My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

In the spring of that year, good news was frequently heard from the Qin city of Xianyang.

The Qin people, from old to young, have witnessed history all their lives.

From the unification of the world to the forefront of today's technological explosion, everyone can feel the breath of changing times.

Some people have keenly grasped the trend of change and transformation early on. These people are smart people. They entered factories early, even did some errands, and changed from military officers to civilian positions. Unfortunately, smart people in the world are often a minority.

Most people are immersed in the old world. To be more precise, they are immersed in their own little world, their own little universe.

They think that people and affairs in the world have nothing to do with them and live in their own small world.

After a few years, if you are not careful, you will fall behind.

If you don't know how to grasp the general trend of the times and don't stand at the forefront of the times, no matter how hard you try, it will still be the same.

This world is a game. Choice is more important than effort.

Once an option is chosen incorrectly, the plot that opens will change. No matter how good the original configuration is, if you choose the wrong answer, the script you experience next will definitely be low-end.

People are like this, most of them are lazy.

It is difficult to break the old shackles and step out of your comfort zone.

Without some coercive force driving them from behind, it is difficult for people to break their original thinking and habits and get out of their old lives. Most of them don't know how to think.

They are just controlled by their emotions and go around in circles all their lives.

It may be hard for many people to imagine that, in fact, many of the people of the Qin Dynasty witnessed the transformation of the empire, the birth of many new artifacts, and the emergence of new technologies.

However, the number of people who can think of staying at the forefront and leading this era is less than one in a million.

Less than one in ten thousand people can think of participating in inventing technology and bringing benefits to the people.

Most of them are just there to watch the fun, hoping to reap the benefits without doing anything else.

They all thought that they would just wait for Qin II to give them money.

In fact, what everyone likes is subsidies, what they like is dependence, what they like is to reap the fruits of others' labor. What everyone desires is money that falls from the sky.

People who are a little bit more capable think about working hard, but they hope that they can get 100% for every 100% they put in. This type of people accounts for a large proportion.

There are actually not many people who can truly practice what you sow, what you reap.

What everyone hates most is work, what they dislike most is effort, and what they dislike most is exerting effort.

Humans are born with certain bad qualities, and after millions of years of evolution, they have only made a little progress.

In the eyes of God, this tiny bit of progress is actually a step backward.

Because there is no change at all. After millions of years of evolution, you humans are still the same. Then aren't you wasting food and evolving in vain?

Failed to advance.

Can you believe that the people of the Qin Dynasty now applaud the times and say that everyone's life has become better? In fact, there are very few people who understand the tide of the times and can grasp the rope.

This leads to something.

Countless people lost their jobs and returned to their hometowns to become unemployed.

Some people may find it strange that the emperor is creating jobs and everyone's life is getting better. Although most people are lazy and hate work, they are still diligent, so why are they still unemployed?

Because they are originally out of touch with this world and out of step with the times.

For example, the evolution of the times is from A to B to C, and so on.

In the first stage, the outbreak is A, which is a war. At this time, you have to reap the dividends of the war. Even if you are a woman, if you join the army and are responsible for washing clothes and cooking, you can survive.

The second stage is the middle of the war, when there is a shortage of food and grass. This is the opportunity, this is the cusp of the times. When there is a shortage of food and grass, what awaits you is farming. At this time, everyone goes to farm. Whoever plants more land will benefit.

If you want to always catch the big fish, you should consider what will happen after Bing and Ding, and always be one step ahead in making plans.

If someone wants to always have fish to eat, he must catch A, B, C, and D.

He has to seize every stage.

But why do many people fall out of the industrial development stage of this era without realizing it?

Because he was originally living in an illusion. The Qin Dynasty had already developed to the stage of Ding, and thoroughly developed the economy and industry.

But for most people, their social circles, even their thinking, and the skills they possess are all still at the A stage.

In other words, they are still living in the war era and behave with the mindset of the war era.

Most of the men were waiting for the emperor to recruit soldiers so that they could have something to eat.

In fact, they are led by a group of outstanding people from the lower classes of society.

They live under the halo of heroes of the old era. They believe that with their own abilities, they will be able to become Xinling Jun or a person like Wang Jian in the future.

They have no idea that it was the times, not their own efforts, that made them what they are.

Some people have the illusion that they can succeed as long as they work hard.

It's not that simple.

Military merit and titles are things of the old times. As people are so treacherous, no court dares to trust them anymore.

As a result, the first two groups of people to lose their jobs were those who still believed that the title was valuable.

The second wave of people are those scholars, those who aspire to be scholars and doctors. They take Mao Jiao, Dun Ruo, Yao Jia and Li Si as their role models, and they also believe that hard work can change their fate.

Their eyes are only on their own goals and they ignore changes in the environment.

As time went by, those who had obtained the title realized that it was worthless and could not bring them any profit. Instead, they spent almost half their lives seeking the title, but in the end, they got a title that was worthless.

Didn't catch the opportunity.

Now, Qin is developing Bing and Ding.

Bing and Ding represent fire, which represents technology, invention and beauty.

The era of peace has arrived. Everyone can live and work in peace. People can have houses to live in and food to eat. Men have a greater chance of getting married. Beautiful people are popular, and people who are well fed are busy pursuing beauty, taking care of their hair, beautifying their skin, and protecting their health.

This is the trend.

Technology is developing rapidly, and now is the time to invest in the hottest and most cutting-edge ones. Don't always think about chasing the tail.

During the war, military doctors were a group of people that the country paid great attention to. Everyone thought that being a military doctor was a stable job, so everyone went to study medicine.

But once twenty years have passed, the so-called iron rice bowl of military doctors has become a joke.

The medical profession is overcrowded after graduation.

It is equivalent to that the Qin State has developed to level D, but everyone is still immersed in the links of A and B.

When they realize their mistake, they let their children pursue Bing and Ding again. That would be tragic again.

Because the Qin State is now developing at its peak.

What does it mean? The Qin Dynasty has become powerful.

When a giant is born, he will certainly show off his military power to the outside world, so that people around him will recognize his dominant position and serve him as their master.

This means that the next Qin State will enter the Wu Earth and Ji Earth.

What is the treasury? When a country is strong and its economy is developed, the treasury is full of money. If you know how to manage it, you are a smart person. At that time, you can make money even if you lie down, but who will seize this opportunity?

As a country becomes stronger, it will seek a wider territory. In the new era, a large number of foreign personnel will be needed. There will be another wave of immigration.

What do you need to learn? Learn a foreign language. In this way, you can easily get an official position, and if things go well, you can even become a ruler of a country. And so on.

However, most people are very pitiful.

Spend your whole life chasing after the times.

The family karma is endlessly entangled, living under the shadow of the parents, living in emotions, living in a small world.

Countless moments of living in a daze flashed by, and they missed countless opportunities to make themselves strong and turn from weak to strong time and time again.

People live in this world with only one purpose, which is to make themselves stronger.

But people always make the wrong choices.

Poor people of the Qin Dynasty, some of them are still immersed in the dreams of the old times.

Year after year passed, and the peach blossoms bloomed three times.

The Qin State has embarked on the path of the industrial revolution and will develop into a technological empire in the future.

But countless people are still living in the remnant dream of war.

They wanted to make a living the old way... fighting in battles, getting a title, and becoming nobles.

pitiful……

Times have changed, and aristocratic status and titles are no longer valuable.

In this era, whoever masters technology is a noble.

Those who are needed by others are the iron-clad aristocrats.

As strong as Huang Xuhua is, with his skills, even the emperor has to give him some ground.

This is the strong one.

Anyone who can bring benefits to the people around him is a strong person.

No one cares who you are, everyone just wants to know what you can bring to the people around you.

If you can do this and bring benefits to the people around you, you will be a strong person and everyone will depend on you.

But in the current Qin Dynasty, most people are still confused.

They don’t know what to do next. It seems that the world is developing very fast and is very prosperous, but that dazzling prosperity is getting farther and farther away from them.

People don’t understand what they have done wrong and why they are the ones who lose their jobs.

There was nothing that could be done about it, because the Qin State had always advocated emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce in its early years, and the atmosphere of the times led to people looking down on craftsmen; in addition, the environment within the six countries was similar.

The nobility is in decline, and the common people are being oppressed, so there is no way out for them.

The kind that can't survive even if they sell their children.

After all, craftsmen are people who make a living by their craft. Only common people would do these things, and everyone looked down on craftsmen.

Just because of a look down upon something, a disdain for something, or an old habit of concept, a person's destiny can be turned upside down.

A slight change of thought can make a world of difference.

As for the nobles, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

The decline of the nobility usually means that they are driven out of the political power circle. However, relying on their profound background, the declining nobility usually turn to business with their connections and resources.

Once he becomes rich through business, he basically returns to mingle in political circles.

So, it’s a thousand-year-old family.

Because they have that little bit of possessions and can play with it over and over again.

The times are always theirs.

But the common people of the Qin Empire were different. Most of them were catching up with the end of the era.

Rushing to the end means you can only drink the remaining soup.

It's like the first person who ran to India could be the boss and let everyone support him. But the next people who followed suit and ran to America could only dig gold for the first wave of people who occupied the territory first, wash the gold, and hand over the gold cleaned of mud to the American lord.

That is, the people who get on the bus first and the people who get on the bus later.

Those who get on the bus first will definitely squeeze out those who get on later and are unwilling to share resources with them.

The human world is actually an animal world disguised as a civilized world.

The strong prey on the weak, survival of the fittest.

Only a few virtuous people can always avoid danger.

People like this are dedicated to serving the public, and they deserve the best ending.

For example, young people like Huang Xuhua are destined not to become famous in their youth and prime. The only thing that can save his life and soul is his own faith.

But the times and the empire will not let down such a person.

The legend and glory of the Qin Empire were also rooted bit by bit by this kind of people, taking root in the long river of time.

The factory system had been brewing and internal regulations had begun to be established; now assembly line production had been fully launched, and all kinds of daily necessities were almost in mass production. With the addition of a series of gunpowder weapons and a variety of state-owned factories, the entire Qin Empire had laid the foundation for the prototype of an industrial model.

This is the best gift that Qin Shihuang brought to the people of the Qin Dynasty, the centralized system.

If we concentrate all resources and mobilize them, it will not be difficult to carry out the industrial revolution.

For anything, the beginning is always the hardest.

However, once you start, once you start doing it, you will be not far from success.

The industrial revolution model of the Qin Empire has been laid.

Of course, those who are truly sensitive to history can also feel at the first moment that the future external expansion of the Qin Empire is inevitable.

Because Qin's resource production has doubled, the supply of goods is so large that expanding sales is almost inevitable.

But there are only so many people in the country, so in the future Qin will have to work hard on giving birth to the next generation and encourage people to have more children;

In addition, Qin's sales market had to be expanded overseas.

You see, the fate of many people is determined from the very beginning when they are born.

Sometimes when you think about economics, you will find that people are actually no different from commodities.

Let’s talk about commodities first. When demand exceeds supply and the value of commodities depreciates, people will reduce the production of commodities because it is not worth producing them.

Let's talk about people. When people have value, for example, the government needs people to fill certain needs in the future, parents need to have a boy to do something, and need to have a girl to do something else.

Demand drives the desire for production, and at this time people just give birth.

But when there are too many people, products will overflow and these people will no longer be needed, and their value will immediately depreciate.

Everyone will stop having children.

The empire is advancing every day through the trials of blood and tears.

The Qin State ushered in a technological explosion, and the next step was a population explosion.

And this is just the beginning.
