What's wrong with the binding eunuch system?

Not long after Mu Yuanyong sent the letter, the queen mother replied, she said: I hope so.

I hope that everything you said can be realized, and I also hope that the future Dayong in your eyes can be presented in the eyes of the world.

Mu Yuanyong didn't sleep that night. He looked at the starry sky and thought about those who were dead and absent. He didn't know why. He brought a jug of wine, but Kong Ji wasn't with him, so he didn't talk to anyone, so he sat alone in the yard surrounded by guards, and he didn't talk to them.

The wine is brewed here at the border, and it is extremely strong. The winter at the border is long and cold, and many people have nothing to keep warm. In winter, he felt that he should be able to feel it this year.

For a while, he has been moving towards his goal without taking a breath. Sometimes he has not thought about it, take a break, take a rest, don't let himself be so tense, but he always thinks that there is no time, next time Go back and rest, rest after finishing this thing, rest again tomorrow, and then forget it.

having fun?

never had.

Even drink less.

But today, he just wants to be alone, sitting here, looking at the starless night sky, drinking a glass of wine alone, no, a glass of wine may not be enough.

He wanted to let himself be drunk for a while.

He seldom thinks of his father, the resentment he felt for not pampering him, and the mother who is still hiding in his own world and pretending to be crazy. relation.

But now, he remembered it all.

He thought of his weak self, the mistakes he had made, his recklessness, and all the bad things that would not be valued by others now.

He had been like that too—he couldn't even remember it himself.

Did I change so much?

He thought so.

What will the future...be like?

The spicy wine burned down his throat, and he suddenly laughed: "What do you care about so much..."

He didn't know how long he drank that night, but by dawn, Zhang Liang was already standing in front of him holding a thick official document.

He said: "These are all sent by Wang Xu."

Mu Yuanyong said, "Put it aside."

Zhang Liang glanced at Mu Yuanyong with some doubts, and then heard him say, "When will winter come?"

Zhang Liang said: "The autumn tiger will continue to bark for a while. After half a month, the temperature will drop. Experienced people have already started to prepare cotton wool."

Mu Yuanyong hummed: "Can you offer it?"

Zhang Liang: "What?"

Mu Yuanyong: "Can you supply the cotton wool from door to door?"

Zhang Liang thought for a while: "There are some difficulties."

Mu Yuanyong hummed and said, "Bring everyone here, I have something to say."

Then all those who were still at the border, Mu Yuanyong's people came. They obviously hadn't finished their work, and their faces were in a hurry. Mu Yuanyong looked at them and thought of the people in his hands. It's still a little less, and I can't turn it around.

He said: "Let's recruit talents at the border now, and expand the departments one by one. Like before, you have experience in this matter... Yan Luo, but this time there will be more and more things. Let's do it this way... ..."

After another morning of talking, Mu Yuanyong stretched his waist and went to the workshop: "Cen Zishi, what is the daily output of the workshop now?"

Cen Zishi asked, "What kind of output are you talking about, Your Highness?"

Mu Yuanyong glanced at it: "It's the simplest, our new weapon."

Cen Zishi showed a sad face: "Like that kind of cannon, one can be produced every month, which means that the whole workshop has not been lazy and worked overtime to make it."

Mu Yuanyong nodded: "I understand."

Cen Zishi asked, "Is there any other way, Your Highness?"

"There is no way..." Mu Yuanyong said, "There is a new thing that must be released in advance."

"When the new batch of coal from Wu Kingdom arrives, we will start working here, but old Cen, your workshop is still a little smaller, and there are still a little less people."

Cen Zishi said: "Your Highness, it's not as simple as you think. This person can't eat, and he can't get paid for his work. Even if I want to recruit, I have to afford it, and I can't want everyone. The whole border town Almost everyone with a bit of craftsmanship has been recruited, and this is already the largest weapon workshop in Dayong."

"It's still a little small." Mu Yuanyong said.

Cen Zishi: "It's still small, how much does His Highness think is enough?"

Mu Yuanyong: "More than ten thousand."

Cen Zishi laughed: "That's not a workshop anymore, it's a city. Your Highness, it's not a small city. Like the stone city not far away, there are only a few thousand people living in it. Your Highness, do you know that 1 people live in it every day?" How much does the daily expenses add up to?"

Mu Yuanyong said: "Then do you know how much the output of 1 people is?"

Cen Zishi said: "The supply cannot be afforded, and the output is also false."

Mu Yuanyong did not speak.

He said for a while, "Yes, as long as that thing appears."

"Replacing human beings, an epoch-making item."

-

The day when the steam engine was really born is not far from winter.

Cen Zishi brought a thousand newly recruited people to welcome the epoch-making item that Mu Yuanyong said. They worked day and night, even with the drawings and instructions provided by Mu Yuanyong, they still tossed for several days and nights and produced countless failed products. , and finally got a successful result, and this result is not the final result that Mu Yuanyong said, but just the steam engine with flaws in the previous generations.

Mu Yuanyong rarely gave him a name: "Let's call it number one."

Cen Zishi felt that this name was too common.

He said: "It makes a booming sound, why not call it Tiger One?"

Mu Yuanyong glanced at him and felt that his name was not elegant, but seeing Cen Zishi's eyes, he suddenly laughed: "Okay, then it will be called Tiger One."

Therefore, the birth of Tiger One was recorded in the later history of Dayong as an epoch-making product, but because there were too many epoch-making products of that era, it seemed not as brilliant as his brothers behind him.

However, the emergence of the steam engine means that many related products can also be added to the plan. First of all, the most famous ones are trains and steam ships. A simple air pump can bring power, and some work beds created by it can greatly reduce labor costs.

From weaving to processing and construction...

Mu Yuanyong had already seen an empty place before he came here. He said, "From here, we will build Dayong's first factory."

"The first weapons factory, the first textile factory, the first food factory, the first processing factory, the first ship factory..." After he finished speaking, he looked to Zhang Liang, "I said, you Write it down."

Zhang Liang said: "I wrote it down, but Your Highness, is it really appropriate for you to start making your own historical records so early? Usually only the emperor can do daily life records."

Mu Yuanyong said: "Oh, by the way, I forgot, I still want to build a newspaper that only belongs to us... You also write this sentence, because of the civil strife in Wuguo, many people were conscripted to serve as soldiers, and the fields were also lost. No more, you send people to Wu country to recruit workers, the conditions don’t need to be too rich, just follow the normal way, after passing Wu country, go to Xin country, go to a place farther than Xin country, I want to use this gold for the bait of the world."

Zhang Liang said: "...All right, Your Highness, you are happy, but do we have that much money?"

Mu Yuanyong shouted: "Wang Xu! Where did Wang Xu die? Why can't my financial director see anyone every day?"

Zhang Liang sighed: "You just arranged things for Wang Xu, Director Wang should go to investigate the origin of the materials first."

Mu Yuanyong: "...... Isn't he my financial director? Just take care of my money. Why is he doing all these miscellaneous things?"

Zhang Liang: "..." You have to ask yourself this.

Mu Yuanyong said: "Oh, there is still a shortage of people... But there will always be some, if it doesn't work... I'll grab it!"

Not long after the steam engine appeared, Kong Ji came with a flint gun. He should have finished it a long time ago, but the steam engine delayed him for a while. With Cen Zishi and the others, they still lacked a little in all aspects. The accuracy of the parts, the control It's not as good as Kong Ji's.

After Kong Ji came over, Mu Yuanyong obviously felt that the burden on him was much lighter. He said, "If you don't come, I feel that everything is not going well. Once you come back, everything will go well."

Kong Ji said: "How can I be so powerful? If I were really so powerful, then you would have become the emperor of Dayong through the ages."

Mu Yuanyong said, "Aren't you working hard in this direction now?"

Kong Ji laughed at him: "You are making fun of yourself, you don't want to be the emperor at all."

Mu Yuanyong laughed haha: "It's not that I don't want to, but I think it's actually not that interesting. The current system puts everything on the emperor. Some things are convenient, but there are other disadvantages. There are too many. When something happens, it is said that it is the emperor's fault. There is a flood. It is the emperor who can't do it. He can't have a son. These have nothing to do with him."

Kong Ji laughed so hard that he couldn't even lift his waist: "I haven't seen you for a while, but you are getting more and more talkative."

Mu Yuanyong said: "It's not forced by these people."

"Oh? What's going on?" Kong Ji asked.
