In fact, there is essentially no difference whether the Qin Dynasty used bronze or not. Whether it can be done is the biggest problem. As long as it can be done, bronze and iron are at most difficult to make, and there is also a difference in the level of coins. The current problem of the Han Dynasty is that there is no way to go to the assembly line. The scales used by craftsmen in various places are not the same standard at all. It is okay to make large parts. But to make those small parts that require precision, the different precisions will make these parts unable to match, which will lead to Efficiency has not been improved. This is also an important reason why the Qin Dynasty was able to play with the assembly line, but the Han Dynasty could not. Weights and measures collapsed again. Although it was not a complete collapse, there were indeed more or less problems with the weights and measures in various places. The reason for these problems, after Jia Xu kicked Lu Xun and Lu Yu out for a visit, the above people knew the crux of the problem, which can be regarded as greed and problems left over from history. "In addition to these problems, there are other problems. After standardizing weights and measures, it will also save people below from harming the people by fighting big and small, long and short." Liu Bei said with a sneer, "Officials who dare to do such things , I think you know a lot about it. Although this method is not very serious, it is better to avoid it. " Cao Cao nodded. Both the ruler and the bucket have a tendency to become larger over time. The reason is. It's very simple. When handing over a bucket of grain, a small bucket is best for the people, but if the official bucket is larger, they can exploit more. Suppose one person pays tax per dou, and the big dou is one liter larger than the small dou, then a county can collect hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of liters more grain, and no one will cause trouble. "But this kind of thing is very uncomfortable for Liu Bei. You bastards don't want to live if you exploit the people. Although if you think about it carefully, this method is not excessive, but Liu Bei is still very unhappy. Even some officials will engage in big fights not because of greed for a small amount of food, but for political achievements. After all, the amount of food tax revenue in agricultural society is a very important assessment for officials. The more tax revenue, it shows that you are good at local management. The better. So it¡¯s easy to use a big fight or something. For unscrupulous creatures like officials, what can¡¯t be done with this kind of thing? After all, it¡¯s about climbing up on your own, it¡¯s an easy thing! Naturally, after understanding this, Liu Bei also felt liver pain. I really want to increase taxes. The problem is that the way I want to increase taxes is to increase the grain output of your counties and increase the number of acres of land cleared, not you. This sneaky tax rate increase. With this mentality, the purpose of Liu Bei's approval of weights and measures was directly to strangle those sneaky bastards to death and lessen the trouble for the people! In fact, Chen Xi did not tell Liu Bei that the core part of the standardization of weights and measures is not the current ones. Although these are also important now, compared with the foundation of future industrialization, they are inferior in terms of significance and other aspects. Quite far. Although the reality of this world is that it is destined to only follow the path of heaven and earth essence. But the foundation of industrialization is not its source of power, but social production changes. Standardized weights and measures will relatively make this road easier to walk when someone touches it after productivity is reached in the future. Anyway, Chen Xi generally knows how much foundation is needed to develop industrialization. With the current number of craftsmen, wake up, the number of basic skilled workers is not enough. What¡¯s more, what kind of price does industrialization need to pay? To be honest, Chen Xi is really a little entangled. Before the overall food problem of society can be solved, rashly promoting industrialization will only lead to the collapse of the small peasant economy of the Han Dynasty, where men farmed and women weaved. Chen Xi really wanted to say something, I have been working hard to increase the number of homesteaders. From the beginning until Yuan Shu burned the land deed documents, he was trying to increase the number of homesteaders. As a result, he started industrialization. First, I will collapse the economic system of the homesteaders, so that The people can only eat dirt and become refugees. From a true historical perspective, only when the existing social system of the people is overwhelmed will they be forced to enter factories, which will accelerate the speed of industrialization and destroy the existing social system faster. Finally, after large-scale social changes, industrial society will Crush the agricultural society and enter the era of industrialization. Chen Xi¡¯s heart aches just thinking about how many people will die in this process. Basically, all countries in history have to go through this path of industrialization, which can be called a road paved with bones. What¡¯s more, Chen Xi is very clear about how many people will be pushed directly into the abyss by large-scale social changes, not to mention that ordinary people at the bottom who have lost their ability to survive are forced to revolt and form turmoil, which will collapse the entire social order and eventually overthrow this era. To put it simply, in the current situation, as long as you don¡¯t seek death, you are destined to move forward steadily and reach the top of the world. Chen Xi¡¯s conservative character?It is destined that he cannot accept the more radical plan. After all, the plans that Chen Xi is currently implementing are considered radical by people of this era. If he switches to a plan that Chen Xi thinks is radical and he is not sure yet, wouldn't he be seeking death? What¡¯s more, there are no other solutions in theory, although they are a bit empty. That is another kind of social change that exists in theory, the possibility of entering industrialization, but based on Chen Xi¡¯s observation of history, this theoretical possibility seems to only remain theoretical. Because this theory is really empty, it will not wait until society develops on its own, and the people generally have time to improve themselves, and reach a moderate and universal education level by themselves in the agricultural era. Then, mechanization is not aimed at increasing production capacity, but at reducing the burden on human beings. For the purpose of self-promotion, machine tools have been widely popularized, and the off-the-job population has reached the lower limit of industrialization in agricultural society. If the former type of industrialization is the development of capital forcing social reform, vested interests do not care about the lower class people, and a large number of deaths will inevitably occur; then the latter type is a natural change that occurs when the current social productivity reaches its limit and is a natural change. Even if the latter type of production capacity explodes due to the popularization of mechanization, it will not drive out non-mechanized similar industries. When society has developed to that point, ordinary families already have a certain ability to resist risks. It will not be like the small-scale peasant economy, where any natural disaster will knock off one of the economic pillars and the whole family will have to become a refugee. Even if the latter is directly affected by mechanization, they still have time and energy to think about how to deal with it. This is the theoretical way of industrialization. However, no agricultural society has developed to the extent of naturally transforming into an industrial society, because theoretically, the off-the-job population in an agricultural society will never reach the lower limit of the off-the-job population for spontaneous industrial change! If an agricultural society can support one unemployed person with two people, and the Han Dynasty has a population of 47 million, 16 million people can be idle and the country can operate smoothly, then it will be considered industrialization, and at most it will be freed from labor. More production capacity without any hassle. The problem is that Chen Xi is almost in trouble now. The number of people who are out of work has almost reached the limit of farming civilization, and even then the number of people who are out of work is less than 7%. To put it too far, in the era of industrialization, this data can be reversed and work. Seven percent of the people farming can feed the remaining 93% of the population. The problem is that if this is really done, what will happen to the Han Dynasty? Are there so many places that require so much manpower? How is it possible? After industrialization crushes these unlucky children, their handicrafts and agriculture will no longer be able to save themselves. In a short period of time, tens of millions of people who have no jobs and no livelihood will definitely Get into chaos. At this level of the country, once the people are chaotic because of their livelihood, you have ten from Chen Xi and ten. The people can't eat meals. Therefore, regarding the path that must be taken in the future, Chen Xi can only silently leave a seed behind, leaving behind as many people as possible who are out of work and can touch the bottom line of industrialization. After all, theoretically speaking, the greater the proportion of unemployed people, the lower the risk of industrialization and social change will be. Anyway, it is unlikely that Chen Xi will continue to increase the proportion of unemployed people. In the future, he can only wait for the popularization of similar means of production such as individual machine tools and the basis of industrialization, and gradually increase the number of unemployed people. In Chen Xi's words, this pot is too big to play with. Something might happen to me. Forget it. Anyway, we are already the strongest. It doesn't matter how strong we are. I will bury the seeds and wait until the day comes. , it will just take root and sprout naturally. Chen Xi's character is destined to make it impossible for him to carry out social changes that are so dangerous that they may affect himself before the end of the road. He seeks stability more and has no absolute certainty. He will not do something that is considered complete for this country. It's just the icing on the cake. Constrained by both reason and sensibility, Chen Xi will work hard to eliminate the shortcomings that really affect the development of this era based on the background of his own era, and lead the Han Empire to a more correct path, but he wants Chen Xi to take a risk In the future, Chen Xi will only take action unless the Han Empire reaches the point where it cannot survive without reform. Chen Xi is not stupid. As a reformer, without his ability to maintain balance, grant sufficient benefits to all parties, coordinate the interests of the upper and lower levels, and ensure that the interests of all classes do not suffer fundamental losses, reformers will die sooner or later. Chen Xi can achieve this level not because Chen Xi is powerful, but because Chen Xi is cautious, controls the influence, and has enough reference. If industrialization fails, Chen Xi may need to risk his own life, and he may not be able to achieve what he wants. result. Even screwed up, maybe even he hadEverything that may have been left to this nation will collapse, and we will move steadily towards invincibility. If we fight steadily, we will arrive sooner or later, so why bother to die?
