Gonggong Wu, who was standing behind, felt that he was about to merge with the quaint tree. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The person who had been listening to the other road was getting farther and farther away, and Wu Shulai's face was still obscure, and he still stood behind the tree for a long time.

Gina became more and more silent day by day, but fortunately, she did not mention the first words again.

It's a pity that Vina saw it in her eyes and was anxious, and she didn't dare to come out with her so that her master could worry about it. Even if she was looking for a gap to persuade a sentence or two, but looking at Gina, she still didn't mention it with a bit or two of luck.

Qianlong Ye and his party went from north to south, I don't know if they had an unpleasant experience of going to the temple, and then everyone collected their thoughts, not always thinking about the places of interest along the way. Although the spring breeze in March is the time when it is warm and cold, it can barely be regarded as a hurry.

Stuck in the carriage all day long, Concubine Rong looked at the scenery outside and became a topic. Except for a few times when he was busy with government affairs, the emperor was very considerate, and most of them gossiped with her to relieve boredom.

Not all of them are spacious pipes, and occasionally groups of peasants with big pigtails pass sideways.

Iparhan glanced at the ground that was still freezing hard, and asked with confusion, "I'm afraid it's not time to cultivate yet?" ”

"Well, I have to go on in August. And it's this time, and their direction is clearly to hit the inner city and come out...... "Lord Qianlong is sure that this solar term is not the time to cultivate at all."

Iparhan wanted to say that there was double cropping rice, but because he couldn't remember whether this high-end species was in the Qing Dynasty, and he was even more unsure of how the climate of the place he was passing through was adapting to, so Concubine Rong knew the times and obediently closed her mouth and didn't say anything.

Wu Shulai knew a lot of things before entering the palace, and now listening to the two masters, he can also say two words when he sits on the front wheel. "My lord is right, it's still early to farm. The servants looked at these peasants as if they were ploughers, but more like they had come to the city to work as part-time workers to support their families. ”

That's right, most of them are bare-handed in the past, although they are in groups, and occasionally there are one or two who look at the guys on their backs, and Iparhan can't recognize it, but he can also preliminarily determine that those two must be craftsmen.

This may be the prototype of a relatively early migrant worker, Rong Concubine Niangniang asked a few more words on a whim: "That's just a coolie, how can you order a craft and don't want to make a living in the town, it's not good to make some money for a long time?" ”

Wu Shulai smiled: "Mrs. doesn't know, this town is so big, and the craftsmanship of the family within a radius of dozens of miles is good." That is, if you are a newcomer, you don't know, and you can't rent a storefront at all. When you have a buddy, someone will naturally come to the door. Besides, people who don't look forward to a good harvest in their fields all year round, even if they have a little craftsmanship, can't bear to give up all their crops. ”

Saying this, it reminded Wu Shulai of what happened when he was a child.

At the beginning, the family lived more than the upper and lower than the bottom, and the family was also supported by a few acres of fertile land. It's a pity that the heavenly palace doesn't open its eyes, it's either waterlogging or drought, and there are more people who can't eat for more than a year, and they can't starve to death in the empty yard, so they have to beg for food in Beijing.

Now think about it, how tragic it was along the way back then, just think about it yourself. There is no need to talk to the masters, I have been a great eunuch for so many years, and I still know a little about Lord Qianlong.

Of course, there is no emperor who is happy to see that his dynasty has a time when the people are not happy. So what should be said is said, what should not be said and what cannot be said, even if you think about it, you swallow it with your saliva.

After asking a few more detailed questions, Iparhan realized that at this time, cattle were still relatively scarce, so even limited land would occupy and consume a lot of manpower and material resources.

It's a complete waste, Iparhan's previous life The manors and farmers of the United States, after the end of the use of slaves, the various estates can rely on new tools and vehicles to operate.

No wonder a great man said: Science and technology are the primary productive forces.

The state of the male ploughing and female weaving in the Qing Dynasty is completely imaginable, and it takes a lot of manpower. But there is no way, you still have to eat, plus the businessmen are low, even if they are born in a peasant family in the officialdom, they can be a little more noble than ordinary businessmen.

Concubine Rong has no way to understand why there are people who are so poor and ambitious.

"Master, why are merchants in a humble position, and the silver in their hands is also accumulated with hard work. What's more, it shouldn't be better to do their own job than to trap most of the people in the land. ”

"For example, these ten people divided three acres of fertile land, and everyone was poor. Why can't you let one person come out and concentrate on raising cattle, if you can raise them this year, there will be more and more cattle, and there will not be so many people to work and cultivate, right? ”

Lord Qianlong didn't take Concubine Ai's inquiry to heart, and laughed: "Are you still stubborn with the 'silver theory' that day?" ”

Of course, it can also be said that Iparhan tried his best to ignore the disapproval in the emperor's tone and nodded.

"It's as simple as you think, don't say it again in the future. Farming is the source of long-term peace and stability of people's livelihood, and the business is to make some money, but if everyone rushes to it, who will work on the cultivated fields left? ”

I'm afraid that long-term stability is the key, right?

Concubine Rong somewhat understands why the germination of the petty bourgeoisie that began to appear at the end of the Ming Dynasty has been stifled.

Iparhan glanced out the window, thinking that there was a long way to go, so we might as well talk about it: "How can you flock to it, in the final analysis, the people take food as the sky." When the time comes, 'Chang'an rice is expensive', are you still afraid that there will be no one to cultivate the fertile land? ”

"If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world. Even if the people can't understand it, aren't there still the old men of the government. The merchants have enriched the treasury, and you are still worried that there will be no money to encourage farming? ”

Qianlong Ye didn't joke this time, he didn't echo it, but it was better than listening to Concubine Rong tell a joke at the beginning.

Iparhan still remembers the sign that the harem of the Qing Dynasty is not allowed to interfere in politics, so he seems to be puzzled and said that it was just the last time.

It's good that the emperor can hear it at all, and the days will be long in the future, even if it won't annoy the emperor now. But it was hard to guarantee that he would be troublesome in the future, so Concubine Rong silently decided on a step-by-step method.

There is not so much attention outside, so the princes and ministers who follow Hu usually sit at the same table during the meal. For example, Fu Lun must have accompanied the emperor to talk about government affairs, and he seized the opportunity to mention the youngest son who came with the fifth elder brother.
