears from her cheeks.

"Yes, Qingrou never wanted Wanniang and the others to have seven daughters,..."

"Hehe, that's fine. Let's try our best to have a daughter. This marquis likes her daughter the most!"

Before Shui Qingrou could finish her words, she was picked up by a marquis of Shuangjue and kicked open the door of the study. Under the stunned gaze of several maids, she went to the dormitory next to her.
Chapter completed!
