Ling Chen has been very bored recently.
After not fighting for a while, he almost felt itchy all over.
Engage in construction...
Continue construction.
Ling Chen felt a headache when he looked at the pile of plans in front of him.
When he was in the Western Region, he led people to take charge of this stall.
Now again...
To be honest, he was too lazy to do this. He just likes to lead troops to fight and fight.
But there is no way.
The young master's plan can only be carried out.
These days, a large number of talents and equipment from Liangzhou have entered the Indian mainland.
The governors of India were excited.
Liu Zheng's plan for the Indian continent is actually very simple. Just like in the previous life, the planning of the Demeng Industrial Corridor will then merge this industrial corridor with the Yinliang Industrial Corridor. The population of the Indian continent is still very large. In this era, no, it should be said that in any era, population is the biggest dividend.
Industrial corridor.
Agricultural Development.
Liu Zheng's layout for Central Asia is very clear.
Liangzhou's investment in the East India Company also allowed Liangzhou to once again control the largest share of the East India Company. So equipment, factories, and talents all flocked here.
The entire Indian continent has also set off a wave of factory construction.
The journey is long.
But people are very enthusiastic.
Because looking at the entire world map, India and Central Asia are so critical.
It is the largest channel from Long Yan to the Western World.
Liu Zheng must manage things well.
This is a springboard.
Simple and crude colonization will not solve the problem. Even if there is a big war between you and Europe in the future, the colonized people will most likely cause your backyard to catch fire.
So Liu Zheng thinks.
The best way to colonize is not violence, but construction.
The best form of slavery is not violence, but tameness.
The task he gave Ling Chen was to tame these people.
It may be rude to say this, but it is what it is. Liu Zheng had no good impression of the people in India in his previous life, so instead of killing a pack of wolves, it would be better to tame them into a pack of dogs.
Of course, whether they can be considered wolves is still open to question.
so.
Liu Zheng prepared several policies for Ling Chen.
First, develop industry and agriculture to feed these people.
Second, dereligion, this is very important, mainly to fight against the governors who control religion.
Third, promote "Xinxue" and Long Yan's Confucian culture. The reason for this will not be explained in detail.
And in Liangshan.
The technological development that Liu Zheng has always been concerned about is slowly breaking through technical difficulties one by one.
The emergence of the steam engine was far from the ultimate goal.
The technology tree developed from steam engines was what Liu Zheng wanted.
For example, steam trains.
This is what Liu Zheng has always dreamed of. But it is something that I dare not take out in a short period of time.
Why?
Xie Tianyao has never taken action against Liu Zheng, and can only yell and scream in the imperial edict. The biggest reason is that he believes that most of Liu Zheng's troops are now out of reach of the court. Such as Central Asia, such as the South.
As mentioned before, Liangzhou’s military strength is now very small. After several deployments and disarmament, Liangzhou’s military strength is currently maintained at about 150,000. This number is directly compared to other territories. Half of it is missing.
As for his other troops, if there is any dispute in the country, it will take at least a year to return to the country to support...
distance.
Marching speed.
This has not changed for thousands of years.
Even with the Grand Canal today, not much has changed.
but.
Once the steam train appeared, it was different.
Liu Zheng did not hesitate to believe that once this thing came out.
Xie Tianyao will definitely kill himself without saying a word.
Because the train's ability to carry troops is greatly improved.
For thousands of years, wind, water, animals, and human power have been the power sources for human survival. Since the invention of the steam engine, human beings have completely broken away from the long-term limitations of human power, water, wind, and animal power.
The steam engine replaces the living power source with an inanimate power source. By using a machine - a rapid, regular, precise, and tireless machine - to convert heat into work, economic growth will become more "intensive." , per capita income and material welfare at the individual level will be improved.
This is the effect Liu Zheng wants to achieve.
So why did he encourage invention and creation in Liaodong? This is what Britain did during the first industrial revolution.
In 1624, the British Parliament passed the Patent Act, which was called the "Monopoly Act" at the time. This is what Liu Zheng did. There is no doubt that the promulgation of the Patent Law and the emergence of pioneers with the cowboy spirit will undoubtedly cause large-scale fermentation in Liaodong.
In the Industrial Revolution, the emergence of steam trains represented the arrival of a new era.
This is a huge impact on ancient transportation methods.
Once the steam train comes out, his troops hidden abroad can reach Beijing in ten days at most!
so.
This thing needs to be hidden.
This is Liu Zheng's greatest magic weapon.
But if you want to use steam trains, you must have tracks.
How to lay the track secretly is the issue that Liu Zheng should consider most now.
After reading the letter from Liangshan, Liu Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The technical difficulties of steam trains have been overcome step by step. It seems that Liangshan's scientific research laboratory has begun to mature.
Planetary gears have been developed by the scientific research laboratory. Next, there is the double-action steam engine, as well as the flywheel to solve the stability problem, the parallel motion linkage mechanism, the centrifugal speed regulator and throttle valve, and the pressure gauge supporting the steam engine...
It was not until these difficulties were overcome that a mature steam engine would be truly launched.
So……
What about tracks?
Liu Zheng smiled slightly.
Easy to say.
He first came up with a new thing to let Long Yanren have a try.
Track carriage.
