Chapter 766

A trace of warm wind poured into the imperial study from the window.

Xiao Ming, playing with his pipe, frowned: "is Brandon really stupid or fake?"

With the painful memory of modern history, Xiao Ming is naturally very alert to opium, which is difficult to eradicate as long as he is addicted to it.

If Brandon only sent opium, which is now called "Wu Xiang" in the state of Dayu, he would still accept it. After all, it is also a kind of medicinal material, which can be used for anesthesia and analgesia.

But this Ya quite direct sent a big cigarette gun to come over, is he Juxin? Maybe Asian countries don't understand the harm of opium because of their low education level, but Europeans who have been dealing with opium for more than 100 years can't be unaware of it.

"It's really a needle hidden in a Mian Li, a knife hidden in a smile."

Xiao Ming sneers. If he doesn't come from modern times, he will be planted in Brandon's hands and live in bed forever.

However, considering the trend of this era, he is not sure. After all, many royal families in Asia like this thing at this time. Maybe Brandon is in his favor.

After shaking his head, Xiao Ming doesn't think about it any more. It's normal whether Brandon intends to or doesn't intend to. The communication between countries is just laughing on the surface and stabbing on the back.

And because he knew the harm of this black incense, he would not take it, but it provided him with a way to control Korea.

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

As far as he knows, the origin of this kind of black incense is basically in Ryukyu and Southeast Asia, and the only way to obtain this kind of thing is from these places.

And now he not only controlled Korea's maritime trade, but also cut off the possibility of Korea obtaining black incense from the land.

As long as the important ministers of Koryo are addicted, they must obtain it from the state of Dayu. At that time, some conditions will be easy to talk about.

Although this method is somewhat dishonorable, politics is often darker than this. Compared with the frequent massacres, his method has been very mild, and he only treats Korean officials who are not good at it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming thinks it is necessary to expand the cultivation of Wu Xiang in Ryukyu. After all, these things will be used as weapons against the West or as medicinal materials in the future.

At the same time, he will issue a ban in the state of Dayu to prohibit the people of Dayu from touching this thing.

With care in his heart, Xiao Ming picked up the pen at hand, which was made by the craftsman of the equipment department not long ago.

Generally speaking, this pen has the appearance of a modern pen. The only disadvantage is that it must be used with ink.

Because there was no rubber, the craftsman of the equipment department could not make straws, but even so, he was very satisfied.

In recent years, with the increase in the number of writing things, he felt that the brush could not meet his requirements in dealing with government affairs, which also affected him to turn the knowledge in his mind into books.

Now that he has a pen, his work efficiency will be much faster. After using it for a period of time, he plans to first promote pen writing in the government affairs system, and end the history of the rule of brush writing in Dayu. For him, this is also a point for Dayu to transform into pragmatism.

After writing down the ban, Xiao Ming stops writing and gets up.

Seeing this, Qian Dafu came in and said, "emperor, the carriage is ready. All the officials who came to Laiwu this time have arrived. It's time to start."

Xiao Ming nodded. He called a little eunuch and asked him to send the ban to Pang Yukun for implementation in the state of Dayu. Then he went out.

After the successful operation of the steam locomotive, the reform was pushed to a climax. The magical locomotive made the readers of Dayu realize that a drastic change is taking place.

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

Naturally, Xiao Ming can't sit down at this time. It's not easy for him to bring a big Chongqing country, which lags far behind the West in science and technology, to today.

But the success of the steam engine locomotive not only did not satisfy him, but also made him feel more urgent.

Although Jinzhang khanate, Koryo, Tubo and other feudal dynasties were the threats of Dayu, these countries were still in feudal society, so it was relatively easy to deal with them.

But it's not so easy to deal with the west, where ideas and technology are leaping in an all-round way. Because of this, he dare not relax.

This trip to Laiwu is just for the sake of steel, one of the most important resources of Chongqing.

The construction of Qingzhou Railway First extends two lines, the first is the line leading to Chang'an direction, on this line is a large open-pit coal mine.

These coal mines don't need complicated mining technology. The coal seams on the surface are enough to support the first industrial revolution.

The second route is going south to Laiwu for the large iron ore here.

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

When he went to Laiwu this time, his main purpose was to inspect the iron and steel workshop here. When he announced the reform, he was asked to set up Laiwu Iron and steel workshop there.In the future, the iron and steel industry in Chongqing will mainly rely on Laiwu Iron and steel workshop and Kaiping iron and steel workshop.

When he got to the door, Xiao Ming saw a carriage stop at the door.

Different from the two wheeled carriage of Dayu state, he specially asked the equipment department to produce this kind of four wheeled carriage, and the spring shock absorption was installed on the wheels.

He specially ordered the production of this carriage, which was also the first four wheeled carriage in the state of Dayu. His purpose was very clear, which was to make the people of Dayu familiar with the four wheeled thing.

At the same time, it is also to pave the way for the birth of cars. A country that only knows two wheels will not have the idea of producing four wheel cars.

On the carriage, Xiao Ming went south under the protection of the bodyguard. After four days of running, he and the mine and workshop officials arrived in Laiwu.

Different from Qingzhou, on the way to Laiwu, Xiao Ming's eyes were full of poor people. At this moment, he suddenly felt that it would be a very difficult task to govern such a country with a large population, like the West has always been rich. Therefore, he needed to occupy more resources in the world.

Just as he thought about it, his carriage gradually stopped. At this time, Xiao Ming came down from the carriage and saw an iron ore being mined. Next to the iron ore was Laiwu Iron and steel workshop.

"Emperor, this is 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. Now when he arrived at the mine, he suddenly had a long lost feeling of intimacy and talked a lot.

Xiao Ming is also in a good mood after seeing the hot mine. He goes to the busy mine and is ready to see how the steam engine is used in the mine.
