Chapter 905: The Yellow Turban Collar Beyond the Times
Regarding the number of Taoist masters, Lei Hu naturally wanted to have as many as possible.
He now believes more and more that the power of magic is the primary productive force.
Many mature technologies and products in modern society can be solved through magical means with the help of Taoist masters, which will greatly improve the production and living standards of Huangjin collars.
In Lei Hu's eyes, the current Yellow Turban collar is equivalent to the land of China in the mid-1990s.
Not mentioning military strength, just looking at production and living standards, they are almost the same as those in second- and third-tier cities.
In terms of living standards, the situation of the Yellow Turban collars with almost the same population is better.
The world here is rich in spiritual energy and rich in products, which is no joke.
Apart from other things, through the planting technology developed by Taoist masters, it is possible to achieve three or even five crops a year through interplanting, and the yield is quite good, no worse than the later super hybrid rice.
In terms of transportation, the so-called Thousand Mile Horses are almost the same as the pack horses in the normal world. They are the most rubbish existence. The Thousand Mile Horses and the Hundred Thousand Mile Horses are the standard equipment among civilians and the military. They are not much better than the cars in modern society.
With magic as a basis, Taiping Taoist's methods are no joke. Many tools that facilitate production and life can be easily produced.
Lei Hu did not rely entirely on magic, but asked a large number of craftsmen recruited by the Yellow Turban Army to make full use of water and wind power to maximize the effect of the mechanical tools they created.
For example, all kinds of workshops that can be seen everywhere in the Yellow Turban collar use water power and wind power as power and operate through mechanical transmission. These are not too difficult things.
At present, although the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Leader only occupies a little more than two counties, it has a radius of one million miles. The number of Taiping Taoist masters under Lei Hu is only a few hundred thousand, how can they take care of so many?
The most important job of the Taoist Academy is to serve the Yellow Turban collar's infrastructure construction and improve the military's combat readiness. The amount that can be used for people's livelihood is very small.
Ordinary merchants can only think of ways to improve production efficiency and increase income by relying on the transportation system and communication system that the Yellow Turbans have gradually developed from scratch.
Fortunately, Lei Hu did not forget to improve folk production and living technologies. He not only opened a Mohism class in the school, but also organized a large number of craftsmen and students who could read and digitize to study and study the mechanics and machinery that could be used for production and life.
After so many years of accumulation, there are still some effects.
Like levers and gears, they appear in large numbers and are used in various production and daily life, which have produced great effects. They have now become the mainstream method for improving production efficiency in major workshops in the Yellow Turban Collar.
The late Han Dynasty was not far away from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Despite the heavy blows of the Qin Emperor's burning of books and the suppression of Confucianism and the exclusive respect for Confucianism in the early Western Han Dynasty, there is still a lot of knowledge from hundreds of schools of thought passed down in the collections of the people and aristocratic families.
The so-called Mohist mechanism city built with water power and mechanism techniques is not out of reach for the technical power of the Yellow Turban Leaders.
If various runes and talisman blessings are added, a truly terrifying war fortress can be built.
Of course, Lei Hu is not that boring. The Yellow Turban Leader Taiping Taoist family is exclusive. In fact, it is Taoism that is the only one. There is no dangerous environment like the Mohist family that may encounter disaster at any time. There is no need to use the technology at hand to build the so-called
War fortress.
Lei Hu is mainly concerned about the transportation and communication within the territory. As long as these two aspects are achieved, the strength of the entire Yellow Turban collar will reach the level of the second industrial revolution in modern society, and the gap will be completely widened with the heroes of the late Han Dynasty at this time.
And it’s still a gap that simply cannot be bridged.
At present, all the roads in Huangjinling are cemented, especially the official roads are eight-lane and six-lane, and even the country roads are two-lane.
As talisman vehicles began to be widely used among the people, both material circulation and public transportation have been greatly improved.
In addition, the tracks that had been built with great efforts before were now spread throughout the main cities of the Yellow Turban Territory. The speed of exchange of materials and personnel within the Yellow Turban Territory, as well as the mobilization of troops, was extremely fast.
The smooth roads and the increase in the speed of transportation have made the entire Huangjin collar business prosper rapidly. The prosperous commerce has filled the entire Huangjin collar with vitality.
In addition to the improvement of roads and means of transportation, the Yellow Turban collar also has another technology that is not available elsewhere, and that is the communication device developed through the Taoist's spells.
In the past, there were communication runes, which could only be used for short-distance communication between army generals. There were also rune speakers erected in towns and villages, which also required manual communication at one level.
Although this level of communication is only equivalent to that of China in the 1950s and 1960s, it is much better than the territory of the late Han Dynasty. At least the control of the territory is much stronger than this method.
By the time Taishi Ci returned with his army, the communication technology within the Yellow Turbans had been upgraded.
Under Lei Hu's guidance, Taiping Taoist Temple gathered hundreds of thousands of Taoist masters to jointly research, and successfully developed a talisman array for sound and image transmission, similar to television sets in modern society.
Taoist masters' magic methods are much more stable and reliable than some immature technologies in modern society.
At least, after the sound image talisman array was developed, the Taiping Taoist Temple quickly developed a sound image transmitter equivalent to a television set. Both the sound image and signal reception are quite stable. This is the stabilizing effect of the magic.
.
With the sound and image transmitter equivalent to a television set, the communication level of the entire Yellow Turban collar has reached a new level.
As long as you are a modern person, it is impossible not to know the powerful propaganda effect of television. At least you don't have to worry about local distortions of high-level policies.
At the same time, the existence of acoustic image transmitters also allows people to understand the situation in other places in the Yellow Turban collar, such as prices, without leaving home. Businessmen who specialize in distribution and sales can imagine how they used information asymmetry in the past.
It is no longer possible to make huge profits.
Since sound and image transmitters similar to televisions quickly spread in the Yellow Turban collar, the order in the entire Yellow Turban collar has become more stable, and the prices of goods have also become very stable, unless some forces send big businessmen to join forces to hoard strange things.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to trigger violent market fluctuations.
Especially when the Yellow Turban Army has mastered a large amount of production materials and has extremely abundant reserves of grain, meat and vegetables, no merchant dares to mess around.
The power of the Yellow Turban Army is no joke. Violating the laws of the territory will not be tolerated.
Although the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans have existed for many years, in fact since Lei Hu became the leader and began to change the style of rogue bandits, they can actually only be regarded as a young vassal force.
Being young means that the so-called interest class has not yet been formed, and there are no aristocratic families in the territory with powerful eyes and hands. Lei Hu also firmly controls the two powerful forces of the Taoist Master and the Yellow Turban Army, and there are no forces or individuals who dare to resist.
With the developed transportation and communication network, the development of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans has been rapid, and the gap between Qingzhou and other princes has gradually widened. It can be said that they are two different worlds.
At this time, the Yellow Turban Leader was beyond imagination.
Lei Hu is confident that even if a powerful celestial being like Zhang Jiao comes, it will be difficult to completely wipe out the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. They are so awesome.
Taishi Ci had just returned and had only time to arrange the two million elite cavalry accompanying him. He had not yet arrived at the chief's palace to hand over his errands. When he saw the sound and image transmitter in the military camp, he couldn't help but be surprised.
At the same time, the Liu Bei Group and the resident envoy of Bingzhou Langqi, who came with them, looked at the sound and image transmitter in the room with shameless surprise at the inn.
"A major traffic accident occurred in xx County, with more than a dozen people dead and dozens injured. The local government is paying close attention to this and will announce further developments..."
"Two groups of strongmen fought in xx area, causing serious casualties. The local garrison has intervened in the matter. The garrison general said that he would cooperate with the local government to severely crack down on local criminal gangs..."
"General Wu Anguo, the commander-in-chief of the local garrison of the Yellow Turban Army, recently delivered an important speech at a meeting of garrison generals, saying that the local garrison will become the anchor of local stability and actively participate in various local affairs..."
"General Guan Hai inspected..."
"Leader Thunder Tiger had important instructions at a certain meeting..."
"..."
Looking at the sound and picture transmitter in the room, the permanent representatives of Liu Bei Group and Bingzhou Langqi quickly changed from surprised expressions to dull expressions. Obviously, this new thing in the Yellow Turban collar was beyond their reach.
The scope of imagination is difficult to accept for a while.
Especially when they saw the important figures of the Yellow Turbans appearing in the sound transmitter from time to time, including the chief leader Lei Hu, the second highest general of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans Wu Anguo and the third highest general Guan Hai, their uneasy mood became even more intense.
Damn it, the top officials of any princely house are not superior beings, how can they be like Qingzhou Huangjin here, where several big bosses often appear in the sound and image transmitter in front of them, and no matter who they are, they can see it.
Even Liu Bei, who is known for his benevolence and righteousness, can get along with all walks of life, but most of the time he is still in contact with internal high-level officials and local aristocratic families. How can he have anything to do with ordinary people?
After listening to the news reports, I have a clearer understanding of the Yellow Turban collar.
However, the current situation of accidents in the news from time to time made the two envoys look down upon the Yellow Turban collar.
Sure enough, mud-legged people are mud-legged people, and they don't know how to govern at all. There are so many things happening to a small yellow scarf leader. There is either a car accident here or a violent fight there. There is almost no time to calm down.
If they had been the ones to rule this place, how could so much nonsense have happened?
The two envoys happened to bump into each other while eating. They looked at each other and smiled strangely. They both had some thoughts in their minds. In short, they didn't think so highly of the Yellow Turban leaders.
