Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 391: : capital detour
Jia Liping sighed: "Son of Heaven, Xizhou is full of old people, and labor is limited. There is no machine to replace it. There will be twists and turns in farming this time."
Du Taiping also sighed: "I know that too. So I'm ready to mobilize the armed forces in the west to help the common people cultivate the land. The policy of sending government officials to the countryside will start next year, so this can be alleviated."
"But it can be done without too much manpower, why are you unwilling to try it?"
Du Taiping was in a hurry: "Let's do this. I'll organize a special task force and go to the Kyushu Academy of Sciences for an investigation. At the same time, this country is not mine. I'm just a manager. If you can talk to other party members , if Minister Humerus agrees, I...I have no objection either."
Jia Liping frowned: "Then, I will take my leave first, and we will talk about it tomorrow."
Knowing that he was going back to discuss with Li Zhen, Du Taiping did not persuade him to stay, and immediately sent Jia Liping away.
After Jia Liping left, Du Taiping was also full of embarrassment.
At this moment, he has come to his senses, he shouldn't have said the last sentence. Even if the Minister of Humerus agreed, it seemed that it was the result of a meeting and discussion. But if there is an accident in Xizhou, he will be the one to look for in the end. Who made himself the Son of Heaven.
Difficult.
After thinking for a long time, Du Taiping sent someone to look for Jia Liping again.
Conveyed something like this: 'I think things are too hasty, the special task force still needs to conduct investigations and conduct parent-child experiments. Approval will be granted only after the experimental results come out. ’
Jia Liping's eyes were blindfolded angrily, why is there still an investigation?
Didn't you say that you just need to talk to other ministers? Why do we still need to investigate?
In an instant, Jia Liping understood. Du Taiping is still too cautious, he is afraid of taking responsibility.
The current country is not the imperial court a few years ago. The current emperor is the manager of the country, not the owner.
In the past, when the emperor did something wrong, the common people would only talk about it behind their backs. As long as there is an edict of guilt, the matter can be passed lightly.
But it's different now. If he makes any mistakes, the people below will push him down. Anyway, the emperor takes turns to do it, you can't, the person who changes the line will come.
Jia Liping sent a telegram to tell Li Zhen what happened today.
Kyushu Academy of Sciences, Li Zhen frowned, listening to the letter read by the telegrapher, feeling extremely depressed.
"What's the matter with Du Taiping... I used to be cautious, but now I'm getting more and more timid? I used to dare to come to Laoshan alone to take risks, begging for a chance from the emperor. Now I've settled down and tried new things. Are you afraid of anything?"
Stupid Qi also curled his lips straight: "Li Zhen, is Du Taiping getting old? The more the world goes, the less courageous you are."
Li Zhen shook his head, with some thoughtful eyes in his eyes, and murmured: "He cherishes his feathers too much."
"What do you mean?"
"In the past, the people were the first in his heart. Now in his heart, the position is probably the first. As long as he can be stable, even if he knows that there are benefits ahead and can seek greater benefits for the people, he will not dare to take risks. He He has reached the limit of his position, and now he just wants to keep his position. The first thing in his heart is himself, the second is stability, and the third is the common people."
Lengzi Qi was thoughtful, but he couldn't quite figure it out, so he said bluntly, "Then just drive him out and replace him with someone who can do it."
Li Zhen's face changed, and he said seriously: "In the future, don't say such nonsense. The Kyushu Academy of Sciences has nothing to do with the government. Don't say anything related to politics, especially who will be the emperor. This has nothing to do with you It has nothing to do with it, and it has nothing to do with the Kyushu Academy of Sciences."
Seeing Li Zhen getting serious, Qi Lengzi quickly shut up, knowing that he had talked too much.
Li Zhen pondered for a moment: "It seems that there is no support from the state. Even if it is produced by then, the government will definitely not promote these agricultural machinery."
Lengzi Qi sighed: "According to me, let's just leave it alone. Du Taiping is willing to dispatch troops and generals to help the common people plant the land, and let him do the work. Let's not make a fuss. We invent things If it comes out, it’s fine if they don’t want to use it, there’s no need to force them to use it.”
Li Zhen shook his head: "That's not what he said. Science is for people. The new Kyushu government has nothing to do with us, but the people of Xizhou have a lot to do with us..."
Speaking, Li Zhen remembered the poverty and hardship of the people in Xizhou that he saw with his own eyes when he went to inspect. He really wanted to help the people of Xizhou.
Then draw a clear line in your mind. The new Kyushu is the new Kyushu, and the people are the people. I am not taking the pole to post Du Taiping's cold ass, but to take the initiative to lift those poor people out of poverty.
"One more thing. The product of science is invented, and it is meant to be used. You can't use it if you stay here. Then why invent it? The common people will not benefit at all, and... it will also hurt the inventor. Heart, it will extinguish the enthusiasm of the scientists of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering who have been busy for so long."
Li Zhen sighed: "We must use ~IndoMTL.com~ to find a way to make these things come in handy."
Qi Lengzi wondered: "But the new Kyushu government doesn't support it, they don't support it, production... we can do it, but how can we let the people use it?"
Li Zhenxin said that if the government does not support it, then the Kyushu Academy of Sciences will promote it by itself.
"Send a telegram to Liping, asking him to stay in Quancheng County to find a large factory to discuss and start production. Let's build a batch of plow machines as soon as possible. The cost...Kyushu Academy of Sciences will pay for it. "
"Yes."
The telegraph operator asked again: "Master Li, do we need to send a report to Emperor Du, or tell the government?"
"No need."
Li Zhen waved his hand, watched the telegraph operator leave, and asked, "How much money does Kyushu Academy of Sciences have?"
Lengzi Qi did the math and said, "The account book is with Jia Liping, but I guess we can take out 200 million gold coupons."
"Can you help me calculate how many plow machines can be produced initially?"
After Qi Lengzi married Hou Qiang, his mathematics advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had the answer in his mind: "According to the current conditions, two thousand plow machines are enough. Produce them and ship them to Xizhou , the construction cost and transportation cost are about 500,000 gold coupons.”
Li Zhenxin searched for a while, and it was indeed a drop in the bucket.
"Three thousand plow handles will be produced initially."
"Huh? It takes less than 3,000 units."
"Two thousand units will be used in Xizhou. One thousand units will be used in Dongzhou. Dongzhou will prosper, and Kyushu will prosper. As long as it is popularized in Dongzhou, the plow machine will be promoted nationwide next year. The state does not support it. , then take the capital route.”
Speaking, Li Zhen got up and said: "The harvester is also on the agenda. Five hundred machines are enough. Still the same, one hundred machines will be kept in Dongzhou."
