Chapter 171: The Man-Made Industrial Revolution
The progress of society depends on this constant innovation, just like England in the sixteenth century, perhaps with a slight kick, kicked away the beginning of an era, like Hargreaves, this man kicked over his wife's spinning machine, and then the whole era began to change, and a large number of goods were produced, and then there was the panic of the people brought about by the unsalable, and the bankruptcy of the capitalists.

After that, the government came to the rescue, and then there was dumping, and because of the uneven interests, then there was war, and war made science and technology constantly improve, and then there was everything now.
Li Chengyan naturally wouldn't tell Li Er these words, and Li Er didn't understand them, so Li Chengyan chose to use practical actions to prove how terrible the product dumping in this era is.
Of course, the advantage of the prophet is to bypass many unnecessary detours, just like the current Li Chengyan, because he knows what will happen in the future, he will try his best to avoid him, the industrial revolution in the previous life gave Li Chengyan a lot of inspiration, a country's pillar industry is a sign of whether the country is rich and strong, Datang has never lacked diligent people, nor is it short of smart people, what they lack is only the kick in the door before development, and Li Chengyan has prepared everything.
For the first time, Li Chengyan solemnly called the officials of the entire Chang'an, of course, and his father, this is not a court meeting, just a simple regular meeting, but this meeting must indicate that the entire Tang Dynasty will move on a trajectory that has never been foreseen.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I promise to invite you to come this time, but to discuss a matter, it is related to the fortune of the Tang Dynasty, and I dare not dare to be specialized, but I also ask you to have an idea."
Everyone looked at this domineering prince strangely, does Li Chengyan need someone else to give him ideas to do things? When did Li Chengyan also learn to discuss national affairs?
The eldest grandson Wuji and the ministers were all smiling, the first time I saw the arrogant Li Chengyan speak in a tone different from the past, although the words were respectful before, but the lofty temperament between the words was always revealed in every word and deed, the previous Li Chengyan wanted to be a child who was in a hurry, and now Li Chengyan is more like a calm adult.
"But the prince said it was okay, but he regretted building a city on the grassland? There is no way around this, the city has already been built, so you can't spend a lot of money to demolish it. ”
Li Chengyan knew that Chu Suiliang was ridiculing himself, and before the city was built, Chu Suiliang was the most opposed to his own city, but this opposition was not mixed with any political factors, just a simple difference in concepts. So Li Chengyan doesn't care much about this kind of ridicule.
"Chu Gong, it's not as you said, the city on the grassland is my most proud work, in the future, you will see a different grassland, of course, this matter has something to do with the grassland, but it has little to do with it."
Because it was not a serious court meeting, although the minister was restrained, he did not have the tense atmosphere of the court meeting, and Li Chengyan's words made everyone even more confused.
The eldest grandson Wuji came out of class and said to Li Chengyan in a very relaxed tone: "Your Highness, if you have something to say, after all, it is not a day off, so as not to miss your official business." ”
Li Chengyan stood in the middle of the crowd, cleared his throat and said, "Since this is the case, that kid is showing off." ”
"The Book of Rites and the University" has the saying that "knowledge is in Gewu, and then knowledge is in the object", Gewu is the cornerstone of the eight purposes of the three outlines and eight orders, and Gewu is the reason of all things, since ancient times, people have been constantly in Gewu, from slash and burn farming, to the current ox ploughing manpower, from the original wood to grab the wooden sword, to the current fine iron sword, all of which are the work of Gewu, he makes us more efficient production, so that we greatly reduce the burden of labor,"
Li Chengyan used the Gewu in the university as the beginning of the following words, and everyone nodded in agreement, but then Li Chengyan turned around and said another thing.
"I don't know if you still remember the fact that Sima Laozu opened a academy in Yushan, I originally thought that you would strongly oppose it, but I didn't expect that you would not only agree to the family teacher to teach the vertical and horizontal learning in Yushan, but also let hundreds of schools enter the temple, which is really beyond my expectations."
After Li Chengyan finished speaking, he heard Kong Yingda say in a somewhat ridiculous and serious voice.
"It turns out that in the eyes of the prince, my Confucian people are so intolerant? After the next dynasty, the old man will definitely reason with you,"
"Haha, and me"
"And me"
After everyone heard Kong Yingda laughing, they all joined in the fun, Li Chengyan touched his nose in embarrassment, and then said in a begging tone: "You are all Confucians, why bother with me as a child, but laughing is laughing, presumably this Mo family has also brought us a lot of benefits, from iron smelting to mining, from farming to housing and transportation, you should all have feelings." ”
"That's true,"
Li Er looked at Li Chengyan curiously and answered, but Li Er seemed to be more and more confused the more he listened, so he heard Li Chengyan say again.
"There will be a solution to everything, but there are some things that we haven't found yet, so let's talk about cement first. At the beginning, you should still have the impression that from crushed stone to the kiln, all of them are done by manpower, which is not only laborious, but also greatly increases the cost of production, but now? With the stone crusher of the water wheel, the railroad track, and the coal, the cost of a kiln of cement can reach one-tenth of the original. This is the improvement of production level, if we use this thing elsewhere, will it also improve a certain production efficiency? Last night I stayed up all night, in order to find a way to improve production efficiency, the first thing that made me think of is the silk of Datang, cloth, the so-called clothing, food, housing and transportation, clothing is the first important, the current level of production, a skilled female worker can only produce one piece of cloth a month, just before the circulation of silver coins, donations can already be used as currency, which proves the importance of cloth, so I want to use machines instead of manpower to weave. ”
Li Er finally understood what Li Chengyan was going to say, but Li Er still didn't understand, it was just weaving, so why should he use such a big battle? Li Er was thinking about it when he heard Li Chengyan say.
"But there is always a pros and cons in everything, the next thing is to listen carefully, after the production efficiency is improved, it will greatly stimulate the market, the original small workshop will be impacted, which will lead to their bankruptcy, this is the first batch of people who lost, but there will be another group of people who use the new machine workshop cloth to get huge benefits, and then their finished cloth will gradually flow into the market, and then they will recruit workers, so there will be a large number of workers recruited into the workshop, which causes."
Before Li Chengyan's words were finished, Li Er answered: "The money you earn in the workshop is more than what you get from farming, so a large number of people who farm will flow into the workshop." ”
As soon as Li Er's words were finished, the entire court fell into a dead silence, (to be continued.) )
