Live broadcast: Ancient people accompany me to make up lessons

["In 1765, more than 30 years after Newton's death, a brand-new steam engine was born in the hands of Watt. The steam engine invented by Watt not only used a lot less coal than the original steam engine, but also allowed people to have their own inventions. motivation."

In front of the London Science Museum, cars and motorcycles passed by quickly, and people with different faces went in together to take a closer look at the long-standing iron rod inside.

"People regard Watt's steam engine, which solved the core problem of industrialization, as a symbol of the Industrial Revolution. Watt is also known as the father of the Industrial Revolution."]

"To be called the father of the revolution, to be called such..."

Some students looked at the achievements of Watt in the sky and looked stunned.

This Watt is far from the genius of Newton. He is just an ordinary person. His business failed and went bankrupt and he was desperate. He is not that young and promising. It took many years of repeated attempts to successfully improve the steam engine. It is this kind of craftsmanship that is not common in their daily life, but his sponsor is willing to spend money for him to study and bet on the future together.

Ask yourself, whether it is Watt or his discerning sponsor, they are indeed unique people.

"There are only fragmentary corners, and you can't see the full picture of this steam engine..."

During the Qin and Han dynasties, before they were completely reduced to being craftsmen, the Mohist and Gongshu families whose theories had been lost looked up at the sky with longing expressions.

The elders comforted: "Of course, people will not release all this magical and important weapon of the country. We can think about this slowly, and there is another important thing, which is what is the coal?"

The sweating worker stretched out his arm and threw a shovelful of black stuff in. A fire instantly ignited inside. This coal is also a good thing!

Take a note, there is one more thing to ask the host.

["The change does not stop at the technical level. A new form of production organization that can greatly improve efficiency has emerged, that is, the factory in the modern sense.

Work that was originally completed by one person from start to finish is broken down into specialized processes. Each worker only needs to complete a specific process and repeat it. "

In the ceramics factory, different people, men, women, old and young, are doing different jobs. Drawing, carving, glazing, baking... everyone is doing their own different things, working together to complete a piece of porcelain. ]

The craftsmen in the kiln saw what they were doing, and the young man exclaimed: "Master, they are firing porcelain!"

The teacher nodded, looked at the foreigners in the sky, and frowned: "This person only does one thing, so he can't learn anything..."

Although they bake porcelain in steps, it is not like the above where each person has to do the different steps of a simple object alone. This job is divided into so many steps. Although it may be faster, people are only doing one thing...

People in the Qin, Han and Three Kingdoms periods could not take their eyes off the beautiful porcelain produced. Large families with their own pottery kilns immediately arranged for people to learn from them, hoping to produce porcelain as white as jade and with various carved patterns.

In the later dynasties when porcelain was widely used and there were enough types, some people felt that the above method could be tried, while others felt that the above method could not produce high-quality products.

[“Since the end of the 18th century, various industries in the UK have implemented factoryization. In just a few decades, the ancient production methods, lifestyles, and ways of thinking have all changed. The entire UK seems to have formed a world that is constantly being transformed. Power drives the high-speed chain..."]

The rulers of the Central Plains were more concerned about another thing: if there were not only porcelain firing, but also weaving and clothing making, and other industries with different factories, then these finely classified tasks would require different people to do them. In Britain, How can the population of a small country support these factories?

In other words, if all the people in their country are working in factories, who will do the two most important things of farming and fighting? Those extremely powerful thermal weapons may not require so many soldiers to be recruited, but if no one is farming, how will the problem of food be solved?

["The Wealth of Nations", Adam Smith...]

All Kings: The Wealth of Nations, wanted.

Kangxi: It will be 64 years before it is published in the English Society. He himself will definitely not be able to wait, nor will his son, but his grandson can wait...

Economy, to the Central Plains people, means economics for the state and the people, but on the horizon, it seems to be everything related to 'production', and it is closely centered around money and management.

Tianmu only talks about this person and a few ideas. The person who can make the British Prime Minister wait for him to sit down before everyone is really talented enough, but can you say a little more about this book? Tianmu.

[1815 Anglo-French War...Free Trade...]

Liu Che was stunned: "What about France, even its own military uniforms are produced in Britain?"

Tianmuli said before that it is a land power. Does the land overlord even rely on outsiders to clothe its own soldiers?

Also, what kind of cloth is cotton?

Sang Hongyang, who comes from a businessman family, agrees with the praise on the sky for the significance of economic and commercial activities, but he does not think that business is completely harmless.

Then Britain itself is already a country controlled by businessmen, so when its external interests are consistent, it can form a thick rope, but what if the businessmen have differences with each other?

There is also a free market. Their big businessmen are directly contacted by the government. Strong businessmen live well, but what about the small traders below?

There are also many people who understand the above model, improve technology, use technology to increase production, and change things from one thing a day to several things a day, and then sell things to make money, and go to war wherever they can't sell, using force or force Legal provisions allow one's own things to be sold.

On the border of the Song Dynasty, middle-aged people who came here to do business were stunned: "Isn't this an act of banditry?"

If you can't sell something, just change it to another place. If the neighboring country doesn't let you sell it, then go to war directly. This is too arrogant and overbearing.

The son said: "Their queen has given honors to pirates, so it is not a country of robbers."

Another fellow seller said: "For European merchants, the whole country is together. Naturally, if something goes wrong, the countries will go to war with each other."

He thought for a moment whether Da Song would help them if Xixia didn't accept their things or paid them, but in the end he could only smile bitterly.

[The blue planet rotates quietly, and wherever it is read, that area turns red.

“In order to implement its free trade policy, Britain used force to force one country after another to open its doors, rapidly expanding into an empire on which the sun never sets. In this empire, a business and trade circle with Britain as its core gradually formed.

British economist Jevons described it this way in 1865: "The plains of North America and Russia are our cornfields, Canada and the Baltic Sea are our forest areas, Australia has our sheep pastures, Peru sends silver, South Africa and Australia 's gold flowed to London, the Indians and Chinese grew our tea, our coffee, sugar cane and spice plantations spread across the East Indies, our cotton, long cultivated in the American South, has now spread to every warm region of the earth'. ”]

On the blue planet, there are more and more red areas belonging to Britain. When they see the familiar land of China, the kings' faces turn pale.

The documentary is no longer bloody, and the pictures are not as horrifying as the Ebola era, but the sentence "force has forced one country after another to open its doors" is enough for them to guess what will happen to this land in the future.

All the emperors before the Qing Dynasty: What are the courts doing in later generations? Do you just grow tea for others?

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang put down the pen in his hand, his face turned green with anger: "That's what the Qing Dynasty from outside Guan Dynasty did to China!"

Kangxi was also shocked. He didn't expect that the bad premonitions in his mind would come true. In the Qing Dynasty, the Han people did not take over the country, but the Westerners invaded first.

In 1865, according to the time mentioned before, the Qing Dynasty was still there at this time. Did it already allow Westerners to open the country?

The hand holding the chair was shaking with anger. He subconsciously wanted to drive away all the foreigners in the Qing Dynasty, but he quickly suppressed his anger because he remembered that the country was "opened".

[Factories are rising from the ground, sending thick black smoke into the sky, and workers are working hard to add fuel to the machines.

"In 1850, Britain's urban population exceeded 60%, its iron production exceeded the combined iron production of all countries in the world, coal accounted for 2/3 of the world's total production, and cotton cloth accounted for more than half of the world's total."]

Li Shimin did some calculations and found that they were indeed a big country based only on iron and cloth. So they produced so many things and went to war with others if they wanted to sell them to him?

In all these years of living in the Central Plains, this is the first time I have heard of such a reason for starting a war.

["In 1814, the world's first steam locomotive was born in England."

On the straight railway track, a big black guy was smoking. The mechanical arm moved back and forth, moving forward slowly and heavily.

“In 1830, steam locomotives began running on the world’s first operational railway.”

Something completely different and new is speeding past with its whistle blowing and smoke...]

Everyone was staring at the self-moving train above, dazzled by it.

It moves on the railway by itself without manpower or animal power, carrying cars of people and goods to one place after another.

It can transport people, and naturally it can also transport troops.

Taking a deep breath, the farsighted and smart people in these systematically selected time and space realized how the craftsmen who once ignored them could have the ability to change the world.

[Crystal Palace...World Industrial Expo...]

The restored model of the Crystal Palace and the magnificent, novel building made of expensive transparent glass and steel in the painting arouse people's curiosity.

["The accurate name of that event 155 years ago was the 'World Industrial Products Expo', but some Chinese translated it as 'Xuan Qi Hui'"

In the huge portraits, from the Westerners in strange clothes to the Qing Dynasty people wearing hats and long braids, they look so out of place.

"The opening ceremony of the Universal Exhibition became a festival throughout London. Queen Victoria, who came to cut the ribbon, repeatedly used one word to express her excitement - glory."]

The familiar wearing flower feathers and court clothes made the Qing people recognize him at a glance.

Tianmu didn't say anything, but Kangxi also understood that they, the Qing Dynasty, were just spectators in the grand gathering above and had nothing to offer.
