Iron Dynasty

A ribbon of warm wind poured into the Imperial Study Room from outside the window. E novel www. ㄟ1XIAOSHUO. COM

He frowned Xiao Ming, who was playing with a pipe, and said, "Is this Brandon really stupid or fake?"

With the painful historical memory of modern times, Xiao Ming is naturally very wary of opium, as long as it becomes addictive, it is difficult to eradicate it.

If Brandon only sent opium, which is now the so-called "Wuxiang" in Dayu Country, he would still accept it. After all, this thing is also a kind of medicinal material, which can be used for anesthesia and pain relief.

But what is the intention of this girl who sent a big smoke gun directly? Perhaps Asian countries do not understand the dangers of opium smoking because of their low level of education, but Europeans who have been dealing with opium for more than 100 years cannot be unaware.

"Sure enough, the needle is hidden in the cotton, and the knife is hidden in the smile."

Xiao Ming sneered. If he wasn't from modern times, he would probably be planted in Brandon's hands, and he would spend his days lying in bed swallowing clouds and fog.

However, thinking of the trend of this era, he is a little uncertain. After all, many Asian royals like this thing at this time, and maybe Brandon is in his favor.

Shaking his head, Xiao Ming stopped thinking about it for the time being. Whether it was Brandon intentionally or unintentionally, this was normal. The exchanges between countries were originally just smiles on the surface and stabs in the back.

And because he knew the harm of this Wuxiang, he wouldn't take it, but this incident provided him with a way to control Goryeo.

Perhaps he can use casinos and opium to control officials in the Korean court, and even the king of Korea.

As far as he knows, the origin of this kind of Wuxiang is basically in Ryukyu and Southeast Asia, and you can only get this kind of things from these places.

And now he not only controls the sea trade of Goryeo, but also cut off the possibility of Goryeo getting Wuxiang from the ground.

As long as Goryeo's important ministers become addicted, they must be obtained from the country of Da Yu. At that time, some conditions were easy to negotiate.

Although this method is a bit disgraceful, but politics is often darker than this, than the start of the massacre. His method is already very gentle, and this is only for those Korean officials who are not good at first.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming felt that it was necessary to expand the cultivation of Wuxiang in Ryukyu, after all, whether these things will be used as weapons against the West in the future or as medicinal materials.

At the same time, he will issue a ban in the country, expressly prohibiting the people of the country from getting this thing.

With cares in his mind, Xiao Ming picked up the pen at hand, which was made by a craftsman in the Department of Apparatus that he explained not long ago.

In general, this fountain pen already has the appearance of a modern fountain pen. The only drawback is that it must be used with ink.

Because there is no rubber, the craftsmen of the Equipment Division cannot make straws, but even so, he is very satisfied.

In recent years, as the amount of writing has increased, he feels that the brush cannot meet his requirements when dealing with government affairs, and it also affects him to turn the knowledge in his mind into books.

Now that he has a pen, his work efficiency is much faster. After using it for a period of time, he plans to promote pen writing in the government system first, and end the history of brush writing dominating the country. For him, this is also a big deal. A point of Chongqing's transition to pragmatism.

After writing down the prohibition clauses eloquently, Xiao Ming stopped writing and got up.

Upon seeing this, Qian Dafu walked in and said: "The emperor, the carriage is ready, and all the officials who came to Laiwu this time have arrived. It's time to leave."

Xiao Ming nodded, he called a small **** to ask him to give the ban to Pang Yukun, ready to implement it in the country of Da Yu, and then walked out.

After the successful operation of the steam locomotive, the reform was promoted. The magical locomotive made the scholars of Da Yu country realize that a drastic change is taking place.

For those who have already participated in the reform, this is even more an incentive. The craftsmen of both the glass workshop and the steam engine workshop are enthusiastic.

Xiao Ming naturally couldn't sit down at this time. It is not easy for him to bring a great Yu country, which is largely backward in technology from the West.

But the success of the steam locomotive not only did not satisfy him, on the contrary, he felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

Although the feudal dynasties such as the Golden Horde, Goryeo, and Tubo are threats to the Great Yu, these countries are still in the feudal society after all, and it is relatively easy to deal with them.

But it is not so easy to deal with the West, which has made a full leap in thinking and technology. Because of this, he dare not relax.

He went to Laiwu this time just for one of the most important resources of Great Yu Country-steel.

The construction of Qingzhou Railway starts with two lines. The first is the route to Chang'an. On this route is a large open-pit coal mine.

These coal mines do not need complicated mining technology, and the coal seam on the surface is enough to support the first industrial revolution.

This second route is to go south to Laiwu, for the large iron mines here.

After these two routes, the railway will extend to other places.

During his trip to Laiwu, his main purpose was to inspect the steel mill here. When the reform was announced, he was asked to establish the Laiwu steel mill there.

In the future, the steel of Great Yu will mainly rely on Laiwu Steel Works and Kaiping Steel Works.

At the door, Xiao Ming saw a four-wheeled carriage parked at the door.

Different from the two-wheeled carriages of Da Yuguo, he deliberately asked the Equipment Division to produce this four-wheeled carriage, and installed spring shock absorbers on the wheels.

This carriage was specially ordered by him to be produced, and it was also the first four-wheeled carriage in Dayu. His purpose was very clear, which was to familiarize the people of Dayu with the things of four wheels.

At the same time, this is also to pave the way for the birth of cars~www.wuxiaspot.com~ A country that only knows two wheels will not have the idea of ​​producing four-wheel cars.

After getting on the carriage, Xiao Ming headed south under the protection of the guards. After four days of rushing around, he and officials from the chief mine and workshop arrived in Laiwu.

Different from Qingzhou, on the way to Laiwu, Xiao Ming was full of poor people. At this moment, he suddenly felt that it would be a difficult task to govern such a populous country like the West has always been prosperous. For this, he needs Occupy more resources in the world.

As he was thinking about it, his carriage gradually stopped. At this time, Xiao Ming got off the carriage and saw an iron ore that was being mined. Next to the iron ore was Laiwu Iron and Steel Works.

"The emperor, this is the Laiwu Iron and Steel Workshop. It is said that it will be put into production soon." Qian Dafu said with a smile.

Qian Dafu used to be in charge of the mine, but now he has a long-lost intimacy when he arrives at the mine, and he talks more.

Xiao Ming was in a good mood after seeing the hot mine. He walked to the busy mine, ready to see how the steam engine was used in the mine.
