The great emperor of crossing

The helpless Zhang Liang could only say something that made Zhao Lie feel very comfortable at this time, but he knew that his current thoughts seemed to make Zhao Lie a little uncomfortable.

"Ministers, today's court meeting took a long time. Although I have unified everyone's thinking and told everyone how to do it, how should our empire develop? I think everyone is very hopeful now. Hear what I really think, right?"

After hearing these words, the ministers finally felt a sense of relief. Perhaps this is the real focus of today.

"My idea is very simple. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Airplanes will definitely not be able to do it in a short period of time. At the beginning of the establishment of the empire, the construction of official roads has already begun. In the future, these official roads will continue to grow." Continue to widen and become a real expressway, that is to say, any type of vehicle can run on this highway in the future, which can greatly save everyone's time and facilitate the transportation of goods."

This is Zhao Lie's first idea about roads, because he now hopes that his empire will start to have cars, so she brought up this concept first, but the current car is still a design draft that Zhao Lie didn't come up with. That's all, so what he has to do now is very simple, and that is to hurry up and build the road first.

"Of course, while this matter is being done, there is another thing that must be done as soon as possible, that is, everyone must hurry up to research the train. You should know the steam engine I mentioned earlier, right? This is the power of the train. In the future, a railway company dedicated to trains will be established to be responsible for railway repairs in the empire."

Now everyone is beginning to understand that the so-called infrastructure construction is to vigorously develop the transportation industry under the current situation, because the emperor's saying that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads really makes everyone feel very incisive.

"Your Majesty, how many years do you think it will take to complete all this?"

"The construction of the railway does not involve any restrictions, and I will not say when the railway will be completed. With our current industrial foundation, it will take at least five years to build the first railway, because we are now connected to all We don’t have the steel we need, and this is our biggest problem at this stage, a weak basic industry cannot drive the development of an empire.”

Zhang Yi's words brought Zhao Lie back to reality.

"Who does His Majesty plan to appoint as the chairman of the railway company?"

"Don't worry, since it will take five years to complete, then we can develop related industries first. For example, can the steel industry be developed first? Please rest assured, I can think of a way Let everyone do it quickly, we have a natural advantage, that is, the treasury is very abundant, and now that the central bank has appeared, I hope that the central bank can seize the time to bring the financial industry up!"

At this moment, Zhao Lie stood up again.

"In fact, the current industry is not as easy as everyone thinks. We need steel, so we must develop machine manufacturing at the same time, and we have nothing now. The tools you use now are still produced by blacksmiths, that is to say We need to make steel that really meets the needs of this situation. This requires the Academy of Sciences to find a way to conduct research. At least we can use the method of the Academy of Sciences to assemble the first steel machine that can be used. As long as we can design With the first real steel plant, the country can really be revitalized."

After saying this, he found that everyone's ideas had gradually merged. It seemed that everyone had their own ideas about steel.

"Your Majesty, we also hope to establish a steel factory as soon as possible, but we have too few existing ones. We can't put all the blacksmiths together to make steel, right?"

"Why not? Aren't they all technicians? Not only those who have learned from universities can be called technicians, as long as they can sum up a series of technologies in real life, they can also Be a technician."

Everyone now finally understands that the next task is to smelt steel.

"There is still half a year between now and the end of the year. I hope that in this half year, I can seize the time to build the steel plant. At the same time, the first batch of steel can be directly used for the relative construction of the country, such as mechanization of agriculture. Then There must be a guarantee of steel."

It seems that Zhao Lie has gradually become more pragmatic now, because he knows very well in his heart that a series of science and technology must be guaranteed.

"After the steel plant is established, the electric power industry and other industries must start at the same time, requiring the majority of farmers to actively participate in the construction of the country, so now the citizens are required to hurry up and have children, and it is best to have more. Children can form a certain labor force, of course, after the country's population reaches a certain number, the policy of restricting the population will be implemented."

In fact, there are only tens of millions of people in Tianhua Empire, which is not a good thing for such a huge empire.

"The next step is the military. In fact, our army is too large. If we can consider reducing half of the army and let these people directly become builders, will it reduce the burden on many people, because there are no military meritorious people in the current army?" It’s been explained, so it’s only an honor for everyone to continue to join the army, which requires the entire society to carry out corresponding publicity.”

"Your Majesty, I think you should also work on culture. If a country only has science and technology but no culture, it is also an unhealthy country."

Hu Shi couldn't bear it any longer at this time. As another Wenyuange bachelor, he always put education first, but he knew that if there is no certain culture, then education is also one-sided.

"You are very right. The empire must to a certain extent realize the practice of a hundred schools of thought contending. This requires everyone to unify some ideas and encourage everyone to create some real cultures, and they are all positive and can contribute to the country. Develop cultures of service.”

Zhao Lie spoke more and more vigorously, and the ministers present also listened more and more vigorously.

"So our first step now is to establish the steel company as soon as possible. I can recommend someone to you. This person is Zhang Zhidong. I hope he can become the chairman of Chang'an Iron and Steel Company."

Zhang Yi directly started to recommend talents at this time, because he knew that what he had to do at this stage was already very difficult.
