"Just now we looked at the workshop of briquettes and briquette stoves, these are the daily fire and cooking supplies and tools of ordinary people in the valley, three or four briquettes can be used for a day, cooking, cooking, boiling water, heating, and the warm kang at home also uses charcoal, and it will cost an extra one or two hundred wen in a winter, isn't it very convenient!"

"But the people in the countryside usually use firewood for their own use, and they don't seem to spend money?"

"Not bad!" Zhen Qian nodded approvingly and said, "First of all, the firewood in the county town needs money!" ”

"Hmm!"

"Why do you have to buy firewood in the county?"

Oh, yes! What is the reason why the people can sell the worthless firewood to the county seat for money, but it seems that it is worthless in the countryside?

"Because of the problem of shortage of commodities, if there is more of any kind of commodity, the price will fall, and in the eyes of some people, worthless things will be shipped to other places, because other places need and lack of nature, they can be sold at a good price, this is the essence of commodity circulation!"

"I still don't understand!"

"It's a bit hard to tell you about it now, but you're smart enough to get the hang of it in a short time. Walk! We'll go back for lunch first and then take you to a place where a lot of things start there! ”

The two of them returned the same way, returned to the place where they ate in the morning, and walked into the cafeteria again, Wang You suddenly found that the place where they took food in the morning had become a row of neat dining tables, and many people lined up in a long line to eat at the window, how could it have changed again!

"Don't look at it with strange eyes, you'll get used to it later!"

As he spoke, Zhen Qian was also sent to the back of the team, and the people around him didn't seem to mean to be humble, "Gu Master, are you back?" ”

"Valley master, the big green horse in the horse farm has given birth to a batch of little males, and the coat is pure white and must be a god horse when he grows up!"

"Gu Master, that kid in my family got all the honors in the final exam this time, do you think he will be admitted to Xiucai when he grows up!"

“……”

"Gu Master, my daughter will get married in a few days, and I will come to the house to have a glass of happy wine!"

Zhen Qian replied with a smile and a little bit, and soon the team slowly advanced to the window, "Gu Master, what are you eating today?" ”

"Hmmm! Have a pickled roast pork and a lion's head, and you can do the rest! ”

"Okay!" The man who looked like a chef in the window was full of red light, and he smiled and gave Zhen Qian a big bowl of vegetables like a small mountain, "Gu Master, try the sweet and sour lotus I burned today, it tastes good!" ”

"Do you want to be the chef of the valley, do you want to bribe me by giving me so many dishes?"

"Valley Lord, look at what you said, but I really want to go out and see it, my skills will not be worse than the imperial kitchen!"

"Good! It's a good thing to have an idea, since you want to be an imperial chef, I'll give you a chance, but your skills must be passed on to the three apprentices without reservation, and I recommend you out of the valley! ”

As soon as the man heard this, he immediately added a few pigeon eggs to Zhen Qian's vegetable pot, "Gu Master, this is what you said, the five apprentices I brought will be out of the school in another month, and you will have to talk and count after the assessment!" ”

Zhen Qian glared at the man, "Have you seen me talk and count?" ”

The man raised his greasy palm and wanted to high-five Zhen Gan, and when he heard Zhen Qian, he laughed innocently, "I just want to go out and see how much of my craft I have learned from the valley master, and I just go back to my hometown and shake it, but I don't want to stay outside for a lifetime, this is my home, I can't bear to live a good life here......."

"If you know! Do a good job, wait for your apprentice to come out of the school and then go to Uncle Wang, he will arrange for you to go out of the valley, remember the rules in the valley when you get outside, this will always be your home! ”

Wang You didn't know what Zhen Qian and this fat chef were talking about, what imperial kitchen and palace, could it be that Zhen Qian still knew the people in the palace?

"Da Lang, are all the chefs in Juxian Mansion outside coming out of the valley?"

Zhen Qian said mysteriously: "What do you say? ”

Wang You found that the valley was inextricably linked with the outside world, and when he thought of this, he suddenly found that Zhen Qian in front of him had become more mysterious, in this case, why did he hide the valley, was it because he was afraid that people would discover his secret?

"The taste of the food here is similar to that of Juxian Lou, but the level of refinement is a little worse, such a person can also be an imperial chef?"

"Your mouth is also drunk", Zhen Qian scolded with a smile: "What do you know, the meals of thousands of people are served here every day, if they are all as fine as Juxian Lou, the chefs here are not tired to death, and it is already very good to be able to achieve the current level!" ”

"Thousands!" Wang You was taken aback, this is not a small amount, and it is right to think about it, it is really not easy for thousands of people to eat so deliciously.

With Wang You's in-depth understanding of the valley, even an ordinary person can see the difference between the valley and the outside world, there are no slaves in the valley, in Zhen Qian's words: only the difference in occupation, no difference in identity, although Zhen Qian promised to release Wang You at the right time very early, but the slave status has been like a mountain pressing Wang You breathlessly, even if he is released in the future, what can he do, he was not a slave before, just like his relatives are thieves, and others see himself as a thief. It's not something that can be eliminated with one or two sentences and a good paperwork.

But the meaning of abolishing slavery is different, there is no distinction between good and low, everyone gets along equally, this is a kind of spiritual liberation, I don't know how many times greater than the meaning of releasing good documents, no wonder everyone in the valley has a look of reverence and admiration in their eyes when they see Zhen Qian.

Not only that, the rank of the generals in the valley has been abolished, every profession should be respected, the level of the profession does not represent the level of status, how much courage is needed to do this!

Wang You's heart swelled with huge waves, in front of him was a new world, a world that completely subverted cognition, from everyone, everything to every decision in the valley is incompatible with the outside world, although it is still Datang, it is 108,000 miles away from Datang.

This small world has brought too many surprises to Wang Youlai, and I don't know how many surprises are waiting for him to .......

After the two had lunch, Zhen Qian took Wang You to the fourth floor of the service center, and in a spacious room, more than 20 people sat around a large round table, fighting for something, and the voice could be heard from a distance!

"What are you talking about, the government military system is not good, and the recruitment system is good! Then you talk about what is good about the government military system, and where is the recruitment system good, the valley lord said that a meaningless quarrel is a waste of time, since you bring it up, just put the facts and reason, don't say one bad at a time, let everyone else listen to your high opinions! ”

"Good! Since you are not convinced, then I will tell you that the government military system is a compulsory military service system that integrates soldiers and farmers, and the government soldiers usually work at home and farm, and when they have free time, they will train, and when they want to fight or serve, they will bring weapons and food to the assembly place to participate in the war; The conscription system is a kind of professional military system, in which the government or some forces openly recruit civilians into the army, take soldiers as their profession, train them for a long time, and pay them salaries, ordnance and equipment, and ....... ”
