Yinzhen was slightly shocked and his expression suddenly became serious: "Tell me in detail, what does the prince mean to build a big ship for you?!"

Yinzuo made him feel a little nervous. Fortunately, there were only two brothers in the house. He still trusted the fourth brother who had been reliable since childhood.

The prince did not say whether this matter should be kept secret. I thought it was impossible to let Khan Ama know, otherwise they would have to confiscate their money and tie them to the Forbidden City. How could they run inside and outside the palace like now?

"It was the second brother of the prince who gave me money to study the construction of a large ship, but in fact it has not been built yet." Because they encountered the biggest difficulty - motivation.

Neither the Ministry of Industry nor the Institute of Science and Technology can find other driving forces that can get rid of natural water flow, wind, or manpower. They have encountered a bottleneck. Once that bottleneck is broken, the shipbuilding industry of the Qing Dynasty will surely make rapid progress and surpass the whole world!

Yinzuo told Yinzhen: It was him who told the second brother of the prince that he had a dream of building a big ship. The second brother of the prince supported him in pursuing his dreams and gave him many interesting suggestions.

He wanted to build a ship that was unprecedentedly large, and he could also put a small boat on the ship and a ship in his belly. Similar to the technology of a large ship, there were records in the Ming Dynasty, but most of the ships in the Ming Dynasty were made of wood, and Yinzuo wanted to build a stronger one. Yinreng also provided many suggestions for Yinzuo on the power of the ship.

If energy can generate power, then the ship can go against the current and against the wind, which will be a leapfrog development for the existing shipbuilding industry in the entire world.

Yinzuo received a lot of financial support from the prince. He could personally design ships, apply engineering and machinery to the extreme, run around the Ministry of Works and the Institute of Science, constantly trying to find "power".

Unfortunately, he has not found a power that can replace the natural generation of artificial intelligence. The only thing he can do is to make manual efforts easier through mechanical physics and other means.

"But I think it's too soon! It's only one layer of window paper!" Yinzuo said loudly. He mentioned that he was like a scientist who was injected with chicken blood when he was looking for "motive". Although the road ahead was covered by a fog, he had a premonition that he could find the answer immediately.

Yinzuo also showed the notes he had studied for a long time to Yinzhi.

"Fourth brother, what exactly can be used as motivation? The so-called motivation means something that can drive a certain matter forward."

"The second brother of the prince teaches us to conserve energy, can the energy released from it be applied to the power?"

"Center of gravity, speed, acceleration," Yinzhen read the notes written by Yinzuo, but he could no longer understand the many symbols and mathematical formulas behind it.

"These are also taught by the prince?"

"Of course not. This is what Galileo Galilee mentioned in his book, which is a book from abroad. I want to find all the content related to motivation. There are books full of wardrobe cabinets on the Institute of Science, all collected by the envoys of the Qing Dynasty from various countries."

The library of the Institute of Science is full of science-related books, and it is available in all countries. If you have difficulty reading, you still need to copy them down and run to the school outside.

Only with a prince like Yinzuo can you find someone to help without any scruples.

"Mr. Hook gave me a lot of help," Yinzuo whispered: "Although he also has his own research project, his erudition made us hit it off."

The library in the institute is a treasure land, especially for scientists like Hook, because in the Qing Dynasty, all the books listed as banned by the Pope can be seen. There were few people in the Qing Dynasty who believed in the Jesuits, and no one would ask you to burn books in the name of God.

The texts of books and texts in Western countries are different. You need to find these books and then translate and view them. The project is huge.

Foreign scholars have always been doing the translation of books collected from various countries into Manchu and Chinese books. Even if the number is too large, they are still translated at the speed of solving several books every year.

The system of imperial examinations is like crossing a single-plank bridge. Perhaps only one of the ten thousand people can successfully pass it. So what should other scholars do?

Year after year, they fail to pass the exam and always need to seek ways to make a living and find other ways to advance.

Foreign studies are a new science. Although you can't become an official after learning, this industry is an emerging industry. As long as you study for a few years, you will not have to worry about not being able to find a job, do some work for the court, or translate for businessmen or senior officials. If you are lucky, you may be promoted to become a small official. Why not do it?

Since the prosperity of foreign studies has been blocked, and after the impeachment of the opposition in the Korean and Chinese opposition failed, more people have flocked to foreign studies in recent years.

Yinzuo asked Yinzhen: "Fourth brother, the Kongming lantern can float because there is fire burning below, and the heat rushing up makes the Kongming lantern fly. So if more fires burn and more heat qi, can you carry people to fly?"

Yinzhi: "..."

"If people can be carried, can we also carry the ship?" Yinzuo really dared to think about it. He also drew Kongming lanterns larger than people on the drawings and tied them to the ship. If there are so many Kongming lanterns that are countless, can we make the ship fly?

Yinzhen asked his younger brother so much that he turned into a dead fish eye. He pointed out the bad points: "Since you chose the Kongming lantern to float, why bother to put a boat underneath?"

Yinzuo scratched the back of his head, looked at his laptop in a daze, and muttered, "But isn't this to float across the ocean? Kongming lanterns are floating on it, and the boat is ripping on the sea, taking care of both sides, so can it sail faster?"

Speaking of the issue of motivation, we talked about it again.

The foundation of scientific researchers in the Qing Dynasty was not as profound as that of foreign countries because of the eight-legged scholarship. Fortunately, the prosperity of new learning in the early years has laid the foundation for the development in recent years. At least, the whole country is no longer looking for some top researchers to be able to dig out some rare golden lumps from officials.

People like Dai Zi are even more strictly protected, and their personal safety has become the top priority.

Yinzhen twitched the corners of his mouth. He never expected that his sixth brother, who had been naughty since childhood, would plunge into the Ministry of Works, and he would tend to become a scientist.

Facing his sixth brother who died prematurely in his previous life, there is no comparison in Yinzhen's memory. In addition, although Yinzuo always cheated on his brother in this life, he should be very happy every time he asked him for help. For Yinzhen, the brother who was "broken" in his previous life, it felt quite novel to have a younger brother to raise.

Yinzhen proposed to see what Yinzuo has been tinkering with recently.

Yinzuo introduced with all his words: "I am in the Ministry of Works, and I have actually made some practical achievements, but our department's achievements are different from other departments." Because it is not done by one person by one, and engineering design is not decided by one person. It is discussed together, and finally decided by one person and then reported.

For example, the widening design of sewer channels and the development and construction of drainage facilities in a city, if the style of the previous Ming Dynasty is still in use, it will no longer be able to cope with the lives of more and more people in the city, and maintenance will be necessary.

It is said that the journey is like a mountain. What Yinzhen did in his last life as an emperor was to make requests. The people below fulfilled the requirements. This time, he understood what projects Yinzuo had done in depth, and he couldn't help but respect physics and mathematics.

No wonder the prince repeatedly emphasized that physics and mathematics are important, which are related to the country and people's livelihood development. Even departments such as the Ministry of Works have their own importance.

There are also river management and embankments, which are the funds that must be invested every year. The Yellow River will suffer from floods every once in a while, and silt and sand accumulation appear in the lower reaches of the river. These problems have continued from the reign of Khan Ama to the succession of Yinzhen's son Hongli, and have become common problems that require long-term governance and maintenance.

After a brief interruption of Yinzuo, Yinzhen almost forgot what the two of them talked about today. He immediately told Yinzuo seriously: "If Khan Ama didn't ask, you pretend that he didn't know yet. If he asked, you said that everything was to study the power of the new ship to benefit the Qing Dynasty."

Don’t talk about the dream of the stars and the sea, it is undoubtedly dancing on Khan Ama’s sensitive nerves.

Yinzuo nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice.

"By the way, the agricultural tax reform implemented by my fourth brother is not easy. There are still people who are uncomfortable with you. I want to help, but I can't do anything."

"Where do you need help? I can face those things. The Chinese civil and military officials in the court are not vegetarians," Yinzhen rubbed his younger brother with a funny look: Why didn't he find Yinzuo good before?

Although he likes to show off and be naughty, he has a innocent heart. This sincerity towards people makes people feel warm.

"Just do your own thing well," Yinzhen was confident.

In such a bad government environment in the previous life, the government decrees were implemented. Was Yinzhen afraid of being accused of being infamous?

In his life, he has never been infatuated with the infamy of "the emperor who searched the house". He has the prince as his backer behind him. Khan Ama is in the head. If he can't do this, he should not be able to do it.

Yinzuo secretly said that at the current speed, it would probably take decades to find new motivation. Maybe the crown prince would have grown up by then.

However, he didn't know that nine years later, an inventor named Newcomer in the foreign country made a breakthrough in power and formally proposed "steam links the piston with the connecting rod to generate motion (1)".

By that time, the term "patent" had become a default rule among countries. In order to buy the Newcomer steam engine, the Qing Dynasty paid a considerable price.

During this period, overseas colonization had begun among countries, and the situation of external expansion was adopted to carry out colonization and expansion. England was one of them. However, the country gathered around the ancient Eastern countries was not easily affected by Westerners.

They gathered closely around the ancient Eastern Kingdoms, and paid tribute to the protection and support. When they saw the tragic situation of the colonized countries on the other side of the ocean, they shivered. Compared with the benefits and treatment they received from the ancient Eastern Kingdoms, they hugged their thighs tighter with their gratitude.

The transactions between Western countries and Eastern countries have created a huge trade deficit, and often there is a situation where Eastern commodities are more popular in the West, while Western commodities cannot be sold in the East, so Western countries are anxious.

England took the lead in setting an example in this regard. Since the Qing Dynasty strictly prohibited the inflow of opium, it would be severely punished once it was discovered, and many cooperations between countries selling their opium were terminated. England did not dare to try rashly. So they could only find another way. For example, by selling advanced technology patents, this trade deficit was quickly reversed.

Is this a good thing?

Half of the members of the English parliament did not think this was a good thing, because it would make the Eastern countries stronger, but that country was still too far away for them. Compared to the East, it was particularly important to develop one acre of three-point land. Their neighbors were all rushing to accumulate capital, and England was naturally not to be outdone. Even in that way, it was to sell patents in exchange for wealth.

This is a good thing for the Qing Dynasty. Too much money flows into the country, and I am worried that there is no place to spend it, so it will inflate when it is put into China!

Yinzhen, the current minister of the Ministry of Finance of the Qing Dynasty, said: No matter how expensive the science and technology you can buy with money, it is a good idea to take advantage of it. If you don’t take advantage of it, you are a fool!

Of course, it was all nine years later. For the Qing Dynasty, nine years passed in a hurry, but for Yinreng, the hard nine years he had survived little by little as he became the "protective father". It was not the protective father who raised his son, but the guarantee for his younger brothers.

Since the age of 22, the "middle-age crisis" has troubled Yinreng. The 41-year-old father entrusted him with important tasks. In the middle, the donkeys rushed to exert their strength. Occasionally, they would find the prince's second brother, and there was a Hongchen who was hungry and waiting to drink his grandmother.

I originally wanted to be a chess player behind the scenes, but I realized that he became a social animal. Seeing his younger brothers who rely on him and regard him as a reliable backer, facing their expectations and trust, does he have the heart to refuse?

Yinreng: I'm lonely... I can't bear it.

Because he did not raise these little donkeys!

Therefore, he deserves to become a social animal who goes out early and returns late.

Seeing that he was so tired, Kangxi asked him with a funny look: "You should do it whenever your brother comes to ask for your help. What is this? They can't do it, just replace it."

"The sons and sons want them to be malleable and can grow in the future, not for a moment."

Yinreng gritted his teeth and worked hard, constantly doing psychological construction for himself: the little donkeys are still young now, and when they can stand alone, they can retreat behind the scenes.

If there was something that Yinreng could not stop, he would seek Kangxi's help in the most shameless way.

"Khan Ama, I can't make the decision on this matter, you see..." Why don't you clean up the mess?

Kangxi heard that he wanted to give up the blame, and was so angry that his teeth were itchy.

The trip to the north of the border was originally intended to contact northern Mongolia, to appease them after the war, and to see the Qing princess who married to Mongolia.

Kangxi expected the trip to the north of the border, including horse-riding hunting, princes and nobles and Mongolian Taiji. He rewarded Mongolian tribes, and the tribes sent friendship and loyalty, and enjoyed the delicious food on the grassland in harmony and imagined the future development of the grassland.

As a result, when I arrived at Yinreng, I first went to the north to enjoy a hot spring. I liked my second sister Rong Xian and began to discuss the development of Mongolia.

Yinreng: Come on, let’s not talk about those false ones, let’s have some practical ones.

Mongolia should be governed according to the customs here, establish a government agency that maintains Mongolian order, and implements the government order of this dynasty.

Mongolia needs to restore its economy, animal husbandry needs to develop, and farmland needs to be cultivated and planted, right?

Oh, for the control of grassland desertification, planting trees is very important to prevent soil erosion.

Next, we need to establish schools, popularize education, promote the development of mutual trade, and allow the south to enter the prairie.

Come on, my second sister has not learned to go to the study for so many years. Why not take a look at the Mongolian development plan that Gu made for you?

Rong Xian: “…”

Before meeting the prince again, she thought that the prince was a mature and steady person, with both good character and academic performance, gentle and noble.

When she received the letter from the prince, the nagging that came to her face made her twitch the corners of her mouth. She couldn't believe it was from the prince's hands.

This time when I saw the real person, Rong Xian felt that the imaginary kaolin flower turned into rapeseed flowers in a blink of an eye.
