NOVEL WEB Chapter 51 So many slaves, they are all in vain if they are not used
Chapter 51 There are so many slaves, they are all in vain if they are not used.
"The reason why you feel confused is because you want to develop all industries, but Rome's foundation is not as good as ours, Great Qin, and cannot support the development of so many industries at the same time."
"And the war is about to break out. Light industry will not be able to play its role in a short period of time. It is better to cut it off directly and let all craftsmen produce heavy industry."
Ying Tian turned to look at Zhang Jiu, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile.
Through his eyes, he could see that Zhang Jiu was under great pressure.
in fact.
Many people think that it is good to be born in a big family, but in fact it is quite the opposite. Zhang Jiu has always lived in Zhang Han's shadow and has to endure countless times more pressure than ordinary people.
You must make yourself excellent. Once you make a mistake, you will be laughed at and lose your father's face.
The main reason for deciding to go to sea with Ying Tian, apart from their irreconcilable relationship, was to prove that he was good enough.
"Your Majesty, I am a little impatient."
Zhang Jiu was startled for a moment, then quickly understood what Ying Tian meant, a trace of shame flashed in his eyes.
I thought that by following my father's method of managing the young manor, I could ensure that no accidents would occur, but unexpectedly, an accident happened.
"Your Majesty, there is another problem. Due to Rome's backward industry, there are few craftsmen. Even if the light industry is cut off, I am afraid that it will not be able to develop heavy industry in a short time."
After he thought about all this, his eyes quickly became serious.
His brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about the problems he was facing today.
When he first came to Rome, he was shocked by the huge castle. However, as he got to know it more deeply, he discovered that Rome was nothing but gold on the outside and ruined on the inside.
Not to mention other things, the number of blacksmiths alone is only a few thousand, so who would dare to believe it?
To know.
At the same time, Great Qin had a total of 1.5 million blacksmiths!
The strength of a country can be roughly estimated by the number of craftsmen, because the development of a country is closely related to its craftsmen.
The construction of city walls, the forging of iron tools, the planting of grain and grass, and logistics and transportation are all inseparable from craftsmen.
"What do you think will happen if you let your father unify Rome by unifying the six countries?
Ying Tian did not answer directly, but changed the subject.
Zhang Jiu didn't even think about it and said directly, "With the ability of the First Emperor, unifying Rome is definitely a certainty. However, due to the different national conditions, the original method will not work. We have to change it..."
At first, Zhang Jiu's voice was still firm, but soon it gradually weakened and he fell into deep thought.
He was not stupid, he just fell into a dead end. After being raised to the point, he instantly understood what Ying Tian meant.
On the surface, it means that the First Emperor unified the six countries, but actually it means something else.
"This is Rome, not our Great Qin, so the way of controlling the Young Master naturally has to change."
Ying Tian randomly found a stone step, sat on it, leaned his back against the wall and said with a smile.
Zhang Jiu didn't speak. He sat next to Ying Tian, brought paper and pen, and acted like an obedient student.
"Didn't I tell you before that there are too many in Rome? There are too many slaves! You can't just use them however you want. If you die, you will die."
"The working hours of Da Qin every day are only four or five hours, but in Rome, so what if it lasts for twelve hours? At worst, it will kill all the 20 million Romans."
Ying Tian rolled his eyes, hating that iron cannot make steel.
He had mentioned this issue before, but Zhang Jiu obviously didn't listen.
If an outsider were here and heard this, they would probably be scared to death.
It seems that we are not talking about more than 20 million people, but livestock that can be slaughtered at any time.
"Your Majesty, how to solve the problem of craftsmen? It takes at least several months to train a craftsman, and the one trained is a Roman, and he will definitely die in the future."
<divclass="contentadv"> Zhang Jiu smiled brightly, and after taking Ying Tian's words to heart, he asked again in confusion.
If possible, I don't want to give up the Roman Imperial City easily, but if I want to build this place into a war fortress, it will require the work of countless generals.
Why do many countries fail to develop after receiving advanced technologies from later generations?
The reason is that there are not enough craftsmen.
If you want to vigorously develop infrastructure, craftsmen and drawings are indispensable.
"First order people to build enough steel, cement and soil to build the city wall, and then talk about other things." After thinking for a moment, Ying Tian said in a low voice.
Rome was different from the Qin city in that it was not besieged. This was an indispensable reason why he was able to sneak into Rome unimpeded in the past.
I have been busy these days and have not had time to build the city wall.
"As ordered."
Zhang Han nodded lightly, without any hesitation, waved his hand and left with his men.
He had a premonition that war was about to break out. Before that, the defensive offensive must be completed. Only in this way can he be invincible.
"It's a pity that there are no time travelers around me. I don't know how far other countries have developed. I can't fully believe what Alexander Yun says. They are not of my race and their minds must be different."
Ying Tian jumped onto the chariot with a slight leap, looking into the distance with long eyes, his heart became extremely complicated.
In the past few days, Alexander Yun told a lot of news about future generations, but he only listened to it and did not take it seriously.
Even though the Romans were as docile as dogs now, if given the chance, they would definitely rebel without hesitation. Ying Tian had no doubt about this.
On the surface he is calm and relaxed, but secretly he is extremely vigilant, always on guard against the Romans to prevent them from being tricked secretly.
"It's a pity that Da Qin is really far away. It would be great if we could mobilize a group of manpower from Xianyang City." Ying Tian couldn't help but sigh.
After years of development in Great Qin, the number of craftsmen has reached an extremely terrifying level. However, it is difficult to solve the problem of distant water and close fire, so we can only select a group of people to train them.
Ying Tian left the palace and came to the outskirts of the Roman castle. He walked on the streets with interest and looked around. This was the first time he left the castle.
Compared with Great Qin, this place lags far behind. There are no schools, no libraries, and no medical clinics. Ordinary people live like dogs.
There are many people on the street, working bare-chested, and houses are rising one after another.
There is also a group of people outside the city responsible for opening up the loess.
The area of the Roman castle was not very large, probably only about half of Xianyang City. Ying Tian specially ordered people to expand the area ten times.
Since the number of soldiers under his command was not large, he was unable to control the Romans in other city-states. The only way was to put these people under his nose.
Many Romans were naturally dissatisfied and felt that Ying Tian was too domineering, but under the threat, they could only give in.
As soon as Alexander Yun is in Ying Tian's hands, Ying Tian will be able to check and balance him.
After Ying Tian walked around the castle, he felt a little uninterested, so he simply took the people back to the palace.
The inside and outside of the Roman Castle can be said to be one world after another. The level gap here is countless times more obvious than in the east.
Regarding this, Ying Tian had no desire to change.
One day Alexander Yun will be killed, and then all of Rome will disappear. Why waste that time?
"See Your Majesty."
When Ying Tian returned to the palace, several Roman princesses said sweetly, and hurriedly stepped forward to undress and untie Ying Tian, their expressions full of respect.
