Chapter 273: The Sprout of Capitalism

Winter to spring, with the passage of time, the Song Empire Yuan Yu 33 years, after nearly five years of conquest, the Great Song Dynasty war against the Angkor Dynasty has officially ended last year, for the war with the Khmer is Zhao Xu since he came to this world, the longest war, a large number of Song Imperial cavalry, in the entire river, dense forests on the southeast peninsula, almost become a chicken rib arms, a large number of firearms in the rainforest humid climate under the influence of the power is also greatly reduced, I am afraid in the Ordnance Department formally developed******** Before and ****, Zhao Xu could only sigh at the power discount of firearms in a humid environment, and there was nothing he could do.

War cannot be carried out all the time, for Zhao Xu, war is just the means he used for the Chinese Han people to cross the world, and as the emperor of the empire, his main task is how to make the people live better, throughout the long history of China for 5,000 years, since the Xia, Shang and Zhou had a state form, until the pathetic pigtail dynasty, only the Song Dynasty generation appeared the germ of capitalism, why? The development of science and technology, the sufficiency of the population, the convenient transportation, and the open policy of the imperial court at that time, and since Zhao Xu ascended the throne, although the war continued, a large number of domestic and foreign trade, under the operation of the country's machinery, operated rapidly, and with the research and development of hybrid grains and recyclable agriculture of the Ministry of Households, the continuous innovation of the Ministry of Industry on agricultural machinery, so that more farmers were freed from the shackles of the land, and since the war against Jin Liao, the entire northern grassland was all included in the territory of the Song Empire. The Khitans, Jurchens, and Mongols who originally galloped on the grassland all disappeared in the long river of history because of Zhao Xu's means, and instead of them, they naturally became countless Han people herding horses and sheep on this vast grassland, with the increasing number of cattle and sheep, the herdsmen will naturally put a large number of skin, hair, bones, tendons, milk and other animal husbandry products in their hands to the surrounding towns for sale, and a large number of raw materials have greatly driven the rapid development of animal husbandry-related industries around them, exquisite and gorgeous wool carpets, Soft and insulated cashmere sweaters, all kinds of exquisite special dairy snacks, and then the wisdom of the Han people into these commodities, this has formed an animal husbandry industry chain with obvious Chinese characteristics. And when everyone in the world once again mentions wool carpets, dairy products and fur clothing, it is no longer the Persian region and the big food country of Central Asia, but the Song Empire, the mysterious Oriental empire famous for producing fine and expensive porcelain, silk and tea, and the military industry chain that requires skin and tendons as raw materials has also continued to rise with the development of animal husbandry in the northern steppes, and the development is more vigorous. If we were to turn back the clock by 30 years, I don't think any Song people would think that the north, which has always been at war, would have the rich and prosperous side it has today.

The high yield of cotton on Longyou Road, also drives the rapid development of the textile industry, looking at the silk, tea, porcelain with different characteristics throughout the country, pottery and so on, etc., in the acquisition, transportation, and sales of the imperial commercial house under the one-stop business model, constantly in the whole country and even with foreign economic trade so that the court and the people of the Great Song Dynasty all earn a lot of money, and this time madeinchina is an extremely expensive luxury, In addition, the characteristics of the Chinese Han people for money are constantly hoarding so that a large amount of money flows into the Great Song Dynasty, but the outflow is a very small part, which also makes the Song Empire like a huge gold-absorbing sponge, constantly absorbing the wealth left from all over the world, and under the influence of the economic environment of the Song Empire, a country that adapts to the budding capitalism, these continuous hoarding of wealth have laid a solid foundation for the future capitalist explosion of the Great Song Dynasty.

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the Great Dynasty Meeting

On the solemn golden hall, sixteen large copper furnaces that are made into dragon pillars are burned very strongly, so that the entire hall of the Daqing Hall is filled with a refreshing warmth, and the chiefs of the major ministries and departments are also accompanied by this comfortable warmth, to Zhao Xu, who is sitting behind the dragon case, is making this year's year-end work summary report, and now it is the old comrade Liu Shihai who is making a report to Zhao Xu, and after this year-end report, I don't know how many times Comrade Liu can still do such a year-end summary report, because Liu Shihai is almost oldWhen Zhao Xu first came to this world, Liu Shihai was almost fifty years old, and now Liu Shihai is already over the age of old, going straight to the post-80s, and after the tempering of the twenty years of officialdom, Jiang Jing, who has been working from the grassroots level in the household department, is almost a talent who can completely take charge of himself.

"Your Majesty, after these years of continuous development, China's economic system has appeared a very efficient form, due to the use and popularization of a large number of advanced agricultural machinery, most of the people in our country have been freed from the shackles of the land on them, forming a huge group of free labor, and with the development of a large number of agricultural and sideline industries such as animal husbandry, textile industry, food processing industry, as well as the development of mining, smelting, forging, construction and other industries, a large number of various industries, agricultural and sideline industries and handicraft workshops have appeared in ChinaTake the weaving industry alone, China's cloth weaving last year totaled 74 million horses, spinning 180 million catties, and because this year's Ministry of Industry used the waterwheel technology originally used for weapon forging in weaving, and at the science and technology conference last winter, a common man invented a large spinning wheel with 20 spindles to be officially used, according to the statistics of our household department this year, This year's cloth weaving and spinning volume in China has increased by more than 60 times. Liu Shihai heard the sound of all the courtiers inhaling cold air, and after his bad taste was satisfied, he continued to open his mouth and say: "Therefore, this year's cloth weaving totals 440 million horses, and the spinning is 10.8 billion catties. Liu Shihai said this, all the people were surprised again, although they had been very mentally prepared, but such a huge number, or let everyone feel a burst of inexplicable surprise, followed by incomparable excitement, yes, when anyone's country becomes extremely rich and powerful, people will feel extremely proud, but Liu Shihai did not stop there, and bowed to Zhao Xu on the dragon seat again and said: "The development of recyclable ecological agriculture that His Majesty specially emphasized the year before last, and this year, It has also obtained a relatively ideal result, the peasant households in the Tongxian Ecological Agriculture Special Zone demarcated by His Majesty have all carried out agricultural development for two years in accordance with the development plan of ecological agriculture formulated by His Majesty, and the amount of grain produced on their land has increased by two to three percent compared with last year, and because of the use of the agricultural greenhouse invented by His Majesty, the temperature in the greenhouse is still like that hot summer, and all the vegetables and fruits can grow normally, and the rise is extremely good. ”

Speaking of this ecological agriculture, in fact, in modern times, it is not an advanced technology, but in ancient times, this agricultural theory has not been discovered and used by agricultural experts in ancient times, so Zhao Xu put forward the theory of recyclable agriculture that is common in later generations, and asked the household department to optimize this theory, and conduct experiments in the experimental area assigned by Zhao Xu himself. And what does this circular agriculture specifically mean, simply put, it is an agricultural chain, each single agricultural project is all interlocking, sympathetic, for example, pig farm pigs and fish in the fish pond excrement, and raw soil for stirring, fermentation, is a very good pure green ecological fertilizer, these fertilizers can make crops get very high nutritional value, and will not appear like the chemical fertilizer of later generations of chemical raw materials, all kinds of harmful substances such as excessive harm to the human body, After the grain is produced, the straw and (huo) excess excrement are formed in a huge closed biogas digester, which is transported to the kang hole or pot stove in the homes of all farmers within the scope of the biogas digester through pipelines, and the fire is cooked by fire, and the kang is kept warm, and after the raw materials in the biogas digester can no longer produce biogas, the raw materials inside are dug out, and then stirred with the saline-alkali soil of the saline-alkali land, which can play a good role in transforming the saline-alkali land, and the wheat and rice are harvested. The coarse bran left over after hulling, and the residue left after grinding into flour and rice flour, mixed with grass meal, bean dregs, and peanut dregs to become high-quality feed, all of which are interlocked, forming what is now called circular agriculture.

After listening to Liu Shihai's report, Zhao Xu stroked his short beard and said: "According to the development trend of this year's household statistics, the country's economic situation this year is still relatively gratifying, since the speed of the development of the handicraft industry is so rapid, the imperial commercial houses should also speed up the circulation of many goods, as well as accelerate the expansion of overseas markets, do not only focus on tea, silk, porcelain, our country also has carpets in the north, animal skins, salt in the East, fish, a variety of exquisite handmade arts and other large number of high-quality products, All of them are sold outward. ”

"Obey." After speaking, Liu Shihai slowly retreated to his shift.

"Ministry of Works, tell me about your situation." Zhao Xu said

Hearing Zhao Xu call himself, Xu Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, hurriedly went out of work and bowed to Zhao Xu and said: "According to the work plan report at the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Industry has completed the plan for the manufacture of cement avenues, industrial and commercial vessels, and agricultural machinery this year, and the water conservancy spinning machine, water conservancy loom, wind textile machine and wind spinning machine that were developed and developed the year before last year have also been formally tested last year, and were officially delivered to the Ministry of Households at the beginning of this year, and have been officially put into use throughout the country, and next year our Ministry of Industry's research plan is to improve the water mill. The development of wind milling, as well as the development of water pressing and wind pressing technology, to increase the production efficiency of flour and rice flour. ”

"The research must be continued, but I have a question for you, water conservancy and wind power are both God's gifts to us, and the places where we can use water conservancy are usually not big rivers, what if one day this river dries up, not to mention the wind, not every day there will be wind, why can't we develop a device controlled by our people, in turn, to replace the uncertain water and wind power?"
