Chapter 467
For ancient countries, lasting and stable were much more reliable than technological innovation.
And in their opinion, the basic appearance of this world has never changed.
Almost all ancient civilizations believed that the world was in some kind of stagnation or cycle until the end of mythology.
The Chinese saw the dynasty cycle, the ancient Egyptians saw the myth reenactment, the Japanese believed that the imperial kingdom was sustainable, and the Iranians believed that the struggle was immortal.
Therefore, when new technologies have influence distribution and the power to transform social relations appears on the horizon, the ancients must have been vigilant.
Rulers fear losing power, and ruled people fearing that life will be worse.
To be honest, it was not only the rulers who feared technological progress in ancient society, but the people were the same.
Qi Yaoyao stroked her chin and looked at Shen Zhouheng intently.
Chen Zhouheng was stared at by his wife, “Yaoyao, what are you looking at?”
"Don't talk, let me figure it out myself." Qi Yaoyao waved at him.
In an agricultural society, it seems that agricultural technological innovation will not be excluded or even enforced.
Because Chinese people are too afraid of being hungry, hunger penetrates into their bone marrow. They always have food in their hands and are not panic. Only by storing some food can you feel safe.
As long as agricultural efficiency can be improved, manure technology and rotation technology will be promoted, and there will be no hesitation to force it.
Rebellion is because of hunger.
However, the desire for food also brings another result. If efficiency cannot be improved quickly, this technology will be difficult to accept.
However, technology is not achieved overnight, but requires human, material and financial resources.
This requires the ruling class to make up its mind, so that the ruling class can live a comfortable life, without worrying about food and clothing, and people who can be enslaved.
It is not so urgent to need technology to improve efficiency, so naturally I don’t care.
Qi Yaoyao came back to her senses and looked at him warmly and said, "It's not your fault. The arguments from ancient times to the present are all inferior. Only those who study well and become good at studying will be official! The career path is the right path."
"And those who play these strange tricks and tricks are all rich people who are frustrated in the officialdom who are excluded from the right path and have no talent to meet." Qi Yaoyao looked at him with a cold look and said, "The official-oriented country is very normal. After all, who doesn't want to lie drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman and wake up the power of the world."
The amber-colored pupil of the sunken boat looked at her seriously correcting, "No, no! This is what Huo Qubing said: lying on the knee of a beautiful woman drunk, holding a murder sword when she wakes up, not asking for Liancheng Bi, but asking for a murder sword. The Huns have not yet destroyed, so why do you want to be a family?"
"It's okay to extend it!" Qi Yaoyao said with annoyed look, looking at him with interest and said, "This is not what men dream of."
"It seems that nothing I say is right." Chen Zhouheng said honestly, "I understand your thoughts. But to change this kind of thinking, you must have strong financial resources as your backing, otherwise who will play with you! Wait for the northwest wind!" He smiled and said, "You must cultivate this kind of thinking that is thorough and ask more questions, and you need to ask more questions?"
"Yeah!" Qi Yaoyao looked at him happily.
Chen Zhou rubbed his son's bald head, "Son, it seems that to satisfy your mother's tricks and tricks, Daddy has to make a lot of money!"
"Idiot." Qi Yaoyao glanced at him.
"Why are you scolding me?" Chen Zhouheng said to her with big eyes blinking innocently.
"There will be a continuous stream of silver when it is used in production and life." Qi Yaoyao said with bright eyes at him.
"Yes!" Chen Zhouheng pointed to his head and said, "My thinking here must also change."
Oh, I'm going to be the one who finally convinced this old antique. It's not easy! I don't know how many brain cells have died.
"Don't worry about that loom?" Qi Yaoyao said with dark eyes as dark as he looked at him.
"Why aren't you in a hurry?" Chen Zhouheng looked at her in confusion and said.
"Isn't it good to improve efficiency? This way, women like mothers used to do not need to weave cloth day and night, and they will ruin people." Chen Zhouheng's amber pupils looked at her and said worriedly.
"I know, but..." Qi Yaoyao scratched her head and said, "What should I say? I'm afraid you won't understand."
"If you don't say it, how could I not understand?" Chen Zhouheng looked at her with a funny look and said, "Tell me, look."
"You know Guan Zhong, Guan Zi!" Qi Yaoyao said with deep and clear eyes looking at him.
"I know, Guan Zhong destroyed Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He used only one piece of clothing to destroy Lu: Lu and Qi were neighbors, so he naturally had rash exchanges. The textile technology of Lu was very developed. Na Na was enough to produce a very thin and white cloth called Lu silk. This cloth was known for its thinness and earned a lot of money by relying on the Lu Shi. In order to curb Lu Shi, Guan Zhong established Duke Huan of Qi and his ministers to take the lead and wear clothes made of Lu Shi. Soon, the trend of pride in wearing Lu Shi was also pride among the people. At this time, Guan Zhong directly ordered that all the people of Qi were not allowed to weave white cloth, and all the fabrics of Qi were bought from Lu Shi.
For a time, the supply of Lu saurus was in short supply, and the price naturally rose. As soon as the people of Lu found that the profit of weaving saurus was high! It was much more cost-effective than farming, so they took the initiative to give up farming and set off a wave of weaving saurus in Lu.
Guan Zhong added another fire. For every thousand batches of Lu merchants who supplied Qi, they could receive a reward of 300 gold and 10,000 horses. For a time, a phenomenon occurred in the Lu State. Every household textile machine sounded, and every household was busy with weaving whites.
Under such circumstances, no one cultivated it, and the fertile land became wasteland."
"Uh..." Chen Zhouheng said briefly and roughly Guan Zhongmi Lu, blinking his delicate peach blossom eyes, "I seem to understand what you mean."
"What do you understand?" Qi Yaoyao looked at him with interest and said.
"Improving efficiency means bringing huge profits. You are afraid that some people will destroy fertile fields and plant cotton to make a profit, causing famine." Chen Zhouheng said with deep eyes at her.
"Yeah!" Qi Yaoyao nodded violently, with smiles on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. It's not easy to have someone in this world who understands you.
It is even more rare to understand each other!
"Then I will study it first, and wait until the right time before taking it out." Chen Zhouheng said gently with his gentle eyes looking at her.
"Well! Research also takes time." Qi Yaoyao said with her eyes as warm as black jade.
