Li Xiaodao flicked his hand, and a breeze supported Wang Anshi, making him stand up straight, and said with a smile: "Xiangye is serious." ”

Wang Anshi also said solemnly: "Mr.'s talent is enough to stabilize the country, and these remarks are enough to reach a city." ”

Shenzong also nodded, secretly thinking that with such a great talent, he must keep it for his own use, and he can see the core principle of the country's operation, and this person's insight is even better than Wang Anshi.

Li Xiaodao smiled and said: "Poor Dao's words are indeed not finished yet, please listen carefully to Your Majesty and Xiangye." ”

This time, unlike just now, Wang Anshi and Shenzong both looked at the Taoist priests in the hall very seriously.

"First of all, the foundation of national wealth comes from labor, and the people get paid for their labor, but after the people get this money, they don't think about spending it, they will think about saving it, and then take it out when it's useful.

Wang Anshi hurriedly asked, "What is it?" ”

Li Xiaodao smiled: "Division of labor." ”

Wang Anshi muttered: "Division of labor." ”

Li Xiaodao paused for a moment, and then said: "For example, farming, fishing, and hunting, the fruits of one labor are wheat, one is fish and shrimp, and the other is meat, which is their different division of labor. ”

Wang Anshi suddenly realized, but there were still some things that seemed to be separated by a membrane, he couldn't see through them, and he couldn't tell what they were.

Until, he heard Li Xiaodao say: "So, what the previous poor Dao was talking about is theory, and the specific implementation will be reflected here, we need to provide enough different positions, let the people divide labor, give them salaries, and the people will have money, but because they have become workers, they have no land, if they want to eat, they have to buy food, and so on, those who farm need to wear clothes and so on......."

Wang Anshi's eyes finally lit up, and he finally understood what Li Xiaodao said.

He stood on top of the main hall and said excitedly: "So, we need a lot of labor. ”

Li Xiaodao secretly said in his heart: "It's done." ”

That's right, he is ready to replicate the Industrial Revolution in this world completely.

I remember that in my previous life, many people said on the Internet that the Song Dynasty was the most likely to become a capitalist dynasty, but unfortunately it was half a step behind, and now Li Xiaodao is here to be the promoter, based on "The Wealth of Nations", plus the Industrial Revolution, completely turning the Northern Song Dynasty into a dynasty that embarked on the road of capital.

His purpose was not to let the Great Song Dynasty dominate the world.

And his real purpose is to let Da Song embark on the road of capital.

He wants to release a hungry wolf named "Capital" in the Great Song Dynasty!

Once the wolf of capital is released by him and begins to grow, then the feudal country of the Great Song Dynasty will come to an end.

These things, Shenzong and Wang Anshi are naturally not clear.

They are also immersed in the theory of the wealth of the country provided by Li Xiaodao,

They won't know that once the hungry wolf of capital is released, it will be beyond the control of Da Song Ruo.

However, Li Xiaodao's gaze has never been a small big Song.

Even if the Great Song Dynasty perishes because of this, mankind will usher in great progress because of this, compared to the two.

The throne of a small emperor is nothing.

His vision is the whole of human society.

As long as capital is in motion, it will be easy for him to promote science, because capital will naturally choose to help him with strong nourishment.

Li Xiaodao deeply understands that the most suitable for the growth and germination of the seeds of science is the soil of capital.

And capital will naturally drive the progress of science!

The two are in a relationship of mutual need.

What Li Xiaodao has to do is to light a fire, and then provide nourishment for this fire, and then this fire will automatically burn and grow.

Even if he leaves this world, capital will push science forward on its own.

Human society will automatically embark on the road of scientific development and go further and further on this road.

Say no more.

But he said, "In the great hall."

After Wang Anshi said that a large number of laborers were needed, he immediately frowned again, but what did he want so many laborers to let them do?

He looked at Li Xiaodao, and Li Xiaodao also knew that it was time, he came to the side of several machines in the main hall again, and said with a smile: "Before the poor road went to the hall, His Majesty asked what these things were?" The reason why the poor road did not say it was because it was waiting at this time. ”

At this time, Shenzong was still immersed in Li Xiaodao's perfect and exquisite theory of national wealth.

In his heart, in less than a quarter of an hour, he had almost experienced the biggest surprise in his life, and he did not expect that a Taoist priest recommended by Wang Anshi would be able to have such a high opinion of the core operation of the country.

In addition, this Taoist priest even said the theory of how to make the Great Song Dynasty strong step by step.

After he understood the theory of the Wealth of Nations and the principle of economic operation, it was naturally clear that every word Li Xiaodao said was justified and well-founded, and as long as he did what he said, then the Great Song Dynasty would definitely be able to become strong.

But now there is a question in front of him, Wang Anshi thought of it, and he also thought of it, that is, how to need so many laborers, and what to do with so many laborers?

At this time, he heard Li Xiaodao talking in front of those strange things.

Next, Emperor Shenzong experienced the same amazement as Wang Anshi, and he saw with his own eyes that the thing that looked like a carriage moved.

He asked blankly, "Dao Chief, what kind of immortal art is this?" ”

Li Xiaodao explained with a smile: "Please Your Majesty listen to the poor Dao one by one." ”

"This thing is a steam engine, not a fairy, but a machine, with coal and water vapor as the power, can save manual labor, can be made into a plow, when plowing the farmland, only this machine, can create the value of more than a thousand people.

Moreover, Your Majesty can also see the wheel of this thing, yes, this thing can be used as a passing thing, here is a picture of the poor road book, please Your Majesty and Xiangye to take a look. ”

Wang Anshi first took over this picture,

This picture has a black figure like a long dragon.

After Shenzong looked at it again.

Li Xiaodao said slowly: "This thing, is derived from this steam engine as a power derivative, poor road called it a train, no cattle and horses, only need coal and water vapor, can be on the road relaxation, however, this thing is easy to build, the required road, but it must be a track, it takes a long time to build, however, this thing is built, when it can make circulation more convenient, trade is easier, before from Chang'an to Bianliang, only to transport goods by horse team, it also takes five days to travel, if the train is built, between the two places, half a day. ”

Emperor Shenzong's breathing almost stopped, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and he said excitedly: "If there is really such a speed, then I will use all my national strength to build this road." ”

He has fully understood Li Xiaodao's theory of national wealth, and he knows deeply that if the economy is strong, then market circulation and mutual trading are necessary prerequisites.

This is only from Chang'an to Bianliang, not far away.

If the north and south of the Great Song Dynasty can be connected to the railway, then the things that are unique to some places can be quickly transported to another place, and the huge difference in price is a huge profit, and the taxes that the imperial court can collect will also be remarkable.

This alone can bring earth-shaking changes to the Great Song Dynasty.

As long as this railway can be built and the trade in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty can be opened, then the flowing silver, the stagnant water will become living water, and the people will have more and more money, and then let them all come out to trade and make money with money, and the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty will naturally be able to be rapidly improved.

Shenzong no longer doubted what Li Xiaodao said, "Five years to make the Great Song Dynasty rise to the national strength of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty".

At this time, Wang Anshi was a little worried, and said to Li Xiaodao: "Sir, the benefits of this railway are indeed huge, but these things are all iron, and what is needed must be excellent quality ore, this smelting ......."

Li Xiaodao was prepared, took out a pile of things from the gourd again, and said: "Poor Dao also knows a little about smelting, this is the method of steelmaking, which can smelt ordinary iron ore into refined steel. ”

Wang Anshi's eyes widened, and he looked at the pile of paper in Li Xiaodao's hand in disbelief.
