Chapter 875: Republican Industrial Reform
Supreme Treasure hopes to put these feasible elements in the Republic for advertising, to promote products from all over the world, and to attract people from other places to buy them.
Of course, it is also very important to focus on ensuring the quality of agricultural products, and if the quality is not up to standard, no matter how good the marketing is, it is in vain. Improve and improve the "three systems" of agricultural product production, processing and service, do a good job in the quality and safety inspection of agricultural products, and ensure that there are no quality and safety accidents throughout the year.
This is the initial idea of Supreme Treasure for agriculture, and then there is industry, which is a period that a country must go through. The historical Industrial Revolution began in the sixties of the eighteenth century, and it is generally believed that it originated in the Midlands of England and refers to the early process of capitalist industrialization, that is, the stage in which capitalist production completed the transition from workshop handicraft to machine industry. The Industrial Revolution was a production and technological revolution in which machines replaced manpower and large-scale factory production replaced manual production in individual workshops.
Because the invention and use of machines became the hallmark of this era, historians call this era the "age of machines". In the middle of the 18th century, after the Englishman Watt improved the steam engine, a series of technological revolutions caused a major leap from manual labor to power machine production. It then spread to England and the entire European continent, and to North America in the 19th century. The steam engine, coal, iron, and steel are generally considered to be the four main factors that contributed to the accelerated development of the technologies of the Industrial Revolution. Britain was the first country to start the Industrial Revolution and the first to end it.
In fact, the current republic also meets the prerequisites of the industrial revolution, that is, the production of handicrafts in the workshops of the republic can no longer meet the needs of the market, and more and more ordinary people need to get the products they need instead of just satisfying the needs of a few nobles. This put forward the demand for technological reform in the workshop handicraft industry. Under this trend, the Industrial Revolution was bound to develop in the republic.
Politically, the bourgeoisie is growing stronger in the republic; Although the republic pays attention to the people being the masters of the country, there will still be many of the best among them who will get rich first, which the Supreme Treasure does not want to curb excessively, if they can make money with strength, why should they be wiped out. These people have been granted a lot of land from the government of the Republic, and of course the Supreme Treasure will also take a kick in the name of the Republic to ensure that these people's factories are legal. After generating and gathering a large number of laborers, it also expanded the domestic market of the republic.
Thirdly, over the years, the Supreme Treasure has already exchanged war with the surrounding Western Xia and Mongolia for jade silk, and now the remaining Khitan is about to be subdued by him by forced force. In this way, the republic accumulated raw capital and provided a vast raw material area and overseas markets.
The experience accumulated during the manual labor of the Fourth Factory and the progress of production technology, with the encyclopedia that Supreme Bao carried with him and the mechanical principles in the Luban book that he himself had learned, it was no problem to develop a steam engine or the like.
Fifth, with the increase of market demand, manual production in the factory can no longer meet the demand. As a result, this revolution in machine production will inevitably break out.
Of course, this is similar to the capital economy, but combined with the model of economic development of the republic itself, it requires objective requirements. The Industrial Revolution was determined by the objective requirements of capitalist economic development. The development of the industrial economy of the Yanhuang People's Republic was the liberation revolution, which abolished the feudal system and eliminated all kinds of shackles that were not conducive to the development of republicanism, and created an important political premise for the industrial revolution.
Second, the elimination of feudalism and the small peasant economy in agriculture provided sufficient labor and a certain domestic market for the development of republican large industry. Third, the republican primitive accumulation process provided a large number of free labor and a huge amount of money capital necessary for the republican industry (because the Supreme Treasure had a lot of industries before, in fact, if he did not lead everyone to launch the war of liberation, he would already be a rich country).
The long-term development of the handicraft industry in the Fourth Republican Workshop prepared the technical conditions for the emergence of large machine production. It is generally believed that the steam engine, coal, and steel were the three main factors that contributed to the accelerated development of the industrial revolution technology. The Industrial Revolution all started with light industry and moved on to other sectors. Before Watt's improvement of the steam engine, the entire production power relied on human and animal power. With the invention and improvement of the steam engine, factories were no longer built along rivers or streams, and many of the tasks that had previously relied on human and manual work were replaced by mechanized production after the invention of the steam engine. The industrial revolution is an incomparable and tremendous change of the general political revolution, and its impact involves all aspects of human social life, which has brought about tremendous changes in human society, played an irreplaceable role in promoting the modernization process of human beings, and pushed mankind into a new "steam age".
For the supreme treasure living in modern times, if he wants to build a steam engine or lathe, although it is a little difficult, as long as everyone works together, he believes that it can still be completed. Back in the day, when the Western European countries and the United States were vigorously revolutionized, the Qing Dynasty was dreaming of a "great power in the Celestial Empire", and Britain and other countries would not let go of this land that could plunder wealth, which was also a reason for the Opium War. After the start of the Industrial Revolution, British aggression against India and Southeast Asia intensified, and India, Egypt, and Burma successively became British colonies and semi-colonies. Although the Supreme Treasure has not encountered these countries yet, it will definitely not let such a thing happen.
He counted the days, at this time the European countries were also in the republican ancient Roman period, he was ready to wait until the entire Central Plains was stabilized, and then he would continue to move the West into the West and complete the entire round of the world, he wanted to be the first person in the world in this era!
Imagine the benefits of the Industrial Revolution, which enabled an important transformation from a traditional agrarian society to a modern industrial society. The Industrial Revolution created tremendous productive forces and brought about earth-shaking changes in society. The Industrial Revolution was also a profound change in social relations. It clearly divides society into two opposing classes, the industrial bourgeoisie and the industrial proletariat, but Supreme Treasure hopes that there will be no re-emergence of the exploiting class in the process, which will make him very sad.
He also planned to spread this bold idea to neighboring Mongols and Western Xia when the industrial reform of the Republic matured, so that they could also learn from this set of industrial reforms. In this way, not only is the republic gradually becoming stronger, but other countries around it can also be driven by him to develop together, and the republic can also ensure its leading level and serve as a good leader, so why not?
