The reason why the production efficiency of hired labor has not achieved an essential breakthrough is very complicated, but what we know is that in Europe, the product efficiency of factories after the steam engine finally formed an unparalleled production advantage, and Western Europe became the global leader.In China, however, there has never been such a leap in productivity. Our small-scale agricultural production model has always been preserved. It was not until the modern Chinese market was impacted by cheap European industrial products that this small-scale agricultural economic model finally went bankrupt.

All in all, in Yan Hao's eyes, this Tianxing Jacquard machine is something similar to a steam engine.Of course, the Jacquard machine is not a steam engine, and it is impossible to provide productivity changes in all fields, so that it will lead Wei to the industrial revolution.It is clearly mentioned in the system description that all the props provided by the system are limited to the scope of the cold weapon era, so this phenomenon will not happen.

But at the same time, the description of the Tianxing Jacquard machine is also very clear, that is, this thing "breaks through the limit of textile technology in the agricultural era"!In other words, this kind of machine would not appear in the normal agricultural era. It surpassed the cotton spinning efficiency of the agricultural era, and was close to the weaving efficiency of the steam loom in the industrial era.Under such circumstances, if this kind of machine can be manufactured and promoted on a large scale, it will have a decisive impact on the textile productivity and even the economic structure of the entire Wei Dynasty!

You know, Yan Hao has been thinking about economic reforms before.Although he had asked Wang Meng to draft an economic reform plan, it must be known that no matter how powerful Wang Meng was, he was only a figure from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and he could only think within the scope of the feudal economic structure.Even so, if he can come up with such things as Wang Anshi's reform and Qingli New Deal and successfully implement them, it will be enough to make the country prosperous and strong.

But Yan Hao thinks one step further. If he can break the self-sufficient economic model, create an open and circulating market economic structure in Dawei, and promote mercantilism, although it will not be able to make Dawei leap forward to capitalism, but It is entirely possible to create an economically prosperous landscape similar to that of Western Europe in the 56th century, and this is good enough for Wei.

This is the reason why Yan Hao purposely made friends with businessmen and wooed the business class when he was selling officials and nobles, but now the appearance of the Tianxing Jacquard machine made him see the concrete possibility of realizing his goal.

Chapter 68

At this time, Yan Hao even wanted to exchange the Tianxing Jacquard machine and the Changsheng big-leaf mulberry tree species out of joy, but at this time he hesitated again.

Because the economic macro-pictures he conceived in his mind are after all a matter of the long-term future, but now there is a real crisis-the trouble of the Huns.If he didn't get the money to sell Yunhua Shu brocade first, where would he get so much money to build new equipment for the military inspector?

Yan Hao thought about it, is there any other way to make quick money?

Suddenly, Yan Hao's eyes swept to the third task on the free task panel.

Yes, the theft of the mausoleum!

You can also dig out a lot of money, and you can earn points by completing tasks by the way!

Although the reputation of an emperor taking the lead in robbing tombs is not good, but at this critical moment, he can't control so much.

Just let me be a tomb robber, Yan Hao thought silently.

Yan Hao, who had made a decision in his heart, exchanged the points decisively for the mulberry tree species and the star jacquard machine, so that his points were only 4000 points left.The formulation and implementation of a series of policies on these two things will have to wait until the next court meeting to announce.

But Yan Hao is now facing a new problem. Now that he has decided to dig a tomb, whose tomb should he dig?After all, not everyone's tomb has accumulated so much wealth, and many of the existing tombs have been dug up by the Mojin school captains.Regarding this question, Yan Hao thought of a person to consult, that is his biological mother, the current empress dowager.After all, she has lived for so many years and has gone through three dynasties. She is a living fossil. If she doesn't understand it, no one really understands it.

So Yan Hao, accompanied by a group of eunuchs and maids, came to the Palace of Compassion.

As soon as I came in, I saw Princess Qinning and Concubine Yan Daji were accompanying the Queen Mother. Qinning was chatting and laughing with the Queen Mother, while Daji silently helped the Queen Mother beat her legs.

"Your Majesty, you are here!" Daji said happily when she saw Yan Hao.

"Mother Queen." Yan Hao saluted the Queen Mother respectfully. Although he has no blood relationship with the Queen Mother spiritually, since he occupies this body, he will respect the Queen Mother as a real mother.

"Hehe, excuse me, the emperor, what kind of wind has brought you all here today."

At this time, Qin Ning rushed forward with a smile as usual and gave Yan Hao a bear hug.

Yan Hao knocked on the girl's small brain and asked, "Why did you come to see the queen mother?"

Qin Ning pouted and said, "Brother, you are only allowed to come, but not me. Besides, I saw Sister Yan Fei here, so I'll come with you."

Yan Hao wondered: "Since when did your girl get so close to Concubine Yan?"

"Hey, Concubine Yan is so beautiful, I'm salivating when I see it, of course I want to get close to her."

It turns out that although Qin Ning is married to Su Hong, Su Hong is usually busy with military affairs, and she still spends a lot of time playing in the palace when she is bored.However, there are not many people in the palace who can play with her, and most of them are not worthy of their status.Lin Peiyao was originally the most suitable, but Lin Peiyao has always been calm and prudent, and on the contrary, she was disliked by the escaping Qin Ning.On the contrary, the enchanting and charming Daji is quite speculative with her, so the two often chat and play together.

"Hmph, why don't you go to study with the empress? What are you doing here to get close to a fox?" At this time, the queen mother snorted unhappily after hearing Qin Ning's words.

Chapter 69

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Daji's pretty face that was still smiling instantly froze.

It turns out that Daji has a loose and unrestrained personality. Originally, the concubine had to greet the queen mother every few days, but after entering the palace, Daji fished for three days and posted nets for two days, which aroused the queen mother's disgust.So far, he has never gotten a good face from the queen mother, and even breathing is wrong.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Yan Hao quickly smoothed things over and said, "Qin Ning usually only knows how to play around, and getting close to Concubine Yan, it would be great to learn more about singing, dancing and piano."

The empress dowager didn't even give the emperor's face: "Learn how to do those bells and whistles, and you should look like a woman, like the queen, not only good at cooking, but also exquisite needlework."

Hearing this, Daji was immediately aggrieved, and tears rolled in her eyes.

Yan Hao quickly and quietly pulled Daji to his side, and touched her junior comfortingly.He knew that Daji came to beat the queen mother's legs because she wanted to please the old man more, but he didn't expect the old queen to hold grudges so much, and it was really embarrassing for this beauty.

In order to alleviate the awkward atmosphere, Yan Hao hurriedly stated his intention to change the topic.

"Mother, isn't the matter of stealing the mausoleum unseemly and indecent?" Yan Hao asked cautiously.

Unexpectedly, the empress dowager raised her solemn eyebrows, and said displeasedly: "The emperor is wrong, there is no king in the world, our royal family takes the treasure in the tomb, this is a requisition, how can there be a theory of theft ?"

"But after all, it has a bad reputation."

The Queen Mother said: "Compared with Jiangshan Sheji, a little bit of fame is nothing! If the wealth in the tomb can really help your Majesty to survive the sadness, and then achieve the foundation of immortality, then your Majesty's actions will be passed down as a good story! "

Speaking of this, the Queen Mother changed the conversation and said: "But if Your Majesty digs a tomb but has not been able to repel the Huns and revive the Great Wei, then people after thousands of years will still say that His Majesty is a robber who digs graves. It's absurd and foolish. The reason is not because tomb robbing is a matter of foolishness, but because His Majesty failed to become the Lord of ZTE!"

When Yan Hao heard it, he felt that Jiang was still old and spicy. The queen mother was indeed a woman who had eaten more salt than he had eaten, full of simple wisdom.Since ancient times, winners and losers, if you win, you have the right to speak, and those flawed things you do will be beautified or even covered up, and if you lose, any questionable things you do may cause criticism.

Thinking of this, Yan Hao resolutely said: "Hearing what the queen mother said, the emperor is completely enlightened, but I don't know which one of this ancient tomb is suitable for excavation from the queen mother's point of view?"

The Queen Mother replied without hesitation: "That must be the tomb of Liang Taizu Xiao Gang."

"Liang Taizu fought in the South and the North all his life, and created the century-old hegemony of the Liang Dynasty. He can be described as a generation of heroes. However, such figures cannot be exempted from the custom when they grow old. They searched for panacea and hoped to be immortal. After visiting famous mountains and rivers with no results, they had to pin their hopes on in the afterlife."

"The ancients have a saying: an elephant is born, and it is sent to die. Everything dies as life, and everything dies as if it survives. In order to bring the luxurious life before his death to the ground, Liang Taizu used millions of laborers to work for three years and collected the world. It is said that the common women at that time could not see a necklace of copper ornaments, because they were all dedicated to the royal family to smelt and decorate the underground palace. The tomb of Liang Taizu built in this way is so magnificent!”

Chapter 70

When Yan Hao heard what the Queen Mother said, he couldn't help being fascinated. What Liang Taizu did was a bit like Qin Shihuang.At this time, he thought that Qin Shihuang's tomb is one of the few emperor's tombs in Chinese history that has never been stolen. Until today, 2000 years later, the state has not approved the excavation of Qin Shihuang's cultural relics.Part of the reason is that Qin Shihuang's tomb is hidden too deep and the protection measures are too good. Excavation requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and entering rashly may be dangerous.

So Yan Hao asked: "The tomb of Liang Taizu is so rich, has no one thought about it for hundreds of years?"

The queen mother smiled and said: "Why not! But everyone who went in died tragically without exception, and no one came out alive."

At this time, Qin Ning also interjected mysteriously: "Yes, yes, I heard that another warlord at the end of Liang brought tens of thousands of troops to dig the tomb of Liang Taizu, but the thousands of troops who entered did not even recover the body. one comes!"

Yan Hao shuddered.

But the queen mother said: "nonsense, that's just a rumor of unofficial folk history. Liang Taizu's tomb has been in charge of Xiao clan soldiers for generations, and ordinary tomb robbers can't get close. Even if there are scattered infiltrators, they will die under the hidden weapons of the underground palace."

"After the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, out of respect for the royal family of the previous dynasty, as well as the admiration for Liang Taizu's military victory over Maguan Mountain and the hegemony of the East China Sea, the Xiao clan guards of Liang Taizu's tomb have been retained to this day. But if His Majesty wants to dig, these people will Naturally, it cannot be hindered. Your Majesty sends regular troops to enter, and the organs of the underground palace can’t help us.”

Only then did Yan Hao feel relieved, but he always felt that it was not that simple. Thinking of Qin Ning's words, he felt a little fuzzy again.

"It doesn't matter, the matter has come to this point, I will deploy troops to excavate Liang Taizu's tomb in a few days!"

Hearing Yan Hao's words, Qin Ning jumped up happily: "Okay, brother, you are going to rob the tomb, take me, take me!"

Yan Hao put on a serious face: "Go, go, didn't you say that none of the thousands of people can come back, so what are you doing?"

"Hey, isn't this protected by Brother Huang?" The girl grabbed the corner of Yan Hao's clothes.This girl is indeed very clever, and whenever she asks Yan Hao for help, she calls out "Brother Huang", which makes him feel comfortable.
