Chapter 1632
The initial transportation construction plan did not include bridge building. After all, in this era, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River are absolute natural moats among people's inherent beliefs. Probably no one has thought of building bridges across the moats on these two rivers.
But Ying Yi came forward.
Building a cross-river bridge is indeed extremely difficult, but with gold alloy materials and engineering Origin Item equipment, it may not be impossible to build.
So I asked the Ministry of Industry to consider this first and see if it can come up with a charter.
Hearing this Song Yingxing said: "Your Majesty, to build a bridge across the river and sky, it must be impossible, but also some difficulties need to be solved urgently."
"oh?" Ying Yi Nodding lightly: "Song Qing tells it."
Song Yingxing said: "This small official has discussed this with several master bridge builders. To build a bridge across the sky, gold Meta-alloy bridge columns, bridge frames, and bridges are then laid with alloy plates, and then soil and gravel are laid on them. The Origin Item is used to condense them into flat stone paths. In this way, an extremely strong bridge can be built."
Ying Yi said with a smile: "So what is the embarrassment?"
Song Yingxing said: "Your Majesty is wise, the difficulty lies in the laying of bridge pillars and other frames. Your Majesty is wise. Majesty, the bridge across the sky, the magnificence of the project is based on the solidity of the gold alloy. The bridge pillars are also several hundred feet long and half a foot thick. How to insert such a huge bridge into the bottom of the river is impossible with manpower. Therefore. The minister asked Your Majesty to set up this project in the Origin Qi Hall to study related Origin Items. When such Origin Items are created, the bridge can be built to solve the problems beyond the reach of manpower."
Ying Yi Said: "Well, what Song Qing said is very true."
Song Yingxing said again: "Your Majesty, this matter is not urgent. When the main trunk Grand Dao needs to be built, it will be at least this winter. Before and after, the Origin Qi Hall had enough time to delve into the relevant Origin Items."
Ying Yi said with a smile: "of course." then said: "Road construction only needs to be spread according to the plan, and the manpower for bridge building cannot be In addition, it must be resolved when necessary. The Ministry of Industry does not need to worry about this. It only needs to come up with a specific bridge building plan."
"Follow the order of the emperor!"
Song Yingxing Ying, then said: "Your Majesty shines thousands of miles away, apart from this, the Ministry of Industry intends to fully recover the three metals of non-governmental gold, silver and copper on a large scale, and increase the mining of such minerals. The empire should build on this The demand for such raw materials is increasing, so I have to take precautions."
Ying Yi said: "Later, Song Qing presented it to Yi Ge in the form of a memorial."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Imperial Court Great Assembly of Great Xia lasts for half a month. During the half month, the empire must accumulate many problems that need to be solved, so Song Yingxing After retiring, Huang Zongxi, minister of the Ministry of Rites, presented the memory report.
"Your Majesty, the education system has now been fully rolled out in Hebei, Central Plains, Jiangnan, Guanzhong, and Sichuan and Sichuan. Please Your Majesty impose legislation..."
For commoners, knowledge is indeed expensive. It is not that commoners do not want their children to go to school, but it is a matter of choice-in the choice of farming, making money and enrolling in school, more commoners choose the former.
In this era, when a child grows up to 7-8 years old, he has to take on some farming duties. From 11-12 years old, it was used as a strong labor. Nowadays, commoners have an average of 20 acres of land per capita, and the labor force at home is even more critical. Therefore, many commoners are more willing to let children work in farming instead of enrolling in school.
After all, the benefits of farming are visible to naked eye.
This is a huge obstacle to the spread of the education system. Therefore, the Sect Master’s Ritual Department, after internal discussions, submitted a letter to Ying Yi to enact legislation, which imposed strict restrictions on this.
The people's heart is like iron, and the official law is like a furnace. In the current situation, only legislation is the most direct way to solve this problem, and can liberate children from farming and enter the ocean of knowledge.
Ying Yi thought so and said: "Yes."
Then he said to Sun Wen of the court: "After the dynasty is dispersed, the court will draw up a charter in advance."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Wen went out to pray.
Then Ying Yi said that the ministers said: "Cultivation here is the foundation of the empire. However, commoners choose the former between the visible benefits and the invisible future. The biggest problem is still labor. The empire’s Divine Province native land has 20 acres of land per person. If the empire was established, before the emergence of improved varieties, it would barely be possible to cultivate 20 acres of land. Now it’s not possible. Intensive farming, the second is that the output is too high and requires a lot of labor. It's no wonder that commoners keep the children in the family for farming."
"To solve this problem, labor is the first." Ying Yi said: " To increase the labor available to commoners, the first is slave."
Ying Yi said: "Allowing commoners to buy slaves for farming can reduce the demand for labor. The Yidi women captured from all frontiers are sold. It."
"In addition, you can start with business." Ying Yi thought: "commoners can't play with the fields in their homes. They can lease land that they can't reach to merchants. Liaodong can have large farms, and inland It’s not impossible. But here, there must be perfect legal constraints to prevent merchants from infringing on commoners and commoners entanglement with merchants."
"Whether it is selling slaves or land leases, the laws need to be perfected. In On this matter, the Muzhengyuan and the Royal Court need to come up with the articles of association as soon as possible."
Any matter of an empire cannot be considered alone. Often an agricultural issue will involve all aspects of issues, such as education, commerce, and so on.
Zheng Yunzhi and Sun Wen simultaneously went out to pray: "Follow the order of the emperor."
An Imperial Court Great Assembly, from the morning hour to the eve of night, with a short break at noon, The Muzhengyuan, the Royal Court, and even the military government have a large number of issues that need to be resolved at the Korean meeting.
But many problems have been resolved before the DPRK meeting. It's easy to handle it.
With the individual qualities of the Manchu dynasty civil and military, and the powerful divine soul power of Ying Yi, no matter the overall situation or the details, I will not be on a business trip.
There is a problem, to solve a problem, never wait for the next meeting.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, one after another imperial decree was issued from the Humanitarian Superintendent without mentioning it. Ying Yi left Yige Gechen and the chief officer of the Military Aircraft Department in the Imperial court of the Logistics Department, the Chief Officer of the Arms Department and the Chief Officer of the Ministry of National Security. Down.
"The empire is in the early stage, and all aspects of construction require the mobilization of a large amount of manpower and material resources."
Ying Yi spoke plainly and said: "No matter whether it is a problem with the Ministry of Industry at the meeting today , It is still more problems that are involved in the issue of the Ministry of Rites, and they are all related to this."
"In terms of material resources, the preparation of gold alloys requires a lot of raw materials. However, the mining of raw materials still involves manpower. The problem."
"The empire counts tens of thousands of miles from north to south, and even for agricultural production, manpower is insufficient. Therefore, it must be solved."
In the Imperial Study Room, Ying Yi looked at it. A group of important ministers said: "On this issue, the princes speak freely. If you have any ideas, just put them forward."
Don't look at the Great Xia Empire with a population of more than 100 million, but it is not enough right now. This is also impossible. In some respects, Ying Yi knew that she might be impatient. Many major projects have been launched together. To be honest, if it weren't for the Origin Qi plan, it would be dozens of times more brutal than Sui Yang Imperial Capital.
