Chapter 327: Stepping up power production, Xun Yu’s worries
It's been a long time since Xiyu last asked people from the Academy of Sciences to start researching electricity, and I don't know how they did it.
After talking to Zhuge Liang, Xi Yu headed to the Academy of Sciences, preparing to study this electricity with the people at the Academy.
Zhuge Liang looked at Xi Yu's retreating back, shook his head slightly and sighed softly.
"It turns out that the lord already knows everything."
After muttering to himself, Zhuge Liang shook his head and went to find Xun Yu. After all, all subsequent matters related to Jingzhou would have to be discussed with Xi Yu.
In the hall of Tiangong Academy, as soon as Xi Yu came in, he directly ordered people to summon all the people in charge of the Academy of Sciences.
Including Lu Su, who was also called over by Xi Yu. The main purpose of calling Lu Su over was to let him get acquainted with the people from the Academy of Sciences.
In fact, after making arrangements for all his relatives yesterday, Lu Su came over at night to meet some people from the Academy of Sciences.
When everyone was due, Xi Yu sat on the main seat and introduced Lu Su's status in the Academy of Sciences to everyone.
"Everyone, Lu Su and Lu Zijing, I think we all know each other more or less. From now on, Lu Zijing will be in charge of the Merchant Court. You all will also cooperate with the Merchant Court in the future, so let's fight each other first.
call."
After Xi Yu finished speaking, everyone nodded. In fact, Lu Su was already famous all over the world when he was in Jiangdong. In addition, Lu Su met many people when he came to the Academy of Sciences yesterday, so most of the people present
They all knew Lu Su.
After everyone exchanged business boasts, Xiyu waved his hands and said slowly:
"Nowadays, Zijing is responsible for everything like the Xuyin brand of the Academy of Sciences. Whether it is fine iron or agricultural machinery built by the Academy of Sciences, they all have to go through the Merchants' Institute and then be sold by Drama Heavy Industries. This includes the construction of housing equipment.
It also needs to be approved by the Merchant Court, and the Merchant Court will set up a theater construction company to undertake the construction, including some drugs developed by the medical hall, and some drugs that can be promoted can be handed over.
Give it to Xijia Pharmaceutical and let them promote it in famous generals. In short, except for things like salt and iron wine that must be controlled by the court, other simple things that can be sold can be sold, and even some
Even technologies that are not very important can be sold, but please remember, this standard must be in our hands, and everyone who buys it must follow our standards as an actor."
Looking at the people below, Xi Yu also told everyone his plan, so as to prevent Lu Su from not giving it to them when he asked for something, and the two sides fighting again.
Anyway, everyone is here today, so Xi Yu doesn’t have to go find them one by one, and Lu Su doesn’t have to go to beg his grandfather and sue his grandma one by one.
In fact, what Xi Yu is thinking about is very grand, very grand. At least in this era, this thing is a very grand thing.
And this is not something that can be accomplished by one person overnight. This is something that requires many people and many periods of time to accomplish.
But Xi Yu is the lord after all, and the lord only needs to set goals, and the rest of the details are the work of those under him.
After listening to what Xi Yu said, everyone present nodded. The idea of the Lord can be said to be very grand, and the thinking is also very sophisticated. It can be said that it has completely surpassed this era.
As expected of an actor, Lu Su's eyes were full of deep admiration as he was able to bring them things that shocked their outlook every time.
Xi Yu actually knew very well in his heart that what he was talking about now were just basic concepts of market economics, which are very common in modern society. However, if this thing is put down to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, then this thing is
Very novel.
Moreover, the concept of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce has existed in this society for nearly a hundred years. Even though Xi Yu repeatedly emphasized the concept of equality between scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the centuries-old concept in people's minds still cannot be easily eliminated.
Nowadays, the agricultural reform has been successful, and the iron tools researched by the Craftsman Institute have also made great progress. According to the current speed, the Craftsman Institute will be able to research steel soon.
If steel is researched, the productivity of agriculture will be greatly improved in the future. A farmer will not only be able to feed himself, but also many people by farming.
After farmers eradicate the surplus grain, the remaining grain can feed the rest of the people who do not have land to farm, and by then the population of the entire society will also increase.
Sufficient population and sufficient food means that the basic conditions for the development of the industrial revolution are met. The population is used to establish the prototype of the industrial revolution, and then the human achievements established by the industrial revolution are indirectly fed back to the production of farmers, increasing food production.
output, and further industrialization will come ahead of schedule.
Population is the most basic requirement for the advancement of all conditions, and this is also the path Xi Yu is preparing to take to develop the zone after unification.
The reason why we cherish the population and release the slaves kept by the wealthy gentry at all costs is to release the population.
Even so, Xi Yu was still worried that the population might not be enough by then, so he decided to go directly to the surrounding barbarians to plunder the population when the population was not enough.
Looking at everyone present, Xi Yu glanced around and slowly asked:
"Do you still have any doubts?"
Everyone present looked at each other, shook their heads and then nodded. In fact, they couldn't be blamed for this, after all, what Xi Yu said was too difficult for them to understand.
With a slight sigh, Xi Yu also knew that everyone might not be able to accept this matter, so he stopped asking and let them think about it by themselves. After he figured it out, if there are still any questions, then
You can ask yourself.
After exchanging a few words with each other, Xi Yu turned his attention to Pu Feng.
"What's the problem with the electricity problem I talked about last time?"
As for electricity, Xi Yu naturally knew that this thing could only be developed during the second industrial revolution. Now that the Academy of Sciences has not even succeeded in the first industrial revolution, it is true that they are asked to develop the second industrial revolution.
It's a bit excessive.
But after all, this has been said. If they don't do it, the people at the Academy of Sciences are likely to think that Xi Yu doesn't believe them, that their abilities are too poor, and that they can easily cause some bad things.
"The design institute produced the drawings, but this thing is really difficult to do. The production is often not very precise, which is why this matter has not been successful yet."
Meeting Xi Yu's eyes, Pu Feng's face was filled with an expression of extreme shame.
Xiyu nodded slightly when he heard what Pu Feng said. It seemed that this thing was really not easy to work with. After thinking for a moment, Xiyu was ready to focus on the power project himself.
"Nothing, I will personally oversee this project now. The Design Institute will study it later and refine the drawings. Later I will tell the Design Institute how the drawings of the steam engine should be made, and then the Craftsman Institute will issue them.
Some people made the steam engine."
After thinking for a moment, Xiyu looked at the people in Tiangongyuan and said:
"Later, people from the Tiangong Institute will work hard to find a material called tungsten and make it into silk threads. People from the Medical Center will prepare some supplements and give them to the staff of each hospital."
Nodding slightly, Xi Yu also told everyone some details, and by the time he finished speaking, it was already approaching dusk when everyone left the Academy of Sciences.
After leaving the Academy of Sciences, Xi Yu also went directly to Xun Yu. Although he had already told Zhuge Liang about the events in Jingzhou, there were some things that he still had to discuss with Xun Yu.
When he entered Xun Yu's room, Xun Yu was busy writing and did not realize that someone had entered his room.
"What's wrong, Wen Ruo."
It wasn't until Xi Yu stood beside him and patted his shoulder gently that Xun Yu discovered Xi Yu.
"My lord, forgive me."
Seeing Xi Yu's arrival, Xun Yu quickly stood up and apologized. Xi Yu waved his hand gently, and Xun Yu brought the personnel transfer he had just written next to him in front of Xi Yu.
"Master Xi, this is the list of official-level subordinates in Jingzhou. Kong Ming has communicated with me about the matter in Jingzhou. These are the people we have chosen through mutual communication. Please take a look at it."
After receiving the personnel transfer letter from Xun Yu, Xi Yu glanced at it casually and handed it to Xun Yu.
"Very good, you can just look at these details for yourselves. I came to you today not for these things, but for other things."
While talking, Xiyu waved his hand for Xun Yu to sit down, and he also sat next to Xun Yu.
After hearing that Xi Yu said that he had other important things to ask of him, Xun Yu sat up straight and stared at Xi Yu, waiting for him to ask him to arrange the task.
"Hahaha, if Wen doesn't have to be so nervous, just relax a little bit."
Seeing Xun Yu looking so nervous, Xi Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Wen Ruo, now that Jingzhou has been captured, the affairs of Jiaozhou have been handed over to Wu Hou. Shixie of Jiaozhou has no enterprising spirit at all. It will not be difficult for Wu Hou to deal with him. Once Jiaozhou is obtained,
I already have six of the thirteen states in the world in my hands, and I want to conquer the remaining Youzhou personally, what does Wen Ruo think?"
When he heard that Xi Yu actually wanted to conquer Youzhou himself, Xun Yu was immediately shocked and stood up to stop him.
"You can't be a dramatist. Your status as a dramatist is no longer what it used to be. How can you, with a rich body, conquer at will? Now that General Zilong is training troops in Qingzhou, he can be the commander-in-chief to conquer Youzhou. You must not take this risk yourself, my lord!"
"
Seeing Xun Yu like this, Xi Yu was also startled, and then burst out laughing.
"Hahaha, why should Wen Ruo be so nervous? It's not like I have never fought in a war or fought in person. What are the risks of this personal expedition?"
Although Xi Yu said this, Xun Yu looked at Xi Yu with a serious face and continued.
"Although my lord was once among the armies in person, at that time my lord was actually one of the counselors and generals under Cao Gong's account. If there was any loss, it would not harm the world. However, now that the lord has a noble status, if there is any loss, the great man will be destroyed."
The people of the Han Dynasty will not be able to endure the chaos of war again."
The way Xun Yu spoke and his attitude were very clear. Do you want to go to Xi Yu to fight in person? Impossible! Don’t even think about it!
Looking at Xun Yu's appearance, Xi Yu coughed dryly but still refused to give up and continued:
"Of course I understand what Wen Ruo said, but I just wanted to see what Wuhuan Xianbei is like now, and I have already made up my mind. This time I came to ask Wen Ruo about you and me.
What's wrong with going to Youzhou?"
Although Xi Yu told Xun Yu that he just wanted to see the current situation of Wuhuan Xianbei and see if the wool of the sheep they raised was growing, but in fact Xi Yu wanted to harvest a wave of foreign people.
Looking at Xi Yu's expression, Xun Yu understood that this time his lord was determined to go to Youzhou by himself, and he also knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, he would not be able to persuade him.
After sighing softly, Xun Yu said slowly:
"The land of Youzhou was originally the territory of Duke Cao of the Han Dynasty. If the emperor does not take it back, it will definitely be harmed by him in the future. Besides, where in the world today is not my territory of the Han Dynasty? Who dares to own it privately?
The territory of my Han Dynasty?"
After listening to what Xun Yu said, Xi Yu also smiled and nodded.
"With Wen Ruo's words, I feel relieved when I go to Youzhou this time. Before I go on the expedition, I will let the Confucian scholars from Taiyuan College do something."
At this moment, Xi Yu was already ready to take possession of the territory of Youzhou and bully Cao Pi.
After saying that, Xun Yu nodded slightly, but then his eyes showed a hint of worry.
"This Youzhou is now in the lord's pocket, so there is no need to worry. However, is there something wrong with the lord entrusting the collection of Jiaozhou to the Marquis of Wu? I remember that Governor Zhou Yu seems to be stationed in Jingzhou now.
generation."
Listening to what Xun Yu said, Xi Yu naturally knew that he was worried that if Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, who held military power, rebelled together, then Sun Ce would hold half of the country in the east of the Yangtze River, and Zhou Yu would hold a lot of military power in Jingzhou. If
When the two of them join forces, the situation may become a bit dangerous.
"This is another reason why I came to look for Wen Ruo. Now I have ordered Huang Xu to be the governor of Jingzhou, and ordered Zhou Yu to temporarily return to Jiangdong. If Liu Zhang takes advantage of the situation and leaves Sichuan, Zhou Yu's navy can also follow the waterway.
Support the generals all the way. Although there are not many famous people in Jiangdong now, Lu Su is also here.
Xiapi, Fengxiao also went to Jiangdong, but I think this is still not safe, so I want you to arrange some middle-level officials, arrange them into various places in Jiangdong, and use them to win over the gentry and wealthy families in Jiangdong, so
It means cutting off the Sun family’s foundation in Jiangdong so that they can’t rebel even if they want to.”
After listening to what Xi Yu said, Xun Yu also nodded frequently. Suddenly he remembered that the lord was not just a military commander before this, but he started out as a counselor at the beginning.
"This plan is very clever. This plan will directly eradicate all the foundations of the Ajinsun family in Jiangdong. My lord is really a man of God."
At the same time, Xun Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his lord understood everything, but he was a little pretentious.
"I have prepared the list of transfers to Jiangdong. It only takes three days to hand it over to the Lord for review and decision."
After pausing for a moment and thinking for a while, Xun Yu asked:
"This time our army conquered Xiangyang, but they failed to capture Liu Bei. This may be a disaster. Liu Bei is a man with great ambitions, and he is a member of the royal family. He was not captured this time and went to Sichuan. This may be a disaster.
It will bring trouble to the lord."
Hearing what Xun Yu said, Xi Yu couldn't help laughing. He originally thought that Xun Yu paused for so long because he wanted to say something scary.
But what he never expected was that this guy was actually talking about Liu Bei. He gently waved his hand and said with a nonchalant expression:
"There is no need to worry, Wen Ruo. Liu Bei is just a lost dog. When he was sitting in Jingzhou, we were not afraid of him. Now, what should we be afraid of when he enters Shu alone?"
Xi Yu has never taken Liu Bei seriously, and has never regarded him as his competitor.
"But the land of Shu, after all, is the land of Emperor Longxing, if it is Liu Bei."
Seeing that Xi Yu didn't take Liu Bei seriously, Xun Yu still frowned and wanted to persuade Xi Yu, but Xi Yu waved his hand and said:
"It's okay Wen Ruo, what Liu Bei did in Jingzhou has already completely destroyed the hearts of the people in Jingzhou, and the face of the Liu family has also been completely lost by Liu Bei.
Er Jing, what would happen even if he went to the Longxing Land of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty? He wouldn't be able to make any money out of it. Besides, isn't the Emperor of the Han Dynasty still in our hands? Mr. Xun Ling doesn't have to worry anymore."
After speaking, he patted Xun Yu's shoulder lightly, and then strode out of the small courtyard.
Xun Yu, on the other hand, sat there and stared blankly at Xi Yu's retreating figure. His words just now were obviously a test of Xi Yu, but I don't know what he was thinking. After all, these words were not a test.
What comes out.
If a genius mission like his, which has not happened for a hundred years, appears on today's big man, I really don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for the big man.
Half a month later, the affairs in Jingzhou were completed, and Jingzhou announced an amnesty. Qingzhou and Xuzhou urgently sent grain and grass supplies to Jingzhou. Countless people in the Jiangdong area were greatly benefited from it.
At the same time, Qingxu and other places have not seen weapons for many years. The people live a prosperous life, the food production is sufficient, the bandits and bandits have been wiped out, and the entire area is already a prosperous scene.
Chapter completed!
