Aspiration

Chapter 221 The Industrial Revolution
There are many questions like this, because Li Laiheng has advanced knowledge hundreds of years later, and he can give some suggestions on many problems. Knowledge like "sparks" often makes the smart people at that time suddenly enlightened, and suddenly feel that there is something wrong. Another new world awaits them.

Therefore, after a few months, innovation in almost every field has become explosive.

agriculture.They began to look for seed selection. After hearing Li Laiheng's introduction that the yield per mu of hybrid rice could reach [-] jin, they were shocked and eager to find new rice varieties.

Business.They began to take the road of union, forming chambers of commerce and associations; they began to take the road of division of labor and cooperation; they began to learn to build channels, and logistics became a major industry; The overall brand goes to the market; they start to take the road of grouping.wait.These are all laying the foundation for the formation of a powerful international trade group in the future.

banking.The real use of paper money began.Copper coins, gold and silver were withdrawn from the circulation market, and they were replaced by "big Chinese coins".Branches of various banks were gradually established in various places.People began to save money, and the cost of borrowing money for businessmen was greatly reduced. Some rules were also formulated to provide institutional guarantees for lending behavior.

smelting.This is the basis for the development of industry.Li Laiheng did not major in smelting, but the concept of alloys and his little knowledge of smelting are an inspiration to craftsmen engaged in smelting.Therefore, after the first batch of real fine steel was smelted, Li Laiheng believed that this steel had reached the level of the early [-]th century, and it was enough to make weapons and ships.

Industrial inventions and creations are very fast. The first storage battery was successfully manufactured. It was just the simplest chemical battery, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was a great invention.With accumulators, there are real batteries.Then, the generator was invented.With electricity came many more inventions that followed.

The manufacturing industry has sprung up, and the handicraft industry has become a factory. With the application of new technology, the development of new technology has produced more products, and the cost has been greatly reduced. In particular, Li Laiheng introduced the concept of assembly line and the manufacturing concept of standard parts to them. , Industrial production has developed by leaps and bounds.Coupled with the rapid development of circulation and logistics, the price of products has risen sharply, and the consumption power of the people has greatly increased.From an agrarian society to a quasi-industrial society, the people are all rejoicing.

Medical technology started to really advance.The theory of microbial pathogenicity has been promoted, coupled with the successful development of optical equipment, microscopic technology has appeared, researchers can not only clearly see cells and bacteria, but also begin to isolate bacteria, which has laid a solid foundation for the prevention of infectious diseases Basically, everyone knows the prevention methods of respiratory infectious diseases and intestinal infectious diseases.Although Li Laiheng can't treat diseases, he has many famous doctors visiting him almost every day. With his knowledge of physiology and hygiene and his experience in living in the 21st century, he has almost become a "miracle doctor".For example, there are many diseases with big necks. He told the visiting doctor that he could eat more kelp for this kind of disease; for people who were "blind" in the evening, he said that they should eat pork liver and carrots, and such patients would recover soon.Also, he told the doctors about the origin and effect of antibiotics, and soon many people devoted themselves to basic medical research.

Wait, these are just some examples.The prospect of a prosperous age for the Greater Chinese Empire is already looming.

Li Laiheng was very busy.Because, for people hundreds of years ago, he knew too much.

On this day, Zhang Wenxiu made an appointment. His first steam-powered iron-clad ship was about to go on a sea trial. This was a great progress.

Recently, Zhang Wenxiu has been obsessed with shipbuilding.At first, everyone was highly skeptical about making iron boats. They didn't believe that iron boats could float. However, according to Li Laiheng's description, the craftsmen were surprised when the models they made really floated.From this incident, everyone's admiration for Li Laiheng turned into awe, no one did not regard him as a god, even Zhang Wenxiu was in admiration.So, soon, the Academy of Sciences hired Li Laiheng as the chief scientist.

Li Laiheng and Zhang Wenxiu came to the pier. It was a small sea-going ship with a hundred-ton class.Of course, in this era, this is a huge monster, with a hundred-ton class, it can carry 20 catties of goods, which means that more than 1000 people are crowded on it, and the ship will not sink. What a miracle that is.

Along the river, there are huge crowds of people. People who come to see the excitement come from hundreds of miles away. Many people live in temporary tents. They occupy a favorable terrain for many days and wait to watch the iron boats launch into the water.

As soon as Li Laiheng and others arrived, they suddenly yelled, "The prime minister is here." Then all the people knelt down on the ground with their heads in the black, shouting "Nine thousand years old nine thousand years old".Li Laiheng was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood that these were all feudal remnants, which had not yet been eliminated from people's minds.

Li Laiheng smiled admirably, why didn't people call him "nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years old"?Only one year younger than the emperor?

There is a tweeter in the shipyard, which is also a new invention.It is used in speeches during the launching ceremony of iron ships.Li Laiheng came to the tweeter and tried the sound, and it was not bad, reaching the level of shoddy production in the [-]th century. There was no reverberation, but the volume was very loud.

"The citizens of the Great China Empire, this government has abolished the thousands of years of feudalism and established a capitalist country with a constitutional monarchy. The interests of the people are paramount. From now on, the officials of this government will serve the people, and they will no longer be the old officials. Except for the emperor, you don’t have to bow down to anyone, let alone thousand-year-old or long-year-old Shanhu. You can criticize, abuse, and accuse any government officials. The more you dare to criticize and criticize, it shows that our country is making progress. Soon, we The first criminal law is about to come out, and then the civil procedure law will also be introduced, and after a year or two, we can become a real country ruled by law. Well, without further ado, these ministers of the interior, Li Yan, will explain to you Yes, Minister of Justice Gao Guiying will soon promulgate Decree No. [-], which is the official constitution. The constitution stipulates the rights and obligations of our citizens, and this constitution is bigger than anyone else, even the emperor must abide by it.”

Having said that, Li Laiheng cleared his throat, turned around and said to Zhang Wenxiu, let's get back to the matter of the launching of the iron boat.Zhang Wenxiu said, at this opportunity, let's talk about our national system.

Li Laiheng thought for a while, smiled, and said, "Stop talking. I announce that my country's first steam-powered iron ship has been launched!"

"Boom boom boom" With the sound of several cannons, the big ship slowly slid into the water and floated smoothly on the water.Then, white smoke came out of the chimney, the roar of the steam engine sounded, and the iron boat slowly moved forward again.

"Wow!"

The long siren sounded the signal for the Great Chinese Empire to go to the world.
