Han Tao and Zhou Song left, these two did not promise Zhao Mingyi anything, which made Zhao Mingyi a little regretful, but Zhao Mingyi was not irritable, after all, these two did not mention the matter of collecting taxes, and acquiesced in their right to occupy the mountain as the king.

However, four days later, as some merchants came to collect ironware, Zhao Mingyi understood that these two just did not agree to him, which did not mean that he did not accept commercial activities.

These merchants are batch after batch, as soon as they collect hundreds of kilograms, with a carriage to invite the dart master, a few hundred kilograms of iron is definitely a big business in ancient times, and the attitude of the dart master and the merchant around the wagon is on an equal footing, the two sides are not an employer relationship, but a relationship of mutual supervision, it is obvious that they have a common boss. And seven or eight waves of merchants came in a week. It is by no means something that small private businessmen can do in this era.

In ancient times, the economic activities of the productive forces were very small, and because of the productive forces and the production system, the peasants were tied to the land, and it was not possible to run around in various inland towns and cities like the Wenzhou merchants in the late 20 th century, who were prone to pulling millions of goods. In ancient times, merchants of this level were all backstage. Commercial activities in the Song and Ming dynasties were much more relaxed than in the Han and Tang dynasties. But a little bigger business still needs to be backed by. For example, Ximen Qing in the Golden Bottle Plum, the root cause of this bully businessman is because he has a family member Zhai Rang who is a housekeeper in Cai Jing's family, and then when Ximen Qing was still in Cai Jing's birthday, he bribed Cai Jing with a lot of money to become Cai Jing's godson. As for before the Song and Ming dynasties, commercial activities at this level were all run by the Hao slaves under the family.

When batch after batch of merchants came to the door, Zhao Mingyi quickly understood that those families had a bottom in their hearts for the time being after knowing their details, and they were willing to do business with themselves, but they were afraid that they might do something in the future, and they were unwilling to be too deeply involved with themselves.

As long as the coal mines and iron ore he has on hand can be exchanged for grain, and the exchange channels for agricultural products and industrial products can be opened, he will be able to attract more people to come to work, and there is the potential to expand to an industrial city of 100,000 people. In ancient China, there were few cities in the north with more than 50,000, which was the limit of transportation capacity and the limit that the agricultural civilization system could maintain. Gathering a large city requires maintaining a large class of tax collectors to bring supplies from the surrounding farmland to the city. And once the organization of tax collectors grows larger, the efficiency of tax collection becomes lower. Tax collectors will pump oil and water, and officials will also get stuck in oil and water. No one will take the initiative to pay taxes, no matter how good the Confucian education is, the farmers in the fields will not spontaneously come to the main base to pay grain like the Zerg farmers who are loyal to the mother emperor.

From a purely economic point of view, the bastions of Europe are the most economical. Due to the small size of the tax organization at this level of the fortress, under the direct supervision of the lord, the output of the surrounding farmland can be collected relatively cleanly, and the fortress can also effectively protect the agricultural population and food.

But the industrial city is different, the way the industrial city collects agricultural products from the surrounding area is trade, because the surrounding agricultural population needs, the city can provide steel to the surrounding plains, provide fertilizer, can provide farmers with a variety of daily necessities for production and daily life. As a result, commercial activities will spontaneously transport grain from the surrounding farmland to the city.

If commercial activities can replace tax collectors and more effectively complete the collection of agricultural products, capitalism will have the capital to replace feudalism. As for the earth in this period, the various currents of thought that the Renaissance awakened must also conform to this reality. A more efficient social activity replaces the reality of inefficient social activity. If it does not promote more efficient social activities, it will not have any effect. It will be defined as utopian.

Now when the gentry who control the countryside twist and pinch the industrial sprout of Zhao Mingyi, after completing the first step of compromise,

The scholars couldn't have imagined that now Zhao Mingyi began to formulate more plans for them, and there was no fantasy in these plans, and the world where Li Er was located made the Lu An consciousness group completely abandon the fantasy. In this plan, there are things that the nobles fear the most.

In order to deal with the endless stream of merchants, Zhao Mingyi set up a trading house to deal with the world and gave it to others. Zhao Mingyi, on the other hand, came to the factory and began to worry about new tools, and forty days later, when an airplane was assembled in the factory. The airplane is made of wood, but the internal combustion engine is not a technology mastered by the workers in the factory, and the key parts are made of stacked substances, and the process of making parts of stacked substances is controlled by Zhao Mingyi himself.

There are two purposes for making airplanes.

The first purpose is that the horseback riding is too slow, and Zhao Mingyi is ready to control a larger territory in the future and build an airplane, even if it is an aircraft from World War I, ignoring the speed of one or two hundred kilometers per hour in the terrain. It means that Zhao Mingyi, the most important military force in the Qingyashan Workshop District, can support across the map. Once someone wants to come to raid, Zhao Mingyi can arrive within an hour, and then another hour, preemptively,

The second purpose is to measure the land of the surrounding plains, which now belong to the scholars, but in Zhao Mingyi's view, everything on the land in the future will be controlled by himself. Estimate the amount of farmland, estimate the market, and then make a production plan, and prepare for the scissors in the future.

When the plane was built, Zhao Mingyi drove the plane to fly in the sky, and the parameters of the plane came from other worlds, so Zhao Mingyi flew the plane in other spaceships, and under the awe-inspiring eyes of the people in the mountain village, Zhao Mingyi drove the mechanical bird and took off. Caused a pilgrimage. It also attracted special observations. This world AI never sleeps. So when Zhao Mingyi was plotting against the scholars, AI made Zhao Mingyi realize once again that his actions had been under AI monitoring in a unique way.

Just three days after Zhao Mingyi piloted the plane into the air, in the entire Qingya Mountain area, everyone had a dream when they slept at night. These dreams are more or less mutilated, but after three days of integrated statistics, it is a complete picture. This is information for two mines.

Sixty kilometers away from Baimao Mountain, there is another small dirt slope, Zhao Mingyi, who was dressed in black, looked at the things in his hand, in front of him was a mine cave, Zhao Mingyi used explosives and his very good physical fitness, after digging for sixteen hours, he dug six meters underground, and all the people in Qingya Mountain were integrated by Tuomeng.

Zhao Mingyi hurried here, and then without saying a word, he began to excavate, Zhao Mingyi's physical fitness was very good, and after digging alone for sixteen hours with explosives and improvised machines, he dug what he was looking for six meters underground - a swarthy coal mine.

Another thing happened, this matter is not harmful at the moment, but it makes Zhao Mingyi shudder. This is a super-large coal mine, according to the information of the dream, there may be an iron mine sixty kilometers away, this iron mine Zhao Mingyi did not drill,

The scale of these two mines is very huge, twenty times larger than the one in Baimaoshan. However, they are separated from each other, and the iron ore and coal mines in the Baimao Mountain area are only three kilometers away, and as for the concentrates controlled by the western Daomen, the coal mines and iron ore powder are only a few hundred meters apart. The arrangement is to gradually increase the difficulty of human civilization. At first, it was small-scale iron-making, then large-scale workshops, and finally, driven by profits, the construction of railways to link the two large mines. This link is designed.

After digging this coal mine, Zhao Mingyi couldn't help but raise his head and look up at the sky, his gaze became cold. Zhao Mingyi is not against this design, but he shuddered at the way AI conveys information.

Zhao Mingyi muttered: "It turns out that this is the celestial induction recorded in the classics!" It turns out that this is the intersection of the heavenly heart after entering the virtual realm! ”

There is a legend of one star and one person in this world. And the demon beasts also have the habit of looking up at the sky, and it is recorded in the Taoist book that this phenomenon is that the demon beasts are swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon, but now combined with Zhao Mingyi's observation of the demon in the past year, and the current situation, Zhao Mingyi believes that the behavior of these demon beasts aiming at the sky every day is seeking information docking from above. It's like this time when you're sleeping with people in a large area, you're transmitting dreams. In the original words of the Taoist book, every spiritual (thinking) creature in this realm can carry out celestial and human induction in the heaven and earth of this realm, but mortal desires are complicated, and it is difficult to understand the heavenly heart. Zhao Mingyi originally regarded the words of the Taoist book as nonsense.

And now Zhao Mingyi is sure that this matter is true, but the second half of the sentence is nonsense, as long as the AI in the sky thinks that it is necessary, it can still convey information to the crowd. It's just that this time I triggered an event that the AI deems it necessary to convey the message.

The Luan Consciousness Group estimates that it was built by its own industrial zone, which emits a lot of carbon dioxide, and at the same time, under infrared observations, the industrial zone is hotter than the surrounding area. Coupled with the fact that the plane is lifted into the air, let the AI start to do its duty.

The IA of the spaceship will interfere with the development of the spaceship, and when Luan first entered the roller world, when he was fighting against the dragon tribe, the Xuanniao tribe planted crops on a large scale near the river, and a bird fell from the sky, spitting out a large amount of good grain. - This kind of interference has saved civilization by at least a few thousand years, and the grain seeds of the ancient period on the earth are not the same as the seeds that have been selected for thousands of years to be full of grains. And now the AI intervention has saved the steps of prospecting in the industrial society.

There is no harm in this intervention, but in the eyes of Lu An's consciousness group, all AI are in a state of convulsion now, and this time they didn't use this means to scold themselves, and after they entered the various spaceships of the maelstrom, the AI of each spacecraft stabbed themselves not a lot of times. When Luan tried to get into these ships, the AI of these ships had already begun to tear off the skin and start to figure out the means.

However, after being vigilant, Zhao Mingyi sat in front of the mine and began to analyze the existing information.

Zhao Mingyi: "Three days ago, rumors appeared among workers and workers' families, and on the first day there were various versions of the rumors, the location, reserves, and depth of the minerals were not clear, but it was speculated that there were iron ore and coal mines in two places in the northwest, and on the third day, the information began to be similar. ”

Zhao Mingyi took out the small notebook in his arms, which recorded the information about minerals on the rumors and the time when this information was transmitted.

Zhao Mingyi looked at the notebook and nodded, and said, "The information that everyone receives is not complete. Therefore, the high-energy chip in each person's skull (the soul in the Taoist book) can only passively receive a small amount of information. This information is combined with the thinking of the day and the thought of the day and is shown in a dream. So"

Zhao Mingyi closed the book and said: "The soul only has the ability to receive information, but not the ability to send information, verify, and proofread." Well, according to the Taoist book, only by cultivating profoundly, can the heavenly heart converge. That is to say, the soul of ordinary people does not have that power, and high-energy chips with this power must also consider the endurance of carbon-based brains. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of cultivation. So I" Zhao Mingyi showed a sneer on his face: "Brainwashing can't be stopped." ”
