Liu Che looked down at the turbid water in this section of the Weihe River.
Fortunately, there should be no heavy metals or chemicals in the water.
At best, it is caused by a large amount of wastewater and domestic garbage being discharged into this section of the river for a long time.
In other words, nature can heal these wounds on its own as long as it is given time.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Che ordered: "Ji Meng, immediately hold on to my integrity, send out the knights, come here lightly, and wait for my orders!"
Both the Huben Guards and the Yulin Guards have recently been training near Baling Ranch east of Chang'an.
This is also Liu Che's best choice now.
Things here must be sealed and cannot be known to the outside world, especially not put on the table.
Once it's put on the table, it's over.
The entire world of public opinion and thought will explode!
The shock wave and residual power were enough to stop Liu Che from trying to incubate an industry for at least ten years.
"The Tang-Wu network is open to three sides, and the world is convinced..." Liu Che murmured in his heart.
Sometimes, the ancestors are too powerful, which is also a problem.
Just like in the matter of industrialization, China's problem is that its ancestors are too powerful.
As early as the ancient barbaric era, the era of knotting ropes to record events, the era after the Suiren family drilled wood to make fire.
Fuxi looked up at the astronomy and looked down at the geography, and the Dharma was like the heaven and the earth, so the civilization of the Xia Dynasty came into existence.
From that time on, the philosophy and thoughts of the Xia people could never be separated from the great proposition of man and nature.
Especially literati and scholars.
For scholar-bureaucrats and scholars, a world like "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely seeing the southern mountains" and "the fragrant grass is delicious and the fallen flowers are colorful" is a normal world.
If only they could see the scenes in front of them.
These guys are probably going crazy.
As for the emperor as the ruler, if Liu Che was not a time traveler.
When he saw this situation, his first reaction must be: Where did this thief come from? How dare he destroy my empire?
For ancient China, destroying nature and polluting the environment was no different from digging one's own ancestral graves.
Anyone who dares to dig up the ancestral graves of Chinese people will definitely fight to the death!
And the scene before us, if brought to court, would not only be a matter of digging up ancestral graves.
The comet's return in this period symbolizes war and death, and the solar and lunar eclipses mean that the emperor must review his own era.
The environment is destroyed, water sources are polluted, and the land no longer grows grains normally.
That's not just a matter that can be settled with a sinner's edict.
This may even be considered as evidence of "guilt".
"Let me see what kind of monsters these guys have created..." Liu Che waved his hand and led his followers towards the distant workshops where hedgehogs gathered on the banks of the manors.
After a quarter of an hour of short walking, Liu Che finally approached the first workshop where work was in full swing.
This is a very simple, very original, completely handmade workshop with no industrial traces.
Two to three hundred strong men, with their upper bodies bent, were hammering in front of the hot stove.
Piece by piece of farm tools are gradually taking shape.
They are all very simple farm tools.
It's just that the material is changed from bronze or wood to iron.
Outside the workshop, there are piles of various finished farm tools.
Liu Che took a look and saw that they were all old farm tools such as grass or new farm tools such as hoes.
Liu Che observed for a while and found that these people were doing some simple repetitive processes.
Almost every worker is only responsible for one process, only forging one place, and leaves the next job to others.
In the work shed, several similarly shirtless men seemed to play a role similar to quality inspectors and supervisors, observing and inspecting the products of these workers.
"This is the way the Young Mansion works..." Liu Che understood after just looking at it for a while.
Simple primitive assembly line production and intensive production appeared in Qin's Shaofu system as early as two hundred years ago after Shang Jun's reform.
When it reached its peak, Qin's Shaofu could produce and supply all the products needed by the entire Qin army.
From weapons to armor, from arrow clusters to leggings, from dry food to condiments and sauces.
There is nothing that Shaofu cannot produce and manufacture.
Those perverts built the huge underground palace of Qin Shihuang in Lishan Mountain.
Apart from anything else, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, known as the eighth wonder of the world, is enough for people to understand how strong Qin Shaofu's combat effectiveness is.
Although Han Shaofu is not as powerful as Qin Shaofu.
But it is also a large and complex organization.
Still inherited many advanced wisdom and systems from Qin Shaofu.
Among them is the system of division of labor, cooperation and assembly line production.
However, in the Qin and Han dynasties, in addition to division of labor and cooperation and assembly line production, there was also a system of working names.
On every weapon, even the arrow cluster, you can find details about where it was made, who made it and who was in charge.
If something goes wrong, it can be directly traced back to everyone in the entire chain.
However, the workshop in front of me seems to have only learned how to divide labor and cooperate, and has forgotten the name of work.
However, this is normal.
In the era of commodity economy, quality is nothing?
Quantity and price are the key.
Businessmen and capitalists only pursue profits.
Liu Che continued to move forward and saw a weaving workshop, a papermaking workshop, a ceramic firing workshop and a pig iron smelting workshop along the way.
These workshops are basically run by the powerful giants in Guanzhong.
Tian family, Yang family, Meng family, Wang family.
Of course, there are also exotic local snakes.
For example, the carriage and horse manufacturing workshop of the Shi family and the iron smelting workshop of the Bing family of Lu State.
Basically, these workshops allowed Liu Che to see the shadow of the Shaofu looming in them.
The furnishings and layout of many workshops and even the work stations of the workers are copied from the Shaofu system.
Liu Che even suspected that even the stewards and supervisors came from the Shaofu to make extra money.
However, these are not the main point. The main point is: before they were halfway through the journey, Liu Che discovered that at least two thousand workers had gathered here.
This was undoubtedly a terrible number before the Christian era.
More than two thousand workers!
In this era when a large county can support a population of about 100,000, this is a terrifying number.
This means that at least more than 2,000 families have switched from farming to handicrafts.
The first tender leaves of capitalism seem to have sprouted.
but……
pity……
"You are seeking death!" Liu Che sighed deeply.
Just as he was sighing with emotion, a worker in a nearby workshop seemed to be too tired. If he moved his hands a little slowly, he was kicked to the ground by the supervisor, and then punched and kicked.
The workers huddled on the ground and endured the punishment without saying a word.
But everyone knows that there must be anger in his heart.
"These businessmen are the same as in the past. They have offended both the upper class and the people..." Liu Che said to Bo Shi who had been following him: "Self-destruction is just around the corner!"
"But... I can't let them perish..." Liu Che turned around and asked, "Do you know the reason?" (To be continued.)
