But the development bottleneck is not that easy to break through!

According to Yang Song's prediction, at the current development speed, it will take at least ten years to make a major breakthrough without systematic rewards!

Only ten years later will the Xia Kingdom give birth to enough talents and enough knowledge!

Ten years, what a long time! A person’s life is only a few decades. Based on the time of this world, this number may be less than 380 days a year!

At that time, according to the current population growth rate of Xia Kingdom, it is estimated that it will reach tens of millions!

In fact, the current population is the result of Yang Song suppressing the conscript speed after thinking about it in many ways. Otherwise, if the conscript is released when there is enough food, it will now reach 500,000!

Yang Song was only considering strategic reserves of food, new people's integration, and joint costs after technological changes.

That's why he chose to suppress the recruitment speed, but wouldn't this go against the original population growth plan?

In fact, there is no change in natural fertility. Yang Song knew that after the steam engine was born, he needed enough manpower to operate the machine and enter the factory, so he had already recruited the people to maximize the recruitment!

The food shortage in the previous few times gave him a headache, and he had to launch a plunder war for this!

So he learned from his experience and established a strategic reserve granary to prevent sudden surge in grain demand!

Now there is a sudden war, and the food has been enough to support it for a long time, and it will not have much impact on the Xia Kingdom!

For the sake of war, Yang Song even reserved a large amount of gunpowder and shells, and filled several specially built military warehouses. From then on, he no longer had to worry about not enough ammunition!

When he thought of the cannon, he immediately asked Li Ji: "Li Ji, how did you make the musket you tried to make?"

With a wealth of gunpowder, how could he forget the big killing weapon of musket? So he asked Li Ju to develop a flintlock musket!

When Li Ji asked him what a musket was, Yang Song's introduction was a reduced version of the cannon, a single-player "hand cannon"!

In the end, there was no way, so Yang Song drew a musket according to his memory, with a long butt stock, a long barrel, a trigger flintlock mechanism, etc., but there were no detailed parameters, only one look!

According to Yang Song's introduction, Li Ju finally learned about such a weapon. He immediately went back to develop it, but there were many difficulties!

The wooden butt stock is easy to deal with, just do it; even the trigger flintlock mechanism was changed by him, and it was quickly developed after it was quickly developed.

But only the inconspicuous barrel cannot be developed successfully. The casting method is simply unqualified, because the inside of the barrel is not smooth, and the holes are inconsistent. In Li Ju's opinion, there is no need for testing.

It is enough to roll a barrel with iron into a barrel, but it cannot solve the air tightness and the seal cannot be closed. It is natural to explode during the test!

In the end, Li Ji tried his best to solve the problem of the gun barrel!

So now Li Ji had to apologize and said, "I am guilty, but the musket has not been developed successfully!"

Some time ago, Li Ju had already reported to Yang Song about the progress of developing a musket. After knowing the difficulty of developing a gun barrel, he just asked with hope, and he had plans to really punish him!

He knew the technical difficulty of seamless steel pipes, and there were no lathes, and there were no machine tools. This was all driven by strong power!

Yang Song had heard of industrial mother machines before, and it seemed that they were talking about precision machine tools, but now Xia Guo doesn’t have precision machine tools, even imprecise machine tools!

He knew the name of the ‘machine tool’, but he didn’t know the operating principle. He didn’t even know how the machine tool works. He couldn’t just ask Li Ju, Shen Kuo and others to develop it!

After waving his hand to signal that Li Ji was fine, he sighed in his heart, feeling sad for his knowledge. How great would it be if he had studied science and engineering before!

Unfortunately, he studied administrative management, all of which are in the liberal arts. This is a major that even most college students were afraid of talking about it!

Therefore, he also compiled part of the university's administrative management courses, which can be regarded as part of the role! - There is no shortage of talents in this area!

Seeing that the muskets were gone, he was not in a hurry. Anyway, there was no urgent need for new weapons now, so Yang Song continued to preside over the next meeting.

"Your Majesty, the "Xia Kingdom Code" has been revised for many years and has included all cases in recent years, which is relatively complete! Will the plan to prepare the "Xia Kingdom Constitution" be launched?"

Song Ci's presence in Xia Kingdom is like those researchers, very low, but his role is very great!

As the director of the Censorate Bureau, his original duty was to supervise and review whether the court's trial was illegal. However, there were not many cases in Xia Guo over the years, and there were still only trivial matters between the neighbors.

Even the Xia Kingdom has not even been built, and criminals who violate the law are usually sentenced to labor reform - just to go to mining!

So Song Ci's task became to formulate laws, and then the meeting decided whether it was applicable, whether the sentencing was appropriate, whether it was passed, etc. In fact, as long as the terms he proposed, there was basically no problem!

The importance of law is self-evident! Now I finally have a relatively complete collection of laws, but I still have a basic one, the law from the source - the Constitution!

"Is that so? It has been revised and improved?" Yang Song asked in confusion. In his impression, hasn't the law always been revised? Why is it over now?

Song Ci replied: "I am quite perfect when I go back to you. There are no cases to add now!"

Now Yang Song understands, that is to say, only what has happened can be formulated, and what has happened cannot be formulated. This is true!

Just like now Yang Song asked him to formulate a traffic law, what's the use? There is no car, and the other party can't formulate it at all!

Then Yang Song thought of what Song Ci said about formulating the "Constitution". This is really possible. He is a person who has studied the law and knows the status of the constitution - the rule of law!

"The constitution is correct! Remember to use the first few articles to show you first!" Yang Song wanted to know what the constitution formulated by Song Ci is about ruling power!

There was also the other party who actually knew the word "Constitution". Gu Huaxia did not have this statement in the past, and he didn't know if what the other party said was the same thing as what he was thinking!

But judging from Song Ci's separate proposal of the Constitution, it is probably what Yang Song understands - the fundamental law of a country!

This is either the system's credit, instilling a lot of advanced knowledge to these rewarded talents, or it is the function of a library, which contains all the knowledge of ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad before the Industrial Revolution!

Of course, there will also be legal knowledge. Song Ci knows the role of the "Constitution", so Song Ci's proposal just now makes sense!
Chapter completed!
