Li Chongfu's short trip really shocked him with the information he received.

He obviously saw another world, and he couldn't comment on the quality of this world, but there was one thing he understood.

The power of creation in this world is obviously much greater than that of Chang'an.

It's a wonderful feeling, although he doesn't have any intuitive feelings, and it's just a peep in the tube, but from the words of others, he gets a lot of information.

Originally...... Manpower is the most valuable here, which is completely different from the past, at least at that time, people are the cheapest tools, to some extent, as long as there is a famine, one or two times are enough to buy a manpower, and ...... In order to save money, those things that are reluctant to invest money can be replaced by manpower.

For example, in farming, manpower is obviously more valuable than animals, after all, animals are expensive, not to mention ...... Animals also eat a lot every day, and instead of raising head animals, it is better to divide them into more refined manpower.

Li Chongfu actually knew nothing about this model, but roughly, he understood some of the relationships, which was nothing more than trying his best to build water conservancy and switch to animal power to stabilize agriculture, but a large amount of manpower could be freed, and the freed manpower was then used to weave, make iron, cut wood, and mine coal, and finally produce countless goods, which finally began to circulate again, such as farm tools returned to the hands of farmers, such as clothes to the coal miners, such as swords and equipped soldiers.

And because of the large-scale production, and it is said that the improvement of technology, the number of production has increased, and once a hundred people could weave a hundred pieces of cloth a day, but later it has reached the point of 150 horses, or even 200 horses, and at this time, it is said that there is a problem. That is, the same person, only needs so much cloth, what's the use of keeping the extra cloth? Are those who make cloth hoarding in warehouses? And the weavers who have made more cloth than they need themselves, will they stay at home the next year until the cloth is completely digested?

This is obviously not possible, Mo said that the craftsmen need to make a living, otherwise they are very likely to starve to death, even those merchants who make cloth, and they will never stop working, the only way. Since it is no longer possible to increase consumption locally, then it will be sold to other places, whether it is Jiannan, Jiangnan or Chang'an, or the desert, Bohai, Siam, Baekje, or even Tibet, as long as there is any possibility, these people will rush in.

That's what ...... The people here are different from other places.

Although Li Chongfu is usually submissive. But he is also an extremely intelligent person, and he quickly realizes why almost everyone here seems to be well-versed.

In the past, farmers were strong. What they have to manage is only their own one-third of an acre, at most, that is, to negotiate with the government. As for the government, on the one hand, it is enough to keep an eye on the movements of the imperial court, and on the other hand, it is enough to govern one side.

But here. But it doesn't work, because the people here are both prosperous and lossy, and the only way to maintain their present dignity and their own prosperity is to do everything possible to make the trade possible in any place.

Thus...... Among the books printed, books about local specialties and customs are the hottest, and books about Bohai, Siam, Baekje, and even Tibet and Dashi are also selling hotly. Most of the people in the streets and alleys are not very enthusiastic about the affairs of the one acre and three points of land, and they are not even very interested in the secrets in the palace, and everyone here, as if they have the world in their hearts, is the adjutant of this small inspection department, first introduced some things about Mengjin, and then began to talk endlessly, such as a few family treasures said that there have been Japanese people who have come to do business recently, but they can't get the money.

Li Chongfu couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, it seems that such a thing with the world in mind should be something that the princes of the temple think, but here, it seems that everyone is the prime minister Shangshu who lives in the temple, and he is a boatman, and he can also break a few words about the affairs of Nanzhao Kingdom, Linyi Kingdom and Tianzhu Kingdom.

Li Chongfu found it interesting at first, but then he couldn't help but feel a little chill down his spine.

Because he sensed a very strange kind of popular heart.

For example, if someone mentions the Wa Kingdom, they can't help but appear indignant, if a merchant is killed in the Wa Kingdom, it is said that it was their officers and soldiers who did it, and some say that the Wa people were arrogant and did not follow the rules in business.

This is actually reasonable, after all, the two sides are separated by thousands of miles, and separated by the vast ocean, they don't understand each other, and their customs are different, but ...... It seems that everyone has some kind of resentment about this, Li Chongfu pondered carefully, but he roughly understood that he could understand this kind of psychology, and the interaction with the Japanese people, to put it bluntly, is to do business, but this business wants to be done, how difficult it is, there will naturally be a lot of friction, and for everyone here, any transaction is closely related to them, if the unsalable goods are not sold a little bit, many people may be affected.

Therefore, everyone here seems to have a desire, that is, the caravan of Henan Province, to any place, can be unimpeded, only in this way, can many people be rich, this desire, rather than a kind of YU hope, is a kind of human greed driven, almost all the giants, seems to have a desire, that is, to make all parts of the world become the same as the five towns of Zhaoyi, become a paradise where they can do whatever they want.

This kind of hidden thoughts in the depths of many people's hearts made Li Chongfu feel a little afraid when he thought about it, you must know that although his ancestors had made a big move everywhere when their ancestors were there, but at any time, until they were forced to do so, the imperial court would never make up its mind to move troops, after all, ...... The precedent of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is in front of him, although the Son of Heaven is very happy, but the subjects hear that they want to move troops, but they often talk about the tiger's color change, for the ministers, the use of troops will consume the national strength, and the risk is also very great, even if the territory is occupied, but most of the gains and losses are outweighed by the gains. For the common people, mobilizing troops means raising taxes, and it also means recruiting them to serve in conscription, and many strong men in the family have to set foot on the battlefield thousands of miles away, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead.

Therefore, the kings often take the great Emperor Yang of Sui as a warning, the ministers try their best to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and the subjects are indifferent to anything, opening up the territory and expanding the territory, except for letting the dynasty get a little good reputation, it has no effect. Conquer Nanzhao, that continuous mountain, how many valuable lands can be reclaimed? (To be continued.) )
