When Zhang Cuishan came to the capital of Zhejiang, he saw a lot of new things, and Zhejiang is an area that is actively industrialized.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang originally produced silk, and Jiangnan weaving was established in these two places. With industrial production, the current situation is that the speed of silkworm production cannot keep up with the production of silk in the factory.

However, silk is an important income for the imperial court, so this year the imperial court asked Jiangsu and Zhejiang to increase the output of silk. To increase production, more silkworms need to be raised, and more silkworms need to be planted.

Therefore, the imperial court proposed to 'change rice to mulberry', change rice fields to mulberry fields, and exempt them from taxes for three years after the change.

When the policy of the imperial court was implemented, the officials at all levels were thinking about how to make a windfall under this national policy, and the best way was to annex the land at a low price, and then they planted mulberry trees themselves, which could make a windfall.

But the peasants were certainly reluctant to sell their land at a low price, because in this era, landless peasants would starve to death.

However, after the national policy, whether it is for political achievements or for wealth, officials naturally want to carry out the policy, so the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions have been in chaos recently.

As soon as Zhang Cuishan got out of the train station, he saw a lot of ragged people called Huazi, and when he passed by the gate of the yamen, there were still many farmers who complained.

Leaving Wudang Mountain, Zhang Cuishan felt for the first time what is called people's livelihood.

Seeing that the capital of Zhejiang was in such chaos, and other places must be even more unbearable, he couldn't help but wonder what was going on.

It's all about 'changing rice to mulberry'.

The imperial court used an incentive system to encourage farmers to complete the national policy, but the officials who implemented it did not care whether the peasants were willing or not, they just wanted to change more rice fields at the minimum cost, and even trampled on the rice fields that had already been planted, forcing the farmers to sell their fields or change their own crops.

As for the peasants who do not farm, they don't care what they eat this year.

This is superficial, but the deeper meaning is the brutal effects of the Industrial Revolution. The emergence of industry is not easy to achieve in a short period of time to change people's habits for thousands of years.

During the Industrial Revolution, in order to produce more wool, there was a "sheep eating man" enclosure movement.

Now in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, in order to produce more silk, it is now 'silkworms eating people', and it is also for land enclosure, but it is not only capital in operation, but also all kinds of corrupt officials who want to make benefits and make political achievements, which is even more barbaric.

Zhang Cuishan came to a friend's house and talked about these things with his friend, but he didn't understand it. According to a friend, the imperial court's policies are very good, but why do good policies make the people's lives miserable? Among them, there are corrupt officials, corrupt officials, and profiteers who are messing around in it.

The world under the mountain is really changing too fast.

Friends also felt that this topic was too heavy, and they couldn't change anything from the small people, so they changed the topic: "You must have learned light skills in Wudang Mountain, why don't you go with me to participate in the running activities, now there are bicycle and light power competitions in the city, you must follow me to participate." ”

"What is a bicycle?" Zhang Cuishan didn't understand.

"You'll find out when you go. ”

Zhang Cuishan originally went down the mountain to play, so he agreed.

The brutality of silkworm cannibalism has a much smaller impact on the inhabitants of the city, because the people in the city do not depend entirely on the land for their livelihood, but on their craft.

The bicycle and internal force competition was initiated by a group of well-fed people who had nothing to do, some of whom were still local martial arts families. Basically, there will be a tournament every half a month, and you can also gamble.

Bicycles are still primitive kinds, all pedaled by strong men, and the speed is not satisfied, and it is still possible to fight with martial arts people.

In this era, many martial arts have been lost, and the rivers and lakes are no longer the same as the previous ones. In the past, many martial arts people came from all over the world, but now the resources for practicing martial arts are concentrated by sects.

Times have changed, and the period in which Zhang Cuishan is now living is the beginning of a great change, which will change the whole world.

Zhang Cuishan stood in the crowd, only to know that the original two-wheeled car was called a bicycle, he carefully observed and found that it was originally through the chain linkage, rolling the wheels forward, but he wondered that the previous cars were side by side wheels, why would the two wheels in the front and rear of the bicycle not fall on the same line?

Asked a friend, my friend didn't know, my friend laughed and said: "It is worthy of being the apprentice of Zhang Zhenren of Wudang Mountain, I haven't thought of this question after looking at it for so long, you thought of it after a few glances, no wonder you are Wudang Zhang Wuxia." ”

In fact, even the people who produce bicycles do not know about this question, which is a very complicated issue, not only about the movement of the bicycle itself, but also about the reason for the cyclist. For now, what I do know is that it's not that the bike won't fall, it's the person controlling the bike that keeps it going. A woman's crisp voice came from behind Zhang Cuishan.

Zhang Cuishan turned his head and felt his heart beat faster.

I saw that the woman who spoke was very good-looking, if she came out of the water hibiscus, and like the cinnamon in the moon, I really couldn't find a better woman than her. Zhang Cuishan knows very few people of the opposite sex, except for the sisters and sisters of the Emei faction who meet several times a year, there are no other women. This woman is different from those women in the Emei faction who abide by the rules, her smile is like a flower, and she is more energetic.

"Idiot, have you seen enough?" Yin Susu saw that Zhang Cuishan was very knowledgeable, so he explained, of course, Zhang Cuishan's handsome appearance is also one of the reasons.

"I'm sorry, it's in Xia Menglang, please forgive me. ”

Seeing Zhang Cuishan's polite and polite manners, Yin Susu was no stranger: "Zhang Wuxia is polite, and the little woman has only studied a little, so she has a lot to say, and it is inevitable to laugh and be generous." ”

"No, no, the girl explained very well. "I don't know what the girl's name is?"

"Yin Susu. ”

The two were destined in their previous lives, and they met again in this life, and it was love at first sight when Wang Ba saw mung beans at the same time. It's just that Zhang Cuishan is more introverted, and he is not as open as Yin Susu, a son of the rivers and lakes.

Yin Susu dared to seduce Zhang Cuishan, but Zhang Cuishan did not dare to cross the line at all.

What a name, the girl is a beautiful person, and her aesthetic knowledge is even more beautiful, Zhang Cuishan feels that the whole person's soul is about to fly.

When a friend saw that Zhang Cuishan could meet a girl when he went out, he was jealous in his heart, shouting that it was unfair, is he handsome?

However, Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu chatted more and more speculatively, and their friends became superfluous people, so they could only find a corner to hide.

Yin Susu is definitely the most knowledgeable girl Zhang Cuishan has ever met, they have a lot of common language, they can talk about poetry and calligraphy, and they can also talk about current affairs and government affairs.

Zhang Cuishan is more and more respectful of the girl in front of him, but he doesn't know that the famous saying of the girl in front of him is 'the more beautiful a woman is, the more she will deceive people', Yin Susu's identity is not simple, she is the daughter of Yin Tianzheng, the leader of the Heavenly Eagle Sect, and Yin Tian is one of the four great Dharma kings of the Ming Sect, which is a crooked way that is incompatible with the famous and decent sect.

The identities of Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu are diametrically opposed, but the hearts of the two of them are very close.
