Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 631: All Beings (5)

Huang Daozhou was a little out of his mind and stayed in the luanjia, but what emerged in his mind was the scene of the huge steam transmission device and its rumbling operation.

Although it was a big movement.

That's a short run though.

It was just the visual impact that shocked Huang Daozhou, which obviously exceeded his cognition.

Zodiac Zhou couldn't understand why burning coal can drive a very heavy machine after boiling a pot of water. Why?
Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the cushion, holding a memorial in his hand, and glanced at the distraught Huang Daozhou, showing a smile that was not a smile.

This is the clash of old and new ideas.

When it comes to the exploration of unknown domains, the pillars of the Ming Dynasty like Huang Daozhou are not really interested. What they want to see is the great harmony of the world.

But Daming, who has many conflicts and complicated problems, wants to use the previous methods to resolve them, which is nothing more than drinking poison to quench his thirst again and again.

Only by getting rid of the shackles of the old order, opening the door to the new world as soon as possible, sorting out the primary and secondary contradictions, and clarifying the order of the reform, can it be possible to gradually solve the problem.

The research and development involving steam engines is actually a super-class field for the current Ming Dynasty.

As long as the steam engine is to be continuously developed, a lot of money and food will be spent, and a large number of talents will be deployed. As for when it will be developed and when it will be mass-produced, everything is unknown.

But if you don’t do it now, and do it when the steam engine is needed to solve the problem, it is obviously a temporary cramming, which is obviously not advisable.

"Does Your Majesty want Da Ming to rule you and replace manpower with machines?"

Huang Daozhou looked a little complicated, looked at Emperor Chongzhen, cupped his hands and said, "For such...steam...machines, the Ministry of Internal Affairs allocates a lot of money every year. What benefits does Sheji bring?"

Although Huang Daozhou was shocked, when he thought of the money spent on the research and development of the steam engine by the Armed Forces Institute, reason prevailed.

"Does the Qing family think it is possible to replace manpower with machines?"

Emperor Chongzhen put down the memorial, looked at Huang Daozhou and said, "I think it is feasible, and this will definitely become the mainstream trend in the future. After all, people will get tired, but machines will not.

No matter how serious the wear and tear is, you only need to replace the corresponding parts at that time. These are things that people can't compare.

As for what benefits the steam engine mentioned by the Qing family can bring to the Ming Dynasty, I can't say yet, but the steam transmission device currently developed by the Armed Forces Academy is extraordinarily large and useless.

The operation stopped completely before a cup of tea, and even almost caused an explosion. In my opinion, that is a waste-like existence.

However, I want to support the Armed Forces Academy in developing steam engines, and I want Fang Yizhi, Song Yingxing, and Jiao Xu to be able to explore and summarize steam dynamics.

Let alone 100 million taels of silver, even if it is 1000 million taels of silver, I have to spend it frugally. This is the only way for Daming to survive! ! ! "

One of the meanings of Emperor Chongzhen's special establishment of the House of Internal Affairs is to help himself earn as much money as possible to meet his gradually increasing demand for money.

This is something that the eunuchs and eunuchs of the inner court must never interfere with, because their crippled bodies cause distorted psychology. In the eyes of the emperor, each of them can still be regarded as a human being, but once they exceed the control of the imperial power, that one One becomes a wolf.

Without exception!

This is what Emperor Chongzhen never wanted to see.

And relying on the Ministry of Internal Affairs to create a second set of civil servants, and send batches of inexperienced scholars to work in various places through the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Even if some of them will eventually be corrupted, it will take at least a certain period of time. This can help Emperor Chongzhen earn money. As for the batches of corrupt and degenerate groups, the ICAC, Dongchang, Neichang, and Xichang will be punished according to the law.

In the process of relying on the administrative team of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, gradually developing industry and commerce, and gradually earning silver, it can also indirectly promote the circulation of silver in the Ming Dynasty. Increase your income.

Seigniorage was a sharp weapon held by Emperor Chongzhen.

He wants to promote circulation through development, use circulation to promote Sittui, punch out with such a combination, and then gradually rectify the financial order of Ming Dynasty.

Everything needs a process.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is just a product of a special period. It will be gradually banned when the planning and deployment of Emperor Chongzhen achieves victory in the initial stage.

Huang Daozhou walked down the Luanjia tremblingly, his mind was confused, looking at the Meridian Gate Tower in front of him, for some reason, a chill appeared in his heart.

Is the future Daming going to become a Daming he doesn't know?
Emperor Chongzhen drove slowly in the mighty Chaowu Gate, surrounded by a group of imperial guards and eunuchs.

it's very windy.

The figure of Zodiac Zhou is very thin.

Looking at many civil officials entering and leaving the Meridian Gate, and seeing the emperor Luanjia saluting and bowing one after another, at this moment, Huang Daozhou suddenly understood that the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs he led was not a simple official.

What does the Son of Heaven want to do?
Ever since he was promoted to the chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, this idea has been gushing out, and after he drove to Xishan and saw the so-called steam transmission device, this idea became even stronger.

When Zodiac Zhou was walking in the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Qian Sule, the minister in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, had already gone to the Hall of Wuying with the edict drawn up by the emperor.

Military Department.

"Zhushu Fu, Your Majesty's will is very clear. The Beijing camp guarding the capital is not the stragglers of the Ming Dynasty, but the elite troops. Therefore, it is necessary to change uniforms."

Qian Sule suppressed the surge in his heart, looked at Wang Zaijin, Huang Liji and other military ministers, frowned slightly and said: "When it comes to armor, military uniforms, etc., the Armed Forces Institute under the Ministry of Internal Affairs will cover the details, which saves a lot of money." silver.

Considering that the ordnance, firearms, artillery and other standard equipment that are uniformly refitted are the bulk of this refit, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can provide 100 million taels of silver, and the rest of the silver needs to be obtained from the Ministry of War and the cabinet by your Military Aircraft Department. If necessary, fight with the Ministry of Household Affairs.

I believe that no one wants to see the catastrophe that Gyeonggi experienced in the second year of Chongzhen repeat itself again, right?This is also what His Majesty said. "

The Hall of Martial Arts was extremely quiet. Wang Zaijin, Huang Liji and the others had complex expressions. Looking at Qian Sule, they felt a lot of pressure in their hearts.

It would cost too much money to change the clothes of the Jingying garrison guarding the Gyeonggi garrison. Even if the Ministry of Internal Affairs solves part of it, the remaining part is not small.

The key point is that this matter is not under the control of their military aircraft department, but they are in charge of it under the decree issued by the emperor. This will obviously cause unnecessary disputes between the court and China.
