This is really strange, it is obviously a good fertile field, why grow these things that cannot be eaten and chewed?

If the villagers can grow rice from such good farmland, there will be absolutely no problem in filling their stomachs.

Guo Dalu originally thought that the cultivation of kudzu grass in Houlong Village was just an accidental act of the big landlords and nobles, in order to satisfy their strange interests or needs, but now it seems that it is an ordinary phenomenon.

This shows that plants like kudzu grass are so important that the big landlords and nobles would rather sacrifice their rations than force the peasants to plant it.

No matter how ridiculous the ancient emperors were, they also knew that the people took food as the truth, and the people in the world would rebel if they had no food, but why did the big landlords and nobles of the Great Li Dynasty rather risk the turmoil in the world and plant kudzu grass?

It's weird, it's weird. It seems that I have a deeper understanding of the world. Guo Dalu didn't talk much along the way, just watched and listened more.

Turning over a mountain beam, Guo Dalu's eyes suddenly lit up, only to see that in front of him was a continuous plain, and two great rivers came mightily, rushing together, converging into a wider river, rolling away in the direction of the eastern sea.

What a beautiful picture of the confluence of three rivers.

This large plain is obviously formed by the alluvium of these three great rivers, the land is fertile, and it is the most suitable place to live, and China is an agricultural people, living by the water, and the Yellow River, Changliu and other large water systems are the birthplace of civilization. There are three big rivers in this plain, although the momentum is not as good as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, but it can also be called the abundant water and grass, the population is large, as far as the eye can see, in the sight of Guo Dalu, there are neat villages everywhere, and the peasants like small black spots in the fields can be seen in the distance.

And in the center of the convergence of the three rivers, a city stands on the plain, the high city wall, the neat houses, the big banner on the city tower, on the top of the city gate hole, a bluestone slab, engraved with a big "Yin" character.

Brother Hao laughed and said: "Yinxian has arrived!"

Guo Dalu's heart sighed, he still underestimated the productivity of the ancient people, although this Yin County and the 21st century millions of people of the city can not be compared, but in this ancient times, it can be regarded as a large-scale city, from a distance, the streets are neat, the market is distinct, many houses are blue bricks and horses, people inside and outside the city gate are crowded, cattle and horses in and out, actually a bit of modern work morning rush hour appearance.

Guo Dalu has read a lot of miscellaneous books, and knows that in the ancient Chinese farming civilization, the characteristic of the small peasant economy was the poverty of the countryside, while the city was extremely prosperous, and the wealth created by the peasants was all occupied by the big landlords and nobles.

Thinking that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, on the one hand, the peasant uprisings continued, on the other hand, there was a drunken dream and death in the big city, and this big Li Dynasty was similar, and the emperor didn't care how hard the peasants' lives were, in the words of the primary school political textbook, his rule was based on those landlords and old wealth, as for the common people, as long as they had food to eat, they would not rebel if they starved to death.

Guo Dalu was thinking wildly, and he didn't know if there were heroes like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in this world, suddenly there was a flash of golden light in front of him, he looked intently, and saw that in the center of Yin County, there was a very magnificent building, and the glazed tiles covered by the building were flashing golden light under the reflection of the sun.

Guo Dalu sighed: "Good guy, is that the county office?

Brother Hao shook his head beside him: "That's not the yamen, it's the palace of Tianyi Pavilion, let's call it Shangxian Temple again." ”

It's actually a temple, I don't know if it's a monk or a Taoist priest living in it, just looking at this glazed tile, you know that these monks are so fat.

Guo Dalu guessed that the emperor of the Great Li Dynasty must also be a good Taoist ******** want to live forever, and even a Yin County under his rule has built such a magnificent temple, and would rather raise a group of bald donkey thieves and Taoist priests than give the people any benefits.

In the history of China, there were many such emperors, and even built temples to support their families with the power of the whole country, not only poor the people, but also ruined the military affairs, and even the entire country was defeated.

Guo Dalu has always had a good impression of the monks, in the past, when he was in modern society, he once accompanied his little girlfriend to Dongqian Lake to play, and there were several temples in it, but as soon as he entered the thief, he handed over the Huayuan to ask for money, and he was not qualified to register with the Huayuan book below 50 yuan - what monks, their hearts were blinded by lard!

The most exaggerated thing is that there is a very famous Nine Pagoda Temple in Yongcheng, in which several monks in charge of the house have a conflict in order to divide the sesame oil money, one of the big monks actually installed explosives on the car of the host, causing a shocking case, so in Guo Dalu's view, the monks do not have a good thing, the temple is just a place to do business - the transaction is people's faith.

It's just that since even faith can be traded, then is this faith still a faith? Isn't that bullshit!

In front of the gate of Yinxian County, there is a huge open space, which is now a market - this is where the three cities are located.

The villagers of Houlong Village have hurried over, occupied a good stall, set up the gadgets they had worked so hard to pick, and began to trade.

Guo Dalu watched coldly, and saw that some of the villagers bought and sold with small copper coins, and some directly bartered, but he didn't see anyone shopping with silver - this is the poison of Guo Dalu's martial arts books is too deep, thinking that the ancients often took out a few ingots of snowflake silver to buy things.

Copper money is the most commonly used currency for ordinary people to buy things, sometimes silk silk is used, silver is rarely used, and the silver of the big ingot is also crushed with scissors before it is used, the kind of one enters the hotel and shoots out a few ingots, shouting: "Xiao Er comes to a few pots of good wine, a large piece of beef." "--That's a fool's doing, and the whole store is not worth the price of these ingots.

The old village chief Zhu found Guo Dalu and said: "Let's come early, the county government hasn't opened yet, Brother Guo, you take a stroll in the market first, and when the time comes, I'll come to you again." ”

The old village chief Zhu himself also brought a few pieces of wooden furniture, and wanted to exchange some salt at the market to go home, so he threw down his words and hurried away.

Guo Dalu really wanted to visit the market, and from such a trading market, he could learn a lot of information about this dynasty, but he only looked at it for a few moments, and was pulled by Brother Hao: "Brother Guo, you should give me some guidance, how to build this toilet." ”

Brother Hao was full of things about digging up feces and fat fields in the market, and he didn't even glance at his favorite juggling in the past, pulling Guo Dalu and taking the stupid big man and others to find a place to build a toilet.
