Many people thought that the Industrial Revolution was just a matter of steam engines, and that as long as the steam engine was invented, the first Industrial Revolution could be successfully completed.
Actually it is wrong.
The first industrial revolution in real history took more than 80 years from its inception to completion.
Moreover, this was only possible after hundreds of years of colonial accumulation in the West, coupled with significant improvements in technology, basic education and productivity.
The real problem with the Industrial Revolution is that the basic knowledge cannot be fully mastered by modern people. For example, if a person knows the principles of steelmaking, does he know how to make steel in industry?
Even if you work in a steel mill and know everything about steelmaking, do you also understand how various catalysts and other things in the steelmaking process are produced?
Then the next step is how to produce steel into various tools, such as mining tools, and how to dig very deep mines without collapsing, do you know?
Most high school students now understand the principles of early steam locomotives, but designing a train takes more than one or two years, and there are also issues such as machining accuracy.
The second is a more serious problem. The Industrial Revolution was actually built on the basis of agricultural development.
Otherwise, if there weren't so many people farming, people would starve to death due to insufficient production. Don't think that it would be feasible to travel back to an era like the Three Kingdoms to vigorously develop commercial industry. Where would there be so much idle labor?
So what were the conditions for the emergence of capitalism?
It is because of the development of agriculture that more idle people have nothing to do, so industry can be developed. Therefore, when traveling back to the dynasties before the Song Dynasty, the first thing to do is not to develop industry, but to develop agriculture first.
The Song Dynasty had barely met the standard. It had a population of 100 million and had just completed the agricultural revolution. Due to serious land annexation, there was a large amount of idle labor, which allowed the emergence of capital.
But that's all.
The result of lacking martial virtue is that even if you want to go out and get some gold and silver mines, you have to do it secretly.
The internal situation was also extremely unstable, with rebellions and uprisings continuing.
The scholar-official class is both conservative and a group of interest groups. When a time traveler finally arrives, these people still want to assimilate him. This shows how difficult it is to reform.
Purgatory difficulty is just like this.
Therefore, Zhao Jun did not expect to achieve success overnight from the beginning. Instead, he set a long-term goal, and would consider it a success if he could complete the first industrial revolution within a hundred years.
Then, in the remaining hundreds of years, the second and third industrial revolutions gradually accumulated, forming a global accumulation of technological advantages, thus becoming a pole in the East and forming an all-round crushing situation on the entire world.
It has to be said that Zhao Jun was still very calm. He did not aim too high, but instead took a bird's-eye view and formulated a plan that was in line with the national conditions of the Song Dynasty.
The plan was approved by everyone.
Although it was a pity that the Song Dynasty could not be turned into a powerful country immediately, Zhao Jun was right. One cannot get fat in one bite. It was not easy to formulate a long-term and feasible plan, let alone implement it immediately.
There are still many difficulties ahead and we have a long way to go.
The meeting ended at the end of the evening, which was seven o'clock in the evening. There were still nine hours before tomorrow's morning court session, so everyone dispersed and went back to rest early.
Others either left from Gongchen Gate or returned from Donghua Gate. Zhao Jun lived outside Xihua Gate, so Zhao Zhen sent him out from the Yanfu Palace corridor.
In the early Song Dynasty, Yanfu Palace was a place for the emperor to rest and play. Next to it was the Longtu Pavilion, Tianzhang Pavilion, and Baowen Pavilion, separated by a wall. To the north was the back garden, connected by a palace gate.
Towards the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Huizong of Song disliked the old Yanfu Palace as being too small, so he built the new Yanfu Palace at Gongchen Gate.
But at this time, Yeonbok Palace had not yet been expanded. As night fell, several palaces stood alone within the city wall on the west side of the imperial city. Outside the palaces, there were towering trees and bushes on both sides of the corridors. It was late autumn, and the autumn wind blew, sending fallen leaves flying.
Zhao Jun and Zhao Zhen walked side by side, while Wang Shouzhong, Cao Xiu and others followed cautiously behind.
"Great Sun, can the Great Song Dynasty really become strong?"
Zhao Zhen asked unconsciously.
Zhao Jun nodded seriously: "As long as we work hard and eliminate the main shortcomings step by step, there is still a good chance."
"Um."
Zhao Zhen extended his fair hand from his wide sleeves, patted Zhao Jun on the shoulder, and said sincerely, "Grandson, I leave everything to you."
"Uh, okay."
Zhao Jun turned his head and looked at the white arm, feeling something was wrong.
He always CPUs Zhao Zhen, making Zhao Zhen dependent on him.
At first I thought it was a good thing. At least now Zhao Zhen was very obedient and listened to him in everything.
But the more CPU he used, the more Zhao Zhen relied on him, and he gradually became effeminate, hoping that Zhao Jun would take care of everything for him.
What if I really become a coward with no opinions of my own in the future?
All right.
Just be a coward.
Zhao Jun thought to himself, then said, "Brother, how is your health? Are you taking Liuwei Dihuang Pills and Jinkui Shenqi Pills every day?"
"Eating."
“How does the effect feel?”
"fine"
"That's good. Remember to take medicine and exercise."
"Yes, I've made a note of it, Grandson."
"Um?"
"I"
Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Can I try to have a child now?"
Zhao Jun thought about it.
Historically, Zhao Zhen did not have no sons, but the children he gave birth to died young. This might be because the buildings in the imperial palace were poisonous or the mother was too young.
Now Zhao Zhen has been abstaining from sex for a long time, taking tonics and exercising every day, so his fertility should be fine.
