Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2009, returning home

Liu Jin completely forgot about the affairs of the capital, didn't care about them, and was lazy to take care of these things. If the earth is missing, everyone will turn around.

Daming does not have Liu Jin, it is still Daming, so do your best to do your own things when you are in the position, and don’t worry about these things when you are no longer in the position. Perhaps it is wisest for future generations to live in the present The choice is also a major feature of Liu Jin's time travel.

On the concrete road leading to Liaodong in the capital, dozens of black Mercedes-Benz cars were driving rapidly, and Liu Jin in one of the cars looked out through the window.

I haven't returned to my hometown for more than 20 years, and I don't know what my hometown has become now.

Thinking about it carefully, I have been in the capital since I took the imperial examination, and the place I have visited the most is Tianjin. Although my hometown Changli County is very close to the Beijing-Tianjin area, I have never been back once. .

On the one hand, it is also because I am a time traveler, and I don't have any deep feelings for my hometown in Changli County, and I have nothing to miss.

The second is that since Liu Jin took his mother to the capital after high school, there is no one worth caring about in his hometown, and he has always been busy, busy with the affairs of the government and the public, and the affairs of his subordinate industries.

There is even less time to go back to my hometown, and it will be more than 20 years in a flash.

The young and the young leave home and the eldest returns home, the local accent remains unchanged, and the hair on the temples fades. When the children meet each other, they laugh and ask the guests where they come from.

At this moment, Liu Jin has the feeling that he has been away for too long, more than 20 years, this is a whole generation.

The cars were driving continuously, and they had already entered the range of Changli County.

As Liu Jin's hometown, Changli County has also enjoyed many benefits. When the cement roads just started to come out, Changli County has built cement roads early, and the transportation is extremely convenient.

Later, the imperial court built the railway from Tianjin to Liaodong. This railway also passed through Changli County. There are both railways and roads. In addition, it is very close to the Beijing-Tianjin area, so it can be regarded as the first to enjoy the dividends of the development of capitalism and colonialism in the Ming Dynasty. The place.

At this moment, one can see beautiful villages on both sides of the road. The houses in these villages are all very beautifully built. They are all three-storey houses made of reinforced concrete. The exterior is white and some are even tiled.

The roads in the village have also been hardened with cement, clean and beautiful, and you can also see a lot of cars parked at the door, which is a bit similar to the appearance of later generations, and the penetration rate of cars is quite high. As for motorcycles, they can be seen everywhere, and there are many of them.

Obviously, the living standard of the people here is quite good, and the income is extremely high. Otherwise, expensive cars and motorcycles would not be so popular.

At the same time, you can occasionally see football fields next to some big villages.

Football has already become popular all over Daming, and has even spread to all parts of the world. Football is now one of the most popular sports in Daming.

Even in this kind of village, you can see the football field, and you can see many adults and children playing football in it, which shows how popular football is, and it can be seen that the living standard here is already quite high. Play football leisurely.

"Da Ming has developed for more than 20 years, and has plundered an unknown amount of wealth and resources from all over the world. Finally, we Da Ming people can live such a life."

Seeing such a scene, Liu Jin also laughed, feeling very relieved.

My hard work and dedication are ultimately not for this land I love so much, and this great ancient nation I am so proud of.

Think about future generations, although the society has developed and we have become rich and powerful, but the foundation is too weak, the development is backward, and the start is late. After all, there are still many, many places that are not as good as people.

One of the biggest problems is that ordinary people live a relatively tiring life, with long working hours and little rest time, limited wages and extremely serious introversion.

Coupled with the large population, a large number of people are concentrated in the cities, and the result is that the people are suffering and tired.

In contrast to the Europeans and Americans of the same period, they lived a very comfortable life because of their historical colonial plunder, leading advantages in technology and industry.

The working hours are short, the social benefits are good, and the income is high, so life is relatively easier. Even lying down can lead a relaxed and comfortable life.

Now Daming has slowly lived such a life.

Especially compared to other places in the world at the same time, the development of Daming and the life of the people of Daming are definitely the best.

When the people of Ming Dynasty had already started to buy cars, travel by train, and use electric lights, most of the rest of the world was still very backward.

The roads are still dirt roads, travel is basically by walking, and basically go to bed early at night, it is impossible to imagine the existence of electric lights, cars and trains.

All day and night, all year round, I am busy running around to feed my hunger, exhausting myself.

In contrast, the current life of Daming people is called life.

If I like it, I will go to work in the city to support my family easily. If I don’t like it, I can also choose to immigrate to become a local owner. The life of farming is also very good, the income is not bad, and there is no pressure.

People in the city will not say that they discriminate against rural people, because you may not have as much income as them, and the farmers are living a very good life now.

Especially in Liaodong, Hezhong, Heitu Province, Nanyang, and Huangjinzhou, basically every household has thousands of acres of fertile land and their own farms.

In addition to the main wife, there are basically a few concubines in the family, not only to give birth to their own children, but also to work for the family.

Raising a large family with ease and living a comfortable life is simply not comparable to wage earners in the city.

Daming people in this era have too many and too many choices, they can live the life they want, and they don’t need to be tied to a three-acre land like before, exhausted all year round Tired of farming, even the stomach is not full.

The convoy continued to move forward, and along the way, we could see a large number of factories and workshops, all of which were overflowing from the Beijing-Tianjin area.

With convenient transportation and transportation, factories and workshops will naturally spill over to places where the land is cheaper. Now the land in the Beijing-Tianjin area is too expensive, and some factories and workshops will be slowly forced to the surrounding areas.

At Qiufeng Pavilion, ten miles outside Changli County, many officials, squires, factory owners, business owners, etc. from Yongping Mansion and Changli County have basically arrived.

Liu Jin wants to go back to his hometown, Ding You, to keep his filial piety. This is the first time Liu Jin has returned to his hometown in more than 20 years. .

Liu Jin is the Duke of Liao, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and a celebrity around the emperor. If he has a good relationship with Liu Jin, his success will be just around the corner.

As for the respectable gentry, they are even more eager to get in touch with Liu Jin. The children in this family will be officials, family business, etc. If they can get a little benefit from Liu Jin, it will be enough to enjoy them for a lifetime.

Even though Liu Jin is now returning to his hometown Dingyou to keep his filial piety, the emperor has not seized his love, and there are rumors that Liu Jin has fallen out of favor.

But with Liu Jin's prestige and contacts in the ruling and opposition parties, he still promoted people casually.

What's more, this is just going back to his hometown Dingyou to keep his filial piety, not being demoted, let alone dismissed from office, nor retiring. Liu Jin, who is only in his forties, still has a long political career. According to the current situation of Ming Dynasty, Not to mention reaching the age of seventy, even if reaching the age of sixty, there are still more than 20 years left.

Where can it fall down in a short while, it is absolutely a towering tree, and it is natural to hug it tightly.

"I'm coming!"

Someone hurriedly drove to Qiufeng Pavilion, and shouted excitedly as soon as they got out of the car.

Immediately, everyone who had been waiting here carefully sorted out their appearance one by one, and then stood by the road in order of rank, quietly waiting for Liu Jin's arrival.

Soon, a convoy of dozens of black Mercedes cars also arrived at Qiufeng Pavilion, and then parked slowly.

Liu Jin got out of the car, and the officials and gentry who had been waiting for a long time also stepped forward excitedly.

"Hello everyone!"

Liu Jin looked at the crowd in front of him with a smile on his face. He knew very few people. Only a few people at the head knew him. Among them was his teacher when he was studying. Come over excitedly with the help.

"The student has seen the teacher!"

Naturally, Liu Jin hurriedly saluted as a student. No matter how big the official is, he is still a student in front of the teacher.

"Don't dare, dare not!"

The other party naturally hurriedly said that it would be enough to be proud of being able to teach the number one scholar, not to mention that Liu Jin was an official and also became the chief assistant of the cabinet, and also won the hereditary title of Duke.

The student Liu Jin is definitely the student he is most proud of and proud of. Although Liu Jin has never come back to visit him, Liu Jin will also order people to send some gifts during festivals and so on.

Of course, this is not about feelings, it is purely for my own reputation, respecting teachers is the most important thing for Ming people, and it is also the quality that a scholar should have.

"Now it's time to return to my hometown!"

"I kind of understand why the ancients always emphasized returning to their hometown. This person has struggled all his life outside, and being able to return to his hometown in a good and prosperous way may be the highest pursuit."
