While waiting for Huang Shu to send back Zuo Liangyu's message, Li Zicheng was not idle, but came to the mansions of Huang Qing, Su Fu, and Zhou Xianglin, not only teaching the production technology of the corresponding machines, but also imperceptibly influencing their business concepts, and slowly guiding them to develop in the direction of modern industry.

Under the influence of the three major industries of spinning, weaving, and bicycles, Li Zicheng believed that the industry and commerce in Jiangnan would undergo earth-shaking changes, whether it was merchants, gentry and ordinary people, their concepts would also quietly change.

In the process of the rise of Jiangnan industry, there will be a lot of business bankruptcy, a few happy and a few sad, labor pains are inevitable, but also necessary, only the whole society is aware of the strength of industry, in order to promote the industrialization of Jiangnan.

Before colliding with the Western powers, they will get through the chaos of the early stage of industrialization, handle their own affairs well, and wait until the West discovers the clues, China is already ahead of them, and they need to look up and catch up......

Maybe the current Jiangnan will soon enter the stage of disorderly competition, and it needs to be restrained by a set of laws, but Li Zicheng is not in a hurry, the law itself is lagging behind the development of society, and when the society needs it, there will be a new law, and the Ministry of Justice in China has just been built, and there is a serious shortage of specialized talents, so it is useless to be anxious.

What he thinks about the most is what kind of division of labor and cooperation is needed for the development of the three major industrial sectors.

Due to the distance between the three major industrial sectors, collaboration and duplication are inevitable, in his vision, each sector should have a large bicycle manufacturer to ensure the basic supply of the plate, which is also the basis of each plate.

Such basic industrial projects cannot only be bicycles, but also cement industry, mining industry, shipbuilding industry and so on.

Until the rapid acceleration of transportation, such collaboration and duplication will exist for a long time, and the three major industrial sectors will develop independently.

In addition, each industrial sector should also develop its own characteristic industries according to its needs.

For example, the textile industry in the south of the Yangtze River, the wine industry in Xining-Lanzhou, etc., such characteristic industries need to be continuously explored.

As the national capital of China, Jingshi has a wider radiation area and more characteristic industries, but so far, Li Zicheng has paid the least attention and planning to Jingshi because of the conquest.

In addition to Liaodong outside the Guan, Jingshi is almost in the northernmost part of China, so it naturally radiates to Guanwai...... What is produced in the desert outside the gates?

Fur!

Li Zicheng came up with these two words in his heart, one is to think of the leather shoe factory and woolen garment factory in Xining, and the other is to think of the eastward expansion of Maozi in later generations, crossing tens of thousands of kilometers of Siberia, and the target is the local fur.

As long as the fur industry is developed on a large scale in Beijing, limited by raw materials, the merchants will definitely go out to look for it, and if there is an army to escort it, the land in the north will naturally be included in China.

The farther north you go, the colder it gets, and the more expensive your fur becomes......

The development of the fur industry has prompted the expansion of the territory of China to the north, and at the same time, it can also improve the lives of the local natives, and may even change their nomadic habits!

Li Zicheng said: With the unification of the whole country in China, the country's main energy will be shifted to construction, at that time, the cement, mining, and shipbuilding industries will develop rapidly, and the original silk, tea, porcelain, etc. of the Ming Dynasty, if they can continue to be maintained, these new and old industrial and agricultural products will make the country's financial revenue increase sharply, and the increased silver money can be used to implement new education!

He picked up the tea and took a sip, his eyes were full of smiles, it seemed that Huaxia had embarked on the road of industrialization driven by the three major industrial sectors.

Suddenly, he thought of a question, and he was unconsciously shocked: with the widespread use of new technologies, the production speed of industrial products will increase greatly, and the number of industrial products will also increase sharply.

If the sales problem is not solved, there will be a large backlog of goods, and the result will inevitably be a large number of bankruptcies of manufacturers......

If everything goes well, the three major industrial sectors are developing at full capacity, and it won't be long before there will be a backlog of industrial products!

What to do?

Li Zicheng immediately remembered Deng Taizong, the later generation of Huaxia, in the early days of reform and opening up, a large number of goods produced in Huaxia were sold abroad.

When the British Empire was developing rapidly, it was also the peak of grabbing colonies by force, and it was also called the "empire on which the sun never sets......

He dissected the surroundings of Huaxia one by one.

To the east, there are only three small countries: Japan, Korea#Xian, and Ryukyu; The north is a vast grassland and desert, and the nomadic tribes have no purchasing power; To the west, across the Great Desert is the Western Regions of the Han and Tang dynasties, and its purchasing power is also limited.

Only the sea in the south is the hope of China!

Li Zicheng smiled meaningfully at the corner of his mouth, and he picked up a pencil and wrote the three big words "colony" on a notepad.

It happened that Zhou Qingrou came to renew the tea for Li Zicheng, and when she saw the smile on the corner of Li Zicheng's mouth, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Is the emperor happy, can you tell the servant to listen to it, so that the servant can also be happy for the emperor......"

Li Zicheng looked at this bright smiling face, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, it has only been a few days, Zhou Qingrou seems to have completely faded the greenness on her body, and replaced it, the charm of the little woman has unconsciously bred a lot.

A woman's maturity really only takes one night!

He gently stroked Zhou Qingrou's smooth face, and said with a faint smile: "Does Qingrou really want to listen?" ”

Zhou Qingrou's eyes showed a misty color, she thought that Li Zicheng was going to do that shameful thing again, she pondered for a moment, still raised her little face, met Li Zicheng's gaze, and nodded lightly, "Son, you want to listen!"

Li Zicheng understood that she was wrong, so he said: "I plan to go to Hangzhou, I don't know if it's a happy thing?" ”

"Hangzhou?" Zhou Qingrou's eyes suddenly changed to an expectation, and she looked at Li Zicheng with a blank look.

"I remember that Qingrou's home is in Hangzhou, right?" Li Zicheng smiled indifferently: "I don't know if this is a happy thing for Qingrou?" ”

"Ah...... Is the emperor willing to take his slaves to Hangzhou? Zhou Qingrou opened her arms and was almost about to throw herself into Li Zicheng's arms.

Li Zicheng also opened his arms and motioned for her to pounce, he went to Hangzhou to inspect this time, naturally for the sake of Jiangnan's industrial development plan, Zhou Qingrou just accompanied her, and after returning to Beijing, she may not have the opportunity to return to her hometown again.

Zhou Qingrou really threw herself into Li Zicheng's arms and whispered, "The emperor is so good!"

Li Zicheng gently patted Zhou Qingrou's back, his chin rubbing against the hair on the top of her head, "When I finish working on Nanjing, I will go to Hangzhou soon." ”

"Hmm!"

In the next two days, Li Zicheng appointed chief officials to Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, and Changzhou.

Ma Minglu, the prefect of Yangzhou, was retained, Tang Laihe, an official, was appointed as the president of the court, and Wang Zan, a local celebrity, was appointed as the president of supervision.

The officials of Zhenjiang Prefecture have been adjusted relatively largely, and almost no principal officials have been retained, with Zhang Guocai, the Bo of Ancheng of the Hongguang Dynasty, as the prefect, Zhu Zhichen, the head of the household department, as the president of the court, and Jiang Yuntai, the former chief military officer, as the president of the supervision.

Zong Hao, the governor of Changzhou Prefecture, remained in office, Mao Bijiang, who had just been released, became the president of the court, and Chen Zhenhui served as the president of the supervision department.

Yangzhou Prefecture was extremely rich because of the salt merchants, and Zhenjiang and Changzhou were both rich because of the development of industry and commerce.

The prefect, court president, and supervision president of Zhenjiang Prefecture are not Donglin Party members, while Changzhou Mansion, on the contrary, the three most important positions are all held by Donglin Party members.

Over time, look at the development of these two prefectures, and Changzhou under the rule of the Donglin Party will develop in that direction.

In order to prevent the Donglin Party from growing in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Zicheng appointed Wang Duo, the prefect of Suzhou, and Li Xuan, the prefect of Songjiang.

Wang Duo is the right attendant of the Chongzhen Dynasty Rite Department, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen (1641 AD), due to the death of his father, he took the initiative to resign and leave Beijing, and is now studying in Suzhou; Li Sui is the right attendant of the Hongguang Dynasty Rite Department.

Both of these men were once the right attendants of the Ministry of Rites, but it was only a coincidence, and most importantly, neither of them was a member of the Donglin Party.

After Li Zicheng finished his busy work, he asked Li Xiangjun to pack his luggage and prepare to go to Hangzhou, Qian Qianyi came to ask to see, "Your Majesty, Weichen has found the president of Nanjing University, and his name is Fang Yizhi, this is his detailed information." ”

Li Zicheng took the message, glanced at it, and was overjoyed: This is the most suitable person!

Fang Yizhi is a native of Tongcheng County, Anqing Prefecture, and his father is Fang Kongzhi, the former governor of Huguang.

On top of that, he has a book he has just finished: "A Little Physics Knowledge"!

Li Zicheng originally didn't know who Fang Yizhi was, but when he saw the name of this book, he faintly remembered that he was a scientist with the same name as Wang Zheng.

If such a treasure falls into his hands, how can he let him run away?

In Li Zicheng's heart, he already regarded him as the first president of Nanjing University.

However, looking at Fang Yizhi's message, Li Zicheng quickly frowned: This Fang Yizhi turned out to be a member of the Restoration Society, and because of his profound knowledge, he was still very famous among the group of people in the Restoration Society.

Should a member of the Restoration Society be appointed as the president of NTU?

Fang Yizhi is a talent in short supply in China at the moment, but his status as a member of the Restoration Society makes Li Zicheng very disgusted, at least for now, Li Zicheng is a member who is unwilling to reuse the Restoration Society, and NTU shoulders the heavy responsibility of cultivating officials and scientific and technological talents, if Fang Yizhi becomes the president, the idea of the Restoration Society and the Restoration Society is bound to be widely spread among students.

Li Zicheng carefully read Fang Yizhi's message, except for the resumption of the society, he is almost the perfect candidate for the president of NTU.

What to do?

Li Zicheng thought for a long time, decided to delay leaving Nanjing for a day, and saw Fang Yizhi before he said, "Qian Aiqing, where is this Fang Yizhi now?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Fang Yizhi originally served in the court, but because Ruan Dacheng didn't like it, he betrayed and resigned, and now he is in Nanjing," Qian Qianyi saw that Zhu Youzhen was interested in Yizhi, and he was very happy, "Your Majesty, do you want to find out this person?" ”

Since you are not willing to do it in officialdom, it will be easy to do! Li Zicheng nodded, and said: "Qian Aiqing should know that the selection of the president of NTU is very important to the development of NTU, I want to summon this person, you go and invite him quickly, Ao, let him bring the handbook of "Physics Knowledge"!"
