Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

He was very sure that the young emperor in front of him had also thought of what he had just said, otherwise he would not have been so calm after listening to it.

But it's a thankless task...

It doesn't seem like this little ancestor would do it?

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am a fool."

Qin Kui honestly expressed his incomprehension, but was also very curious about what was going on in the young emperor's head.

Zhu Yunhuan only smiled and said, "It means exactly what it says. Promote the use of water-powered spinning machines and flying shuttle looms. Let as many people know and understand them as possible. That's all."

"But this..." Qin Kui was still a little hesitant. Even if he had money, he wouldn't build it like this?

Zhu Yunhuan then asked, "What do you think, if I can solve the raw material problem you mentioned in the future, but the people don't know about flying shuttle looms and water-powered spinning machines, will that cause any problems?"

Hearing Zhu Yunhuan's words.

Qin Kui frowned and thought seriously, muttering, "When there are enough raw materials... these two things can quickly increase the production of various fabrics. If the people don't understand... then..."

At this point, his eyes lit up, and he continued, "Ordinary people don't understand, let alone use, so most can only use the old, inefficient methods of spinning and weaving. But some people understand, can use, and can produce large quantities of fabric. The hand-woven fabrics of ordinary people... are worthless!"

Although Qin Kui longed for progress, he still had real talent.

I immediately understood that Zhu Yunhuan was referring to the drastic price fluctuations caused by this market supply and demand relationship.

"That's right." Zhu Yunhuan nodded. He was smart, had real talents and knowledge, and was diligent in his work, so Zhu Yunhuan liked to use him.

At present, the production of silk fabrics is of course severely restricted by raw materials.

But not in the future.

The sweet potatoes in his hands, and even in the future if Ma Sanbao successfully finds potatoes, corn and other crops, will release huge productivity for growing mulberry, hemp and cotton.

In addition, after he eliminated the internal threats such as the Huaixi nobles and vassal kings, and improved the domestic economy and productivity, he could also obtain a large amount of raw materials through foreign trade or war...

That's not a problem at all.

By then, the advent of the spinning machine and the flying shuttle loom basically represented the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. But as with everything, there are yin and yang, advantages and disadvantages, and for every good side there is always a disadvantage.

The same was true of the Industrial Revolution.

Technological advances can rapidly change the way production is done.

However, the adjustment of social system, people's cultural concepts and cognition, resource allocation, etc. requires a long process.

In this process.

There will inevitably be huge conflicts.

For example, the industrial revolution in the West in history seemed to have formed many Western powers and developed countries, but the process in between can be said to be a history of blood and tears.

The original artisans and small-scale factories could not keep up with the rapid progress of the times and technology, and their low production efficiency caused them to be squeezed. Class division, exploitation and oppression, and the gap between the rich and the poor widened infinitely...

During the long period of the Industrial Revolution, the lives of most of the lower-class people were in dire straits.

This is the other side of the Industrial Revolution.

While the term "Industrial Revolution" may seem like just four simple words, it's definitely not something you can just utter and then leave it at that. On the contrary, there are many complex and complex considerations involved, and even a single move can have a profound impact on the entire system!

If we don’t think about it in advance, some groups will inevitably be sacrificed, the people will suffer, and the country will be prone to instability.

But being at the top of such a huge imperial machine, he had to and could only be extremely cautious.

anyway.

Zhu Yunhuan must have wanted to promote the Industrial Revolution.

But he... wants to push this process forward in a gentle way!

Zhu Yunxun sorted out his thoughts in silence.
