Chapter 1499:Water Heater Revolution

The Great Song Dynasty was established in the 960-year history of the Western calendar, by the "forced helpless" Zhao Qianmou to the usurped position.

This year is 1340!

In other words, the Great Song Dynasty has been 380 years since its founding.

Of course, the country with 380 years of long country should be the West Song, not the Dongsong of Dingdu Jiangning.

Although the Eastern Song also took Song as the national number, the official family name was also Zhao, and he was also a descendant of Zhao Guangyi.

However, the legal system of the Eastern Song Dynasty did not come entirely from the inheritance of the Zhao Song Dynasty, but mainly from the 18 states.Therefore, the Eastern Song Dynasty was actually only the leader of the country in the name of the 18 states (later turned into 50 states) after the United States was promoted by the whole country, and it was not the emperor who really spoke out about the Fa.

Although the Western Song Dynasty also experienced great changes during the Jing Kang year, and in order to survive and strengthen the loss of the ancestral system of "communion with the world with the doctor", he embarked on the road of the military hero.

However, the Jingkang transformation method of the Western Song Dynasty was carried out on the basis of the continued existence of the Great Song Dynasty, and it belonged to the old shop.The same week and the East Song Dynasty are completely different from building the system law on a blank piece of paper.

Moreover, the ancestors of Western Song were quite insufficient, and there was no access to the sea, so they could not obtain blood transfusions from the rich colonies to their own rule.

In addition, the core area of Western Song is also relatively fragmented.Unlike the big week and the core of the East Song Dynasty, the core land is connected by a whole block, and the transportation is very convenient.

The core of Xisong, Guan Long, Jing Chu, Ba Shu, the three areas of relative independence, are not close to each other.

Moreover, the West Song Dynasty is not like the big week and the East Song, and attaches great importance to the development of industry and commerce.Therefore, we must spare no effort to strengthen transportation facilities and build a unified domestic market, thereby promoting the centripetal force of various domestic sectors.

The situation in the West Song is different, because there is no outlet to the sea, the traffic between the three major local plates is extremely inconvenient, and there is also a lack of precious metals for minted currencies.

Therefore, the West Song Dynasty did not have the possibility of vigorously developing industry and commerce.During the Jingkang period, the Western Song Dynasty also took a development route in line with the national conditions of the West and Songs - heavy agriculture and suppression merchants, and made a hole.

To tell the truth, basically did a hole in the West Song is also really unlucky, met two "RMB players", bring their own new continent, almost unlimited resources and financial resources.Otherwise, the West Song is mostly another strong Qin.

Now that the West Song has met an opponent, it is naturally not a strong Qin.And the national policy of "returning agriculture and suppressing business, profiting a hole" has also reached a level of disadvantage after 200 years.

This kind of "profit a hole" road, said through is not to butter to the cannon of the road, the consumption of the whole society down, only to meet the most basic needs, and then save the social wealth are used in the military.After the development of the military, the wealth and land of other countries were seized through war, and the social wealth was used to compensate the people and nobles who used the social wealth in the military.

Therefore, in the first few decades of realizing the "profit a hole", Xisong did indeed gain many turf because he drove out the female truth, ate Dali, expelled Xili, and invaded Bagan Burma.Although these territories are not rich, they are good enough to compensate for the efforts of the country's elite in the "profit of one hole" national policy.

However, after the westward migration, the expansion of the western Song Dynasty was close to the limit.

As a result, the cost of expansion has increased dramatically, while the benefits have been less and less, so that the cost cannot be covered.

The "Great Mongol War" is a sign of the expansion policy of Western Song to the limit.

Although the army of Western Song was still very sharp, even the Mongolian army, which was not in the West, also suffered a bloody loss on the battlefields of Lebao and the Leaf River.

But victory on the battlefield has no way to convert into a real “war dividend.”

Because the cost of the Great Mongol War was too high, the value of the loot was too low to cover the cost.

In the late period of the Great Mongolian War, the third Central Plains War launched by the Western Song Dynasty once again hit the iron plate of the Eastern Song Dynasty - the advantage of the RMB player, which is unimaginable to the diaosi players.

So from the beginning of the Great Mongol War, the Western Song Dynasty entered the era of loss-making expansion.

Although it is a loss, it must also be expanded!

Because the West Song is a system that benefits a hole, if this hole does not exist, what about so many military households and gunmen in the country?They have no way out, and they can't create the opposite of the big Song official's family!

Therefore, in order to maintain the "one hole" route, the West Song had to cut each other in Central Asia with a hard scalp.In order to reduce the cost of the war, it had to allow the expansion of the king in the northwest - because far from the center, the efficiency of the town is always higher than the bureaucracy and military institutions under the Central Government.Therefore, the use of the king to wage war is the only option for the financially weak Western Song.

At the same time, the Western Song Empire had to give many economic and political privileges to the men and military families who had won little during the Great Mongol War.

And the privilege is given more, which will naturally form a pattern of the door valve monopoly rising channel!

By the time of the victory of Emperor Zhao Jun of the Western Song Dynasty, the prestige and appeal of the Western Song Dynasty were no longer as good as before.

Not only has there been signs of division in the town, but in the core territory of Western Song, there have also been many military nobles occupying large areas of land.

The land they occupied has long broken the upper limit of 3,200 acres set during the Western Song Jing Kang year, but tens of thousands of acres, hundreds of thousands of acres of occupiers, and even the military giants that occupy one million acres of fields!

Its representatives are Xiangyang Yue's (descendants of Yue Chun), Ezhou Yue's (descendants of Yue Fei), Jingmenzong (descendants of Zongze), Gang Ling Han (descendants of Han Xiaoxuan), Xiazhou Qu's (descendants of Qutan), Chang'an (descendants of the species, descendants of the seed of the seed), Feng Xiang Zhang (descendants of Zhang Jun), etc.Not only the interstate, but also the construction of private city docks (all bastions), just like a king.

The military giants that occupy hundreds of thousands of acres or even millions of acres are naturally not ordinary landowners, but true feudal lords.

If calculated in terms of income (land rent), the military gate, which covers an area of millions of acres, has at least 500,000 stone income.No need to pay taxes!

To cultivate this million acres of land, at least 30,000 feces are needed, and they are under the control of the military giants!

Such a big door, of course, are strong clans, under the family, free clans, doormen, dead people, family members, casually can pull out thousands of guns.

These military giants not only monopolize a large number of land populations, but also firmly hold the Huashan Lecture Hall, which almost turned the Huashan Lecture Hall into a private school of military famous people.

In addition, they also broke the military's rule that they were not allowed to participate in target-takers, and used high-quality wire rifles and children who had received strict training from an early age to snatch the hole that had risen from the cold door.

And in order to ensure that their children can win in the target, they also joined forces to modify the rules and increase the riding target project.This has greatly increased the threshold for target-takers...

So by the 14th century, the Western Song had lost most of its vitality and had become a dead military power.

Of course, the military power of the West Song Dynasty is still very strong!

And regardless of the state army of the Western Songs, even if the private soldiers owned by the military giants were enough to drink a pot of water in the Khanate and the Greater Mongolia.

Therefore, in the peace treaty brokered by the Holy Woman of Light, the Great Mongolia and the Golden Horde khanate stipulated that both the Great Mongolia and the Golden Horde must pay the old coins to the Western Song!

Greater Mongolia pays 400,000 a year, the Golden Horde pays 350,000 a year, and the two countries in Xixia and Polo pay 300,000 each year.

Four countries have to supply 1.35 million silver coins to Changan every year!

If the military of the Western Song is not strong, how will these four countries pay?

But the more than a million extorted from Mongolia, the Golden Account, Xixia, and the Baltic States (because of the mining of gold and silver in the New World, the purchasing power of silver can no longer be compared with 200 years ago), for the Western Song Dynasty, which is full of financial holes, it is a cup of water - because a large number of land and people are monopolized by military giants, the Western and Song Dynasty is facing a growing financial crisis.

The gap between the national strength of the whole country of Western Song and the East Song Dynasty and the big week is also becoming more and more different.

If the West Song wants to reverse the decline, I am afraid that I will only look for opportunities and fight for life!

...

The new West Song Tong knew the Privy Council, and hurried into the Chongzheng Hall of Huaqing Palace.

He is the ninth grandson of Yue Fei, who was also ambassador in Tianjin, the capital of the Great Zhou Republic, and recently transferred back to the country to raise the privy council of knowledge.

Although he was promoted, Yue Xuan was not in a good mood, because he knew that he would face the most serious situation since the Great Song moved west.

The reason for the serious situation is not the decline of the Western Song Dynasty itself, but another upheaval that is taking place in the Great Zhou Republic and the United States of the Eastern Song Dynasty.

Just when Yue Xuan was the ambassador of the Republic of Great Zhou, he saw an unimaginable device - water heater!

It sounds like a bath, but it doesn’t.This is a very magical power device, it does not use human, animal power, water, wind, but rely on coal ignition to boil hot water to generate power.So get the name of the water heater... uh, this thing is clearly another time and space steam engine!

However, this time and space invented the steam engine is not the British Watt, but the Yuntai School of Economics and Institute of scholars Wang Qi, the name of the water heater is also given by him.

So... one of the important signs of the first industrial revolution in time and space is the invention of water heaters!

Another announced the arrival of the industrial revolution is the invention of the zodiac spinning machine - the zodiac woman was a textile worker in Shanghai, she invented 180 years ago in the United States 180 years ago, a new spinning machine that can drive multiple spindles with a spinning wheel.As a result, he became the owner of the richest textile factory in Shanghai.

Now, with the invention and large-scale utilization of water heaters, the prelude to the industrial revolution has been opened!

Yue Xuan, who had just arrived in Tianjin, saw the scene of the "water heater" driving various machines, and almost felt that he had reached a magical world.

After a few years in Tianjin, he deeply felt the backwardness of the Western Song... Xisong did not have a water heater, no Huang's textile machine, and there was no factory that could be mass-produced, and only agricultural cultivation that had not changed for hundreds of years.

Oh, yes, the agriculture of Western Song is not as good as the people!

Farm tools have no advanced family, seeds are not good, water conservancy facilities are not so well-cultivated, and there is no bird droppings... So the crops in the field look malnourished, and the yield per mu is better than others.

Therefore, the people eat far less than the people of East Song and the Great Week!

On the big week, the most ordinary farmers can eat three meals a day and eat meat every day!

In the West Song, farmers eat two meals a day, and eat dry when they are busy, eat thin when they are idle, and it is rare to eat meat once a year.

There are too many living standards on both sides!

The poor people live about the same as the military aristocrats of the West Songs, and the noble capitalists of the family ... really dare not think about it.

If the West Song does not rise up again, I am afraid it will be destroyed!

And those who have this idea are more than one person.Many of the children of the Western Song nobles who studied in the Great Zhou Republic have developed the idea of change.

Western Song has reached the point of non-change!

Some of the radical aristocratic children even thought of the republican revolution.

Is the progress of the Great Zhou Republic not because of the republican revolution in the whole world?

Is the progress of the Eastern Song Dynasty not because the United People of the 50 states are public?

Only the West Song is home, and the king and the military are all over the world.

So the Eastern Song and the Great Week flew in the sky, while the Western Song climbed on the ground.

Can't go down like that!

The West must be a revolution!

In the big week for several years as a ambassador, responsible for the supervision of international students Yue Xuan, for this revolutionary trend is also very understanding.In fact, his family has the existence of a small revolutionary party, one of his sons and several brothers, nephews have stayed in the big week, after returning home, this is not used to, that is not used to, all day long to learn the week, to learn the West Song ... do not look at people bring their own new continent, there are endless resources, how to learn Xi Song?

Therefore, in Yue Xuan's view, there is only one way out of the war in the West and Song, and if you win anything, you can say it, you will be defeated... If you are defeated, wait for the revolution!

“Ethan, you’re here.”The voice of the great Song official Zhao Guan interrupted Yue Xuan's thoughts.

He had already arrived in the temple.

He worshipped, and Yue Xuan stood in the temple, waiting for Zhao Zhen to speak.

“The urgent matter of the Grand Embassy is said to be Wu Yuankai, who is the Grand Zhou Wusheng, who will enter the Komenin Dynasty of Egypt, and marry the eldest princess of Anna.”Zhao Yan paused, “Eichen, what do you think?”

“Marrying Princess Anna?”“Princess Anna is the heir to the throne of Egypt!”

Zhao Yan, a great Song official who is already in his 50s this year, nodded, “Yes, he is the heir to the throne of Egypt.”And she is only 17 years old, but her father is over sixty years old, and is said to be seriously ill and will die soon.”

“This buck will be in power!”Yue Xuan quickly made a judgment.Although Egypt has a parliament, the imperial power is strong, and if the eldest princess is young, her husband has the power.And the Wu family must have paid a considerable price for this marriage... what he did, only to be very big!”
