After speeding all the way to the Royal Academy and finding Xu Guangqi, Emperor Chongzhen said directly: "I have something to ask Xu Aiqing to divide some of the staff responsible for the steam engine."

Xu Guangqi said curiously: "Please give me instructions."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Since this steam engine can be used to pull cargo on a car, it can be used on a ship as well. If it is feasible, the ship does not need too much sailor paddling.

At that time, not to mention walking without wind, or walking against the wind, isn’t impossible?”

When Xu Guangqi heard this, he fell into deep thought for a moment.

Emperor Chongzhen did not bother Xu Guangqi, but instead wandered around the Royal Academy.

Now in the Royal Academy, the steam engine has been played with tricks.

I won’t talk about the large-scale ones used on the locomotive. After shrinking countless times, they will be used to drill the gun chamber, and will be transformed to make irons instead of the blacksmith’s hammer. These scenes appeared in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

A word flashed through Emperor Chongzhen's mind, the first industrial revolution.

The first industrial revolution in real history happened in which country, what happened, and what happened. Emperor Chongzhen said that he could no longer remember it, and that pitiful historical knowledge had been returned to the teacher long ago.

However, the first industrial revolution seemed to be marked by machines replacing handicrafts, and it was because the loom was still something.

Anyway, it is absolutely inseparable from the emergence of the steam engine.

This means that the Ming Dynasty now has the potential or capital to carry out the first industrial revolution.

Emperor Chongzhen probably knew a little about what consequences would arise after the Industrial Revolution, and it was precisely because he knew a little about it that he was a little worried.

Because the history teacher seemed to have said that the first industrial revolution required further elimination of feudal oppression and the implementation of free operation, free competition and free trade.

Through revolution and reform, the bourgeoisie gradually established its own rule in the consolidation of the first industrial revolution.

Is this the case? Emperor Chongzhen can't remember clearly, but when it comes to eliminating feudal oppression and realizing free management, then the first thing he wants to remove is his own emperor's life?

When it comes to oppression, who else has a higher class in the entire Ming Dynasty? A higher class also means that oppression is more ruthless.

When it comes to free management, aren’t the grandsons of the Donglin Party just pursuing free management without tax collection?

Now, I was cut into a dead dog by myself.

However, this also caused a consequence that these grandchildren who were born with capitalism must have already deeply hated themselves.

At that time, will the people of the Ming Dynasty who are dissatisfied with being oppressed, exploited and taxed will play a revolt that unites to promote their own tyranny?

Emperor Chongzhen was really unsure.

Just like France later, Louis was over 10 years old, and he forgot whether it was fourteen or sixteen. Was that unlucky guy just his queen who was given to the guillotine by his people who had passed the "Enlightenment"?

It is said that Louis's buddy was very kind in governing. Compared with him, he was a complete tyrant.

During that carnival consisting of madmen and sadists, after killing more than 200 people in three days, the queen's friend's body was raped.

Then, Louis and his queen went to the guillotine together.

No matter how elegant, dignified, or royal demeanor Louis and his queen were, they were all cut off their heads anyway.

No one has mercy.

Now, the Ming Dynasty had the foundation for the first industrial revolution. It would be fine if the steam engine was only retained in the Royal Academy. If it spread to the people, would it cause the first industrial revolution?

Emperor Chongzhen didn't dare to think about it. He thought about it. He was the tragic phenomenon of himself and Empress Zhou, Concubine Yuan, Concubine Tian, ​​and Wanyan Yuzhuo being sent to the execution ground together and then being cut into pieces by thousands of knives.

Or will a new emperor give himself a Marquis of Peace after destroying all this?

Will you give yourself the title of Emperor Xian in the future?

The chilling Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and threw this terrible idea out of his mind.

Go to the lord of the underworld, I want to carry out feudal dictatorship to the end. Who dares to fight against me? The Jinyiwei and the factory guards will settle them!

Even the factory guards are not enough to settle them. There are new troops, Beijing camps, and nobles standing on their own side.

In short, there is no problem with the revolution, but the industrial revolution must be carried out smoothly under my control, and I must also get enough benefits.

If you want to act like the Western barbarians, don’t even think about it!

We must strive for the construction of a feudal society with Ming characteristics for life!

After shook his head again and threw all these troubles out of his mind, Emperor Chongzhen slowly paced back to where Xu Guangqi was.

At this time, Xu Guangqi had already awakened from his thoughts. When Emperor Chongzhen came back, Xu Guangqi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it should be feasible if you want to apply the steam engine to the ship.

However, the current hull is not suitable for using steam engines, but needs to be modified before it can be installed.

In addition, it is hard to say whether the original shipped pulp, sailor, etc. still need to be retained.

However, I think that we can first slowly test the boat sailing on the lake, and then gradually improve on the lucky boat."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and replied: "I can only think about these things. How to do them specifically has to be presided over by Xu Aiqing or a master of the Mo family."

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen asked with a smile again: "By the way, where is Mo Ye, the great Mo family man? I have been here twice, but I haven't seen him."

Xu Guangqi smiled and said, "Qi reported to Your Majesty, Mo Ye, a great master of the Mo family, came here with his descendants, and he did contribute a lot to the country.

But they are obsessed with these physical methods every day, and they always don’t leave the room. It’s really hard to see them.”

Emperor Chongzhen sighed: "Only by being proficient in one's proficiency can one show excellence. No wonder the descendants of the Mohist family have many physical and physical aspects, and this concentration is very comparable to those of others."

Xu Guangqi nodded and said in admiration: "Your Majesty said very well. He is diligent and wasteful in his play. He devotes all his time to studying. Even if the Mohist skills are not good, it is difficult to not be good."

After a smile, Emperor Chongzhen said, "However, these people are all treasures, and they cannot work hard every day. When they are idle, Xu Aiqing can take them out for a trip. I will order the Jinyiwei to secretly protect him."

After smiling and thanking him, Xu Guangqi sent Emperor Chongzhen out of the Royal Academy.

After just taking two steps, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly ordered: "There is another thing that Xu Aiqing needs to pay attention to."

Xu Guangqi said curiously: "Please give me instructions."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "What is the current state of the steam engine? Xu Aiqing is more clear than me.

However, it must not flow into the people without my will.”

Xu Guangqi said curiously: "I am stupid, I hope Your Majesty will make it clear."

He looked up at the sky and found that there was no strange phenomenon in the sky. The sun hanging in the middle was still so exciting. Emperor Chongzhen, who was a little disappointed, said: "Think about it, this steam engine requires coal, and manpower can save a lot.

I am a huge number of people in the Ming Dynasty. What will happen if many people lose their life plan to live?"

After Emperor Chongzhen said this, Xu Guangqi also reacted.

The steam engine can be used on the locomotive, and naturally it can be used on the carriage. If you hang a steam engine on the carriage and then use it to cultivate the land, how efficient is Xu Guangqiguang can think of it with his toes.

And after having such things, which big landlord still needs a tenant farmer to cultivate the land for him?

When tenants have no land to plant, they will become refugees.

How many refugees in Shaanxi were caused by drought before? The consequences were already so tragic.

How many people were there in the Ming Dynasty? How many refugees would they produce? What a tragic scene would they cause?

Not to mention that Emperor Chongzhen was shivering just now, even Xu Guangqi couldn't help but tremble.

After making up his mind, Xu Guangqi bowed and said, "Don't worry, your Majesty, this thing will not flow out of the Royal Academy to the people, otherwise I would like to come and see you."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and sighed: "In a short period of time, it can only be used for trains, ships, and muskets.

In my opinion, there is no possibility of this thing being promoted within ten or even twenty years.

Or, the price is too tragic, I cannot afford it in the Ming Dynasty, and no one in the world can afford it."

The benefits of the industrial progress and technological development brought about by the first industrial revolution are very obvious.

But the consequences are also obvious.

After a large number of people are unemployed and lose their jobs to make a living, apart from riots or rebellion, there is basically no second way to go.

It is simply incalculable how much population and social wealth will be lost in the middle.

Even if the loss is made up for it through the increased population and wealth, where can the damaged vitality be replenished?

Just like in the end of the Sui Dynasty, how many casualties were there under the smoke and dust of the 18th rebel kings? How much wealth evaporated invisible?

So much so that the Tang Dynasty used several generations of emperors but failed to restore the grand occasion before the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Not to mention the Ming Dynasty today.

As long as the first industrial revolution begins now, the chaos in the world is basically certain.

At that time, Emperor Chongzhen would not have a second way to go besides killing people, except for killing them to kill them.

As for outward expansion, does it have any capital now?

The discovery of Xinming Island was a blessing, and we could not place everything on God's preference.

People always have to rely on themselves.

As for the countless time traveler training materials that Emperor Chongzhen had read before time travel, I felt quite excited when I read them, but after time traveling, I realized that it was not the case at all.

Especially after becoming the emperor, what I must consider is the stability of the entire Ming Dynasty, rather than how to quickly promote the world from scratch.

When killing people, especially corrupt officials, Emperor Chongzhen had no psychological pressure at all, but the world was in chaos because of his own reasons. Unless he was really heartless, the pressure in his heart was really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Especially when this so-called first industrial revolution can be carried out in a smooth manner through artificial control, it will be so tragic that it will be water in your head.

And it is so watery that you can raise fish.
