Datang: At the beginning, Princess Wencheng was robbed

Chapter 321 It's been 600 years, and no outsider has ever come to us
In fact, the steamship of Datang did not start today.

But as early as a year ago, Datang's steamship had already set off. On the way, they passed through Wu Zhou, and then went all the way south, and then arrived at the northern port of Chanming State.

But since there is no gate at the northern port, the officials stationed at the northern port had no choice but to send someone to take them all the way south along the east coast of the mainland.

It wasn't until they arrived at Cicada State that they reported the news to Honglu Temple.

If you say that these crew members are not excited, you must be false.

After all, this is the first voyage for each of them.

Along the way, we saw many different customs, customs, and specialties.

Although these are not completely absent in Datang.

But seeing the place of origin, it still can't help but make people feel fresh.

and……

Local products that were ridiculously expensive in the Tang Dynasty are surprisingly cheap in this place of origin.

It is conceivable how much wealth the Great Wei has plundered from the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions in the past 600 years.

Great Wei is rich, even the palaces are inlaid with gold, and the pillars are even inlaid with flying dragons. This is not because Great Wei did this for appearance, but because he really has this strength.

Maybe even to others, these are just trivial matters.

Over the past 600 years, some people have said that [-]% of the world's wealth belongs to Great Wei, the last [-]% is owned by the Great Tang, and the rest accounted for the other half.

It is really because the country of Great Wei is different from those traditional countries in history books.

It is a country in which the emperor controls commerce, supplemented by agricultural taxation.

therefore……

In this country, as long as the emperor himself is not selfish, the common people can generally live a good life.

If you want to compare the people of the Wei Dynasty with the people of the Tang Dynasty.

That is, people of the same status in the Wei Dynasty must wear better clothes than those in the Tang Dynasty, and their food will be more exquisite.

of course!

This situation gradually became not so good as the Wei emperors and their ministers became greedy from generation to generation over the past 600 years.

Moreover, Datang did not stand still for 600 years.

They have used the steam engine in all walks of life, there is just one problem.

The more advanced this technology is, the more conflicts there will be in Datang.

and……

The situation of buying and selling people in Datang has also become more common.

There are hundreds of servants in the homes of some wealthy people.

There is no way, the convenience brought by technology has naturally brought less demand for the population.

Moreover, the convenience of science and technology has also accelerated the merger of land and the concentration of land property.

Therefore, many people have been acquired the land in their hands in a reasonable or unreasonable way.

And they need to survive, so what should they do?
It can only be a slave and a handmaiden.

but in the meanwhile……

You also have to admit it.

Although there are more slaves and handmaids, the efficiency of this grain cultivation has been improved unprecedentedly.

now……

Even though many people have become slaves, they can still be supported by aristocratic families.

only……

It is always difficult for these slaves and handmaids to gain dignity. In addition, everyone wants to continue to expand production and continue to merge. Naturally, social conflicts are getting bigger and bigger.

Ok!

The emperors of the Tang Dynasty also knew the horror of technology from the beginning.

therefore……

At present, most of the steam engines that appear among the people and outside the palace are specially rewarded by the emperor.

Otherwise, once this restriction is relaxed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

For this reason, some people oppose research technology.

Because with the appearance of such a machine, will all the people lose their land in the future and end up as slaves?
can only say……

This is very likely.

Anyway...

If you make the people unable to live, the people will make it impossible for you to live.

In fact...

Datang also has debates about whether this thing is good or bad.

only……

There are generally not many people with such brains.

They also gave an example, saying that even the Great Wei did not have such a thing.

Think about why Emperor Taizu of the Wei Dynasty only made steam locomotives and only used them for transportation.

Now, steam engine farming has come.

Your Majesty should ban the use of steam engines for farming.

Of course, this objection will not have any impact on the research.

Because this thing is easy to use!
and……

People can't survive anymore, so they can do other things.

Shift to industries that require more labor or to service industries.

But this did not resolve the minister's initial concerns.

But that's all.

after all……

I guess I won't listen to it.

Because the benefits here are really too great.

in fact……

The transfer of people to the service industry is inevitable.

But it cannot be said that transferring to the service industry is not good, because... if it can be transferred, it means that there are still more people who can support them.

If you think about it from this point of view, it seems that Datang is no worse than Dawei now.

of course!

The Tang Dynasty still doesn’t know that the Wei Dynasty has changed its name to Huaxia.

It wasn't until the fleet landed in Chanming State this time that they found out.

The cicada state is still the same, as an 'old town', there are not a lot of people, but compared to the Dahe state, it is indeed not as active as before.

As the commander-in-chief of the fleet, as soon as he arrived in Cicada State, he ordered people to replenish the ingredients, while he was walking on this mysterious land.

Since people from Datang couldn't get here, so...

I am probably the only one who has set foot here from the sea.

"Have you heard that there are a lot of big ships coming to the beach?"

"What's the matter with us?"

"I heard it came from somewhere else."

"so what?"

"Aren't you surprised?"

"What a surprise!"

"Don't think about it, 600 years, 600 years, no outsider has ever come to our China."

"Isn't there, those foreign envoys?"

"How can those be counted! Besides, they didn't come by boat. Do you know what that means?"

"What does it mean?"

"Since they can all reach Huaxia, can Huaxia also go out! Finally they can go out!"

"Forget it! I know you have a dream of sailing, but if you, Aye, know that you are going out, you can see that he won't break your leg."

"I misjudged you! I originally thought you were a hero, but I didn't expect you were just a coward. Don't you understand yet? We and our ancestors have been trapped here for 600 years!"

After Li Song came ashore, he heard such an interesting conversation.

Not to mention, this young man's thinking is really a bit different from ordinary people.

It is probably because the Great Wei has always enforced the sea ban, and there is no way around this.

Because if you run out, the court will not be able to collect taxes.
