A City of Infinite Winners in One's Life

But Cai Yan didn't know that the problem of aristocratic families continued until the subsequent Whip Dynasty was not resolved in a real sense, that is, after the establishment of New China, the traditional sense of wealthy families disappeared completely.However, the new type of aristocratic family has risen again, but the harm of the new type of aristocratic family is not as severe as that of the old aristocratic family, coupled with the entanglement of interests, so the new type of aristocratic family has not been suppressed.But even so, the new type of family is still a disaster for the country. People all have a group mentality, and the problems of the family will never be completely solved.

"Yuzhou is good, but there are too many mountains. After Jingzhou stabilizes, I plan to move the core of power to Jingzhou to prepare for the conquest of Yizhou." Li Wei patted his cheek, now is not the time to sigh, since Jingzhou If it is defeated, then Jingzhou must be allowed to play his role, or else what is the purpose of attacking Jingzhou.

"Yizhou? Isn't Jingzhou and Yangzhou enough now?" Cai Yan asked strangely.

"It's far from enough. Because of the problems left over by history, the population structure of the south and the north is very unreasonable. There are too few people in the south. I am going to migrate part of the population here. Let the north and the south achieve a balance. Moreover, our infrastructure capacity is incomparable to other princes. The terrain problem of Yizhou is not a problem for us at all, and the land of Yizhou is no worse than Jingzhou, even if it is called Tianfu.” Li Wei explained.

"But that's not enough to make you move to the base camp. There must be other reasons." Cai Yan's expression was a little puzzled. She must not have seen through Li Wei's entire plan, or else she would sit here. , instead of Li Wei to sit.

"Look at the map."

Li Wei spreads out a map. Unlike the simple maps of this era, Li Wei's map is more detailed, and various terrains are roughly marked. The terrain of Yizhou belongs to the basin, and the climate and environment They are quite pleasant. Although the development is not enough in this era due to road problems, in terms of purely geographical environment, it is still above Jingzhou.

"The current situation in Yizhou is not very good, because the previous chaos led to Yizhou without a leader, so at this time, Xi Qiang took advantage of this opportunity to attack, and Nanman also took advantage of the fire, and now most of Yizhou has been occupied by aliens. Divided. However, the terrain of Yizhou is difficult to get in and out, so the barbarians who entered Yizhou were dragged by the local Han army and could not get out of Yizhou. I plan to drive all these barbarians out. "

..  

Li Wei's finger circled the area marked by Yizhou on the map, Xi Qiang must be pressed to death, and Nanman must also be taught a lesson.The Nanbans belong to a derivative ethnic group of the Han people. The two sides have inexplicable entanglements in blood and culture. The Nanbans are barely connected with the Chinese blood, and they belong to the group that Li Wei wants to win over, while the Xiqiangs are really aliens with deep hatreds. of the undead foe.

Now because of the lack of population, Li Wei is going to sinicize all the southern barbarians. As for the western Qiang, it must be fought back.Because the Western Qiang, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan belong to nomadic peoples, it is difficult to assimilate. Most of the southern barbarians live in the mountains, and they themselves have been sinicized to a certain extent. Li Wei is [-]% sure to subdue the southern barbarians. But Xi Qiang was in trouble, and they were unwilling to give up their own culture, so they could only fight.

Just like the bald eagles of later generations promote their universal values ​​all over the world, in order to assimilate the enemy culturally, and then the enemy becomes his own or an ally.The same is true of Chinese culture. Relying on its own advantages, it has been exporting culture to foreign countries. In fact, the entire East Asia can be said to be a pan-Chinese cultural circle. Whether it is Neon, Bangzi Kingdom, or Yueyue, it has suffered from history. Only with the edification of Chinese culture can we develop the present civilization.

The conflict over cultural inheritance is endless, which is why Li Wei is determined to take action against the aliens who cannot be assimilated. Either naturalize China or die, there are only two options. .

Going west, like going north, is a part of the overall strategy. In contrast, going west can be earlier than going north, because although the situation in the north is rotten, there are two warlords Ma Teng and Gongsun Zan on the front line. In the Central Plains, there is no need to worry about the northern steppe barbarians going south for the time being.

In this way, it is very important to take Yizhou, the land of abundance, into the bag as soon as possible.It can be seen from the map that as long as Li Wei can win Yuzhou, the entire South will be completely unified, and a unified and peaceful environment will allow Li Wei to develop technology and expand commerce and agriculture with peace of mind.

Li Wei came to the Academy of Sciences and visited the latest achievements of the academicians of the Academy of Sciences. Of course, this cannot be said to be the latest achievements, because the products in front of them are replica products.Although it is only the simplest thing to reproduce "Three One Three", the appearance of this thing means that Li Wei's technology tree has climbed to the level of the early 18th century in some aspects. Of course, this is the European industrial period. The 18th century of China is used as a reference. The 18th century of China was the so-called "prosperous age" of the whip dynasty, so I won't complain about the so-called prosperity of the whip dynasty here.

After the members of the Academy of Sciences mastered the appropriate metal forging technology, they were finally able to make suitable rails and steam locomotives, which meant that the entire South would be connected together in traffic, and the upgrade of gunpowder technology would also Let the more advanced post-improved arquebus appear.But now the popularization of gunpowder weapons still needs time and technology accumulation, so it is the last word to give priority to popularizing railways and steam locomotives.

Force is very important, but it is also very important to cultivate internal skills. The emergence of steam locomotives means that the demand for coal by Li Wei's forces will greatly increase, and the entire industrial structure will undergo revolutionary changes. The industrial revolution is about to begin.

When there was only one state in Yuzhou, because of the limited land, many of Li Wei's ideas could only stay on paper, but now with the continuous expansion of the territory, many things can finally come into life from paper and complete industrialization Popularity is just rare.

Standing on the high platform, Huang Yueying clapped her hands and said, "Everyone has worked hard for a while, but your hard work is worth it. You have changed the whole world. From now on, distance is no longer a factor that restricts our travel. The whole country will be connected by railroad tracks, and your names will be written down in history!"

In the Academy of Sciences, many staff members were so excited that they cried, but this is human nature. After working so hard for so long, and finally seeing the results, it is normal to be excited.And the most important point is that the promotion of the status of craftsmen, in the era of exclusive Confucianism, the Mohist school was dismissed as a strange/obscene technique, and the whole school of theory was almost wiped out, because the Mohist school shook the foundation of the empire's rule, so it was To be suppressed like this, technological development is like a snail crawling.

But in Li Wei, the status of craftsmen is very high, especially those with innovative ability, who can learn more advanced skills and become a "researcher".A researcher is a very general title, but this title is an affirmation of ability. People who have made enough contributions in a certain area and can research new things are called researchers, but the promotion of craftsmen to researchers is Relatively simple.

It's like physics, chemistry, and medicine who want to be promoted as researchers. So far, there are not many people, but the number of people who have been promoted in industry has exceeded [-], and the total number of researchers in other fields is less than [-].However, by re-engraving steam trains and improving original gunpowder weapons, researchers in these industrial sectors did point out black technology in this era.

Huang Yueying jumped off the high platform and landed lightly beside Li Wei.

"Husband, you are ready, you can start the test at any time. This is a deep mountain, so don't worry about being discovered." Huang Yueying said seriously.

"Let's start, the previous scaled-down model is confirmed to be running normally, which means that there is no problem with our process, and the next step is the pressure test. Let's see how long it can run before the coal at the front of the car is consumed, and there is a problem in the middle. It's better to solve it in time." Li Wei nodded and said.

This research base located in the deep mountains is very inconspicuous in the entire Yuzhou system, but it is the scientific and technological development center of Yuzhou. Various technologies that surpassed this era were born here, some of which came from Li Wei. The products of the re-engraved samples, and more are the things that these researchers have developed their own brains, not to mention a lot of things are quite/practical...  

Under the order of Li Wei, the testing department began to test the running ability of the locomotive. In the depths of the mountains, a railway built on the mountain connects the entire mountain area. Relying on this railway, all points of the entire mountain area are connected in series. Up, can achieve rapid maneuver between two points.

Li Wei was very satisfied with the results of the test. The locomotive ran for seven hours just by relying on the coal that came with the locomotive. It ran from day to night. The workers in charge of shoveling coal were exhausted even on shifts. , but the results are gratifying, this kind of endurance, practicality is no longer a problem.If you run a long distance, you will carry one or two carriages of coal, so you don’t have to worry about running a long distance, and you can reserve coal in advance at important stations along the way. Pack.

And it is a little more extravagant. It can also adopt the configuration of front and rear double fronts, which is enough to cope with various environments. This steam locomotive with a speed of more than 33 kilometers per hour is already even more powerful than his 3.7 prototype. Li Wei is still on this result. Very satisfied.Although it still takes time to build a railway, once this head starts, then things will be easier to handle. This mode of transportation that can connect all places in series will directly change the travel habits of people in this era.

Li Wei and Huang Yueying waited until the locomotive's coal was completely burnt out at night.This historical moment, Li Wei still hopes to witness the whole process. This moment is also the first step in the comprehensive crushing of other civilizations by the Chinese nation in science and technology. Relying on stealing teachers to equalize, because other civilizations are not like Li Wei, who have popularized education and opened up people's wisdom, there are simply not enough available personnel to crack these "black technologies". .

Chapter 608. Traffic Strategy

The technological maturity of steam locomotives is the beginning of an epoch-making change. The arrival of the industrial age means that Li Wei will be crushed one-sidedly in the future battles.

Why is it called crushing? Because with the maturity of gunpowder technology, the technology of grenades can be considered to be conquered. Even if there is no musket, Li Wei's army will still be quite sharp in long-range attacks, and infantry can also become a siege. help.

Although the original grenade is cumbersome and difficult to throw compared with modern grenades, it is not a problem for the strong Yuzhou soldiers. These reckless men can easily throw this ten-pound iron lump to two hundred meters. In addition, if you use something like a slingshot as an auxiliary, the lethality of this "primitive howitzer" is better than that of a catapult and a crossbow.As long as the charge is increased, the destructive power is not a problem at all.

For muskets, we still need to wait for a while. At least after the post-loading technology and paper shell ammunition are mature, Li Wei is ready to popularize muskets in the army. The front-loading muskets are too 19 tasteless for the current Li Weijun, and they are not as easy to use as bows and arrows. , Only after reaching the rear-loading and paper-shell bullets, and the musket after the reciprocating line in the gun chamber, can it be regarded as barely able to enter Li Wei's eyes.Now, it is better to popularize steam locomotives first.

Under the condition that there is no shortage of coal, Li Wei has enough resources to promote the power revolution, and the people of the Academy of Sciences also pointed out a black technology that Li Wei did not expect, that is, a small steam engine.For example, the steam engine that can drive the locomotive is powerful, but it also has the characteristics of huge size and bulk, and it is not very suitable for other places except for the use of the train.

Because Li Wei's steam engine did not start from scratch, but from a replica, so the foundation was missing, but in this case, the researchers of the Academy of Sciences just miniaturized the steam engine, and Li Wei instantly doubted that the world's technology tree Will I be directed to steampunk by myself?

However, steampunk is a heresy, and it is really a serious subject. Modernization still relies on new electromagnetic technology.But now, it is possible to implement this kind of steam power. At least before the advent of the internal combustion engine, this kind of steam engine can replace animal power to a certain extent, but the combustion ratio of coal is really bad, and it is far worse than fuel oil. Therefore, it can only be used as a transitional technology. Once the technology of internal combustion engines and electric power matures, the steam engine belongs to the technology that must be eliminated.

Only with electricity can real modernization be achieved, without electricity everything is empty talk.

"Very well, the emergence of steam locomotives can make up for the current capacity shortage. At least in terms of transporting materials, people no longer need to carry horses, which can liberate part of the labor force." Li Wei still thinks that his population is not enough, and the time is not waiting. People, if you want to complete the goal of conquering the world, then you must speed up the progress.

"But the popularity of steam locomotives will make many caravans unemployed..." Huang Yueying sighed.

"The advancement of society is inevitable, and when some people make progress, others will fall behind. This situation is very normal. The government has always provided re-employment training for unemployed people. As long as they are not brainless idiots, they all know what to do. "Li Wei naturally knows about this situation, but progress will inevitably bring pain, just like the wave of layoffs under Xinhua and the strategy of high-speed and high-speed rail.

At that time, many people were shouting, "Country, please wait for your people."But does the country dare to stop?I dare not, but continue to build high-speed roads and railways under huge pressure, so that the economy will take off later. If the money for the construction of railways and high-speed roads is distributed to those people under pressure, those people will still be It is sitting on the table, and the country is still in a dilemma of lack of money.

Why do many third world countries fail to develop?That is because it cares too much about the so-called public opinion and people's livelihood. For the key goal, no matter how much the price is, it must be paid when it should be paid. The world's blockade is rising again, and more countries that so-called stop and wait for their people are caught in war and turmoil.When a country develops, if it does not advance, it will be destroyed.

"Okay, it can only be handed over to the relevant departments, but how to protect the rails of the steam locomotive? I am afraid that someone will take risks and destroy the rails." Huang Yueying said with some worry.

The steam locomotive is indeed an existence that subverts common sense for this era, and it can transport a large amount of people and goods at one time, whether it is used to transport troops or transport other things, it is very convenient. It can be said that steam locomotives and The popularization of railway tracks is a strategic layout.This layout is very important and should not be broken by anyone.

"Kill, only death is the best teacher. The emergence of steam locomotives will inevitably affect the interests of some people. If those people voluntarily transform their industries, official uniforms are also supported, but if there is an unwarranted mind, then I The only way to deal with these people is to kill the Nine Clan, and they use all kinds of torture to kill the Nine Clan. I hope those people don't play with fire." Li Wei sighed.

Although the popularization of technology is not easy, it does not mean that Li Wei will not use modern technology. For example, drone patrols can handle 860 things well, even if saboteurs are dispatched in the dark, they cannot Escaping the "eyes" of the drone and directly using a set of electromagnetic nets, Li Wei's magic puppet can directly arrest people.When people are used to the existence and convenience of steam locomotives, these problems will naturally disappear.
