Steel Dynasty - Chapter 912

[Chapter 910 Improving the Industrial System]

A gentle breeze blew into the imperial study, and the matter between Song Changping and Su Liangcai was resolved. Xiao Ming looked at Lin Wentao.

Whether it is steam engine power or electricity, changes in energy are part of the industrial revolution, and machinery that is upgraded with energy is another part.

He said to Lin Wentao: “The time for the thermal power plant to be put into use is running out. Now you have to find ways to transform the machinery so that future machinery can use electricity smoothly, especially various types of lathes. However, the production of steam engines does not need to be stopped. After all, The construction cost of thermal power plants is high and cannot be promoted in Chongqing in a short period of time. Relatively speaking, steam engines spread faster and only require coal. “

Although the emergence of electricity made Xiao Ming very excited, he said. Understand that it is not time to abandon steam engines. After all, even in the electric age, steam engines still account for a large proportion in all walks of life.

And it was precisely after the industrial revolution represented by the steam engine was completed that the second industrial revolution represented by electricity could be successfully implemented. Otherwise, there would be no way to produce the equipment needed for thermal power plants.

At this point, Xiao Ming is very calm. Nowadays, the only heavily industrialized area in the Chongqing Kingdom is Qingzhou Prefecture, and many other areas are still blank. This industrial capacity can only satisfy the use of Qingzhou Prefecture.

If you want to carry out the industrial revolution nationwide, you must continue to expand the industrial area. Therefore, the only thing that can get rid of thermal power plants and put into production alone is the steam engine.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Lin Wentao bowed and accepted the order.

Xiao Ming nodded, and he handed a thick book to Lin Wentao, “This is the type of electric machinery I listed. It has detailed structural diagrams and required materials and manufacturing processes. Take it back. , Just invest in the research as above.”

Lin Wentao was excited. Sometimes he had to admit that his abilities were limited, but to him, the emperor’s abilities in front of him seemed unlimited.

If he develops it from scratch, it will probably take more than ten years, but with these guidance, he can copy what is on the drawing in a very short time.

In fact, Qingzhou Prefecture has been following this path in recent years.

After making arrangements for the electrical machinery, Xiao Ming asked the three of them to leave. Then he got up and left the imperial study with Qian Dafu and walked towards the cabinet.

Now that the north and the south have been unified, the government affairs of Great Chongqing have suddenly doubled, and the cabinet has become extremely busy, but this busyness is both painful and happy for the officials.

Because they have never managed a country with such territory.

“Your Majesty.”

When they arrived at the cabinet, Pang Yukun came up to him. Xiao Ming asked, “How is the division of administrative regions now?”

Pang Yukun has been very busy these two days, just for this matter. After the reunification, the country of Chongqing will once again Reform government affairs to adapt to the management of the country.

“Xiaguan has drawn up thirty-one prefectures, each with a capital, which is the administrative center of the prefecture and governs the prefectures, counties, towns and villages within the prefecture.” Pang Yukun said.

Xiao Ming noticed the map Pang Yukun was marking at this time and nodded. In fact, this division was authorized by him. These thirty-one prefectures are basically the same contemporary provincial jurisdiction areas.

The prefecture here is equivalent to a province, the state is equivalent to a contemporary city, and the capital of each prefecture is equivalent to the provincial capital. The biggest change is that he also included towns and villages into the management system.

This is the focus of this change. From now on, the court will directly manage towns and villages, instead of leaving it to the gentry and wealthy families to control the grassroots.

“Well, it’s basically the same as my idea. By the way, this place in Guangzhou needs to be marked. This is an industrial and commercial district that needs to be developed as a priority.” Xiao Ming said.

After the administrative system was finalized, he then set about realizing the overall industrialization of the Great Yu Kingdom.

The industries concentrated in Qingzhou wanted to go out to other prefectures. To this end, he asked all prefectures to launch preferential policies to attract businessmen to build factories and encourage people to invest in industrial and commercial construction.

In order to lead the West in overall industrial capacity, he wants to radiate industrialization throughout the country with Qingzhou Prefecture as the center in the future.

While the two were talking, Yang Chengye came over. After entering the cabinet, the main thing he was responsible for was industry and commerce. It can be said that he had a heavy responsibility.

Before Guangzhou, there were already industrial and commercial districts with Lin’an, Jinling and Songjiang as the core, Guandong Industrial and Commercial District with Jinzhou as the core, and Qingzhou Prefecture as the core industrial and commercial district. ,

plus Guangzhou, they now have four key industrial and commercial areas to support. If these four areas are all developed, Great Chongqing will establish a coastal industrial belt from north to south.

“Relying on the transportation capacity of ships, these four industrial zones will be perfectly established.” Yang Chengye fully agreed with Xiao Ming’s plan.

If you want to develop industry and commerce, these resources are the first priority, and resources need to be transported. The north and south of Dayu are separated by a Yangtze River. The railway is currently impassable. Only sea transportation can ensure the development of industry.

This is also the reason why he will build industrial zones along the coast. In addition, as industrial capabilities increase, the industrial products of the Great Yu Kingdom also need to be sold to the world through maritime trade.

These coastal areas have natural advantages.

“But even so, industrial development still has a long way to go. By the way, have you read the industrial system book I gave you?” Xiao Ming asked Yang Chengye.

The real purpose of coming here this time was to find him.

“Back to the emperor, I have seen all of them, including those that are owned by Dayu and those that are not, and I am also working on improving the industrial system of Dayu.” Yang Chengye said.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly. Entering the electric age, he could try to build a comprehensive industrial system.

At present, Dayu is too far away from this goal, and there are still many industrial branches that have not been established. In order to solve this problem, he specially recorded the complete industrial system form from the technology crystal and taught it to Yang Chengye.

From now on, the country of Chongqing will gradually establish a complete industrial system with thousands of industrial categories, ranging from a screw to a battleship. Once it encounters a war in the future, the industry of the country of Chongqing must be able to ensure that all external forces are cut off. All industrial products can also be produced when connected.

Of course, this table only lists the industrial categories that can currently be realized. He did not write down the technologies that he has not yet mastered. Instead, he compiled a one-step science and technology development plan for Qingzhou University to realize step by step.

With development to the present, Qingzhou University has become the academic and scientific research center of Great Chongqing, and the endless stream of talents have gradually divided into more detailed categories.

They will help Great Yu continue to achieve technological leaps.

“Very good, don’t ask about other things. Concentrate on industry and commerce, and you must perform your duties. Although the merchants’ council has been destroyed, the Great Yu Kingdom will face more powerful enemies in the future, and we will not be allowed to have any A little slack.” Xiao Ming said loudly, looking towards the north, where there were the Japanese countries, Tsarist Russia, and the Golden Horde that had surrendered to Tsarist Russia.
