Xixi River wind has a fishy smell of aquatic plants.
While enjoying the merchant ships coming and going on the Xiaoqing River, the three talked about steamships and steam engines.
Talking about the steamship and the steam engine, Lin Wentao suddenly remembered something. He said to Xiao Ming, "emperor, two days ago, a close friend of my lower official who was in Qingzhou university once approached me. He said that he was preparing to apply for the electric power test, but he couldn't do it because he didn't have enough copper wires and magnets."
"Power test." Xiao Ming frowned.
In order to promote the development of science and technology in dayukuo, Xiao Ming made great efforts, especially after the establishment of Qingzhou University. He promised that any student could apply for money to set up his own research laboratory and find cooperative students to carry out relevant research.
After the policy came out, it was very popular with the students. Soon, the imperial court received more than 30 applications for the establishment of research laboratories, and the amount of money applied by these students was not the same.
However, for Xiao Ming, the money can not be given indiscriminately. There are many cases of fraud in scientific research.
Maybe these students can fool the officials, but they can't fool him, so after the examination, he directly rejected more than 20 of them.
"It's the power test. After the emperor vetoed many research applications last time, many students were more cautious. My best friend came to discuss with me for fear that he would be vetoed by the emperor this time." Lin Wentao said.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming said: "what he said is true. Now copper wire is easy to find, but strong magnet is not easy to find. Fortunately, there are magnets in Qingzhou Prefecture. When the minerals department finds them, I will send them to him. I asked him to apply before."
In fact, the interval between the first industrial revolution and the second industrial revolution is not very long. The accumulation of the first industrial revolution made the second industrial revolution happen very quickly.
Now Dayu has entered the steam age, which has laid the foundation for the second industrial revolution. As the foundation of the second industry, electric power should be put on the agenda.
It took European countries a hundred years to popularize electricity through self exploration, but it didn't take him so long. After all, he mastered mature technology and could save a lot of detours.
"Yes, Emperor."
Lin Wentao is happy to say that he and his best friend have always cherished each other. While he was working on the steam engine, his best friend had been studying hard in the college, and now he is finally going to show his skills.
Xiao Ming was also in a good mood. He asked, "what's his name?"
"Su Liangcai."
Zhang Liang can't help laughing when he hears the words, "this person's name is interesting. I just hope he is really a good talent."
"Most of his friends are talented people. I believe in Lin Wentao's vision." Xiao Ming said.
After talking with them for a while, Xiao Ming and Qian Dafu return to Xingyuan. This time Su Liangcai's affair proves that the cause he buried is bearing fruit.
In addition to Lin Wentao, students from Qingzhou University who have made great achievements in their studies begin to come out and apply their knowledge to various industries.
A strong youth makes a strong country. Now more and more taxi drivers leave behind books of corrupt scholars and pick up books representing science. This is a proof that the state of Dayu is changing.
However, it is not enough for him now. He wants to make this change not only stay in Qingzhou, but also take part in it in order to speed up the process.
He has told us that Qingzhou university is going to build a big school. Every seven days, he will spare one day to teach in person in Qingzhou University.
For him, this is not only for imparting knowledge, but also for the scholars to see clearly the importance he attaches to the students, so that each of them can have the glory of the students of the emperor.
……
Yingzhou, a city in the northwest of Korea.
After the retreat of Liujing City, beshan did not rush back to Shengdu, but led his troops to the border town of Jinzhang Khanate.
"Here's the guest, Maggie." Guduo's voice sounded outside the room.
"Let them in," he said
When he left Liujing, he sent people to a Korean city occupied by Japanese.
Soon he got a reply. The British were about to return from Japan. Before they left, they could see him.
So the British directly piloted the warships to leave Japan and docked in the waters of Yingzhou to meet beshan.
After a while, Gu duo appeared outside the door with two blondes. Bei Shan was a little surprised. He had never seen such a person before, and his heart was shocked.
Along with the two Englishmen came four Japanese samurai, with swords hanging around their waists. It seemed that they came to protect them.
"Dear besandedge, I am count Kerry from England." There was a friendly look on Chris.
On this trip to Japan, he successfully met with Nobuta Yamada and reached an agreement in many aspects. He called this "Nagasaki agreement".
The contents of the agreement had been worked out before he came to Japan. From the date of signing the agreement, Britain will provide better quality guns, artillery and warships for Japan, and send military personnel to train Japanese soldiers.Moreover, Japan can send personnel to study in Britain, and Britain will help Japan establish an industrial system and provide steam engines.
In contrast, Japan opened its market to Britain, allowing British businessmen to do business in Japan, and the two countries have the obligation to jointly deal with the threats facing Asia.
Kerry was surprised to sign the agreement easily, but thanks to the rise of Dayu, because it made Japan feel threatened.
That's why Nobuta Yamada won't be able to do anything to sign this Treaty of friendship with them.
However, for Kerry, his task is far from complete, and the state of Dayu worries them too much. From his understanding, the emperor of Dayu is full of ambition.
He was very worried that this unusual emperor would continue to expand in Asia, and after the capture of the two Koryo cities, his worries were intensified.
It was for this reason that he insisted on coming to see this besandedge.
Although he knew that the grassland empire in the north of Dayu was more barbaric, the British were not afraid of barbaric tribes, only more civilized empire than them.
In order to curb the expansion of Dayu, he felt that it was necessary to create an encirclement in Asia, like a cage to trap Dayu, a lion about to wake up. At that time, even if this circle could not work, it would be enough to delay the rise of Dayu.
During this time, British industry will roll forward, leaving Dayu behind.
Therefore, no matter how it is done, it will be beneficial to the British Empire.
