Chapter 598: Electricity! (Part 1)
The 42nd year of the Imperial Ming Dynasty and the history of the Ming Dynasty must be a crucial year.
In early May, Emperor Zhu Yunwen of the Ming League formally signed an edict to abolish the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and the provincial capitals were unified and placed under the central government's direct control.
In the same month, Zhu Yunwen issued another edict: "The title of King, Duke, Hou, and Bo in the Ming Dynasty was still retained, but it will never inherit it for a generation. Those who are not from the surname Zhu in the country can also be given the title of King. The title of King is worth tens of millions, Duke, 5 million, 3 million, and Bo in one hundred years. The year is not short, and it is lost until his death."
This edict formally deprived all the royal family of the Ming Dynasty from the inheritance of the title, but also made hundreds of millions of people across the country go crazy.
A different surname can also be added to the title of king!
The first person to enjoy this honor was Ma Dajun, who had just taken office as the Chief of Staff.
‘Pingxi King’!
Zhu Di, who was far away in Nanjing, knew that Ma Dajun was just a boxer whom Zhu Yunwen introduced to fight with his clans.
To move the king's title is to move the clan, and to let the Ma Dajun Jin's title treat the horse's army as a gun envoy.
If the clan relatives cause trouble, the first King Pingxi will not agree.
People do not punish themselves and kill them.
Zhu Yunwen's move is very similar to when he first ascended the throne, he promoted Song Sheng to the command position of Mobei Metro.
What is more valuable is the meaning of a horse bone in a thousand gold market. The horse army was born in a mountainous family and could also be promoted to the king. What a great encouragement for all living beings in the world.
Even if one generation cannot inherit the sacrifice, so what?
Since the Ma army, Zhu Yunwen threw two dukes out one after another.
First, Xu Buji, the prince's grand tutor, was granted the title of Duke of Fuguo, and then Mo Cheng, the chief academician of the Academy of Sciences, was granted the title of Duke of Chengyun.
Two dukes, one craftsman.
The title of the Ming Dynasty began to benchmark against the country's contributions, regardless of the origin.
"As long as you make contributions to the country, the prince and the prince will be vacant and wait for the position."
Is it said that kings, princes, generals and ministers still better? Zhu Yunwen opened this road of the world. He could climb with the opportunity to work hard on any step. There is no hereditary iron hat or class walls that block the road.
"Try to learn and improve yourself, participate in construction and serve the country. Just work hard, and the rest will be your will!"
In the field of courageous thinking, Zhu Yunwen injected a shot of a heart-warming agent into the world, making the fighting spirit of the entire country more intense.
In this great era, the cabinet has also begun to prepare the Fourth Five-Year Plan.
The 42nd year of the Emperor Ming Dynasty is the final year of the 35th Plan. Looking forward to the 43rd year, we should make an advance plan.
Before the year-end launch conference began, the Academy of Sciences finally built the first generation of steam transport vehicles.
On this day, Zhu Yunwen and five people from the cabinet went to the Academy of Sciences to watch the ceremony.
"A journey of fifty-four miles in one hour can carry 8,000 kilograms of cargo or 50 people."
This is the effect of the first generation of steaming cars in the Ming Dynasty.
The speed is not as fast as the horsepower to pull the cart, but Zhu Yunwen is also very happy.
"My decades of long-lasting desire have finally been paid."
Everything is difficult at the beginning. If you can have this first generation of steaming cars, you will not be afraid of not having a second generation or a third generation. With a steam engine, you will not be afraid of not having an internal combustion engine.
It took Europe only forty or fifty years to go from the first generation of steam engines to internal combustion engines. Decades of years are not called long-term for a country at all.
Zhu Yunwen may not be able to see it, but this country will definitely witness it.
"I originally planned to pave the Beijing-Guangzhou Line on the first railway, but the current shipping capacity is not strong. In order to be practical, I should first open the Beijing-Pingjin-Pingjin first, so that the Pingjin Port can directly send shipping cargo to Beijing, saving manpower and waste during transportation."
"I am extremely ashamed of being guilty of the holy grace." Mo Cheng spoke out of his sins, which was indeed true.
The emperor plus his noble dignity and the whole country's support was helped for more than 20 years. It was only after building such an iron guy who was not even as good as a carriage, which made Mo Cheng very uneasy.
"You've done a good job."
Zhu Yunwen patted Mo Cheng on the shoulder, and the latter felt guilty.
"The Academy of Sciences has a detailed process for the rails required for this steamer. It will be delivered to the Ministry of Industry. The Beijing-Tianjin line must be built next year and must be completed within one year and cannot be delayed."
“No problem.”
Kuang Yi, one of the cabinet ministers in charge of the Ministry of Works, and Lima, intervened: "Beijing and Tianjin are only a hundred miles apart. Please rest assured. Don't say that if you dare to make a letter in one year, you will be open to traffic within six months."
He was brave, and Zhu Yunwen saved half of the time he planned to open his mouth.
It seems that he was stimulated by Mo Chengfeng Gong, and he wanted to pursue meritorious performance and worked hard to make progress.
Even half a year, Kuang Yihe felt that it was a bit slow. If he wasn't afraid of being shorter, he would have wanted to say four months.
It’s nothing more than just a few laborers in India and Japan.
One mile of railways and one mile of bones, Beijing and Tianjin are only a hundred miles away. How much can it take to fill your life?
With the support of high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes, India's population base is tens of millions, and it is impossible to use up all the crops produced.
"It is a good thing to be confident, but it also needs to ensure quality and quantity. It cannot cause problems in order to rush work, which will cause problems in the short term of opening the traffic."
Regarding Kuang Yihe's eagerness to show, Zhu Yunwen still reminded him, and the former naturally made a promise by patting his chest.
The group bypassed the steam locomotive and continued to stroll in the Academy of Sciences, and Mo Cheng acted as a guide.
"The new water pumping and drainage device has basically passed the experimental stage and can be put into use at any time. At that time, the palace can use the tap water as His Majesty said. The corresponding water pumping and sewage discharge systems will be assembled, so there will be no need for manpower to do these dirty work.
Moreover, new buildings that have not yet started construction in Beijing can be pre-buried in pipelines. After they are built, they will have new buildings with automatic water supply devices to facilitate people's livelihood."
The few people laughed softly: "In this way, His Highness the eldest prince should have a headache again."
Everyone knows that Zhu Wenkui is busy lowering housing prices, and once this item of Mo Cheng is put into use, the housing prices of new properties will definitely rise again, which is definitely a good thing for the housing market.
Zhu Yunwen did not respond, and his eyes were attracted by a platform in the distance.
There is a metal ring and a copper ring on the countertop, and covered with wool.
"This is?"
Zhu Yunwen couldn't understand it, so he posted a message softly. Mo Cheng beside him glanced at him and hurriedly answered: "Oh, a young man from our Academy of Sciences made it, saying that this would create sparks, I'll change him to this."
"A few iron pieces and a piece of wool can be used to ignite. Isn't this a joke?"
Several cabinet ministers chuckled and watched Mo Cheng go to find someone, but they didn't know that Zhu Yunwen's eyelids were pounding at this moment.
If he guessed correctly, this is an electric test!
Electrical testing is not a blank field for China, and it has a history of at least two thousand years. Shen Kuo's in detail records the ancient people's peeping of the mysterious field of electricity in the Song Dynasty.
It has tried all the triboelectric power, static electricity, and wool energy.
But it just doesn’t have a systematic summary, and there has been no deeper experiments.
The main reason is that the ancients thought that electricity was useless.
After all, it is easy to cause fire and hurt people when it is made, and it cannot be put into use in life.
Zhu Yunwen was still immersed in excitement here. Not far away, Mo Cheng had already led a young man to come over.
"Your Majesty, this is the person in charge of the spark experiment, Jiang Tianliang."
When this name sounds like this, it is probably born at dawn.
Jiang Tianliang, who was standing behind Mo Cheng, had no time to introduce his birth situation. At this moment, he complained: "Academician Mo, this is not a spark experiment, but an electric experiment, the electricity of lightning."
After complaining, he bowed to Zhu Yunwen and said, "I am a second-level academician of the Academy of Sciences, Jiang Tianliang, and see my Emperor Sheng Gong'an."
The several cabinet ministers standing behind Zhu Yunwen were shocked. Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him turned out to be a second-level academician.
The academician level of the Ming Academy of Sciences is very serious, and the quality of the pinyin is even more terrifying.
The chief academician receives a salary of the first rank, the first-level academician is a second-level academician, and the second-level academician is a third-level academician.
Although there is no administrative power, the annual salary this young man can receive is the same level as the governor of a province!
"Let me introduce it."
Zhu Yunwen didn't look at Jiang Tianliang. At this moment, his attention was all attracted by those small iron pieces.
