When Wei State caused quite a lot of riots, Yan State was already actively preparing for war.

In order to improve the backward textile industry, appropriately liberate the labor force - after all, it is extremely hard for women to weave cloth every day. In addition, Yan State itself is scarce, and only by improving efficiency through industrial upgrading can the people escape from this handicraft industry and save time and do other things.

After all, technology is the primary productivity.

As the princess of Yan, Liu Qing and Wang Zhu had the responsibility and attitude of being a mother in the world. They took the lead in weaving and spinning as role models in the harem and informed the people at the same time.

Gongsun Xiu looked at the two princesses weaving and spinning. It was obvious that Wang Zhu had never learned to weaving and was a little clumsy. He was also pricked by needles on his fingers, and tears were so painful that they were in tears. He was both wronged and angry.

"This is too careless."

Gongsun Xiu picked up her little hand, was a little funny, and pinched her cheek: "Don't cry anymore. You can cry in front of me, but you can't cry in front of others, so you can make jokes."

Wang Zhu snorted, reached out to pinch his waist, and whispered: "I am not crying in front of others because only Wang Shang is willing to coax me in the world."

He felt warm after hearing this, and he took her into his arms and whispered: "You, it really makes me unable to get angry."

The two of them were in love with each other, but they only saw Liu Qing beside him feeling so sad, and they were operating the spinning wheel on their own.

Gongsun Xiu turned around and thought that the princess had just made her happy again, and the concubine was unhappy again. She walked to Liu Qing and changed the topic with a smile: "Qing'er, you are still kind-hearted and skillful, and you are very good at spinning."

Liu Qing turned his face and said softly: "The king is really good at praising people. I am not a noble princess, but just an ordinary girl. She is born to do these handicrafts, so of course she can make perfect."

Gongsun Xiu passed her armpits through her armpits, hugged her from behind, and joked: "It's better for me to have a good life. There are princesses and wealthy families, so I can enjoy the blessings of all the people."

Liu Qing's cheeks turned slightly red and she said angrily: "Don't do this."

He smiled and opened his arms and asked, "How much spinning can be produced in a day with this wheel spinning wheel?"

"If you spin a hemp, it will be about three pounds." Liu Qing said casually while turning the spinning wheel.

Gongsun Xiu couldn't help but be surprised: "So little?"

The weight of each piece of cloth is about twenty kilograms, which means that it takes six or seven days to spin the thread just for making weaving. In this way, unless the division of labor is outsourced and the textile thread is purchased from others, it is indeed slow if it is entirely produced and used by oneself.

Liu Qing sighed, "Does the king know today?"

"Yes, I don't have the will to be here, so how could I know that the production of a piece of cloth would be so cumbersome."

As soon as he said that, he could only sigh leisurely and frowned: "Maybe we can find a way to increase the spinning speed. After all, there are few people in Yan, and only by greatly increasing the output can we save energy and time. Otherwise, the women in the palace who only rely on the women who pick mulberry, spin, dye and weave mulberry trees, can't weave much cloth all year round."

What this said is indeed true. In China's small peasant economy for thousands of years, most of them are self-sufficient, and handmade goods are almost done by themselves. For the remote border of Yan State, ordinary farmers' winemaking, ironwork and clothes are basically produced and used by themselves, unless there is a necessary exchange.

Liu Qing touched Gongsun Xiu's face and said with a gentle voice: "The king does not need to be bothered. The manpower is limited, so it cannot be solved by worrying about such things."

He heard the four words "limited manpower" and a "boom" in his mind, he immediately thought of what the old man Ma said: "All developed machines are composed of three essentially different parts, engines, transmission mechanisms, tool machines or work machines."

Of course, this kind of problem can be considered in modern times. After all, technology has developed to a very uniform level. In this backward era, it is extremely difficult to create a screw with accurate accuracy and cannot be used as a reference directly. Later generations can be activated with fuel and power systems, but it is a fantasy at this time.

But this cannot be used, but the spinning wheel can be rotated by using hydraulic power, so that it can be run day and night. After all, people need to eat, drink, defecate and sleep. In addition to other farm work, it is impossible to spin yarn for twelve hours.

It is different to use hydraulic power to drive it. The daily uninterrupted operation must at least be several times more efficient than manpower, right? If the spinning wheel is built larger, the spinning speed will increase by multiple times.

Seeing him stunned, Liu Qing thought the king had become evil, so he reached out and shook his hand in front of him, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Gongsun Xiu came back to his senses, and then he opened his mind. He happily held her face and kissed her lips, saying happily: "I thought of a way to make the spinning wheel turn day and night and save most of the manpower."

Liu Qing's face was flushed with shame, and subconsciously looked up at the left and right. The palace maids turned their heads to the side and pretended to ignore them. She took out her handkerchief, wiped off the lipstick from his mouth, and said angrily: "I thought of it, but I thought about it, how could it be so reckless? How can it be so concise in public?"

Gongsun Xiu held her hand excitedly and said with a smile: "This is for the women in the world. Imagine that if you and I were not the King of Yan and the Princess, but just ordinary people in the folk. I plow the fields every day, and you will be consumed by these two things every day, so how can you do anything else? Prepare to build a spinning wheel that keeps running, without consuming too much manpower on spinning."

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice, and the more he spoke, he became less and less. He joked: "If this problem is solved, in the future, the people of the people will finish all their work as soon as the sky is dark. Both men and women can save their energy and go to bed early to rest. Isn't this just a response to the "Hunyuan Imperial Imperial Imperial Examination"? In the future, my population in Dayan will be prosperous and my number will increase, so I rely on this-"

Liu Qing only heard this and bent over and said, "The King's wonderful ideas are truly unprecedented. In your opinion, is this really the case? You have to bear the fertility problems of the people of Dayan alone."

Gongsun Xiu said to the sky and stopped saying such boring jokes: "I just thought of it casually. I don't know how to make it at all. I can only provide a general direction, so that Chen Chao can take the craftsmen from Wei to Dayan to try it. He studied under Ma Jun, and his craftsmen under him were also very influenced and could all try it. If they could make it, it would be a credit."

Liu Qingdai frowned and said, "As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. In fact, the most difficult thing in the world is to go from nothing to something. The one who has nothing to do is to create it out of thin air, not to surpass the talent of ancient and modern times. I would like to ask the ancient Lazu, who taught the people to raise silkworms and draw silk, so that they could have clothes. But then I think, the clothes made by Lazu may not have the exquisite clothes today. Can it be said that today's silkworm breeders and weavers are better than those of Lazu back then? It is nothing more than what the predecessors thought about, and later generations have adjusted their shortcomings according to their complexity and flaws, and thus improved step by step. If the king had excellent ideas, perhaps people could not create them now, and later generations could gradually make them out."

These words brought him a lot of inspiration.

Gongsun Xiu suddenly realized and nodded, "This is a good word. After all, there are many talented people and strangers in a thousand years. There will always be future generations who learn from their predecessors to find what they have never thought about."

Speaking of this, the idea of ​​writing books and biography suddenly came to mind, saying: "In fact, all of us should follow a concept: establish our minds for the heaven and earth, establish our destiny for the people, carry forward our unique knowledge for the past sages, and create peace for all generations. If we benefit in this world and enlighten future generations, it is not a good thing."

Liu Qing felt that these four sentences were grand and couldn't help but be fascinated by them: "The four sentences in the king are really examples of sages."

In the following time, Gongsun Xiu summoned the craftsmen brought to Yan State by Chen Chao and ordered them to develop a hydraulic-powered spinning wheel. The idea of ​​how to increase spindles and expand spinning wheels depends on their own research. Anyway, the general idea has been provided.

The hundreds of craftsmen were all a little tempted after hearing this, thinking that this could not be done overnight.

Gongsun Xiu stood with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "If you can create this thing, I will give you a generous reward."

After he put it into practice, he was not only inspecting the Yan army's training, repairing the city walls, and hoarding food and grass to prepare for war, but also doing something that Gongsun Xiu thought would be remembered forever - writing a book.

This book is not an ordinary book. He ordered the minor officials to copy what he saw and heard about modern industrial civilization in his later generations, as well as the scientific principles he could know and understand. Every night after handling political affairs, he would call the minor officials. Tonight, to talk about oil and energy, tomorrow, and various mixed knowledge points. Such books are for modern people in later generations to read, and they are not even considered encyclopedias of children. The ancients found it obscure and difficult to understand and did not understand the meaning.

But he firmly believed that this book would inevitably be used by the world, just as Shen Kuo of the Northern Song Dynasty predicted in advance that oil would "maintain great success in the world" in "Dream of Dreams". As Liu Qing said, it was impossible for predecessors to take a complete journey for future generations, and the road of science was a relay race, requiring generations of pursuit. It may stop in the middle, and it may take some detours. It is more likely that in a certain feudal period, because the political or social atmosphere turned backwards, resulting in the regression of civilization and making China, which was ahead of the world, become backward.

But if not, they will eventually go to that position.

This book is also named "Nine Agriculture and Industry Sciences", which elaborates on mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, etc. It is a pity that he is limited by his own talent and culture. He will elaborate on what he understands in detail. For those who have only a half-knowledge, he will leave half of the words and leave the rest to future generations to ponder.

Gongsun Xiu believed that if you want to give students the world first and plant your preference for science, you will inevitably be able to slowly understand this seemingly obscure but actually from shallow to deep. The key to the development of science and technology in the next two thousand years will not be completed day and night.

After all, in the three thousand years of feudal history, studying has always been for the purpose of becoming an official, and it is entirely for the glory of the emperor's hall in the morning. As for improving agriculture, handicrafts, there are very few scientists like Ma Jun and Shen Kuo. To make people have a hobby for this kind of thing, in addition to encouragement, they also have to create a special official position, through systematic learning of scientific knowledge and screening through examinations, in the end, someone can make progress through this subject and lead to the opportunity to become an official.

"Nine Agriculture and Industry Sciences" will sooner or later, as the times progress, like a ripe apple suddenly falls from under a tree, waking up the Newton who belongs to China. Maybe it can speed up the process of civilization for hundreds of years.

Gongsun Xiu thought that although there was already paper in this era, it was not popular, and there was no printing technology or movable type printing. The spread of books was mostly copied, which was far from adapting to the needs of the people. Even methods such as copying and rubbing appeared sixty years ago during the Xiping period of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

When a larger territory is established in the future, we must implement movable type printing technology and increase paper production, and print out all kinds of sub-collections of the Book of Songs. Only by popularizing culture can the imperial power dependence on the gentry. The gentry in this era almost monopolized culture and was controlled by the major families. The children trained by the gentry were mostly talented men who were well-educated, and they were qualified to enter the officialdom.

Ordinary time travelers may think: I am a bandit, I just need to make up my mind to kill Li Zicheng with a knife. Scholars are all unfaithful people and can be killed by random people.

Those who have this idea usually cannot survive for three chapters, and five chapters can only prove that the author has been in a hurry for two chapters.

To rule a huge empire, although there is a need for powerful generals who are good at using troops, but what is more important is internal stability than expanding territory. Ten miles a pavilion chiefs and one county magistrates all across the country all need a top-down bureaucratic system. To control the territory, if the emperor wants to control the territory, he always needs to issue orders? If the issuance of orders, he always needs to write an imperial edict to the officials. After the officials below understand the decree, he must submit a memorial to report the people's conditions.

Even writing a memorial requires a well-educated scholar to write, and scholars need to take root and manage it everywhere in order to build a ruling empire.

Time passes day by day, winter goes and autumn comes, and the frozen icy of the Liao River begins to emerge, crack and melt. It is the cold winter that fades away and early spring is coming. If it were in previous years, the people would have cheered for the severe winter, but this year they are not happy. The melting of winter snow means that the thousands of troops of Wei will be on their way to Liaodong.

Is it the hell on earth that is doomed, or the critical Jedi counterattack?

This is an inevitable battle.

Five years as a tycoon in Yan State.

In the palace of Yan, the ministers gathered and listed in His Highness.

Gongsun Xiu stood in front of his ministers with a seven-foot sword symbolizing the majesty of the emperor, and said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, Wei State has raised unrighteous soldiers, and Cao Shuang and other traitors play with power. They do not hesitate to raise 100,000 soldiers, and they hear about the flags for dozens of miles, and they hold their own power and respect them, and peek at Da Yan. There is no other way except to face the battle. Although his soldiers are numerous, those who are unrighteous and unnamed will be defeated. Who wants to be the vanguard in this battle and to destroy the enemy's spirit?"

This rebellious question only made Yang Zuo, Bei Yan and others at the stairs boil and heard it. They all stared at the seven-foot sword in the hands of King Yan, and asked to fight as vanguards.

The Seven-foot Sword is the power of the Emperor.

Everyone knows what this sword means.

Emperor Gaozu of Han was the head of the pavilion. He held a three-foot sword in his body and won the world. Even if he was noble, he would get a seven-foot golden sword.

Gongsun Xiu also understood that there was no chance to take advantage of this battle. Sima Yi sent troops to Liaodong in a completely questioning manner, and his troops were not superior. Moreover, due to the cooperation of Wu's attack, Jiang Wan of Shu's Kingdom entered Hanzhong, and Cao Rui's illness was severely ill, and the battle in Liaodong was hastily ended.

But Cao Shuang is different. He holds great power and cannot bear the power, and the troops he uses have reached a point where people are terrified.
