Business economics and things like that.

Zhu Yuanzhang may not understand.

But the real cost of how much it will cost is better than anyone else.

This Hongwu Emperor has been suffering since he was a child.

The word saving money has been engraved in his bones.

Even if you become an emperor.

As long as you can save a copper plate.

Zhu Yuanzhang is also a provincial province.

Right now.

His son Zhu Biao told him.

There is a way to save money significantly.

A dragon robe can even save 2,000 taels of silver.

The allure is enormous!

Keep thinking about it.

A dragon robe can save 2,000 taels of silver.

What about the other required commodities?

Is it also possible to reduce the cost significantly by way of colonization?

It's okay not to want to.

Think about it this way.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately couldn't hold back his restless heart.

I can't wait to start the colony project immediately.

To know.

Before Qin Feng popularized the colonial empire.

Lao Zhu was not interested.

He felt it was a thankless task.

Occupy so much territory.

And it's no good.

and an expedition of laborers.

What's the picture?

Now he doesn't think that way anymore.

No wonder the imperial powers were desperately trying to develop their colonies.

It turns out that there are huge benefits.

"Isn't that right?"

Zhu Di snapped his fingers and calculated.

"Big brother, in this way, the cost of a dragon robe has only been reduced by 1,000 taels of silver, how can you say that it has been reduced by 2,000 taels of silver?"

He just heard Zhu Biao say.

The colony can reduce the cost of 1000~500 taels of silver.

A dragon robe costs 3,000 taels of silver.

The maximum cost can only be saved by 1,000 taels of silver.

"Fourth, you just calculated the cost savings of cloth and gold thread, and there is another cost that you didn't count.

"What cost?"

"Machine!"

Zhu Biao's eyes were bright.

"Didn't you say it in the video just now?"

"In this industrial revolution, we can do things that would otherwise be done by five people, but with machines, one person can do it. "

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded again and again.

"Yes, yes, we heard that. "

"Biao'er, what the hell is this machine? Why is it so powerful? Five people can do the work of one person with this thing?"14

Either Zhu Biao is a good student.

I take everything very seriously.

He can remember every word in the video clearly.

"I don't quite understand, but I think it's a tool, something like a hoe or a broom. "

Zhu Biao guessed.

Hoes, brooms?

Zhu Yuanzhang said thoughtfully: "In other words, this industrial revolution is to turn 1 hoe into 5 hoes, so it can't be used?"

He fantasized about five uses in one hoe in his mind.

Judging from his experience of farming, it seems unrealistic.

- Daqin.

"So, the prime minister means that this industrial revolution is complementary to the colonies?"

Ying Zheng listened to Li Si's explanation.

Combined with the popular science of the industrial revolution in the video.

I have an idea.

It was because the British Empire expanded its colonies that it could have more cheap raw materials and produce more goods, which could then be sold to the colonies.

It took a turn like this.

Cheap raw materials produce valuable goods.

It is possible to earn very large spreads.

"Your Majesty. "

Lees nodded.

"Please think about it, Your Majesty and you, when Great Qin had not yet completed the great cause of unification, was the situation similar to that of the British Empire?"

"The cattle, sheep and horses from our Qin country are brought to Zhao Wei and other countries to sell, or in exchange for their grain and cloth?"

"There are also fish from Qi Chu, copper from Yan Kingdom, and iron from Dahan, all of which have traded with each other. "

Ying Zheng was thoughtful.

That's not bad at all.

Originally.

Before the unification of the Qin State was completed.

There is trade between countries.

"Let's think about it again. "

Li Si continued to speak: "At that time, were the goods sold in these countries expensive?"

"And now?"

"Our Great Qin unified the six countries, and all of these countries no longer exist, and their copper, iron and grain, all of which are owned by my Great Qin, are inexhaustible, and they don't need to pay anything. "

Syllable!

Li Si didn't finish his sentence yet.

Ying Zheng excitedly shot the case.

He came to his senses!

"I see. "

Ying Zheng's face was happy.

It's as if I've learned the biggest secret in the world.

"The British Empire is actually like my Great Qin Empire, and those colonies are equivalent to the Six Kingdoms. "

"The British Empire opened up so many colonies for the purpose of the raw materials of the colonies. "

"My Great Qin dominates the six countries, and the raw materials of the other warring states are also owned by my Great Qin, and the price is also controlled by my Great Qin, so I can pay as much as I want, and it doesn't matter if I don't even pay for it. "

"That's what the British Empire did!"

He shipped a steady stream of raw materials from those colonies to the country, and the goods produced were then sold to the people of the colonies. "

"This back and forth, there is no cost, but on the contrary, you can earn high profits!"

Ying Zheng explained.

All of the people in Daqin suddenly realized.

They also see great benefits from it!

Once it became a colony.

The raw materials in those places are free to put it bluntly.

You can use it however you want.

Use as much as you want.

If a colony happens to be rich in gold, then doesn't it all belong to the British Empire?

It's a lucrative deal!

"Your Majesty, not only that, but this industrial revolution has also reduced the cost of labor a lot. "

"The machine just mentioned in the video can allow one person to complete the work that was originally done by five people, which will greatly increase efficiency, produce more goods, and make greater profits. "

Li Si woke up the dreamer with a word.

Ying Zheng listened fascinated.

Oh, yes.

Free raw material origin, coupled with efficient production, isn't that equal to gold and silver?

Great!

The man who came up with the method of colonization was a genius.

"Your Majesty, please fight! Open up overseas colonies for my Great Qin!"

Meng Tian couldn't bear it anymore and stood up directly.

"Your Majesty only needs to give your ministers 5,000 soldiers and horses, and you will definitely be able to bring tens of millions of kilometers of colonies to Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, let me go. "

"Let me go. "

“......"

Ying Zheng and Li Si sang and harmonized, and all the generals who listened to it were itchy and eager to go out immediately to conquer the colony.

That's not a colony!

That's a mountain of gold and silver!

Fools don't want it.

"Don't worry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, this matter still has to be considered in the long run. "

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "But from today on, the colony plan is my Great Qin's national policy." "

Although the generals of Great Qin were a little reluctant, they could only endure it for the time being.

Not only the Qin and Ming dynasties.

People of insight from all dynasties and generations are also keenly aware of the benefits brought by this industrial revolution.

It's just that most people haven't fully understood this thing, and they are just quietly watching.

The video continues to play.

[As the area of the British Empire's colonies continued to expand, the demand for overseas goods also increased, and domestic production could no longer meet the increasing demand. 】

[The first industrial revolution came into being.] 】

[As an emerging industry at that time, the cotton textile industry had the characteristics of fast capital turnover and was conducive to short-term profits, and was very sought after by merchants. 】

[The increase in market demand also requires an increase in output.] 】

[The cotton textile industry is divided into two links: spinning and weaving. 】

[On the eve of the Industrial Revolution, there was already an imbalance between these two links. 】

[In 1733, the invention of the shuttle made the efficiency of manual weaving far inferior to that of the loom. 】

As the voice in the video sounds.

The structure and application method of the shuttle also appear in the lens.

Ancient people with a keen sense of smell recorded this thing.

Ying Zheng: "Prime Minister, quickly, write this thing down, it may be useful." "

Liu Che: "Sang Hongyang, quickly call him over to see me!"

Liu Bei: "Strategist, I have full authority to ask you for this matter." "

...... (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The video then plays.

[In 1764, the Jenny loom was officially introduced, and the Jenny spinning machine increased the spinning efficiency by 4 times, but the Jenny machine had a fatal weakness, the spinning thread was very brittle and easy to break. 】

[Later, a water-powered loom appeared, but the thread spun by this loom was too thick. 】

[It was not until the end that a machine was invented that combined the two advantages, which solved the problem of weaving. 】

[The efficiency of spinning and weaving has gone up, and the output of raw cotton has not kept up, so many other machines have been invented. 】

In the video.

In the process of explaining.

The various machines invented by the British Empire during the first industrial revolution also appear in great detail in the video.

The ancients also recorded these things.

[However, most of these machines are human or water conservancy, and their production efficiency is affected by this unstable factor, which cannot be called the industrial revolution in the true sense.] 】

[Until 1984, a craftsman named Watt invented the Watt steam engine, marking the official beginning of the first industrial revolution!]

[The steam engine is the first truly controllable power in human history, which also marks the official entry of mankind into the steam age. 】

[The advent of the Watt steam engine has greatly increased the efficiency and also led to a great increase in the demand for the steam engine. 】

[And the coal and iron needed to make the Watt steam engine have become the hottest raw materials. 】

[In the colonies of the British Empire, there are coal and iron raw materials in many places, and the British Empire has continuously transported these raw materials from the colonies back to China to speed up the manufacture and improvement of the Watt steam engine. 】

[With the improvement and perfection of the steam engine, it has gradually been used in more places besides the textile machine, such as steam trains, steam ships and other means of transportation, which can run all over the place without manpower, which greatly improves the efficiency. 】

Accompanied by video commentary.

The structural principle of the steam engine.

There are also a series of machines with steam engines as the core, such as steam trains and steamships, all of which also appear in the lens.

And through this video. []

The ancients have finally revealed the true secret of the gap between them and the present!

- Three Kingdoms.

"Lord, I understand!"

Zhuge Liang put down the goose feather fan with a snap, and was rarely a little excited.

He has just passed the steam engine in this video, combined with his attainments in the wooden ox and flowing horse and other mechanisms, and finally understood the true meaning of this video.

"Strategist, what do you understand?"

Liu Bei still had a confused expression.

He is an expert at leading troops to war.

As for what machines are not machines and principles are not principled, he feels that his head is big when he listens to it.

"This steam engine will be the lifeblood of the lord's luck!"

Zhuge Liang's words.

Instantly made Liu Bei's pupils shrink.

The Manchu civil and military forces in the Shu Han camp also opened their mouths wide.

As for it?

It's nothing but an ordinary video.

How is it the lifeblood of luck?

That's an exaggeration.

"Strategist, tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Liu Bei unconditionally believed in Zhuge Liang.

Since Qin Feng finished popularizing the Wuhou Temple.

Liu Bei couldn't wait to be a hand-shaker emperor directly, and give all government affairs to Zhuge Liang to handle.

None of them.

Trust only.

"If my guess is correct, this so-called steam engine is actually a kind of power, or a kind of energy. "

Zhuge Liang is also an ancient man after all.

Even if he's incredibly smart.

Nor can it break through the limitations of the times.

Time.

I don't know how to express the term "kinetic energy".

Just explain it in the most easy-to-understand way.

"Strength, what power?"

As soon as he heard the power, Zhang Fei came to his senses.

Could it be that this steam engine is a great and infinite tiger general?

That Zhang Fei is going to have a good fight with him.

Zhuge Liang shook the goose feather fan.

Unhurriedly explained.

933 "This power is a special kind of being, which does not belong to any one person, but is a force that exists naturally. "

"Lord, gentlemen, let me show you a demonstration. "

Zhuge Liang asked someone to bring a charcoal basin, and a copper kettle was hung on it.

Soon.

The water in the copper kettle boiled, and the lid of the copper kettle kept turning up.

"Do you understand?"

Zhuge Liang asked.

Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others all shook their heads in unison.

“......"

Zhuge Liang was speechless for a while.

The steam engine described in the video is actually this power. "

"You see, we didn't move, but by the surge of this hot air current, we could almost open the lid of the kettle. "

"This force to open the lid is the principle of the steam engine in the video. "

The hall was silent.

The crowd still didn't quite understand what it meant.

"Strategist, can you put it more simply?"

Liu Bei scratched his head embarrassedly.

What airflow, hot water.

It seems that I understand it, but I don't seem to understand it.

"Lord, don't you always say that it is very difficult to transport grain from Chengdu to Hanzhong, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources?"

"As long as we have this steam engine, we don't need so many manpower and material resources, and we need only 100 people to transport the grain that supports a year from Chengdu to Hanzhong!"

"That's the terrible thing about the steam engine. "

What the!?

Liu Bei stood up suddenly.

It's so important to him!

Hanzhong and Jingzhou are his most important gateways.

Especially Hanzhong.

The distance to Chang'an is very close.

Cao Cao could easily lead troops from the Central Plains to attack Hanzhong.

If that's the case.

Liu Bei had to transport grain and grass from Chengdu to Hanzhong for defense.

However, the distance between Chengdu and Hanzhong is long, and the road is very difficult, and each time the grain is transported, it needs to consume huge manpower and material resources.

And the amount of loss on the way is huge.

Transporting 100 catties of grain, it is already thankful that there are still 50 catties of grain left in Hanzhong.

It is these factors that make Liu Bei miserable.

If there really is a way to make it easier to transport grain from Chengdu to Hanzhong, it can indeed change his fate!

So.

There is no need for him to go north from Jingzhou, but he can condescend from Hanzhong, take Luoyang, Chang'an, enter the Central Plains, and once again have a decisive battle in the Central Plains with Cao Cao!

Come to think of it.

Liu Bei's heart couldn't help but boil.

"Strategist, tell me quickly, how do you do it?"

"It's very simple, as long as you use a steam engine to build a steam train, you can completely avoid the trouble of manpower, and you can achieve it by using this machine of popular science in later generations. "

Zhuge Liang was eager to try.

The steam engine in this video is so important.

He had to try to see if he could use these principles to create a steam train.

"Okay! This matter is handed over to the military advisor to handle it with full authority, and I Liu Bei fully supports it!"

Liu Bei immediately made a decision.

Meanwhile.

The ancients of all dynasties and generations are also in action.
