Volume 2: Competition in the World Chapter 264: Tian Ren Enters the Cabinet

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    While everyone in the Qin Dynasty was still looking forward to watching or rejoicing over the two major events of the Medical Department and the Royal Medical Center, without most people noticing, dozens of branches of Wanli Driving Machinery opened on the 10th of the Second World War.  On February 15th of this year, at the same time, the fifty-six counties and cities of Daqin opened their doors for business quietly.

    There was no fanfare of congratulations, no deliberate publicity, everything was carried out in silence.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When the people of various counties woke up after the night of the National Day, they found that there were already many horse-drawn boxcars in the city branded with the characters and logo of "Wanli Traveling Shop".

    In just one night, Wanli Driving Shop could appear in the fifty-six counties and cities of Daqin at the same time and open for business on the same day. Except for Hu Hai, the second emperor of Daqin and the Holy Emperor, obviously no one in the world can achieve such a huge feat.  Finish.

    Hu Hai¡¯s Daqin transportation system, which has been laid out for several years, began to take shape as thousands of miles of traffic spread across all the counties and cities in Daqin.

    The steam locomotive at Handan Railway Station was successfully tested last year.  Although it only sprayed majestic white steam and ran less than fifty meters, it turned off and stopped moving.

    When Tian Dan and more than a hundred Mohist craftsmen saw such a scene, they were all frightened out of their wits and fell to the ground to apologize.  After receiving the news, the Emperor Sheng rushed all the way from Xianyang to Handan, but he lost control at the critical moment. How could he not make Tian Dan and others panic?

    This is the crime of deceiving the emperor!

    ??Perhaps it would only be frivolous to kill the Nine Tribes.

    Originally, Hu Hai thought that the steam engine head could be started and run ten meters, but he did not expect that the steel monster that seemed to be falling apart at any time actually spit out white steam and ran for more than fifty meters.

    Tian Dan and others are not clear, but Hu Hai is very clear about what this short period of fifty meters and one hundred steps means to today's Daqin, to the world, and to the entire human race.

    It is not clear whether it is true or false that Emperor Mi of the later generations landed on the moon, but the words said by the astronaut who landed on the moon, Hu Hai, thought it was very suitable for today's Daqin.

    Fifty meters may only be considered a small step.  But this steam locomotive was a big step that even Hu Hai had not thought of for mankind as a whole, especially for Da Qin.

    In his opinion, within ten or twenty years, even if he, an unreliable layman, could provide some guidance in certain directions, it would not be able to fundamentally change the overall immature nature of science and technology in this era. The steam engine  It can only be my own imagination.

    It¡¯s just that Tian Dan or the Mohist craftsmen gave Hu Hai too many surprises.

    Because at the Handan iron yard, Hu Hai then saw the main tool for making this simple and ugly steam engine head, the machine tool base.

    Hu Hai didn¡¯t know how these Mohist craftsmen made the mother machine made of wood that he gave them out of steel.  But you don't need to ask Hu Hai to know how much effort Tian Dan and others have put into this mother machine.

    A surprise compared to the steam engine head.  This half-steel, half-wood machine tool gave Hu Hai far more surprises than the unfinished steam locomotive.

    Only with this mother machine can it be possible to manufacture some large mechanical equipment such as lathes, milling machines, planers and grinders.  Once these equipment appear, Daqin's heavy industry can take off.  Only steel-cast artillery and even muskets were possible.

    But the giant mother machine told Hu Hai that Da Qin¡¯s extremely crude so-called mother machine was still too primitive.  Of course, everything starts with the first step.

    With this primitive mother machine as a starting point.  After more precise weights and measures are established and common, the mother machine will definitely evolve, becoming more advanced and more precise.

    There is a long way to go.

    The rails used to test the stability of steel materials were collectively deformed after a heavy snowfall in winter.  Since it is deformed, it means that the quality of the steel produced at the Handan Iron Works is still not up to standard.

    Fortunately, Hu Hai is not short of time.  Unless he dies suddenly, he can live for at least forty or fifty years.  Although forty or fifty years is not a long time, in Hu Hai's opinion, it is enough for him to squander.

    ¡°Wanli Xing is just the first step of Daqin¡¯s transportation system.

    It will take time for the steam engine head to be truly put into use and for the steel refined at the Handan Iron Works to withstand the test of time.

    The journey of thousands of miles spread across the Qin Dynasty.  Hu Hai then announced reforms to the Ministry of Industry at the court meeting.

    When Zheng Guo, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and Engineering, was old, the Holy Emperor Hu Hai specially granted Zheng Guo an official position and entered the cabinet to participate in politics.  After Zheng Guo resigned, Tian Ren, the former Right Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was immediately promoted to the new position.?Shang Shu.

    At the same time, the Ministry of Accounts established a new Commercial Department on the basis of the original four departments.  It is in charge of merchants and trade circulation throughout Daqin; the Household Registration Department is in charge of the household registration and naturalization of Daqin people.

    after all.  The target audience of the Royal Medical Center and the launch of various Daqin government decrees in the future will mainly be Qin people with Daqin household registration certificates, and not everyone can enjoy it.  At this time, there was not much concept of national borders, and there were not so many monitoring methods. The only proof that could be used was the household registration certificate issued by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

    It can be expected that a large number of people will flow into Daqin in the next few decades.  With Da Qin's current population base, Hu Haigen does not need to worry that Da Qin's population is not large enough. In less than fifty years, Da Qin's population will at least triple or even quadruple.  In this way, the outside population must be controlled to ensure that the rights and benefits enjoyed by the people of Qin are not encroached upon by outsiders.

    ?The Household Registration Department was set up specifically for this purpose.  Not only that, soon the various frontiers of Da Qin, especially the northwest frontier, must strictly verify and control the foreigners entering Da Qin and the Qin people leaving Da Qin.

    Tian Ren¡¯s promotion really caused quite a stir in the Great Qin court.  As expected by the courtiers, the emperor promoted important ministers to the cabinet in order to maintain the balance of the cabinet office.

    Although this method of entering the cabinet is different from what the previous courtiers imagined.  But I have to say that it is also the most appropriate.

    Tian Ren was promoted to Minister of Industry, and his entry into the cabinet was a foregone conclusion.  If we include Bianyu, the Minister of Medicine, who had already entered the Cabinet before Tian Ren and aspired to the position of Minister, hundreds of schools of thought and factions that were originally as insignificant as a lost dog have now occupied two pivotal positions in the Cabinet Office, the highest authority in the Qin Dynasty.

    The Mohist family was not the largest family among the hundreds of scholars, and the medical family was an insignificant group before.  Even these two people have joined the cabinet, so what about Kong Yu, the current Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Confucian leader of Zuo Cheng who actually presides over everything in the Imperial Academy of Qin?
