Everybody can say pretty things.

Shi Yiwen didn't know whether what he said was beautiful or not, he didn't know, but he was telling the truth.

He may not be able to appreciate the disaster caused by the famine, but the compassion in his heart makes him unwilling to sit idly by and watch all this, always hoping that he can do something to change it.

This is not out of kindness, but because for any modern man who has not experienced famine, he will stubbornly believe that he can do something.

Pressurized water wells are just one of them.

After saying this, facing Zhang Juzheng's gaze, Shi Yiwen smiled and did not continue.

It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not.

Importantly...... Pretty things always have to be said.

"Is this what you have in mind?"

Staring at Shi Yiwen, Zhang Juzheng asked rhetorically.

"Hmm,"

In addition to responding lightly, Shi Yiwen said again.

"Shoufu implements changes, for the sake of the common people in the world, and he is soft-spoken in the lower position, and he doesn't dare to worry about the world's major events like Shousuke, so he can only do some small things within his ability, so it is enough."

"What you can, what you can ......"

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Juzheng looked at Shi Yiwen's gaze a little complicated, and he finally knew why Ma Ziqiang and Qi Jiguang appreciated him, not only because of his ability, but more importantly, because of his sincere heart.

Don't want a bounty? Whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that there are really not many people in the world who are willing to do the little things they can do well, and there are not many people like him, who can be so completely inactive.

It's a pity that such people ...... After all, he is not suitable to be an official.

sighed in his heart, looked at Shi Yiwen, Zhang Juzheng smiled, opened the book "Pressurized Water Well Method" and said.

"This well method, you will send someone to the ministry tomorrow, and the imperial court will send it to various places in these days, oh, by the way, and the mold you said, as well as the bidding method, it must be sent,"

Standing up, Zhang Juzheng, who looked solemn, bowed to Shi Yiwen.

"The old man represents the people of the world, thank you for Zhiyuan."

"Shousuke is polite."

Shi Yiwen was accustomed to the thanks of these big people, and then they briefly chatted about some other things, and when chatting, Zhang Juzheng also praised Shi Yiwen's idea of planting cotton in Beizhili, after all, even North Korean and Chinese officials could not ignore the profits of cotton planting.

"The land in the north is inferior, the people grow grain just barely making a living, take out a few acres of land to plant cotton, not only will not affect the rations, but also can sell cotton to supplement the family, the people in the north have many benefits, but it is Jiangnan, the people tend to profit, abandon rice to take mulberry cotton, it is really not conducive to the world, after all, the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River are fertile, the people can get the benefits of planting rice, and now they take mulberry grain, and light rice, it is really a sacrifice for the end, when the north cotton is prosperous, presumably the people of Jiangnan will also return to their own business, so, the people of the world can also be stable."

Unlike Shi Yiwen from the perspective of regaining geographical advantages, Zhang Juzheng is more from the perspective of food, in his opinion, planting cotton in the north is conducive to Jiangnan returning to the old custom of fishing and rice, which is naturally a good thing, in this regard, Shi Yiwen just smiled and responded.

"What Shousuke said is very true."

This is a lie, that is to say, to hear it.

During his few months in Jiangnan, he fully witnessed the Ming Dynasty in this era, especially the urbanization of Jiangnan, where there were hundreds of thousands of weaving and spinning workers in Songjiang alone. There are countless cities with a population of hundreds of thousands, and the emergence of a high degree of urbanization has led to the emergence of a citizen class, which is also the reason for the prosperity of civic culture such as novels. After Jiangnan enters urbanization, it is impossible for them to return to the so-called "land of fish and rice".

How will the highly urbanized Jiangnan and its huge citizen class react to the onslaught of industrial power from the north?

Pick up the hoe again and return to the field, it is obviously impossible, they will be forced to make a living and look for a way to survive in other places, where is the future life of Jiangnan?

Who knows?

After more than half an hour, after Shi Yiwen said goodbye from Zhang's mansion, on the way home, he still couldn't help but think about Jiangnan in his mind, not only about the future of Jiangnan, but also about the possible reaction of Jiangnan in the future.

In the face of competition from the north, the Jiangnan gentry group will definitely react, and what kind of reaction will they make?

Perhaps the Jiangnan gentry clique is not aware of the threat now, but through the study of history, Shi Yiwen knows very well that any progress will be faced with the opposition of conservative forces - the industrialized north and the handicraft south will inevitably clash, and that conflict will inevitably involve the spokesmen of both sides in the court.

Not so good!

Shi Yiwen thought to himself in his heart.

Weak!

This is an unavoidable practical problem, compared with the intertwined Jiangnan gentry group that took hundreds of years to form, its own strength is too weak.

As for the power of the North...... With his eyes half-closed, Shi Yiwen first thought of the few people who are close to him in the DPRK and China now-the British Mansion, Ma Ziqiang, and then ...... Weak!

No, you have to strengthen your strength as soon as possible!

Thinking about it again, Shi Yiwen thought of the pressurized water well, and then muttered to himself.

"It's time to do something about the pressurized well."

In fact, from the very beginning, the reason why he wanted to promote pressurized water wells by sending molds was that Shi Yiwen had his own considerations.

Behind the seemingly selfless on the surface, there are always hidden secrets.

"Strength!"

In front of Wu Cai, Shi Yiwen seemed very direct and did not hide the thoughts of others.

"In comparison, my strength is too weak, even in the next few years, the emerging industrial and commercial groups on both sides of the Lugou River will grow stronger, but it will not be able to change a real problem - our influence has not yet spread to the entire north!"

When Shi Yiwen lamented that his strength was weak, Wu Cai did not speak, and he even reminded the reality of Gongzi's weak strength more than once.

"Indeed, Gongzi, even if we work in Lugou for ten years, in the end, it is nothing more than to win over some lords and local gentry in the capital, and those people are still weak after all."

Looking at Childe, Wu Cai said directly.

"Compared with Jiangnan, it is definitely not comparable, not to mention how many officials from Nanzhili, Zhejiang and other places are in Tianxia Prefecture and County, but how many are there in this Beijing official? We haven't entered other people's eyes yet, and when we enter other people's eyes, I'm afraid there will be constant trouble. ”

The voice was lengthened, and Wu Cai sighed again.

"Don't say it's us, it's the lords of the Jingzhong generation, and in the eyes of those people, it's not enough to see it, so we have to think about this method early."
