The Peach Blossom Luck of Rebirth

Chapter 1059 The Imperative Innovation

Among the seven countries, the Lu country has a tax of [-], which is due to Gao Shuang's pilot reform of the economic system.

In order to vigorously develop commerce, Gao Shuang stopped collecting it at all later. The taxation of the entire country mainly relies on foreign trade exports, such as grain exports to Suiguo and other countries, and cloth exports to neighboring countries.

Gao Shuang's various commercial measures have greatly reversed and improved the status and value of businessmen in a society that has long emphasized agriculture and suppressed business.

Since then, merchants have been able to do business freely, which has better activated the economy of the Dalu Empire.

The large amount of grain and cloth produced by Lu State was transported to other six countries through more and more merchants from various places, and it continued to extend outward and resell to further countries, such as Di State or the Jingtian Dynasty.

Due to the promulgation and implementation of the above several decrees, the seven countries under the jurisdiction of the Dalu Empire are in full swing, and it is really a sunny day!

The fields in various countries are busy with farming, and the enthusiasm of farmers to reclaim wasteland is high.

Agricultural tools such as metal plows and rakes need to be mass-produced to meet the needs of the people of the Seven Kingdoms, but metallurgical technology is relatively backward.

Among them, bronze smelting was still being carried out in six countries, namely Rongguo, Ganguo, Suiguo, Fanguo, Chengguo, and Yinguo.

Copper is less tough than iron and is easy to break. These ancient copper farm tools can no longer meet the needs of agricultural production of the people of the Seven Kingdoms, seriously restricting the further improvement of agricultural productivity.

In particular, the people of the Seven Kingdoms opened up wasteland and reclaimed land with poor soil. When reclaiming wasteland in the hills and mountains, the copper farm tools could not stand the toss. Often, more than a dozen pairs of plows were used up to reclaim an acre of wasteland.

These situations were naturally reflected before Gao Shuang's case. Gao Shuang looked at the production situation submitted by the seven kings and princes. The land reclamation was hindered and the slow progress was caused by backward farm tools.

So immediately convened a group of ministers to discuss to further improve the production technology.

On the Golden Luan Palace of the Dalu Empire, Wen Yuhuaji first spoke:

"Your Majesty! This copper smelting method is the method left by our ancestors, and the method of the ancestors cannot be changed!" Wen Yuhuaji is a conservative minister, and he is often the first to oppose reforms.

As soon as Wenyu Huaji said it, other conservative ministers also echoed and said: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty Wenyu is right! We cannot change this copper smelting technology! Our ancestors have lived like this for generations!"

Gao Shuang thought it was ridiculous. As a reborn person, he knew that the modern steel-making technology was far more advanced than the ancient copper-smelting method. It had to be reformed!
Only reform and technological innovation can improve productivity.

Technology is the primary productive force.

Gao Shuang deliberately remained calm, and said to the other princes and ministers: "Everyone, dear friends, if you have any high-level opinions, please come up with them one by one! I will work together and brainstorm!"

Gao Shuang is an open-minded emperor. He knows that listening will lead to enlightenment, and partial belief will lead to darkness.
