Valley Emperor

Sixty years after Xuanping, the death of Prince Li Hao brought some waves to the Tang Empire, which was developing steadily and rapidly.

But it is only a wave. Although the Son of Heaven is old now, he is still firmly in control of the court situation. Whether it is a vassal king, a powerful minister or a native, they all dare not give birth to any idea of ​​making waves.

Therefore, when the subsequent twenty-five feudal kings returned to Beijing, there were no waves!

The sixty years of Xuanping of the Empire passed so smoothly.

What is different from the past is that the young imperial grandson Li Hongyi began to appear frequently in official media such as the Tang Dynasty Daily.

Although he is young now, he has been appointed by the Holy Son of Heaven to act as the acting office of the imperial study, just like the previous prince. He has received strict royal education since childhood, and has actually been in touch with government affairs since a few years ago. He is responsible for electrification in detail. It also quickly showed the ability to coordinate the overall situation.

In many meetings of the imperial study room, Li Hongyi, the grandson of the imperial concubine, showed his composure, calmness and old-fashioned skills, and handled many affairs properly.

The performance of Li Hongyi, the grandson of the emperor, also made Li Xuan, the son of the emperor, in the eyes of him!

This made Li Xuan feel a lot more at ease. He was a little worried that the emperor was too young to control the court situation. He didn't expect to handle things so properly.

It doesn't seem to have any bright spots, but it's better than stability

And right now, nothing is more important than stability.

After the death of Prince Li Hao, the empire is not suitable for anything too sensational and intense. The current empire needs to be stabilized!

And in the past six months, the series of policy measures shown by the grandson Li Hongyi also reassured Li Xuan!

The character of this eldest grandson was born to be a ruler, and to some extent he was more suitable than Li Xuan himself!

Seemingly peaceful, but ruthless, there is no ambiguity in what to do.

The only thing lacking is that the means are too plain and a little reckless, so that in many cases, his own intentions will be exposed and provoked, but this is a matter of experience.

And experience can be accumulated!

If Li Xuan can **** the emperor's grandson for a few years, it will be enough for the emperor's grandson to grow up quickly, and finally achieve the smooth transfer of the imperial throne, avoid the turmoil in the early Ming period, and even avoid the turmoil in the late Qin period.

It's just that Li Xuan himself is getting older, and his body is not as good as before. Even though he has been taking care of it all these years, he still doesn't know how long he can survive. To be honest, he doesn't know.

Now all he has to do is give himself a few more years to live.

As long as he is alive!

Then it is enough to provide the greatest help to the imperial grandson.

As long as he is still alive, the world will not be in chaos, and the grandson will have enough time to complete the accumulation of experience!

At the same time, Li Xuan also began to consider the layout of the court!

This layout does not mean arranging for ministers to take care of life or the like. The grandson Li Hongyi is not a little boy. Although he is young, he is already twenty-five years old, and he has already started to get involved in government affairs many years ago. What he lacks is only Some experience and prestige.

There is no need for a life-saving minister like a nanny!

What is Li Xuan's layout?

The first priority is to create an opportunity for the grandson, let him accumulate a huge prestige, let him gain the confidence of the world, and let the subjects of the world think from the bottom of their hearts that he will be a good emperor, not just a good emperor. He is Li Xuan's eldest grandson.

This is the same as what Li Xuan has done for the prince in the past few years. To be honest, the late prince Li Hao's talent is very ordinary, but relying on the prestige accumulated over the years, it is still enough to convince the world. The emperor can continue to lead the empire to glory.

Now, Li Xuan will let the grandson do the same!

Therefore, Li Xuan asked his grandson Li Hongyi to focus on the development of agro-industrial economy, the core of which is to continue electrification.

Electrification was originally a gift package prepared by Li Xuan for Prince Li Hao, but now, this gift package is going to fall on Li Hongyi, the grandson of the emperor.

As long as the emperor's grandson Li Hongyi has completed electrification and brought a new wave of great development to the empire, it will be enough to accumulate enough prestige for the emperor's grandson and a prestige that the subjects all over the world will sincerely support.

Li Xuan has always firmly believed that if you want to secure the throne and let the world's subjects sincerely support you, there is only one thing, and that is to bring tangible benefits to the world's subjects!

Why is Li Xuan's prestige so high?

Unify the world? Industrialization or some other mess?

These are all counted, but in the end, these things are all for the same thing: the life of the Tang people has changed for the better!

The reason why Li Xuan's prestige is so high is very simple, that is, he has made the life of Datang people better.

In order to gain the support of the subjects, the grandson does not matter what he does in the whole process, but in the end, it still comes down to one point: let the subjects live a better life!

good day!

This is what everyone expects!

Looking at the development of the empire for decades, the Tang Empire has basically completed the first-class industrial development brought about by the steam engine after today.

At this time, the development speed of many fields has slowed down, and even negative growth has occurred.

Why?

Because the productivity improvement brought by the steam engine has almost been utilized, and if we want to continue to develop rapidly in the future, we must further improve the productivity.

How to increase productivity?

The memory of the previous life gave Li Xuan the best path, which is to promote electrification in an all-round way, and promote the comprehensive development of the internal combustion engine.

The increase in productivity brought about by the steam engine is called the first industrial revolution, while the increase in productivity brought about by electrification and the internal combustion engine is called the second industrial revolution.

Now, it is time for the Tang Dynasty to fully promote the second industrial revolution on a large scale.

In fact, many things in the second industrial revolution have already appeared in many fields of the Tang Empire, such as the information revolution brought about by the telegraph, which is a characteristic of typical electrification applications.

In addition, the Datang Empire Navy has played with electric push turrets for a long time. Although that thing appeared too early and was abandoned because it was not practical, it turned to use hydraulic turrets, but this was already an attempt by the Datang Empire in the electric field in the early years.

Then there is the internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine of the Datang Empire has long been available, and automobiles have been around for many years. The convenience of short-distance transportation brought by automobiles, especially trucks, is also an improvement in productivity, but more importantly, The development of various construction machinery and large agricultural machinery powered by internal combustion engines has led to the improvement of productivity.

In many areas, the empire has adopted large-scale farms, using agricultural machinery such as large tractors powered by gasoline engines for farming.

However, in Li Xuan's view, the current scale and speed of development are still insufficient, and the productivity improvement brought about by sporadic development is still too small to significantly increase the productivity of the entire empire.

The further application of electrification and internal combustion engines is to allow them to enter every corner of society. This is what the empire needs to do in the future, and in this process, it will definitely bring about a substantial increase in productivity, which will change the lives of people in the Tang Dynasty. better!

Now, Li Xuan is entrusting the task of fully promoting the second industrial revolution to the grandson!

In September of the 61st year of Xuanping, Li Xuan summoned the grandson alone. This time, the summons were different from the previous ones.

After the grandson came in, Li Xuan screened back to the left and right, then pointed to a large stack of documents on the table and said, "This is the report just sent from the Institute of Technology, take a look!"

After one year's experience as acting in the imperial study, the grandson has become much calmer than last year. After salute, he came over and picked up this hundred-page document and read it.

This is a report sent by the Department of Economics of the Royal Institute of Technology. The report is very long, but it actually says very little!

There is only one thing mentioned in the whole article, which is to demonstrate the various influences brought by the use of electric motors to replace steam engines as the main power.

Before acting as the royal study room, the emperor's grandson was already in charge of the construction of the basic field under the Ministry of Industry, including the construction of hydropower stations, and also took over electrification in other fields.

Although the acting Yushufang has been very busy in the past year, due to the actual needs of the development of the contemporary empire, a lot of work is actually related to electricity.

More importantly, he has stronger political sensitivity than the prince!

He knew at a glance at this report that it was a big killer to increase productivity and stabilize rule!

Li Xuan did not let the grandson guess anything, but popularized the concept and importance of the second industrial revolution to him!

"The productivity improvement brought by the steam engine has almost been consumed. If we want to further improve productivity and stabilize social contradictions, we need new productivity growth points, and the application of electric power and the application of internal combustion engines are the two most important points in the future!"

"And the productivity improvement brought by these new technologies can completely set off the second industrial development!"

"Originally, this should have been done by your father, but now the situation is different. You must shoulder the burden of promoting the development of the second industry!"

Li Xuan said a lot on this day. It seemed that he was talking about industrial development on the surface, but his words were frequently mixed with a few words: contradiction.

The emperor's political understanding has always been very good. He was able to grasp the key point from Li Xuan's long speech: the second industrial development is to solve social contradictions.

Li Xuan is telling the imperial grandson Li Hongyi why he wants to engage in the second industrial development!

Not for industrial and commercial economic development, or other things, but to improve productivity and ease social conflicts, so that the imperial society will be more stable and harmonious, and then continue to rule.

And if these are extended, then the grandson can easily understand the main point of all Li Xuan's words today: everything is for domination!

Whether it is the second industrial development, the construction of a huge national defense, the global expansion, or the crackdown on corrupt officials, everything you do as an emperor, everything has only one purpose, and only one purpose. That is to maintain their own rule!

This is what Li Xuan wants to tell the grandson Li Hongyi today!

No matter what you do, everything should be based on maintaining rule!

To put it bluntly, Li Xuan just told Li Hongyi what an emperor should do.

Maintain your rule!

This is the emperor's only mission, the only starting point for any policy measures.

The second industrial development is also based on such a starting point!

In the past, when facing the prince, Li Xuan seldom said these things so bluntly, because it was too explicit and realistic, and the prince's temperament was unacceptable.

At that time, the emperor's grandson was different, and Li Xuan knew that he could accept these with his character.

This conversation is also the most in-depth conversation Li Xuan has had with others in the past few years. He hopes that this conversation will make the grandson grow up as soon as possible.

Of course, putting aside these deeper things and only talking about the superficial second industrial development, it will also have a significant impact.

Li Xuan is a clear-cut way to let the emperor's grandson engage in the second industrial development!

And this is very important!

It didn't take long for the Tang Dynasty newspaper to appear in the speech of the emperor's grandson, Li Hongyi, when he inspected the Dangtu Industrial Zone.

The full text of the Tang Dynasty Daily published the important speech of the Emperor Taisun's "comprehensive promotion of the second industrial development". The speech naturally quoted many of the Son of Heaven's public remarks, such as development is the last word, and strive to achieve national Wealth, etc., these are all necessary procedures for official speech.

At the same time, the speech emphasized the importance of the development and application of electric power and the development and application of internal combustion engines.

This kind of official speech, in fact, is all about the big truth, and there is nothing too practical. This speech cannot be made by the grandson of the emperor when he is giving a speech. In fact, this speech is , it was drafted by the secretary of the imperial grandson, reviewed and revised by the secretariat of the Imperial Academy, and circulated in the duty meeting of the imperial study.

Because this thing is not an ordinary speech, but shows the development direction of the empire for many years to come.

This is the tone for future development set by the top of the empire!

Its importance is self-evident!

This kind of speech that shows the attitude of the upper echelons of the empire has an enormous impact!

After the speech was published ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ministers of Commerce and other departments, ministers and other ministers frequently mentioned several terms such as "second industrial development" and "electrification" at the meeting.

The high-level officials of the empire have already begun to push forward, and the middle-level of the empire is also following up in time!

Eastern Electric Power, a subsidiary of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, announced that Eastern Electric Power will invest heavily to set up electrical research laboratories in Songjiang and Beijing to conquer and research more advanced generators and motors.

The Royal Institute of Technology and Zhaoqing Electric Company jointly announced that the service life of the carbon filament electric lamp developed by the electric lamp laboratory jointly established by the two parties has exceeded 1,000 hours, which has been able to meet the long-term use of electric lamps. Seeking to further prolong the service life of electric lamps and reduce costs for mass production.

This news is nothing. What really set off the market is that the Palace Affairs Office officially announced before the arrival of the Spring Festival that the Palace Affairs Office has set up an electric light station, and the installation and commissioning of the electric facilities have been completed. From the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the palace will officially light up Lights!

And electric lights were also set up outside the palace wall for the people to watch!
