The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin
Chapter 329: Industrial timer
"Then what do I need to do?" Yingyu asked again.
"Next, I am going to enact a railway law. It is stipulated that all the thirty feet on both sides of the railway road belong to the railway owner." Shang Wen said. In fact, this trick is to encourage railway builders to build railways on a large scale, and at the same time pass the cash subsidy law. In this way, railway owners are allowed to issue bonds according to the mileage of the railway, and the state provides subsidies. These policies are very inclined towards Yingyu. It can be said that he is now the prime minister. To a large extent, it provides great convenience for Yingyu.
In doing so, Shang Wen is stimulating his huge economic plan. But Yingyu didn't know at all.
Shang Wen did this in accordance with the American historical practice when the Pacific Railroad was built. Only in this way can private individuals be effectively encouraged to build railways. With railways, the lifeblood of a country can be thoroughly connected. The place occupied by the Qin army will never be lost.
The Pacific Railway is connected 689 miles east of Sacramento by the United Pacific Railroad Company of California and 1,086 miles west of Omaha, Nebraska, at the Promontory Hills in the Ogden region of Utah. This feat announced that the continental United States began to become one in economic operations and promoted the United States to become an economic power connecting the Pacific and the Atlantic. The United States has changed from a country that only exists in name to a truly complete country. The economic development of the United States began to enter a period of rapid growth. It may be said that it is the railway that can develop a country to a new peak. The value of railways is still not clear to Wen, but he knows too well.
In order to encourage Yingyu to make a second venture investment, Shangwen also learned how to build railroads in the United States. At that time, the U.S. Congress was supported by President Lincoln. Decided to raise funds for road construction by issuing treasury bonds. In order to open the railway as soon as possible, the US government enacted a cash subsidy law in the bill, which also stipulates that no matter which company, the land on both sides of the track shall be developed and used by it. Companies involved in the construction of the Pacific Railroad can obtain more than 5.261 billion acres of land from the government, which is larger than the entire state of Texas; at the same time, they have also been approved to issue shares with a face value of $100, the number of as many as 1 million. Since the government bonds, land grants and subsidies received by the company are issued based on the mileage of the railway, the government has not stipulated the meeting point of the east and west sections of the railway. Therefore, the two railway companies want to speed up the construction speed to obtain more benefits. The law promulgated by Shangwen was established on this basis. There is only one leaning object, Yingyu.
The railway transports not only materials, but the army can quickly move in, and it does not require such a big memorial. Just like the Qin Army's maneuvering exercises. In World War I and World War II, the German army also relied on the railway to complete the mass assembly again and again. Reach a major battle.
It is urgent to build the railway.
Shangwen sent away Yingyu and began to draft legal provisions. These provisions are readily available. Just use it directly and make some changes.
"My lord, someone outside is looking for you. They say there is a very important invention for you to see." shouted outside the door.
"Let him in." Shang Wen said.
"The little one has seen an adult." A man who looked like an attendant in the palace came in to salute.
"Get up quickly. Sit down." Shang Wen stood up and greeted.
"This." The attendant was still a little embarrassed. Not only had he never seen an adult treat a subordinate in this way.
"Sit. This is the sofa. You will get used to it. Sit. Sit." As he said, Shang Wen got up and poured a glass of water in front of the attendant. All of a sudden, the attendant was flattered.
"This, this, my lord. This should be a little..." the attendant said anxiously.
"Sit down. It's okay. Sit down." Shang Wen entertained him to sit down.
"Here." The attendant sat down nervously.
"What's the matter?" Shang Wen asked.
"Oh. Younger, come this time. I'm showing something to an adult. Everyone pays attention to this thing. So, the younger one dares to come here and try it." The attendant said.
"What, let me see." Shang Wen asked.
"The little one will bring it in." The attendant got up immediately as he said. Go out and let people from outside carry in.
Just walked in. Shang Wen jumped up with joy. This is a clock. Mechanized clocks. Although there are eight images in appearance, remove the big drum. It looks very similar to current clocks. The small seals of Qin State are engraved on the dial, which are scales that are timed using the most traditional Chinese method.
Shang Wen was very happy. What's going on today. Someone sent a drawing of the train. Then someone brought a clock. Could it be that the era of great invention has arrived. Shang Wen was happy in his heart.
Shang Wen carefully checked the mechanical clock made by the attendant. The free anchor escapement in the structure of the clock makes Shang Wen overjoyed. Even applauded by clapping. There are many institutions before such institutions. Such as I-wheel escapement, static escapement. And this free anchor escapement is later than the first two. It can be said that the emergence of this kind of institution is a bit advanced. Historically, nautical clocks appeared when this kind of mechanism was adopted. Now it appeared in advance. Can this not make Shang Wen rejoice in the past. This is not only for sailing, but also to make the time more accurate. The more accurate the time is used, the more developed the industrial civilization.
The appearance of the clock is a sign of great significance. It shows that Qin has begun to pay attention to machinery. The machinery reacts to human life. The workers in the factory are no longer looking at heavenly work. It's time. Time, accurate time.
"Your invention can only be described as great." Shang Wen said happily.
"My lord..." The attendant did not dare to use the word great.
"Don't be surprised. You use this word. Your name will always be recorded in the annals of history. Forever. Forever." Shang Wen said historically. The attendant didn't expect that he could go down in the annals of history.
He is just a commander in the palace. That is, the little official who manages time. But you have to get up on time every day. He has long been bored with such a life. Time can't be wrong. So he is very careful. One day, Zhao Gao invited his colleagues to visit his factory. Since Zhao Gao opened this factory, he has been very concerned, especially about mechanical things. Zhao Gao is their boss. They naturally have to follow suit. As a result, those machines impressed the attendant who wanted to be lazy. Therefore, he studied a kind of machine that can automatically remind the time. Clocks and watches were born under this demand. History is such a coincidence.
