Royal Gold Magistrate

"No, the steam engine is definitely not only applicable to trains, it can be applied to all the workshops of my Dajing, and most of the manpower will be replaced by it from now on."

"Textile factories, iron factories, mine development, and many handicraft workshops in the world, as long as a brand-new machine is designed to match the steam engine, it can replace manpower, and the efficiency will increase several times, ten times, or a hundred times!"

"Commodities and goods will explode in an unprecedented blowout! It is entirely possible for our Dajing goods to penetrate overseas markets all over the world at the lowest price and best quality in the future, and a large amount of gold, silver and raw materials will continue to flow flow into my great scene!"

"Everyone, please think about it, what kind of grand scene will this be in three or fifty years? What kind of era will this be..."

Following Fang Zhengyi's passionate speech, an incomparably magnificent historical grand picture gradually unfolded in front of everyone.

A needle could be heard under the seat, everyone's faces were red and their breathing was heavy, and there was fanaticism in their eyes.

That's right, what kind of era is this... If Fang Zheng's words come true, it will definitely be a picture that even a saint can't describe!

This technique is simply a fantasy like the magic of the fairy family, but it appears alive in front of your eyes.

Thinking of a sentence he often hangs on his lips, times have changed.

Now everyone can only feel that a huge wave sweeping the tide of history is coming towards them, and the sea breeze has arrived!

Times... may really be changing...

Taking advantage of the time when everyone was still immersed in fantasy, Fang Zheng began to pace slowly.

"I know that, despite the rosy outlook I'm talking about, you must be skeptical that large numbers of people will be replaced by this technology."

"If this wheel is installed on a carriage, can horses be used? Even if the horse saves effort, wouldn't the manpower be saved even more? If manpower is saved, the people will not slack off, and they will make trouble when they are idle. Warm thoughts and lust? When the machine is turned, people's hearts are not old."

All the emperor's officials woke up and looked up.

Indeed, if a large number of idlers are bred because steam engines replace manpower, wouldn't the country be in chaos?

Fangzheng shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't deny that Manpower will be released because of this. But I can guarantee with my life that there will definitely not be more hooligans in the big scene because of this."

"The process of building the railway and the associated industries will require far more manpower than farming, and the manpower released from the land will be firmly locked in factories and new jobs, just like They were locked in the land before, and that won't change in another 500 years!"

Seeing the officials sinking into deep thought, Fangzheng sighed inwardly, feeling a little tired all of a sudden.

This shocking invention of such a technology should have been actively embraced by all discerning people.

But because of some nonsensical reasons, he had to do everything possible to give a perfect reason to be accepted and promoted.

The Qing Dynasty in the previous life was like this. It was extremely difficult to build a railway. A considerable part of the reason was that this kind of technology was in the hands of foreigners, and another important reason was the strong opposition from the conservative faction of the entire imperial court.

Now that the steam engine is born in Dajing, there is one less problem, but the chronic disease of the human heart still needs his painstaking efforts to clear it.

Sometimes he would like to be like a male protagonist of Internet texts, and his body would startle, blinding everyone, and then the scumbags came to vote for unconditional trust.

It's a pity that I don't have a golden finger, so I just brought a slogan and a thick skin....

It seems that everything is going well for now, and the final word is only a matter of time!

Fang Zhengyi said affectionately: "Finally, I would like to thank the two most important people in my life in front of everyone. Without these two people, railways, trains, and even steam engines would never have come into existence."

"One of these is His Royal Highness the Prince. He lives in secret and reclusive, regardless of hardship and identity, and devotes himself to the development and design of the train. Julien's East Palace has been transformed into an experimental site."

"Not only that, because His Highness joined in person, it also inspired countless R&D personnel from the Royal Academy of Sciences and Eastern Suburb University. In their hearts, this is the encouragement of the imperial court and the support of the country, so they can greatly promote the progress of R&D!"

Li Yuanzhao couldn't help puffing up his chest, feeling a sense of mission in his heart when he heard Fang Zhengyi's enthusiasm before, and now he was praised alone.

Baiguan looked at Li Yuanzhao from surprise to admiration.

Emperor Jing was even more relieved, and patted his hand on the table.

Seeing that Li Yuanzhao received such great encouragement for the first time, he was almost on the verge of tears, Fang Zhengyi smiled knowingly.

Although the crown prince got off the hook a bit, he really put his heart and soul into the development of the train. He didn't brag too much. He deserved such a scene today.

Fangzheng licked his dry lips, took two deep breaths, and pointed his palm at Emperor Jing: "The second person I want to thank is Your Majesty."

"The prerequisite for the success of the steam engine is the support of Eastern Suburb University and the Royal Academy of Sciences. Without them, the research would never be successful, and if it is not for His Majesty, it is even more impossible to have these two institutions."

"Not only that! Your Majesty was the No.1 foundation layer at the beginning of the construction of the railway! Without His Majesty's participation, and without His Majesty's pressure ahead, the train would not have come out successfully!"

"Your Majesty's first shovel back then can be said to have created a new history! This situation..." Fangzheng paused, his lips trembling slightly, and trembled with an intoxicated expression on his face: "I just want to Say, Your Majesty... wise!"

After all, he swung out the phantom with both hands and began to applaud wildly.

When the officials saw it, they hurried to follow, and suddenly a sea of ​​applause appeared in the backyard...

Hearing the fiery applause, Emperor Jing was in a daze, and the knuckles of the palms holding the table turned white.

Chest heaving and unsteady, tears flickering faintly...

For a moment, he felt as if he was responsible for these earth-shattering things...

It's just that he is not too confused to see who is the real hero.

After the applause dissipated, Emperor Jing propped himself up slowly and walked to the steam engine with a heavy step.

Staring at the steam engine meaningfully, he stretched out his hand to caress the cold steel.

Then a hand was placed on Fang Zhengyi's shoulder, and a soft voice rang in his ear.

"Zhengyi, you worked hard..."

...

(Don't scold me, don't scold me, there is no water!)
