In fact, the Tang Dynasty was at a very critical turning point in the entire Chinese history. Before the Tang Dynasty and after the Tang Dynasty, there were actually two systems. Any thing could change the direction of the development of the Tang Dynasty. After Li Zhi, there was nothing impossible that women could become emperors. It was not like the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, and it had been solidified from top to bottom. It was difficult to change, and it was impossible for women to become emperors.

That crisis caused a heavy blow to the Tang Dynasty and almost killed it. Therefore, everyone firmly denied the official camp. In fact, the official camp of the Song Dynasty was very powerful, but the Song Dynasty's economy was also very developed, much more developed than the Tang Dynasty in history, including a certain dynasty. Therefore, the official camp is not impossible, but it was because of that crisis that the Tang Dynasty never took this path again. It was already scared that the emperor agreed, and the people would not agree.

Even with such high-end technology as steam engines, they would rather give it to merchants than let the court produce it themselves, and then sell it to the people.

This was something Han Yi didn't expect. He had already made plans for the official business. Anyway, he could do it. He wouldn't use it to deprive the people of their wealth. However, he didn't expect that it would be impossible to pass it. Li Zhi was criticized for being terrified.

After lunch, Li Hong, Li Xian and some ministers went to visit the Sixth School of the Sage, but Li Zhi did not go due to physical reasons.

By the time they arrived, the cabin was cleaned and the boiler was cleaned.

When Li Hong and others saw the steam engine, their expressions were even more exaggerated than Han Yi and Li Chunfeng. They had seen the most precise parts in the world, but they all thought that this was completely different from the things in front of them.

Those parts were made from a lathe in the water. Although they were still polished by craftsmen, each part already had industrial elements inside, which looked different.

But they were just surprised.

They still couldn't realize how these parts helped everything in life, they just thought that this part could only be used in steam engines, and that's all.

This is also the inherent thinking that China has not attached importance to inventions for a long time.

In fact, before the trial, even when the trial was just over, many people were still unwilling to believe that it was steam pushing the ships to walk, especially the literati. They were not as ignorant and easy to fool the people. They thought there might be some tricks in it. The key is that everyone has seen this steam. How could it be that a strong boatman could push such a large ship?

But since Yuwen Xiumi and others got off the boat, everyone believed that this was a fact, and this was also a reason why Han Yi arranged the guests.

Why is it so magical?

Six Skills of the Sage.

This answer is a consensus and cannot be reversed.

Because no one can explain the principle.

This is actually the first time that knowledge and invention are closely linked, because gears and levers have been used to have things like this before, and they were made with the wisdom of craftsmen. They are not a science or completely incomprehensible. The steam engine was really amazing for ancient people, and it surpassed everyone's understanding, resulting in the use of the Six Skills of the Sage to explain it.

Then the Six Sages of the Sages have become a magical science. In other words, the Six Sages of the Sages are very worthy of everyone’s learning.

Everyone just agreed with it before, but now they are convinced!

This change in ideas is actually far better than the emergence of steam engines. For Chinese people, the most important thing is to recognize science and specialize in science. As long as geniuses are willing to develop in this regard, then aircraft and cannons are no problem, it is just a matter of time.

If there is no such concept, even if Han Yi makes a steam engine, a thousand years later, everyone may still use the steam engine.

This is why Han Yi spared no effort to promote the Six Sages of Sages. Even though it did not develop quickly, Han Yi didn't care. It would be enough to have this knowledge here. Any invention will be thrown into it in the future. In short, it is to let everyone understand that this is knowledge, not a strange skill.

If this idea is not reversed, the Opium War will only come earlier, just like gunpowder. The West will take away gunpowder and then create a cannon to bombard you.

Of course, this also leads to a phenomenon, that is, there is a piece of water vapor in Chang'an City today.

...

In the evening.

"Husband, you are back!"

"Well, Yuan Xiu is here too!"

Han Yi just returned home and found that Yuan Xiu was standing next to Yuan Mudan, and he was not surprised at all.

"Dad!"

Han Xuanpin suddenly ran up and said with a longing look on his face: "Dad, the child also wants to be on the Sixth School Number of Sages."

Han Yi smiled and said, "If you go back to your room and study your homework seriously, Dad will promise you."

Han Xuanpin was stunned.

Han Yi said: "What? Is Dad's request too much?"

Han Xuanpin said: "Dad, are you lying to me?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Your request is too simple!"

"That's how it works!"

Han Yi said: "Okay, it's rare for me to think about it."

"Dad, you have to keep your word. Aunt Mudan, you have to testify for Xuanpin."

Han Xuanpin shouted while running towards his study.

"This brat."

Han Yi smiled and shook his head. He was actually very willing to take Han Xuanpin and Han Rui to visit the Sixth Student Number of Sages, which would be very helpful to their future. Then he stepped forward, took Yuan Mudan's hand, and then reached out to Yuan Xiu and signaled: "Tell me inside."

After coming to the house, Yuan Mudan smiled and said, "Husband, you have concealed me. If we had known that you were studying this steam engine, we wouldn't have to rack our brains to think about new motivation."

Han Yi smiled and said, "I'm not hiding it from my wife. I didn't think it would be successful. I've made plans to fail, so I threw Yunxiu to Yangzhou and didn't care. What if it doesn't work? What if you develop a new or better motivation? If I tell you in advance, once Yunxiu fails, it means that everyone fails. You can't put the eggs in a basket."

"What my uncle said," Yuan Xiu nodded and said, "But no matter what, it's really time for this steam engine to come out. It's..."

He wanted to speak but stopped. Han Yi didn't know what he wanted to say, so he said, "You just don't know how the court planned to use this steam engine."

Yuan Xiu nodded and said, "I want to know when the imperial court will sell this steam engine."

He never thought that the court was willing to hand over the production rights to merchants. The consensus of merchants was that Han Yi would definitely imitate the chain and produced it by the Sixth Academy of Sages themselves, but the chain was a product of the crisis. Now everyone's thoughts are different.

Han Yi smiled and said, "I think you may not know that the cost of steamships is much higher than that of sailing ships. Therefore, steamships are impossible to popularize without a large amount of coal resources. Therefore, the first step is mining and smelting. Only when we have a large amount of coal and more advanced smelting technology can we reduce the cost of steam engines and popularize this steamship."

Yuan Xiudao: "But there is no breakthrough in mining yet!"

Yuan Mudan smiled and said, "Use the steam engine to break through."

"It's still the wife who is smart." Han Yi smiled.

Yuan Xiu exclaimed: "Can the steam engine be used for mining?"

Han Yi nodded and said, "Of course, the steam engine can generate power, and the power can be converted into productivity. If you use the steam engine to mine coal, it is simply a perfect match, because coal is the fuel that the steam engine needs the most. If you put the steam engine on the coal mine, it will not be possible to stop it."

Yuan Mudan was extremely excited to hear it.

Yuan Xiu even punched his palm and said excitedly: "Yes! Why didn't I think of this?"

"Don't be too happy too early." Han Yi said: "The equipment mined is very different from the equipment of the ship. The steam engine must need to be transformed, but this requires money."

"Donating money is not a problem." Yuan Mudan said: "The problem is how the court trades with us?"

Han Yi said: "Current ministers in the court tend to hand over to merchants for production, because ministers in the court are unwilling to do business with the people."

Yuan Xiu was stunned and said, "Leave it to the merchant for production?"

Han Yi nodded.

Yuan Xiu said happily: "Can the court be sure to give to whom to produce?"

Yuan Mudan also looked at Han Yi with anticipation.

This is really not too cool!

Han Yi asked without answering, "Does the Yuan family lack this little money?"

Yuan Mudan frowned and said, "This is not only a matter of money. Whoever wants to master the steam engine can dominate everything."

She had thought of this a long time ago that machines are the future. She no longer cares about buying and selling matters, and she is specializing in supervising smelting and machine technology.

Han Yi said: "Do you want this production right?"

Yuan Mudan said: "If the court chooses the bidding method as before, then our Yuan family will take it down at all costs."

Han Yi said: "What if it is not fair?"

Yuan Mudan was stunned for a moment and said, "Then we have to give us a suitable reason. If the court produces it itself, we will also support it."

Han Yi was silent for a little, and said, "Actually, your previous idea is not wrong. Mastering the steam engine is not everything. Mastering the steel is mastering everything. In this regard, the Yuan family and the Sixth Academy of the Sage have already cooperated closely. Therefore, the most important thing is that no matter who produces the steam engine, they must purchase the steel smelted by the Yuan family from the Yuan family."

Yuan Mudan said: "It seems that you already have a suitable candidate in your heart?"

Han Yi nodded and said, "Yes, although there is no final decision yet, he tends to hand over the production rights of the steam engine to the Zhang family's workshop, which is mastered by the Sixth Academy of Sages, mastered by the smelting of steel, and mastered by the Zhang family's production technology. This is the best arrangement and a plan that the court is willing to accept."

Yuan Mudan pondered for a moment and said, "You said it right, this is indeed the best solution."

The people of the Yuan family will consider anything they do, whether this will cause dissatisfaction from the court. If the Yuan family masters smelting technology and the production technology of steam engines, then the Yuan family will be top-notch in agriculture, industry and finance, will the court still feel at ease with them?

Han Yi said: "Madam, if a greedy person is not easy to give in, it's just that any businessman wants to take the steam engine for himself. This is just a human nature."

Yuan Mudan said: "But I really hope that the steam engine can be used in mining as soon as possible."

Han Yi said: "This should not be very difficult, as long as there is enough funding."
