Chapter 1436: Two Years in a Hurry (Part I)

As the saying goes: the people take food as the sky.

But among the 'food, clothing, housing and transportation', 'clothing' ranks first, why is this?

One can go without clothes, but one cannot go without food, and food will accompany a human being throughout his life from birth to death.

So, from that point of view, food is more important than clothes, right?

But the ancients ranked 'clothing' in front of 'food', and there is a reason for this.

The ancients believed that the reason why people are human and different from other beasts is not only because they can use tools, but also because they have more thoughts and morals, and 'clothes' can not only cover the body and avoid the cold, but also let people always remember that the reason why we are human is that we are bound by morality.

Food is the basic material necessary for human survival, and it is the foundation of human survival and continuation.

Therefore, the word "food" is ranked second, while the word "clothing" that can restrain human morality is ranked first.

The word "clothing" is above food, which is the importance that the ancients attached to their own moral character, and it is also above food.

The importance of 'clothing' is self-evident, and in troubled times, cloth for making clothes is also the most valuable thing, and it can even replace gold and silver as currency to trade.

And if the weaving technology is improved, the amount of cloth can be increased, which means that more wealth has been obtained.

Therefore, after seeing Jenny's spinning machine, Qin Hao was so excited.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were actually looms and spinning machines, but they were too backward and the efficiency of production was too low.

The Jenny spinning machine was invented by the British weaver James Hargreaves in 1764, although it still requires manpower, but it is 8 times more than the spinning capacity of the old spinning wheel in Britain at that time, which is the beginning of the first industrial revolution.

In 1764, although the old spinning machine in Britain was still backward, its efficiency was at least ten times that of the late Han spinning machine more than 1,500 years ago, which means that as long as Qin Hao had Jenny spinning machine, the total amount of cloth produced under his rule was at least ten times or more than before.

In fact, the finances of the Qin army have always been very tight, after all, it has to support a large number of troops, and at the same time, the construction work in various places under its command is also continuing.

At the same time, the cultivation and recuperation are developing in the Arrow God, which naturally requires a huge amount of capital supply, but such a huge funding gap is impossible to fill by taxes alone.

Therefore, since the Battle of Hetao, the Qin army has been in a state of imbalance, if it were not for the support of the treasure of Tiangong, I am afraid that the finances would have collapsed long ago.

According to Qin Hao's original plan, after two years of cultivation and construction, all localities under his command will not only recover their vitality, but also get a certain amount of development wealth, and the current political income will definitely exceed the expenditure, and they will naturally get rid of this imbalance between revenue and expenditure, and re-embark on a benign road of sustainable development and construction.

But if Qin Hao gets Jenny's spinning machine, the productivity of the Qin army will increase dramatically in the short term, and create several times the wealth and resources of the previous one, and it will not take two years for the Qin army to return to breaking even.

I have to say that the Jenny spinning machine is definitely a great weapon, but the exchange price is really not cheap, it costs 500 summon points, which is more than the sum of the four technologies exchanged before.

Although it is expensive, it is also worth the money, as long as it is possessed, the productivity between the Qin army and the other princes will be completely opened, so Qin Hao will definitely not let it go no matter what.

"Exchange Jenny Spinning Machine." Qin Hao ordered.

[Okay, Jenny Spinning Machine manufacturing blueprint, the exchange is successful, 500 summon points are consumed, and the host is currently left: 3400 summon points. 】

After a flash of strong light, a drawing appeared in Qin Hao's hand, which was the manufacturing drawing of Jenny's spinning machine.

Qin Hao forcibly endured the excitement in his heart, and said to himself with a smile: "With it, it will be impossible for the major princes to catch up with me in the future, and the gap between them and me will only get bigger and bigger." ”

The premise of the current sentence is that other princes are not allowed to get Jenny spinning machines, otherwise other princes will also usher in a big explosion of productivity, and arbitrariness is also very important for the secrecy of Jenny spinning machines.

After exchanging the Jenny machine, Qin Hao continued to browse other items, and exchanged them for seeds of seven crops: cotton, carrots, corn, tomatoes, peppers, pumpkins, and rape flowers.

In fact, many crops in China are not produced locally, during the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian brought back many crops from the Western Regions: cucumbers, sesame, walnuts, pepper, coriander, broad beans, garlic, grapes, pomegranates, watermelons, spinach, etc., which shows that Zhang Qian's achievements are really great.

As for the seven crops that Qin Hao exchanged this time:

Cotton was introduced to China during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, carrots were in the late Song and early Yuan dynasties, corn was in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, tomatoes were in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, peppers were in the late Ming Dynasty, and pumpkins were in the Yuan Dynasty.

As for rape flowers, they were introduced to China in the mid-50s of the 20th century after the establishment of New China.

Qin Hao is not indiscriminately exchanged, the cotton produced in cotton can be used to make cotton clothes, and with Jenny's spinning machine, it can promote the development of the textile industry.

Corn is also a high-yielding grain, and when paired with potatoes and sweet potatoes, grain production can be further increased.

Carrots, tomatoes, pumpkin, increasing the variety of edible vegetables.

Chili peppers can be used for flavoring, and rape flowers can be used for oil.

In short, the seven crops that Qin Hao exchanged were all things that could help him.

Although the value of these things is high, after all, what is exchanged is only seeds, and Qin Hao needs to cultivate it himself to dig out the value, so the exchange price is not too expensive, except for the corn worth 150 summon points, the other six kinds add up to only 250 summon points.

After exchanging seven kinds of crops and consuming 400 summon points, the summon points in Qin Hao's hands have also dropped to 3000 to take you, and 2000 of them have been reserved to summon millions of people, so there are only 1000 summon points left for Qin Hao to squander.

Qin Hao recalled it and found that he had exchanged a lot of good things from the mall, including:

Blast furnace steelmaking method

Harness full set of blueprints

Glass firing method

Soap manufacturing technology

The first generation of hybrid rice rice seeds

Cement manufacturing method

36 articles of Xuancheng papermaking

Genetically modified potato bean seeds

Song crossbow manufacturing drawings

Daming Shipbuilding Manual

Haitian soy sauce recipe

Haitian aged vinegar recipe

24 Laws of Oil Refining in the XXI Century

Jenny spinning machine

And: cotton, carrots, corn, tomatoes, peppers, pumpkin, canola flowers

Unconsciously, under the influence of Qin Hao, intentionally or unintentionally, this era has been completely unrecognizable, and the process of civilization can be described as developing rapidly.

Qin Hao, who has so many good things, in fact, even if he doesn't expand externally, he only needs to digest the things in his hands, and he can also become the overlord of the princes, but he has never forgotten his original intention, that is, to end the troubled times and dominate the world.

In order to unify the world as soon as possible, Qin Hao chose to hibernate, and in the next two years, Qin Hao has been recuperating to accumulate strength.

Qin Hao was like a big mountain, which overwhelmed the princes from all walks of life, and when they saw Qin Hao entering the comprehensive cultivation, the princes everywhere couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and then started a more fierce annexation war.
