Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Ning Fan gave Shen Mengxi a few instructions and then walked into the Precision Machinery Manufacturing Bureau. As soon as he entered the manufacturing bureau, Ning Fan was shocked by the large and majestic production line. The workers were working on the production line. Precision machine tools came from the assembly line one after another. Up and down.

After a tour, Ning Fan seemed to have had a dream. He had only made the beginning of this era, but in just a few years, the speed of technological development in this era was enough to make Ning Fan stunned.

The change in the world comes from a butterfly fluttering its wings. The butterfly flutters its wings and triggers airflow, thus changing the entire world.

The changes brought about by Ning Fan after he traveled back through time are endless. Shen Mengxi is the person who has been most affected by Ning Fan. He has undoubtedly become the technological trendsetter of this era.

Shen Mengxi has made more expansions on the original structure of the basic knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry compiled by Ning Fan. In fact, Shen Mengxi has never stopped studying academic issues in the past two years.

As batches of young students gradually mature and their research abilities gradually improve, the basic knowledge that Ning Fan originally wrote is no longer enough to carry the knowledge map of this era.

"Now there are two requirements. If we produce something that is too highbrow, and the outside world does not have such a large consumption power, the goods we produce can only be accumulated. In fact, except for our Dakang, the world is absolutely "Most areas are still in a wild, primitive state."

"Except for the dignitaries in these areas who have the money to use most of the industrial products we produce, ordinary people simply don't have the spending power."

During dinner, Ning Fan proposed his idea to Shen Mengxi at the dinner table, which was to consolidate the industrial foundation and produce some products that sell well and can bring practical benefits to Dakang.

For example, the flagship products of Dakang Industrial Products at this stage, in addition to cloth, are various knives, matches, nails, etc.

Apart from this, kerosene is also a top seller.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are always the basic needs of human beings. Only when these basic needs are met, people will pursue higher levels of enjoyment. Therefore, at this stage, research is too much on things that are beyond the living standards of people in this era. These things are undoubtedly Can't be sold.

"But those basic industrial products, although we can manufacture them in large quantities, do not have any technical content."

Shen Mengxi frowned. He disagreed with Ning Fan's point of view. In Shen Mengxi's view, the technical threshold must be infinitely raised and the upper limit of technology must be continuously broken.

"You are right, but what we want now is funds and money. As long as we earn more money, we can support a huge team of researchers and the level of science and technology will continue to improve."

"Without money, everything is empty talk, so the most basic thing for us now is to make money."

"To make money, you must work hard in the four aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation. These materials will be continuously transported to many countries in the southern kingdom through the land Silk Road. These goods will be sold at low prices and quickly occupy the local market. market."

“Not only can a large amount of funds be withdrawn in a short period of time, but also the consumption habits of these areas can be cultivated. Over time, some handicraft industries in these places will be impacted and gradually ruined, and they will be unable to extricate themselves from their dependence on our well-off society. "

Ning Fan was so entranced by what he was saying that he simply put down his chopsticks and explained the principles to Shen Mengxi in depth, and Shen Mengxi became more and more entranced as he listened.

"According to His Majesty's instructions, our research direction now has two stages. The first is to continuously improve the power of weapons and equipment and enhance the combat effectiveness of our Dakang army. The other is to develop agricultural machinery."

After listening to Ning Fan's explanation, Shen Mengxi extracted two points from Ning Fan's words.

Ning Fan's first point of view is to make money, and to make money while standing.

Ning Fan's second point of view is to continuously improve the strength of weapons and equipment. At this stage, only with big fists can you convince people with virtue.

For example, in the struggle for hegemony between Dakang and England, Dakang is at a disadvantage at this stage. In the final analysis, Dakang is inferior to others in maritime skills.

The armored warships built by Dakang were easily penetrated by the enemy as if they were made of paper after encountering the English warships.

"According to what His Majesty said, we in Jiangzhou will definitely continue our efforts and see results in half a year."

Shen Mengxi solemnly promised Ning Fan.

Ning Fan didn't stay in Jiangzhou for long, but it was still seven days. In these seven days, Ning Fan had a comprehensive consideration and understanding of the current situation in Jiangzhou, and then he left Jiangzhou with satisfaction.

When the train started moving again, this time Ning Fan looked at Qingzhou on the map.

Qingzhou was the headquarters of the Dragon Scale Army, but now it has become the farmland of the Dragon Scale Army, with hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land waiting to be cultivated.

Just a few days ago, Ning Fan received a letter from Qin Ying, saying that a ship of sweet potatoes purchased by Qin Ying at sea had arrived in Qingzhou.

Ning Fan also actively responded to a letter to Qin Ying, asking Qin Ying to buy more sweet potatoes. These sweet potatoes will be used as seeds to quickly start planting in Qingzhou.

The question of how to breed and plant sweet potatoes is a piece of cake for Ning Fan. Cut the sweet potatoes into pieces and bury them in the sand. When they sprout, they can be cut out on rainy days.

When Ning Fan came to Qingzhou, dozens of tons of sweet potatoes had been piled up in the warehouse. Some of these sweet potatoes had been damaged by the high temperature. When Ning Fan saw this scene, he was angry and angry.

The sweet potato planting season is coming soon. If you let these seeds rot in the warehouse at this time, it will be a waste of time.

"Your Majesty, these sweet potatoes are going to rot. We have no choice but to watch helplessly! The prefect responsible for managing the warehouse came to the warehouse in person to keep an eye on them. He even slept in the warehouse at night. He treated these sweet potatoes like crazy. I’m more considerate than I am to my own wife, but there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Luo Yong also spoke favorably for the prefect of Qingzhou.

After all, Luo Yong was once a close minister around Ning Fan and could talk to Ning Fan. In addition, he had been staying in Qingzhou for a long time, and his relationship with the prefect of Qingzhou had become increasingly strong. Therefore, at this time, seeing Ning Fan wanted to question him , naturally I want to say a few good words for the Qingzhou magistrate.

"Hurry up and dig a cellar. These sweet potatoes must be hidden in the cellar so that they can be stored for a longer period of time."
