I will hold high the dragon flag in the world of the heavens

Chapter 393 Zhao Ji ascends the throne, the dragon's teeth are cooked, and the power of red is awakened (for subscription)

What is an industrial society?
For modern people, it is easy to understand that it is a social production relationship in which machinery replaces manpower.

The emergence of industrialized society is the progress of civilization, but it is the end of a decadent dynasty.

When a large number of low-priced industrial products were requisitioned and sold at low prices, the dynasty had inevitably reached the end of the cycle.

Under the small peasant economy, the emergence of industrial products has directly destroyed countless circular ecology.

The previous production relationship of men farming and women weaving has also undergone tremendous changes.

If the rulers of the dynasty have the foresight and do not impose exorbitant taxes, the life of the common people will naturally be able to get by.

but……

The upper class of the dynasty may not allow it.

The quality of the emperor's centralization has a lot to do with the emperor's wisdom, insight, courage, and ideals.

During the Song Dynasty, the emperor was a circle.

Many emperors were shaped into unique souls by the outside world, and then lived to achieve their life goals.

He can be extravagant and dissipated, he can make great achievements, and he can also be arty.

Whether the emperor is wise or not depends on the surrounding environment.

The ruling class of scholar-bureaucrats under the emperor had more complicated thoughts.

The Confucian cultural thought they have received has already been castrated and modified by the rulers, and has become a tool for maintaining the rule and wooing people to divide the interest cake.

Many scholar-bureaucrats tend to get lost in power and desire.

A bureaucracy composed of literati and bureaucrats often depends on whether there is a good leader.

Without wise leaders, most bureaucrats will become people who protect their official titles.

In the Song Dynasty's relaxed environment for dealing with scholar-bureaucrats and officials, bureaucrats often muddled through, and spent their lives steadily and steadily.

The core pursuit of scholar-bureaucrats is to protect their official status and personal interests, and to fight for the family.

What the life of the common people in the Song Dynasty was like, it often depends on the interests and hobbies of the ruler.

Zhao Xu, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, was physically weak, but he was a qualified emperor.

When he and the scholar-bureaucrats saw that the silk, porcelain and tea produced by themselves could get a lot of money, the people headed by them began to adjust the production capacity plan.

The ruler exchanged these worthless items for cheap military supplies and weapons, and then rectified millions of banned troops and frontier troops, trying to reshape military affairs and regain Hetao and the Sixteen States.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty, as well as Zhang Chun of the Privy Council, initially wanted to purchase these cheap weapons and industrial products in a circular and gradual manner, and then absorb and digest them.

But the capital composed of scholar-officials and general nobles in the Song Dynasty was extremely greedy.

In the name of all kinds of integrity, they bought all kinds of tea, porcelain and silk, and then exchanged them for cheap industrial products produced by the Spring Breeze Caravan.

These industrial products include iron pans, kitchen knives, various daily necessities, various lighting tools, various white paper...

There is no way, the Song Dynasty is completely incomparable with the Spring Breeze Caravan.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the technology provided by the Spring Breeze Caravan is powerful.

In order to earn more profits, they also adjusted the production structure, raised silkworms on a large scale, planted mulberry fields, and produced porcelain.

Because of this, many farmers turned agriculture into mulberry in a daze, and then passively joined in promoting the production of porcelain and tea.

When these production activities changed, some shrewd officials also invited people from the Spring Breeze Caravan to go to the places under their jurisdiction to carry out infrastructure work.

The infrastructure of Yuhang Town was seen by the people of the Song Dynasty.

The people of the Spring Breeze Caravan have strong skills and they also provide food, so they don't mind sharing the profits.

When Zhao Xu and Zhang Chun agreed to reach some cooperation with the Spring Breeze Caravan, countless invitations were sent to the office of the Spring Breeze Caravan, and various forces sought to cooperate with them.

The Spring Breeze Caravan provided technology and initial construction funds. The Song Dynasty only needed to provide land and labor to obtain various precious technologies.

This is a sure-fire deal!
But when these greeting posts reached the Spring Breeze Caravan, the person in charge, Ju Chengyan, laughed directly.

"My lords, it is very unrealistic to build wineries everywhere. It is possible to build wineries near the river. But inland areas, it is best to build workshops according to local conditions."

These Song Dynasty people looked at Ju Chengyan with doubts on their faces.

Ju Chengyan smiled and took out plans and gift packages one by one.

"My lords, adapting measures to local conditions is to establish a sound industrial mechanism according to different production areas, improve social productivity, increase employment rate, so that the people can obtain goods at a lower price, and let the people improve their sense of happiness. Therefore, opening a wine shop rashly It is not advisable, but we can use other ways to make everyone make money and at the same time let the people live a good life."

The people who visited Ju Chengyan in the Song Dynasty twitched and asked how to enrich the people.

Then I saw Ju Chengyan's tongue was shining like a lotus flower, and he uttered his tricks like fried beans.

All the people who visited were excited when they heard these whimsical ideas.

They thought that the assembly line of the brewery and the cement factory were enough whimsy.

Who knew these people could play with a lot of things.

For a single food preparation, they come up with countless ideas.

Some foods can be preserved for several years through special production methods.These foods can then be sold throughout the Song Dynasty.

Packaging and preservation alone is an intoxicating technique.

Berry water can be crafted in a special container to create even tastier drinks.

Forget about these, Chen Mu also came up with the technology of greenhouse planting.

In short, the dignitaries and officials of the Song Dynasty were dizzy after hearing this, and wished they could join the big family of the Spring Breeze Caravan immediately.

Even if the members of the Spring Breeze Caravan proposed to share more than ten percent of the profits every year and to pay the workers wages, they didn't care.

What kind of waves can a bunch of mud legs planing in the soil make?
Isn't it just to pay some workers?
Agree to your request.

Then, almost the same scene as Yuhang Town appeared...

For example, large cement roads are being built everywhere.

For example, various regions have begun to work hard on agricultural products according to local characteristics.

After purchasing the equipment of the Spring Breeze Caravan, some mine producers suddenly accelerated their mining speed by several times, or even dozens of times.

Some nondescript greenhouses were also built under the guidance of technicians from the Spring Breeze Caravan.

1099 was a good year.

Because of the arrival of the Spring Breeze Caravan, Da Song's system that was not functioning well was revived with new vitality.

All kinds of things made from the technology brought by the Spring Breeze Caravan made a lot of money in a daze.

People's lives will start to improve as long as their relationship with the Spring Breeze Caravan is refined.

"On this day, gods don't change!"

Some old farmers who work in the Spring Breeze Workshop said this to their children.

For more than a year, some people who have worked in the Chunfeng factory have received generous salaries, and can then purchase countless supplies.

good for everyone!
Everything seems to be getting better!
It's a pity that the bad news came so quickly...

In the third year of Yuanfu, that is, on February 1100, 2, 23-year-old Zhao Xu fell ill from overwork and died on the dragon bed.

This clever emperor who tried to pick up Yuanfeng's new law and tried to change, finally died of physical weakness.

After Zhao Xu's death, his younger brother Zhao Ji became the eighth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Ji is very talented in calligraphy and painting and other art fields. He created the original "thin gold style" calligraphy, "Furong Golden Pheasant" and "Pond Autumn Evening Picture" are all famous works handed down from generation to generation.

If Zhao Xu didn't die early, then the Song Dynasty must have a new situation.

At least the reformers represented by Zhang Chun can persist in the court.At least in the Northern Song Dynasty there was a faction of practical work.

It's a pity that Zhao Ji is too greedy for pleasure.

During his reign, he pursued extravagance, political corruption, and poor diplomacy, resulting in widespread public grievances.It buried the root of the country's subjugation during the Jingkang period of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Time is also fate!

Since Zhao Ji became emperor, people in the Northern Song Dynasty found that their living costs suddenly increased.

They found that their taxes had to be paid more, and the cost of being a pawn and a hawker suddenly increased.

Those who opened shops also found that the yamen servants began to ask them for exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes frequently.

However, the industrious and simple people of Song Dynasty still naively think that this is just a temporary suffering.

Their future will be better.

But what they don't know is that in the next few decades, what they will suffer is the desperate squeeze of the ruling class of the Song Dynasty.

The kind that knocks the bone and sucks the marrow!
The people of Song Dynasty didn't know that the new emperor was extravagant and lustful, but the Spring Breeze Caravan knew it!
With the ascension of Zhao Ji, known as Song Huizong, the layout of Chen Mu's side began to accelerate.

Let's talk about population first!

With a population of more than [-] people, it is impossible to support large-scale industrialization. As early as more than a year ago, Chen Mu tried to absorb the population as much as possible.

A hundred years later in the Song Dynasty, land annexation was extremely serious, and many people became tenants and long servants.

As the word of mouth of the Spring Breeze Caravan spread, many people who could not live happily began to emigrate.

In just one and a half years, at least 1 Song people moved to Wanwan.

The population of Wanwan has increased, which has increased its industrial capacity in a disguised form!

Unlike the awakening of workers' consciousness that moistened things silently in the Song Dynasty, what was carried out in Wanwan was a completely subversive transformation.

Cognitive coverage of life, guided by video and vocal music.

Here, you can hardly find the government, gentry, and scholar-bureaucrats oppressing the lower classes to work!

In short, the people who stayed in Wanwan have undergone a comprehensive transformation.

Some people may say that Song people have received clan and royal education all their lives, and they cannot be saved.

But as the saying goes, there are still three catties of nails in a rotten boat. These hardworking people at the bottom are the targets they must fight for.

After receiving the shovel dance education, the numb soul will definitely get a new sublimation.

……

Fairy Island!
Today's Fairy Island is a harvest day.

The fruit of the dragon tooth rice tree is ripe.

Chen Mu, who returned to Xianling Island, stood in front of the 20-meter-tall dragon tooth rice tree, obsessively sniffing the reassuring fragrance.

Even without eating, Chen Mu could feel his sea of ​​consciousness cheering by simply sniffing it.

"Tiancaidibao, that's all there is to it, right?"

"Chen Mu, don't stand still, pick dragon tooth rice and prepare for a good meal."

Chen Mu's eyes lit up immediately: "Okay!"

He climbed the tree like an ape.Take the bag and put one after another the mango-sized, exuding a tempting fragrance, but white as jade dragon tooth rice fruit into it.

After a while, the dragon tooth rice was full.

"This tree has at least 1 catties of longya rice fruit."

Chen Aiguo swallowed his saliva: "Don't talk about it, just try something new!"

High-end ingredients only need to go through a simple cooking method. Eating dragon tooth rice is the same as eating mango, just peel the skin and eat it.

Chen Mu peeled off the skin, and took a bite of the flesh.

My tongue buds were immediately filled with a special fragrance.

When rejecting the pulp, waves of pure energy quickly poured into Chen Mu's abdomen, and then gradually subsided into the sea of ​​qi.

With just half a dragon tooth rice, Chen Mu felt a strong sense of fullness.

"Hiccup~"

After finishing a piece of dragon tooth rice, Chen Mu practiced cross-legged.

In a place invisible to outsiders, the pure energy turned into the purest aura, slowly flowing into Chen Mu's limbs and bones and the purple mansion.

It took about a day before Chen Mu exhausted this energy.

"A piece of dragon tooth rice tops my painstaking practice for more than a month, and this thing also has the effect of clearing the heart and concentrating the mind, strengthening the foundation and cultivating the vitality. I actually feel that my body is getting stronger. It really is a sacred object in the Yangshen world!"

Chen Mu was very satisfied with Long Ya Mi.

After a while, everyone in the Spring Breeze Brigade arrived at Xianling Island and woke up from the state of seclusion.

After admiring the dragon tooth rice, everyone began to make the final report.

"The operation of the Wanwan area is very smooth, and it can become a railway in three years at most."

"We have also done a good job in popularizing education. Now Wanwan's literacy rate has reached 8%. We strive to make at least [-] people literate within a year!"

"Although there are gentry and tyrants coveting the progress of the industrialization of the Song Dynasty, the overall progress is good. Since we established a cooperative relationship with the top leaders of the Song Dynasty, we have established 25 cooperative projects within three months, which can Covering at least 50 Song people."

"The officials of the Song Dynasty were very kind to the people because they wanted to protect Mo Azi above their heads. But some bad gentry and powerful nobles were very bad to the people.

Relying on the height of the sky and the distance of the emperor, these people desperately squeezed the workers who entered the factory.The money these people make is blood! "

"This is an essential link to promote workers' consciousness in the Great Song Dynasty. Only by letting them see the cruelty can they control the Northern Song Dynasty with the least cost!"

Chen Mu and the others felt helpless, but they knew that bloodshed was necessary.

How could it be so easy to awaken Wu Chan's consciousness.

One cannot be a staunch thinker without sacrifice, without death.

"I really want those guys to hang street lamps!"

"Okay, it's still a while before we let them hang the street lights, we're not in a hurry."

I want to promote knowledge, let Da Song carry out industrialization, and pull a large number of farmers into the tide of industrialization.It is necessary to use interests to drive some small groups of people.

These privileged people in the Song Dynasty are all human beings. If they want to jump into the pit, they must let them see enough benefits.

Only in this way can the subjectivity and objectivity be brought into play to promote the special evolution of the dynasty.

"Is there any gain from the investigation of demons and ghosts during this period?"

"Almost none. We did find a lot of unholy places, but ghosts cannot be born here."

"Is it because it is not yet the end of the dynasty, the people have not been displaced, and the mass death is caused?"

"This...doesn't rule out this possibility!"

"Continue to monitor! Our current task is to stimulate the personal consciousness of the great workers and peasants, so that they can truly awaken from their hearts."

The meeting lasted for several hours, and everyone mainly conducted systematic exchanges on the evolving activities.

They must rush to burst this bubble of Confucianism that has been transformed by demons.

When using it, it is the best way to wash away the oppression with the blood of those privileges!
