The eldest prince Su Shu determined the direction of industrial development.
He wants to build a new factory powered by electricity.
The eldest prince Su Shu summoned a team of staff to make a plan for the industrial zone based on his ideas.
He was responsible for going to the Qianqing Palace to explain his ideas to his father and ask for talents and policies.
Without the support of my father and relying solely on the capabilities of Shuntian Mansion, it would be impossible to build a huge industrial zone out of thin air.
Only when the plan for the industrial zone comes true can the eldest prince Su Shu find the Royal Academy of Sciences and various universities to implement the technology in the laboratory.
Only after setting a good example can it be convincing and convince others to invest in industrial zones.
Su Shu planned it and he immediately started taking action.
He was waiting in the pavilion outside Qianqing Palace, where Emperor Su He was discussing important matters of state with important officials of the imperial court.
Su Shu is not qualified to enter the Qianqing Palace to discuss state affairs.
Only when he becomes the prince of the empire can he enter the center of power of the empire.
Su Shu quickly waited until the imperial meeting was over and saw familiar officials walking out of the Qianqing Palace.
These officials saw the eldest prince Su Shu waiting in the pavilion.
They came over to say hello one after another, and Su Shu responded politely.
These officials did not stay long, they immediately left Qianqing Palace.
Su Shu went outside the Qianqing Palace and found Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi who was arranging affairs.
"Eunuch Zhou, do you have time now? I have something to ask you to see my father."
Zhou Fangzhi immediately smiled and said: "Eldest Prince, I will go in immediately to question Your Majesty."
If he were an ordinary person, Zhou Fangzhi would never let him disturb His Majesty.
But this is the eldest prince Su Shu, His Majesty's eldest son.
Although the empire is no longer a system of inheritance by the eldest son, the eldest son still has a huge advantage.
The eldest son is the son of the legitimate mother. No one in the palace knows the power of Queen Wang Wenjun.
After Zhou Fangzhi entered the Qianqing Palace, he came out soon.
With a bright smile on his face, he said respectfully: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has free time now, please come in.
I still have some things to deal with, so I can’t continue to accompany you.”
With a smile on his face, Su Shu thanked Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi, opened the door and walked into Qianqing Palace.
He saw his father staring at the map on the desk and thinking.
Su Shu waited aside until his father finished thinking and looked at him.
He then bowed slightly and said in salute: "Father, as the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture, I cannot live up to my father's trust and want to make some contributions to the fellow villagers of Shuntian Prefecture.
I have planned an industrial zone in Shuntian Prefecture and asked my father for advice."
After Su Shu finished speaking, he took out the memorial he had written in advance and handed it to his father with both hands.
Emperor Su He took the memorial, opened it and read the contents carefully.
The contents of this memorial do not contain the specific physical objects of the establishment of the industrial zone, but describe the goals of building the industrial zone.
This goal is indeed feasible, especially since Su Shu is interested in electricity.
Emperor Su He knew that electricity was the future and would definitely eliminate steam engines in factories.
The emergence of the steam engine was the first industrial revolution.
The emergence of electric motors and internal combustion engines marked the second industrial revolution.
The current technological level of the Dahua Empire, some technologies have surpassed the technological level of the first industrial revolution in the previous life.
However, the overall technical level still has not reached the technical level of the second industrial revolution.
Even so, building an industrial zone that uses electricity can promote the development of electric power technology and lay a solid foundation for the second take-off of the empire's industry.
Emperor Su He looked at the eldest prince Su Shu, a son who was very similar to him in appearance.
The eldest prince Su Shu's behavior and governance also have a trace of his influence.
After the eldest prince Su Shu became the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, the first major thing he did was to build an industrial zone.
This shows that the eldest prince Su Shu loves industry.
Emperor Su He put down the memorial and said: "It is still technically difficult to establish an industrial zone that uses electricity."
When the eldest prince Su Shu heard his father say these words, his face turned slightly pale. These were almost words of rejection.
Emperor Su He continued: "But Shu'er, your idea is very good.
Some technologies also need to be verified through practice to see whether they are feasible.
If you work behind closed doors, you can't do it.
I approved this experimental industrial zone."
The eldest prince Su Shu heard his father's change of attitude and agreed to his plan to build an industrial zone.
He immediately bowed and saluted: "I have thanked my father. I will definitely live up to my father's trust and build this industrial zone."
Emperor Su He smiled and said: "Just do your best and I'm looking forward to Shu'er's performance."
The eldest prince Su Shu received an imperial edict from his father.
Taking this imperial edict, he went to the cabinet, the Ministry of Industry, the Royal Academy of Sciences, Hua Xia University and other places.
He coordinated the funding, technology and talent to establish the industrial zone.
If others can handle this matter, it can be done in two or three months, which is very fast.
The eldest prince Su Shu personally went to handle the matter, and the Prime Minister of the Cabinet Qian Mingyi, the Minister of Industry Jinyinhua, the President of the Royal Academy of Sciences Tian Jiapeng, and the President of Huaxia University Xu Qinqing personally accompanied them to handle related matters.
It only took him three days to get everything done.
The eldest prince Su Shu finished all his work and returned to Shuntian Mansion Office again.
He immediately called a meeting with his subordinates to discuss the details of the industrial zone and assigned tasks to his subordinates.
In the lobby of Shuntian Government Office, all the magistrates below gathered together.
Among them, Du Huaiyun, the magistrate of Tongzhou, and Li Changxi, the magistrate of Shunyi, were the most excited.
These two counties are both large counties in Shuntian Prefecture. Their biggest advantage over other counties is that they are connected by railway.
Magistrates in remote areas such as Fangshan County and Miyun County all know that this opportunity is slim, but they must try their best to achieve this political achievement.
The eldest prince Su Shu walked into the venue with Zhou Baixin, who had officially become his master.
After his arrival, the noisy venue immediately became quiet.
Everyone's eyes were turned to the eldest prince Su Shu.
All the county magistrates have always wanted to work with the eldest prince Su Shu.
Once the eldest prince Su Shu really ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, they will be the ministers of Qiandi and will definitely be reused in the new dynasty.
This is an opportunity to reach the sky in one step, and no one wants to give it up.
Master Zhou Baixin unfolded a map of Shuntian Prefecture in front of him, with railways and rivers highlighted.
The eldest prince Su Shu pointed to Tongzhou and said: "The industrial zone must not be established in the capital.
The price of purchasing the land will directly bankrupt Shuntian Mansion.
After careful consideration, our government chose to establish an industrial zone in Tongzhou.
Industrial zones must be built in areas with developed transportation.
This place cannot lack water, and Tongzhou is the most suitable location."
The eldest prince, Su Shu, made the final decision when he came up and directly chose to establish an industrial zone in Tongzhou.
As he said, the most suitable area in Tongzhou City.
In the empire's railway network, the capital was one of the important hubs.
But most people don’t understand that Tongzhou is a railway freight hub. A large number of freight trains will not directly enter the capital and affect the huge passenger trains in the capital.
Tongzhou is also an important port on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, goods here can be transported directly to the south of the empire at low cost by water.
Industrial zones are built in places with developed transportation. Whether it is purchasing raw materials or selling finished products, it is more convenient than other places.
Du Huaiyun, the magistrate of Tongzhou, glanced at his rival Li Changxi provocatively.
He clasped his hands in his fists and greeted Qiyu Magistrate happily, sharing the joy in his heart.
This huge political achievement hit him directly on the head. If he couldn't catch it, then he shouldn't be an official.
Du Huaiyun, the magistrate of Tongzhou, immediately stood up to show his loyalty.
"Thank you, the prefect, for trusting Tongzhou. On behalf of Tongzhou, I solemnly promise that I will go all out to cooperate with the prefect to build a good industrial zone."
The eldest prince Su Shu also smiled when he saw the statement of Du Huaiyun, the magistrate of Tongzhou.
After these few months of training in the officialdom, he knew that no matter how powerful a person was, he could not do anything well.
If you want to do something well, you must win over a group of people and cooperate to get the thing done.
He is now using his interests to win over Du Huaiyun, the prefect of Tongzhou.
Of course, the other magistrates also have a role to play, to truly unite the forces of Shuntian Prefecture and promote the construction of the industrial zone.
The eldest prince Su Shu looked at the other magistrates who looked a little depressed and said: "The construction of an industrial zone cannot be completed by Tongzhou County alone.
The industrial area built by this government is different from the previous industrial areas of the empire. Operating the machines here requires higher knowledge.
To work in a factory as a worker, an illiterate person will definitely not be able to do the job. You must have a primary school education.
The industrial zone also requires a large amount of raw materials, many of which can be produced in Shuntian Prefecture.
Using local raw materials, transportation is convenient and the quality is reassuring.
Raw materials and workers, this is your job.
If you handle this matter well, I will definitely give you a reward."
When Li Changxi and other county magistrates heard that Tongzhou was eating meat, they were able to drink soup together, and smiles immediately appeared on their faces.
If you do this well and get the appreciation of the eldest prince Su Shu, you may not be worse than Du Huaiyun in the future.
The eldest prince Su Shu saw that the eyes of these officials became bright, and he was completely relieved.
Only by binding everyone together through interests can we work together to accomplish one thing.
…………………………
Master Zhou Baixin brought a cup of tea and handed it to the eldest prince Su Shu who was wiping his sweat.
"Sir, have a cup of tea to relieve the heat."
The eldest prince Su Shu has been busy for a long time, and now he is thirsty.
He took the tea cup from Zhou Baixin's hand and drank the tea in large gulps.
When the eldest prince Su Shu was drinking tea, he heard a violent air whistle sound coming from ahead.
The forklifts and cranes that are spraying large amounts of steam are cooperating with each other to install various equipment in the open space ahead.
This heavy machinery also needs to hold a huge boiler behind it to provide power for the machinery.
They may seem bulky, but they are essential machines on the construction site.
A huge crane can lift dozens of tons of weight.
Such a heavy thing cannot be lifted by human power alone.
Su Shu looked at Xu Qinqing, the president of Huaxia University, who came to the construction site to check the situation.
He asked expectantly: "Sister Shaoyao, look at these heavy construction machinery.
They had to connect a large boiler at the rear, which looked very bulky, and they also needed to send a special person to constantly add coal to the boiler.
Air leaks often occur in the pipes connecting the boiler and the cylinder block on construction sites.
High-temperature and high-pressure steam leaks out. If there are workers nearby, they will be killed or injured.
When I see this situation, I always think of Professor Jiang Qing’s internal combustion engine.
Diesel works in the cylinder, and all pressure is borne by the internal combustion engine cylinder.
This kind of machinery does not require an external boiler, but only needs a small mailbox. The machinery will become smaller and more exquisite, and even more powerful than the current machinery.
If the internal combustion engine is successfully developed, it will inevitably replace the steam engine machinery on the construction site.
I hadn't realized the important role of the internal combustion engine before.
Now when I see these steam engine equipment, I think of the cars running on the street.
Only then did I realize that steam engines are very useful."
President Xu Qinqing said helplessly: "Professor Jiang Qing has worked very hard, but the scientific research process is full of uncertainties.
Maybe there is no movement for two or three years, or maybe a flash of inspiration occurs and the project will be successfully developed tomorrow.
I don’t know how long it will take for the internal combustion engine project to be successfully developed.
But I know that as long as the court continues to invest, the internal combustion engine project will definitely succeed if there are no problems with the prototype."
When the eldest prince Su Shu heard what Sister Shaoyao said, he took a reassurance.
He is still young now and will definitely see the successful development of the internal combustion engine in his lifetime.
While the two of them were chatting, a crane lifted a piece of equipment weighing several tons. When it fell to the ground, the ground shook slightly.
The eldest prince Su Shu saw this huge device and landed safely on the ground without any problems.
Only then did he feel completely reassured that this equipment was the most important equipment in the entire industrial area.
The eldest prince Su Shu saw a bald middle-aged man slightly older than Xu Qinqing, about forty years old, directing the workers to install the equipment.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He finished his work and walked towards the eldest prince Su Shu and Xu Qinqing.
Su Shu first asked: "Brother Zhou Shenghai, has this equipment called a transformer been installed?"
Zhou Shenghai said confidently: "Don't worry! There will definitely be no problems.
My talent is not as good as that of Junior Brother Liu Dongliang, but following Liu Dongliang's strength and studying the application of electricity is not a problem for me.
After observation, I found that the power generation equipment is directly connected to the electrical equipment.
Because power generation equipment is prone to fluctuations due to various reasons, it can easily lead to damage to electrical equipment.
The emergence of isolation transformers will solve the problem of massive damage to motors in factories due to fluctuations in power plants.
Outside the specific factory building, a small transformer needs to be set up to adjust the power voltage of different electrical appliances."
The eldest prince Su Shu didn't understand much about technical issues.
The knowledge he learned was large and comprehensive, and he understood it systematically, but he did not understand the more in-depth knowledge at all.
But he knew how to respect scholars, and Zhou Shenghai, the most outstanding scholar in the electrical field in the empire, had given a guarantee, so he believed it.
The eldest prince Su Shu said in a relaxed tone: "The transformer is connected to the power plant, and the power problem has been solved.
During this period, factories were also built quickly, and there was not much time left before the first factory in the industrial zone was built.
Brother Zhou, you need to pay more attention to the situation in the industrial zone."
Zhou Shenghai said happily: "Leave these matters to me, there is no problem at all.
The technology for the application of electricity is already very mature, but today's businessmen rely on steam engines and are afraid to try new technologies.
I will definitely make the model in the industrial area beautiful and surprise everyone."
Zhou Shenghai couldn't compare to his outstanding senior fellow apprentices, his performance was even mediocre, but he was really unwilling to do so.
The eldest prince Su Shu established an industrial zone, which was his opportunity to rise.
Zhou Shenghai must let the world see that electricity represents the future.
