The little Count Tang decided to dig a ditch first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Logically speaking, adjusting the cultivation method is much simpler than digging ditches, but when it comes to implementation, I am afraid that the little Tang Count will kill the heads of the peasants, and these peasants will not agree.

Why? This is the way we have been farming for generations, so why is it wrong for you to say wrong? Where did the hairy boy come from? Have you ever been on the ground? Dare to say big things here without going down?

Etcetera.

But to tell the truth, this is not to blame these peasants, it is the Count of Xiao Tang who is too self-righteous and does not take into account the actual situation - these lands, and the annual production of the land, are the only capital on which the peasants depend for their livelihood, and they can only grasp this only straw. A piece of land, even if it only grows weeds a year, is the hope of a family to survive. Until they see the actual results, the peasants will never simply listen to anyone's empty words and hand over their own lives and the lives of their families to whomever they want. It's as if we're never going to put our family's money in the hands of a stranger.

But digging a ditch, it's much simpler.

First of all, labor, theoretically free—the lord could do anything to the peasants in his domain—this was the authority given to the lord by God. Besides, even if Count Xiao Tang doesn't give it, will these peasants dare to oppose him?

But the little Count Tang still paid the peasants, which is not to say that the little Count Tang was a fool, but out of practical considerations - as we all know, even the blackest boss of capitalism also knows how to give his slaves a meal every day, otherwise how can he be motivated to work.

It's the difference between passive and active, a little wage, no matter how much, even if it's a 'French stick' every day, that's an attitude, so that the peasants know that the lords here are different and won't let you work in vain, of course, it's not really useful.

In our education in the 21st century, peasant uncles are simple, industrious, and kind, but is this really the case?

The peasants are indeed simple, but they are cunning at the same time, the peasants are indeed industrious, but they are at the same time lazy, the peasants are indeed kind, but they are cruel at the same time. The two sides of human beings are vividly reflected in these humblest people.

They are simple because strangers do not harm their interests, they are industrious because they cultivate their own land, and they are kind because in those dark years people could not live without cooperating with each other. But if someone jeopardizes their interests, for example, if the lord asks them to collect taxes, they become cunning and dangerous, and complaining, lying, and begging are more natural things for them than breathing—the year is not good, the wife is sick, the children are sick, they are sick, they are sick, the church has only collected tithes—in short, it is better for the lord not to collect taxes, and it is better to give them some leftovers.

In this case, the development of things can be imagined, and Count Xiao Tang personally went down to the field to check, and his nose was crooked! It's been a few days, and I haven't even dug the beginning yet!

Hundreds of peasants stood there, occasionally the overseer came and waved his hoe twice, and when no one was looking, they lay down to sleep—they would rather lie down and sleep than lift a finger!

Don't they all know that ditches are dug for everyone's benefit?

Of course they do, but what does it matter? I don't dig, there will always be people who dig, and even if no one digs, it's a big deal to stay half-dead like now, anyway, every year.

So the little Count Tang came to his senses, and he knew that he had made a mistake again.

It's a matter of organization, just like charcoal and diamonds, even though they are both charcoal, they have different structures, so the results are very different.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in the 28 years of the chairman's era, a total of large, medium and small (more than 100,000 cubic meters) reservoirs were built8. 60,000, 6.4 million dams (less than 100,000 cubic meters); The total storage capacity is more than 400 billion cubic meters. The total length of artificial canals is more than 3 million kilometers, 2.2 million wells are supported, and the total length of various embankments is 16. 50,000 km. The volume of its "total project" is equivalent to 361 billion cubic meters of earth and rock, which is equivalent to 1,200 Three Gorges projects. If we refer to the current cost of water conservancy projects, the total cost is 240 trillion yuan. More than all of China's GDP from 1980 to 2008 combined. What is amazing is that such a huge investment in water conservancy construction was only 7 percent of the total investment in capital construction in the country at that time. 08%！

Is there any difference between the peasants of the founding period and the peasants of the Middle Ages? They are all human beings, they have to eat, drink, sleep, and worry about food, shelter, and transportation. However, the peasants during the founding of the People's Republic of China, they had ideals and they were willing to contribute, and this was the most essential difference.

Count Tang asked himself if he was not that great man, he didn't have that ability, he didn't have that ability, and there was no communist belief in this world until now, but since it was easy to do when it came to faith, whether it was communism or Christ, it was almost the same for the peasants.

But there are still many things that give Count Don a headache! In contrast, it is best for the peasants not to cooperate - for example, the peasants who beep are still using wooden ploughs!

However, this is how rare and strange the little Earl Tang is, iron is a symbol of strength no matter what era and place. Even now, steel production is the most important criterion for evaluating a country's industrial strength. In ancient times, when the productive forces were not developed, except for monsters like China, other countries - such as Russia, until the 19th century, serfs used wooden plows to work in the fields!

The main reason for this difference is the difference between the tech tree in China and Europe.

Europa's iron-smelting technology, as we often see in movies or novels, is a blacksmith shop, a blacksmith and a few apprentices, a small workshop is produced in a family style, opening the bellows and striking two hammers when needed, and not using it when it is not needed. Naturally, such a way of working would not allow for large-scale collectivization of iron smelting.

But China's unique blast furnace technology is completely different from these.

The blast furnace, this is a double-edged sword, this is a monster that devours everything, swallowing iron ore and limestone, and spitting out bright molten iron. There is a famous joke that in times of economic crisis, the owner of the blast furnace plant would rather throw all the smelted iron into the sea than let the blast furnace stop for a day!

Taking a standard volume blast furnace, a 1080 cubic meter blast furnace, as an example, the cost of stopping production and then igniting is between 10 million and 20 million - the exact amount depends on luck - and it is inevitable that the shutdown will cause damage to the blast furnace.

By the way, the world's largest and China's largest blast furnace is in Zhangjiagang, with a volume of 5,860 cubic meters and a daily output of 1 steel. 30,000 tons! Enough to build two Eiffel Towers and left!

This is a decisive gap, because ancient China was a unified regime, so it was possible to concentrate the power of the whole country to do things, and the blacksmith did not just serve a village, or a town, but smelted iron for the whole country, and naturally pursued high production. In the Middle Ages, Europa, with its wars and fragments, needed hundreds of blacksmiths for a kingdom and a few dozen for a principality, and perhaps one for a county was enough, in this case, it was natural that blast furnace technology had not been developed.

In fact, from the middle of the 17th century, due to the unification of the country and the awakening of national consciousness, blast furnace technology was finally widely used in Europe, and Britain became the first to eat crabs - which also led to the rapid rise of Britain's industrial power, and finally made 'Britain' become 'the sun never sets'!

In addition to iron, the most important work on the measurement of ditches, since the collapse of the Roman Empire, these techniques have all been lost! Even the current Eastern Romans are living on their old books, digging some old paper in the parchment pile, and it is so difficult for them to even inherit, let alone innovate!

After learning the reality, Count Xiao Tang finally despaired: "It is said that the beginning is difficult, the beginning is difficult, but Nima doesn't even have a head, how can I open it?!" ”

In the night, this wail is like the wailing of the Bashan ape, and the aftermath is lingering and endless.
