Everyone knew Yun Chao's temper and was not disgusted with the young woman who raised objections.
On the contrary, many people still think that what the young woman said makes sense. The steam engine is so powerful that once it is launched, it will definitely take away the jobs of weavers. What will happen to the people who make a living by weaving?
Yun Chao patted the young woman happily, saying that he was not angry and told her not to worry.
"This is a good question. It shows that everyone has the common people at heart. However, since I dare to bring out the steam engine, there is a way to solve the problem..."
Yun Chao talked to everyone about the relationship between labor force and productivity.
A lot has been said, but in summary there is only one sentence: Yunchao wants to develop industry.
If we want to develop industry, we must break up the original small-scale peasant economy.
If farmers don't leave the land, how can there be so many industrial workers?
It is not an easy matter to get farmers to leave the land.
If Yunchao can solve the problem of farmers' food and clothing, it may be okay.
Now it is no longer possible. Yun Chao has made the old farmers well fed and clothed, and it is many times more difficult to get them to give up their fields and go to towns to work in factories.
Of course, Yunchao will not let the people continue to live their previous lives for this reason.
Keeping the farmers under their control well fed is the most basic requirement for a person in power.
Yunchao will never change his original intention of solving the problem of food and clothing.
A regime that starves farmers from the land is definitely not a good regime. The industry developed under such circumstances is deformed and unhealthy.
The European Industrial Revolution in later generations used a method of forcibly removing farmers from the land, which was the enclosure movement in which sheep ate people.
Yunchao is not prepared to use this method. This bloody method of accumulating original capital is not only unethical, but also has many consequences.
The so-called empire on which the sun never sets in later generations was based on the significant shortening of the average life span of industrial workers.
Because of long-term inhumane oppression, a large number of industrial workers left this world before they were thirty.
In the short term, capitalists seem to have cut back on spending and made money.
But from the perspective of the long-term benefits for the entire society, it is definitely a loss of wife and soldiers.
As a man of two generations, Yun Chao certainly knew the importance of population.
This dividend and that dividend are not as important as the demographic dividend.
With people, everything is possible.
Without people, a bunch of so-called wealth is of no use.
Yunchao's method of motivating workers is simple: high wages.
Yun Chao looked down on them all, including sweatshops and enclosures where sheep cannibalize people.
If a time traveler still uses such low-level means to earn wealth, he might as well hit the dead ball on the tofu of Tofu Xishi.
Yunchao must put people first, use technology to greatly improve productivity, create things that others don't have, and make money from outsiders.
How wonderful it is to use the money and wealth of other forces to feed the people under your rule!
Well, Yun Chao admitted that he was guilty.
For the sake of the people under his rule, he is actually prepared to bully other forces. He is truly a sinner to the people of all countries in the world!
Yun Chao has decided that when even the people in his own territory feel that it is wrong for him to bully people from other countries, it will be the time for him to retire.
Yun Chao is not qualified to lead such a group of common people in the Holy Mother.
…
The success of the steam engine greatly increased Yun Chao's confidence.
"Hurry up and apply steam power to the drilling technology. Send an order to the guys at the Survey Bureau to find the oil for me in a short time!"
As soon as Yunchao occupied the Qilu Peninsula, he had already sent people to look for oil.
This is called preparing for a rainy day.
Yun Chao knew that it would be difficult to find oil wells with ancient technology, but he didn't know it was so difficult.
So much money has been spent, so many men have been sent, so many wells have been dug, and so much work has been done, but nothing has been found.
Don’t think that the ancients couldn’t dig deep wells.
Many salt wells are tens to hundreds of meters deep, or even hundreds of meters deep.
The so-called drilling technology is to use a heavy iron drill bit, use the principle of levers and gears to lift the drill bit to a certain height, and use gravity to make the drill bit punch holes in the ground.
Yunchao has improved the drilling technology and created a smaller and heavier drill bit, as well as a more efficient pulley block, which can drill deeper.
Now with the steam engine, it can continuously provide power to the drill bit, which can greatly save labor and time costs.
As long as Yunchao's location is remembered correctly, oil will be found on the Qilu Peninsula sooner or later.
If Yun Chao remembers correctly, there seems to be a large oil field on the Qilu Peninsula.
Unfortunately, Yun Chao couldn't remember the specific location.
"By the way, send an order to the people in the Survey Bureau to ask them to ask more about old stories and legends in the local area. Find out if there is a place where Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty camped during his Eastern Expedition, and dig more exploratory wells there!"
"yes!"
Yun Chao had the impression that he had heard a legend in his previous life. When Li Shimin led his troops on the Eastern Expedition, he camped somewhere in Qilu and slept until midnight. Suddenly, it snowed heavily, making the soldiers of the three armies miserable.
As the emperor, Li Shimin couldn't bear the suffering of his soldiers, so he prayed to heaven for help.
God was eating hot pot and singing. When he heard the signal from his son, he immediately threw down a chopstick to stir up the charcoal.
With a squeaking sound, the fire chopsticks dug a deep well into the ground.
Because it was pierced with fire chopsticks, what spewed out of the well was not clean water, but burning black oil.
Well, I don’t know who made up this story, but once I heard it, I knew it was very fantasy.
However, one thing Yun Chao remembered was that the oil wells on the Qilu Peninsula should have something to do with Li Shimin's Eastern Expedition.
After passing the order, Yun Chao was still uneasy and planned to ride to the local area to check the situation himself.
The oil industry is too important to the Yun family army, even more important than the ongoing defense war of Tokyo.
If Yun Chao wants to travel, he must be prepared.
Unexpectedly, before Yun Chao went out, he received an urgent message from Bianliang, Tokyo.
"What? Kaifeng was lost?"
Yun Chao stood up suddenly.
"How is that possible? What kind of gray chicken are you doing?"
Although the Dawu Dynasty is not any dynasty in Yun Chao's memory, after traveling for so long, Yun Chao has roughly regarded the Dawu Dynasty as the Northern Song Dynasty in his previous life.
According to Yun Chao's memory, the Jurchens conquered Bianliang City only after going back and forth several times.
This was the first time troops besieged Kaifeng. Why did Kaifeng fall?
Where is Li Gang?
Where is Zongze?
Master Li...
Well, it seems like it doesn't matter if the bitch is here or not.
This bunch of trash in Bianliang City can't even defend a city. Isn't this disrupting my rhythm!
