Chapter 38 Leading the Industrial Revolution
In the Moon Empire, there are two types of domestic servants in each family. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
One is the contract system, where the master and servant make a contract, and the master's family pays the servant a part of the money for buying a body (also called selling money), and then the servant goes to the master's house to be a servant, and can get a certain amount of money every month.
This is that the master-servant relationship is based on voluntariness, and if the servant is unhappy or unwilling to do it, he can return the purchase money of the master's family at any time and leave. The same is true of the master's house, where the servant can be taken away at any time, but the money for the purchase will not be returned (a servant who has a record of being expelled is generally difficult to find a master who is willing to take him in).
On the other hand, the master went to the Church to buy slaves from the Empire, and most of these slaves were prisoners of war, eunuchs, or sinners who had been reduced to slavery for breaking the law.
In the laws of the Empire of the Moon, those who are slaves are not protected by the law. They are the private property of the Lord's family, whose status is equivalent to that of livestock, and the Lord's family has complete control over their life and death.
Because the master's control over the two types of servants is different, this also determines their different prices. The first type of servant sells his body for a relatively low price, as long as he has that meaning, but the money cannot be less, and the family can leave at any time if there is no one.
The second type of slave sells for a high price, and can be disposed of at will after being bought. For example, you don't have enough to eat, do you believe it or not?
In terms of the current situation, of course, the first type of servant is the most suitable for him. However, that is based on the willingness of both parties, which is equivalent to surrendering. Why worry about the second lack now, that is, someone to surrender. As for his first lack, there is no doubt that it is money!
"Alas, money, money, money, so annoying!" He Wei said, holding his head.
"Young master, why don't we build another glider of that kind of glider, that's a good thing, and if you get it to the auction house, it will definitely sell for a lot of money!" Tie Tuo suggested.
At that time, He Wei circled back and forth in the air with his glider and rescued Bihe in the sea of fire, and that scene of Tietuo was unforgettable. Tie Tuo still can't believe that that thing was actually created by him, and when he thought that he could make many similar things with Young Master He in the future, Tie Tuo trembled with excitement, which was the main reason why he was willing to surrender to He Wei!
At this time, why worry about money, Tie Tuo immediately thought of the glider, a good thing that can control the sky, there must be a lot of people who want to buy it!
He Wei hugged his head and said sullenly: "Hmph, don't you want me? I know better than you how much profit that thing has, but I can't do it! The old bastard at the head of the county said that it belongs to the empire, so I can't do it!"
"I'm just going to die! Although Lao Tzu promised to give the bicycle to the empire, he didn't promise to donate the hang-glider to the empire!
Jumping Zhu glanced at Tie Tuo, and found that his expression had not changed, so he said softly: "Young Master, after all, you are the head of the county, don't you ...... You can't scold him. ”
"Hmph, scold him, if I hadn't beaten him, I would have beaten him a long time ago!" He Wei said angrily.
"Actually, this can't all be blamed on the county head, it's only blamed on the glider invented by the young master. Tie Tuo smacked his lips and said, "Although the bicycle is practical, it is actually of limited use to the military, after all, the empire has light cavalry and heavy cavalry, and the speed advantage of the bicycle is completely unreflected." ”
"But the glider is different, the flying demon beast is easy to raise and difficult to train, and the power of the entire empire is exhausted, and the flying cavalry brigade is only a few dozen people. The attack method of throwing spirit talismans in the air that the young master used the glider to show that day was very close to the flying cavalry team. So compared to bicycles, the county head must be interested in gliders. ”
He Wei pursed his lips and said: "I know this, but that old boy now doesn't let me sell either gliders or bicycles, saying that these two things are state machinery and secrets." Alas, I'm so worried!"
Jumping Zhu looked at He Wei, who was depressed, and said softly: "Otherwise, the young master is ...... Hair and something else?"
"Invent! Manufacture!" said He Wei angrily.
chatting and chatting thirsty, He Wei beckoned to Tietuo and said, "I'm dying of thirst, is there any water?"
"Yes, just burned. As he spoke, he walked into the room and came out with a steaming kettle.
Looking at the lid of the pot that kept lifting, a bright light suddenly crossed in He Wei's heart, and a peerless good idea appeared in his mind!
"Steam engine!
When he was in school, He Wei once learned that 1,200 years ago, mankind invented the steam engine, which marked the official beginning of the first industrial revolution and the official entry of mankind into the mechanical age.
Since then, the science of earthlings has developed rapidly, and soon the second industrial revolution and the third industrial revolution will follow. By the time He Wei crossed over, the earthlings had already carried out ten major industrial ...... They are no longer the industrial revolution, but the information revolution!
In the previous life, the world was unprecedentedly advanced in science and technology. And in this Zhongling Continent in this life, it seems that there is no development of technology at all!
The people here are so much in the spirit of personal force that the status of all kinds of people, including scholars, cannot be promoted. Everyone is looking for a way to become a Taoist cultivator, but no one is willing to study the "side door".
Okay! In that case, then the young master will have a vigorous industrial revolution in this world of spells!
Seeing He Wu's eyes shining, Jumping Bead was overjoyed and asked loudly, "Does the young master have a way?"
"Sort of! It occurred to me that if we had it, we might not have to hire so many people. Even just the three of us can do all the work!" He Wei said confidently.
"What is it, can it fly?" asked Tietuo with a nervous expression. He's very, very, very interested in what he can fly right now!
"Uh...... It may be a little difficult, but it's not impossible. He Wei said.
Tie Tuo clapped his hands violently and said excitedly: "As long as it is possible, with my Tie Tuo, I can do anything!
He Wei smiled and said: "Of course I'm satisfied, but to build that thing, we need a lot of good enough materials, at least the materials can't be worse than those used on the glider last time." ”
As soon as he heard that the material requirements were so high, Tie Tuo immediately became embarrassed, and he frowned and said, "Young Master is talking about Lingtie? I don't have that thing here, and I need to buy it." And I'm afraid the price is ......"
"Alas, it still needs money! Well, Young Master Ben will earn him a lot of money first, and then come to build this steam engine!" He Wei said.
"Young Master, what is a steam engine?" Jumping Bead asked curiously.
"Keep it a secret for now!"
