Da Yao is not only expensive food, it should be said that all materials are expensive.

When Ren Baqian first came, the salt was one hundred and twenty wen and one tael.

Honey fifty wen a tael.

Coarse fruit wine, 100 wen a catty.

When Ren Baqian first arrived at the animal garden, the steward invited him to drink the spirits (bad liquor) from Izumo, one tael of silver and one catty.

As for other supplies, such as linen cloth, one tael of silver for a horse, kudzu cloth, three taels of silver for a horse, and a joke for thirty taels of silver.

And one horse in this world is four zhang, which is equivalent to thirteen meters.

Ordinary people's monthly income is enough to buy such a horse and a half linen, in Dayao, ordinary people wear animal skins, and only those with better conditions can wear linen, and low-level officials are two clothes of arrowroot cloth all year round.

When Ren Baqian chatted with Lin Mengsheng a few days ago, he talked about the situation of the people of Izumo.

In these years, scholars were not ordinary people, and very few of them could read from ordinary families, and most of them were the children of businessmen and officials who had the opportunity to study.

Lin Mengsheng is like this, although his family is not rich and wealthy in Izumo, it can be regarded as rich.

It stands to reason that most of these scholars are not cannibalistic people, but Lin Mengsheng knows the lives of civilians very well, and he can be regarded as an outlier.

The income of the people of Izumo is lower than that of the people of Daiyao.

After all, Dayao is vast and sparsely populated, and the per capita resources are much higher. Moreover, ordinary people at least have the strength of human wheels, and they also have great strength, whether it is farming or hunting, they are much stronger than the people of other countries.

You must know that in Izumo, a person who is a wheel-level warrior will have a monthly income of at least ten taels of silver, and a earthly warrior who can find a castle lord's mansion as an offering, and the monthly salary must reach at least one hundred taels.

And Da Yaofei rode only ten taels of silver a month.

The people of Izumo earn no more than 800 to 1,000 bun a month.

And in Izumo, a pound of salt is only 100 wen.

Brown rice is eight wen a catty, and multigrain flour is eleven wen, which is one-third to one-quarter of Dayao.

And beef can reach 50 wen a catty.

The main reason is that Izumo is mostly farming and less grazing, and although the status of cattle is not as forbidden to slaughter as in the Tang Dynasty, it can also support a strong laborer, so it is quite expensive.

Twenty wen for a rooster and fifteen wen for a hen.

A horse of linen cloth is 300 wen, a horse of kudzu cloth is 600 wen, a silk horse is two taels of silver, and satin is even more than ten taels of silver.

The price of goods is only one-third to one-quarter of Dayao, and even one-tenth of salt can be reached, and the income is half of that of the ancient people.

More importantly, they eat less!

Even if the fertility rate is higher, and the family has three or four children, on the whole, life is still better than that of the ancient people.

Of course, this is also extremely limited, or even equivalent.

Because the ancient civilians rarely got sick, most of them were wounds caused by hunting, or flesh wounds from fighting. The biggest cause of accidental death, in addition to dying in the mouth of a wild beast and being scratched and bitten by a wild beast and infected, is to give birth.

And the people of Izumo are completely ordinary people, who look at it when they have money when they get sick, and wait for death if they don't have money.

All in all, the ordinary people of this era are just trying to live and survive.

The real difference is that above the common people, Izumo has a lot of "middle class".

There are many merchants in Izumo, and they don't rank merchants to the bottom like in ancient China. In Izumo, business is developed, and the status of merchants is not low.

Small merchants and hawkers usually have no worries about food and clothing, and there are many so-called wealthy squires, as well as big wealthy merchants, and even hire land wheel masters.

The living conditions of these people are very good, and the living standard of a moderately rich family is even much better than that of Tong Zhenye.

The big rich businessmen are even more spending.

It is precisely because of the prevalence of Izumo merchants that it has catalyzed the technological progress of Izumo in various aspects, such as smelting and textiles, which is much stronger than that of Daxia.

Like what Azusa Donglai once reported to the empress, Izumo's kind of continuous fire hundred ballistae is a fairly advanced weapon in this era.

In many ways, Izumo has seen the germ of capitalism.

As long as Izumo is not destroyed, it is only a matter of time before it continues along this path and blossoms and bears fruit.

It's a pity that I met myself with this socialist hammer!

Ren Baqian felt that he had corrected their erroneous capitalist line and led them to the big socialist family.

Don't ask about socialism, what about the empress!

This is a socialist feudal country with Dayao characteristics!

Shouldn't the state give itself some commendations, so that they can join the party or something? It's okay to take a step back and join a regiment!

Not an FFF regiment.

Ren Baqian thought about it, and it seemed that he was still a member of the FFF team before he came to Dayao.

Then I thought about it now, and I laughed first.

"Like a fool!" the empress gave him a blank look, and he didn't see a few people pondering and smirking on her own. I didn't bother to pay attention to him, so I rode up to the front first.

In half a day, everyone arrived at their destination, standing on the hill, with an open field in front of them, and they could overlook the whole plain.

Two rivers meander on the plain, enclosing a grassland, a large area of cattle and sheep wandering on it, there is a small forest in the corner, most of which are a kind of fruit trees, Ren Baqian came to taste it when he came before, the taste is sweet, slightly sour, the flesh is juicy, quite good.

"Is this the place?" asked the empress as she looked down after asking Qi Shui to stop. "The view is nice. ”

"This is it. Ren Baqian nodded and said: "Especially those two rivers, the depth is generally between ten and twenty meters, enough for boats, and they will not flood in the rainy season."

In addition, the two rivers converge downstream to form a large river that flows through the junction of Izumo and Chen.

If the new city is built here, it can save a lot of effort in transporting materials, and rely on river transportation, and commerce and trade will be more prosperous. ”

Ren Baqian made up his mind and said: "The new city I envisioned has no city walls, and there is a plain here, which can be expanded in all directions. ”

In Ren 8000's vision, the new city will reach the size of millions of people sooner or later, and it is extremely important to facilitate its expansion.

"Don't want the city wall? It seems that something is wrong?" Tong Zhenye said subconsciously as soon as he heard the last sentence.

"What's wrong?" Ren asked rhetorically.

Asked like this, Tong Zhenye was stunned for a moment, what is wrong? Afraid that wild beasts will hurt people, afraid that the enemy will come over, the city wall can play a defensive role.

This is indeed the case normally.

But it is located in the plains, and there are no vicious beasts.

As an ancient clan, I have never been afraid of others calling.

They are always the only ones who fight others!

When you think about it, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that.

"Master Copper is solidified by the previous cognition, others need the city wall, but we don't need it. Moreover, in history, how could a country that had a city wall to defend an enemy country? This is a capital, not a border gate. If the enemy can reach this point, it doesn't matter if there are walls or not. Ren Baqian smiled and said.

"The truth is this, but I always feel a little strange. Tong Zhenye scratched his head.

"If you want to reach the level of an industrialized society, a large population is essential. We are different from other countries with normal development, we are completely from point to point, incubating technology in Lancheng, radiating to the surroundings with Lancheng as the center, and climbing up technology with the fastest speed, so it is the best choice to build such a super capital.

Just like Lancheng, the population is only tens of thousands, and this population is too small to build a few factories, and it will not be able to recruit people. ”

The small population is not only unable to recruit workers, but also the labor force, the number of school-age teenagers is small, and the number of students is also small.

To put it simply, with a small population, there is little potential.

"But no matter how large the population is, there is not enough food and transportation is difficult, so it will not be able to provide for it!" Tong Zhenye said.

In this era, the food in the city mainly came from the surrounding area. On the one hand, the productivity is low and the output is low, and on the other hand, it is also because of the difficulty of transportation and the excessive consumption of transportation.

In a city like Lancheng, there are usually more than 100,000 people who can support them. If it is the capital of a country, it can even reach hundreds of thousands of millions of people.

Unfortunately, the amount of food of the ancient tribe determines that the population of a city of the same size is much smaller.
