As the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is gradually raised, the overall climate will enter a long drought period, which is irreparable by manpower. However, in this era, the water flow of the Peacock River is still sufficient.
It is even possible to build water trucks to promote work in the workshop.
"Turn, turn! Turn!"
『#￥%!』
"Wow……"
Immediately, the Hu people watching the fun suddenly widened their eyes and screamed in surprise.
These Hu people in the Western Regions looked carefully, and at first they were filled with fear, just like the rotating water wheel would escape from the river bank and crush them all to death.
After waiting for a while, I found that the water truck was still a water truck and the Han people were not injured. These Hu people gradually breathed out and tried to see the water trucks up close.
Then he found that he was close to the water truck and would not be injured, so he started to laugh.
Inexplicably laughed and excited.
For the Hu people in this area of the Western Regions, many of them have never left the Western Regions in their entire lives, and they are not sure what is going on outside the Western Regions. Naturally, they cannot say that they have seen any water trucks, let alone machines that use hydraulic power to drive them.
A big wheel soaked in water drove the machinery to creak, and then the naughty Hu children also learned the machinery to crunch, and then laughed inexplicably into a bunch of them and played together.
Han Guo looked at it, shook his head, ignored the Hu people who were inexplicably happy and excited, but walked around the equipment inside the factory, patrolling and watching.
When Han Guo saw that the first strand of hemp wool was successfully wrapped around the spindle, he couldn't help but say yes.
Of course, the blended threads of this era are not worth mentioning at all compared to the worsted threads of later generations, but for the current production level of the Western Regions, this is almost a cross-age crush.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Whoever can grasp these four words will grasp everyone's lifeline.
There are a large amount of cheap labor in the Western Regions.
How cheap is it?
Being slightly better treated than slaves is enough to make these Western Regions people grateful...
You should know that most of the countries in the Western Regions were slave countries. In fact, until modern times, these nomadic peoples were basically on the verge of slavery. Even those who advocated the Qing Dynasty in later generations could not deny it. In fact, the Qing Dynasty was unable to completely escape from slavery until its demise. Masters and slaves were the main themes of the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, Xihai City can use extremely low labor to carry out large-scale production, and then use these produced items to exchange for various agricultural products in the Western Regions. In fact, Fei Qian's scissors-difference harvesting model for Shandong is just the second-class than Guanzhong's technology.
In Guanzhong, China, many Han people do not like wool clothes. Due to the limitations of chemical technology, wool smells stronger than traditional cherry and is prone to insects. If it is refined with sulfur, it will cause problems such as yellowing and poor texture. For example, it does not matter to the children of the gentry. Anyway, from slave society to capital society, it is common sense to wear ritual robes once among wealthy families, and it is not easy to pass through water...
The Western Regions are different. The climate is relatively dry, and fur and other items are easy to preserve. Moreover, these Western Regions people do not pay attention to any odor or odor. There are cheaper, warmer and lighter sweaters, which are of course more popular than in the Han area. At the same time, in addition to driving the textile industry, the garment industry also has a large number of upstream and downstream industries that can be developed, such as machinery, dyeing, garment making, transportation, etc., which drives other consumer industries even more huge.
The textile industry in China actually started from the Han Dynasty, experienced the Tang and Song Dynasties, and was very mature and huge by the Ming and Qing Dynasties. However, the emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties did not make good use of this, especially in the late Ming and Qing Dynasties. When other countries with a little more national strength were sailing hard and opening up the market, the emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were still shutting their doors and dreaming all day long.
Moreover, the textile industry is also suitable for small families.
Sheep raised in the Western Regions naturally have products such as wool, but they were used as felt blankets, and the handwork was rough and slow. After all, the original family or slave owner needed to collect raw materials and finally produce finished products, so they needed craftsmen from all aspects, not one less. Now, whether it is a small family or a slave owner, they only need to provide raw materials, and then they can use the money to sell raw materials to buy finished products, which invisibly accelerates the circulation of goods and makes more Western Regions willing to choose this relatively simple model.
The first one produced is naturally the simplest compilation model.
No pattern, original variegated colors.
Han Guo knew that in the Han area, dyed or some fancy patterned sweaters have begun to appear, and these sweaters will become subsequent high-value products...
How terrible or tempting a market with almost no competitors and using force to ensure a complete openness is? You can see the development of the Eight-Nation Alliance in history.
At the same time, the Western Regions are also a good place to grow cotton.
Before the Opium War, China produced 600 million pieces of cotton every year, six times the amount of cotton cloth exported by the British. After the war...
Of course, the efficiency and yield rate of textile machines at this stage are relatively low, but it doesn’t matter. With the expansion of the textile industry, there may not be any Western Daopo in the land of the Western Regions in advance, contributing to the development of the Chinese textile industry.
Starting from the first hydraulic spinning wheel, but the future is definitely not just hydraulic power.
Under the leadership of Huang Chengyan, Fei Qian has set up research standards for Huang's family and other workshops. The review meeting formed by craftsmen conducts new postgraduate entrance examination projects. At the same time, he issues tasks to students in the academy and engineering hall, attracting craftsmen and students to study projects together with relatively generous bonuses.
Seeing that the hydraulic spinning wheel began to qualify, Jia Xu also had a smile on his face.
In Xihai City, the raw materials accumulated due to the broken trade route connections now have a place to use, and these raw materials will quickly become finished products.
The craftsman head in charge of the hydraulic workshop was reporting to Jia Xu, "The difficulty in spinning is the combination of silk. The long and short hair is the difficulty, and the difficulty is the continuous but not the difficulty is the spinning. Therefore, the combination is more combing. The hair is very short and is entangled with each other. Only by rubbing it into a slender mixed thread first, spinning and pulling it while both hands, which is not fast enough... My subordinates are also considering whether to add some twisted spinning strips or add some processes before... But now these ideas are not yet fulfilled, so we can't go directly to the spinning wheel..."
Although Jia Xu was smart, he only had a general understanding of textile equipment. After deducting the technical link, he didn't understand it very well. After listening for a while, he grasped the key point. It was difficult and could not be faster. So the mechanical problems could not be solved for the time being, so human resources would be used to make up for it.
"Now don't rush to increase the output..." Jia Xu said, "Recruit more apprentices first, be smarter, and those who are naturally clumsy are not allowed... You can set up a model for apprentices to practice, so as not to break the machine if you don't learn skills well, but you will delay more..."
The craftsmen responded repeatedly and wrote down Jia Xu's instructions.
Jia Xu walked around, then waved to Han Guo.
The two left the workshop and walked aside.
The guards unfolded on both sides, leaving some space for the two of them.
"The lord conquered the civic city." Jia Xu said.
Han Guo opened his eyes wide and then seemed to be asking something, but he didn't ask.
Jia Xu looked at Han Guo and took another sentence, "The lord ordered Shanshan Lao Wang Tong Gerogake to cut the land to redeem his life..."
Han Guo frowned slightly and thought, and after a moment, he took a look at Jia Xu.
"Can you gain something?" Jia Xu asked.
Han Guo still frowned slightly, "Return to the envoy, I have some thoughts...
Jia Xu had a smile in his eyes, "Tell me, look."
Although Jia Xu did not say how much care he would give to him on the surface, he actually appreciated him and was willing to give Han Guo more opportunities, as well as such a response and guidance similar to the current situation.
Otherwise, who would be nice to someone for no reason?
Han Guo bowed and said, "Now there is an enemy inside and outside, Zhangwu may not be able to make achievements, but instead makes the thieves beware."
Jia Xu nodded and said, "Not bad."
Han Guo looked up slightly and glanced at Jia Xu. He knew that he was right, but not completely correct. This expression was often seen by Han Guo when he was before Li Rusheng. Now, seeing such expressions on Jia Xu again makes Han Guo feel a little moved...
Jia Xu looked at Han Guo with some confusion.
Han Guo quickly said, "Please give me some advice."
Jia Xu looked back at the workshop and said, "Which place is more important than Xihai City?"
"Of course..." Han Guo was halfway through and suddenly got stuck, then he also looked back at the newly established workshop and fell silent.
Obviously, Xihai City is also important here.
Xihai City represents politics, and the newly built workshops and workshops here represent economy.
There is no shortage of wood in the Western Regions, and there are many surrounding mountains, but large-scale mining in a short period of time will undoubtedly damage the water and soil. Of course, no one will care about these things at the moment. The more troublesome problem is transportation. If you want to transport it here, there is no way to have as abundant hydraulic transportation as in the Central Plains or the southwest.
Moreover, in the workshop, some equipment parts come from the east of Hedong, Guanzhong. If you want to produce them yourself in the Western Regions, you will have to wait for a while, so once it is damaged on a large scale, it is not that easy to restore.
Defending Xihai City, the current garrison is not a problem, but in the factory here in Peacock River, it is impossible to establish a stable defensive position due to its own geographical location.
Obviously, Jia Xu's meaning is not to announce that Fei Qian's conquering the Ni City is a kind of protection for this place.
But, why?
Perhaps this is the question that Jia Xu wants to ask Han Guo and hopes Han Guo can understand.
The Western Regions are chaotic, and even if the countries are connected, their languages are inconsistent. This is destined that even if you get the news or hear what others say, these Western Regions countries will subconsciously use what they have seen with their own eyes as the benchmark. Therefore, even if Fei Qian has conquered the Shanshan Royal City now, many people will still not believe it.
In their concept, it will take at least one year to fight a royal city!
How long did it take for the Han people to conquer Dayuan in the early years?
Lu Bu didn’t fight to Dayuan before, but only hit Chigu City. How much time did it take?
When things happen beyond their understanding...
Han Guo turned around suddenly and looked at the workshop again, especially those who were inexplicably excited and happy around the workshop and workshop...
them……
What are you happy about?
Han Guo remembered very clearly that when Han craftsmen were about to dig canals and build water wheels on the Peacock River, these Hu people opposed it. If they were not afraid of the soldiers of the Han people, they would not have thought that they could be built smoothly. They were happy now, so why were they afraid at the beginning?
What did they fear before?
Now they don’t seem to be against each other, so what are they happy about?
Then these people learned about Shanshan Kingdom...
Just like Han Guo can't understand why these people were afraid of water wheels before, can Han Guo now be sure whether they are happy or afraid after they know the news about Shanshan Kingdom?
Han Guo looked at Jia Xu.
Jia Xu nodded, then smiled and said, "Confucius said, the people can be used to do so, but not to know... How should we explain it? If Confucius is asked to go to the Western Regions and see the people in the Western Regions, what should we say?"
『This...』 Han Guo frowned and murmured repeatedly, 『Is it because of the envoy's intention, these people from the Western Regions... It is also "foreign", and the word "knowledge" is the key?"
Many people are afraid and afraid to face reality. Not only in the current Western Regions, life is so hard, why do you still torture yourself while resting?
Why suffer?
Happiness is important!
This is the concept of many people.
Fear is a very interesting emotion.
Ignorance is also a kind of happiness.
Especially when communication is not effective.
The real world is like an abyss.
There are those who cannot bear to look at it, and there are also those who do not want to look at it.
Is the only remaining scutellar in the cold world real or silicone?
Who can speak clearly and who is willing to listen to whom?
Language is pale after all.
Especially now, whether it is Han Guo or Jia Xu, it is impossible to say that he will definitely be able to establish an effective communication model with these people in the Western Regions...
After all, in the Western Regions, the kings and officials from their countries were still a minority, and most of the people in the Western Regions could not empathize with the Han people and could not communicate effectively.
Stones are defined as non-living goals.
It is because it cannot be expressed in humans.
Bugs are defined as ants.
It is because although insects have limited expressions, they cannot communicate with them.
Animals such as cats and dogs are defined as pets because they can move, interact and communicate with limited communication.
Humans are defined as similar because they can communicate in a higher level.
Therefore, the "Holy Virgin" human beings will be recognized by most people, and the "Holy Virgin" cats and dogs will also be understood by many people. However, the "Holy Virgin" insect will most people think whether this person is sick. As for the "Holy Virgin" person with a broken stone, most people will immediately judge that this person is indeed sick.
This is the reason.
The level of communication is the level of empathy.
So no one will try to raise a stone because the empathy level is not enough and cannot interact.
The levels of empathy and the levels of threat are symbiotic, but in humans, the priority of threats is higher than empathy.
When a dog learns to pick up frisbee, learns to stand, sit and roll, learns to pee and defecate at a fixed time, and even learns to buy vegetables, humans will have strong communication happiness.
When the dog started talking, cutting vegetables with a knife, discussing with humans how to distribute dinner...
If even the insects are waving their limbs and expressing their opinions to discuss with humans and divide their respective responsibilities...
For the people in the Western Regions, it may not be happiness, but undoubtedly horror.
There are very few people in the Western Regions, many dogs, and more bugs.
Most of the time, people from the Western Regions would communicate with dogs, but would not communicate with bugs or something.
But in the current Western Regions, the political structure of most countries is that people and dogs control a lot of bugs. They have not learned any learning, do not know any words, and even language only knows a bug. If you want to communicate with it, what should you do?
If a bug can still distinguish right from wrong, know good or bad, and is unwilling to be a bug, then will it still be a bug?
This is a very interesting question.
Why did Lu Bu fail to do it well before in Xihai City? Some of the reasons why he was unable to establish effective communication with Bugs.
Lu Bu didn't have that patience, he only knew how to kill if he was disobedient.
After the killing was over, the insect didn't know how to resist, but he didn't understand what Lu Bu said either.
So Fei Qian used another method to make these people afraid, get close to dogs, and let insects experience it.
After all, it would be bad if it was not only people but dogs, but even bugs were affected in the process of transforming and developing the Western Regions. Because it was really forced to the point where people were crazy and dogs jumped over the wall and insects were flying all over the sky, it was not in line with Fei Qian's overall goal of developing the Western Regions. Therefore, it was a very important step to pretend to be the same as the Western Regions in the early stage. When other "humans" and "dogs" discovered that Fei Qian was actually different, it was too late and it was over.
Han Guo suddenly realized.
"If you want these people in the Western Regions to know that the artifacts are harmless, you can only let them see them with your own eyes," Jia Xu said slowly, "Only you can get their trust, and only then can you let them... If all the countries in the Western Regions see them with your own eyes..."
Jia Xu smiled.
Within the smile, it seemed a little crazy and cold.
Han Guo was silent, and only felt a little cold hair standing on his back.
"The lord has moved his envoy to Qiang, Xiaowan, Luhu and other places, and summoned his lords to gather..." Jia Xu raised his head and looked into the distance, "However, there is still one person in the north road, going to Shule, Kucha, donating poisons and other countries..."
Han Guo raised his head and bowed, "I am willing to go!"
"Good!" Jia Xu nodded, then reached out to the workshop and the workshop, "Remember, let the master be afraid, let the officials approach, and lead the people to see him! Then the Western Regions can be peaceful!"
