I am Peter III, Emperor of the Hexagon of the Goose Kingdom

Chapter 22 Dreams and Realities in the Carriage

The steam engine has not yet been invented, and the steam-powered carriages and locomotives are far away, so the most convenient tool for travel now is the carriage.

Peter only knew that the news paper was in the Academy of Sciences. The original Peter had no interest in the Academy of Sciences at all, and he didn't know where it was at all, so after he recast it, he didn't know where the Academy of Sciences was.

But it doesn't matter, Mirkowski is there.

Sitting quietly in the carriage, everything outside seemed to be separated from him by a barrier, and Peter fell into his own thoughts.

In this quiet little world, his consciousness is like a single string, plucking faintly, making a sound that can overflow far away, and then seems to hit an invisible barrier, and then returns, and then, again Toggle and go back, without each sound crossing over the other.

In an instant, countless thoughts emerged one after another, classified into different categories, and touched Peter's deeper wisdom and clearer mind.

After a while, Peter's eyelids moved slightly and he sighed.

If he was born 100 years earlier, he could do a lot of things, but now, it's already too late.

His hole cards are the steam engine, the textile machine, and the prediction of the trend of the Seven Years War 12 years later. At that time, he can push Prussia lightly, and then occupy the territory.

The principle of the steam engine is actually very simple. If you find a few experienced blacksmiths, he can make it now, but he can't do it now.

The country's most important weapon, even if it is an aunt with a natural camp, he is not at ease, he can't bet.

One is that one cannot gamble on the fact that a country has two opinions, and his opinion is still second. One is that one cannot gamble on the speed at which steam engine technology spreads abroad.

If you lose the bet, the price will be too heavy, and you may not be able to turn around.

Why did Britain become the world's most powerful country after the Industrial Revolution? It's not just the invention of the steam engine, but other conditions.

14, 15, and the enclosure movement that lasted until the 17th century caused a large number of farmers to go bankrupt and displaced, but the suffering of these people unexpectedly contributed to the rise of the British handicraft industry.

The enclosed land became a capitalist farm, all of which were used to raise sheep. Coupled with the opening of new shipping routes, a large amount of gold and silver flowed in from the Americas at that time led to currency depreciation and rising prices. And those who rely on enclosure to raise sheep make a fortune, and new nobles are born, which leads to more and more old nobles to follow suit.

The wool produced is not only sold to Flanders in the south of the Netherlands, that is, Belgium in the Netherlands, but also Florence in Italy. After the opening of the new sea route, the world’s trade routes shifted from the Mediterranean coast to the Atlantic coast. Britain is at the forefront of Atlantic shipping. On the center line, wool is exported, and the price of wool keeps rising, and Britain earns a lot of money.

There is no shortage of wool in Britain. In 1600, because of the drop in the price of black pepper in Portugal and the weakening of trade control in the Indian Ocean, the British East India Company took the opportunity to establish. The Virgin Queen Elizabeth I of England granted the company a 21-year trade patent license.

Later, this company established British India, from a commercial trading enterprise to the actual master of India.

What does India produce?
jute.

In 1607, Britain established Virginia, its first permanent colony in America. By 1733, Britain had established 13 colonies on the east coast of North America, which were the thirteen states of British North America.

In another 22 years, thirteen states in North America will issue the Declaration of Independence, declaring the birth of the United States.

And what about America?
cotton.

From 1629 to 1631, the Great Plague broke out in Milan, Italy, and Milan became a city of terror. Half of the 13 people died, and the Republic of Venice, the most commercially prosperous area in Italy, was also infected, and business declined after this blow.

Due to the rapid development of commerce in the Netherlands, the local handicraft industry has been hollowed out.

The competitiveness of these two large European handicraft distribution centers has directly declined. At this time, Britain has a vast colony and sufficient supply of textile raw materials. Cheap labor, or black slave labor in the Americas, made Britain show an unstoppable blowout trend after the steam engine, textile machine, and loom appeared.

This is the comprehensive reason for the rise of the United Kingdom.

In the [-]th century, the first barrel of heavy gold at the national level was definitely the textile industry!

Even after 400 years, the small country of Vietnam copied its operations, and relied on this to solve a large number of jobs and began to rise.

In short, this is definitely not a simple steam engine invention.

And what does Russia have? Russia also has wool in southern Russia, but it is far less than the United Kingdom. The fur it produces is still being paid by British second-hand dealers. Russia also has cheap labor. 90% of the total population is serfs, but they belong to nobles. If he wants to use it, there is no common interest, and the nobles will fight him desperately every minute.

So before he had the right to speak, once the steam engine appeared first in Russia, apart from the advantage in building railways, the great aristocrats would not have to pay taxes even if they earned a penny, and their development would be limited.

And once the technology is passed to the UK, it will be a big deal.

Now that Britain has met all the conditions, it is just waiting for Watt and James Hargreaves. He is equivalent to letting these two people appear in advance, and can advance the development of Britain by more than ten years. Crawled out of the coffin to thank him.

Therefore, these things must not appear before he has a certain right to speak and is sure that the technical secrets will not be leaked.

Judging from this, it seems that he can only lie flat now.

There are still a few things to look forward to, such as a stable crown prince, fiefs, and East Prussia.

Do less and make fewer mistakes, do more and make more mistakes, the first thing to do is to get the medal, otherwise once you get it to the monastery, let alone the steam engine, the little hen will not even think about it.

After the Seven Years' War began, he would not be like the original Peter, who almost surrendered Frederick II. As soon as his aunt died, this guy immediately made peace alone and stabbed France deeply.

The direct crit backstab, not to mention France, was stunned, Austria was stunned, and even Frederick II himself was stunned.

I was moved and said something to Peter, this guy is like a child.

And after occupying the territory of East Prussia, Austria was defeated everywhere. He took the opportunity to save the United States and sign a few treaties, so that the Queen of Austria would sell herself with a smile.

Others are either sea coachmen or colonial overlords, and it is not too much for him to do a little bit.

Iron ore itself can meet domestic demand. With steam locomotives, all that is missing is a unified government order. When the time comes to integrate national resources and export to earn the difference, it will not be less profitable than war.

Peter thought quietly in the carriage. Closing his eyes is a dream, but opening his eyes is reality. Without knowing what help the hexagonal system can give, he could only sigh faintly. Draw tentative conclusions:

"Lying flat and licking my aunt to stabilize the crown prince's position is the greatest victory..."

　Slapped in the face, I checked a lot of information, I didn’t write enough 1 words today, and I will make up for it in the third shift
