Cao Ang was a transmigrator.
Of course, he would not let go of the opportunity to build a steam engine.
The structure of the steam engine was relatively simple, but the benefits it produced were enormous.
Xun Yu finally broke free from his thoughts.""This item is a divine weapon that truly benefits the country and the people. Shen Kuo's contribution is enough to shine in history.”
Shen Kuo quickly waved his hand." I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. The cement, gunpowder, and steam engine were actually completed under the guidance of the Prime Minister. The real inventor of the three national artifacts was the Lord, not me.”
"Is that true?" Xun Yu was shocked.
Cao Ang smiled and didn't deny it. He only said,"I am only providing ideas and thoughts. Without Shen Kuo's talent, it is impossible to turn them into reality.”
Ah Ke's eyes sparkled.
In her opinion.
Craftsmen like Shen Kuo often
A god like Young Master was unparalleled in history.
Ah Ke's admiration for Young Master was getting deeper and deeper.
Cao Ang asked Xun Yu,"Xun Lingjun, do you know why we need cement, invented gunpowder, and invented the steam engine?"”
Xun Yu asked curiously,"Do you need a reason for such a divine object to benefit the country and the people?"”
Cao Ang sighed slightly." Xun Lingjun is indeed a talented man. Unfortunately, some of his ideas are too conservative and outdated. Everything in the world has its pros and cons. When we look at problems, we must maintain a philosophical thinking and not only look at the good side.”
Xun Yu quickly said,"Please advise me, Prime Minister!"”
"Every era has its own social structure. Since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, China has placed emphasis on agriculture and suppressed commerce, gradually forming a class of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen.”
Xun Yu was a talented assistant to the king.
This kind of question was definitely not difficult for him.
In short, productivity was too backward!
The farmers in the country worked hard to farm and paid taxes. In most historical periods, they could barely maintain the country's operations. The slightest natural disaster could cause the world to be in turmoil.
It could be seen.
Food is the foundation of the country.
If one day…
Everyone stopped farming and went to become carpenters and blacksmiths.
Everyone stopped farming and went to speculate.
What did the country use to raise the army, and what did it use to expand its territory?
The ruling class did not exclude workers and merchants and encourage the people to farm solely because of their narrow-mindedness. It was a forced practice for the sake of social stability.
" Xun Lingjun knows the benefits of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and other high-yield crops," Cao Ang said." But have you ever thought about the negative impact of these crops?"”
Xun Yu was very puzzled.
Potato, sweet potato, corn.
They were divine artifacts that were not inferior to the three great divine artifacts.
Why did Prime Minister Cao say that it would harm society instead?
"The world is currently in a chaotic state. Some problems are not obvious, but it doesn't mean that they don't exist.”Cao Ang paused for a moment." Xun Lingjun, do you know the principle of cheap grain hurting farmers?”
Xun Yu was a little embarrassed.
He immediately understood.
Cao Ang said," The sudden increase in grain production is certainly a good thing for the country and the people, but it will inevitably cause pain."”
"Because the majority of the people at the bottom make a living by farming, the grain production has soared, and the price of grain has plummeted.”
"When farmers leave the fields and can't find a way to make a living, they often become refugees or even take the illegal path, ultimately adding instability to society.”
" The impact that potatoes and other crops have brought to China is not as simple as it seems. It is a change that has never happened in the past thousand years. It is a great revolution in the reconstruction of social structure!”
What he said was easy to understand.
Ake and Xu Zhu can also understand
They were all admired by Cao Rui's calmness in looking at problems.
He had brought so much happiness to the world, and it was a true industry.
Not only was he not complacent, but he also cared about the people and thought about those who might be affected when the world was peaceful in the future.
The state of his thoughts was so high.
His strategic vision was far-sighted.
Only ancient saints could compare!
Shen Kuo and Xun Yu were even more enlightened.
"Listening to the Prime Minister's words is better than reading ten years of books!" Xun Yu sighed with emotion.”
"Then, what does this have to do with steam engines and cement?" Shen Kuo asked.”
Cao Ang explained," After the emergence of high-yield crops, a large number of farmers became idle labor. What we need to do is to guide and use these idle labor rationally.”
" The emergence of cement, steam engines, and other things will definitely push for the explosion of infrastructure and the arrival of industrialization. This will create a large number of stable jobs, which will be enough to complete a stable transformation of the social structure.”
Some words.
He didn't understand.
The general meaning.
The few of them understood.
Xun Yu couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Prime Minister Cao had always compared himself to Xiao He, a talented assistant to the king.
However, after his negotiation with Cao Ang, he realized that the difference between him and Cao Ang was like the difference between clouds and mud.
Xun Yu felt it for the first time.
Cao Ang was a peerless hero who far surpassed Cao Cao.
Xun Yu finally let go of the last bit of obsession he had with the Han Dynasty.
He deeply understood that if he persisted in the decadent and incomparably degenerated Darkhan Dynasty and opposed the heroic ruler before him because of his foolish loyalty to the Han Dynasty, he would most likely be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and be ridiculed by people for thousands of years!
(PS1: Let me explain a little here. This book will definitely have a female lead, and the main character will definitely have a harem. Everyone, don't be anxious. Recently, the policies of online novels have been too high-handed, and it's not convenient to write too much in detail in some places. The author, Shroom, doesn't want to take in women just for the sake of taking in women. The main character will have a harem, but he will not be a stallion.）
