Mu Rongshan was a little stunned, thought about it carefully, and said: "This is really true, there is indeed this problem, it originally came from ancient times to unify the north and the south, it is not a problem of people, but a problem of things." ”

Qian Jin thought for a while and said: "Actually, the impact of food on people is very great, do you remember that Japanese women who come to China to make money in various entertainment venues have any problems with their teeth." ”

Mu Rongshan immediately said: "What else can it be, they all have problems with their teeth, buck teeth and complete irregularity, I am embarrassed to talk about them." ”

The two smiled lewdly at each other, and it seemed that by the middle of the 21st century, Japan's high-income country system had finally collapsed, and the congenital deficiencies of its small islands had finally emerged.

Qian Jin said: "In fact, this kind of dental problem is caused by diet, which has been recognized by the world, well, before Li Qianqian sent back some information about North Korea, you know, last year, North Korea's foreign trade, what was the largest business with Japan?" ”

Mu Rongshan said without thinking: "Ginseng? ”

Chinese talk about North Korea, that is, Korean ginseng, a thing that exports foreign exchange fist products, of course, all kinds of long-legged girls in the northern stick country are also due, but this is not good.

"That's not right," Mu Rongshan's reaction was also quick, and said: "If it was ginseng, you kid wouldn't laugh so obscenely, well, what is it, it won't be a woman." ”

Qian Jin said: "It's a stone mill, and between the transactions, a large number of copper coins made by the Ming Dynasty are used, which is still very amazing." ”

Mu Rongshan asked, "Stone mill? ”

Qian Jin said: "Of course, it is a stone mill, oh, you should know, it is a big stone used in the countryside to crush wheat and shell it." ”

Mu Rongshan was puzzled: "Why does Japan even have to import this thing, aren't you shaking me?" ”

Qian Jin said: "Do you think the technical content of stone grinding is very low? ”

Mu Rongshan thought about it carefully, for a long time, his understanding of ancient times was limited to the ancients in various elegant films and television dramas, and he really didn't know much about them.

Qian Jin said: "I still remember the village we went to before, the little children basically have no clothes for both men and women, the children of a few years old are running bare-chested, even if they are landlords, they are just better than other people to eat, the landlord has a well, usually locked, as his own property, in the north, the well is almost a rich property, because the technology of drilling a well is not so simple, the same way, the stone mill seems simple, but wants to cut it tightly, just a round, It has to be a very wear-resistant material, and you think that whether it is technology or tools, it can be done in Japan, which is still very backward? Not only stone grinding, but in fact, even the basic technology of this era ......"

Mu Rongshan frowned, he was a little disapproveful, and said, "But Japanese katana, well......"

Qian Jin said: "I don't understand militarily, but economically, Japan's samurai are a very inefficient expendable, for a regime, it is like chicken ribs, that is, under the protection of Japan's special terrain, the lack of foreign enemies, such a loose form, the breeding of strange things." ”

Mu Rongshan sighed and said: "It seems that it is necessary to strengthen learning and improve some posture levels, film and television dramas are really unreliable." ”

Qian Jin said: "Well, after eating, just go to other places to do research." ”

The two of them ate slowly, although the fried dishes were unpalatable, but since they were going to conduct some research, they would see what kind of changes they had brought to the people of this new time and space after a year of travel, and whether their various new policies and products would satisfy the masses.

Since the great man's sentence, there is no right to speak without investigation, after such a deafening words sounded, in the Celestial Empire, there is no longer a stupid person who dares to speak nonsense directly without investigation, therefore, what kind of plan do you want to implement, if everyone knows, you are simply in the office to pat your head to come up with it, basically the support rate and pass rate will be very low, and if a person goes down to the grassroots, go to the corresponding place to visit, and then go to nonsense, Anyway, it's impossible for people to really verify anything with you, so don't you let you talk nonsense?

This move, who wouldn't, but in this era, everyone is much more serious, and there is no big problem with the imperial capital at this time, at most, it is just a different attitude towards some individuals and certain forces, but in the direction of general interests, everyone is very the same, that's all.

When paying the bill, Qian Jin took out two silver dollars, looked at the old man, and said: "Old man, the new money newly minted by our government is not clear, I am from other places, and I don't know." ”

The old man said: "Second master, don't make me laugh, when I look at you two, you are not ordinary people, I am afraid that you are from the imperial capital." ”

Qian Jin nodded and said, "How do you say it?" ”

The old man said: "Since last year, this Tianjin Wei has indeed improved, I am also from Cangzhou, and the business is very good, I am afraid that the two of you are the military master who has just come out of the army." ”

Although the two of them are not big-shouldered and round-waisted, they are relatively good compared to the people of this world, and they are naturally taller, Qian Jin said: "We are merchants, come here to see if it is suitable for real estate." ”

The old man sighed with emotion: "If you want to say that it is better to be your military master, follow the court, this time, you see...... There is a military master over there, after getting the silver from the army, he bought a field, and he is now a master in this Tianjin Wei'an family. ”

The two looked along, and indeed since last year, they artificially created a group of landlords, yeoman farmers, and veterans who originally followed Li Zicheng in the southern and northern wars, in order to appease them and increase the factor of stability and unity in the society, they really gave a sum of silver, of course, the use of this money did not disappoint them.

In arranging for these veterans to be discharged, Li Xiangqian and a group of demobilized soldiers took great pains to show off the old squad leaders in the past, greeted these people with warmth, and issued a special discharge order stamped with the seal of the Ming Military Department, asking the local government to take care of them, and before sending them off, they held a special meeting to ask them to make good use of the retirement money.

This effect is good, except for a small number of sperm worm brains, take the money to some places to spend a lot of wine, most of the others are honestly home to buy land to live, of course, there are also people who know that their families have long been dead, and they don't want to go back to be sad, so they buy land in Hebei or nearby places to live.

In any case, according to Qian Jin's understanding, this money has formed a positive feedback, and many people have become small landlords or yeoman farmers with the funds in their hands after arriving in the countryside, and they can basically become good landlords by taking advantage of the future population growth and the opportunity of the elders' meeting to sell seeds and fertilizers.

Of course, Qian Jin would prefer them or their descendants to go out, if nothing else, if they go back to ancient times and still can't turn China into a great empire all over the world, then they will come back in vain.

The most important part is still flickering.

At this time, Mu Rongshan suddenly said: "It's also a good deal to be a soldier and eat food." ”

The old man said again and again: "I don't dare to think about it, I don't dare to think about it, there are peaceful days now, and the little old man doesn't dare to think about it, but I really can't think that I can get so much money for fighting for the old man." ”

At this time, a group of villagers suddenly rushed over from a distance, all holding various farm tools, and walked over, the two looked at each other, and Qian Jin asked: "Old man, what kind of people are that group of people, enough to swagger." ”

"Hey," said the old man, "it's not for the water yet. ”

"Oh," Qian Jin turned his head and whispered to Mu Rongshan: "Wheat grouting, it needs a lot of water, don't think about it, it's a fight for water." ”

Mu Rongshan was suspicious for a while, and said: "The sea is next to it, ah, no, Tianjin has the Haihe River and the Grand Canal." ”

Qian Jin walked in front and said slowly: "The Ming Dynasty maintained its rule, the core is landlord politics, stronghold politics, plus the transportation of southern rice to the north, although there is no such thing as hardcore sorghum, but you know, in the middle of the period, there was such a thing as horse politics, that is, the northerners raised horses, the southerners produced rice, and evolved cavalry troops in batches, it is conceivable that the Ming Dynasty was very cautious about the use of canal water when it ruled normally, and the south-to-north water diversion in the 21st century was forgotten?" ”

Mu Rongshan thought for a while and said, "You can't use canal water for watering, what kind of water is used." ”

Qian Jin said: "It's nothing more than drinking water. ”

Mu Rongshan said: "Isn't that just a weapon fighting water, do you want to call the troops and stop it." ”

"What to stop, I originally came to go to the grassroots, it's good to go and see, in my impression, there are few armed fights in the north, because ......" He said secretly in his heart, because they all directly learned from loud horses like Liu Liu Liu and Liu Qi, and robbed them directly.

The south is a great plain, so it can't be hidden, and the north is full of high mountains, and there are bad people and bandits in the mountains, and negative energy has run away to become bandits, and there are even whole villages that pay for the deeds of "cultivating" excellent bandits.

Therefore, after Qian Jin and Mu Rongshan came to their destination, they saw such a scene.

On both sides of a pavilion, there are a large number of men, and the two sides seem to be confronting, but fortunately, there are not many weapons in their hands, of course, it is also related to an old man in official uniform sitting in the pavilion.

The old man looked left and right, and said slowly: "Fathers and elders, I am here today, talking about the dispute between this Xiaonanhe Village and Xiaobeihe Village over water, and the two sides are not fighting. ”

Both sides seemed to be clamoring and shouting, but after a while, an old man came over and said: "Back to the county master, my village is better this year, and there are a large number of good steel farming tools given by the government, so a few more acres of land will be opened, and the water will naturally be more, but the people of this small Beihe village have stuck a pole horizontally, but said that my family can only use half of the river water, and my family is not allowed to open new land, how unreasonable you say this is." ”

On the opposite side of Xiaobeihe Village, a tall man came out and said: "Shut up, allow your family to open the land, don't you allow my family to open the land, our village will also open up the land this year, can you manage it, the river water belongs to your family, and it belongs to you." ”

The old man suddenly said to the county man: "Master, my family's land, but you can't ignore it if you go to the house to open the land deed and sign a note." ”

The man shouted, "My family has also signed a note on the land, what do you care." ”

The county was also helpless, and said there: "You guys, why didn't you open it in previous years? Didn't you look at the emperor Shengming and exempt your land endowment, so he began to open up wasteland everywhere? ”

The old man and the man didn't dare to speak, but only listened to the county Cheng talking there: "And this water, this day, which one is not the Son of Heaven, it is the mercy of the Son of Heaven to use it for you, and one day, the emperor said, I want the place where the river is built a railway, I see that you are all in vain." ”

Everyone was silent, but there was a young descendant, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and said: "How can there be an emperor in the imperial capital now, and, sir, didn't the railway pass from the south, didn't go to our side." ”

"Shut up, the court is a big deal, you dare to talk about it, I don't know if it's dead or alive, whose family it is."

The county is a little dissatisfied, and a little sad, he was originally a person under the county, but now he is doing this, the reason is of course very simple, the imperial capital suddenly said that taxes are not allowed, and the means that can take the opportunity to make money in the past are less than half, maybe in remote places, you can also rely on the Ding tax or directly cover the news, and still collect the field tax, so that the money collected will naturally go to the top and bottom of the cost.

However, who made him unlucky, at the foot of the imperial capital, Tianjin Wei was an official, and took advantage of the railway project, a large amount of project money has flowed into the hands of the lowest level of labor, so that they have a fat year, naturally, the workers with money do not do anything else, naturally buy land, open up wasteland, but also led to the soaring price of land in Hebei, in the past few years Tartars came to Hebei every few years to sweep, the land price itself is not high, so it is not too outrageous.

But he, the county man, also looked hot, but he couldn't do anything.

"Hmph, since you have found me to mediate, just listen to me, farming by the ditch, you can, but you can't occupy land at will, and the water also depends on the time, okay, you all have one person, come out to draw lots, before the lottery, you have to set up a word as a basis, according to the number of the lottery, who won the day, which day is who will use water, no one will take up more use, understand!"

Qian Jin snorted in a low voice and said, "I didn't expect that it would be such a good way." ”

He whispered to Mu Rongshan: "The working people still have wisdom. ”
