Awakening ability

Chapter 273 Industrialization Process

The Golden Wheel of Merit is a very wonderful thing. It doesn't seem to bring any actual benefits, but it can make people's luck better.

Without the existence of the golden wheel of merit and virtue, Fang Hao would not have been able to obtain that fortune during his last trip to Qingmang Mountain.

It is very difficult to obtain the golden wheel of merit.

The first round requires the most devout prayers from 100 million people.

The second round will require the most devout prayers of 1000 million people.

In the third round, it will require the most devout prayers of [-] million people.

Just praying is not enough, we need the most devout prayer.

This difficulty is too great.

Fang Hao let the "Taiqiu Newspaper" go all out to publicize his great achievements. Of course, it also meant to clear the way for his own administrative ideas, but the most important purpose was to obtain the golden wheel of merit.

He didn't just want to do practical things, he also asked for fame.

Now his system's charity value has exceeded 6000 billion yuan, which represents his donation to this country.

That's not all he contributed, just a small part of what he contributed to this country.

The greater contribution is to promote industrialization, allowing many farmers who are struggling to make ends meet to become workers, earning more rewards than farming, and allowing many struggling families to live a prosperous life.

In recent years, the number of people receiving literacy education in Taiqiu has exceeded [-] million, accounting for about one-fifth of the total population of Taiqiu.

With the implementation of comprehensive education soon, more people will have the right to receive education.

These are the benefits that Fang Hao brought to them.

But if Fang Hao didn't say these benefits, those people really didn't know that Fang Hao brought them to them, and they would think it was the kindness of the court.

This Fang Hao couldn't bear it, he had to explain clearly.

Moreover, if some benefits are not seriously explained to them, they will not think that it is a benefit, but will think that it is a burden on them.

For example, if an industrial group compulsorily provides night shifts for all workers to literacy, some people will think that their right to rest is violated, and they will sacrifice their rest time to learn some useless things.

It is necessary to give them a good explanation, let them know what it means to change fate with knowledge, let them understand that knowledge is power, and only by mastering knowledge can they have a better life.

Of course, it is inevitable that some people will not take it seriously, but most people with normal thinking still know how to be grateful.

Not everyone has the ability to repay a kindness, but at least normal human beings have the ability to be grateful.

Under such continuous publicity, Fang Hao's reputation among the people is getting higher and higher.

There are many people who are grateful to Fang Hao, and this number has already exceeded [-] million.

It's just that not all those who are grateful to Fang Hao will send him the most devout blessings.

He also worked in this country for more than ten years before he received the most devout blessings from a population of 1000 million and condensed the second round of the golden wheel of merit.

If you pay, you will be rewarded.

Fang Hao is working hard to promote the industrialization process here. In addition to bringing himself a lot of charity value, he also has an unexpected return of the golden wheel of merit.

It also makes him more motivated.

In May of the [-]th year of Daye, Jiangnan Shipyard, a subsidiary of Taiqiu Industrial Group, was officially established. They were authorized by the Steam Research Institute, obtained the technology and qualifications for steamship production, and began to produce steamships.

This is also a sign that the shipbuilding industry in the secular world of Xuanling Continent has shifted from wooden ships to steel ships.

In February 11, the oil exploration team organized by the energy company under the Taiqiu Industrial Group found a large oil field that was easy to exploit with the help of Fang Hao, and began oil extraction and refining.

Although the technology is quite primitive, and the quality of the refined products is not so high, this means that the development and application of internal combustion engines can be developed rapidly.

In June of the 11th year of Daye, Huang Tianba, who accepted Fang Hao's secret mission to investigate the countries south of Taiqiu, came back and brought news of the discovery of rubber forests in a certain country.

Fang Hao went there with Yao Xiaoxiao, and under the leadership of the country's national teacher, in the name of Yao Xiaoxiao, an elite disciple of the Xuandu School, he bought a piece of land covering an area of ​​nearly a thousand square kilometers for tens of millions of taels of silver. , recruiting personnel locally to build a super-large rubber plantation.

The total area of ​​rubber forests scattered all over the land has reached tens of square kilometers. If it is expanded, it will not take many years to be fully planted with rubber trees.

The number of employees recruited reached tens of thousands.

With the expansion of the scale in the future, the number of recruits will be more.

With rubber, tires can be made, just like cars are not made so quickly, at least the wheels of the current carriage can be changed.

The wheels of a carriage in this world are all made of wood, which requires high technology, and is easily damaged. The load capacity is not good, and it runs violently, no matter whether it is carrying people or goods.

Replacement of steel wheels and rubber tires can greatly increase the load capacity and speed up a lot.

In addition, the production of bicycles can be put on the agenda.

That is not too difficult, existing technology can do it, just need a way of thinking.

What Fang Hao lacked the most was ideas.

In the first month of the 12th year of Daye, just after the new year, the Wujiang River has been excavated across the board, and the water network that radiates one-third of the Taiqiu country's land area has been penetrated.

Fang Hao asked the steel company under the Taiqiu Industrial Group to cast a thousand-ton iron statue based on Wu Mengmeng, and used the Chiyang sword to cut a mountain beside the Wu River as a monument, engraved the two characters "Wu Jiang", and engraved a An inscription of more than 800 characters written by the most prestigious literati in Taiqiu Kingdom records Wu Mengmeng's great achievements in digging the canal.

This is the name of eternal life.

It's not a matter of loneliness.

In March of the same year, ten [-]-ton steam freighters produced by Jiangnan Shipyard rolled off the production line and were delivered to Sihai Shipping Company, a subsidiary of Taiqiu Industrial Group, for official operation.

"Taiqiu News" made a full-page report on this.

In the following month, the operation of these ten steam cargo ships was followed up in each issue, which aroused domestic attention.

Two months later, Jiangnan Shipyard received orders for more than one hundred [-]-ton steam freighters from private capital.

The sense of smell of private capital is quite sensitive, and they can smell business opportunities from it.

In August of that year, the steam train developed by the Steam Research Institute was put on trial run, and five kilometers of track were specially laid for this purpose.

On the day of the test run, Emperor Daye brought the court ministers to watch it, and Fang Hao explained its operating principle and future prospects throughout the process.

At the end of the year, the Ministry of Railways was established and separated from the former Ministry of Communications.

In the 13th year of the great cause, "Taiqiu News" published the full text of the [-]-year plan of the Ministry of Railways-to build a railway network connecting every province and every state capital of Taiqiu within a hundred years.

This also means that the infrastructure construction of Taiqiu Kingdom has reached another level.
