Chapter 1223

Since the unification of China, Zhang Yu has spent most of his time on construction.

After cultivation, the Empire was stable and prosperous.

A large amount of gold and silver are continuously imported from overseas every year.

A large amount of gold and silver was imported and the National Treasury was full.

After having money, Zhang Yu built roads when he needed to build roads, dug canals when he needed to dig canals, and built a large number of canals.

The whole empire is developing rapidly.

And Zhang Yu went to the Royal Academy of Sciences.

This college is close to the College of engineering. The difference is that this college does not teach students. It has set up some scientific research teams to study all kinds of science.

In the eyes of the ancients, these are all strange and lewd skills, but Zhang Yu is an eternal emperor, who personally promotes it and no one can stop it.

Zhang Yu promoted the development of science, and the Empire was rich. There was no case of wasting people's money, so no one opposed it.

Zhang Yu's real time in dealing with government affairs is very few. He only reads the memorial of the cabinet once in a few days or for a period of time. He spends most of his time in the college or the Academy of Sciences.

The academies of sciences are all basic sciences. In addition to studying various projects, Zhang Yu also concentrated talents in some disciplines in the academies of Sciences for academic research.

For example, physics, let people specialized in mechanics and other basic subjects.

For example, mathematics does not need a lot of experiments, but directly concentrates a group of people in Colleges and universities, and lets them teach students at the same time.

The science of the empire is soaring. Although most of it is useless, it doesn't matter. It will develop and promote the development of the Empire in the future.

The current cabinet is very efficient. Zhang Yu hardly needs to work too hard. He only needs to hold a cabinet meeting for a period of time, and if there are problems in the memorials they send, he will be prompted.

Zhang Yu has been in the capital for a long time. Finally, he is going to visit Beijing again. This time, he is going to Shanghai.

I chose Shanghai because the Beijing Shanghai Expressway finally opened.

It took more than two years to cement the whole road, and the highway cost a lot of money.

However, Zhang Yu is not afraid of spending money. He thinks the value of spending money. With this road, North and South will flow, not only goods, but also population.

The flow of people creates an economy.

With the rapid development of the Empire's various undertakings, Zhang Yu arrived in Shanghai, which has a population of more than 600000, and many businessmen also settled here.

Shanghai has gradually become one of the commercial centers.

As a matter of fact, besides Shanghai, there is also Chang'an, and Jingzhou is one of the centers of business.

It is not difficult to understand that the Central Plains region is still very prosperous.

Shanghai and Guangzhou can also develop rapidly relying on maritime trade.

For overseas, Zhang Yu has set up more and more fleets. At the same time, his shipyard has been researching and manufacturing larger and stronger ships.

There are often a large number of ships sailing around the world.

The ports along the coast are also very busy.

Now with Fusang, there are fixed routes, and there are ships every month.

This Fusang area, the southeast, has become an integral part of the Empire.

Zhang Yu slowly occupied many islands.

Cao ang is also well developed in South America. He has established several base cities and has a population of several hundred thousand.

With enough population, it will certainly develop in the future.

Later, Zhang Yu's fleet visited several times and had several trades.

Cao ang knew from the crew that Zhang Yu had unified China and made merchant ships spread all over the world.

Land was developed everywhere.

Zhang Yu carried out a very shameless slave trade, and all kinds of slaves were sold to China and other places.

These slaves were used to build roads in China.

With the improvement of technology, the cost of firing cement is reduced, and Zhangyu builds more cement roads.

His goal is to connect all the provinces, but it's very difficult.

The main reason is that in this era, we can't go through the cave directly. When we meet mountains, we can only make a detour. If we can't make a detour, we can only build a mountain road and cross the mountains directly.

It's even more difficult to meet big rivers. It took Zhang Yu a long time to build an iron bridge with a short span.

Today, the steel industry is also developing rapidly. Zhang Yu directly built several steel bridges in the Empire.

In fact, many places do not need it, but in order to improve the technology and develop the steel industry, Zhang Yu made many steel bridges.

Zhang Yu also created the company system, and let the Empire set up several companies.

Steel companies, shipping groups, etc. were established.

Zhang Yu's postal system can also be implemented in a certain area.

With the rapid development of the Empire, Zhang Yu's reputation is at its peak.

Zhang Yu began his plan to inspect the Empire.

He took some wives with him and planned to go around.

Zhang Yu plans to spend two years on the inspection of the whole empire.

When he arrived at a place, Zhang Yu lived in the government and met with officials from all over the country. In the end, Zhang Yu secretly made a private visit, leaving behind a lot of stories about the emperor's private visit.

No matter where Zhang Yu is, he always writes with him. He has published more than 1000 articles on his 100000 guesses, and there are several articles written by Zhang Yu in almost every issue of search magazine.

It took Zhang Yu two years to inspect the whole empire.

This time, the empire is still developing smoothly without him.

In fact, it is not without Zhang Yu that all the memorials of the cabinet will be sent to him regularly. Once there is something urgent, Zhang Yu can also receive the news quickly and make an order to deal with it.

It's not in vain for the Empire to spend so much money on roads.

In the past two years, Zhang Yu's previous plans were in progress.

The canals were basically dug, and the Empire devoted most of its energy to building roads.

"Two years later, I'm back in the capital."

After returning to the capital, Zhang Yu found that the capital has undergone tremendous changes, with more population and more prosperity.

Nowadays, cement roads have been built in some places around the capital, which are relatively close to each other.

The capital city is no better than other cities. Roads have priority.

Zhang Yu specially went to the Academy of Sciences to have a look. Now the Academy of Sciences has dozens of projects in research, and the steam engine is the most important.

"I'll wait to see your majesty."

Zhang Yu came to the Academy of Sciences and met with the researchers on the steam engine project.

"Sire, we have developed the steam engine, but it often breaks down, and the air tightness is poor. The cork can only be broken in a few days." The person in charge of the Academy of Sciences is embarrassed to say to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu gave them high salaries, official positions and a lot of money to study.

"Well, it's very good. As for cork, I've sent people overseas to look for it. There is a kind of cork in Southeast China that is very useful and has been sent to us. You should continue to improve it and start to study the use of steam engines."

"I want you to start to study the train. I want you to study it in about ten years. We need people to give people and money to give money."

Steam engine, train, railway, if these things are studied, they will change the world.

In addition, if the railway is developed, it will not be far away from ships.

But Zhang Yu understood that science should take its time. Now the productive forces have not developed to that level, and we must pay attention to the development of basic science.

Zhang Yu continued to devote himself to the research of basic science.

"I can start the steam age."

Zhang Yu knows that the prototype of the steam engine has been made. Given ten years to optimize, it will be practical. Zhang Yu himself has opened the steam era.
