Chapter 117

Zhou Heimian, who has broken a lot of good cards, is also introspecting himself in the black prison of the government at the moment, why does this notorious prodigal straw bag seem to be a different person, how can he dare to be so decisive?

And those rude military men, how dare they treat Hu Lai like this? In the same year, Yuan Inspector Jun inspected Fengtian Town in the northeast last year, and Major Governor Chang Hu, the garrison of Fengtian Town, was just angry and hit a sentence, and was pulled out and beheaded. It was so troublesome that the governor Li Chun asked for his resignation, and in the end, it was not over.

How did you get here, and you were bullied by this group of vulgar martial artists! Fortunately, in the midst of misfortune, such a chaotic situation is enough to push the Wu family to the opposite side of the Heavenly Family, and the result should be able to prompt the emperor to make a painful decision to cut off the tumor.

Yes, it is a cancer! The vast majority of people of insight, including him and his disciples, believe that the noble family has become an obstacle to the prosperity of the Great Xia Kingdom and the strength of the people. But when it developed into such an erosive scene, it still failed the trust of the disciple.

When the first rays of sunlight shine on the majestic Yumen City Tower in the morning, the busy vendors are busy setting up the stalls they rely on to make a living, and the busy farmers in the fields outside the city wipe the sweat on their faces, comfortably calculating this year's harvest, no one knows, silently, Yumen City has changed its family---- a young master who is tired and helpless.

After the young master finished assigning the imminent affairs, he shouted: "Come on!" There was no answer from the beautiful maid, and a man with five big and three rough men came in response, "Prepare the horse, I want to visit the city that belongs to me!" Wu Yi was full of pride.

Wu Dacheng, the lord of Wu Dacheng, and Wu Xiaopeng, the captain of the guard, walked around the wide and smooth Yumen street by the reins, looking around heartlessly, and the merchants of the rows and ratios slipped from the city gate to the place where they could not see, inside and outside the shops, people came and went, and it was very lively.

The Xia Dynasty only had agricultural taxes, no industrial and commercial taxes, the status of artisans was low, the armament was exclusively operated by the state, and the industry basically stayed in the era of handicrafts, which caused the abnormal prosperity of commerce. After visiting dozens of merchants, I basically have an understanding of the scientific and technological level of this era, and I roughly stay in an agricultural society.

More advanced, weaving cloth using simple looms, large southern ports, there are small shipyards, can build ships through the offshore ports, glass has been able to be manufactured and used, but not pure enough. Iron smelting still stays in the primitive blast mixed charcoal forging, the softness is not enough, the impurities are high, and those who can play the sword are experienced craftsmen.

In agriculture, there are also some low-tech machinery, such as water drains, water wheels, shelling and rice clamping machines, etc., and there are also multi-crossbows, bed crossbows, stone throwers, etc., which are highly lethal in ordnance, but the mechanical power stays in the stage of hand-cranked animal power, and gunpowder is not used in the military, and the standard cold weapon era.

This era is a paradise for merchants, not a buyer's market or a seller's market, it is completely a market on the merchant's side, they buy goods in the hands of farmers or handicraftsmen cheaply, and then mark the price to wholesale and operate at a price, neither pay taxes, nor impose fines from the price bureau, let alone anti-monopoly. Therefore, there are few corrupt people in the Xia Dynasty, not because they don't bend their waists for five buckets of rice, but they don't care about it.

After walking around and sweating profusely, I ate two non-sour and non-sweet baked cakes, Wu Yi pondered, agricultural society, no food is unstable, no food, don't say anything, agriculture, super hybrid rice will definitely not be able to do it, what self-pollination sterility, recovery breeding, test tubes can't make one, how to hybridize?

Collect rice seeds from all over the world to hit the luck, don't be kidding, actually look for corn and potatoes. I have asked a well-informed grain merchant that corn has appeared, and there are people near the Hetao who have planted it, and it is drought-tolerant, and it can grow in a ravine, and it is all planted in the wild, and few fields are planted on a large scale.

Basically, the summer crops are still wheat and rice, the north wheat and the south rice, the southern plains are more, the water is sufficient, the rice yield is high, and even some places have begun to plant two crops of rice, so the implementation of the summer grain is the south-to-north grain transfer, and the north generally only plants one season of wheat, spring sowing and summer harvest, and then a little soybean and vegetable or something, the whole autumn and early spring fields are basically barren, according to the impression of the corn growth cycle, it seems that there are only three months, in this way, after the wheat is harvested, you can plant a season of corn.

In addition, corn is drought and cold-resistant, and the requirements for the growth environment are not high, as long as it is not a rocky land and a desert land, it can be sprinkled to let it grow independently, and the feasibility of large-scale promotion and planting is very high.

The development of industry, may only start from the smelting, this is not high requirements for scientific and technological content, the whole people can drum up some earth blast furnaces in the world, in addition to making money in iron smelting, one of the most direct benefits is to promote the sophistication of ordnance, the imminent crisis may strike immediately, the quality of ordnance is a little better, reflected in the battlefield may be an overwhelming advantage.

And nowadays, of course, the fastest money is business, military escort, violent smuggling, which one is prohibited by salt and iron, which one is trafficked, transnational trade smuggling group, don't believe it or not?

Just thinking about it, a fresh and pleasant girl's voice behind him asked, "May I ask this son, where is the City Lord's Mansion going?" Looking back, there were two girls of different races who asked for directions, wearing clothes that were very different from the Xia people, the skin of the girl who asked was wheat-colored, the accent was slightly crooked and awkward, the proud long legs supported the height of the Xia girl, and above the straight and towering nose bridge, a pair of clear and agile dark blue eyes flashed, and a youthful breath came to the face.

Wu Yi was in good spirits, and after shopping for a long time, in the shops where people came and went, there were mostly aunts and servants, and occasionally there were young ladies who looked like daughters, and they were also hugged from front to back, and the defense was tight, so that Wu Yi was full of cows. Finally, there was an eye-catching one, or exotic foreign girls, and what was even more coincidental was that they were actually going to the City Lord's Mansion, just along the way.

Wu Yi patted his stiff face, waved his hand for Xia Li, and said enthusiastically: "Are you going to the City Lord's Mansion? The tall girl chuckled, turned back to the woman behind her, and said, "That's it, miss, good luck." ”

"Where are the two girls from? What are you called?" Wu Yi enthusiastically put it almost as follows, Yumen Mansion has the function of Fuyi, and he, a diplomat who rushed to the shelves, didn't know anything about the situation of Yi Diqiang's alien race, and he just knew about it. "My name is Almia, just call me Mia. Our young lady's name is Albana, and she is from the Yi tribe. ”

"Well, Miss Mia, what are you doing in the City Lord's Mansion? I'm very familiar with this place, maybe the person you want to find can help you introduce you to something. "Wu Yi pretended to be forced in a very low-key manner, and said in his heart, the official position in the city belongs to me.
