Xu Mochen was going to work on the hydropower station, and soon the courtiers knew about it.
During the Tianchao meeting, Xu Mochen announced his plan.
The Prime Minister first expressed his support: "Your Majesty, this matter of building a hydropower station will have long-lasting benefits and benefit all people. It is really a wise move.
It is truly a great blessing for the people of the world and us to have such an emperor in Daqian. "
Si Tingxuan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, also came out: "I have carefully read your majesty's plan. This hydropower station can not only generate electricity, but also divert water for irrigation. The water accumulated in it can also be diverted and used as drinking water. It serves multiple purposes."
In today's world, only Your Majesty is so wise and can come up with such a good solution. "
As soon as the two started talking, a group of loyal ministers immediately expressed their position.
"Your Majesty, this is definitely a project to create a prosperous age, and the ministers and others are willing to go all out."
"In this way, it can be said that the problems of the local people have been solved to a great extent."
"Your Majesty, I think such a major event can only be realized if your Majesty personally leads it."
"That's right, we will absolutely swear allegiance to you to the death."
…
You see, loyal ministers are different, they all agree with Xu Mochen.
The reason is simple. This hydropower station is just a trick to them.
It's rare that Your Majesty has such a hobby, so go run on this road.
Many wise kings in history were cultivated in this way.
Some like civil construction, some like sculpture, and some like romance.
Immortal cultivators can satisfy the interests and hobbies of different emperors.
Now the officials also realized that the things Xu Mochen, the emperor, likes are all inconspicuous gadgets.
In this case, as loyal ministers, they must give their full support.
However, there are always ministers who do not understand current affairs.
The Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate (Human Race) came out: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen believes that the construction of a hydropower station needs to be carefully considered. After all, Wei Chen does not know what the specific function of this electricity is."
"Your Majesty," Li Heng (human race), the censor of Zuodu, also advised, "I believe that since your Majesty is determined to innovate, he should also focus on the overall situation, and the affairs of the government and the military cannot be ignored."
"The ministers also believe that such matters do not require His Majesty's personal involvement," Zhou Ha (Human Race), the Censor of the Right Capital, joined in. "In recent years, Your Majesty has said that the court meeting will be held once a month, but in fact, His Majesty leaves the palace from time to time. If things continue like this, he will fear the power of the monarch." Fall aside."
These words made a group of immortal cultivators and ministers look at him with eager eyes.
You *** ministers will definitely find an opportunity to kill you.
But the officials of the human race didn't care. They only cared about the emperor's power.
In the past, their status was low and they had no real power, but this year, they can more or less fight for it in the court.
The positions of human officials and immortal cultivators and courtiers are different.
The immortal cultivators and courtiers all hope that Your Majesty will become a famous king throughout the ages, travel to the mountains and rivers every day, work in the harem, and other such important things.
However, the human officials hoped that Xu Mochen would become a foolish king. It would be better if he stayed up 24 hours a day and died of exhaustion in the imperial study while grading memorials.
They are all ministers!
Seeing the human officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Administration Department, the Minister of Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Household Affairs all trying their best to dissuade Xu Mochen, the other ministers were extremely happy.
Your Majesty, look, now you should know who loves you the most.
Xu Mochen was so angry that he almost had a myocardial infarction. This group of human court officials had no eyesight at all.
I'm not messing around, making useless things. What I'm doing is top-notch.
"Your Majesty," the Prime Minister finally came forward, "the opinions of other ministries also need to be considered. I hope Your Majesty will make your own decisions and no longer hesitate."
Xu Mochen was convinced: "Okay, okay, I know what you mean.
Well, let's retreat now. Those of you who have doubts will stay. I will tell you about the hydropower station. "
Li Heng, the censor of Zuodu, is still angry
Indignant: "Your Majesty, this is to govern the world, govern with benevolence, and rest with the people, step by step.
Starting the foundation of a prosperous era in the Great Qian Dynasty cannot be achieved overnight by wasting people and money and constructing projects. "
I know, I know, Xu Mochen said that he completely understood.
In this era, including the human court officials, it is normal for them to be ignorant and not understand the importance of electricity.
The other ministers were satisfied and left in twos and threes.
Xu Mochen left the human court officials behind. He stood up and slowly walked down the steps: "I understand what all of you are thinking.
What you are afraid of is that I am doing useless work and wasting national affairs. "
Zhou Ha burst into tears: "What the ministers and others said are all for your Majesty's sake and for your great work. I ask your Majesty for your understanding."
"I feel like a mirror in my heart," Xu Mochen smiled, "Of course you have your reasons for objecting.
But I insist on doing this for my own reasons.
The role of electricity is so great that once it is introduced into society, it will be enough to improve our overall level for hundreds of years. "
This sentence was very intimidating and everyone was confused.
"Your Majesty," Li Heng was a little unsure, "you are saying that as long as we have electricity, we will be able to make rapid progress."
Xu Mochen said it was more than enough, it was like riding a rocket.
"Well, with electricity, many industries can be developed, such as mineral smelting, oil exploration, etc.," Xu Mochen said confidently, "Aircrafts, cars, cannons and other things can be manufactured step by step.
On that day, if there is a car and the road is built, it will only take a few days to go to Ningzhou. "
"Hiss—" Everyone gasped, Your Majesty, are you crazy?
Even flying birds would take several days to get from Beijing to Ningzhou.
The best thousand-mile horse can't arrive without ten days and a half month.
What kind of car is this? How many days will it take to arrive?
"Sit down, all sit down," Xu Mochen greeted everyone, "You don't understand, and I understand too. After all, it is too far ahead of this era.
Let's do this. I decree that each of your ministries...just send some censors to follow. You will gradually understand what electricity can do.
Also, even if power generation fails, at least a reservoir has been built. You have seen the role of the Danzhou Reservoir in the south. "
After saying this, everyone felt at peace.
Yes, after the reservoir was built, they realized that it was really useful.
"Okay," Xu Mochen didn't blame them. Humans are sometimes stubborn, "but the way you behaved in the court today was a bit excessive.
After returning home, each person should write a memorial to apologize. "
Even if he wrote a letter of repentance, no one would be dissatisfied.
When dealing with the human race, the measures must be stricter, otherwise the emperor's face will be lost.
No matter what, this court meeting achieved a happy result for everyone.
Next, the construction of the hydropower station will officially begin.
There was no suitable place near the capital, so Xu Mochen's original idea was nearby Lanzhou.
If it is too far, there will not be such long wires, and with current standards, the loss will be high if the current is transmitted.
In addition, transportation is also a big problem in this era. Horses cannot pull things that are too big and heavy.
You can't ask the immortal cultivators to move there, that would be too shocking.
Although Duan Bailian split the entire generator into components that could be combined, the total number was quite large.
It consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.
On one side, the final confirmation was made, and on the other side, brother and sister Fang Minghang brought good news.
The two of them redrawn the terrain in Lanzhou and asked someone to bring it back.
Compared with Xu Mochen's original Daqian map, the new map is much more detailed.
In the imperial study room, everyone gathered together to discuss.
"I believe that the mountains in this area, as well as the surrounding natural rivers, change their paths and converge, which will consume the most time.
"Little," Xu Mochen pointed to one of them, "stop this place and build a hydropower station. The larger the gap, the more water energy will be brought, and the power generation efficiency will be higher."
Shen Zhining agreed: "It should be noted that these are high mountains and ridges, and it would be very difficult for ordinary people to work."
"We brought back some immortal cultivators from Danzhou in the south," Xu Mochen could only do the next best thing, "This time, let's use some of the immortal cultivators' power."
"In this case," Gu Jinge put forward his own opinion, "We can try to establish a special circle of influence for immortal cultivators in the surrounding area. With the blessing of the seal, they will have a greater chance of obtaining immortality, and they will not be involved in the construction of the project. Will be so resistant."
Xu Mochen agreed: "It seems that I am going to Lanzhou to communicate with the local immortal cultivators."
