Chapter 206: Changing the Economic Foundation

Chen Fei Next, he explained to Cui Xiuxiu about the role of this shuttle and Xiuxiuji, which can produce a large amount of cloth and then obtain huge benefits. And this shuttle and Xiuxiu machine are actually not difficult to make, but they just need to be made by a carpenter. The Jenny machine, which was renamed Xiuxiu Machine, is actually made of a bunch of wood and wooden gears, and it does not require too high precision. The only thing that is more difficult is the eucommia gum, but since it is used in small quantities, the higher cost is acceptable. So this is completely a good thing that can bring great wealth in a short period of time. After all, everyone has to wear clothes, and this has been the case since human civilization has been, so clothes are essential. As a result, there is also a lot of cloth, and there is no market for this. As long as this cheap cotton cloth floods the market, then the fabrics produced by those families and individuals can compete at all.

However, in doing so, many farmers' weaver girls will not be able to produce cloth. Isn't the benefit of the people reduced in this way? In this way, the countless weaver girls are going bankrupt. Cui Xiuxiu said.

Chen Fei frowned suddenly, because he suddenly realized that his shuttle and Xiuxiu machine were a big killer, which could completely change the current economic foundation of China.

The economic foundation of ancient China was based on the model of male ploughing and female weaving. This model is family-based, with men responsible for farming the fields and women taking care of household chores and weaving. The result of weaving cloth is that it can be used to make clothes and pay taxes. Under this economic basis of male farming and female weaving, the women also have something to create, and the cloth is the result of their creation. But now, if this shuttle and Xiuxiu machine are promoted, and weaving has completely become a model development of an industrial chain, then ordinary family-style male and female weavers will inevitably face disintegration.

A small amount of weaving cloth in an ordinary family, whether in terms of quantity or quality, cannot be compared with the machines produced by this shuttle and Xiuxiu machine. In this situation where the quantity and quality are inferior to machine production, then the cloth they survive will not be sold at all. And a large number of weaver girls who are responsible for weaving cloth are also in danger of economic bankruptcy. And once this kind of Weaver Girl economy goes bankrupt, then I am afraid that they will also lose their jobs, and then it will really usher in a wave of unemployment for Weaver Girls.

"Male ploughing and female weaving, I, the shuttle and Xiuxiuji, are really destroying China's traditional economic model. However, history has proven that sooner or later the economic model of male farming and female weaving will go bankrupt, and this kind of agricultural society simply cannot support a strong country. However, if I insist on using this shuttle and Xiuxiu machine, the final result is often that a large number of weaver girls are unemployed, the cloth they produce cannot be sold, and finally the people have no source of income. And these economic sources. It also went into the pockets of merchants. Chen Fei thought to himself.

And Cui Xiuxiu immediately asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?" If this is done, many weaver girls will be unemployed! ”

Chen Fei suddenly fell silent, if he insisted on doing so, the result would be that a large number of weaver girls would lose their jobs, and the people's personal economic income would be severely hit. When the time comes, the people won't care so much, and all they think about is that this show machine will destroy their livelihood and make it impossible for them to survive.

But Chen Fei knows that history will not be rebounded by a certain backward group. and cause regression. Xiu Xiu Ji represents advanced productivity, even if those Weaver Girls protest, they can't stop the promotion of this Xiu Xiu Ji. Chen Feiai has seen in the information that the inventor of the Jenny machine was also beaten several times by countless spinners? The spinners thought it was Jenny that ruined their lives. So they want to destroy the Jenny machine and prevent the Jenny machine from continuing to develop.

But history is moving forward, not by their ideas. Eventually, the Jenny machine was developed, and with the development of the Industrial Revolution. In the end, there are more and more. Although the industrial revolution and the use of automated machinery will cause a large number of workers to lose their jobs. But again, it can't be because of the needs of some backward people. Just turn back the clock on history. Although Chen Fei is also very sympathetic to which weavers, history is history, and it cannot be reversed. If you turn back the clock on history, you will definitely be retaliated. History can only move forward, not backward, even if Chen Fei knows that doing so will bankrupt a large number of Weaver Girls, it must be done. What Chen Fei can do is to try his best to help them solve their difficulties and let them get through this harm.

"Miss Cui, you should know that I used to use honeycomb coal in Shuo County. Honeycomb coal also made it impossible for the woodcutter to sell firewood, and the end result was that I helped the woodcutter change his career to become a honeycomb coal producer. And they have all found new careers, and although the process of changing careers will be a little difficult, we have to do it. We can't stop developing for the sake of those who are lagging behind. If those weavers are unemployed, then we can hire them to be our weavers, and then make a lot of cloth to make a living. Chen Fei said firmly.

Chen Fei actually wants to change the current economic foundation of China, as long as this shuttle and Xiuxiu machine are used, there will inevitably be a large number of weaver girls unemployed. The end result was the complete collapse of the economic model of male farming and female weaving, and since then women have been forced to go out into society because they cannot weave at home safely. Although this process is very cruel, social change is necessary, and Chen Fei must do it. Because the grain production will continue to increase, and the textile industry will continue to increase the production of cloth, the economic model of male farming and female weaving cannot meet the future demand, so it must be changed.

Chen Fei: This is to change China's economic model, from a model of male farming and female weaving to a model of industrialization. There will inevitably be labor pains in doing so, but this is something that social change must endure. If you don't bear it, then in the end, the whole era will not be able to move forward at all. Since ancient times, China has been under the model of chaos and rule too much, in fact, this is also caused by the economic foundation. China has not been able to seize the opportunity to change the economic base, so it has been a mess every time. Now that Chen Fei has this opportunity, even if he makes the country and the nation suffer more, he must bear it.

"But we can't get so many female workers!" Cui Xiuxiu said with a wry smile. (To be continued......)
