Chapter 839 The era of great social division of labor is coming
After Bai Shisheng saw Xiantian Yiqi from Ruzai, he squatted in the corner all day long to study, wondering how many kinds of gases there were in the air and the causes of Xiantianyiqi, because Yuzai himself also half understood Fusion.
It was refined, so Bai Shisheng thought it was very interesting.
In contrast, Yu Zai got an "unassigned citizen".
There was a happy atmosphere in the earthen house, and everyone was still discussing the production of yellow gunpowder, and at the same time, there was also the opening of a large iron smelting plant!
During this period, Yu Zai found other leaders, and they all went to the oil mill for a meeting.
Yuzai said to Guangchengzi and Chisongzi: "Two masters, didn't we say before that we would develop the copper smelting industry here? I have an idea to open a large iron smelting plant."
"I think it's time!"
If you don’t do it now, what will you do? The water level of the river has almost reached the danger level. The water level is rising every month. It is estimated that a major flood will break out soon. Of course, because the source of the Minjiang River has been slightly controlled for a few years, it should
There will not be the bad situation as expected in the past. After all, the six-headed dragon has been killed and the water in the barrier lake has been released.
According to this situation, the Yellow River's flood rate should be ahead of mine. However, my work in the Central Plains was not in vain, and it will soon show results.
According to the predetermined goal, the power of the upcoming flood has been weakened. Azai's reputation among various forces can rise a lot. Similarly, under the protection of the large flood control city, it may not be possible to open up new land in the next few years.
, then it is necessary to start other production while maintaining the original land.
The significance of popularizing copper and iron tools in helping every household carry out agricultural production cannot be underestimated. As for farming tools, metal tools are not even slightly more efficient than wood and stone tools.
"We also need to make paper. I think it can be implemented..."
"Papermaking? What is that?"
Some leaders didn't understand, so Yuzai made up a little explanation:
"I once soaked some trees and hemp leaves in a puddle. Later..."
"Something went wrong while making linen..."
This is roughly the case. Ruan Zai makes full use of the chance of things to explain the emergence of paper. In fact, many inventions come from "accidents".
The leaders screamed, and Yuzai explained carefully why they didn't start trying to make such a thing at that time.
The main reason is that it is not conducive to preservation. The poor mountains and rivers, the miasma and moisture, the paper must be stored in a dry place and not in a humid place, otherwise it will accelerate the oxidation and decomposition of the paper.
The preservation of original paper cannot be compared with that of later generations of paper that have been strengthened by technology. The composition of paper is fiber, the main component of which is carbon, which contains impurities and is not as stable as carbon.
Temperature, humidity, and light all have a catalytic effect on the oxidation of paper.
Paper can indeed last for thousands of years if it doesn't oxidize, but that's nonsense.
But now, Hongzhou's construction and living environment have been fully improved. There are no longer large wet areas under the canals.
The climate cannot be changed, but the environment can be changed artificially. Therefore, Yu Zai is now preparing to get the paper. After returning to Hongzhou, there are many things from the political system, to the technology tree, to the gas refining process.
Things to be busy with.
At the same time, there are also resettlement measures for the Chu people.
…………
There is a special village in Hongzhou. Two hundred Chu people came to settle here. They were allocated land and received pigs, cattle and sheep from the production team.
The people of Chu felt novel about everything here. Except for many things they had never seen before, the methods of producing food and the amount of output made them tremble all over. They almost started to pray, thinking that this was the skill of the gods.
Does Hongzhou have gods per capita?
It's hard for the Chu people not to think so. They caressed the adobe houses at home. The village was not big, but the houses were extremely sturdy. Fu Dou was patrolling at night, and the fire dog was wagging its tail. The land around it looked particularly special at night.
bright.
Sometimes, you can see a pig farming, you have met the tengu, and some people have seen things like dragons, turtles, and hippopotamuses in the salt fields...
Of course, what left a deep impression on them was the goat wandering around looking for something to do.
Sometimes, you can still see a bear selling fish in the farmer's market, but this bear was recently going to Chongyong Pass with a certain supplier to deliver food, until one day, the people of Chu saw a rare scene.
The cart was pulled by oxen, with a green-haired tiger sitting on the cart, and a bear carrying grain.
On that day, the Chu people stopped thinking, and Luo Luo was also surprised. What surprised him was not the Chu people, but a nine-headed tiger that appeared recently.
Later, Luoluo often heard people comparing him with the enlightened beast, so he became angry.
Although Kaiming Beast said to everyone, please don't insult my kind, it is also great, but Luo Luo didn't appreciate it!
Luo Luo just wants to kill the enlightened beast with a sliding shovel!
You are a tigress, can you be considered a tiger with your physique?
Later, the Chu people heard that the composition of their village was different from other villages.
Yu Zai seemed to be implementing a new system in their new village. Instead of resisting, the Chu people were looking forward to it.
They have integrated into this warm land.
Similarly, after Yu Zai returned, the focus and leaders emphasized villages rather than tribes. When the concept of tribes gradually faded out of people's sight, clans would become kinships and then be broken down into families again.
The era of great social division of labor is coming, the clan system will collapse, and the prototype of the country is emerging.
"Have you heard that the leaders are preparing to implement a new system? There are also new factories and workshops to be opened. It is said that a group of handicraftsmen will be recruited..."
"Papermaking? I heard it's similar to retting. It should be a job for girls."
"The work women do is much more sophisticated than this. Do you know the jacquard machine? Look, the dress that girl over there is wearing looks good!"
"What are you talking about? That's my wife. Pay attention to your words and deeds."
"Crazy, is this a woman your wife?"
"That's really my wife!"
It wasn't until the girl in the distance called the man here that the man mockingly said goodbye to the stunned man.
But what the bachelor said made the man think about it.
He asked his wife about the paper mill, which was recycling rags and taking a lot of goods from the textile mill.
The birth of a new industry will create a new group of practitioners. In the past, everyone was farming, and there was no difference. Now there are more opportunities, and because Yu Zai has been reforming agriculture,
Many people also believe that agricultural production is the foundation of everything. In the future, there will be fewer people farming, but the output will increase, so more wealth will be earned.
When people in the handicraft street heard that a large iron smelting factory was going to be opened, they all rubbed their hands in excitement. Even though they were very tired during this period, they still had to pretend to be energetic to avoid being eliminated when they were selected.
Of course, the prerequisite for opening is construction, so the workers who had built the dam came and they began to plan the drawing board. According to Zanzai's requirements, this thing must be a huge spectacle.
Big is good, more is beautiful, copper and iron utensils can awaken the most primitive aesthetics in people's hearts.
This is an era of accumulation. Only when the accumulation is strong enough can we carry out rapid development in one go.
"You said, in the future, if everyone has a set of armor, how many Sanmiao can we fight?"
"At least two and a half."
As a new unit of measurement of combat power, Sanmiao began to appear frequently in folk tales.
Xiang began to collect these stories, and at the same time he also heard some interesting things from Yu Zai on the way back to the Central Plains.
