"Measure the material resources of the world, enough for my Chinese seedlings. Well! Not bad, not bad! Zhang Huangyan nodded, which can be regarded as affirmation for Li Xiao.

"Mr. Sun! You said that we want to develop today, and we need manpower, material and financial resources. Simply relying on the hard work of my Chinese nation, how many teenagers can complete my dream of taking off in China?

Moreover, there are many things in this world that are not available in my Huaxia land, or the stock is very scarce. For example, the fuel used for airships!

The gasoline engine and the diesel engine are small in size and have high power, which everyone knows. If it is used on the train, our train will pull more and run faster than it is now. But why can't we promote it on a large scale? There's no oil!

Where?

Over here! This place is called the Middle East, the territory of the Arabs and Persians. The Turkic people who were driven away by our ancestors in the Tang Dynasty also took root here. There are many deserts in that place, but under the sand are all raw materials for oil refining, a kind of oil called oil. Our ancient books say this thing is stone paint!

There is a little bit of oil in Sichuan, and a little bit of output in the Western Regions. But how can this be enough for our Ming envoys, and now even the fuel supply for the airship is barely maintained.

You must think that our Ming sky is full of airships, so that the transmission speed of people and goods will be faster, and the economic development will be faster. But what if you run out of gas? can only let the second fleet's fleet go to the Middle East, take the marines, and grab it sideways. Can you say it's a reckless force? ”

"Boy! Sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued, the old man can't say anything about you. Since you said that the money and grain in Jiangnan should be diverted for military use, then it should be diverted for military use. If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, such a big country with a population of hundreds of millions is money. Sun Chengzong sighed, and it could be seen that although Daming's financial income had skyrocketed. But spending has skyrocketed!

"Old Sun! If you don't take advantage of today's good weather, let's go shopping around. Let's take a look at what the situation is like in this city today. Li Xiao decided to show up and let Sun Chengzong, who had no time to go out, see what the current Daming capital looks like.

"Handsome! The last time you were assassinated, the remnants of the party have not been fully captured, now go out and shop the streets...... Even......! Xiao Zhan hurriedly jumped out, and his lifelong fate was tied to Zhang Huangyan and Li Xiao. Something happened to these two, so what should I do?

Junzi gave Xiao Zhan a grateful look, this sudden urge to go shopping, even if it cost them half the lives of these guards.

"Hahaha! You kid, you just don't have enough brains. Assassinating people like us is not a careful plan, for fear that a link will go wrong or missed. Then divide the work and prepare, and sometimes it may not take several years to prepare.

Da Shuai and Sun Lao went out today, they didn't know beforehand, do you expect those chaotic assassins to get the news? By the time they gathered from Sijiu City, maybe Da Shuai and Sun Lao had already drunk two cups of kang and slept. Zhang Huangyan slapped Xiao Zhan with a smile, he was a little careful, where could he escape the old fox eyes of the essence.

"That's it! I haven't been on the street for more than a year. What is the situation in this market, the old man really wants to see. Sun Chengzong was helped up by Li Xiao and walked out of the door with one hand.

Zhang Huangyan followed behind him with a smile behind his back with his hands behind his back.

The three of them did not wear official uniforms, and Li Xiao did not wear military uniforms. Fortunately, in recent years, there have been more and more people with short hair on the street. Li Xiao was wearing a felt hat, and he didn't look conspicuous at all. They walked together, as if an old man was leading his juniors, followed by Zhang Huangyan, wearing a moon-white robe, wearing a crown on his head, like a bookkeeper.

Seeing that the three of them were about to go out, Sun Zhijie felt that the sky was about to fall. If something happens to these three masters, it will immediately be the result of chaos in the world.

"Grandpa, what are you going to do?" Sun Zhijie stopped directly at the door.

"Get out of the way! Could it be that the old man has become a prisoner? Today, I rarely have leisure to go out and walk around the streets and see the fireworks of the people. Sun Chengzong glanced at Sun Zhijie dissatisfied.

That is, Sun Zhijie, Sun Chengzong's favorite grandson. If you change someone, the old man won't even take care of it.

"Grandpa! If you really want to go out, let me be free for ten minutes. In just ten minutes, let us change into civilian clothes and go out with you. I'm really letting you out like this, and I'll be beaten by my dad when I get home. Sun Zhijie tugged on Sun Chengzong's sleeve and almost knelt down for the old man.

"Dare! I discounted his legs. Sun Chengzong waved the cane in his hand.

Sun Zhijie was beaten with crutches several times, and then she had a bitter face: "Grandpa! Then you've got a lame son. Ten minutes, just ten minutes. Fucking wooden people, hurry up and change your clothes. ”

"No!" The soldiers of the guard regiment saw the commander of the regiment speaking and immediately rushed into the dormitory to change clothes.

"It doesn't matter if you wait! The child is filial, and you are always blessed. Zhang Huangyan was behind, smiling his beard.

The Guard Regiment was clearly prepared for this, and in a short time the soldiers changed into all sorts of civilian clothes. There are several, and they even wear wigs. It's just that I saw it in a hurry, many people put their robes on the outside of their military uniforms, and the inside was bulging, how awkward it looked.

The hundred and tenth people dispersed, and Shunzi and Sun Zhijie changed into soap clothes and gowns on their bodies. Coupled with a velvet felt hat on the top, it looks a bit like a small house in a big family.

Walking along the street with hands behind your back, although it is winter, the streets of the capital are still full of traffic.

Cyclists can be seen everywhere, but there are few bicycles that can change gears. There are also a lot of tricycles, on which are stacked with high honeycomb coal, which seems to be hundreds of catties. The man pedaling the car wore a cotton hat crookedly, and the cotton jacket stood up with his arms open and pedaled hard.

There was a shop on the side of the road, and the frost hung on the glass window, so you couldn't see it clearly. Looking at the door, it turned out to be a fruit shop.

This is unusual, Sun Chengzong often eats fruits from the south. He really wanted to see what the folk fruits were. In previous years, when this season came, folk fruits were nothing more than apples and oranges. Poor families can't afford it, and radish and cabbage hearts are also used as fruits to fool children.

"Let's go inside!" Li Xiao picked up the curtain, and Sun Chengzong and Zhang Huangyan entered.

Seeing a white-bearded old man walk in, the people who came in and out hurriedly got out of the way.

"Not bad! The spirit of respect for the elderly has not changed. Sun Chengzong felt very relieved to see others take the initiative to give way.

"Old Sun! Recently, there have been a lot of elderly people touching porcelain, and the people are afraid of being blackmailed. Li Xiao reluctantly told Sun Chengzong the truth.

"Touching porcelain? Falsely accused? Sun Chengzong looked at Li Xiao intently, and his eyes seemed to have hooks.

"And it came to pass that an old woman fell on the side of the road the year before last. There was a young man who was kind enough to support, but it turned out to be ......! The young man was sued by the old woman and her son, saying that the young man had deliberately knocked him down. As a result, the confused county official really sentenced the young man to compensation.

The poor lad had a good heart, and as a result, he was extorted four silver dollars. The county magistrate also said, if you didn't hit it, why should you help it?

Since then, the number of elderly people going out to touch porcelain has gradually increased. Now the people have to hide and walk away when they see you at your age, and they can't afford to provoke you! was falsely accused, and the other party sent the old man to the man's house. The family had to eat, drink, and entertain well, for fear that the old man would die at home. In the end, there are bankrupts who have been falsely accused.

Now people say that it's not the old people who have become bad, it's the bad people who have become old. The people talked about the old color change, and even the old man fell down and no one dared to help him, but because he did not receive timely treatment, something happened that he died on the road. Zhang Huangyan shook his head regretfully.

"This ......, the world is so corrupt, then the county order should be killed." Sun Chengzong had to be angry, and he had to be so angry that he had a cerebral congestion.

"The errand has been dismissed, but the impact has been dispersed. If you want to redeem it again, how can it be possible. Ay......! Zhang Huangyan sighed.

"A ridiculous verdict has set back my Ming moral level by a thousand years. I really don't know how such an official was admitted to Kejia back then. Li Xiao was a little indignant.

"At that time, there were endless cases of fraud in Kejia, and there were even appointments with protégés. As long as you mark the rolling paper, you will be admitted no matter what you write. In the end, the court was forced to copy the name of the rolling paper. Sun Chengzong, who knew the fraud of Ming officialdom, was even more helpless.

"So let's change ......!"

"Two! We are out shopping, not to let you worry about the country and the people in the fruit store. Look at the two of you, what kind of eyes are they looking at. After a while, it aroused onlookers, and I saw how the two of you were still strolling around this street. Li Xiao supported Sun Chengzong while pouting to the side.

The fruit shop does not occupy a large area, only 100 square meters. The people turned their heads one after another, looking at the two old men in front of them like fools.

Sun Chengzong and Zhang Huangyan had no choice but to turn their eyes back to the fruit stall. This look is really incredible.

"It's a banana! This is...... Pineapple, this is mango. What is this, haven't seen it. Sun Lao, take a look, what is this? "Zhang Huangyan is also well-informed, but he has never seen several fruits here.

"I don't know these kinds of people, and the old man doesn't know them. Brother Xiao, you have more insight than the old man, can you tell me? Sun Chengzong looked at it very seriously, and he didn't know several things.

"This thing is called dragon fruit, and there are white and red ones in it. It doesn't taste good, I don't like it much. This is called kiwifruit, and it also has seeds in it, which can be sweet and sour to eat.

This thing is amazing! Li Xiao walked over to a large pile of durians and covered his nose with his hand.

"This thing smells bad and tastes sweet. The women love this bite the most, look at it! Sure enough, Li Xiao pointed to a large lump of thorny things in front of him, and several women were standing in front of them.

"It smells bad and tastes sweet, isn't that stinky tofu?" Sun Chengzong muttered, turned around and left when he was no longer interested in durian.

"I don't understand why women like to eat this." Zhang Huangyan saw a little girl who looked like a jasper from a small family, and when he saw that the adults were willing to buy it for him, he slapped happily.

Li Xiao also shook his head, in fact, he didn't like durian either.

The fruit shops are colorful, and many of them are fruits from the south. This kind of thing that ordinary people generally need is actually the most profitable. It seems that Ai Husheng has already started from these aspects. This is a good start, fruit is not a necessity of life. It doesn't matter the survival of the country! Making money from this is much smarter than scraping oil on farmers.

This is a huge profit among the windfall profits. Li Xiao knew that in the Javanese Luzon generation, bananas grew on trees and no one liked to eat them. In addition to the local monkeys, only elephants like to eat a little bit of this thing.

As for durian, which is too unrestrained food, Li Xiao never thought about it, and he felt that the local monkeys should not like to eat it.

All you need to do is grab some slaves and let them pick the fruits. The condition is nothing more than a few full meals for them!

For Daming, this is almost zero cost.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. A small shop on the side of the street actually sells a wide variety of fruits. Lao Zhang, look at it, there are a lot of people in this fruit shop. It seems that the people still have a surplus of money in their hands. Sun Chengzong pointed to the people who came in and out, and was quite pleased.

"Not only fruits, but also seafood from Tianjin Wei can also be transported to our capital by train. I heard that the car was loaded at the Haihe Wharf in the morning, and it arrived in the capital at noon. It is in the hottest summer, as long as it is chilled, it will be as fresh as the capital. In these four or nine cities, the people have not eaten seafood for more than 200 years.

But now you go around the city and open a number of seafood restaurants. The fish are all live fish kept in the fish tank, and you can order whichever one you want to eat. I heard that there is a Shunfeng seafood store in Dongcheng. The price is huge, and the haunts are all dignitaries, and idlers dare not set foot on it. ”

"Oh! There are places like this, so you have to check them out. We are in this Ming Dynasty, we should be regarded as high-ranking officials. Sun Chengzong was interested, and he patted his chest and joked.

"It's still far from the east city, if you really want to go, you have to call a carriage. Let's still walk along the street, it's easy to steal half a day's leisure, or take a good look at the people's livelihood. ”

A few people walked down the street, and there were no people setting up stalls on the side of the street, as if it was too cold. All the small traders and vendors have moved into the house. This made the street, which had been a little crowded and narrow, suddenly wider.

The buyers and sellers on the street are all equipped with glass. When I walked in, there were electric lights hanging overhead. As you can imagine, it must be lit up after dark. Regarding the ability of the people of the Ming Dynasty to accept new things, Li Xiao is a little underestimated. He also thought that it would take a few years for the people of Daming to adapt before they could install electric lights. Unexpectedly, in just two years, even electric poles appeared in the alley.

"This is just an ordinary alley, if you go to the front gate Dashilar, the scene must be even more hot."

"In the winter, you can imagine what the summer will be like. I'm really prosperous. ”

"This is only the capital, if my Daming city becomes like this, even if the old man dies now, he can close his eyes. After his death, he saw the emperors of the Ming Dynasty and told them that the people of the Ming Dynasty are alive and well now. ”
