Transform another world

If I want to experiment with a piece of farmland, will I run into resistance? "

Sophia looked at He Anqi in shock, "You still want to use the farmland? That's human life! Every piece of farmland is very important!"

He Anqi nodded understandingly. Sure enough, out of the importance she attached to the farmland, no matter what kind of good ideas she had, she couldn't use them right away. No one would believe that what they did could increase production. They thought more about it. How to keep the current output and then increase the output by increasing the land.

"Sophia, is there any abandoned farmland then?"

Sophia looked at He Anqi with an ugly face, "Do you really want farmland?"

"I urgently need a piece of farmland, even if it is abandoned!" He Anqi said solemnly.

Sophia sighed, and said resignedly, "Yes! But you definitely don't want to go to that place."

"why?"

"It's turned into a cesspit there! All the feces in the entire royal city are concentrated there, and the stench can be smelled every few miles. No one wants to go there." Except for He Anqi, everyone's face was ugly. No one is willing to go there, not even civilians, but judging by He Anqi's appearance, it is obvious that people like herself are going to go there.

As expected, He Anqi's eyes lit up, "This is just right! I want to go over and have a look."

"Can I not go?"

Seeing the livid faces of several people, He Anqi suddenly understood, and after thinking about it, she might not be able to bear the environment, so she said: "It's okay if you don't go, but you can ask someone to help me take care of that side according to the requirements, that way If not, I won't go there."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Sophia said repeatedly: "No problem, you can do whatever you say." Others also nodded vigorously, as long as they don't pass, they can say anything.

He Anqi nodded with a smile. It seemed that these people were frightened. Thinking about it, if I walked around that kind of place, everyone here would probably be able to eat. "By the way, how do you usually deal with the feces in Wangcheng?"

"Every household will take it to the small gate, and there will be a special person in charge."

"Is there someone in charge? The kind that gives money?"

"Yeah, the treasury pays for the trade unions to deal with. Most of these things are like this. The state is responsible for paying the money, and the trade unions will find someone to do it. Basically, some very poor civilians do this kind of work. Most of the work is for orphans who just got out of the orphanage and can't find a job. Although the working environment is not good, the salary is not low, which is equivalent to the salary of a guard. But because of the high labor force, not everyone can do it Yes, so it is basically sub-regional contracting, no matter how many people, as long as the work in hand is done, they can get the money, and how to divide it is none of our business."

"Is this called a special person to take charge?"

"Of course! Because this is a long-term job, basically a package is a year. Whether you want to quit or want to join the group, you need to talk about it in advance."

He Anqi understood, "Then the job of these people is to collect the excrement and pour it into the cesspit?"

"Yeah, what else are you going to do?"

"If I want straw, do I need to buy it?"

"Yes, but it's cheap, how much do you need?"

"Let's talk about it at that time. After I sort it out, you can find someone to take charge of it. This time, you really need someone! But don't look for someone who is impatient, afraid of hardship and tiredness, he needs to follow up for a long time Shit fights."

Sophia's face turned pale. She felt disgusted thinking about this kind of thing. She looked around, and everyone avoided her eyes, obviously unwilling to participate in it.

Sophia trembled for a long time, she could only stare at He Anqi wrongedly, and then let her ignore her gaze.

11. Knowledge of the civilian area (2)

After learning about the way hygiene is handled here, He Anqi has no interest in seeing it for herself.She led a group of people into the city gate and began to wander around the periphery.

Along the way, He Anqi could clearly feel the cautiousness of the group of guards around her, and she could also clearly sense the eyes hiding in the darkness.Those eyes were fearful, curious, vigilant and malicious.But maybe it was because He Anqi and the group were all armed with weapons, so no one dared to approach them at all.

He Anqi found that the outermost civilian area was composed of shacks one after another. Most of the people living here were dressed in shabby clothes and looked dirty, but the inside of the shacks did not emit any stench, nor was it as dirty as imagined. chaos.

He Anqi asked curiously, and Sophia replied: "There are so many people living together, if the sanitation problems are not dealt with, it is easy to cause diseases. Therefore, the sanitation here is also inspected and enforced."

He Anqi nodded, she was not too laissez-faire, and understood the basic health risks.

He Anqi found that although the open space near the city gate did not seem to be occupied, the open space far away from the city gate was full of various vegetables, but He Anqi didn't know any of them.

"Is that all right?"

"It's okay, this is also allowed. There is not enough arable land. It is good to use these corner areas for vegetables and so on. When it is really needed, the vegetable fields will not be too much of a hindrance."

"Can such a small amount of vegetables meet the needs of the entire royal city?"

"Of course it's impossible. There's a dedicated vegetable field outside, but it's still mainly wheat. After all, you can't even eat enough. Who cares how many vegetables are on the table?"

Makes sense!He Anqi is very fortunate that she is in the upper class, if she is thrown in the civilian area, she feels that she will not be able to survive a day.

He Anqi found that in this dilapidated shack area, even the children were working hard, and everyone seemed very busy, as if they never had free time.

"They work so hard, but they may not even be able to eat enough?" He Anqi felt very sad. This kind of scene that only appeared on TV or in books made her very uncomfortable.

"No way, these people are ordinary people without any characteristics. Those who are capable need to go to the battlefield or the deep forest, but they can only do some physical work, and the amount of farmland is very limited, so they can only desperately find something to do. , to have the qualifications to live." Although Sophia felt sorry for these poor civilians, she had nothing to do.Only those with unique abilities can live a better life. There are not many jobs that ordinary people who have no technical content and can only work hard can do.Looking at these people who work hard every day but don't even have enough to eat, Sophia always feels that this is the royal family's dereliction of duty, but there is no good way, they can't be sent outside to die, right?

The group of He Anqi didn't go shopping for too long. After getting to know each other a little bit, the group started to return to the city.Along the way, He Anqi frowned while looking left and right at the surrounding situation.The material life in the civilian area was so poor that she didn't even see a store in the shack area. She didn't see anything like a market until she walked to a better housing area.

But there are very few things inside, basically some vegetables, grains and other food, or some of the most basic living materials, such as cloth, thread and the like.He Anqi felt that even if she could create some useful and excellent products, not many people here could afford them.No matter how close the price is to the people, for these common people, having enough to eat is the most important thing.

He Anqi has also gained some preliminary understanding of the world's currencies and prices these days, and she came to the conclusion that food is frighteningly expensive!Considering that food is not easy to come by, and the law of the market has always been that the rare is the most expensive, He Anqi has no way to raise objections to the food price.After all, according to Sophia, even the royal family doesn't have much food left over, and they still have to feed the troops who are fighting abroad.

In the bustling area, there are many more shops here, people are dressed more gorgeously, their faces look rosy, and they finally have a healthy posture.

He Anqi wandered around for a while, and found that although the place was bustling, it seemed deserted. Although there were pedestrians on the road, compared with the front, it seemed empty.

"At this time, the adults are basically working and the children are at school, so it's a bit deserted."

"There is still a school here?" He Anqi was a little surprised, she thought there was no such facility here.

Sophia nodded and explained patiently: "Most of the nobles hire tutors. After their children's characteristics are revealed, it is very expensive to hire someone to teach them. Common people can't afford them anyway. But I I also said that these wealthy commoners have always hoped that they can become real nobles, so even if they can't afford tutors, they still need to learn knowledge. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of these people, the church has established church schools, unlike noble families. Such one-on-one teaching, but one teacher teaches multiple students, and then uses the tuition fees of a group of people to support one teacher. In fact, some poor little nobles will also go to such schools, and the children of these little nobles are The best choice for commoners who want to climb high. Even if they are run-down nobles, nobles are nobles after all, and their social circles are different. These rich commoners are happy to use money to make friends with these run-down nobles, and then through them contact with higher nobles, both take what they need,
