The Three Kingdoms

At the court meeting in the first half of the year, he set a huge strategy for the great development of Great Wu in the next three years. Only by letting Wu's national power explode to its peak can he be more confident and capable of conquering the Roman Empire.

"Have you seen that?"

"See!"

Sun Quan emboldened himself and said loudly, "I'm afraid that Liu Ziyang will fail!"

Liu Ye walked in quickly.

He bowed his head down, saluted and said: "Chen Liu Ye, I pay my respects to His Majesty, Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live, long live!"

"Zi Yang, there is no need to be polite, get up and sit down!"

Sun Quan came out from behind the imperial case, supported Liu Ye, and sat in the small living room next to him: "Come here, serve tea!"

"Your Majesty, I'm here this time..."

"Drink the tea first, and taste it. This is a new kind of tea that was discovered this year. The merchants in Dongzhi paid special tributes. The taste is sweet and mellow, which is very rare!"

Sun Quan quickly interrupted Liu Ye's words.

Liu Ye looked at it, and found that the king's speech was unacceptable, and it was not suitable for etiquette, so he picked up the tea and took a sip. The tea was really good, with sweetness in the bitterness, and a strong tea fragrance.

"Your Majesty, I..." After taking a sip of tea, Liu Ye began to get to the point.

"Zi Yang, how do you feel about this tea?" Sun Quan interrupted him here and asked following the sound.

Liu Ye frowned when he heard this, but he still replied: "Your Majesty, I think this tea has a unique fragrance, sweet and mellow taste, and it can be used as a tribute tea!"

"I think so too, it will be tribute tea in the future!"

Sun Quan said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I have something to do..." Liu Ye saw that the discussion topic of tea had passed, and continued to get to the point.

However, Sun Quan has a lot of tricks, so he quickly interrupted Liu Ye: "Zi Yang, you came just in time. Huang Chengyan from Lumenshan Academy presented some paintings for me to appreciate. I was thinking, he always Complaints against me are mostly because of reading my jokes and making fun of my talents, why don't you take a good look at me for me!"

Liu Ye is a smart man, and immediately understood Sun Quan's intentions.

A few black lines floated across his forehead, his face was dark, and he looked at Sun Quan with resentment in his eyes: "Everyone in the world knows that although Liu Ye, the minister of the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court, can draw a few fortification drawings, I don't know calligraphy and painting, I have the ability of Mohism, but I don't have the art of Confucianism, Your Majesty asked me to appreciate the masterpieces of Confucian master Huang Chengyan, are you trying to make fun of me?"

"Ha ha!"

When Sun Quan heard the words, he smiled embarrassingly, and said silently in embarrassment, "Actually, I am encouraging you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your encouragement!"

Liu Ye stood up, cupped his hands and said, "But can your majesty let me finish a sentence?"

"of course can!"

Sun Quan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to tell His Majesty a happy event!"

There was a hot light in Liu Ye's eyes, and his voice was swaying: "With Liu Hong, the deputy priest of the Ministry of Engineering, and Ma Jun, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, as the chief engineer, gather the students of the Institute of Engineering, the abacus students of Jinling Academy, and the Ministry of Engineering. Hundreds of research engineers, including craftsmen, have worked hard for nearly ten years, and we have successfully researched the steam engine!"

"what?"

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and quickly reacted, then stared at Liu Ye with wide eyes.

"Your Majesty, we succeeded!" Liu Ye was also a little excited. Although this research project was top secret within the Great Wu Dynasty, it has long been an undisclosed secret to invest nearly hundreds of millions of silver dollars in research funds. There are so many, but still can't be researched, many people complain about it, if it is not for Sun Quan's insistence on investing regardless of cost, I am afraid that it will have stopped now, and it can be researched at this time, for the Ministry of Industry, it is a turnaround campaign .

"You didn't say it earlier, why dawdling!"

Sun Quan started to drink excitedly.

"I wanted to say it, but you didn't give me a chance to say it, Your Majesty!" Liu Ye wondered in a low voice.

"This matter is serious, do you know that the crime of deceiving the emperor will be beheaded!" Sun Quan looked at Liu Ye with endless hope in his eyes.

When he first invested in this research, Sun Quan only provided a concept, such as a reciprocating power machine that converts the energy of steam into mechanical work. This is only a rough concept, and many technical problems need to be overcome. After all, he I don't have a background in research, so I only have advanced concepts, and there is no technology that can be directly sent up.

So he didn't have great hopes for whether he could develop a steam engine.

All he has to do is to start the road of research and development. As for whether it can be done, he can only resign himself to fate.

But the facts tell him that human wisdom is endless, as long as they are given a fulcrum, they can really lift the entire earth.

In the same way, as long as Sun Quan gave them a direction to move forward, they really overcame all difficulties and produced the research results Sun Quan wanted. This is a big event, a great event across the ages.

"Your Majesty, I dare not deceive you!" Liu Ye said, "I have personally inspected it, and the steam engine I made can meet all the requirements put forward by Your Majesty in the past, especially in terms of power!"

"it is good!"

There was an uncontrollable excitement on Sun Quan's face.

steam engine.

This was the beginning of the entire industrial revolution.

The earth was able to enter the industrial age more than 1000 years in advance and move towards the future development of science and technology. After all, he, Sun Zhongmou, created a great history that cannot be copied by the predecessors.

……

Long Ce three years.

The fifteenth day of the first month.

Sun Quan led the new cabinet minister Xu Shu, the cabinet minister Zhong Yao, and the Ministry of Industry under the protection of the three hundred guards led by Xu Kun, the new commander of the imperial guards, and the more than 100 dead warriors led by Gao Wang, the chief commander of the dark martial arts hall. Shangshu Liu Ye and Hubu Shangshu Xun Zhan went south along the waterway of the Grand Canal.

On the second day of February, the micro-service southern tour team, who traveled day and night to the south, entered Jinling City.

Although the imperial court has moved north to Chang'an, in fact, many important departments of the Great Wu Dynasty are still in Jinling City, such as the Institute of Engineering, such as the Firearms Research Workshop, such as the largest weapon manufacturing workshop...these vital departments are still Take root in Jinling City.

The Ministry of Engineering Academy was established by Sun Quan himself, and he also established a research center for the future development of Dawu.

In this era, the strongest craftsmen, mathematicians, and research inventors are gathered here. Indistinctly, several academies and lecture halls that can already be compared with the talent storage of the Great Wu Dynasty.

On that day, Sun Quan did not return to the Forbidden City, but went directly to the research base outside the city of the Ministry of Engineering.

The Institute of Engineering is the one that invests the most in the lecture halls of the major academies. It is not only an academy for talent reserves, but also serves as dozens of research and invention bases. It needs to invest at least 5000 million silver dollars every year. .

Today, the yearly taxation of the Great Wu Dynasty is less than [-] million silver dollars, and more than one-fifth of it is invested at once. It is conceivably extravagant. If it were not for Sun Quan's insistence, these so-called research bases would definitely not be able to survive.

"My minister Liu Hong (Ma Jun) pays his respects to His Majesty the Emperor. Long live Your Majesty!"

Sun Quan strode into the No. [-] research base of the Ministry of Industry, which was listed as a military forbidden area. The two leaders had already led countless craftsmen to greet him in front of the door.
