In fact, Gu Fan really didn't give the king a face, but he was really busy, because of the commodity economy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since Gu Fan's support, in the past ten years, the situation of Chaoge has really changed dramatically.

The total output value of industry and agriculture, the total population, the number of workers, and the number of slave laborers all crown the country.

Today's Chaoge City has expanded its city three times. Not to mention the Shang Dynasty, I am afraid it is also one of the most densely populated regions in the world.

What a million people, there are more than a million captives!

In the past seven months of this year alone (from winter and October to the present), Chaoge County has produced more than 2 million catties of cotton yarn, 300,000 catties of cotton cloth and 100,000 catties of silk, and even that capable person has actually started to make paper.

Although converted into the output of later generations, the output is not as high as that of local township enterprises. But the problem is that this is pre-AD.

In this pre-AD world, there is definitely no doubt that it is open.

However, this is not important, the important thing is that the wood consumption near Asagata is too large.

In order to cut wood for fuel, the workshop owners drove slave laborers to the deep mountains and forests, and within seven months, more than 200 slave laborers had died in the deep mountains and forests.

There are also more than 500 Gu people who are terminally ill, and among them, even a hundred Chaoge residents are included.

Gu Fan has seen that the river near Chaoge is seriously polluted, and the merchants continue to pulp and wash cotton, silk, and nitrate leather in the river water, although the river water of Chaoge is not extinct for fish and shrimp, it is definitely no longer suitable for drinking.

If you drink this kind of water for a long time, you will not be terminally ill, and you will have ghosts. The problem now is that the merchants are no longer satisfied with the simple exchange of goods, they are interested in creating goods, that is, industry.

This is certainly progress, and it is worth supporting.

But this does not avoid a cost – the cost of industry.

It's never been a warm vein, and there's no reason to talk about it.

During the Industrial Revolution, the whole of London was shrouded in smog, and few of the workers at the bottom lived past the age of thirty.

Huge numbers of child laborers died in factories.

At the same time, Paris, France, and the Ruhr, Germany, were not much better.

The Thames and the Rhine once even the shrimp died, and the water was black and smelly.

It took Europeans 50 years after World War II to recover their ecology.

As for the Folk Pig Lighthouse Country, the situation is even worse.

Even in the new century, the situation of heavy metals exceeding the standard in the Great Lakes of Midi is still shocking, and all the fish and shrimp in these places are inedible, and what Asian carp is overflowing? I really think that Midi does not eat it? I really can't eat it!

Eat the one who will die!

Therefore, there is no pollution without industry, and if you want industrial development, pollution is inevitable.

At least, in Gu Fan's cognition, even in the new century when environmental protection technology has been very developed, if you want to develop industry, pollution cannot be avoided.

As for now?

Pollution and exploitation are industry, and industry is pollution and exploitation!

And in the most serious and dehumanizing way!

For the current Shang Dynasty, the only good news is that there are many, many Yidi in this world.

In traditional Chinese values, Yidi is equivalent to animals walking on two legs, and with them to work and develop industry, no one will be crooked, and the only one that may be crooked Confucianism has not yet been born.

The rest of the Virgins have also collapsed and become a plate of scattered sand, which is not to be feared.

Now the problem is already obvious.

He wanted to continue to develop and expand Chaoge's industry and build it into the birthplace of China's industry.

Then, in the future, the supply of slave labor must be guaranteed.

But now, the Baidi Demon Clan is undertaking the infrastructure of Chaoge, and the merchants are not willing to use the Demon Clan. They want to use Dongyi people.

But the Dongyi people have integrated into the Shang Dynasty over the years and become merchants, and they are not willing to do jobs that have a high mortality rate and are prone to illness.

And after all, this is the Shang Dynasty, and agriculture is always the most important. And the princes, although they were reluctant to develop industry and commerce, owned a large amount of land, and they were willing to use a large amount of cheap labor to cultivate their land.

And the freely employable population of the entire big merchant combined, is there four million?

No! Of course not.

Don't look at the total population, it seems that it is a lot, but the consumption is also large! Not to mention the consumption of warriors, an ordinary soldier of the Shang Dynasty alone needs at least 100 merchants and farmers to provide for it. So don't look at the total population, it seems that there are a lot of people, but the number of people who can be used freely is actually not much. If the agricultural population was forcibly stripped away, it would inevitably damage the vitality of the Shang Dynasty.

Later generations of Omi ghost animals have also encountered similar difficulties.

In the end, though, it was Uncle Black Africa who saved their career.

And now, Gufan needs captives, as well as more effective energy.

"Did you find the black stone I asked you to find? ”

"Yes, Sir. As the marshal said, they can indeed replace wood, or even work better than wood. ”

The merchants themselves were responsible for searching for the black stones, that is, the coal.

"It's good to find it. Gu Fan nodded, and warned them again, "But you must do what I ask." Accidents are absolutely not allowed. ”

The "merchants" are always treacherous and don't warn them, they really do anything.

After sending the merchant away, Gu Fan called his subordinates again and asked, "How many people is Chaoge short of this year?"

"Returning to the marshal, at least more than 3,000 workers are needed!" After a long time with Gu Fan, the saying of "workers" also spread, and he said respectfully: "The destruction of the mountains and forests around Chaoge is too bad, and according to the orders of the marshal, it is impossible to catch up with the consumption of desperate tree planting." It is better to ask the king for a warrant to prohibit going up the mountain to cut wood. ”

Gu Fan shook his head, and the song was a population of millions. Although he ordered people to find coal, with the mining power of coal in this era, it was impossible for coal to enter thousands of households and become an alternative fuel. What the Asaga people need is wood.

If such a warrant is issued, it is simply forcing the singer to die.

"Take my warrant, and send another 3,000 people to the mountain to plant trees, and be sure to ensure the use of the singers. Gu Fan ordered.

"This ...... Yes, handsome!"

In fact, the problem of Chaoge is far less serious than that of later generations, and what is really serious is the inaction of the government. In this era, the officials collected taxes or forced the people to serve in forced labor. They are familiar and accustomed to it.

But if you talk about serving the people, planting a tree, planting a forest or something, I really don't have this habit.

Even the kings of the Great Shang were accustomed to serving the nobility, that is, the slave owners. Ordinary people have never been in their eyes, and if it weren't for that, the king would not have lost the world.

As far as Chaoge has the power he has now, not to mention hanging and beating the Quartet, but it is really not a problem to face Xiqi Gang.

The king can't see it, but Gu Fan sees it, so he has to take care of it, and he has to do it well.

Because in his position, he seeks his government!

He wants faith power, and this is Gu Fan's dedication. (To be continued.) )
