86_86695 In ancient times, China was ruled by engineers. Wang Shuhui, who was born in the liberal arts, discovered this problem when he read the "Historical Records" at a very young age.

In his eyes, most of the emperors of ancient times were engineers or scientists. Their contribution to the progress of the productive forces is far greater, more numerous, and more important than what they have contributed as rulers of the country.

As far as the ancestor of the Yellow Emperor as the first ancestor of humanity is concerned, it is true that this old man is first and foremost a military strategist. However, it is recorded in the history books that he "sowed a hundred grains, made clothes and crowns, built boats and cars, and created medicine". Judging from these records, it is clear that the greatest contribution of the Yellow Emperor to Chinese civilization was not his unification of the various tribes in China at that time. Rather, as an agricultural scientist, he vigorously developed the development of the plantation industry; As an expert in the textile industry, he has promoted the development of the textile industry; As an engineering expert, he has promoted the development of the transportation industry; As a physiologist, he has advanced the medical industry.

From the perspective of the progress of human civilization, the contribution of the ancestors of the Yellow Emperor to the progress of the productive forces was obviously greater than that of China at the time of unification.

In fact, the three emperors and five emperors in ancient times were basically scientists or engineers.

Like Fu Xi, he is a zoologist. He taught the Chinese how to raise livestock.

Like Shennong, he is an engineer. He invented agricultural production tools, which greatly promoted the agricultural production of ancient Chinese. At the same time, he also invented pottery and bows and arrows, and made a great contribution to the preservation of food and the protection of personal safety.

Like the Suiren clan, it's even more incredible. He invented the key to allowing human beings to enter civilization from ignorance, a method of making fire that relied entirely on artificial means, drilling wood to make fire.

But these are not the questions that Wang Shuhui is thinking about now, he is now thinking about the discipline of the Chinese.

It's ridiculous to say, the idea that China in ancient times was ruled by engineers is also his divergent thinking, which is derived from this problem.

Wang Shuhui's first thought was about the organizational consciousness of the ancient peasants.

It is not that Wang Shuhui looks down on the peasants, or that he looks down on the ancient Chinese. Rather, he understood the Chinese peasants in the late Ming Dynasty from the perspective of an industrialized society, and this perspective, coupled with his recent practical work in training these late Ming peasants to become modern workers, led him to find that the peasants in the agricultural society were quite unorganized and disciplined compared to the industrial workers in the industrialized society.

In the process of training these dozens of workers, Wang Shuhui often fell into despair. The reason is that even though he used harsh punishment and adopted the stick education that he hated in the training process of the workers, these people often ignored the operation process and production discipline. In the past month, the number of deaths and serious injuries in industrial accidents has reached double digits.

The looseness and powerlessness of these ancient people made Wang Shuhui produce a kind of speechlessness and despair in the face of Chinese football in modern Chinese. His divergent thinking, in the process of arduous training, came up with a ballad that has been passed down from ancient times, "The Song of Kik".

Legend has it that Di Yao, the climatological scientist who invented and summarized the laws of the four seasons, the emperor of ancient times, met an old farmer during a tour. Di Yao's officials told Di Yao about the prosperity of local agricultural work. And, like a bureaucrat from the bureaucratic class, he attributed this prosperity of agricultural work in the region to Di Yao, the supreme leader of the country, in his work report.

In the vicinity of Di Yao, the old farmer, who had heard the official's sycophancy, immediately refuted. He countered the official's sycophants with a ballad, "The sun rises." Daily income. Sink a well and drink. Plough the fields and eat. What is Dili to me? ”

Wang Shuhui felt that the lack of discipline and loose life style of the ancient Chinese were clearly reflected in this ballad.

Excluding the sycophancy of the bureaucracy, the conflict between the officials and the old peasants is in fact a contradiction between the administration of the people by the government and the opposition of the people to this management.

The rhetorical question of "what is Dili to me" is actually a manifestation of the government's impotence on the ability of the people to mobilize in the stage of an agrarian society.

The government does not have the ability to organize and manage the people, which makes the Chinese, in fact, from primitive society to feudal society for thousands of miles, always in an extensive management. On the one hand, this kind of extensive management gives various interest groups the opportunity to wantonly plunder the interests of the state and seek their own benefits. On the other hand, it also makes most Chinese lack the concept of state and nation.

More importantly, this situation has allowed the Chinese to develop a loose style of undiscipline.

In fact, as early as the beginning of Wang Shuhui's crossing, he felt that the backbone of his military strength was completely insufficient to unilaterally rely on cultivating talents. He needs young adults with a sense of discipline and experience in organized life to serve as the skeleton of his armed forces.

After Wang Shuhui rummaged through all kinds of materials, he found that in the feudal agricultural society of the last years of the Ming Dynasty, people with a sense of discipline and experience in organizing life were extremely rare. The only things he could think of were the army of the Ming Dynasty and the two groups of miners.

Wang Shuhui, the army of the Ming Dynasty, was completely unexpected. In addition to his status as a royal clan, which made him unable to reasonably and legally get involved in the army, since the Zhengde era, the Ming Dynasty has no longer relied on the guards.

From the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the system of guards had completely collapsed. The so-called soldiers in the guard post have been eroded by generations of military attachés and have completely become serfs who have no training and can only farm. It was precisely this situation that made the military system of the Ming Dynasty transform from a guard system to a conscription system.

In the era of Emperor Jiajing, the Qi family's army, which was the strongest army in the world as the main force of the anti-Japanese and anti-Mongolian resistance, was the representative of the conscription system.

Since the army could not get his hands on it, Wang Shuhui learned from his fellow villager Qi Jiguang in Shandong (Wang Shuhui's ancestral hometown) and turned his attention to a very considerable group of miners.

As early as the beginning of cooperation with Sima Feng, Wang Shuhui entrusted Sima Feng to recruit people for him. In half a year, Sima Feng recruited dozens of craftsmen from various regions for Wang Shuhui.

However, Sima Feng, as an old fritter, did not do his best to serve Wang Shuhui. At first, he thought that Wang Shuhui's rash involvement in the salt business was a kind of reckless behavior of young people. He was going to leave a way out for himself. Therefore, on the issue of helping Wang Shuhui recruit manpower, he was quite ineffective.

This situation did not begin to be initially reversed until Wang Shuhui showed that he was completely different from the iron-blooded and ruthless style of the upper-class people of this era.

At that time, I learned from my own spies that Wang Shuhui "cruelly" skinned and shaved the bones of the spokesman of various black forces in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and then coldly broke the bones of Shi Daoxin. Sima Feng knew that Wang Shuhui was definitely not the kind of ordinary gentleman.

Even so, Sima Feng immediately cut off his contact with Wang Shuhui out of concern for his own safety.

However, soon he regained his enthusiasm and cooperated with Wang Shuhui again.

Because, he learned through various channels that Wang Shuhui easily extinguished the three attacks of the most powerful black armed groups in the Jiangbei region with a wave of his hand. After that, the county lord of honor who was officially certified by the imperial court, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who was appointed by the Son of Wanli Heaven, cruelly and ruthlessly used his steel-like wrists to detain the Zhijiang Ma family, the largest local tyrant group in the entire Zhijiang region, and a local family related to the Ma family, all of whom were accused of banditry.

The sober-minded Sima Feng realized that if he didn't do his best to contribute to Wang Shuhui, he would not be able to prevent Wang Shuhui from raising a butcher's knife against himself in the name of a bandit. What's more, cooperating with this most powerful royal clan in the entire Jingzhou region has brought him unimaginable benefits.

The use of steam power allowed Sima Feng to easily integrate the textile industry in Jiangbei. After the production cost was reduced by a geometric progression, the dumping of cloth and the sale of illicit salt that he cooperated with Wang Shuhui allowed Sima Feng to obtain huge profits that he could not understand.

Sima Feng, who had recently become a capitalist in light industry, knew that all the unimaginable benefits he had now had come from Wang Shuhui, the county lord's guest of honor and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who had a childlike innocent smile on his face and blood on his hands. For Wang Shuhui's request, he had to use his strength to complete it.

The mining industry in the Ming Dynasty was actually quite developed. Contrary to the extremely rare, even ridiculous, mining tax revenues that the Ming government could only receive. During the Ming Dynasty, the mining industry was not only widespread but also developed. From the fact that the Wanli Emperor dispatched mine supervisors to all parts of the country and easily achieved a bumper harvest in the small royal treasury, it can be seen that at least during this period, the mining industry in various regions of the Ming Dynasty was quite developed.

Sima Feng wore the tiger skin of the governor of the Zhijiang Wang's palace and bribed the mine supervisor of Huguang Province through guò, and easily bought nearly 1,000 skilled miners from a mine supervisor in this province at an extremely low price. The price paid is just a thousand horses, the kind that Wang Shuhui pulled in batches from modern society, which looks quite high-end and high-grade rayon.

However, according to Wang Shuhui's request, it was a bit troublesome to bring back all the family members of these miners, regardless of gender, old and young. However, most of these young miners are singles, and there are not many who have families.

Along the way, Sima Feng relied on the brand of his palace manager and used various means to pass the card. But even so, the money he spent to buy the road was more than the cost of buying the miners themselves
