Chapter 114 Everyone has their own thoughts
He Xi said: "Your Highness, it is better to sit down and discuss the truth than to get up and do it. After all, we are not groping in the dark. Instead, we see a road, and we can only walk along this road. We will definitely be able to achieve more in a shorter time." Enter the era of industrialization quickly. Even in my lifetime, we can promote the steam engine and the electrification two industrial revolutions. Your Highness will be able to see electric lights."
He Xi told the truth.
It's also true.
Although the steam engine has not yet been put into practical use, the problem is no longer serious. There is no problem with the basic structure of the steam engine, but there are problems with some details. There is also the issue of materials. Even prototypes are already being manufactured. It can be said that the first industrial revolution belonging to the Ming Dynasty is already on the eve.
Although the second industrial revolution followed the first one, He Xi did not think that there was anything too difficult about generators or electric motors from a mechanical structure perspective. Of course, the most original model mentioned here. He Xi felt that when the steam engine was put into use and the mechanical processing capabilities were greatly improved, the theory of electrification could be spread out.
As for the future, sorry.
If He Xi wants to speed up the development of science and technology, he can't.
Without him, He Xi's knowledge reserves and the books he brought from behind could achieve this. The most knowledgeable period in many people's lives is during high school. The computer and mobile phone He Xi brought were used in high school, so the contents contained a lot of high school physics knowledge.
High school knowledge can guide the construction of generators, but it cannot guide the construction of atomic bombs.
Although a lot of knowledge is from before World War II. But He Xi actually didn't understand. To know is to know, to understand is to understand, these two things, the theory of relativity was also before World War II. How many ordinary people understand?
The prince said: "It would be great if you can really see it. I didn't know your identity before. You should just call me brother as before."
He Xi said: "Yes."
The prince asked: "How is Xiongying?"
He Xi said: "I asked Xiongying to study at Yingkou University. He is still young. Learning more is the right way."
The prince said: "Yes, my father and I are both old and have passed the best age for learning. Xiongying is the third generation emperor of the Ming Dynasty, or the second generation, the future of the Ming Dynasty. I entrust him to you Yes. You are not only his uncle, but also his teacher. Something unexpected will happen to me in the future. I hope you can support Xiongying and do everything you and I want to do."
The prince really wants to do what He Xi did, promote the development of productivity and trigger the first and second industrial revolutions. From then on, Daming's development entered the fast lane.
have no idea.
The prince himself didn't know.
This contradiction can be seen from the prince's view of the future.
However, the prince did not reveal anything in front of He Xi. Not only because of He Xi, but also because of Zhu Yuanzhang.
He knew Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, and Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts were highly consistent with He Xi's thoughts. If the prince shows hesitation today, it will not take long before it reaches Zhu Yuanzhang's ears. This is not something the prince wants to see.
Therefore, he had to show that he was of the same mind as He Xi.
As for other things, that is a matter of the future.
He Xi stood up immediately, looking very grateful. He said: "I will definitely live up to His Highness's trust and assist my grandson wholeheartedly. However, please relax, Your Highness. After all, many things have changed. Isn't Wei Guogong still in Nanjing?"
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry about the impossible."
The prince didn't see any flaw in He Xi's face.
If He Xi did not have a conversation with Zhan Ding before his death, then today, He Xi was moved by the prince for no reason. .z.br>
After all, He Xi himself did not have much desire for power, or in other words, the biggest desire in He Xi's heart allowed him to defeat his own desire for power. What is the greatest desire in He Xi's heart? It's Back to the Future.
This thing is naturally impossible.
Now that is
He has already done so many things to change history, and the future he can return to is no longer his future.
Since we can't do it, we can only settle for the next best thing. That is, in this era, we can also enjoy some things in later generations. At least there must be electricity. Yes there is electricity.
A modern person loses electricity and the Internet. Losing the car, etc. That kind of pain is unimaginable without experiencing it yourself. Think about it, in later generations, He Xi had to use the fastest means of transportation in this era, riding a horse.
You also have to pay, and the inner thighs will form thick calluses after countless pains.
This kind of learning cost, usage cost, coupled with extremely low efficiency, makes everyone crazy.
This is how difficult it is to go from luxury to frugality.
He Xi worked hard to develop science and technology, and of course he had the idea of promoting the development of Ming Dynasty. There is also a lot for myself. Not to mention other means of transportation, at least there is a train. Mobile text messaging video calls. Don’t even think about it. At least there should be a telegram.
This is He Xi's obsession. It was also what He Xi wanted.
Therefore, it seems that there is not much conflict between He Xi and the prince.
But here is the problem. He Xi discovered that an industrialized society cannot be ruled by a feudal dynasty. Many things cannot be solved by simple reforms. Even making things simple will have side effects on technological development and many other things.
He Xi's demand for the Ming Dynasty's reforms was no longer the same as Zhu Yuanzhang's.
It was even different from what the prince had in mind.
Now, the prince wants to treat He Xi as a snake, but He Xi is not.
This also shows that He Xi has made great progress over the years. Under Zhu Yuanzhang's personal training and cultivation, He Xi gradually became a mature politician. As a sign of a politician, he is skilled in using power to achieve his goals, and has unswerving political beliefs that are even willing to sacrifice his life for it.
He Xi seems to have both of these.
The prince said: "Don't mention these troublesome things. Let's talk about Liaodong's affairs first. How is Liaodong's industry now?"
He Xi said, "Under His Majesty's care, Liaodong's industry has developed very well."
So, He Xi started from iron ore, coal mine, wood factory, limestone factory and other raw material industries, steel factory, machinery factory. paper mill. Textile mills, shipyards, etc., are explained one by one.
The prince listened very carefully and asked questions one by one if he didn't understand anything. The two sides talked for a long time before they were almost done.
And the candles around him were burned out one by one. Because the conversation between the prince and He Xi was too confidential, no one else was allowed in. So, He Xi replaced the candles one by one, this was already the second time.
The prince said: "Brother He has done a great job, great, but Brother He is a great talent and should not be reduced to a low place. Are you willing to return to the capital? No matter what you do, the capital is the most important. If you want to promote the world, you must also start from The capital begins."
The prince's words did not really mean to promote industry.
Of course, the prince did not want to deny the industry and overthrow everything in He Xi, but wanted to control it.
The prince deeply understands the power of industry. Don't say anything else. Although Fu Youde reduced a lot of expenses, such as using Japanese people. However, Liaodong did not find it difficult to support two wars at the same time. This is also a terrible fact.
You need to know what Liaodong was like a few years ago.
It is not even qualified to establish a prefecture or county. Only military control.
Now, after just a few years, Liaodong's strength has surpassed many state capitals in the entire Ming Dynasty. Even save. This strength changes greatly. It was like magic, which not only made the prince happy, but also a little frightened. He was naturally happy with the growth of Ming's strength. But he was more worried about this power getting out of control.
It will cause a devastating blow to the Ming Dynasty.
Control, must be controlled.
Industrialization, promotion of scientific knowledge, and some changes must be carried out in the court, or under his control. Rather than the other way around.
This was an extremely certain fact after the prince was shocked.
And how to control it?
The prince felt that the first thing to do was to control He Xi in his hands. He Xi cannot be left wandering around. Therefore, the prince made such a suggestion. It looks very normal. After all, if we really want to reform the law, the capital cannot avoid it.
It’s just that He Xi is no longer the He Xi he used to be.
