Iron Dynasty

The sky was getting dark, and the lanterns in the row were lit one by one by the eunuchs, giving off a dim yellow color.

Wang Xuan and Li San were excited because of Xiao Ming's analysis, and Wang Xuan's face was flushed, The emperor said very much that most of the food and grass in the Japanese country arrived in Korea from the mainland of the Japanese country by sea. The army in Goryeo will be trapped to death, the emperor wants to establish a trading port in Goryeo, and he can use this to negotiate with Goryeo and Japanese, so that we can profit from both sides.”

Xiao Ming smiled. For him, all he needed was the market of Goryeo, and he was not interested in occupying Goryeo.

Because once it falls into a land war, the consumption of the war will be huge. Now that the industrialization of the six states has just begun, he does not have sufficient materials and money to occupy a country.

In fact, in the colonial war in the age of sea voyages, none of the Western powers completely occupied the colonies.

In fact, they only established a small number of ports in the colonial countries, signed unequal treaties, used these ports as export places for commodities, and then threatened the colonial countries with force to formulate policies in line with their interests.

During their occupation, they generally do not interfere too much in the internal affairs of colonial countries, and only support the powerful and powerful who represent their own interests to rule the colonies.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything. For example, Asan in India has completely become a colony of the United Kingdom, but even so, the United Kingdom does not participate in too specific national affairs, but only sucks the economic resources of this region back to the United Kingdom like blood sucking. State management is still too lazy to care.

Therefore, the fundamental purpose of colonization is to obtain economic benefits from the colonized country, not to occupy the land. Once the cause and effect are reversed, perhaps it only needs to fall into the quagmire of a country's war to bring down the country.

The longer Xiao Ming stayed in the position of the emperor, the more he could appreciate the limits of a country's power. It is already very difficult to project power around the world, and a full occupation is even more difficult, so he decided to take the UK first. Colonization in the form of primitive capital accumulation, after all, nothing can be done without money.

After pondering for a while, he said to Wang Xuan: It's still early, there's no war, neither Goryeo nor Japan will talk to the Great Yu Kingdom. You have the secret guards in Goryeo keep an eye on Goryeo's news and keep you informed at any time. Send it back.

Yes, Your Majesty. Wang Xuan nodded.

After talking about the news of the Secret Guard, Xiao Ming continued to ask, How is your investigation into the bombardment of the Dreadnought?

Back to the emperor, the officer sent back information from Nagasaki's eye line. On the second day after the Dreadnought was shelled, a British warship arrived in Nagasaki, Japan. This British warship is said to be called the Duke.

Sure enough, I went to the Japanese country. Xiao Ming looked at the Japanese country on the map. The history is always surprisingly similar, and now Xiao Ming deeply understands this.

The Japanese country in this time and space has established a powerful firearms force with the help of the Dutch. Now the British once again extended an olive branch to the Japanese country for only one purpose, which is to use the Japanese country to balance the balance of East Asia.

Have you heard of their specific cooperation? Xiao Ming asked.

No, the British went ashore and went to see Nobunaga Yamada directly, and we couldn't get in touch. Wang Xuan felt a little regretful, but the eyes of the Japanese were often maritime businessmen, and it was impossible for them to go to the top.

Your Secret Guard should increase your investment in the Japanese country, and even establish a professional meticulous work, and even allow some Japanese people to act as meticulous works through bribes. Xiao Ming reminded.

In contemporary times, the Japanese country is very good at espionage warfare, and between each war, the Japanese country will always send a large number of spies to collect intelligence.

It is said that the maps of the Japanese during the Anti-Japanese War were even more detailed than the maps of the national army.

Coming from modern times, Xiao Ming naturally cannot give this advantage to the Japanese country, so he has to start a spy war in advance to collect all-round Japanese intelligence.

Wang Xuan was a little embarrassed, he said: Your Majesty, the lower officials also think, but this money...

Xiao Ming was a little embarrassed when he heard the words. Although he had a lot of ideas, he couldn't do it without sufficient money.

Thinking of this, he became more and more determined to set up an industry and colonize the world.

After coughing, he said to Wang Xuan, I will try my best to allocate some silver taels to you.

Wang Xuan showed a look of joy.

After giving Wang Xuan a reassurance, Xiao Ming looked at Li San, and he said, Li San, this reform will be implemented immediately, you are keeping an eye on the few giants in Qingzhou, if they are playing a fool, you will Report to me immediately.

Yes, Your Majesty. Li San nodded.

After reporting the information, the two congratulated Xiao Ming before going back. Now the news of the Queen's birth of a dragon child has spread throughout Qingzhou City.

At this moment, officials and businessmen from Qingzhou, large and small, sent people to congratulate them, sending gifts one by one to the Xingyuan.

After a busy day, Xiao Ming was also a little tired. Now that it was getting late, he returned to the bedroom. Fei Yue'er was a little weak now, but he wanted to accompany her more.

After a night of rest, Xiao Ming got up early the next day. The reform was carried out by Fiji and Pang Yukun, and his task was to promote the establishment of the industrial system and the development of science and technology.

For him, the development of Qingzhou, whether it is military technology or civilian technology, is abnormal, because everything in the past five years has only served the military, which has caused industrial capabilities to gradually fail to keep up with technological development.

For example, for this smokeless powder, although Lu Tong has mastered the production method, this kind of production still only stays in the laboratory production method, and the real industrial production cannot be realized.

In addition to this smokeless gunpowder, many chemicals in the laboratory are now unable to be mass-produced. This time Xiao Ming's reform is to establish corresponding workshops one by one to realize industrial production under steam power.

This includes not only the production of chemical materials, but also the industrial production of firearms and machinery. For him, the industrialization of Da Yu has fallen behind, and now is the critical period to catch up.

After all, the West has also developed a steam engine. With the industrial base of Western countries, once the steam engine is put into operation, the installation speed will be very fast.

After a simple breakfast, Xiao Ming put on a suit and went to the glass workshop. While reforming, he made a list of the technologies in the Great Yu Kingdom.

On this list, there are technologies currently available in Western countries but not in Da Yu. Now that Lin Wentao and others are busy with their feet, some things can only be done by the emperor himself, and he is quite good at it.

The first place he went to today was the glass workshop. A few days ago, he explained that the glass workshop produced the same tool, which should be manufactured by this time.

Although this thing has nothing to do with war, it is very beneficial to the development of science and technology.
