Ministers are actually people who are constantly balancing reality and the emperor.

Take industry and commerce as an example. In fact, many ministers do not want the court to focus on industry and commerce.

Because we are still an agricultural society, the country is still based on agriculture.

Even now, with the deployment of various facilities, agricultural harvests have been bumper year after year, and grain prices are frighteningly low.

But even so, agriculture is still the foundation of the country.

If everyone engages in industry and commerce for money and neglects agriculture, the court will fall into a food crisis in a few years.

At that time, would the people who were accustomed to making money still be willing to work hard and come back to farm?

But the emperor insisted on doing this, and as ministers, they had no choice.

He could only comply with the emperor's wishes once and do some tricks in secret.

Of course, this is not a bad thing.

For example, if the price of one stone of grain is four qian, then the current salary for one person per month, as stipulated by the imperial court, is about four qian.

A person needs to consume at least two stones of food a month. If he lies at home and does not work, a little more than one stone will be enough.

In other words, if a person can't support himself alone with the money he makes in a month, let alone support his family by making money.

Therefore, the ministers secretly changed the concept and regarded making money through work as a auxiliary matter.

On the premise that it does not affect farming, the family will go out to make some money to subsidize the family, so that people will not rush to make money, thereby neglecting agriculture.

Ministers can certainly see what industry and commerce can bring to the court, but they care more about the stability of the country.

Wang Ji's entire back was wet, out of pure fright.

After being silent before, six items were suddenly thrown out.

If there weren't three high-ranking officials fanning the flames, he wouldn't have done it in a hurry.

Of course, I can still do it, but I won’t be so reckless.

Wang Buxu looked at the several project documents in his hand and couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

Is this about to start progressing towards the rudimentary mechanization era?

Is this going to start the Han industrial revolution?

Although it is recognized historically that the Industrial Revolution began with the steam engine.

But if we really count, it can only be said that the emergence of the steam engine brought the industrial revolution to a peak and completely opened the last hurdle.

The first project is to use a hydraulic forging machine as an introduction, modify it, and use hydraulic power to complete the production of various lines, so that it can be processed automatically.

In contrast to today, every thread is twisted by hand, the speed is very slow, and great care must be taken, otherwise it will be easily broken.

If this project is successful, Dahan's cloth prices will definitely drop by more than ten times.

The second project also uses a hydraulic forging machine as an introduction. After modifying it, it can use hydraulic power to replace manual work and complete automatic weaving.

This concept is so advanced that it is absolutely necessary. Even two thousand years later, it will still be absolutely advanced, and it will still be a world-class advanced technology.

(Don’t be impatient, it’s 202 BC now, and two thousand years later it will be around 1798.)

The third project is even more awesome. Mechanized mining is difficult now, but mechanized transportation is still achievable.

The representative is the cable car, which now requires a large number of livestock to provide power, so there are a large number of livestock on every mine, and the number of people eating, drinking and urinating is not a small number.

This design uses water power to power the cable car, thus freeing up livestock so that they can be put into agricultural production.

The latter two projects appear to be two, but are actually one project.

The two projects will conduct on-site inspections in Shu County and Jiangxia County respectively to study why the yield of some farmland there is higher than that in other places.

Although everyone says that the land there is good and fertile.

But the fertility will always run out. It is puzzling that the yield has been high every year for decades.

Their plan is to find out the reason and then see if they can increase production in other areas of Dahan.

"Your Majesty, if these projects can succeed, firstly, they can improve the existing efficiency, and secondly, they can free up a large amount of labor so that they can be used in other places. Moreover, the cost is actually not high, but it may consume some materials.

, occupying some production capacity..." Wang Ji said with some fear, having already scolded all the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the three high-ranking officials in his heart.

Damn it, why do you want me to come up with this crazy idea?

Forget about the thunder, you still haven’t shown up.

Why should we claim that this is a matter of the Academy of Sciences and it is inconvenient for the three provinces to participate?

Pooh!

You are just afraid of being picked on...

"Well, I'm sure, but we can't take up too much production capacity. After we go down, let them each report the budget they need, and then discuss it with the Ministry of Industry." Wang Buxu nodded directly and agreed.

There is no reason not to agree!

Can you refuse such a good thing?

That can't be done!

As the wheel of history rolls forward, a large amount of mechanization will inevitably leave a large number of laborers at a loss and will inevitably eliminate more people.

But the problem is that if you don’t do this, others will surpass you.

It's okay to stick to the rules, but your thinking must not be outdated or backward. After all, if you fall behind, you will be beaten.

The next journey will last for a year, although Wang Buxu also knows that a year is a long time.

But he had to go on this trip, and on this point, Wang Buxian had the same idea as the three others. Before leaving, he had to do something. He couldn't wait until everyone was free after he left.

, if you have nothing to do all day long, the country will be in chaos...

Of course, after these things are industrialized, will no one be able to use them?

In fact, I don’t have to worry about this king not being hungry, they are just some basic basic versions.

It's not a CNC computer operation. It only takes ten days and a half of training to basically get started. It won't even take a year, and the production capacity will skyrocket.

"Um...Your Majesty, I think this project can be used as an assessment for them..." Wang Ji hesitated again.

At first I thought they were not good enough, but this project surprised Wang Ji.

Even he himself didn't expect that his students would already have such a level, which was an eye-opener for him.

Wang Buxu smiled slightly and said: "If you do a good review, you must have real materials!"

"No!" Wang Ji's face suddenly lit up with joy. It seemed that His Majesty was thinking the same thing as him, and he could see that these students had some talents.

The satisfied Wang Ji left the meeting hall with a happy face.

Zhang Buyi, who had been beside him, had a gloomy face and said: "Your Majesty, I am not saying bad things about anyone secretly. Although his disciples also studied in Luoyang Academy, they have never experienced the imperial examination. If they directly

Isn’t it hard to explain why he was hired?”

"Is there anything you can't explain?" Wang Buxu looked at him with wide eyes and said disdainfully: "Although the Academy of Sciences has official ranks, there is no registration list in the imperial examination. The admissions of Academy of Sciences personnel are not directly from the academy. As long as there are genuine
