- In a teahouse in Songhu, Leonardo da Vinci imitated the Ming Dynasty and came here early, ordered a pot of tea, some breakfast, and a newspaper, and drank tea and breakfast while reading the newspaper. Listen to the tea guests chatting in the teahouse.
"The emperor issued an autumn harvest decree, requiring the officials in various places in the Ming Dynasty to do a good job in the autumn harvest and ensure food security!"
"The Egyptian Canal was affected by the war between Spain and Egypt, and the stock price fell below 200. In order to protect Ming Dynasty's interests in the Mediterranean, the imperial court decided to send ten more main warships to the Mediterranean and five more warships to the Red Sea."
"Half a month ago, a great war broke out between Spain and France. Both sides suffered heavy losses and France suffered a tragic victory. The King of Spain issued a battle order and raised 100,000 troops to prepare for the attack in France."
"Half a month ago, on the golden coastline of West Africa, a war broke out between the Spanish fleet, the Persian fleet and the Korean fleet. The two sides fought fiercely, and Spain finally won miserably."
Da Vinci looked at the news items in the newspaper. When he saw the back, he couldn't help but frowned.
"Europe is thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty. Even if the fastest horses are used to deliver news day and night, how could this news from a month ago appear in the Ming Dynasty's newspapers?"
Along the way, Da Vinci became very aware of how far the distance between Europe and the Ming Dynasty was. He was tired of taking the boat, but what happened in Europe could be known to the Ming Dynasty very quickly.
Even if the people of the Ming Dynasty established an effective post system that could deliver messages quickly, it would not be as fast as this.
This made Da Vinci really puzzled. How did the Ming people transmit information quickly?
With doubts, Da Vinci continued to read.
"The Ministry of Industry announced that the Jiangxi-Guangdong Railway is about to start construction. It plans to build it from Nanjing to Jiangxi, run through the north and south of Jiangxi, and then connect to Guangdong. In the future, it may be built from Guangdong to Guangxi, Jiaozhi, and Xianglin Provinces, connecting Indochina. This railway Once it is completed, we are expected to be able to eat fresh Nanyang fruits and Nanyang vegetables in winter throughout the Ming Dynasty."
"Yesterday, earthquakes occurred in Fujian and Ryukyu. The earthquakes were felt strongly. There is no news of casualties yet."
¡°The second half of the year is the season when typhoons are intensive and frequent in the southeastern coastal areas. The imperial court issued a red warning, requiring ships passing along the coast to avoid typhoons and reduce losses and casualties.¡±
?As Da Vinci continued to read the news one after another, the more he read, the more surprised he became.
The Ming Empire was so huge, but news from various places could be transmitted to the entire Ming Dynasty through newspapers the next day. This is really incredible.
强牺 zongyiwx.com 读牺。At the same time, it can also be clearly understood from this newspaper Understand some of the current situation in Ming Dynasty.
The political situation is stable, the economy is prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Even in the Ming Dynasty, railways and highways are being built continuously. You can see news of the completion of some roads in newspapers, and you can also see reports about railways.
"You must take the train and the railway in person. I heard that there are trains in Nanjing and Jinling that can directly lead to the capital of the Ming Dynasty."
Da Vinci took out a small notebook and wrote this down silently.
After arriving in the Ming Dynasty, he heard too many new things, and the one he heard the most about was the train and railway.
At this time, the conversations of other guests in the teahouse attracted Da Vinci's attention.
¡°Old Wang, how come you¡¯re getting better soon?¡±
"Of course, it's actually nothing. It's just an operation, a cut on the stomach, and then the rotten section of intestine is cut out, and the disease will be cured naturally."
"Well, it looked like you were almost dying at that time."
"Isn't that right? It is said that the emperor also suffered from this disease and was cured through surgery. Now the emperor is in the prime of his life. Long live the emperor."
"Yes, yes, I've heard about this too."
¡°Fortunately, we have a hospital here in Songhu, otherwise we would have to go to Beijing and Tianjin for this operation.¡±
"Is their medical skills really that amazing?"
"Of course, I'm telling you, it's definitely better to go to a hospital for medical treatment than to go to a medical center. The medical skills are superb. The key is that for serious illnesses that require surgery, only hospitals can do it."
This time z.com Zhang Si. "The current world is good. The imperial court is vigorously building hospitals in various provinces, popularizing medical knowledge, and various new medical techniques and medicines are emerging."
"Back then"??I have a brother who suffered from tremor, but he couldn't survive it, and he died in his early teens. But now, the tremor can be cured easily. "
"Isn't that right? In the past few years, the court has invested a lot of money, especially in giving birth to children. In the past, many died in infancy. Now, through training, popularizing some common sense, and drinking more boiled water, the mortality rate has been reduced. It has been greatly reduced, and now every household is very lively."
"Yes, yes, this is how I saved my life. If before, this disease was not cured at all, but now in more than a month, I am alive and well."
""
Da Vinci listened carefully and frowned in thought.
"I have long heard that the Ming people's medical skills are unparalleled in the world. There are many diseases that only the Ming people can cure. Now it sounds like this is true."
"This intestine is rotten, and it can be cured by surgical removal."
"It's like taking a stab in the stomach, but it can also cure the disease."
Zhida z.com Zhixiao. Da Vinci found it incredible. He had been obsessed with anatomy and medicine for a while, and now he heard that the Ming Dynasty actually used surgery to treat diseases. They disemboweled people's stomachs and cut out the rotten intestines to treat diseases. What a feeling. It's incredible.
While he was thinking about medical skills, there was a table of guests talking next to him that surprised Leonardo again.
"I just can't figure it out, why slaves are not allowed in our Ming Dynasty. The labor is too expensive. To hire a worker, the salary is five taels of silver, and food and accommodation are included. It is really too expensive. "
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading, there will be more exciting things to come!
"That's right. The key is that even five taels of silver may not be able to recruit enough workers. My factory is still short of dozens of workers."
"If I can use slaves, I will quickly spend a sum of money to buy hundreds of slaves."
"Don't mention this matter. Last year, the court thoroughly investigated this matter. Many factories that used slaves were closed down and heavily fined."
"I heard from the people above that this is to protect the Ming Dynasty, because this land is the sacred land of our descendants of Yan and Huang, so no slaves can appear."
"What does this have to do with slaves?"
"I think so too, but there is no way. This is the law. If it is not allowed to be used, it is not allowed to be used. We can only recruit workers, and they will provide food and accommodation, and they must be treated well. Otherwise, if they just leave, we can only stare. .¡±
"Isn't that right? Business is good now, but we don't have enough products to sell, so that's all we can do. I've arranged late-night snacks for the workers in my factory, and I have to give red envelopes and gifts during the holidays. That's it. , some people will still leave.¡±
This time z.*c om Zhang Si. 强牺 tianlaixsw.com 读牺。" "
"A salary of five taels of silver a month?"
"Food and accommodation are also included?"
When Da Vinci heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded. The labor of the Ming Dynasty was too expensive.
He now knows the value of silver very well. A silver dollar is very valuable and durable. Zhao Han gave him dozens of taels of silver at the beginning, but now he still has more than 20 taels left. When he arrived in Tianzhu, Xiong Lan gave him dozens of taels of silver as payment.
Along the way, Da Vinci ate and drank well, and did not mean to wrong himself at all. However, the money was very easy to spend. For a meal, a few dozen coins was enough, and for a night's stay, there was You can live quite well with more than 100 yuan.
"This Ming Dynasty man earns five taels of silver a month. Calculated, he has to earn sixty taels of silver a year. The key is that he has to cover food and accommodation. Such expensive labor is beyond the imagination.
??Here in Europe, hiring someone to do work often only requires a little food. Even if you have food, countless people will come to do work for you.
With five taels of silver, a European family cannot spend much money in a year.
But in the Ming Dynasty, five taels of silver could not hire enough workers.
It is said that the Ming Dynasty has a population of hundreds of millions, which is far more than the population of Europe. Logically speaking, this labor should not be expensive. After all, it will naturally become less valuable when there are more people.
¡°However, hiring a worker here costs five taels of silver a month, which is too expensive.
Zhida z.com Zhixiao. "This Ming Dynasty has really surpassed Europe in every aspect!"
Da Vinci sighed in his heart. Just after seeing it in Songhu, he had to admit that the current Ming Dynasty and Europe were not in the same dimension and in the same era
