419 Productive forces of agrarian civilization
Although the Chijin Pavilion is located in the prime location of Ningshou City, the courtyard behind the attic is still very large, and there is even a small and exquisite garden behind the small building where Tong Yan rested last night.
Now Tong Yan is sitting by the window of the second floor, watching the goldsmiths busy in the courtyard and the bustling otherworldly scenery on the street.
What kind of productive forces human beings are under will have what kind of social structure. The scenery of the Southern Han Dynasty that Tong Yan sees now is a typical social state of human beings under the agricultural civilization. Without an internal combustion engine, not even the steam engine, the pioneer of the industrial age, this shijie humanity has forgotten that fossil fuels were once an important part of human civilization.
Look at the high-spirited officials on the streets, they don't need to say anything, all the people in sackcloth should bow respectfully. There are also those scholars in silk costumes, who are the objects of admiration of the people, and even some fruit sellers will take the initiative to send the wild fruits they bring to these big people to enjoy.
The people's reverence for power and knowledge is extremely evident in the agrarian civilization.
Tong Yan suddenly remembered what Master Lane had said, the more underdeveloped the productive forces of human beings, the more willing people are to hide their knowledge, because that is the most effective means to create a privileged class. In the age of agriculture, whoever could master the knowledge could stand at the top of the social pyramid.
As for Weishenme to close off knowledge, it is actually a necessary means to create a society with a strict class. In an agrarian civilization, if you want to maintain the rule of a large empire, you must rely on the rule of the class layer by layer. Because of that level of productivity, it is impossible to effectively transport troops.
Another very important factor is the problem of inefficiency caused by insufficient productivity, the government or a regime, because of efficiency, simply cannot put its own governance liliang into every remote village, even the township can not cover, so that if the emperor wants to rule an empire, he needs all the more classes to listen to him.
"Hehe, this is a bully with a group of thugs to take care of countless cattle and sheep. The emperor is the biggest bully, and the class below him is the thugs who are divided into various regions to shepherd sheep......" Tong Yan looked at the market outside the window, and couldn't help muttering to herself, which frightened the two maids behind her.
The little girl never dared to imagine that there were people who would compare the emperor to a bully and a thug, how could such a beautiful young lady say such a rebellious speech? Will she be arrested, will she affect us?
Just when the little maid was trembling, a familiar figure walked in from outside the courtyard gate, and looked at it at the third young master of the Jiang family, the river flowing.
At this time, the courtyard was already in full swing, and all the goldsmiths were working overtime, and at their hands were many white sheets of paper with exquisite images of the painters. And when the second shopkeeper saw that the third son was coming, he quickly grabbed a few blank pieces of paper and rushed over.
"Third Young Master, we are developed, we are developed...... Look at it, this is the jewelry that Miss Tong Yan designed for us, all of them have never been seen before......" Jiang Shuiliu's hand trembled, and when he saw the exquisite pattern on the paper, he immediately realized the wealth represented by the pattern. One ring after another is even made into two pieces that fit together and can be disassembled, and the unbelievable three-dimensional geometric pattern is simply not something these people can imagine.
There are also pieces of brooches with exquisite structures, which are not the common styles of the Southern Han Dynasty at all, and even in the northern Beining Kingdom, such a beautiful design has not been seen, if this is put into the market, the Red Iron Pavilion will definitely jump to the status of the first gold shop in the Southern Han Dynasty.
What kind of woman is this, she can actually draw the front and side patterns of intricate jewelry, and even the cut interior of the jewelry. Of course, he had no idea that the drawing method was called a three-dimensional perspective.
"Young master, with these drawings, even a junior goldsmith can easily master this kind of complex jewelry, this is a treasure, a good treasure that cannot be changed......"
It took a long time for the river to calm down, and he looked up at the beautiful woman at the window, who had lost his best teeth for a short time.
"Son of the Jiang family, I think these jewelry should be enough for me to spend in Ningshou City, right?" Tong Yan smiled calmly.
At that moment, Jiang Shuiliu completely made up his mind, this woman must not let go, even if she divorces her daughter-in-law who has been married, I will marry her as the main house. I don't care what the prime minister's daughter is, for the sake of Tong Yan, even if it's the daughter of Bixia today, I don't want it.
The temperament, talent and beauty of the childlike face have completely conquered the river, and he no longer has the mentality of playing a game, he really wants to marry this woman as his wife.
"Pass the order, Tong Yan is the guest of honor of my river, and her request is my request, as long as she doesn't run away. She can do whatever she wants, she can use all the money in the Red Gold Pavilion as she pleases, even if she wants to kill someone, you have to carry it out to the letter......"
Just when Jiang Shui was determined to pursue Tong Yan, in Xiushui Mountain in the south of Ningshou City, three figures had already begun to walk towards the depths of the mountain towards the rising sun, it was Impermanence and Tie Zhu's grandson.
After a night's thorough rest, Impermanence is now much better, but the cough has not disappeared, and it seems that the native virus of this planet is really powerful.
Impermanence didn't actually know that when he first crossed over to the Yellow Planet, when Ryan helped him weave his wounds in a coma, he had already received several compound vaccine injections. Including on the Left Bank Paradise Star, the military doctors of the Black Horse Battalion will also regularly check the body of impermanence and inject various new vaccines.
It is precisely because of this that he was able to survive in this magical universe, crisscrossing five planets without being bothered by any bacteria. But in this planet surrounded by heavenly locks, impermanence has finally hit a wall.
The viruses and bacteria that he had never come into contact with, coupled with the wound burned by the laser emitter, made him fall on this planet as quickly as possible, if it weren't for Tiezhu dedicating his serum, impermanence would really be finished.
However, the serum refined by Tongyan with the soil method must not have the same effect as the antibody extracted by the medical laboratory, and now it can only maintain the impermanent condition, and it will take at least a month or two to completely improve.
"Where is the Sword God Palace you are talking about? Is there really such a miraculous medical skill? There are still dead people with flesh and bones? According to what you say, isn't there no dead people in the world?" asked Impermanence with a smile as he walked.
"Lord Envoy, you are a person from the Sword God's side, and of course you look down on the ordinary priests and elders of the mortal world. However, in the eyes of our mountain people, Shen Guan Yan is already the most powerful divine doctor within a radius of thousands of miles from our Xiushui Mountain, and his reputation has spread to the capital, and he is also very famous in our Southern Han Kingdom......" As soon as he mentioned the priest and elder of the Sword God Palace, Xiao Tiezhu's eyes lit up.
"However, although Shen Guan Yan has superb medical skills, the medicinal materials are too rare, and ordinary people can't afford to use so many precious medicines, and poor families can only hold on when they are sick...... Just like my grandfather, who has been coughing for more than ten years, it was because he couldn't afford to buy good medicine that he was delayed......"
Impermanence shook his head and sighed in his heart, "The level of productivity and science and technology is too low, and the popularization rate of knowledge is too low, there has definitely been a great war that has swept the entire civilization on this planet, and more than once, otherwise the regression of civilization cannot be so big"
Impermanence is not wrong, the Shiyan slaves in the early stage of the development of this kind of planet, although they are not high-level intellectuals, but with the help of the compulsory education system covering the entire universe, they are definitely not illiterate.
The Sky Lock System cuts off the connection between the planet and the outside world, and those raw minerals will definitely not be able to be transported in, and the humans of this planet will not be able to build a spaceship on their own liliang even if they are exhausted. But they can build a primary and intermediate industrial system, and at the very least, they should be able to reach the technological level of the earth in the previous life!
However, in the face of impermanence, it is an extremely ignorant agricultural civilization, and it has not even opened the Age of Discovery. A civilization can't even make great geographical discoveries, so can it still expect them to be able to look up at the starry sky? Thinking about impermanence can only be a long sigh.
"War, only a war that sweeps the world can have such destructive power......"
"What are you talking about, Lord Emissary? What do you mean to sweep the world...... Oh yes, the highest level of the Sword God Temple in Xiushui Mountain has arrived, and we have finally arrived......"
When Impermanence looked up at the three dilapidated stone houses halfway up the mountain, the whole person was dumbfounded, this is too shabby, isn't it the highest belief in the Sword God Kingdom? Why is it so shabby?
Grandpa Tie seemed to understand the idea of impermanence, and said with a sigh: "Our Yan Shenguan of Xiushui Mountain is good, but he has a bad temper, and if he is happy, he can give a handful of gold to the beggar, and if he is unhappy, he will not even give the face of the Marquis of Ningshou." In this way, those who come and go will offend those who are in power......"
"Such a large sword god palace, it is absolutely impossible to expect these poor hunters and mountain people in the mountains to repair it, but the government and nobles do not give face to the Yan gods, so it slowly fell into disrepair......
Oops, it seems that no matter ancient or modern, Chinese and foreign, or the entire universe, there are hard bones who are not afraid of the powerful wherever they go, but unfortunately the more hard bones there are, the more unlucky a group of people are. Impermanence's mood got better inexplicably, and he suddenly had a premonition, as if there would be some strange harvest from today's meeting.
The premonition of impermanence has always been very accurate, it may be because of the inexplicable intuition brought about by his years of meditation practice, or it may be a kind of golden finger given by God to cross. Anyway, this premonition has saved his life many times, and Impermanence firmly believes that today will not be an exception.
Just as they were walking along the winding mountain road, a voice that had not appeared for a long time suddenly jumped out of the impermanence consciousness, startling impermanence.
The anger demon who had been sleeping for a long time was the little black baby, and he actually woke up.
