In the first year of Tianqi, Ming Dynasty became seriously ill.
Above the temple, the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party fought against each other and quarreled endlessly;
On the Liaodong border wall, Nurhachi's cavalry were sharpening their swords and watching with eager eyes;
In the Forbidden City, the sixteen-year-old emperor Zhu Youxiao could only hide in the carpentry workshop, trying to use planes and saws to repair the country that was riddled with holes.
Until this day, a soul from four hundred years later woke up next to the hot furnace of Wang Gong Factory.
Li Su, a national mechanical engineer.
He had no strategy for governing the country, only a vernier caliper and a head full of knowledge about steel, gunpowder and steam.
Faced with this crumbling empire, he did not choose to write eight-part essays in the imperial examination. Instead, he walked into the emperor's carpentry workshop and handed over a precision brass lighter.
"Your Majesty, wood is too soft to support Ming's backbone. A man's romance should be made of steel."
From this moment on, the history of Ming Dynasty turned a corner.
Since civil servants love money, they should use industrial luxury goods to harvest Jiangnan and fill the national treasury with silver;
Since military generals are afraid of death, they should use assembly-line produced flintlocks and field cannons to teach slaves how to behave;
Since Fanbang is arrogant, then build giant steam ships that swallow coal and breathe out gas, and let the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty be planted all over the world.
…
Many years later, when steam trains roared across the ice fields of Siberia, and when armored fleets spewed black smoke in the English Channel.
Li Su, who was already the "Chief Engineer of the Empire", looked at the emperor next to him who was still keen on studying machinery and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, is this prosperous age as you wish?"

It's okay, the plot is logical, but the shortcoming is that industry can't make such big strides in feudal society. There were only two ways to carry out the industrial revolution in feudal society. Either take it slow and spend more than a hundred years slowly bringing the original aristocrats to wealth, or revolution.

It's been a long time since I saw a good article with profound writing style and historical knowledge in Yangshizi [Like]
It is not a purely refreshing article, it explores the confrontation between the old and new forces and portrays the representative characters.
The rating should be higher
The ending chapter is a bit baffling. I didn't even understand the battle for Earth's hegemony, but suddenly jumped to interstellar civilization and interstellar immigration.
Cool article! This is how it should be written
Interesting novel, unconventional, I hope it will continue to be so!
It's so beautifully written 👀 Keep up the good work. . . Come on
Cool writing, good
Hahahahahahahahaha
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, good writing!
6:01, Sorry to the author.
Not bad, very good (^_^)👍I like reading this type of books (＾-＾)📚📚📚📚📚
Very well written. It is worth recommending and watching. The author has a profound cultural background and is worthy of praise.
The asterisks in the chapter titles and quotation marks give people an AI-assisted feeling [face covering]
The pace is fast and beautiful.
There is a bug. The rubber was not found as mentioned earlier, but the steam engine is directly connected to the steam engine later. Is this possible?
