East of the city, Guilanfang.

Lin Xiuyuan and Wuji found a clean inn at random and stayed on the spot.

After eating the food sent by the shopkeeper, they washed up and went back to the house to rest.

Nothing was said all night.

......

"How... Did you find it?"

The tone of the yin and yang strange tone did not change, and the dark hall was as usual.

"Humble... Humble duty deserves death, humble duty deserves death, and please raise your noble hand and give the villain a little more time, villain, villain..."

A crying cry for mercy echoed in the hall, and a figure fell to the ground, prostrate on the cold floor, and large drops of sweat soaked his official hat.

In the past three months, the factory directors of the East and West No. 2 factories have changed batch after batch, but there has been no progress in finding Wuji.

The rain fields that originally boasted of Haikou were no longer found.

Huo Ji's voice gradually became quieter, and at last it was almost like a mosquito, and the hall fell into a dead silence again.

A sense of depression that was enough to make people mad rushed towards Hodge like a tidal wave, wanting to drown him in the water.

Lonely and helpless, Hodge felt as if his soul had been pulled out of his body, and his brain was in chaos.

He wanted to struggle, and the instinct to survive urged him.

Then, to no avail, the body seemed to no longer belong to him, and the frantically beating brain gave orders like crazy, but in the past, the various organs that obeyed the brain's words and subordinates collectively rebelled, and turned a deaf ear to the brain's commands.

'No, no... Country... Division, no—'

With the last daring roar from Huo Ji's soul, his body shuddered violently, and his breathing stopped abruptly, and there was no more movement.

"Drag it on, as before. The order of indifference was given in the empty hall.

After a long time, Huo Ji's body was still lying on the ground, and no one else came to the main hall to collect his body.

As the sun moved, a glimmer of light filtered through the cracks in the small, closed windows, skimming over Hodge's chest.

A reflected silver light was fleeting.

......

"How?"

Walking on the crowded street, Wuji turned his head to look at Lin Xiuyuan.

The latter was delighted to eat a string of sugar gourds, crumbs of syrup sticking to the corners of his mouth, almost like smeared flaming red lips.

"How's that? Almost. ”

Lin Xiuyuan said casually, he is neither an expert nor a saint, he can't see the problems of society, and he is not interested in seeing problems and solving them.

Lin Xiuyuan is not from this world after all, and the purpose of his coming here is just to complete the task.

"Almost? You mean it's the same as where you live?"

"Not really, I don't live in a place that's easy to say now, but I used to be similar to you. ”

It's not the same, it's all feudal society, but one has true qi and the other doesn't. The eldest brother of productivity does not talk about the second brother.

"Whether it is prosperous or decaying, it is always the common people who suffer. ”

Lin Xiuyuan met Wuji's gaze and casually pointed to the west gate of Fucheng.

"Didn't you see it yesterday? The rice shops with a price of ten cents a bucket are all closed. ”

Before the national teacher became the master of Beijing, the annual income of an ordinary peasant family with 100 acres of cultivated land in the prefecture was about 10 taels to 20 taels after deducting taxes.

Usually one tael of silver is converted into 1,000 copper coins, which is consistent.

Ten taels of silver is at least enough for an ordinary farmer family of five to eat rice.

If you're lucky, you can occasionally eat another meat dish, or go down to the restaurant for a meal during the New Year's holidays.

However, since the national division entered the Beijing division and began to operate, the rebel army has increased year by year, and the war has gradually developed from small fights to large-scale battles.

Wars are raging across the country, and the price of rice is rising every year.

Wars kill people, and when they die, they plough the land less. There are fewer people arriving the land, food production falls, and more people die. And so on, vicious training.

Now that the price of rice in a state capital is so rising, you can imagine how miserable the life of the people is in other remote or war-torn places.

Even before the national teacher came, an ordinary farmer with a family of five with 100 acres of cultivated land, after paying all kinds of taxes, only ten taels of income a year, barely enough to eat and wear, and there may not be any surplus grain at the end of the year.

Once the harvest is not good and disasters are frequent, ordinary people simply have no ability to resist risks.

The government does not open warehouses to release grain, and there is only a dead end waiting for them.

Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer, nothing more than that.

"Wait, you said that you used to be similar to us, but now it's hard to say?

The brain of martial arts training is not necessarily full of muscles, no, Wuji immediately grasped the key point of Lin Xiuyuan's words just now.

"I can't say it's completely solved, but it's certainly much better than yours. ”

Lin Xiuyuan nodded, he felt that since there was such a thing as true qi in this world, maybe it could be transformed and used to improve the productivity of Cangwu Kingdom.

"The best way to solve the problem of productivity is to solve it. ”

"Productivity?"

Wuji, who had not gone through Blue Star's nine-year compulsory education, looked confused, and he couldn't quite understand this new term.

"Yes, productivity. ”

"If you think about it, you now produce about one stone of grain per acre of land, and it takes a family of five to cultivate 100 acres. ”

"If you succeed in increasing productivity and increasing the yield to two or three stones per acre, and increasing the efficiency of arable land, one person can be responsible for hundreds of acres of land. Do you say that the problem of the people eating has been solved? ”

"Of course, the proportion of taxes cannot be raised, or even reduced, so that quantity wins. ”

Lin Xiuyuan racked his brains to find out all the knowledge he had learned in high school two years ago, and roughly instilled it in Wuji.

Anyway, Lin Xiuyuan can't stay here for too long, it's great that he can give Wuji a general direction, and the actual implementation still needs Wuji's alliance to explore it with him.

Only by practice can the truth be produced, and adapting measures to local conditions is an eternal truth.

No theory can be perfectly executed in another world.

Orange is orange in Huainan and Huaibei is in the north.

......

Lin Xiuyuan hastily instilled a pass in Wuji, and when he saw the latter fall into deep thought, he stopped talking. Continue shopping at a leisurely pace and enjoy the exotic atmosphere that is different from the blue star.

Seeing that he was about to walk from the east of the city to the west of the city, Wuji finally woke up from his own world and solemnly hugged his fist at Lin Xiuyuan.

"Thank you Lin Shaoxia for your teachings, Wuji is unforgettable. ”

"Didn't you say don't call Lin Shaoxia? Besides, I didn't do anything, it's just lip service, and you can't do it if you want me to do it. ”

Lin Xiuyuan hurriedly dragged Wuji's hand to stop the other party from bending over, he felt that these things were nothing.

In the past three months, Wuji has known everything about him, said everything, and did not hide it at all. The knowledge and kung fu on his body were almost wiped out by him.

It's just because Lin Xiuyuan saved his life.

This kind of upright man is almost extinct in Blue Star, and Lin Xiuyuan admires them from the bottom of his heart.
