From a distance, several large and surprising ships stood on the dock not far from the harbor like a few monsters.

Each ship has five rows of tall mast sails, some small side sails, and tall chimneys are erected on these ships.

In fact, in recent years, the ships on the other side have become larger and larger, and many large magnolia boats with tonnage of 1,500 tons have appeared one after another. However, these ships are not as huge as the ships in front of you, and the style is also strange.

What do those chimneys do?

Zhang Bingcao explained: "Because the fleet was sent to explore the other shore two years ago, but when they went to the other shore, there were few islands to be used for supply, so since the previous year, some new ships were built and tested. They were several ships that were tested first, using pure steel keels to make the structure more stable, so the safe load capacity of the ship increased to between 40,000 and 50,000. As for those chimneys, they were a kind of machine to push the ship forward. This machine had to burn carbon, so these chimneys were used to discharge smoke."

"It's the new machine that the prince calls it."

"Well, it was actually developed very early, and countless money was burned. However, various problems arose one after another. It was not until the Shaobao came to find out that it was because of the poor sealing. In order to solve this sealing, after the fleet went to the other side two years ago, in addition to looking for some grain crops, they also deliberately looked for a kind of gum. In fact, no matter whether the Shaobao came back or not, these will be handed over to the court in the future."

In fact, the original steam engine in history is very simple, but Wang Ju can't remember it.

The steam engine he drew not only includes boilers, but also cylinders, connecting rods, rotating shafts, crankshafts, flywheels, gearboxes, speed regulators, and various valve stems. The complexity is far greater than that of Watt's improved steam engine.

Anyway, we cannot compare the process of the European industrial revolution, just like the steam engine technology has not been perfected yet, and we are already studying electricity here. Of course, when the electricity appears, we don’t know when it will be, and we don’t know how much money will be burned.

This exceeded Zhang Shangying's acceptable range and could only remain silent.

But he pointed to the sky again: "What is that?"

"That's for blast furnaces and iron smelting, Mr. Zhang. Don't worry, these technologies will be handed over to the court in the future."

"Let's go find the prince."

"Young Guardian, if it weren't for the disastrous defeat in Yongle City this time, I'm afraid the government might not have made up its mind to let the Youth Guardian go back." Lu Herang said.

The dozens of people sitting here are said to be the most important people here.

"Brother Lu, this is the sadness of the emperor's power. Any ambitious emperor would not agree with my request. I have to understand it from the other party's perspective."

"Actually, I think it's better to delay the juvenile insurance for a year," said Lu Leping.

After Wang Ju came over, he was indeed very busy as Huang He said. Not only did he have to write more scientific textbooks, but he also had to write other shores and various research and developments. The success of these research and development will turn into huge productivity.

Once Wang Ju left, these research and developments will return to the original slow process and waste a lot of money.

Moreover, Wang Ju did not interfere in the policy. On the contrary, after coming here, he went through a series of more institutional and personnel rectification arrangements. But this is not something that Le Zhizhou can understand.

All of this was not done, so Lu Leping persuaded Wang Juneng to delay it for a year.

Wang Ju shook his head. He knew through Huang He's mouth that Zhao Xu had had a serious illness and could afford to delay it. Zhao Xu could not afford to delay it.

"I call you all here, mainly to discuss something that will affect the future institutional reform. Everyone, you have always been dissatisfied with me selling the mines to various merchants."

Since last winter, that is, from spring here, Wang Ju ordered many small and medium pit mines, as well as some non-critical workshops to auction together, or private contracts. But here has just developed, and there are not many poor people. However, there are also few super rich people. So Wang Ju also ordered banks to lend to these individuals and let them run these workshops and pit mines.

So, they once misunderstood that Wang Ju had obtained a lot of money and donated it to the Song Dynasty.

That side is the mother country, this side is the "motherland"!

"I reiterate that no matter what our future development is, the other side will always be our mother country and cannot be separated. Even if there is a new regime on the other side that replaces the Song Dynasty, as long as we are not aliens, we must still admit that they are our mother country. If hundreds of years later, when technology development to the sea is no longer a daunting road, these continents will be better to reunite under the conditions. The other side may not be clear, but you should be clear that in this hundred years, whether from an immigration or from an economic perspective, we must rely on the other side."

"Shaobao, the trade volume of Dashi last year exceeded that of the Song Dynasty." Tao Qing said.

"Brother Tao, what you are talking about is only profitability, but what about the actual total trade volume?"

After the Dashi trade route was officially opened, not only silk, tea and porcelain were traded from the Song Dynasty. Some were brought back, and some were brought back to Japan or Dashi again. Not only were the production here, such as sugar, candied fruit, perfume, and a bell, but also the production was produced, not the fur, but the fur was almost traded with the Song Dynasty, but the armor.

Some people say that the big food knife is.

The Big Food Knife is very famous, but like the Xia Guojian, the truly best Big Food Knife is made of good steel and is extremely expensive.

Therefore, various weapons with extremely low cost mass production are very popular there.

Moreover, the Daqi split into several countries and fought with European countries, which was a good time to sell arms.

So in addition to weapons related to gunpowder, other weapons can be sold, including the imitation of the Divine Arm Bow here.

Anyway, no matter how far away the Tianshan Mountains are, no matter how hard they fight, they will never pose a threat to the Central Plains with cold weapons. As for whether the Green Fatima Dynasty will use these weapons to defeat the Crusaders of the Eastern Expedition and tramplify Europe under their feet, what does it have to do with Wang Ju?

Therefore, these more advanced cold weapons immediately became the best-sellers there. Last year alone, the profit was equivalent to nearly three million chunks of gold and silver.

Of course, after getting these weapons, all kinds of wars over there will be escalating immediately...

From the perspective of profit, that's not as good as big food.

However, all kinds of trade, including what is produced and lacking here, are inseparable from the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Niannu asked in a low voice: "Will the Song Dynasty perish?"

"There is no country that lasts forever. It is also an imperial system, so the Song Dynasty will perish sooner or later. If I don't make any efforts, the Song Dynasty may perish within these decades. Or flee to a corner of the south. But it's just a matter of hard work, and various crises. It's a lucky chance that the Song Dynasty can continue to establish its country for two hundred years."

"It's a pity that the officials are reluctant to let the people come."

"It's not only the population crisis, but all the heroes brought back all kinds of food I need when they arrived on the other side. The promotion of these foods may make the Song Dynasty feed more than 10 million households. In addition, this kind of immigration will delay the population crisis by hundreds of years and last for more than a hundred years. As for the threat of the barbarians, our new weapons will also be alleviated once they are promoted. But the biggest crisis is the imperial system itself, which is the theme I call you to discuss."

"Imperial system?" Everyone was puzzled.

A snake cannot do without a head. If the emperor is not established, there will be no leader, and the existence of various islands, wouldn’t it be a mess immediately?

"Why do officials have to mess with each other with different theories, so that some capable people cannot play their talents well? In fact, it is still a flaw of the imperial system itself. If they are loyal ministers, they will indeed harm the country. If they are ambitious ministers, they will be disrupted by an ambitious ministers. If they are disturbed by each other with different theories, they will be able to limit their harm. For example, Ding Wei, when Empress Dowager Zhang Xian felt Ding Wei's ambition, he immediately exiled him to Lingnan. But this is not the biggest shortcoming of the imperial system. Its biggest harm is that the emperor concentrates the greatest power. If it is a wise king, the country will soon revive. If it is a foolish king, the country will soon perish. For example, is the foundation left by Emperor Wen of Sui? Emperor Yang of Sui was defeated in just a few decades."

"Why are the founding kings who are wise and the kings who are later on the throne are getting worse and worse? It is not that it is difficult to maintain success, but the founding kings often stand out from the heroes of millions of people, and are mostly outstanding people. That is, the only heroes who fight from the heroes of millions of heroes. They can succeed not only because of their hard work, but also because of their super-class talents. However, their descendants are selected from several or even just a crown prince. Not to mention that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, they actually give birth to nine sons. Each has different. Although the education is worse than that of ordinary people, many people are raised in the deep palace and do not know the sufferings of the people. Therefore, one generation is often worse than the other."

"To be honest, my dynasty has their own strengths and weaknesses. They did not take back Yanyun or even threw it away from the northwest. But overall, none of them was a foolish king. After several generations, this has created an amazing miracle. But that is the Central Plains, where we are islands, and there are two larger continents in the future, so there are more difficulties. If it were imperial system, maybe in a few decades, your and my descendants would fight each other."

"Young Guardian, what do you think you should do?" Huang Liang became worried.

"Brother Huang, don't worry, let me talk about my sons again. After Ci'er came to Suzhou to meet me, she heard that I wanted to take him to the other side. She refused to agree. I almost dragged it all the way onto the boat. After coming here, she actually ran into the brothel and made a fuss."

Zhao Tianci stuck out his tongue beside his mother. Although he had been frying shredded pork with slats many times, he was not afraid of him as a cheap father.

"He is a typical playboy. He said bad things, and did not do anything bad, nor did he have any bad intentions. He was just indulging his highness and developed a big-handed character. Everyone, think about it, if you are an ordinary family, then spend a little money. I believe that just a little profit is enough for him to spend. However, if you become the lord of a country and have supreme rights and wealth in your hands, what would happen?"

"It's my fault to Ping'er, Ping'er, I didn't bring him to you. And because of my various things in the south, many powerful and powerful children in the capital were rejected by the Imperial Academy. This bad experience made him a little gloomy and paranoid. As a child of an ordinary family, it doesn't matter. But as the king of the country, have you ever thought of another person, Emperor Yang of Sui, who is not inferior to Emperor Taizong of Tang, but because of his strong father's repeated suppression, he has cultivated himself to be paranoid. Can such a person be suitable for being the king of the country?"

"After Tao'er, he was still young and could not tell, but I took him to me and observed it carefully. He was quite similar to his mother, and he was more casual, which was even more good-natured. However, as the king of the country, it was not easy to say. There were also many fierce people in Renzong during the reign of Emperor Renzong, because of his political views, but was there such a terrible quarrel like the official family? Therefore, Renzong seemed to be kind and casual, but in fact he was rarely able to match his scheming. And there were various islands here, so it was even more difficult to manage."

In other words, his three sons, no matter whether their personalities are good or bad, are not considered bad people, but they are not all the materials for being emperors.

"I will talk about various industries. At the beginning, I was guided by me and led by you, and started to develop this side. But in your heart, these industries, including ships, workshops, orchards, pastures, farmlands, mines, and even the people are mine. I am very grateful to you for this. However, it is precisely with this idea that all industries are mixed together and eventually become more and more chaotic. So when I was in Guangnan, I instructed you to reform the administrative and industrial systems and norms."

"But this time I came here, there were a lot of chaos. Why is the industry too big and too complicated? This is what we are still here and created from our hands, and everyone cherishes it. However, as soon as we leave, this complex and chaotic industry can be imagined. So this time I auctioned all the pit mining workshops to individuals for business. In the future, I will also sell the remaining ones to individuals for business. In addition to some important industries, the rest will be auctioned as much as possible for individuals to operate. As for the retained industries, 20% of the profits will be given to the royal family every year, and 40% of the profits will be distributed to all those who have made contributions. The remaining 40% will be given to the state for emergency use, or assisting the state in building water conservancy schools, or providing relief to poverty alleviation, and pensions for the martyrs."

"How can this be done?" someone said.

"Why not? This list will be very long, with thousands of people. It seems that you have received 40% of the dividends, but in fact it is not much to be distributed evenly in the hands of individuals. As for the royal family... don't be suspicious, nor is it the royal family you think. This is the new system I want to talk about, the constitutional monarchy."

"Constitutional Monarchy?"

"The state has established a prime minister and presidential system, and all military and political affairs are controlled by these two people. However, unlike the Song Dynasty, these two people can only be appointed for two terms every four years. Once their term expires, they must completely leave the political arena. As for the lord, they are the leader in the name of the country, and there are only two rights. One is to appoint and dismiss the power of the prime minister and the president. When each prime minister and the president hand over, as the lord of a country, a virtuous official must be appointed to hand over. As for how to choose, one is to observe the lord himself in all aspects, the second is to recommend the lord's recommendation of the officials of the following six ministries, and the third is that you or your descendants must send 100 representatives every year to take turns to take charge of various industries, and assist the lord to set an example. In addition, it is to recommend the appropriate candidates for the lord's prime minister or president to the lord. If the first two are very unqualified, then as the lord, you have the right to remove them. If it is seriously unqualified, they will be dismissed immediately."

"Article 2: All major military use must be approved by the Lord of the People before they can send troops. Of course, whether to agree or not, the Lord of the People must consult the opinions of all parties before making a decision. In addition, as the royal family, one thousand Yulin troops can be retained. They have nothing to do with war, but are specially prepared for the safety of the royal family. The cost is also deducted from the two-component dividends and does not require the state to pay. This is the new system. Please think about it again and see what additions are needed. When I come back again, I will implement it immediately."

The main difficulty lies in the previous two hundred years. Once you adapt, you will basically be peaceful.

Think about it, why are you fighting for this emperor who doesn’t have much power?

It is to fight for the president and the prime minister. Not to mention that the two will form a balance, it will be unbalanced, with a term of at most eight years. If you don’t do well, you will step down at any time.

If you fight, you will fight, can you betray it?

Of course, there is no eternal country in this world, but this system must make the country exist for a long time than a real imperial country.

But this system made everyone confused... (To be continued.)
