One second of genius remembers, to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

Bowen Academy is in a special joy because of the birth of the duplex steam engine.

And then Xiao Ming's collective award to the School of Physics ignited the enthusiasm of the students. The whole academy was as lively as the New Year, and there were discussions about the compound steam engine everywhere.

Of course, Xiao Ming was the happiest person in this incident. After coming out of Bowen College, he returned to the palace with a smile, because an industrial era change was about to take place in Qingzhou.

"What happy event makes Your Highness so happy?" Fei Yue'er asked with a smile when she returned to the palace. Although she didn't know why, seeing Xiao Ming so happy, she also laughed.

Xiao Ming said: "I'm afraid the princess doesn't understand what this steam engine is. Come, this king will tell you about this steam engine."

So Xiao Ming told the story about the steam engine developed by Bowen Academy, and used the technology spar to conduct a popular science on Fei Yue'er. After his detailed explanation, Fei Yue'er gradually understood.

"If it really is what His Highness said, this steam engine is simply too important to Qingzhou and even the country of Da Yu. One steam engine can replace hundreds of people, which is terrible." Fei Yue'er exclaimed.

Xiao Ming nodded: "That's the truth. The population of the fief is small. Now that with the steam engine, one person can take care of the machine to hold a hundred people, especially the textile industry is about to undergo earth-shaking changes."

Fei Yue'er became more interested, and she asked: "Your Highness, what does this have to do with the textile industry?"

"Because there is a kind of textile machine that can only play a real role through a steam engine." Xiao Ming said.

After the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the steam engine was first used in the textile industry, so he felt it was time to introduce the Jenny machine.

With the addition of steam engines and Jenny engines, Qingzhou’s textile industry will undergo earth-shaking changes driven by these two machinery.

Since ancient times, male workers and female weavers in Dayu State, speaking of this weaving, Fei Yue'er has become more energetic. She said: "The new type of textile machine made by your Royal Highness for Qingzhou is already very powerful. Is there any more powerful textile machine?"

"Of course there is. This is a spinning machine that uses flying shuttles. This spinning machine is also a multi-spindle spinning machine with eight spindles. It can not only spin cotton, but also spin wool and hemp." Xiao Ming Said.

Fei Yueer was a little surprised when she heard this, "Can you still spin wool and linen?"

Xiao Ming nodded, "This is only the most basic. After improvement, this textile machine can have up to forty spindles. Imagine a steam engine controlling a steam engine with forty spindles around the clock. This can spin How much cloth is out?"

Fei Yue'er thought for a while, with shock in her eyes. She looked at Xiao Ming and said, "His Royal Highness, if this is the case, how will the folks sell cloth in the future? The cost of the cloth they weave is so high that they can’t compete with us. Compared with the cloth, this may cause dissatisfaction among the people."

Fei Yue'er's reminder made Xiao Ming frowned.

He can clearly remember that the Jenny Textile Machine was smashed by the citizens who lost their jobs because of terror, because the Jenny Textile Machine severely damaged the self-sufficiency economy.

Now Xiao Ming is also facing this kind of problem, but he knows that the wheel of history cannot be stopped because of temporary incomprehension, so he said, "Even so, the textile industry must change. They don't understand it now, but they will soon Will understand."

Fei Yue'er nodded worriedly.

Seeing that Xiao Ming was lost in thought, Fei Yueer sensibly stopped talking and went back to the bedroom.

After sighing, Xiao Ming rubbed his brows. The appearance of the steam engine really made him happy, but Fei Yue'er's inadvertent reminder really made him a little painful.

Now the whole country of Da Yu is self-sufficient for small farmers. Women weave and sell, and men farm and herd cattle.

The appearance of the steam engine means that he can transfer Qingzhou into an industrial society at any time, but such drastic changes can easily cause chaos. If he really let go, then capital will inevitably promote his fiefdom and capital society and urbanization. change.

He cannot be sure what such drastic changes will cause? And he couldn't bear the chaos caused by this change.

After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Ming suddenly decided not to open the steam engine to merchants for the time being. This is the safest method currently.

Great Yu Kingdom is different from Britain before the Industrial Revolution. The country is free. Here, the land is the lifeblood of the common people and cannot be moved for the time being. Moreover, the people’s wisdom of the fief also made it impossible for the common people to understand what industrial change is.

Therefore, he temporarily prepared to let the government build a steam engine workshop to avoid this change from happening too drastically. After the people accepted the steam engine and the factory, the people realized that working in the factory can also live, and he gradually opened the steam engine. To the businessman.

Moreover, he can keep the secret of the steam engine for a longer period of time to avoid premature spying on this secret.

After thinking about this, Xiao Ming let out a sigh of relief. It is not easy to be a vassal prince. You must be cautious about any changes. He is still relying on the people and cannot change his position and stand behind the businessman.

After he gradually popularizes industrial knowledge, he believes that the near-term industrial change will be able to make a soft landing.

He was thinking. At this time, the servant came to report and said: "Song Changping from the Military Workshop of His Royal Highness is here, and he said to send a rifled gun to His Highness."

"Rifled gun?" Xiao Ming was startled.

He went to Dengzhou here. Qingzhou’s science and technology really exploded~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Not to mention that the dual steam engine came out, but now even the connected muskets have come out, as he expected, with the knowledge With her proficiency, she is heading toward the technological explosion.

"Let him in." Xiao Ming said excitedly. He wanted to know how Song Changping produced a rifled gun.

Soon Song Changping walked in, holding a flintlock in his hand, and when he reached Xiao Ming, he said: "His Royal Highness, this is a new type of gun in the military workshop, a rifled gun, which is produced by imitating the books given by His Highness."

Xiao Ming took the flintlock rifle and looked into the barrel. It was not a spiral rifle, but a slanted rifle. The density of these rifles was very high, and at first glance they looked similar to the standard spiral rifle.

After seeing this rifling, Xiao Ming was already thinking about it. He said, "To be honest, how long have you been pulling this flintlock with the hook knife."

Song Changping was startled, and suddenly smiled bitterly. He said to Xiao Ming: "His Royal Highness can't hide anything. This flintlock was indeed pulled with a hook knife. The officer took several days to hold a qualified one. Rifling guns, but despite this, this rifling gun is also very laborious to load bullets, and can only reach one-third the speed of a musket."
