Chapter 859

Dayao is not only expensive for food, but also expensive for all materials.

When Ren 8000 first came, salt was 120 Wen and one liang.

Honey 50 Wen a Liang.

Crude fruit wine, 100 Wen a kilo.

When Ren 8000 first arrived at the animal garden, the steward invited him to drink liquor (inferior wine) from the clouds, one or two silver a kilo.

As for other materials, such as linen, one or two silver, Ge cloth, three Liang silver, Duan, thirty Liang silver.

One horse in this world is four feet, equivalent to thirteen meters.

One month's income of ordinary people is enough to buy such a piece of semi linen. In Dayao, ordinary people wear animal skins. Only those with better conditions can wear linen. Low-level officials wear clothes of Ge cloth all year round. They have to draw cold air painfully when scraping a hole.

When Ren 8000 chatted with Lin Mengsheng a few days ago, he talked about some people.

These days, scholars are not ordinary people. Few ordinary people can read. Most of them are the descendants of merchants and officials.

Lin Mengsheng is like this. Although his family is not very rich, it can also be regarded as rich.

Normally, most of these scholars don't eat smoke and anger among people, but Lin Mengsheng knows a lot about the lives of civilians and can be regarded as an alien.

The income of the people is lower than that of the people.

After all, Dayao is vast and sparsely populated, and the per capita resources are much higher. Moreover, ordinary people are at least the strength and strength of the human wheel. They are much stronger than the people of other countries in both farming and hunting.

You should know that in the cloud, a person who turns to martial arts will earn at least ten liang of silver a month. A person who turns to the local martial arts will find a city Lord's house as a sacrifice, and the monthly salary will at least reach one hundred Liang.

And Da Yaofei's riding is only ten Liang silver a month.

It is said that people earn only 800 to 1000 yuan a month.

In the cloud, a kilogram of salt is only 100 Wen.

Brown rice is eight Wen and one jin, and coarse grain flour is eleven Wen, which is one-third to one-quarter of that of Dayao.

But beef can reach 50 Wen a kilo.

The main reason is that most of them are farming and less grazing. Although cattle are not as forbidden to be slaughtered as in the Tang Dynasty, they can also support a strong labor force, so they are quite expensive.

Twenty Wen for a cock and fifteen Wen for a hen.

A piece of linen is three hundred Wen, a piece of Ge cloth is six hundred Wen, a piece of silk is two liang silver, and satin is ten Liang silver.

The price is only one-third to one-quarter of that of Dayao. For example, salt can even reach one tenth, and the income is half of that of the ancient people.

More importantly, they eat less!

Even if the fertility rate is higher, the family has three or four children, but generally speaking, life is better than that of the ancient people.

Of course, this good point is also extremely limited, or even equivalent.

Because the ancient civilians rarely get sick, most of them are wounds caused by hunting or flesh wounds caused by fighting. In addition to dying in the mouth of wild animals, the biggest cause of accidental death is to have children.

The cloud people are completely ordinary people. When they are sick, they will see if they have money and die if they have no money.

In a word, ordinary people in this era just want to live and survive.

The real difference is that there are many "middle classes" above the ordinary people.

There are many merchants, and they are not ranked last as in ancient China. In the cloud business is developed, and the status of merchants is not low.

Vendors usually have no worries about food and clothing. There are many so-called gentry and rich families, as well as large rich businessmen. They can even hire local wheel level experts.

The living conditions of these people are very good. The living standard of a moderately rich family is even much better than that of tongzhenye.

Big rich businessmen spend a lot of money.

It is precisely because of the prevalence of cloud merchants that they have catalyzed technological progress in all aspects of cloud, such as smelting and textile, which is much better than that in summer.

As Zi Donglai once reported to the female emperor, the hundred crossbow carriage with continuous hair like chuyun is a very advanced weapon in this era.

From various aspects, capitalism has sprouted.

As long as the clouds are not extinguished, it will be sooner or later to continue along this road.

Unfortunately, I met my socialist hammer!

Ren 8000 felt that he had corrected their wrong investment route and led them to the big socialist family.

Don't ask socialism, what about the female emperor!

This is a socialist feudal country with great characteristics!

Should the state reward itself and let itself join the party or something? Just step back and step into a regiment!

Not FFF.

Ren 8000 thought about it. He seemed to be a member of FFF before he came to Dayao.

Then think about it. Now, I laugh first.

"Like a fool!" The female emperor gave him a white look, but few people thought about it and began to giggle. I didn't bother to pay attention to him. I rode to pray for water first.

In half a day, they arrived at their destination and stood on the hill. They had an open front and could look down on the whole plain.

Two rivers meander on the plain, surrounding a grassland. Large areas of cattle and sheep wander on it. There is a small forest at the corner, most of which are fruit trees. When Ren 8000 came to taste it, it tastes sweet, slightly sour and juicy.

"Here it is?" After the empress asked to pray for water to stop, she looked down and asked. "The scenery is good."

"Here it is." Ren 8000 nodded and said, "especially those two rivers, the depth is generally between 10 meters and 20 meters, which is enough for boats, and they will not flood in the rainy season.

Moreover, the two rivers converge at the lower reaches to form a big river, which flows through the junction of chuyun and the state of Chen.

If the new city is built here, it can save a lot of energy in transporting materials. Relying on river transportation, commerce and trade will be more prosperous. "

Ren 8000 decided and said, "the new city I envisaged has no walls. It is a plain and can be expanded everywhere."

In Ren 8000's vision, the new city will reach the scale of millions of people sooner or later. It is extremely important to facilitate expansion.

"No walls? It seems a little inappropriate?" As soon as copper Zhenye followed, he subconsciously said when he heard the last sentence.

"What's wrong?" Ren 8000 asked.

By such a question, copper Zhenye was stunned. What's wrong? The city wall can play a defensive role for fear of wild animals hurting people and the enemy coming.

This is the normal situation.

But this place is located in the plain and there are no ferocious beasts.

As an ancient people, I was never afraid of being attacked by others.

They are always the only ones who beat others!

There seems to be nothing wrong with that.

"Lord Tong's thinking has been solidified by his previous cognition. Others need walls, but we don't need them. Besides, in history, why have walls been used to defend the enemy's country? This is the capital, not the border. If the enemy can reach here, it doesn't matter whether there are walls." Ren 8000 smiled and said.

"The truth is that I always feel a little strange." Copper vibration field scratched his head.

"If we want to reach the level of industrialized society, a large population is essential. Unlike other countries with normal development, we incubate technology in Lancheng from point to area, radiate around Lancheng as the center, and climb up science and technology at the fastest speed. Therefore, it is the best choice to build such a super capital.

Just like Lan City, the population is only tens of thousands. The population is too small. We can't recruit people until we set up several factories. "

With a small population, not only can't recruit workers, but also have less labor, fewer school-age teenagers and fewer students.

In short, with a small population, the potential is small.

"But with a large population, we can't afford food and transportation!" Tongzhenye said again.

In this era, the food in the city mainly came from the periphery of the city. On the one hand, the productivity is low and the output is low. On the other hand, it is also because of transportation difficulties and too much consumption during transportation.

In a city like Lancheng, there are generally more than 100000 people who can live. If it is a national capital, it can even reach hundreds of thousands and millions of people.

Unfortunately, the appetite of the ancient people determines that the population of cities of the same size is much smaller.
