    After listening to Liu Jin¡¯s words, everyone thought for a while and nodded.

    The issue of the income of ordinary people in the capital has not been discussed once or twice. The big bosses in the DPRK have also discussed it many times.

    ??We all have factories, workshops, and businesses behind us, and we all know how much money it costs to hire someone here in the capital.

    ¡°After considering the income and hard work of this kind of land, it¡¯s understandable that no one wants to farm. If it were me, I¡¯m afraid I wouldn¡¯t farm again.

    "However, wouldn't it be a pity that such good land should be used to grow cotton instead of growing food, not to mention that this food can be used to fill our stomachs."

    Liu Jian thought for a while and said.

    Looking at the fertile field in front of me, if in previous years, winter wheat would have been planted, but now it is all cotton stalks. It is a pity and makes people feel distressed just looking at it.

    "Mr. Liu, if a few years ago, all the fields in Beizhili were planted with cotton instead of grain, what kind of things do Mr. Liu think would happen?"

    Liu Jin thought for a while and asked.

    "There is no doubt that there will be a great famine. Food prices will skyrocket, people will die of hunger everywhere, and people will change their sons to eat."

    Liu Jian replied immediately without even thinking about it.

    "Then Mr. Liu, what about the current Beizhili?"

    Liu Jin nodded slightly and asked again.

    "Now?"

    When Liu Jian heard this, he immediately seemed to understand something and his eyes widened slightly.

    "Now the price of food in Beizhili has dropped to a historical low, whether it is white flour from Liaodong, rice from Nanyang, millet from Shanxi, corn from Shandong, sweet potatoes and potatoes from Henan, grain  Prices have dropped to historically low levels.¡±

    "The price of a pound of grain is less than five cents. Based on the current income of ordinary people in the Beijing-Tianjin area, the couple's monthly income of seven taels of silver is enough to last for several years."

    Liu Jin smiled and finished for Liu Jian.

    Hearing Liu Jin's calculation, everyone immediately nodded. Even if there is not a single wheat field in Beizhili, the price of grain has not soared like during the great famine. Instead, it has continued to fall. People work casually.  You can eat it all.

    "The reason why such an imagination occurs, I actually think there are mainly the following reasons."

    "The first one is that the grain output of our Ming Dynasty has been rising year by year in the past few years. There is more and more grain, so the price of grain is getting lower and lower. In Liaodong region alone, the grain produced this year is enough to feed our entire Ming Dynasty for two years.  .¡±

    ¡°Coupled with the imperial court¡¯s promotion of high-yielding crops introduced from Golden Continent and the addition of corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, our Ming Dynasty¡¯s food supply has never been more abundant, and we can¡¯t finish it. Naturally, food prices are getting lower and lower.¡±

    "The second reason is because the transportation in Daming is becoming more and more convenient."

    "In the past two years, the imperial court has built cement roads in the north, south, east and west, and connecting provinces in Daming. Coupled with the rapid development of shipping in our country, our land transportation, waterway, and sea transportation have become more and more sophisticated.  It¡¯s getting more convenient.¡±

    "In addition, the promotion and rapid development of four-wheeled carriages, and land transportation became more and more convenient and fast, which had a profound impact on our Ming Dynasty."

    ¡°Although it is difficult to find another wheat field in Beizhili, due to the convenient transportation, whether it is wheat from Liaodong, rice from Jiangnan, or fragrant rice from Nanyang, it can be transported to Beizhili in large quantities and quickly.  Coming here fully guarantees the food supply of Beizhili."

    "The third one is the development of the marine fishing industry and animal husbandry. The marine fishing industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and tens of millions of kilograms of seafood have been caught, which has greatly enriched the dining tables of the people of Ming Dynasty, and also made Ming Dynasty more interested in  The demand for traditional grains has become smaller.¡±

    ¡°At the same time, because the Ming Dynasty acquired the northern grassland, and with more and more food, the people raised more chickens, ducks, geese, cattle and sheep, etc., which will also reduce the people¡¯s demand for food.¡±

    "The fourth one is that our Ming Dynasty has been insisting on continuous foreign immigration and expansion in recent years. A large number of people have migrated outside the customs and overseas. This has not only opened up more fields and planted more food, but also reduced the number of people in our Ming Dynasty.  Indigenous demand for food.¡±

    "These four factors are what I summed up. Although it is difficult to find a wheat field in Beizhili now, this does not affect the food security of our Ming Dynasty."

    Liu Jin also stopped slowly after finishing speaking, his mouth was a little dry.They are so common, almost everywhere, and there are cement roads leading to all directions.

    There are also small cement roads connected to the cement roads built by the imperial court, forming a network covering all areas, connecting towns, villages, etc. around the Beijing-Tianjin area, and the transportation is extremely convenient.

    "Looking at the houses in this village, I guess this village is pretty good."

    Liu Jian looked at Nanzhuang Village in front and said.

    In his field of vision, the houses in Nanzhuang Village were neatly built. The rows of houses were all made of reinforced concrete. It was hard to see the brick and tile houses that could be seen everywhere before. There were also paved roads between the houses.  cement.

    The exterior wall of the house is pink and snow-white, which looks very beautiful and gives people a different feeling.

    This is completely different from the countryside in Liu Jian¡¯s memory. It doesn¡¯t look like the countryside in his memory at all. Is this still the countryside of the Ming Dynasty?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
