Yang Yu sat in the pavilion, looking at the information brought by Secretary-General Bai Ling.

“History always repeats itself in a surprising way.”

That was the first steam-driven car of the Imperial Academy of Engineering. Due to a fault in the braking system, it crashed into a wall, causing the steam car to be smashed into pieces and the tester also died.

"His Majesty……"

Bai Ling exudes the flavor of a mature woman, "Do you..."

“Their behavior should be encouraged.”

“People live to explore the meaning of life. If we don’t have the spirit of exploration, how can we discover the mysteries of this world?”

Yang Yu waved his hand to interrupt Secretary General Bai Ling.

this world.

We need more people like this who are willing to explore.

"promise."

Secretary General Bai Ling said respectfully.

Anno 464.

This year.

The Imperial Academy of Engineering first proposed the idea of ​​mixing fuel and air to form a mixed gas for combustion.

In the same year, Yang Zi, a scientist from the Academy of Engineering, invented the world's first storage battery.

This invention brought a historic turning point in the development of the automobile industry and the empire.

Anno 466.

Academician Liu Ming, president of the Imperial Academy of Engineering, passed away. Scientist Zhang Peng became the president of the Academy of Engineering and proposed the principle of the gas engine.

Anno 470.

The genius scientist Fang Nuo made a complete improvement to the steam engine and created a new type of high-pressure steam engine.

Anno 490.

The Xinggu Empire had accumulated experience in steam engines for hundreds of years and finally reached the peak of the first industrial age.

Countless geniuses emerged, pushing the behemoth Xinggu Dynasty towards a bright future.

According to statistics from the Prime Minister's Office.

The population of the Xinggu Empire has officially exceeded 2 million, and the average life expectancy has reached 61 years. The longest-lived person, except for His Majesty the Emperor, has reached the age of 85.

This is human progress.

in this year.

This is the year when the Xinggu Empire enters a new era.

The genius scientist Qin Wenyan invented the world's first generator, and it is currently in the testing phase, which means that the Xinggu Empire is entering the second industrial age, an era in which electrical appliances are widely used.

The first industrial age was an era in which steam was widely used.

The second industrial age was an era in which electrical appliances were widely used.

In 472, practical generators came into being, and electrical appliances began to be used to replace machines, becoming a new energy source to supplement and replace steam engines.

475 years.

The Imperial Academy of Engineering invented the internal combustion engine that runs on gas and gasoline.

The invention of the internal combustion engine solved the engine problem of transportation.

until 485.

The automobile and shipping companies controlled by the empire, in cooperation with the Imperial Academy of Engineering, successfully manufactured internal combustion engine cars and internal combustion engine ships, ushering in a new era.

Anno 500.

After a long period of development and the popularization of electricity.

Electric lights, wireless telegraphs, etc. appeared in this world.

This has led to the Star Ancient Empire's central control over this land becoming increasingly tight.

Also in this historic year.

The airplane was born.

The two young men completed the construction of the aircraft and conducted a test flight amidst the questioning gazes of their family and neighbors.

At the same time, an invitation was received from the Imperial Academy of Engineering. Imperial Palace.

Kylin Hall.

Emperor Yang Yu and all the cabinet ministers are in this central hall of power.

"Today, the Empire's layout of this land is still not enough."

Yang Yu looked at the ministers present and said seriously: "The land has been controlled by the empire, but what about the ocean?"

"Now that we have a lot of ships, including steel ships and other items, we should also start exploring the ocean. The resources in the ocean are rich enough and can even provide us with enough meat products."

"It is time to let the people eat some delicacies from the ocean and make their lives comfortable. This is the responsibility and mission of our most civilized leaders."

"We are not in this position to oppress the people and be superior to them."

"We should do what we deserve based on the position we enjoy."

"The people can lift us up, but they can also pull us down from the altar."

“So, whether the people can be prosperous and healthy depends on the decisions made by those of us in power.”

Everyone listened to the words of His Majesty the Emperor with their hearts filled with respect.

As expected, he is Emperor Sui.

Unlike others, there are no excessive requirements.

The only requirement is also very simple.

That means the people of the world will be prosperous and healthy.

"Especially the Ministry of Public Security. You have to handle the public security issues of the Empire. Recently, someone reported to me that in many remote mountain villages, elders beat and abused children. You have to pay attention to this matter and don't cause psychological trauma to the children."

"It's normal to get beaten for making mistakes, but those who are prejudiced and take their anger out on children should be detained or shot."

"The Empire doesn't need scum."

"Also, the judicial sector must be strengthened."

“Especially conflicts within the family.”

"Don't tell me anything more. Family conflicts are beyond the reach of the Imperial Law and are not governed by the Imperial Law."

"fart."

"Domestic violence is domestic violence. It is added to the criminal law. The lighter punishment is imprisonment, and the heavier punishment is execution. Whether it is a man who abuses a woman or a woman who abuses a man, they will all be dealt with according to the imperial law."

"Especially those who control others mentally or mentally should be shot directly."

"If you resist, you will be executed on the spot."

This was the first time that Yang Yu used swear words, speaking out for the men and women who have been subjected to domestic violence for years.

"Your Majesty, is it too harsh to add domestic violence to the criminal law?"

The Minister of Justice looked at the Emperor in disbelief.

Shouldn't this be a civil dispute?

It has actually turned into a criminal responsibility here, Your Majesty.

As for criminal responsibility, the chances of going to jail or being shot are half and half.

"Harsh? Not harsh at all."

"As for the beasts, they should be shot, there is no other way."

Yang Yu said bluntly: "Especially in Zheng's family, once discovered, the whole family will be punished."

"promise."

Seeing the powerful Emperor, the cabinet ministers were shocked.
It seems.

His Majesty the Emperor is serious about this.

"Your Majesty, in recent years, we have always found that people from other dynasties are wandering around the border of our empire, and some even want to cross the border and reach our side. How should we deal with it?"

The Prime Minister thought of the intelligence information presented by his subordinates and asked tentatively.

"Is it a diplomatic matter?"

Hearing this, Yang Yu's eyes flickered, and he said, "The people of the Empire are not allowed to contact them. The Empire will form a team specifically to contact them. If they want to exchange supplies in our Empire, they can use the ready-made silver ore and gold ore to exchange supplies with us."

"Strategic materials such as sugar, salt, and iron are prohibited from circulation. We can sell them simple daily necessities, but the price must be at least double the market price."

"And the payment must be settled immediately."

"Our empire does not have the strength to completely unify at the moment, so we will use their resources to grow and then unify them."
