Chapter 478 Unemployment brought about by the popularization of steam engines
With the orderly implementation of technical distribution work.
The steam engine and the initial technology of the steel pouring method have been handed over to the hands of major merchants.
From this moment on, Daqin made a qualitative leap in the output of steam engines and the steel pouring method.
The original Da Qin could only rely on the production of the Mechanical Shaofu, and the production progress of the steam engine was extremely slow.
After the technology was decentralized, with the participation of three giants, the daily output of the steam engine suddenly increased by a large margin.
With it, the price of the steam engine - fell.
The threshold for its use is lowered, and the speed of popularization is accelerated.
The number of steam engines has increased, and the work efficiency of Daqin has been greatly improved in any industry that can use steam engines.
The output is rising like a rocket.
Workers are gradually being replaced by machines.
Because of the saving of a lot of manual costs, the originally very expensive fabrics fell again and again because of the competition in the industry.
This is great news for the people of Daqin.
Commodity prices drop, it represents an increase in the purchasing power of the currency.
Invisibly, the people of Daqin became wealthy again.
Of course, the steam engine had a limited impact.
Not all items on the market have been reduced in price.
There are some commodities that are not affected by the steam engine, such as grain, fruits and vegetables, meat, etc. These people's most basic source of income, the price has been very stable.
If the price of food decreases, the price of food does not change, which is equivalent to the increase in the value of food.
This time, the common people of Qin who had been replaced by the steam engine in the workshop, once again had the idea of going back to farming.
But it was at this point that the problem arose.
When they decided that they would depend on labor for a living instead of farming, they sold their acres.
But now I want to go back and buy it again... that's basically impossible.
After all, we are not fools.
Now that farming is so profitable, only fools will sell the land back.
As a result, as more and more steam engines entered the factory, more and more people lost their jobs.
Since some people have lost their jobs, some people will definitely be dissatisfied.
In today's Daqin, Wenxing Wulong, up and down a peaceful and prosperous age.
These dissatisfied people can only rely on complaints to vent their unsatisfied selfishness.
"Have you heard that there was a heavy rainstorm in Hanzhong County a while ago, and the sky was thundering, and God seemed to be angry, as if something had happened. 35
"I heard about it. It is said that there was a businessman who opened a textile workshop and was struck to death by lightning!"
"It seems as if they all said that God was very displeased with this kind of opportunistic stuff, so he was furious. 39
"Why are you dissatisfied? If it wasn't for the immortals who invented the steam engine, would we stinking farmers be able to wear cloth clothes now?"5
"Who knows, but after all, this thing can be moved without relying on human power, and it still has so much energy, it's quite evil."
"The more illiterate I become, the more evil I feel. My child is now in the second grade of middle school and knows the principles of steam engines. 99
"It's all rumors, anyway, I can trust Your Majesty and the immortals. 35
"I also believe that without His Majesty and the immortals, we would not have the good days we have now.
Similar conversations now appear in the streets and alleys around Hanzhong County.
And Lao Zhao and Su Yu, who had a lot of eyes and ears, naturally knew about this early on.
"Su Yu, what do you think?" Lao Zhao asked leisurely while drinking the fragrant tea in the cup.
The tea in his hand did not come from Su Yu.
It was made by some merchants who specialize in tea making in Daqin today.
Although it is said that the photo is still a long way from the Dahongpao that Su Yu took out before.
But being able to have his own tea is already a big improvement for Da Qin.
Su Yu said while eating the dried meat, "It's a big thing, and it's a small thing."9
"In a big way, this rumor may affect the popularity of steam engines in the future."
"Let's talk about it...even if we don't care about it, the rumors are just rumors, and they will be self-defeating soon. 99
"Besides, today's people are also willing to believe us, it's not a big problem."
Listening to Su Yu's analysis, Lao Zhao nodded slightly.
As Su Yu said, half of the reason that the people of Daqin can have today's life is that most of the prices brought by the steam engine have dropped after the popularization of the steam engine.
Want to hinder the popularization of steam engines?
First, I asked the vast majority of the people in Daqin if they would answer.
"I think we have to start from the root of the matter," Su Yu suggested.
"source?"
Su Yu nodded: "Well, there must be grievances against the steam engine, it should be because of the popularity of the steam engine and the unemployed people."
Lao Zhao was noncommittal.
"Although these rumors will eventually fall apart, I think we can solve the problem of unemployment of the common people." Su Yu said with a smile.
"Indeed, if you leave it alone, it will become a hidden danger for Da Qin sooner or later." Lao Zhao said in agreement.
"It's just that the farmland in Daqin is basically difficult to spare now. Is it difficult to continue to reclaim the barren hills?"
With the popularization and development of the Quyuan plow and other convenient agricultural tools invented by the common people.

Daqin's farming efficiency has been unprecedentedly improved.
Coupled with the former Xiongnu grassland, the herdsmen of Daqin have begun to import cattle, horses and other livestock in large quantities to the Guannei area.
This has brought the already high farming efficiency to a new level.
The former Daqin was worried about too much land.
But now I am worried that there are too many people farming the land, and the land is not divided enough!
"Forget about reclaiming barren mountains, there are too many views on trees and vegetation, and there will be many unavoidable problems in the future. It is not necessary to return farmland to forests at that time." Su Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
As a modern man, he is well aware of the serious consequences of deforestation.
"Actually, we can let the people move to the nearest place, like the Xiongnu grassland. It's a pity that there are only so many Daqin herdsmen in such a large area."
"Similarly, Oluo County also has large tracts of fertile land waiting to be planted."
Su Yu took a sip of tea: "And ah, let them get rid of the unemployment problem, not only let them go back to farming this way."
“It is one of them to let the people move and re-offer the fertile fields and pastures, and the other is to increase the jobs that can provide the people with remuneration.35
"Post? Today's Daqin, I'm afraid it's perfect, right? What can be added by adding more?" Lao Zhao asked suspiciously.
Su Yu smiled mysteriously: "Where is this going? Today's Daqin is only just getting started. When it comes to perfection, it's still far from perfect.
"for example?
Su Yu thought about it and said, "For example, some places that can provide enjoyment and entertainment."
enjoy?
entertainment?
A big question mark appeared in Lao Zhao's mind.
The places that provide this, the ones who can afford to go, are probably those rich and wealthy people, right?
And among these people, which one has no servants.
Still need to go to these places?
Seeing Lao Zhao's puzzled look, Su Yu smiled.
"You don't understand, we must have our advantage."
"That's...professional!"
