Chapter 176 Ye Xuan’S New Course! Ming Dynasty Under The Industrial Revolution!
Chapter 176 Ye Xuan’s new course! Ming Dynasty under the Industrial Revolution!
Main hall, school.
"Industrial Revolution?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was standing in the corridor with one hand behind his back and stroking his beard with one hand.
he wondered.
What new vocabulary did Ye Xuan come up with?
industry.
revolution.
These words are familiar, but the combination is completely incomprehensible.
What exactly does the “Industrial Revolution” mean?
Through the open window, Zhu Yuanzhang could see Ye Xuan inside the school. Ye Xuan was wearing a crimson official robe and had a scholarly temperament, which was in harmony with the atmosphere of the main hall.
"This guy said something about the empire on which the sun never sets."
"colonial ruling."
"The Armada waits."
"These things are extremely new."
"Now comes another industrial revolution."
“What is the Industrial Revolution?”
"Is it related to the hydraulic loom he made in his workshop not long ago?"
"We really came to the right place this time."
"If you don't come, I'm afraid you will miss this wonderful course."
Zhu Yuanzhang muttered to himself.
He actually wants to hear what this "industrial revolution" is.
"emperor."
"How about we go in and listen?"
The Dabentang official accompanying him saw Zhu Yuanzhang's interest and pointed to the empty seats in the school.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him lightly.
His eyes were quite cold.
This idiot.
If they go in.
What should I do if Ye Xuan is nervous and refuses to tell me?
He was unmoved.
Keep standing.
The officials of the main hall did not know how they angered Zhu Yuanzhang.
Shut up quickly.
Dare not speak anymore.
Inside the school.
"Teacher, teacher!"
“What is the Industrial Revolution?”
"Teacher, teacher!"
"What is industry?"
The princes and grandsons sitting below raised their chubby little hands and asked in childish voices.
The ignorant and childish little face is quite simple and silly.
Ye Xuan explained:
"industry"
"It is an industry or project that collects, processes and manufactures raw materials."
"It is divided into light industry and heavy industry."
"Light industry is generally an industry that makes hand tools and provides consumer goods.
"Such as beverage manufacturing, food manufacturing, paper making, sewing, textiles, etc."
“These are light industries that use agricultural products as raw materials.”
“Light industry based on non-agricultural products.”
“Medical equipment, hand tools, daily metal products, etc.
"Heavy industry refers to the industries that provide the main means of production with the material and technical basis for various sectors of the national economy."
"According to its product use and production nature, it is divided into three categories."
"Extractive Industries."
"Raw materials industry."
"Processing industries."
"Extractive industries refer to the extraction of natural resources."
"Including the mining of coal, petroleum, metal and non-metallic minerals, as well as timber harvesting, etc."
"The raw material industry refers to the industry that provides basic fuel, materials, and power to various sectors of the national economy."
"Metal smelting and processing, coal and petroleum processing, etc."
"These belong to the raw material industry."
"Processing industries refer to industries that reprocess industrial raw materials."
“For example, the machinery and equipment manufacturing industry provides agricultural production means of chemical fertilizers, agricultural and other industries, etc.
"This is industry."
Ye Xuan said a bunch of professional words, which made the group of little dumplings feel a little dizzy, and their eyes had already started to form circles.
Xiaotuanzi: So complicated...
In the school corridor.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened thoughtfully.
"INK..."
“The collection and processing of raw materials.
"Light industry, heavy industry."
"Extracting oil, metals and non-metals?"
Lots of unfamiliar vocabulary.
Ancient people also exploited oil.
The concept of "oil" was first proposed in "Mengxi Bi Tan" of the Song Dynasty.
"There is oil in the territory of Yan and Yan, and it was said in the past that Gaoxian produced fat water."
"Fat water" is oil.
"Shui Jing Zhu" also mentioned that there is a special spring in Nanshan, Yanshou County, Jiuquan.
Its water and fat are like meat juice.
Its color is yellow at first and then black.
It is shaped like gel paste.
Extremely bright when lit.
The locals call it "Shiqi".
In the Northern Song Dynasty, relatively mature excavation technology was already available.
In Yanchang County in the Northern Song Dynasty, China's first oil well appeared on the river 90 miles north of the county.
They were the world's first oil wells.
"Yuan Yi Tong Zhi" records that 110 catties need to be paid to the court every year.
Yongping Village in Yanchuan County has to pay 400 kilograms of oil.
Then there were more oil wells in the Qing Dynasty.
I won’t tell you anymore.
In ancient times, people used oil for lighting and warfare.
Northern Zhou Dynasty.
The Turkic army besieged Jiuquan.
The soldiers and civilians defending the city turned oil into improvised incendiary bombs to burn the siege equipment.
Turn danger into safety.
Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
"Fierce oil" is well known to the world.
Before being unified by the Song Dynasty, kerosene was relied upon by the separatist regime in the south.
In addition, oil "burns extremely brightly".
In Sichuan during the Ming Dynasty, oil was widely used for lighting. Officials used bamboo tubes to store fuel when traveling at night. One tube of oil could support a book's journey, and the price was cheaper than other oils...
As for metals and non-metals.
Zhu Yuanzhang can understand metal slightly.
But what are nonmetals?
Ignore these and don’t go into details.
Industry probably includes all walks of life.
It's an extremely broad term.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself.
Ye Xuan has already started talking about the next topic.
“Earlier you asked what the ‘industrial revolution’ was.
"The industrial revolution is when machines replace human power."
"Large-scale factories replaced individual manual production."
"You should also know that now we have flying shuttles, hydraulic looms and other machines in the Ming Dynasty."
"These machines have replaced the original manual work."
"Replacing manpower."
"Productivity has improved tremendously."
"However."
“The current machine productivity is not powerful enough.
"Wait until we enter the 823 steam era."
"Industrialization of the Age."
"Under this kind of industrialization, the entire Ming Dynasty will undergo earth-shaking changes!"
“The industrial revolution can make the peasant class attached to backward production methods disappear.”
"Steam engines will be widely used as power machines."
"Technological change."
"Times change."
"Human science and technology will have a huge explosion. Human beings will no longer be dependent on nature, but will transform nature so that humans can survive.
"Human survivability and quality have changed dramatically as a result."
“Natural conditions can no longer restrain humans.”
“The country can become more prosperous.”
“Machines can free up labor.”
"This is also the biggest foundation for building an empire on which the sun never sets."
Ye Xuan told all this.
The Huangsun little dumplings were immediately stunned.
Their wide, round, dark eyes were full of clarity and stupidity.
Now there is even more confusion.
Industrial Revolution?
What an awesome feeling.
Although they half understand and half don't understand, it does not prevent them from feeling that the industrial revolution is powerful.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also stunned.
His mouth opened slightly.
Industrial Revolution.
Machines replaced handicrafts.
Productivity increases.
It can transform nature and adapt to human survival.
The industrial revolution was too powerful.
horrible!
