Early the next morning, Li Kou woke up from freezing.

There was a brazier in the house, but Li Kou knew the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Before he fell asleep, he had to open a gap in the window.

The cold morning breeze poured through the cracks, and the edge of the window shook on the poles and made a duo sound.

Li Kou sat on the quilt for a while, and thought of the arrangements after the establishment of the village.

He is a modern person, not to mention that his ideas and concepts are incompatible with the people of this era, and there are too many inconveniences in life alone.

Li Kou thought that he had seen a traverser who could be completely integrated with a foothold in the traversal text, and he was quite envious of others.

He went to the back kitchen last night to see it.

The Song Dynasty did have the concept of stir-frying, but there were too few seasonings, and the taste of stir-fried vegetables was not as good as that of a fly restaurant.

"I really envy the protagonists who say that the tasteless dishes are 'pure and natural and taste good'." Li Kou sighed.

Outside of eating is to live, he has studied in the magic capital, has also been to Yangcheng for internships, and has also spent winter in Xuzhou, the depression of the magic capital, the humid heat of Yangcheng, the cold of Xuzhou winter without heating, he has a way to deal with it, at least there is an electric blanket This artifact can be used, and there is electric heating for some luxury. There is floor heating in the hometown, and you don't even need to wear a padded jacket if you don't go out in winter, and there is a big stove available in the countryside.

But what are the things that can be used indoors to keep out the cold in this day and age?

Oh, and the inn also has a fire ondol.

Coal can also be used in ondols.

But this is not enough to withstand the bitter cold.

What's more, he hasn't used the kang for many years, and the smell of soot is too big to adjust the temperature on the kang.

In addition to food and shelter, there is also a military coat to wear, but this is not a long-term solution, he has observed the clothes worn by people in this era, of course, rich and noble families have fur fur available in winter, what do ordinary people wear?

Li Kou secretly touched the clothes of the innkeepers, two layers of coarse cloth wrapped in a layer of grass.

There is no convenience for food, clothing and housing, and travel is a big problem.

Dignitaries and nobles have carriages to ride, but carriages without springs can be comfortable?

It is possible to ride a horse, but horses were a scarce commodity in the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Eat, I'm afraid it will take a year and a half to grow rich vegetables, and there are thousands of acres of river valley land to be enough for a village to eat and drink. To live, you have to endure the use of fire kang, which requires the initial industrialization of coal before it can be provided. Li Kou thought secretly, "Wear, don't pay attention to so much, but always keep out the cold, I have some cotton seeds in this warehouse, which are some people in the village who went to the Western Regions to pick cotton, brought back and tried to plant in the dry land, but this cotton seed is from the Western Regions, and now the Western Regions do not know which force is in the hands, not to mention that the Hexi Corridor has been cut off by the Western Xia and Tubo, and if you want to plant cotton, you must first go through the Western Regions." It's easy to do without springs, you can make reeds, you can absorb shocks, but you need to improve the quality of steel first. What's more difficult is the road problem, the official road of the Song Dynasty is not as good as the village road after a thousand years, even if there is a carriage, it can also shock the people in the car - there are mules and horses, animal husbandry does not develop and there is no power - I know that the principle of the steam engine is a kettle, but where do I know how to make a kettle into a steam engine? ”

After this calculation, Li Kou only came to one conclusion: "There must be someone!" ”

A large number of agricultural people are needed to open mountains and cultivate land, a large number of reserve people are also needed to grow cotton, and people are even more needed to develop preliminary industries, and road construction can only rely on a large number of people. But this is only the initial demand, the population has, not necessarily talent, to improve the population into a talent group, but also need education, only education can transform the ancients into people, and even talents.

"Not to mention how much investment is needed in the future to cultivate a small initial industrial scale, the people and money needed for early development are a huge number." Li Kou sighed and leaned on the bedside and thought, "But having people does not mean that you can be transformed into talents, you must first manage people, and then train people, I am just a small person stationed in the village, do not say presumptuously, can lead thousands of people, if it exceeds this upper limit, I am afraid that it will be very tight, and the ability is insufficient, so I have to study." If a village is not organized, how can the county be governed? Why do counties and counties make rules for the world? Well, you have to teach the world to obey my rules—I don't want to live my life in the old rules, and then my children and grandchildren will be killed by the barbarians as slaves. ”

He leaned back in a different position—the kang under him was a little cold, the air in the room was cold, and the quilt couldn't withstand half of his body's cold—he calculated: "If you want to gather a large number of people, you can also engage in business." It's just that businessmen are big, and they have to keep the management of officials, not to mention that it is not my wish to become big with business, and I don't have the ability, so I can only hand over the business to others, and I will manage people. In order to educate a group of talented people who can establish initial industrialization, it is necessary to have the right to speak, whether it is to write books and speak or to engage in experimental fields, there are many irresistible risks, and even the risks are almost 100 percent inevitable, after all, the ancient rulers were not fools. ”

So what to do?

"Now I'm alone, and if I want to get a foothold, I have to be part of them. There must be at least one identity, and with this identity, the leading party can only be realized as a test field. Li Kou was a little worried, "Then I have to try my best to stand among the rulers, and I am not the soul of the prince and grandson, so I have to follow their rules first-the imperial examination?" Tsk, I have to use this stupid method, but this is not safe, to achieve great things, this process can be accelerated, then we have to find loopholes, what loopholes are available in this imperial examination? ”

There is only one sentence to think about.

Let's start with a down-to-earth foothold in this era.

If you want to do great things, Shinong business and commerce are indispensable, and it is difficult to integrate these people to cultivate talents for initial industrialization.

"It's difficult to do it, do you have to be like the ancients, wronged yourself to live in an era when materials are not abundant, the atmosphere is very uncivilized, and life is particularly heartwarming?" Li Kou said to himself, "No! If you are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and you can only eat instant noodles, then you can strive to reach the level of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. ”

His ambition for the time being was a little bit of a burden based on the apprehension that the barbarians would conquer the civilized people.

But most of them still want to live a small life where their material life is not so warm.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Kou was sleepy again.

Seeing that the sky was already bright and white outside the window, Li Kou had no choice but to get up.

He also likes to sleep in, but knows how important breakfast is.

The kettle on the brazier boiled a pot of water, and after washing, he took a box of millet porridge, and ate some of the two vacuum-packed boiled eggs.

It's getting dark, and the government shouldn't restrict him from wandering around the streets, right?

As soon as he went out, he saw Zhang Dahu eating in the lobby with a smell of alcohol.

A large bowl of hot soup with a few pieces of fat floating on it, as well as a plate of pickles and two cooking cakes.

That is, steamed bread, but the steamed bread of this era has filling.

Zhang Dahu stopped and glanced at the shopkeeper, he beckoned to Li Kou and invited Li Kou to breakfast.

What's in this guy's deal?

Li Kou wants to see what other plans he has.

Sitting down at the table next to him, Li Kou looked at Zhang Dahu and didn't speak.

You said.
