Chapter 300: Emotion
With the protection of the local army, the Qincha were greatly relieved, and when they were in the mood, they took out what they had written at the most tense moment, and did not re-transcribe it, but added some follow-up developments and their own feelings on the original basis.
The paper of the two Qincha was even stained with blood, and after such a long time, the original bright red color had turned brown, but it still looked shocking.
Su Heting took some time out of his busy schedule and took Yuan Ning to the street.
Yuan Ning's interest is good, but he is just worried about Su Heting's physical condition.
Fortunately, the medicines that Su Heting carried with him were all prepared by Doctor Qiu himself, and the effect was very good, and he was young after all, with strong recovery ability, and it would be no big deal if he slowed down for a few days.
The two changed their outfits, walked on the strange streets of a strange city, and looked at the crowds of people coming and going around them, Su Heting asked quietly, "How do you feel?" ”
"Touch?" Yuan Ning touched his chin, "Generally speaking, the purchasing power of the people is still a bit low!" ”
Su Heting blinked, quickly figured out what "purchasing power" meant, and couldn't help but tug at the corners of his lips, "Let me tell you this, now in this dynasty, most places are still peaceful, but there are also wars in many places, especially at the border, so the imperial court conscription is almost every year." ”
Yuan Ning was stunned, she really hadn't heard of these things.
Su Heting smiled mockingly, "Most people are willing to whitewash the peace, who wants to live in dire straits?"
"But that's the case, wars happen from time to time, and most of the people are farming for a living, this kind of thing, you also know, it's purely to watch the sky to eat, God to appreciate the face, if the year is good, the days can be a little more generous, if God does not appreciate the face, maybe this year to eat bran vegetables.
"Well, the poorer ones are like Tianqing County at the beginning," he glanced at Yuan Ning, "Your family is like that." ”
Yuan Ning argued: "Our family is not the poorest, the poorest family, the wife and children have been sold, and they come out and go in with a set of clothes, and they can't even repair the patches when they are worn out, and they don't have the next meal after eating......
Su Heting cleared his throat, "We're not here to be poorer than anyone else, I'm just telling you that this is the status quo now."
"So the problem of low purchasing power that you mentioned, I think, is unlikely to be improved on a large scale in a short period of time."
Yuan Ning pondered for a moment, "You mean, I have to make people earn money before they can spend money?" ”
Su Heting spread his hands, "I didn't say it, you said it yourself." "But it makes sense.
Yuan Ning smiled, "Okay, I have it, I have a clue, I will talk to Shopkeeper Qin when I go back." In fact, I have seen some similar things, the rise of some industries will lead to the rise of other industries.
"As long as it is a benign development, then it is possible to maintain it for a long time, and even have an overall prosperity."
That's a good idea.
Su Heting asked: "Quite experienced?" ”
"Sort of," Yuan Ning nodded, "but I still need your help." Didn't you tell me before that you wanted to popularize the method of building water conservancy? As long as this method is popularized, then the problem of relying on the weather for food will be half solved. ”
Su Heting bowed slightly, in addition to the problem of watering, there are also problems with pests and diseases, as well as problems with grain varieties.
"Then," Yuan Ning narrowed his eyes and smiled like a fox, "In two or three years, we will have a certain amount of sweet potatoes and potatoes, sunflowers, and corn seeds in our hands, even if the implementation speed is relatively slow, ten years, ten years, we can almost implement it nationwide."
"Not to mention, in the past ten years, I will not be idle, and I will also try to improve the quality of crops and increase yields. So, the outlook is still very good.
"We don't have to sit on a hammer to do business, we always have to work hard. There is no fear of war, war is inevitable, and in order to grab food, population, and territory, these phenomena are normal.
To put it mildly, the more this is the case, the more grain, cloth, and so on will be consumed, and the more business opportunities will be given to the merchants.
"Of course, in addition to these, there are medicinal herbs and the like, but I don't think about it, after all, I'm not good at those.
"Originally, I was only good at equipment, but my interests are quite broad, I have a little dabbling in agriculture, I know some of the principles, and my own personal practice, it is inevitable that I will have some gains.
"Whether it is fulfilled or not, I don't dare to pat my chest and give a promise, it always takes time to verify. I estimate that the success rate is at least 60%. ”
Su Heting nodded, "It's already pretty good." However, Aning, I don't plan to be an official for a long time in the future. ”
Yuan Ning was stunned, "Then what are you going to do in the future?" ”
Su Heting's expression was faint, "Isn't it good to be a Tian Shewen who asks for a field?" Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, my biological father, no, it should be said that the Su family is full of people, several generations of loyalty, throwing their heads and spilling blood for the court, what did they get in the end?
"I don't know how many Qing officials in this world have died of poverty and disease, but those who are beetles, sitting back and relaxing, clothed and fed.
"I think, it's unfair! I don't want my family to be wronged, I don't want my biological father to be infamous and die, everything I do is for today.
"When the goal is accomplished, I have nothing more to ask for. What Su Xiang and my aunt hoped for, I did......"
Yuan Ning looked at him with burning eyes, "No, that's not what you really think. Or rather, that's not what you really think right now.
"Maybe that's what you really thought at first, you want to make a political achievement, and secretly collect evidence of the old thief's crimes, and then achieve your own goals.
"But if you think about what you did when you arrived in Tianqing County, which one of them is not really for the sake of the people? There are many things that you don't need to do yourself, but you still have to do it yourself. ”
Su Heting's eyes flashed, "Actually, I didn't pour all my feelings, because your contribution can't be understood by everyone." ”
"Don't talk about this," Yuan Ning tilted his head to look at him, "As long as you think that everything you do is not for the emperor or the court, but for the people who are worthy, your heart will be much more comfortable." ”
Su Heting laughed a few times, "I found that chatting with you will make me feel much more comfortable." ”
"This is a must," Yuan Ning raised his chin, "There is a need for communication between people, everyone and everyone have different ideas, you feel that you can't think about it here, maybe it is just a layer of window paper in the other person's place." ”
