Chapter 61 Science and technology are the primary productive forces
PS: Sorry for the wrong chapter name, this is chapter sixty-two,
When the battle report of Yumen Pass reached Luoyang, Liu Hong, who was in the early court, didn't say anything and directly ordered to retreat.
The Chinese martial arts of the dynasty were puzzled, and then Liu Hong's will came from the palace, "The meritorious ministers of this battle, the cabinet will discuss the matter of rewarding, and tomorrow will patrol the fortunate mountain!" ”
As soon as this decree came out, the Manchu civil and military became interested in the mysterious Bishan again, and what was in the Bishan made the ministers of the DPRK and China very interested, but the defense measures of Bishan were very strict, and it was almost impossible to find out the news.
On the second day, Liu Hong took a chariot to the mountain, if the east factory is to help Liu Hong make things for the future, then the mountain is Liu Hong's scientific research institute.
Although Liu Hong knows a lot of things in the afterlife, but he can't make them effectively, Liu Hong admires those who can draw the drawings of the things in the future when he reads the online articles in the later generations.
At least Liu Hong couldn't draw the most important drawing of the Quyuan plough at this time, the productivity of the Han Dynasty was low at this time, and if he wanted to quickly restore his national strength and accumulate the food needed during the war, he needed this Quyuan plough very much.
Quyuan plough is the last years of the Tang Dynasty appeared, but also the pinnacle of ancient agricultural tools, in addition to mechanized tools, this Quyuan plough can be said to be the top agricultural tools.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the plough was the main farming tool.
It was only on the eve of the unification of the Six Kingdoms by the Qin Dynasty that the plough appeared in the local area, and then the plough using animal power was widely used.
The plough of the Han Dynasty has been basically formed, but the plough of the Han Dynasty is a long straight plough, and the turning of the plough is not flexible enough when ploughing. Lifting the ground is laborious. Not very efficient. This limits productivity to a great extent.
Production tools are an important factor of productivity, a certain type of production tools marks a certain level of development of productivity, and this important factor of productivity production tools, ploughing pears is the most important.
Although the battle of Yumen Pass made Liu Hong realize the strength of the Roman legions, the heavy infantry was not invincible, at least the bed crossbow and trebuchet could break it.
The reason why Liu Hong came to Bishan so urgently at this time was that he urgently needed a quyuan plow. Because Liu Hong didn't know when Rome's follow-up army would arrive, Liu Hong didn't want the war to happen in the territory of the Han Dynasty, even if he really wanted to live and die with Rome.
Liu Hong also hoped that this war would take place outside the Han Dynasty, and the worst of them would be in the Western Regions, not in Liangzhou.
After learning of Liu Hong's intention, the master of the Bishan Craftsman Battalion was embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, although the cultivated pears at this time are much stronger than the current cultivated pears, they are extremely easy to damage, and it is really not suitable for promotion. ”
Although Liu Hong knows the birth of every new thing. It wasn't all smooth sailing, but I heard the words of the master. I still couldn't help but be disappointed in my heart, but I said, "It's okay, just continue to develop, I give Bishan a lot of money every year, that is, to develop items that cross the era." ”
"You don't need much, as long as you can develop one, you can benefit Dahan a lot, which is not something that can be measured by money."
Hearing this, the master craftsman hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the ministers will definitely develop the Quyuan plow as soon as possible." ”
At this time, a craftsman ran over excitedly and said, "It's successful, it's successful." ”
The soldiers of the Praetorian Guard were just about to stop the craftsman, but Liu Hong waved his hand to stop him, and the craftsman ran to Liu Hong and leaned over, and then said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, Quyuan Plough has succeeded." ”
"Really?"
"Really?"
Liu Hong and the master asked in surprise at the same time.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it really worked."
Liu Hong hurriedly said, "Take me over quickly." ”
"No!"
After a while, Liu Hong came to a clearing, only to see more than ten craftsmen operating plough plough is testing the Quyuan plow, the reason why Liu Hong can be sure that this is the Quyuan plow, that is because a person holding the common long pear plough in the Han Dynasty is far inferior to those people.
Liu Hong had calmed down at this time, and asked in a cold voice, "Is this quyuan plow easy to damage?" ”
One of the craftsmen replied, "Your Majesty, this matter is not yet known, but in the test just now, the damage is far stronger than that of the long pear at this time. ”
Hearing this, Liu Hong shouted, "Good! If there is no problem, we will make every effort to produce, and we must ensure that when we start spring next year, we can use this kind of curved plow. ”
"No!"
Immediately, Liu Hong carefully looked at the Quyuan plough in front of him, and secretly said in his heart, "Although I don't know if this Quyuan plough is the same as in history, as long as it can make the Han Dynasty reclaim more fields, it will be a great achievement." ”
The craftsman on the side saw Liu Hong looking at the Quyuan plow, so he said, "Your Majesty, this Quyuan plough is composed of eleven parts. That is, ploughshare, plough wall, plough bottom, plough press, strategy, plough arrow, plough wheel, plough tip, plough evaluation, plough building and plough plate. ”
Liu Hong waved his hand lightly and said, "I don't need to know so much detail, this is a matter of waiting, if there is no problem with this quyuan plow, you will be a great achievement, and anyone who participates in the development can be an official." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Hong saw that all the craftsmen were looking at him, and after a slight sigh, he spoke, "I have told you before that science and technology are the primary productive forces, and you must think that the technology I am talking about refers to craftsmen, but in fact, craftsmen are not the primary productive forces. ”
"You are the first productive force at this time, you may have some doubts, I can tell you, if you didn't develop this Quyuan plough that surpasses the plough at this time, you will always be ordinary craftsmen, and you will not be able to become the representative of the first productive force!"
"Shi Nong Industry and Commerce, craftsmen are praised as cheap industries by the Shi clan, why are the craftsmen of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period still respected by the Shi clan? Because they have technology in their hands that no one else can replace, this is the first privilege. ”
"You are also stepping into the ranks of the first at this time, although you are working for me, and this quyuan plough is also the first to be proposed by me, but you are still proud, but I don't want you to enjoy this former glory all the time."
"That's right, it was once, once this new thing came out, it has become the past, I don't want you to wait for these people who created the era, and finally become the ordinary craftsmen who are unknown to everyone, you may not understand my words, but you must remember what I said, you must continue to develop, and strive to develop a tool that is better than the Quyuan plow."
"No!"
Liu Hong's words, these craftsmen really don't understand, but they know that their official positions and rewards are obtained by research, and if they want a bigger official position and more rewards, they must develop better things.
In several other research institutes, no new products came out, but a curved plough had already excited Liu Hong, so he drove back to the palace.
And at the end of March, Liu Hong got another good news, that is, the Western Regions actually fought against each other, the Roman legions actually occupied the fertile land north of the Kunlun Mountains, and Wusun and the Dayue clan also went to war, so it can be said that the Western Regions have been in chaos.
