I am Da Song

Chapter 576 Zhu Xia's Black Hair

Member Yang was very generous. Seeing that Zhao Huan seemed to be very interested in Silla's maid, he said directly: "If my brother likes it, I can also give three concubines to one of my virtuous brothers."

Zhao Huan understood Yang Yuanwai's thoughts. To him, the Silla maidservant was just a home decoration worth two hundred guan, no different from the two hundred guan porcelain, folding fan, inkstone, calligraphy and painting. He completely regarded the Silla maidservant as a beauty The scroll is over.

But Zhao Huan couldn't accept it. The only married woman he had ever slept with was Tang Kuo Hui'er, the Queen of Jin.

And after Wanyan and Wu Qimai died, Zhao Huan had little interest in her.

So he immediately declined, saying: "A gentleman does not take what others like. I will also go to Yanjing in a few days. If I am interested, I will personally choose a Silla maidservant."

Member Yang nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I won't say much. Brother, you can go to Yanjing to pick and choose. As far as I know, Silla maidservants are a legacy of the Tang Dynasty, and Fusang maidservants are popular in my dynasty recently."

Fusang maidservants are Japanese women.These women are small and gentle, and the key is to be very submissive and treat their masters as heaven.

Therefore, it is a strong competitor for Silla maidservants in the slave maid trading market.

Although it has only appeared for a few years, it has already had a great impact on the dominance of Silla maidservants.

Yang Yuanwai is not a person who indulges in sex, after chatting with women for a while, he changed the topic to Tokyo and asked: "Your brother is from Tokyo, he has seen a lot, can you tell me about the sights of Tokyo? I heard that there are no dirt roads in Tokyo, they are all brick and stone roads, and there are no thatched houses in the city, they are all big houses with black bricks and black tiles, right?"

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "This should be a misrepresentation. As far as I know, there are still dirt roads in Tokyo, especially in the inner city. But the thatched huts should really disappear, whether it is a medical center, a private house, or a school. , pharmacies are all built with gray tiles and fired bricks.”

Member Yang was amazed, and asked, "Shouldn't it mean that the further you go to the inner city, the richer you become? Why are there so many dirt roads in the inner city?"

Zhao Huan said: "It is because the inner city is rich and noble, so it is not easy to demolish and relocate. There are still a lot of Daguan and Zhenghe buildings. On the contrary, the land in the outer city is cheap, so it can be renovated quickly."

"And the earthen kilns are all in the outer city, and the bricks and stones in the outer city are cheaper."

Member Yang asked in surprise: "There are earthen kilns in Tokyo? There is thick smoke under the feet of the emperor, but it is bad for Feng Shui."

This is also an important reason why Zhao Huan left Beijing to go out.

Tokyo is a comprehensive city. Relying on its well-developed plain water network, Tokyo City has built a very developed industrial area.

In this city, there are at least 10,000+ chimneys.

From iron and steel smelting to military production, from burning coal to making porcelain and bricks, a lot of billowing smoke is emitted every day.

As a result, at a glance, the entire city has strong industrial characteristics.

Tokyo is really suitable for industrial development!
He itself is located on a plain, and has a dense and well-developed water network, with convenient transportation.

More importantly, even the origin of raw materials is very close to him.

Pingdingshan Coal Mine, the largest coal mining area in the Central Plains, is not far from Tokyo.

Other dynasties had to go to Shanxi to burn coal and make coke, but it was completely unnecessary in the Song Dynasty, as there were massive coal resources right next to the capital.

With these two conditions, Tokyo is destined to develop a strong industry, but what is more important to industrial development is that the market is on the edge of this industrial zone.

As the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, the core area with a population of several million, and the best place in the world, this is the market with the strongest and densest consumption capacity in the Great Song Dynasty.

One of the biggest constraints currently restricting industrial development is inconvenient transportation.

The transportation problem can be solved, and the price of any industrial product will drop significantly.

The Tokyo Industrial Zone just perfectly avoided this biggest constraint.The industrial products produced in the industrial zone can directly enter the largest consumer market when they are pulled into Tokyo.

It can even radiate to other most elite and richest areas through the Tokyo Water Conservancy Network.

With so many conveniences, naturally countless workshops have opened here.

This makes Tokyo have the same status as the imperial capitals of later dynasties. It is both a political center and an economic center, as well as an industrial center. Even in the Song Dynasty, it was also a cultural center.

The scene of the empire on which the sun never sets, London, becoming an orphan in the smog city in industrialization, is being reproduced step by step in Tokyo of the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, Zhao Huan was very pleased with this step.

It's not that no one has impeached harmful feng shui, Zhao Huanquan thought they were farting.

As for pollution control?

That's even more impossible.This is an inevitable step on the road to industrial development.

Da Song is not yet extravagant enough to allow political pollution.Now, the most important mission of Da Song is to promote industrialization at all costs.

As for environmental protection, personal health, everything is secondary and insignificant.

Never underestimate the ability of human beings to endure harsh environments. Even if a large number of people in Orphan Twist die every year due to poisoning, it will not affect the determination of the empire on which the sun never sets to develop its industry.

Even if the Celestial Dynasty has a powerful industrial scale unprecedented since the birth of mankind, Zhu Xia has also carried it over.

Pollution first and then governance may seem cold and ruthless, but this is the best choice for a nation.

Just like the granary knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing know the honor and disgrace.First have the capital to survive, and then think about how to live better.

If you want to achieve it in one step, you can only make the most classic mistake. The seventh cake is full, so the first six handles are a waste.

For the industrial development of the Song Dynasty, the empire could sacrifice everything, including the beautiful life of the emperor Zhao Huan.

Without this kind of will, if you want to move from a feudal small-scale peasant economy to an industrial society, it is simply wishful thinking.

So Zhao Huan explained to Yang Yuanwai: "The emperor once said that the thick smoke in the chimney is Zhu Xia's black hair. Whoever wants to cut off this hair will shave Zhu Xia's hair and make it easier to wear. punish."

Yang Yuanwai suddenly looked down, and said: "How beautiful is the chimney? The official's attitude is firm, no wonder no one in the court dares to discuss it."

Zhao Huan said: "You need to know that every chimney that falls means that a factory closes down, and a large number of workers lose their jobs and have to return to the countryside to engage in farming."

Yang Yuanwai murmured: "The government still advocates industry as always. It is quite different from the previous dynasty's emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business. I think it's okay to go back to farming, at least it's safe."

Zhao Huan smiled and said: "This country always needs someone to forge ahead. Brother, if you have porcelain, don't you want more exquisite tools? For example, pots that can keep the water temperature high. If you have oil lamps, you don't want something that can last forever Lamps? These can’t be grown by farming in the ground, and must be obtained from industry.”

Member Yang thought for a moment, nodded, and before he had time to speak, there was a burst of festive cheers from outside the room.
