In short, living in Xudu is like wanting to live in heaven.
Just don't get too comfortable!
Now, the steam power has achieved a very significant breakthrough, and it is also widely used in various fields, and even achieved new breakthroughs.
In this case, it is true that it makes people feel extremely comfortable.
Of course, the improvement of the steam engine also allowed Xu Du to successfully enter the industrial park for industrialization and assembly line work.
Almost all the large and small factories in Xudu now use steam engines, and under such circumstances, steam engines have become the main substitute for manpower.
For example, in a textile factory in Xudu, there are very few workers, only more than 100 people, less than 200 people.
A textile factory like this is considered a relatively small factory building. After all, the number of workers and the area it occupies can’t be large.
However, this is the case, with more than 100 workers, the amount of cloth woven by this textile factory is very large, and this amount can be equal to the monthly production of thousands of skilled female workers.
what is this concept?
A thousand skilled female weavers work non-stop every day, even if the sum of one month's work is added up, it may not be as busy as this steam engine for two days.
Even, the cloth made by this steam engine is very neat, solid, and of good quality.
However, the cloth woven by manpower is relatively uneven, and more importantly, the efficiency is not high at all.
There are countless examples like this. At the beginning, some people still did not believe in the technology of this steam engine, but after comparing it with those factories that use steam engines, they felt that they understood it a bit late.
The addition of the steam engine has instantly increased the productivity, and the more things are produced, the labor costs have been reduced, and the price has also dropped a lot.
Usually some ordinary bosses wear patched clothes, but now in this capital city, this situation has basically disappeared.
People lived in poverty before, so clothes were always mended for three years.
However, whether it is productivity or other aspects, people are gradually becoming richer and their minds are becoming more open.
No one wears old clothes anymore, let alone those patched clothes.
The changes in life have happened in the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the people in the capital city. Such changes are the most obvious and can be seen at a glance.
In addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, there is also the development of that culture.
The papermaking and printing industries in Xudu were also created by Cao Ang, nearly four years have passed since the beginning.
At such a time, the paper industry and the printing industry have developed extremely strong and mature.
The present situation cannot be achieved without the leadership of this leader.
The development of the printing industry and the paper industry will first affect those industries that need paper and printing.
Whether it's the newspapers, books, or anything else, all of them have undergone very significant changes that are visible to the naked eye.
And after the development of newspapers, books, and other aspects, this directly affects the strength of culture!
The powerful propaganda of newspapers and books has now strengthened the propaganda strength of this culture to an almost epic level!
Not only that, in the recent period of time, the latest change, also the most shocking change in people's hearts, is the use of electricity.
Prime Minister Cao Ang subdued the thunder and lightning, such a situation appeared in major newspapers, and there were some special books introducing this great situation.
All of a sudden, Cao Ang became famous again for his research on electricity, and people were even more curious about this lightning.
Not long after, this power was put into the entire Xu capital city.
The most obvious application is to install street lights on the busiest streets in Xudu, and electric lights are also hung in front of some commercial markets.
Of course, after the generator was manufactured, the first thing Cao Ang used was the restaurants and entertainment venues in his hands.
These applications not only regard these points as trial operation points, but also take care of your own voice first, which is naturally necessary for such a situation.
Then those who benefited were the homes of the dignitaries above the imperial court. They replaced the candles and other lighting lanterns in their homes with electric lights one after another, lighting up the entire mansion.
At night, if you look down from a high place, Xudu at this time has become a city without night!
Brightly lit all night, very prosperous.
The investment of this electricity brought Xu Ducheng's overall compulsion to a higher level and increased it to a higher level.
The means of transportation have been changed, the clothes have been changed, the way of life has been changed, and there is another very fatal change which is the most fundamental change.
Chapter 486 No chance of winning at all
As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. Under such circumstances, it is natural to change the food!
In fact, this food change has already been started at the earliest time, and this kind of start was started by Cao Ang from the very beginning.
However, at that time, Cao Ang's purpose was to survive the famine and make a qualitative leap in grain production.
It is precisely because of this that the production of food has also been greatly helped.
But under the current situation, if we want to change the grain, what we need to change is naturally the type of grain, as well as fine grain and so on.
Although the yield of corn and potatoes is very high, it is not good to eat such food all year round, so Cao Ang has also made some adjustments to other fine grains, and more importantly, the impact on the price of these fine grains.
Let people be able to eat fine grains, and at the same time eat fine grains without spending a lot of money. This is what Cao Ang wants to change.
After Cao Ang's influence, this situation happened very quickly, and it also changed very quickly, with a deep impact!
In this Xu capital city, people have also made great changes in eating. People are even more grateful to Cao Ang for this situation, and they worship Cao Ang extremely.
Whether it is in the material aspect or in the spiritual aspect, the various situations are very obvious now. The most important thing is that such situations happen at the same time. If it is true, it will have an irresistible impact.
With nothing to worry about, the labor force in Xudu is so abundant that it cannot be more abundant. Adding up all the Central Plains, under a more conservative estimate, adding 100 million troops to the current situation is Not a problem.
Such a conservative estimate means that the 100 million army can be trained normally, spent normally, and operated.
It's not that after these new troops are added, the entire army will not be able to operate, and it will also increase the burden on the court.
One million is the highest number that can run smoothly, and it is also the most reasonable number.
After Lu Su saw such a situation, he was shocked by the addition of 100 million troops and couldn't be more shocked.
Looking at the abundant labor force and grain production, it is actually not difficult to calculate such a situation.
Lu Su's heart was extremely heavy.
And this situation is not the most heavy for Lu Su. In Lu Su's heart, the most heavy thing is the very powerful weapon he saw, gunpowder!
After Lu Su saw such a thing, he didn't know what kind of thing it was at first, but he had heard of such a thing.
