BXBX NOVEL Chapter 308: Industrial Revolution!
Seeing Wei Tieniu\'s appearance, Wei Tieniu\'s wife wondered, "Is **** to be admired after three days? Bah bah, why have you read a little and haven\'t said a single serious word?"
…
With the vigorous publicity of newspapers, government and businessmen, the news of Yizhou\'s new currency spread like wildfire in Li Yin\'s fiefdom, and Li Yin also asked the officials and the people\'s reaction to the new currency from time to time, and the information he got To his satisfaction, the vast majority of people still have no resistance to the issuance of the new currency, and most of the different opinions come from merchants in foreign regions. From this point, Li Yin also felt one thing, that is, he The earth has already won the hearts of the people, so the people will support and trust him so much.
In addition to the new currency, Li Yin then began to implement industrial reforms. Taoyuan began to sell various industrial machinery to the people and provide technical guidance. As soon as this news was released, businessmen in the fief exploded and flocked to Tong Tong like crazy. The Ministry of Commerce in 2011 asked about specific matters, and the Ministry of Commerce also took the opportunity to announce the prices, types, functions and other information of hundreds of industrial machinery, and more industrial technologies also came along.
"Steam looms are said to be more than a hundred times faster than manual work. My family has been in the cloth business for generations, so I have to be one step ahead of this." A businessman stayed in front of the Ministry of Commerce\'s announcement for a while, and then said to the housekeeper.
The butler glanced at the long notice, which contained other machines, and said, "Sir, do you want to take a look again? I saw that many businessmen seemed to be interested in textile machines. If there are more and more machines in Yizhou With so many textile factories, isn\'t the competition getting bigger!"
"It makes sense. There didn\'t seem to be many people interested in the cloth dyeing process just now. I think it\'s better to buy this. The cloth they produce must be dyed." The merchant changed his mind.
Similar to this businessman, many businessmen are making different choices, judging whether the business can make money, but no matter what their business is, Li Yin is sure to make a lot of money, because it is only a day, business The purchase contract signed by the Ministry reached 5 million, and as the news spread. More and more businessmen are rushing to the Ministry of Commerce to discuss matters.
At the same time, it was inevitable that businessmen would enclose land and build factories on Li Yin\'s fief, but fortunately, Li Yin had predicted this change in advance and had already nationalized the land. For disorderly behavior, Li Yin specially designated several industrial areas for these businessmen to settle in. He did so for the convenience of management, and this industrial area was naturally welcomed by the businessmen, because Li Yin promised that the government would provide them with shipment service. This is the real problem in this era, so Li Yin\'s promise undoubtedly gave them reassurance. Even if this kind of service needs to be charged, it is better than building a transport team by themselves.
Various measures were introduced one after another. The people suddenly felt that their brains were not enough, because these new things came one after another, leaving them almost no time to breathe, but no matter what, this change is beneficial to them of. Therefore, Li Yin\'s entire fief soon had a wave of learning about science and technology, eager to understand the principles of these things, and at this time Li Yin\'s movie projector began to come in handy. Hundreds of film projection teams began to go to various places in the fief to publicize the content of industrial reform, and at the same time popularize some scientific knowledge to the common people, so that they can understand the most basic industrial knowledge.
"The people\'s ability to accept new things is still very strong!" In the palace, Li Yin was holding a newspaper and reading the above content. According to the above statistics, 300 factories were established in a short period of time.
Li Randao: "In the past three years, the people have become accustomed to the endless things in Yizhou, so they are so easy to accept these new things."
Li Yan nodded and said: "That\'s right, and we need to pay close attention to the electricity and sewage treatment. Now that there are few factories, it doesn\'t affect anything. This problem will become serious when there are factories everywhere in the future."
"No problem. After the businessmen build factories, our basic industrial system will be basically completed. Then the power plant will be a natural thing. After all, we have mastered various technologies and only need materials." Li Ran said, and then he said: "Also, Your Highness, the production of the third-generation weapons has already begun."
"Rifled guns and rifled cannons?" Li Yin put down the newspaper and said, he was not surprised by the replacement of new weapons, because the research on rifled rifles has been going on for a long time, and now the industrial conditions in Yizhou have reached the production of these things Standard, not to mention the guidance of people like Li Ran, it is strange that the weapons have not improved a bit.
Li Randao: "Not only the rifling, but also the gunpowder and shells have been improved accordingly with our participation."
"Oh? Let\'s hear it." Li Yin is looking forward to what these smart people will come up with. After all, weapons are an important tool for foreign development. Naturally, the more advanced the better, and in this way, even if the high-end technological weapons are lost, they will be lost. It cannot be imitated.
Li Yin said: "First of all, for firearms, we have eliminated paper shells and adopted new metal bullets made of copper-clad steel. The shape of the bullets has also been changed to a cone, and the shells are the same. More importantly, the new shells will be blooming shells. , because the fuze has been developed, the power of the artillery will no longer be the same, and there is gunpowder. Cotton has now replaced granular gunpowder and become a new propellant. Generally speaking, the three generations of weapons have basically reached the level of World War I. standards."
"The standard of World War I? Well, yes, this is enough. Is there any other progress?" Li Yin then asked.
"Also, Taoyuan\'s mechanized military factory has been established, and the production efficiency has been improved by not a little bit. Even if His Highness wants to sell arms, it will be very easy." Li Ran added.
Li Yin nodded. Ever since smart people settled in Taoyuan, the technology in Yizhou has exploded. He used to worry about whether he could see the popularization of electricity in his lifetime. Now this problem has become a matter of course. Let\'s take a look at Li Ran , Li Yin said: "Industrial reform is also in progress now, and weapons have also been replaced. The matter of the Australian base should also be put on the agenda. With these weapons, the danger you face in Australia will be minimized."
"I also think this way. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that Yizhou\'s industrial foundation has been laid, the next problem is the problem of continuous replacement. Moreover, we have left room for this batch of machinery when we design it. It can be easily converted into electrical equipment. Therefore, excessive It will be a matter of course in the age of electricity, and His Highness does not have to worry that these machines will be eliminated by then."
Li Yin nodded lightly. Li Ran is a smart person, and his thinking is indeed more detailed than Li Yin. Thinking about the changes in the past six months, he once again thanked Yuan Shoucheng for leaving him such a huge wealth. Without them, Li Yin estimates that it will take decades for Yizhou to reach today\'s level, and some products that Yizhou industry cannot manufacture, as long as Li Yin provides them with materials, they can also manufacture them, such as Yizhou\'s money printing machine and The special paper needed for banknotes is produced under the guidance of these intelligent people, so Li Yin is also looking forward to letting these intelligent people go to Australia to open up a scientific research base on their own.
"Since this is the case, you should prepare. There are 24,000 smart people in total. You can take away 20,000 smart people and leave 4,000 people in Yizhou. What do you think?" Li Yin thought for a while and said. , for Taoyuan, more than 1,000 smart people are enough. The other smart people, Li Yin, are arranged in schools and government offices to help educate and establish a sound political and economic system. He calculated that 4,000 people are enough . (.)
