    "Woooo~"

    The steam cultivator keeps walking between the fields, emitting bursts of whistles and billowing black smoke. There are many people watching the excitement. Nowadays, everyone no longer cultivates land for the landlords, so everyone is actually more leisurely and has time to watch the excitement.  .

    Liu Jin was listening to the conversations of ordinary people and learned about the living conditions at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty. Overall, it was very good.

    It is no longer just as simple as eating enough, but now we are moving in the direction of eating well.

    Pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, as well as seafood from the ocean, rice from Nanyang, white noodles from Liaodong, corn from Shandong and Shanxi, sweet potatoes from Henan, etc., these have greatly enriched the dining tables of the Ming people.  Let them not only eat well, but also eat well and nutritiously.

    As for everyone¡¯s life, earth-shaking changes have also taken place.

    In the past, everyone was tightly bound to one-third of an acre of land. From morning to night, they worked exhaustingly in the fields with their backs to the sky and their faces to the loess. While enduring the exploitation and oppression of the landlords and gentry, on the other hand,  He also had to endure the taxes and taxes from the imperial court. Even though he was known as the ZTE, his life was actually quite hard.

    Just like the small village before Liu Jin traveled through it, everyone was poor and hungry, but the survivors were as tenacious as weeds. Once there was a natural disaster or man-made disaster, war would immediately break out.

    This is the old Ming Dynasty. The huge population maintained on limited land has actually reached a very dangerous edge. The weather is better, and the people can barely survive.

    But once there is a famine, people will not be able to survive.

    It¡¯s different now. No one is willing to farm anymore.

    Young people all go to work in factories, workshops, and commercial firms in the city. People are being recruited everywhere, and they can earn money every month including food and accommodation. Although it is also very hard to work in factories, workshops, and commercial firms now.

    In an era when there were no legal working hours or holidays, when working in factories, workshops, etc., except for eating and sleeping, almost all work was done there non-stop.

    It¡¯s very hard, but it¡¯s simple and you can get real money.

    If you don¡¯t want to work in a factory or workshop, you can also learn to run a small business on your own. If you make some profits, your life will be quite good.

    ¡°Those who have the opportunity and are brave can also go to sea, become sailors, immigrate overseas, etc. In short, there are many choices and opportunities, and you no longer have to be restricted to the original one-third of an acre.

    So that in Beizhili, the closer to the Beijing-Tianjin area, no one is willing to cultivate the land here, and the landlords and wealthy people have to start to change their previous thinking.

    ??Those who have the means and are willing to invest can invest in firms, invest in seagoing ships, open their own factories, build workshops, etc. Their wealth will show explosive growth compared to before.

    In the past, relying on land, the annual income was actually very stable. How much food could be produced from one acre of land was limited. Even if the weather was good, the income of the landlords was actually limited.

    "But investing in firms, building factories, workshops, and investing in ships is different. Wealth will explode as quickly as a blowout. Thanks to such a good era, those who are brave will be the first.

    No matter how difficult it is, these landlords and wealthy people can also use their own land, mountains, etc. to start large-scale planting of cash crops, breeding, etc.

    ¡°As the price of cotton is soaring now, everyone is growing cotton. The demand for meat in the Beijing-Tianjin area is very strong, so everyone is raising pigs, cattle, chickens, ducks, geese, etc.

    From gentry and landlords to ordinary people, everything is changing. They are constantly changing with the changes of the times. They have gradually broken away from the trajectory of the feudal era that lasted for thousands of years and are moving towards the road of capitalism.

    There is no doubt that Liu Jin likes to see such a change very much.

    The bondage of land to people is really too strong.

    The thousands of years of feudal history in China are actually history based on the land. The changes, rise and fall of the imperial court followed the changes in the land.

    The cycle of chaos and chaos cannot escape the changes in the land.

    When the land is relatively scattered, it must be a relatively prosperous time, because in such a period, people have their own land and their lives will be relatively easier.

    However, as time goes by, land will inevitably be slowly concentrated into the hands of a few people, and ordinary people will lose their own land, which will be accompanied by the annexation and concentration of land.

    &nbZhu Houzhao rolled up his sleeves, picked up the maintenance tools and some parts of the steam cultivator, and began to inspect them.

    "can you?"

    "Don't break my steam cultivator, it's more than a hundred dollars."

    Landlord Liu next to him looked at Zhu Houzhao and said.

    "If it's broken, I'll give you a new one."

    Zhu Houzhao said very confidently.

    "Okay, if you fix it, I'll give you five taels of silver."

    Landlord Liu nodded slightly and said.

    "Okay, just think of it as a way to make some extra money."

    When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately became more excited.

    It doesn¡¯t matter to Zhu Houzhao whether he has money or not. He has a lot of money, but being able to earn five taels of silver by relying on his knowledge and skills seems to be an exciting thing.

    Holding the wrench, Zhu Houzhao also wandered around the steam cultivator and quickly determined the problem. He very skillfully disassembled the problem area of ??the steam cultivator, and then quickly repaired it. In just one stick of incense, the steam cultivator plowed the land.  The machine started plowing again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
