The first lady is sweet and sweet

Chapter 467 Jin Gui (two more)
For ancient countries, lasting stability is much more reliable than technological innovation.

And in their eyes, the fundamentals of the world have never changed.

Almost all ancient civilizations believed that the world was in some kind of stagnation or cycle until the mythical end.

The Chinese saw the cycle of dynasties, the ancient Egyptians saw the re-enactment of myths, the Japanese believed that the empire would last forever, and the Iranians believed that the struggle would never end.

Therefore, when new technologies appeared on the horizon with the power to influence distribution and transform social relations, the ancients must have been vigilant.

The rulers fear losing power, and the ruled fears that life will be worse.

Seeking truth from facts, it was not only the rulers who feared technological progress in ancient society, but the masses as well.

Qi Yaoyao rubbed her chin and looked at Shen Zhouheng intently.

Shen Zhouheng was stared at by his wife, "Yaoyao, what are you looking at?"

"Don't talk, let me figure it out for 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 starvation, hunger has penetrated into the bone marrow, no matter when they have food in their hands, don't panic, and save some food to feel safe.

As long as we can improve agricultural efficiency, we will do it. Manure technology and rotational farming technology will be promoted, and we will not hesitate to force it.

Rebellion is because of hunger.

But the hunger for food also brings another result, if the efficiency can not be quickly improved, then the technology will be difficult to accept.

However, technology is not achieved overnight, and requires investment in human, material and financial resources.

This requires the determination of the ruling class, so that the ruling class can live comfortably, not worry about food and clothing, and have people who can be enslaved.

It is not so urgent to need technology to improve efficiency, so naturally it does not care.

Qi Yaoyao looked back at him with warm eyes and said again, "It's not your fault. From ancient times to the present, the argument has been that all things are inferior, only those who study well, who are good in their studies will become an official! A career is the right way."

"And those who play these tricks and tricks are frustrated in the officialdom who are excluded from the right path, and rich people who are underappreciated." Qi Yaoyao looked at him with cold eyes and said, "The official-based country has a normal thinking. After all, who doesn't want to be drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman, wake up and take control of the world."

Shen Zhou's amber pupils looked at her and corrected her earnestly, "No, no! This is what Huo Qubing said: Drunk on the knees of a beauty, awake to hold a murdering sword, not asking for Lianchengbi, but asking for a murdering sword, the Huns are still alive, What a home."

"It's okay to extend it!" Qi Yaoyao gave him an angry look, and looked at him with eyes full of interest and said, "This is not what a man dreams of."

"It seems that what I said is wrong." Shen Zhouheng said honestly, "I understand your thinking, but to change this kind of thinking, you must have strong financial backing, otherwise who will play with you! Wait for a drink! Northwest wind!" He smiled and said, "You must cultivate this kind of inquisitive thinking, and you need to ask a lot about why?"

"Hmm!" Qi Yaoyao looked at him happily and nodded.

Shen Zhou rubbed his son's small bald head, "Son, it seems that to satisfy your mother's ingenious skills, Dad will make more money!"

"Idiot." Qi Yaoyao shot him a sideways glance.

"Why are you scolding me?" Shen Zhouheng said innocently, blinking his eyes at her.

"Strange skills are ingenious. If you use them in production and life, you will have a steady stream of money." Qi Yaoyao looked at him with bright eyes and said.

"Yeah!" Shen Zhou pointed to his head and said, "I have to change my thinking here too."

Oops, I got a mother, and I finally persuaded this old antique.It's not easy!Brain cells don't know how many are dead.

"Aren't you in a hurry about that loom?" Qi Yaoyao looked at him with dark eyes.

"Why aren't you in a hurry again?" Shen Zhou looked at her puzzled and said.

"Isn't it good to improve efficiency? If you are a woman like mother before, you don't have to weave cloth day and night. It will boil people down." Shen Zhou's amber pupils looked at her and said worriedly.

"I know, but..." Qi Yaoyao scratched her head and said, her mouth opening and closing, "What should I say? I'm afraid you won't understand."

"If you don't say it, why can't I understand it?" Shen Zhouheng looked at her amusingly and said, "Tell me about it."

"Know Guan Zhong, Guan Zi!" Qi Yaoyao said as she looked at him with her deep and clear eyes.

"I know, Guan Zhong, a famous person in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, destroyed Lu with just one piece of clothing: Lu and Qi were neighbors, so they had frequent rash exchanges. Produced several kinds of very thin and white cloth called Lu Zhan. This kind of cloth is famous for its thinness, and he earned a lot of money from the Lu country. In order to contain the Lu country, Guan Zhong established Duke Huan of Qi and his ministers to take the lead and specially wear them. Clothes made by Lu Yu soon became a trend among the people to wear Lu Yu clothes. At this time, Guan Zhong directly ordered that all the people of Qi State should not weave cloth, and all the fabrics of Qi State should be bought from Lu State. .

For a time, the supply of Lugu was in short supply, and the price naturally went up. After going back and forth, the people of Lu found that the profit of weaving was high!It was much more cost-effective than farming, so he voluntarily gave up farming and set off a wave of weaving in Lu.

Guan Zhong added another fire. All Lu merchants who supply Qi to the state can get three hundred gold rewards for every thousand batches, and three thousand gold for [-] horses.For a time, there was a phenomenon in the state of Lu. Every household was busy with weaving.

Under such circumstances, no one is farming at all, and the fertile land has become wasteland. "

"Uh..." Shen Zhouheng said simply and roughly the next Guan Zhongxie Lu, and blinked his delicate peach 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 for profit. It will cause famine." Shen Zhouheng looked at her with deep eyes and said.

"Mmmm!" Qi Yaoyao nodded fiercely, with a smile on the corners of her eyes and brows, it's not easy to have someone who understands you in this world.

Knowing each other is even more rare!

"Then I'll study it first, and then take it out when the time is right." Shen Zhou said softly as he looked at her with his warm eyes.

"Yeah! Research also takes time." Qi Yaoyao looked at him warmly and said with her dark jade-like eyes.

"Speaking of which, does anyone really destroy the fields to grow cotton?" Shen Zhouheng shook his head slightly and still didn't quite believe it, "Don't you know how precious food is? In times of famine, you may not be able to buy it with gold."
