Although the state is becoming more and more prosperous, the streets are very neat and clean, in contrast to the filthy and messy towns in other places.

Regardless of whether the migrant population rents, does business or works, there must be a local military household as a guarantor, and if any of the scrious household owners do not report it, the ten households in A will be jointly and severally punished. Under this kind of tight control network, it is very difficult for foreign spies to survive.

After Ye Xizhi and the others lived in the inn, they were almost investigated by the shopkeeper for three generations.

The first feeling is that the local people in Baoan Prefecture are very wary of outsiders, extremely grouped, and even a little xenophobic. They are also very proud and boast of being Taoyuan residents.

Of course, they have the capital of pride, they are the first state and county in the north of the Ming Dynasty without banditry, the first state and county where ordinary people can eat well, and the first place where there are no outcasts and starving people. In the current year of Daming, it is a very worthy achievement.

Ye Xizhi and the two have traveled to many places, compared with other places, the people here seem to have more things, the two discussed for a long time, and finally summed up four words: self-confidence, high-spirited. The people here are full of hope for life, which is very different from the numbness and panic of the people in other places, and this unique temperament is impressive.

Speaking of which, the residents of Baoan Prefecture have just entered the food and clothing, and there are many places that are richer than them, but life here is stable and calm, and there is no precariousness elsewhere. In the past few years, there have been many wealthy families in the state of immigration, and they are interested in the stability and security here.

In addition to these people, the people in the vicinity even more crowded their heads to come in, they worked for the local people for part-time work, sold crafts, or joined the official organization of the farming team, various mines and livestock farms, etc., and tried every possible means to find a local household registration, especially the military household registration, and finally moved their families here to live a stable life. Although life is hard, there is always hope.

"General Dingguo is a genius, and he didn't want to get rid of the world's famous strong army, and this civil governance is also so outstanding. Brother Gongfu, I want the general to take a fancy to him and take him under his command, but it is not so easy. ”

Ye Xizhi stared out the window for a long time, and said to Qin Yi with emotion. After the battle, there will be a reward for capture, the war in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, I heard that the general of Dingguo went to war, recaptured the population of 200,000, silver and grain, cattle and horses.

After these rewards, almost every sergeant received a few taels or even dozens of taels of silver, and the officers had even more. With the money in their hands, there was no need for them to sell their grain. Moreover, due to the hunger and cold in previous years, the local people seemed to be hungry and afraid, and the silver in their hands was vigorously used to buy grain in addition to buying daily necessities and improving their lives.

The local rice shops were quickly emptied, and even cloth, salt, tea, etc. were in short supply, and prices rose all the way. Seeing that it was profitable, businessmen from other places came to Baoan Prefecture to set up shops to buy and sell. Of course, at this time, there was a great drought in the north, and the soldiers were constantly plagued, and the displaced people were gathered. Neighboring states and counties also have fewer food shipments.

If grain and rice goods are transported as far as Taiyuan, or even further south, the price of goods will be further raised. Moreover, the people's sense of smell is sensitive, and they sense that troubled times are coming, that is, some of the common people and squires have food, and they would rather hoard it than sell it, lest they exchange it for some useless silver that they cannot eat and drink.

Unconsciously, there was some chaos in Jiangnan at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the excessive commercial development in Jiangnan caused farmers to vigorously grow cash crops, but they were reluctant to grow grain. In the end, Jiangnan, known as the granary, can't even be self-sufficient in its own food, let alone supply the northern land of the Ming Dynasty.

The influx of silver from overseas is as high as hundreds of millions of taels, the physical goods are less, and the silver is more, and the prices in various parts of the Jiangnan region are rising rapidly, and the people are miserable and bankrupt.

The local residents of Baoan Prefecture are full of rice bowls, and these rising prices have little impact on them. However, those foreign businessmen and ordinary people who came to Baoan Prefecture to make a living complained bitterly, and although they were full of hope, they also lamented that it was not easy to make a living in Baoan Prefecture.

"Inflation", Qin Yi and the others don't understand the word "afterlife", but they can feel the undercurrent surging in it. How to deal with this problem is a great test of the vision and ability of those in power in the security state.

Of course, these questions are also one of the opportunities for Qin Yi and the others to make a living and advance.
