In the morning, Yuwen Wen was writing in the study, drawing pictures and writing. He couldn't sleep all night last night, and his eyes were dim like panda eyes. Fortunately, he didn't need morning court today, so his panda eyes were not seen by foreign ministers.

The steamship can be practical, which is a great thing. Yu Wenwen is of course excited because it means that the steam engine is practical. You must know that in history, there were first practical steam engines to be practical steam ships.

So, the first industrial revolution is about to begin...

Won't.

The one riding a white horse is not necessarily the Prince Charming, but also the Monk Tang. With the steam engine, this thing may eventually become a high-end toy.

Yuwen Wen was very clear about the technical level of his era. Now that he had a steam engine, it was like a primitive tribe who had a flintlock rifle. Except for the tribe leader who had a majestic "scepter", it was useless.

Without comprehensive technology and cultural progress, a mere steam engine cannot trigger the industrial revolution.

It is like a high-quality seed planted in a barren field. Because of insufficient nutrition, even if it can germinate, it is impossible to grow into a towering tree.

Yuwen Wen, who was extremely excited after receiving the news yesterday, quickly realized the problem, and then thought of a possible future, so he tossed and turned overnight and couldn't fall asleep.

That future is really terrible, and Yuwen Wen just thought about it and felt like he was on pins and needles:

Perhaps, when he "collapses", the bureaucrats will persuade the new king to not "lost their ambitions" and quickly put the magic tricks of steam engines and steamships on the shelf and do not harm their descendants.

Do these bureaucrats don’t know the benefits of steam engines and steam ships? Of course, they know that they have to “kill them all” because they know.

People are always afraid of unknown things, and for bureaucrats who read the books of sages, the steam engine is an existence beyond common sense. Their knowledge is useless, so this thing and its principles are heresy.

The emergence of steam engines will lead to drastic changes in society. The bureaucrats will sooner or later understand this, so they will not sit still and wait for death.

For thousands of years, bureaucrats, regardless of their origins, gentry, or military honors, have actually been large landlords, that is, they belong to the landlord class. For them, the steam engine that seriously destroys the agricultural social structure can only be a vicious thing that is extremely guilty, rather than a magical tool to promote social development.

The powerful and powerful families and families live a life of luxury and wealth, relying on large manors to serve as the economic foundation. The emergence of steam engines will inevitably accelerate the bankruptcy of the manor economy in the long run.

The practicality of steamships makes personnel and material exchanges more convenient, which means that the "mobility" of farmers who were originally imprisoned on the land suddenly increases and have more choices. This is not good news for landlords of all sizes.

Not to mention the emergence of a large number of workshops, which has caused factory owners, workshop owners and landlords to compete for labor. Landlords who have exploited farmers by collecting land rent for thousands of years will inevitably become more and more difficult.

The smaller the land and more people in a place, the more beneficial it is for landlords, because it means that they can increase land rent and exploitation, and they are not afraid of not being able to recruit people to farm.

When there were too many monks and too little porridge, he was "fortunate to be a tenant farmer. He could only swallow his anger in the face of various exploitation by the landlords, and even had to send his wife and daughter to the master's house to help the servants, spending nights from time to time.

Landlords like to imprison farmers on the land the most, and in order to survive, farmers can only kneel at their feet to make cattle and horses.

Now, someone is fighting against them. As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. The resentment of landlords from all over the world will sooner or later gather to vent their culprits.

Who is the initiator? Of course it is Yuwen Wen.

But Yuwen Wen has artillery and a strong army in his hands. Whoever dares to rebel openly is seeking death.

Therefore, the opponents could only take their anger on the steam engine, on the steamship, on all kinds of strange tricks and tricks. Yuwen Wen, who was able to support the strange tricks and tricks, "collapsed", and the opportunity for the conservative bureaucrats and landlords to counterattack and count them.

Yuwen Wen thought of "the afterlife", so he immediately began to think of countermeasures. This was not his unfair concern, but "historical knowledge".

In the original history, in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, the Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty, sent eunuch Zheng He to the West to "state-owned" sea trade, bringing huge income to the national treasury.

It is precisely because of the abundant fiscal revenue that Zhu Di conquered the grasslands in the north, set foot in Annan (Jiaozhou), dredged the Grand Canal, built the Beijing City, and fought foreign wars and made great constructions. However, unlike Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, he did not incite chaos in the world.

However, the bureaucratic class did not benefit from the sea trade that Zheng He had inquired to the West, so when Zhu Di collapsed, all kinds of advice about worrying about the country and the people emerged.

The voyage to the West caused the national treasury to be inadequate, and the court could not make any mistakes; Annan rebellions were frequent, as if they were useless, so it would be better to cut them off.

As a result, Zheng He's navigation chart ended in a fire (some say it was hidden).

The court cannot hold maritime trade, because it is a competition for profit with the people, so the sea must be banned.

As for the coastal majors colluding with powerful people, and the bureaucrats know the law and break the law to make a fortune by doing maritime trade, that is nothing.

In a grand era of navigation, the curtain was pulled back as soon as the curtain opened, with the death of the powerful emperor.

When Yuwen thought of the end of Zheng He's fleet, he couldn't help but think of his own fleet of two-ocean trading company.

There is no doubt that if measures are not taken to prevent it, the high-rise buildings he built with his life-long energy will inevitably fall apart after his death, under the counterattack of the conservative bureaucratic group.

Some people say that the sea trade is exhausting the people and the wealth, so the North and South Oceans trading companies were dissolved, and the huge profits of the sea trade were divided up by the coastal local snakes, but the court could not get any benefits;

The development cost of Jiaozhou, Nanzhong, and Liaodong is too high, so it is better to simply detain the local tyrants and chiefs to serve as governors and county magistrates, and to withdraw the garrisons and immigrants to save expenses.

If there are people in these places who are separatist and proclaim the king, then as long as they openly regard the Great Zhou as the sect leader, send envoys to pay tribute from time to time to express their opinions, and create a prosperous scene where all nations come to pay tribute.

Steamboats are good, but they will steal the jobs of many people. Countless young and strong people have lost their food from the canal transportation and become refugees wandering around. However, major problems will happen. Therefore, the steamboats should not be used. They can rely on the civilians to support the boat and pull fibers.

As the saying goes, "Loyalty and unpleasant words", the hard advice of the court officials, as a young emperor who is determined to become a wise ruler, how can he not listen?

Therefore, everything may be like the original history, a large number of navigation charts that embodies the hard work of countless people, as well as various steam engines and steamship drawings, all of which have been burned down in the name of high-soundingness, or mysteriously disappeared.

When Yuwen Wen thought that all this was likely to come true, he felt like a knife was twisted.

He could not tolerate his hard work being trampled on, and he could not tolerate the seeds he had finally planted were dug up and thrown away as soon as they sprouted.

But a person's life span is limited. No one dares to do this when he is alive, but what if he dies?

The prince who Yuwen Wen carefully trained may continue to implement his will, but what about his grandson?

Zhu Di, the Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, recaptured Annan and sent Zheng He to the West. When his grandson Zhu Zhanji (Emperor Xuan), he gave up Annan and voyage to the West.

The Ming court gave up Annan at least with objective factors. He had to do so, but giving up voyage to the West really made future generations sigh.

Yuwen Wen felt that if he did not take measures to make arrangements in advance and could not guarantee his grandson, he would be fooled by others to "destroy his martial arts" and help count the money with a smile when he was sold.

Based on the current reality of frequent coal mine accidents, he can come up with some of the remarks he will say at that time:

"Your Majesty! Although the steamship is good, the coal burned is exchanged for countless miners' lives, so the steamship does not burn coal, but human lives! For the sake of the people of the world, I would like to stop the steamship!"

Yuwen Wen knew that this kind of tune would not have to wait, and it would inevitably appear in a few years. Opponents stood on the moral high ground and asked for the "people" for their decrees, so it was difficult for him to call back directly.
