Da Qin: The First Emperor was reborn and made me the crown prince at the beginning

Daqin's No. 1 shipyard is under rapid construction.

On the other hand, Yingchen's weekly sign-in this time has signed in another good thing.

Jenny Spinning Machine!

The importance of this thing can be said to be a time-changing existence.

Because there is a very classic evaluation of the Jenny spinning machine in history - the invention of the Jenny spinning machine was the beginning of the first industrial revolution.

This evaluation is extremely important.

In terms of the division of human civilization, it includes the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the Industrial Age, and the Electronic Information Age.

Among them, the difference between the Industrial Age and the Iron Age is enough to reach the point of world difference.

Because in the first three eras, no matter how they changed, the foundation of productivity still lies in manpower.

Whether it is stone, bronze or iron, the most important thing is to rely on manpower to use and develop.

For example, when Yingzheng built the Great Wall, countless people were needed to carry the body on their shoulders, and then remove a load of stone and soil.

This kind of thing, the destruction and torture of people, is incomprehensible to modern people.

Think about the hundreds of pounds of East 20 West has been carried on your shoulders, day and night, in this case, how long can people last.

In the industrial age, with the invention of machines, human beings slowly transitioned from manpower-based to machine-based eras.

With the invention of the steam engine, people were able to use machines and easily mobilize thousands of tons of things.

In this way, the release of manpower is unprecedented.

So, if you look closely at the average life expectancy of human beings, you can get it.

In our case, in general, the assessed life expectancy is thirty-five years.

And even in the heyday of all dynasties, this standard can only be raised to the standard of no more than forty-five years old.

Some people have doubts, don't those heroes and generals in history and even emperors live for a long time.

That's a good point.

But think about it carefully, what kind of life these princes and nobles lived, and what kind of life those ordinary people lived.

And even so, basically many emperors in history have an average life expectancy between forty and fifty years old.

But all of this, in the industrial age, has changed.

The advent of the industrial age has greatly increased the life expectancy of human beings.

After the end of the first industrial revolution, the average life expectancy of human beings increased to more than five people.

After the end of the Second Industrial Revolution, the average life expectancy of human beings increased to more than 60 years.

And now, in those developed countries and large countries, the average life expectancy has reached or exceeded 70 years.

From this point of view, the advent of the industrial age has made a huge contribution to mankind, you can imagine.

Historically, the beginning of the Industrial Revolution was placed on the Jenny spinning machine.

Actually, here's what I'm going to say.

Before the Jenny spinning machine, people had already invented the weaving tool "shuttle".

The weaving speed of the shuttle is far more efficient than the previous weaving tools.

And after the appearance of Jenny's spinning machine, it reached the point of extreme horror.

Because Jenny's spinning machine has 8 times more spinning capacity than the old spinning wheel!

This kind of era-breaking increase in the level of productivity is enough to explain everything about the transformation and contribution of human society.

Thinking about the Quyuan plow created by Yingchen before, it only improved the efficiency of cultivated land by one to two times, and it had already made the development of Daqin vigorous to the extreme.

And now, Jenny's spinning machine is eight times more efficient!

Again, in ancient times, cloth had the same properties as the general equivalent of silver.

In other words, in ancient times, cloth was actually money.

For example, in the New Year's coins given by the Song Dynasty to the Liao Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, cloth appeared. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

For example, Song Zhenzong negotiated peace with Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Dynasty, and gave the price of 200,000 horses of silk and 100,000 taels of silver to the Liao Dynasty every year.

The silk in this mainly refers to silk cloth.

And from here, it can also be seen that for the northern steppe regime, the demand for silk cloth may be higher than silver.

After all, in the northern grasslands, when it comes to winter, it is really cold.

Therefore, the appearance of Jenny's spinning machine now means that Daqin can suddenly have at least ten times more cloth.

This can be regarded as creating ten times the wealth of Great Qin out of thin air.

After all, the Jenny spinning machine was eight times more efficient for the British Empire in the seventeenth century.

And the British Empire in the seventeenth century, in terms of productivity, was naturally far above the Great Qin.

So now it's basically fair to say.

Jenny spinning machine equals money printing machine!

Of course, scarcity is expensive, and with the increasing number of silk cloth on the market, the price of this silk cloth is definitely going to fall.

But in any case, for Great Qin, this is an invention that is enough to change history.

Of course, now since this spinning machine is from Yingchen's hands, it will definitely not be called Jenny spinning machine.

Yingchen thought about it carefully, and simply named it according to his era name.

Since then, this Jenny spinning machine has been called Tianwu Spinning 907 Machine.

However, this name has caused many people to complain in later generations.

After all, the name Tianwu gives people the first impression that it has the meaning of being powerful and strong, sweeping all directions.

And the spinning industry, basically mainly women are involved.

In this way, Tianwu spinning machine has a particularly strange sense of contrast for no reason.

However, the name is one thing, and the main thing is more.

With the creation of this Tianwu spinning machine by Yingchen, the power and status of women in Daqin began to improve in an enlightening way.

After all, from ancient times to the present, between men and women, whoever has the initiative in the productive forces will be able to have more right to speak.

Don't talk about social things, just talk about being in a family.

Husband and wife, who earns more money, naturally the other party has more right to speak.

This is the most simple annotation that the economic base determines the superstructure.

However, the emergence of the Tianwu spinning machine directly made those women who could only weave at home have the qualifications to participate in social labor and participate in the social division of labor.

Since they have the ability to make money, the status of women will naturally improve.

This kind of thing is not subject to human will.
