"Our ancestors came to this place to avoid the war." Li Dayong went on talking to himself.
"Why did you choose this place?" Jing Shaohuai asked
Li Dayong shook his head and said, "where do I know that? Anyway, this is how we passed it down. At that time, only a few dozen people came here to escape the disaster of war. They were surnamed Li, Zhang, Zhao and Wang. Later, there were two families named Chen and Liu. Later, I found that the soil here is fertile, and there are mountains and water, which are suitable for living. The big guy lived here. It's been hundreds of years. "
Jing Shaohuai asked, "why don't you go out to the outside world?"
Li Dayong shook his head: "I can't get out."
"Why?" Jing Shaohuai puzzled asked: "although it is difficult to go out from here, but if you want to go out, it's not that you can't get out!"
"We are all cursed. If we leave here, we will die." Li Dayong shook his head and said.
"Curse? What curse? " Jing Shaohuai was surprised, which was not mentioned in the materials.
But Li Dayong shook his head and refused to talk about it any more.
Jing Shaohuai immediately changed the topic and said, "so many years have passed since you married each other, have you got so many villages?"
"Well." Li Dayong gave a stuffy reply.
Jing Shaohuai nodded, feeling a little bit of music.
This is the charm of population reproduction!
The fertility of the working people is spectacular.
Almost every family has seven or eight children, ten more and three or four less.
After generations of reproduction, in 400 years, it has developed into such a large scale?
"Here we are." Li Dayong pointed to a cemetery in front of him and said, "Uncle Zhu's grave is the third on the left."
Jing Shaohuai looked along the line of sight and saw a small grave bag squatting pitifully in the middle of a group of big graves.
It can be seen that other tombs are regularly cleaned up and maintained. Only Li Zhu's tomb is almost flat under the wind and rain.
Now that you're acting, you have to do the whole thing.
Jing Shaohuai used to make incense, cultivate soil and clean Li Zhu's grave.
Li Dayong nodded with satisfaction.
"Go back to the village and say hello to the village head. You can stay. After that, they will be from Lijia village. " Li Dayong said.
"Well, I'll have to ask brother Yong to help me take the road." Jing Shaohuai immediately takes out another egg.
This time, Li Dayong stopped and said, "you're new here. You don't have many things on you. You'd better keep them for your own use."
Jing Shaohuai was not polite to him either: "that's OK. When we've cleaned up the house, brother Da Yong will come for a drink."
"All right." Li Dayong agreed.
It's the rule of the village.
When every family has something to do, they invite their neighbors to drink.
Before Jing Shaohuai came here, he had already done his homework.
When Jing Shaohuai comes back, MI Xiaoying and Yin Yinuo have already worked together to clean up the shabby house.
The walls that can be repaired are built with stones. The roofs that can be repaired are paved with two eggs in exchange for a pile of straw. The windows and doors that can't be repaired are so open. Let's wait until we have a chance.
Mi Xiaoying's appearance soon made her familiar with the neighbors around her. She even borrowed a scoop of coarse grain and two hoards of wilting turnips.
Yin Yinuo claims to be a childe, so naturally he won't do these coolies.
She just needs to stand there and pretend to be sad
As soon as the three met, they immediately got together: "come on, exchange information."
Jing Shaohuai took the lead in saying: "what I know is that the total population of this place is far more than the 2000 people mentioned in the report. I estimate that it should be no less than 5000 people."
"Five thousand!" Mi Xiaoying and Yin Yinuo take a deep breath: "how can there be such a big gap? How can so many people be transferred out? "
Jing Shaohuai told Li Dayong what he was talking about. Mi Xiaoying was silent for a moment and said: "the task is arduous! And the cost of 50 million yuan is really not low. If 5000 people are put together, they are all in a big community. If all kinds of supporting projects keep up, I'm afraid the cost will not be less than one billion. "
"One billion is a conservative estimate," Yin Yinuo said. "I just inquired about the news, and I found a strange phenomenon. Since the people here have closed themselves up here, how can the living standards of the people here be maintained? If I remember correctly, even in the Ming Dynasty, salt and iron were supplied by the state in remote areas. That is to say, private people did not have the technology of smelting and refining salt. How did they do it? "
Mi Xiaoying nodded and said, "I chatted with several neighbors and found a clue. The day after tomorrow, a family in our village will marry a daughter-in-law. Today, they are sending betrothal gifts to the woman's home. Several old ladies say that the man's home is so grand that they give him a rattan made kettle. Since there is a hot kettle, it means that they have glass smelting technology. How do they do it? "Three people look at each other, always feel that something is wrong.
Yin Yinuo said: "since there are so many irrationalities here, let's go to the town and have a look! Their business center and political center are all in the town. Just go and have a look
"Well, let's go and find our way first." Mi Xiaoying nods with Jing Shaohuai.
After a while, the three men went shopping in the town on the pretext of listening to the way of the town and walked all the way.
Lijia village is not far from the town.
The tutorial for three people is not slow, and the Kung Fu will arrive soon.
After arriving at the town, the three people saw that the town was a four vertical and four horizontal pattern.
The style of the whole town is indeed the regulation of the late Ming Dynasty.
In order to inquire about the news, three people found a teahouse and asked for three bowls of tea.
The consumption level here is very low. The currency in circulation surprised three people.
is not as like as two peas of copper, but the same as the outside world.
"How is that possible?" Jing Shaohuai was shocked: "isn't it isolated from the outside? How can RMB be circulated? "
Mi Xiaoying said meaningfully, "it seems that the so-called isolation is just a cover."
Yin Yinuo knocked on the table and said, "I have a guess."
"I have a guess, too." Mi Xiaoying says, two people tacit understanding look at each other, then laugh together.
Jing Shaohuai squeezed his chin and said, "no wonder brother yuenthalpy will let us come. It seems that there are a lot of tricks in it."
"It's true to be isolated from the world, but it's limited to most people," Mi Xiaoying said, lighting the passers-by in the distance. There are a small number of people who are not isolated, but have frequent contact with the outside world. Otherwise, how can the tea, salt, glass, iron and other things here appear here? For example, if we leave the three of us in any ancient dynasty, can the three of us create an empire? "
"That's because I've read too many novels. It's impossible." Jing Shaohuai said immediately: "first of all, the system does not allow us to have private soldiers and weapons. Secondly, we are good at business war, but not at governance. Thirdly, the historical knowledge we have learned is only superficial and not enough for practice. Finally, I'm afraid that even survival is a problem. How can we talk about the founding of the people's Republic? "
"Yes." Yin Yinuo nodded: "so this is where we can operate. Since there are people here who keep in touch with the outside world frequently, these people are the breakthrough. Presumably, they really want to go to the colorful world outside. No matter how fertile the soil is, no matter how much grain is produced, the resources must be limited. The external resources are unlimited. "
Mi Xiaoying said: "I even suspect that this person who is in contact with the outside world is not unique now, but has been since the Qing Dynasty. You see, the characteristics of their clothes. "
Mi Xiaoying pointed to a passing woman and said, "the horse face skirt made in Ming Dynasty is very big, but you can see that the waist design of her skirt is very good, which obviously integrates the design concept of cheongsam. People here are like a small world separated from the Ming Dynasty, sometimes parallel and sometimes cross with the outside world. "
Yin Yinuo and Jing Shaohuai nodded in agreement.
At this time, there was a sound of wheels turning in the distance of the street.
The three men looked up.
Ooh!
Someone's coming by bike!
This is really Eye opening!
"Ah, isn't this the third young master of Zhang Jia? He's coming back from the outside There was a cry in the crowd.
"Zhang Jia is really getting richer and richer."
"Isn't it? But I've heard that the third young master of Zhang Jia is going to inherit the position of mayor. "
"Zhangjiakou is really more and more developed."
Mi Xiaoying immediately grabbed a passing aunt, handed over a handful of melon seeds with a smile, and asked, "where is the third young master of Zhang family? What a rare car it looks like
"I heard that I went to the outside world! This car is from outside. Can it be rare? Hey, little girl, which village are you from? Why haven't I seen you before? " Looking at Mi Xiaoying's delicate face, she thought to herself that such a pretty girl should only be married to a wealthy family in the town?
"I'm from Lijia village." Mi Xiaoying replied, "I just came to my aunt. By the way, auntie, don't we people here say we can't leave here? How can the third young master of Zhang Jia go out? "
"Are you new here? No wonder you don't know! Most of the people in our town can't go out, but those who are blessed by the gods can leave. " Aunt's mouth was quick, and she said: "this Zhangjia fuze has been blessed by gods for many years. We eat, wear, and many of them are from Zhangjia! Our town is really thanks to Zhang Jia. Otherwise, how can we live on? "
There's a lot of nonsense about Aunt Dao Dao, but Mi Xiaoying quickly extracted several key points.
