Chapter 1530 My Tang Dynasty no longer keeps horses!
At this time, Queen Changsun remembered.
It's probably because I didn't look carefully that I didn't notice it and didn't remember that the test ride was taking place in the yard - and the test ride in the yard can only test whether the bike can work properly.
The operation is "good" or "bad", but the specific performance cannot be measured!
Realizing this problem, Empress Changsun was stunned and looked at Li Er in surprise, "But didn't Sheng'er say that this thing can take three steps with one step?"
"No!"
Li Er waved his hand on the spot, "This bicycle can take three steps with one step. That was what the traitor said at the beginning. As a result... I just received the letter. This bicycle can actually take more than ten steps with one step!"
"Guanyin Maid, do you know what this concept is?"
"You can walk three steps in one step. This bicycle is only for the future. I, the Tang Dynasty, will no longer raise horses..."
What Li Er said is relatively certain, because... if cars are really built, there is a high probability that China will not raise horses on a large scale. Of course, this is not to say that raising horses is not good. In fact, raising one
Pets that are strong enough to be human but not harmful to others are very helpful for the growth of the next generation of China, but... China has a characteristic, that is, there are too many fierce people...
Having too many fierce people will lead to the outbreak of chaos in some historical stages, but in the same way, it can often create a long-term peace - if there is great unification, there will be peace, and if there is peace, there will be prosperity, and if there is prosperity, the population will skyrocket.
Although China's current population is not that large, it can even be said to be vast and sparsely populated.
Hundreds of years of conquests in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the terror and chaos in the late Sui Dynasty reduced a large number of China's population.
But... if you use your brain a little, or even without using your brain, as long as you understand some historical common sense, it is not difficult to understand that since the great unification is rebuilt, the population will soon rise rapidly due to positive expectations. And once the population rises sharply, what will be the next step?
What will happen is something that can be imagined. At that time, the per capita cultivated land will obviously...
When that time comes, no matter how hard the court tries to crack down on land annexation, there will eventually be a shortage of food per capita. In this case, the precious land will naturally not be used to raise horses if it can be used.
Raising horses is related to national defense, so of course it is of great importance, but... China is a farming country after all. Although Li Er has been dealing with Hu people for many years and has a lot of martial arts, he is not really a Hu after all, and he also knows the Han people
The combat effectiveness of the infantry. Therefore...
War horses are very important, but they are not strictly necessary, at least not absolutely necessary.
Since war horses are not absolutely necessary, and at the same time, there is a high probability that China will have the technology of cars within a certain period of time, even if it is considered late, within one generation. And with cars...
According to what Li Sheng said...
Although Li Er is also very excited, after all, the properties of this thing are much stronger than horses. The key is that it is invulnerable, and more importantly, in the case of invulnerability, it can also be strengthened by inserting a more powerful internal combustion engine to maintain extremely high power.
moving speed.
With such a powerful thing, it is true that it doesn't matter if you have horses or not. But... although Li Er has no special preference for horses, if he really doesn't raise horses in the future, then young people in China won't ride horses...
Li Er, who was born in the Guanlong area, knows very well about martial arts education. Although there are many strong generals in this area, as far as children are concerned, there is actually no child who is born with a hard-working winter practice of Sanjiu.
During the summer training period, they were often angered by the barbarians, lost their land and had no food to eat, and were forced to join the army and practice martial arts.
This is most of the cases, and in other cases... it usually involves riding a horse. For those young people who have a better background and are able to avoid the invasion of barbarians, martial arts training usually starts with riding a horse - Guan
Children in the Long area are no different from children in other places. Although they are interested in swords and guns because they are ignorant, they are often unable to adapt to the rigors of military training.
But riding a horse is different!
Continuous training in martial arts with swords and guns is something most young people can't stand, even when Li Er was a child. But if you switch to riding a horse and traveling around for hunting, the acceptance level will be much higher, and you may even become addicted...for example, in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The famous Yameni Cao Cao in the last years, although he was also a second-generation official with a long history of peace, it stands to reason that he was probably the same as the young celebrities who came from the family of the fourth generation and the third prince in that era, and he also followed the path of literati.
But Cao Cao did not become that kind of person in the end. On the one hand, he received a good literati education, but on the other hand, he also retained the martial ethics of a middle-schooler.
Reading in spring and winter, hunting in summer and autumn!
It can be said that horse riding is not a required course for practicing martial arts, but it is often the starting point of the careers of outstanding warriors in China. The feeling of doing repetitive movements in the yard is definitely completely different from wandering and hunting in the wilderness.
And now...
Although Li Er is an ancient person and does not have as high a cognitive level as modern people who have been enriched by various philosophical achievements, he still knows the importance of independent travel for martial arts education. To put it more bluntly, that is...
Without horses, it seems that only one of the arms of the Tang Dynasty has changed. From a macro perspective, it is just an update of military construction. But thinking from a more comprehensive and detailed perspective, this also means that the people want to travel far away.
, it becomes extremely difficult.
To walk a hundred miles, people need to carry three days' worth of food, and sometimes water - because their mobility is extremely limited on two legs. Can people find water in the wild or ask for water?
It's something that's completely hard to say.
And such a situation will inevitably lead to a closed atmosphere in the countryside, so over time, those who engage in land annexation will have room to make trouble!
Once farmers have an economic foundation and can move freely, the means available to annexing families will be greatly reduced.
Of course, Li Er would not be too interested in anything for entertainment.
Even if this thing is related to sports, it is not enough to make His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty so concerned.
but!
What Li Er really cares about is the above-mentioned place. People can move around freely, which reduces the operating space of mergers and acquisitions. At the same time, it can liberate more farmers to enter the commodity economic order - because of bicycles, farmers' families
If you grow something, you can only eat it yourself, but with the convenience of traveling, you can exchange money and further improve your life - this is what Li Er really cares about!
I came here specifically to find Queen Changsun just for this reason!
