I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

When Anqing Jiebao was reported back to Nanjing, Wu Changqing just read it casually.

In the military, he has never been very worried. If they are equipped with weapons and equipment that have a generational difference to the enemy and still cannot defeat the enemy, then those generals should all be demoted and reflect on themselves.

Compared with the military, he pays more attention to improving the development of the whole society, which is the difficulty.

If in one's lifetime, the national level of science and technology is upgraded to the age of electricity, it will not be too difficult. However, Wu Changqing is not reconciled only to reach the electrical age. He hopes to reach the information age and achieve an unimaginable feat.

What is the eternal emperor, he wants to be the eternal emperor who has no one before and no one to come.

In his lifetime, he would like to surf the Internet again and take a plane again.

Wu Changqing's consciousness entered the system and checked his own data.

Host: Wu Changqing.

The territory area is about 40,000 square kilometers, and the resource points: about 990,000/1.2 million.

The population of the area is about 9.1 million, and the technology point: about 8.6 million/9.1 million.

Master technology: arquebus, flintlock, rifled gun, gunpowder, spring, flint, steam engine, soap, soap, cement...

Resource points and technology points are abundant, and Wu Changqing is also ready to do a big job. Anyway, he has money and willfulness.

"Do you want to go out for a walk?"

Wu Changqing suddenly asked Chen Yuyan, he must first understand the current living conditions of the common people, and then decide what to invent, and try to invent something that is useful to the common people and can bring progress to the society.

"Ah? Today is not a holiday."

Chen Yuyan said that it was not a major festival, and it was inconvenient for her to go shopping.

Not to mention her, even Wu Changqing is inconvenient, because Wu Changqing's identity is special. If he went shopping, he would not be surrounded by layers of onlookers.

For the sake of safety, the guards will definitely chase people again, and shopping will also become a nuisance.

"It's just a casual stroll and private visits. I want to have a deeper understanding of the current living conditions of the people. If I don't see it with my own eyes, I don't know if the officials below lied to me in the report."

Wu Changqing said.

Like the ancient emperor who was born in the palace since childhood, his understanding of the people is actually very limited, and he doesn't even know how much an egg is worth. It is common to be played by eunuchs.

For an egg with a penny, those eunuchs dared to report three or four taels of silver when reporting the bill.

As a result, some emperors sometimes complained that they could not afford eggs because they were too expensive.

This is also the reason why some men are willing to kill themselves to become eunuchs. Apart from being unable to do personnel, eunuchs have considerable income.

Although Wu Changqing is not the kind of person who grew up in the palace and isolated from the world. However, if you don't go to see the people for a long time, there will be many places where the lower officials can fool him.

Wechat private visit?

Chen Yuyan was very interested, she was actually still in the fun-loving stage at her age. However, she was afraid of being reprimanded by the old lady, and in the female virtue she had learned, she also taught women not to show their faces easily.

Therefore, even though she really wanted to go, she finally said she would not go and would stay at home and play mahjong with others.

Wu Changqing didn't care, and then ordered a few personal guards to prepare to go out.

He didn't want to bring too many people, lest private visits in microservices become a nuisance to the people. But there are fewer people and it is dangerous. There must be many people in this world who want his life.

Therefore, Wu Changqing exchanged an automatic pistol and several magazines that were 300 years ahead of the times. He has always been great in protecting his own little life.

This m1991 automatic pistol can kill with one shot within 50 meters, and the hit rate is extremely high.

Equipped with a few magazines, the number of assassins may not be close to him if the number of assassins is less than 100.

He practiced the use of the pistol in the yard, and then he went out.

On the streets of Nanjing, there are all kinds of shops on both sides, but there are no people who set up stalls.

In order to maintain smooth traffic, the yamen issued a decree that stalls must go to the designated west and east markets. Except for the West and East Markets, if you want to operate business in other places, you must have shops.

Nowadays, shops in Nanjing are not cheap. An ordinary 50-square-meter shop costs about 150 taels. The bigger ones and the better ones are three or four hundred taels.

At present, the people of Nanjing can live on five taels of silver a year.

If you live in the country, you need less money.

Buying a store costs more than 100 taels, and renting a store costs about 5 taels a month. Therefore, the things sold in the store are generally high-end products with relatively high profits.

Wu Changqing came to a grocery store, which sold general merchandise for people's livelihood.

Among the chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea, except for chai and rice, others are sold here. There are also some daily necessities, such as fire books, candles, lamp oil, fire bars...

The fire inch stick is the original match, which is made of flammable pine sticks impregnated with sulfur.

This kind of fire is very easy to ignite, as long as a little spark is struck with a stone, it can be ignited. If there is no such fire inch bar, it is very difficult to rely on drilling wood to make fire, and people without any skills can't drill through the palm of their hands.

Huozhezi is a thing that preserves the fire, it is not a thing for making fire, it does not have the function of making fire before it is ignited.

And after lighting, it will burn slowly. Although it burns slowly,

This fire book is not long, and a fire book basically can only save two or three days of fire.

This kind of commodity, only wealthy people can afford to buy and use.

Although humans have mastered the ability to make fire for tens of thousands of years, the technology of making fire has always been primitive and backward.

"How much is this fire stick?"

Wu Changqing asked.

"Returning to the guest, it only needs five cents, which is very cheap and can be used many times. It can also be shared with neighbors, which is very cost-effective."

The shop assistant said that the so-called public use of the neighborhood means that when everyone cooks together, the family uses the fire inch sticks to make fire, and then the neighbors come to borrow the fire together.

In this way, the fire inch bar can be used with maximum efficiency and the cost of living can be saved.

Five cents of money, converted according to purchasing power, is about 3 yuan of RMB in later generations. Therefore, this kind of fire inch stick is still very expensive, and not all people can afford it.

Most of the people may prefer to spend more time drilling wood to make fire, or go to the neighborhood to borrow fire with shame, rather than buying this kind of fire.

The reason why fire inch strips are so expensive is naturally due to the backwardness of the industry, which cannot be mass-produced, and the production cost is too high.

Wu Changqing silently wrote down the matches and was about to go back and get them out.

The technology required to make matches is not very esoteric. It is even very similar to the current fire bar. It is to use wooden sticks to impregnate flammable sulfur, phosphorus, etc., and then make sand coated with red phosphorus next to the matchbox. Surface, through the principle of friction heat generation fire.

The principles of many inventions are not profound, but many people cannot think of them. As a later generation, Wu Changqing is well-informed. As long as he mentions a little, even without him lighting the matchmaking process, contemporary craftsmen can figure it out.

Of course, in order to save time, Wu Changqing decided to light up the manufacturing process directly. Figure out the manufacturing process and the ratio of raw materials and recipes, and let those craftsmen follow the production.

The appearance of matches can facilitate countless people, and at the same time, it can also facilitate the army and save military expenses.

At present, both the arquebus and grenadier units of the Wu army need a lot of firearms, which cost a lot.
