Chapter 290: Building an Industrial Power
Lin Hu disappeared, Zhao Xing, facing his newly painted territory, excitedly and proudly announced: "Now, our territory is the crown of the princes in the world, let's start to build him, manage him, our Tang Dynasty's big construction, big development, start, everyone, let's demolish and build." ”
Zhao Xing was not in such a good mood, because Lin Hu in the north disappeared, and in the south of Qin, King Qin Huiwen died, and during the mourning period, the more tragic battle for the throne was in full swing, and he had no time to take care of himself, and Zhao Yong in the east also abided by the covenant and fully supported himself as a teacher. Now, Tang Kingdom is a good time for the neighbors to be quiet, and Datang takes the opportunity to do a good job of infrastructure construction for the big move.
First of all, Zhao Xing set his sights on the eastern part of the original Linhu grassland, bordering the Yellow River in the south, the Yinshan Mountains across the north and south, the diversity of the mountain terrain in the grassland plain, and a multi-mineral deposit in the upper right corner of the Yellow River, especially the largest high-quality and high-grade iron ore in China.
Will everyone shout in unison - steel is Baotou.
NO, Zhao Xing resolutely denied it, not this position, but this name, which is too vulgar, always makes people feel that there is an image of an old lady wrapped in a headscarf.
Therefore, Zhao Xing, in accordance with my nature of being the master of my territory, waved his pen: "Jiuyuan" appeared on the map of Datang. Actually, the name is not bad.
With a group of disciples who were sent by the Mojia Scholars of the Hundred Techniques Palace in advance and had outstanding abilities in geological exploration, first of all, in the upper reaches of the Kundulun River in Yinshan, the deepest place, the site was selected and then the "Hundred Techniques Palace" was built
Such a move moved the Mo family at that time, and it was also that the Tang King did not first build his own capital palace in accordance with the rules, but first built the Xue Palace, which is enough to see that the Tang King attaches great importance to science and the Mo family, how can it not be moved?
The first batch of people who moved from Dai-gun began to build roads. This is also Zhao Xing's hard work, the first batch of people who came over have no land foundation, and they must be allowed to have jobs and food, so as to stabilize the people's hearts.
Leaving a Mo disciple to preside over the construction of the school palace, Zhao Xing no longer cares. They build their own homes, how they like to build them, even if they simply dig a few caves, or build a heavenly fairy palace, they don't care. According to Zhao Xing, it is called respecting their own wishes. In fact, Zhao Xing was lazy and busy.
Zhao Xing is busy because he has a big plan in his chest, and these things that are beyond the cognition of his predecessors must be done by himself.
First of all, this vast territory has really become its own territory, and here, I no longer have to look at anyone's eyes, and I will not give up many things in order to balance the interests of all classes.
For example, now he can let go and build a complete industrial system on this land waiting to be reclaimed, and build his Tang Empire into an industrial country.
This is not an overly big step, but a realistic need and achievable.
For example, the development of industry in Daijun cannot be completely liberalized. Because he was influenced by the solidified class of the entire Zhao State.
He couldn't make steel, because the Zongzheng family of Zhao held the patent, and he couldn't make chariots, because the Liao clan was arbitrary there. He couldn't even burn the kiln, because it was the monopoly of the Tian family.
If he relies on his golden finger to participate in these various industries, he will be attacked by many family forces, which will not only make his ambition die before he is paid, but also make the Zhao State that he wanted to take care of in the blink of an eye.
That is the rule, the rule with a deep historical background, which can only make him watch the industrial level of this era stagnate because of monopoly.
But now, the vast uncultivated territory in front of me no longer has the heavy and rigid rules and constraints of the heavy historical background in the past. I am in charge of my territory, I am the boss here, no one can control me, I can toss as much as I like. On the contrary, whoever stops me from tossing, I will destroy him.
The first one to stand up and stop Zhao Xing from being so frightened was Qin Mo, the right minister of the Tang Dynasty.
"The people regard food as the sky, and agriculture as the foundation of the country, which is the unchanging truth through the ages. Especially in relation to our future great migration, we must have enough land for those million people, and we must have enough food for them so that they will not go hungry. And those smelting iron, burning pottery, let's put it first, king, you can't sacrifice your roots to seek the end. ”
In the face of Qin Mo's stopping, Zhao Xing thought that he was kind-hearted, but he had no vision limited to the ideological imprisonment of this era, and he could not stop himself.
"My help, first of all, I will inform you that in our Dai County, the official warehouse has long stored a grain reserve that can last for three years for the people of our country. Eat well, this in three years, no problem. ”
Qin Mo breathed a long sigh of relief: "But-"
"However, according to your method, it is impossible to reclaim the land to produce food now, because it is unrealistic for the land to be cultivated and the raw land to produce food normally. So, I'm going to make a quick buck and go to the four customs clearances to buy a steady stream of food for us. Then he pointed to the rapidly rising pottery kiln: "For example, the pottery kiln I am building now, I don't call him a pottery kiln, I call him a porcelain kiln." I want to be here to fire the world's unique exquisite utensils, porcelain, unique in the world, marketing the world. With such a small amount of labor, such a fine porcelain bowl is fired, such as a fine porcelain bowl, to sell a wheat, and there is absolutely no discount, so that we can exchange for a large amount of grain, according to the output ratio, a potter, enough to be worth the output of hundreds of farmers, isn't this good? ”
Porcelain, there was already in this era, in the Shang Dynasty. As for who invented it, of course, it is the great working people who said it.
Here in later generations, the most unearthed pottery in Zhao Guojiuyuan County, that is, now Zhao Xing stands in this later generation called Baotou.
But the porcelain of this era is, strictly speaking, semi-porcelain. The process of firing the semi-porcelain is very simple, that is, it depends on Mongolia, and if it is not burned well, it is pottery, and if it is burned well, it may be half porcelain.
The key thing is that people have not yet understood the role of glaze, and there is no effect of temperature, that is, there is no glaze to turn pottery into porcelain, and there is no reheating furnace, so that the furnace temperature is more than 1,200 degrees higher.
But in front of the traversers, the knowledge in this later primary school textbook is no longer knowledge, but common sense.
Qin Mo didn't know how to burn porcelain, but he understood that a potter could produce grain from a hundred farmers, and he understood this account. After all, people who are determined to change are not brainless. So, he gave up his insistence and turned to leave. People are kings and gods, so let him toss.
With a group of professionals, he ran directly to a huge mountain bend, and then looked around, and then stomped his feet: "Come, just dig here until the iron ore is dug out." ”
The professional person of the Baiji Palace retorted: "According to the direction of the world, look-" After a large number of professional feudal superstitious terms, he decisively refuted to Zhao Xing: "In short, there will be no iron ore here." ”
Zhao Xing carefully observed the surrounding terrain again and the information in his head, and finally Zhao Xing stomped his feet: "I am a god stick, I said that there is iron ore here, there must be it, dig it." ”
More than 10,000 hired immigrants did not hesitate to abandon the science of the Mo family, firmly believed in the judgment of the gods, and began to sweat - anyway, as long as you listen to the king's work, you will be paid, as for whether there is an iron mine or not, who cares about him, if you have money, you can make money.
"Here, dig again until the coal is dug out, why is there coal here, because I am a god stick and I have the final say." As a result, another group of hired immigrants began to sweat and sweat.
"Here, dig again, and you must dig out the location of the copper mine. Hey, why don't you refute it? ”
A group of Xuegong disciples looked at him like idiots: "Since you are a god stick, then you are in charge." ”
When the news came that the first location had really mined high-grade iron ore, the Mozi really believed that their king might really have a mysterious power, and he was really a god.
"Transforming the annoyance of a nomadic people into a real civilized person in the Central Plains, and transforming an agricultural country into an industrial power is the basic national policy of our Datang. Therefore, I can't rely on my magic stick, let me be the guide of the Hundred Techniques Palace, and be the beacon of your future development direction, I still need the efforts of you children of the Hundred Techniques Palace. Zhao Xing cheered up the Mo family disciples who were a little discouraged.
If you want to develop, you still need scientific talents, which is more reliable than the god stick.
