The process of industrialization belongs to a social process.

Generally speaking, it appears when the time, place and people are in harmony, that is, it is the requirement of the times. It is not transferred by the individual's will, nor is it blocked by the individual's power.

The current industrialization process of the Ming Dynasty has actually been on track.

For example, a technician from Times Group used his spare time to further optimize the vernier caliper, which is more accurate and convenient, almost reaching the level of modern vernier calipers.

At the Times Group Transformer Research and Development Institute, some technicians found that it would generate heat when powered on, so they actually created an electric heater to boil water for heating. Then they invested in it and developed an electric kettle...

Various products from across the ages have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

But even in this current situation, the industrialization process of the Ming Dynasty is still being pushed away. As long as the times group collapses, the systematic industrialization process will collapse.

Therefore, the current industrialization process of Ming Dynasty still has a long way to go.

Because the Emperor of Ming can still kill the industrialization process with his own strength, and to change this situation, it will be safe only when the imperial power is weakened.

So Dusk knew that he still had to struggle.

After the internal combustion engine was created, he didn't want to worry about the industrialization process. The goal would be changed to a change in the "social system", and he would find ways to weaken the imperial power.

Well, I have to wait for Zhu Di to die.

Even if Zhu Di dies, Zhu Gaochi who ascended the throne and Zhu Zhanji in the future are not good at it. It can be said that it is a difficult ideal to change the social system in your lifetime.

Since it is an ideal, then spend your whole life climbing this mountain.

So when I was drinking with Zhang Min in a restaurant, I was silent at dusk. Yongle has been fourteen years. According to historical data, Zhu Di still has eight years to live, but Empress Xu has changed her fate, and Zhu Di has not only been eight years.

Zhu Di's death was caused by long-term wars.

Zhu Di has hardly been to the battlefield now, and he has been in great condition. He may have lived a long life like Zhu Gaochi. Well, because of his appearance, Zhu Gaochi's position as a prince is as stable as Mount Tai, so he will not be afraid. Therefore, Zhu Gaochi is also very energetic now, and he may have to live for several more years.

It's just a pity for Zhu Zhanji.

I have to be a grandson for many years.

Zhang Min suddenly asked, "Master, there is one thing I don't understand. I don't know if I can ask you to answer it."

Dusk smiled and said, "You said."

Zhang Min said: "In theory, our Times Group is so large that it is almost as rich as a country. With such a large scale, Your Majesty cannot be afraid of such a large scale. But even in this case, why do you still have to let the officials of the government and opposition, wealthy and powerful people participate in the Times Group? The power formed in this way is very terrifying, but Your Majesty will be even more afraid of it. This is not a good thing."

Huang Tun smiled, "Of course I have my own considerations. What kind of considerations can you guess?"

Zhang Min shook her head.

After thinking about it, I just said in a vague way: "The emperor only tells the country, but since ancient times, those who truly control the development of the national situation are actually all superstructures. The emperor is just the spokesperson for the interests of superstructures."

To be simple and easy to understand, it is the interests of the landlord class that determine the change of dynasties.

The same was true in the Ming Dynasty.

The Zhu Family Tianshi always represents the superstructure. If you want to change the imperial power to curb society, you need to take action from the landlord class to let the landlord class understand that the existence of imperial power actually curbs their interests. Even if the Zhu Family Tianshi does not want to carry out social reforms, it will not work.

Well, of course, it must be a weaker king.

A powerful king can make the landlord class breathless, and only a weaker king will be overtaken by the landlord class.

For example, why did Wang Mang's Xin Dynasty collapse so quickly?

It was because of his reform that touched the interests of the landlord class.

This is the essence of dynasty changes.

Then the social reforms they want to do, whether it is a constitutional monarchy or a republic, are a bit unrealistic to overthrow the Zhu family's Tianshi by rebellion, so the most likely way is to make the landlord class continue to become stronger until one day they discover that the Tianshi royal family has become an existence that curbs their interests, and then countless people will stand on their side.

Therefore, the twilight era group never refused to invest from government and opposition officials, including local wealthy businesses.

This is to tie the landlord class to oneself.

Of course, there is another purpose.

With the process of industrialization and the booming development of commerce, the landlord class discovered that the best way to obtain profits was no longer to annex the land, and the land annexation phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty would be alleviated.

This again guarantees the interests of farmers.

The interests of farmers are the foundation of social stability.

As society continues to develop and commerce and industry become more and more developed, agriculture will decline, and what Times Group has to do is take the opportunity to buy a large amount of suburban land.

Not for the local owners.

It's for the land.

Land is always the most valuable commodity.

These layouts have never been told to others before, and they dare not tell them, but he has been doing this.

Thinking of this, I continued to say to Zhang Min: "The current trend of the Ming Dynasty is to continue to expand externally. Your Majesty and I will continue to expand externally. After a while, a book will be published. When you read that book, you will know why the Ming Dynasty continued to expand externally, because only by continuing to expand externally rather than closing the country, can the Ming Dynasty build a strong foundation for the Chinese nation to stand on the top of the world for a long time."

Zhang Min said no, and asked back: "So, it has been a lot of controversy recently. Is it true that the government is preparing to release the maritime ban policy?"

At dusk, he was stunned, "Your Majesty is going to let go of the sea ban?"

He doesn't know about this yet.

Zhang Min said, "Now the government and the people are discussing this matter. It is said that this matter has been raised by His Majesty. It has been discussed many times in the Qianqing Palace Small Court meeting. Many wealthy businessmen and officials in the court have already made arrangements along the coast and are preparing to set up a business to go to sea."

The huge profits in overseas trade are indeed impossible not to make people jealous.

Zhang Min continued: "I heard that Shen Xili is also making great efforts to set up overseas routes on Times Group. It seems that he is going to Nanyang. Don't the official know?"

Dusk laughed dryly, "I went to Nanyang not for trade. Well, it was also considered trade, but its essence was to expand wars outside, which was related to the abolition of the sea ban. It was the first time I heard of it."

It's a good thing.

When the sea ban was abolished, he and Wang Jinghong took the opportunity to launch the "Earth Round Theory", which is likely to set off a situation of overseas trade for the whole nation, and the benefits it brought to the Ming Dynasty were immeasurable.

Those private businesses found that the earth was round and overseas trade was extremely profitable. In order to find more markets, private caravans could go out to sea crazily. Do you think South America and North America will be discovered by the Ming Dynasty?
