In the past, the common people did not have enough to eat, could not wear warm clothes, could not live in houses, and there were countless displaced people... But under the management of the current imperial court, it is not considered a very good life, at least there is no war. Threats, at least let them have enough to eat.

Everywhere has begun to equalize the fields, and basically every household is allocated fields. With fields, they can grow crops and live a stable life.

Such a court can make the people return to their hearts.

Even the people of the territory of Cao Wei back then have gradually begun to accept the title of the people of Great Wu.

Within a few days of the Spring Festival, the court was busy again.

On this day, Sun Quan walked out of the palace wearing an ordinary brocade robe and accompanied by two staff officers from the imperial study.

"rickshaw!"

"Masters, where are you going!"

"Working Academy!"

"okay!"

Sitting on the rickshaw, Sun Quan looked at the streets and alleys of Jinling City. The streets were full of rickshaws and bicycles, which made him feel like he had returned to the era of the Republic of China.

This is all his masterpiece.

He made the rickshaws and bicycles made by the Ministry of Industry Academy a tool to replace most carriages and horseback riding in major cities, because it is more convenient and faster.

"The Ministry of Industry Academy has arrived!"

Sun Quan got off the rickshaw, Guo Jia and Zhuge Jin got off the other two rickshaws one after another, Zhuge Jin dropped a silver dollar, and several rickshaw drivers dragged the rickshaw away with smiles on their faces.

One silver dollar is a lot of income for many people. After all, the development of the entire Great Wu Dynasty is just at the beginning, and the monthly salary of a relatively good person is only about ten silver dollars. Even for officials, it is only thirteen or four Silver dollars for a month only.

"Your Majesty, I don't even know the development of Jinling City!" Zhuge Jin sighed.

"Don't talk about you, I don't even know you!"

Sun Quan stood at the gate of the Ministry of Engineering and said, "This is the work of the Ministry of Engineering!"

The Academy of the Ministry of Industry is an academy led by the Ministry of Industry. Although this academy is not as famous as Jiangdong Academy, Jinling Academy, and Lumenshan Academy, it has an irreplaceable influence on the development of the entire Great Wu. .

"My humble minister Liu Ye, see Your Majesty!"

Liu Ye had been waiting at the gate of the academy for a long time. His face was very thin, and he was a little haggard. He probably hadn't gotten out of the corruption and fraud case in September.

Among the major cases, the Ministry of Industry was the first to bear the brunt.

Although he didn't get involved, as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he has the main responsibility. For this reason, he also lost his position as a cabinet minister, but only retained the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"Zi Yang, you haven't breathed a sigh of relief yet!" Sun Quan patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Do you think that you have done nothing wrong, but you are punished too unjustly?"

"Your Majesty, I don't think so!"

Liu Ye shook his head: "The minister is just blaming himself a little bit. He didn't know people well, which damaged the court and humiliated the Ministry of Industry!"

A servant of the Ministry of Industry he selected actually became the leader of this embezzlement and fraud case, making the entire Ministry of Industry almost unable to lift its head in the imperial court.

"People are chosen by you, and the whole responsibility is your own responsibility!"

Sun Quan said calmly: "I believe in your ability. You have already surpassed many people in terms of craftsmanship, but it cannot be denied that as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the first thing you need to do is to learn how to employ people. This time you used the wrong person. You must be taught a lesson!"

"This humble minister has failed His Majesty's expectations!"

Liu Ye lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"It's impossible for people not to do wrong things!" Sun Quan shook his head: "I don't mind if you do wrong, as long as you can correct your mistakes, the Ministry of Industry is the one I value the most. I don't have the position for you to let me dismiss the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. You should know what I expect from you!"

"My minister must be careful in the future, and will never let His Majesty down again!"

"All right!"

Sun Quan patted him on the shoulder: "Take me to see the latest results of the laboratory!"

"promise!"

Liu Ye took Sun Quan to the most secret area of ​​the Ministry of Industry Academy.

"Kan Ze, welcome to Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!" A young man in his early thirties, with dozens of elites from the Ministry of Industry, was studying a huge object.

"No need to be polite!"

Sun Quan looked at this ancient locomotive, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Steam engine, steam engine, you are about to be born!"

The research on the steam engine started from the day when the Ministry of Engineering Academy was established.

For several consecutive years, nearly tens of millions of silver dollars have been invested, and several academies' elites have been mobilized. Even Sun Quan has participated in countless researches, and now it has formed a prototype.

This will be the beginning of the Dawu Industrial Revolution.

"Your Majesty, I still can't do it!"

Kan Ze said with his head downcast.

He is currently the person with the best weight in the entire Great Wu Dynasty, and the weight is Arabic numerals, which means that he is the best mathematician in the entire Great Wu.

"What's the problem?" Sun Quan asked after walking around the entire giant steam engine.

"There are a lot of questions!"

Kan Ze has the madness of the inventors of later generations. In terms of research topics, he can't care about Sun Quan's status as emperor. He once said: "You say that you use steam to expand and push the piston to do work, but we have done a lot No amount of research can turn steam into power!"

"What's wrong?"

Sun Quan was not an inventor. He proposed a principle from the knowledge of later generations. As for whether he could make a real thing based on this principle, he himself could not guarantee it.

"I've checked it countless times, and I guess there's something wrong that we haven't found yet!" Kan Ze said.

"Continue to study, no matter how many times you fail, never give up, I must see the steam engine!"

Sun Quan said in a deep voice: "I will give you one more year. During this year, I will continue to invest 300 million silver dollars from the palace treasury so that you can concentrate on research. No matter what you need, you can provide it. come out!"

"promise!"

Kan Ze nodded respectfully.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

Guo Jia stood beside Sun Quan, squinting his eyes slightly, looking at the huge object in front of him, he inevitably became a little confused.

"Don't underestimate this thing, it will be the future of my Great Wu!"
