Chapter 371
"This way of commerce and craftsmanship is really of great use to the country and the people!"
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yingzheng left Fusu alone, and he was overwhelmed.
In the previous Great Qin, although there was no clear formation of the hierarchy of Shinong industry and commerce, there was also a clear distinction.
As the elite class of Great Qin, the Shi clan is high, and the lords are hereditary and constantly expanding, which has become a great burden for Great Qin.
Although the peasants are the foundation of Daqin, due to the continuous wars and heavy forced labor, they are miserable, and the heavens are not beautiful, and the drought and famine for many years can be said to have reached the limit.
The business at the end has been greatly suppressed since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, and because of Lü Buwei, it has been reduced to the lowest level that is despised.
As for the craftsmen, they are completely in a forgotten corner, and even the Jiangzuo Shaofu has become a "six-seven-three" place to spend idle nobles.
The giant ship of Great Qin, although huge, had already reached the edge of the reef during the continuous voyage, and it was all supported by the captain of the First Emperor.
However, since the rise of Fusu, everything has changed.
Commerce, which was originally the least valued, has become the main force of Daqin's development.
And craftsmen and science and technology have become the foundation of Daqin's leading countries.
The power of science and technology, which can fly to the sky and create all kinds of magical machinery, is really an eye-opener for the First Emperor.
I only feel that my previous decades of experience are not as wonderful as those of the past two years.
It is becoming more and more difficult to take charge of Daqin, if it weren't for Fusu's reluctance to take over now, Yingzheng really wanted to abdicate immediately and hand over Daqin to Fusu.
"In fact, the state is just like people, it is not reasonable to miss that part, and it must go hand in hand. "
"The original meaning of a scholar is actually a literate person, but it has been constantly misinterpreted. "
"Now in Daqin, everyone has a channel to read and write, that is to say, everyone can become a scholar!"
In this case, in fact, there is no so-called high and low, and some are just different occupations. "
"Those who have good grades in liberal arts and have the intention of benefiting one party can go to the Shike entrance examination and enter the imperial court and county government as officials. "
"Those who are superior in force can participate in military exercises, defend their homes and the country, and expand their territory. "
However, the above two types of places are limited, and the vast majority of students study hard, in fact, just to support their families and find a job with decent treatment. "
"The emergence of new crops has also allowed Daqin's grain production to have a surplus for the first time, and even the supply far exceeds the demand, almost pushing the price of grain to the bottom. "
"In this case, although food security is still the foundation of the country, only a part of the land needs to be retained to grow food, and the rest can be replanted with cash crops such as sugarcane and cotton to increase the income of farmers. "
"Moreover, the improvement of the production level also makes the farmland do not need so many people as before, and the extra labor must have a place to resettle. "
"At the moment, only industry and commerce can meet this demand. "
"The flow of commerce has increased the income of the people of Daqin day by day, and their purchasing power has been greatly enhanced. "
"Industry, on the other hand, is the production of all kinds of goods that the people need, and the sale of them through commerce, and commercial profits are the driving force of industry. "
"The emergence of any emerging industry will drive the corresponding industrial chain and provide a series of jobs. "
"The people have a solid job, a stable income, and a secure life, so they naturally want to have a hot kang head for their wives and children, even if someone drives them to rebel with a stick, they don't want to do it!"
"The Great Qin Empire will naturally be able to continue for thousands of generations. "
Fusu smiled slightly.
Even in later generations, the employment rate is a barometer of a country's stability.
The economy is growing rapidly, the employment rate is stable, and the vast majority of people have a job to do, and they will want to earn more money, even if it is hard.
However, as soon as economic development is sluggish, the unemployment rate is high, and people who have nowhere to earn a living will no longer be able to survive, they will naturally cause trouble, and all kinds of public security problems such as smashing and looting will make a fuss.
Seriously, it can even lead to internal and external wars.
World War I and World War II in history were actually after the economic problems were too great, and the rulers had no way to stabilize the interior, so they could only wage wars externally and export contradictions, hoping to supplement themselves by plundering other countries. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Industry and science and technology are actually products that come with the economy.
To put it bluntly, people are greedy and yearn for profit.
In later history, the reason why the industrial revolution appeared in the West was actually that the capitalists saw the new technology and could get more profits, and they were full of motivation.0
And a certain pigtail dynasty that has been sprayed by countless people is actually not ignorant of the importance of technology, such as muskets and artillery.
It's just that they know that they are a minority, and if they develop muskets, they will not be able to maintain their rule without the advantage of archery and horseback.
For the benefit of their own small ethnic group, the rulers of the Braided Dynasty deliberately chose to close off the country and pretend to be stupid.
When it is really impossible to lock it up, it is better to carry out all kinds of land reparations for losing power and humiliating the country, as long as it ensures that his small group can be comfortable and continue to enjoy privileges.
That is to say, rather than with friends, not with domestic slaves.
The evil result is that the Central Plains Technology, which has been ahead for thousands of years and has kept pace until Gangming, not only missed the best development opportunity, but even regressed after hundreds of years of braided dynasty.
Even after decades of pursuit, it has only caught up or surpassed in some areas, and there is still a lot of work to be done in many basic fields.
As a traverser, Fusu naturally will not fail to learn this lesson.
The first is to let the Great Qin border army patrol, by the way, the predecessor of a certain tribe was completely swept away, and the roots were completely broken.
The second is to sweep away the hidden dangers within Daqin with iron and blood, vigorously promote compulsory education and medical care, open up upward channels, and stabilize the foundation of the people's hearts. 5.4
The ultimate goal is to be profit-oriented, so that Daqin can actively learn, actively invent and explore, and transform it into profits in a timely manner, forming a virtuous circle and creating space for Daqin's industrial revolution.
The Industrial Revolution is not something that can be solved in a few books. []
The simplest, a bicycle, with a full set of drawings, took several months to digest and absorb by the Daqin Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, and due to the material, the performance is still inferior.
A gunpowder formula, the Great Qin Engineering Institute, has been tried countless times, and it has just gained a little.
The steam engine, on the other hand, is only an improvement over being able to boil water, and the conversion rate is low.
Of course, today's Daqin, although in Fusu's view, still has a lot of room for improvement.
But for the foreign land, it is already an existence that is unimaginable in a dream.
It's not a big opponent at all!
