Chapter 1049
On the day the Beiyang Iron Stables factory building was built, the huge flywheel was running from slow to fast, and the crankshaft would make a "chi chi" sound every time it turned, and then the whole factory building was like other factories with tall chimneys. Start working with a roar.

But on that day, the iron stables produced almost nothing, only processed more than 800 steel spokes and cut more than 6000 small steel pieces from the iron factory.

The nine machines that fit the iron stables are not up to the mark and need to be reworked.

But they have a new big crimping machine that eliminates the need to use gun barrels to make frames.

Ships of chain parts have been shipped from Nanyang. These hand-made parts have been selected by Nanyang craftsmen before they are shipped, and then shipped across the ocean.Under the setback bed powered by Beiyang steam, relying on the most skilled craftsmen to manually reprocess and drill holes to make it a suitable precision part.

All the parts that make up the iron horse can be assembled quickly, but the iron stable is not assembled, only the qualified parts are soaked in the oil seal... If the machine can work, use the machine, and if the machine can't work, replace it by hand, and overcome it. Everything in the arsenal Difficulties can be overcome with human might, but they cannot overcome the lack of raw materials.

They have everything, and if there are not enough parts, they will send tasks to the coasts of the provinces from Nanyang to Beiyang. Those military craftsmen who have nothing to do can also rely on making parts to make up for their income. Not to mention the simple frame, Beiyang itself can get it done.

But they don't have rubber. After all, the eucommia that Bai Yuanjie planted in Qingyuan in the early years is very small. In the past, he couldn't use it up no matter what, because this thing is really not very useful, but now the vulcanization process is sent back to China from Great East Asia, and the rubber suddenly There is a huge gap.

Cannons are wanted, steam engines are wanted, and even merchants who make shoes want to use them. Beiyang's civilian iron horses simply cannot get meat to eat.

So they need to plant more rubber trees.

Usually, a tool is made to make another thing. Only when the tools are accumulated into a system, can the precision of one of the original tools be improved, and the progress can be completed in the form of a spiral.

For example, Guan's drilling machine was born to drill gun tubes. As long as it is better than hand drills, this pair of drilling machines will be finalized. As long as the productivity does not change, even a new drilling machine will be like this.

But once the productivity changes, it will lead to a straight rise.

When the manual drilling machine fails, use hydraulic power, which lasts a long time and is faster; when it becomes firepower, the speed is faster, and the drill bit in the past is no longer useful, and then enters the next technical system to spiral upward, which brings about a leap in productivity.

Changes in productivity will cause a large number of producers in the original production system to lose their jobs. The country is powerful, can restrain its people, and can maintain stability to the greatest extent. However, the social turmoil it brings cannot be avoided, and the market must be expanded.

On the one hand, the pressure is released, and on the other hand, it can also stabilize domestic prices, so that the prices of produced products will fall steadily, rather than in a straight line.

The political system in ancient China can easily achieve this point. The official selection system of Tianshelang in the court and Tianzitang in the evening is unparalleled in the world. They enter the official career through the imperial examination from the common people. The humanistic tradition passed down for thousands of years determines that they must plead for the people. , not a simple tax official.

But what the emperor in the Forbidden City did has nothing to do with this.

At the end of March, Ye Mengxiong sent a manuscript about the development of iron horses and various rubber trees in the south to the cabinet. The cabinet and the supervisor jointly approved it, and the emperor's edict was sent to Beiyang within a few days.

The emperor appropriated 3 taels of silver from the inner treasury to fund Beiyang's research on iron horses.

It seems that spending money can make the emperor feel happy. Along with this edict, it was sent to the Forbidden City, and the master of education and politics in the six provinces who ordered last year's grain harvest to submit to the court the social education status of children in 54 counties who were exempted from this year's land tax.

The emperor's order was sent by telegram, and after only ten days of waiting, the situation was sent to the Forbidden City by horses from all over the country. The people in the court asked the emperor to take care of these things and pay more attention to his studies.Unexpectedly, the emperor immediately sent a summary report of his own to the cabinet by the toolman Zhang Jing.

There are 54 four townships in 180 counties that lack social studies, and another 240 four government-run primary schools are fading and abolished. They immediately submitted their dissatisfaction with the post of education and administration to the cabinet, and proposed that the two capitals, one thirteen provinces, and all provinces and townships The reports of sociology and government studies returned to Beijing.

Except for the cabinet, the six ministries have nothing to do with Xuezheng matters. Strictly speaking, Xuezheng is an imperial envoy directly appointed by the emperor. Academy.

The Ming Dynasty emancipated the mind so much that during the Wanli period of Longqing, there was almost no place in the world where there was no academy and no place where there was no lecture. The lecturers were like a blank sheet of paper, but the lecturers were not. If you are good at learning, you will be an official. Secondly, you can also enjoy this kind of support and recognition.

All kinds of ideas are understandable for the young emperor, but they have become the most dangerous weapon for Zhang Juzheng.

He Xinyin was arrested and killed by Huguang governor Wang Zhiyuan, and the imperial court ordered 64 academies to be destroyed, prohibiting wanton talk and money-making lectures that did not respect the government's orders.

Empty talk and money-making are certainly one aspect, but what is more important is the attack on Zhang Juzheng.

But for the emperor in the Forbidden City - realizing personal value is the most important thing.

For example: catch up with King Lu.

"Zhu Yichun, where are you going! Come back and read to me!"

In the Forbidden City, Lu Wang let go of his maid and ran ahead, his little boots flew away, and he screamed as he ran.

The powerful Huode Xingjun chased after him so that his mouth and nose smoked, and the emperor behind him was holding a book, and while chasing him, he kept patting Huodexing Jun on the head in anger: "Change, change, you have changed so much. If you can't even catch up with a 12-year-old child, what use are you? I see that you also want to go to prison to be with Humility, so let me chase you!"

Even though Huode Xingjun's head was slapped loudly by Emperor Wanli, but his power is so powerful, he walks faster than King Xiaolu, but this kid spread his feet and ran so that his soap boots flew away, which made Huode What does Xing Jun take to chase.

In the end, the angry Emperor Wanli had no choice but to shout loudly: "Zhu Yiliu, if you run away for me again, I won't believe that you are not tired!"

Needless to say, the child doesn't feel tired when he runs. For a while, King Lu's calves are flying fast. Seeing that he is about to run up the stone steps of Qianqing Gate, a tall figure suddenly flashes out of his eyes, holding Queen Lu by the back of his neck. Lifting up, the calf is still falling down, the little hand swings the arm quickly: "Fly up, Ben Wang Fei..."

Immediately afterwards, King Lu stopped talking, because he heard Huode Xingjun's discouraged voice behind him, and his brother Wanli said hello tremblingly: "Master, why are you here?"

　Good morning!
