Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2, it's a golden finger anyway
"Crap time travel!"

Liu Jin cursed again, pointing at the sky.

"Traveling like this, you should give me a golden finger or something. Otherwise, how can I mess around in this era? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the army who traveled through time?"

"Others know how to make glass anyway, at least they can start a small industry and save some property, or they know steam engines, spinning jenny and so on."

"But, I'm a liberal arts student, but I'm still a scumbag. I just know that Newton's three laws came up because he was hit on the head by an apple."

"I don't know anything about glass, spinning machines, iron smelting, and gunpowder ratio, which are the sharp weapons of the army. Traveling is still soul wear. I didn't even bring a sweet potato, corn, or potato. I can rely on this to get a job."

Thinking of the historical travel novels he read before, Liu Jin couldn't help crying, it was real crying.

Liu Jin regrets that, if he knew that he could time travel when reading novels, when he read those historical novels, he should take a good look at how to make glass, how to make spinning machines, etc. To learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, not only will you not be afraid to travel all over the world, but you can even use it after time travel.

"Ding dong, your customized golden finger has arrived, please accept it."

At this moment, a voice sounded in Liu Jin's mind, which made Liu Jin almost jump out in surprise.

"Haha~ As expected, you are going through the army, and your family background is not good. If Goldfinger comes along, you will always have to look like a human being."

Liu Jin immediately felt happy in his heart.

An interface appeared in Liu Jin's mind. This interface is a bit like the skill talent map in various games. Most of the places are dark, and nothing can be seen at all. Only the beginning is lit. .

"What kind of broken gold finger, why didn't you explain it?"

Soon, Liu Jin couldn't help cursing again, because after studying for a long time, Liu Jin suddenly found that he didn't seem to find anything, except for the voice that just started to appear, and the interface that appeared in his mind, it seemed that there was nothing. No.

This golden finger neither continued to make any sound, nor did it have any written instructions, nor did it know how to use it. It seemed that it was useless for the time being.

"Hello, Goldfinger?"

"system?"

"My God?"

"You should give me some feedback, how can I use it if you tell me like this, at least give me some tasks, lottery draws, experience points, etc., so it would be more reasonable."

Liu Jin kept shouting at Goldfinger in his mind, but Goldfinger just remained unmoved and didn't respond, which made Liu Jin couldn't help being discouraged for a while.

"Is it because I didn't activate it?"

"Or is there any special trigger condition?"

"Or maybe I'm dreaming, and everything in front of me is fake?"

Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help pinching his thigh fiercely.

"Ouch~"

A very real pain came again, making Liu Jin sure that he was not dreaming, but had really time-traveled, and he still crossed with a golden finger.

"Hey~ If you come here, you will be safe. At any rate, you are also a member of the crossing army. At any rate, you also have a golden finger."

After a long time, Liu Jin also reluctantly accepted such a reality, and began to carefully sort out the memory of the original owner of the body in his mind.

Now is the tenth year of Hongzhi, that is, 1497. The Ming Dynasty has a history of 120 years and is in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

The current emperor is Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youtang, the ninth emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Hongzhi was generous and kind, practiced frugality, kept a low profile, was diligent in political affairs, attached importance to the judiciary, opened up his voice, and worked hard to reverse the corruption of the government. Drive out traitors, be diligent in political affairs, make great efforts to govern, and appoint Wang Shu, Liu Daxia and other upright ministers, known as Hongzhi Zhongxing in history.

Even though the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all blacked out by the later generations of book repairers, they still gave a very high evaluation of Emperor Hongzhi, but the most moving thing was his generosity and kindness, no matter who he was, He is lenient, even including his enemies.

Some historians commented that the Ming Dynasty could have lasted for more than 100 years when it was handed down to him, and his contribution is indispensable. If it were not for Emperor Hongzhi, the Ming Dynasty would most likely not last for more than 200 years.

As a fan of historical novels, Liu Jin has naturally read many historical novels that traveled back to the Hongzhi Dynasty. Although the period of Emperor Hongzhi’s rule was not the best period of the Ming Dynasty, at least it was definitely the most reassuring of a dynasty.

Under the jurisdiction of Emperor Hongzhi, the factory guards of the Ming Dynasty were harmless to humans and animals, and the ministers above the court were not the kind of powerful ministers, and they were very good in all aspects.

It's just a pity that Emperor Hongzhi died young, and died at the age of thirty-six in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi. His successor, Emperor Wuzong Zhengde Zhu Houzhao, was also a playful master.

This is the background of this era, and for Liu Jin, it is at least not bad.

It’s just that it has been more than 120 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. With the increasingly serious land annexation and the arrival of the Little Ice Age, the high-yield, cold-resistant, and drought-tolerant crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in the Americas have not yet spread to Ming Dynasty. here.

Once there is a famine year or something like that, there will be refugees everywhere, and the peasants who can't survive will raise the banner of uprising one after another, and the Japanese pirates along the southeast coast will become more and more fierce. It can be said that it is also an era of internal and external troubles.

In particular, Liu Jin, the owner of this body, was from Changli County, Yongping Prefecture, North Zhili Province. If this position is placed in later generations, it would probably be Changli County under Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province.

If it is placed in modern times, the location is quite good, because it is very close to the land of Beijing and Tianjin, and at the same time, it is also the Bohai Sea, which is close to the sea and the land of Beijing and Tianjin. The location can be imagined.

But this was the Ming Dynasty, a feudal farming society, and an era of small-scale peasant economy.

Although it is close to Beijing, the transportation was inconvenient in ancient times, and people basically had to walk when they went out. The key is that the travel of ordinary people has been restricted in the past dynasties. If you want to travel far away, you need to ask the local government to issue a guide. Without this thing, if you go far away, you will break the law. , to be punished.

So even if it is close to the foot of the emperor, it is very difficult to go to Beijing.

As for the advantage of relying on the sea, there is no need to mention it. The Ming Dynasty has implemented a routine sea ban since the founding of the country by Zhu Yuanzhang. The purpose is to strictly prevent Japanese pirates and pirates that have appeared since the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

Although there was Zheng He's voyage to the Western Seas during the Yongle period, only official channels of tribute trade were open, and private individuals were still not allowed to go to sea. Later, as the Japanese pirates became more and more serious, the sea ban policy became more and more strict. , so that to the extent that even a piece of sail cannot go to sea.

This sea is not like the later generations, which means that you can go fishing in the sea, you can build ports, you can attract investment, it means convenient marine transportation and so on.

In this era, relying on the sea is not only of no benefit to the common people along the coast, but also synonymous with poverty.

The fields near the sea are basically the most inferior fields, and their output is far inferior to that of the plains in the interior, let alone the fertile fields in the land of fish and rice.

Changli County, Yongping Prefecture is relatively better here, the north is close to the sea, if it is in the southeast coastal area, the situation will be even worse if you have to worry about the attacks of Japanese pirates and pirates at this moment.

So in this era, people who live by the sea are much, much poorer than those who live by the mountains. At least those who live by the mountains can still eat the mountains.

People who live by the sea, if they can't go to the sea, their days can be imagined.

Of course, in this era, even if you are allowed to go to sea, with limited sailing skills, fighting the waves in the sea requires not only courage, but also luck.

Liu Jin carefully sorted out the memories in his mind. Combining the historical novels he had read, the history and geography knowledge he had learned, he also roughly figured out the current situation. It can be said that the starting point is really low.

　This is my first time writing a historical novel, so please point out any mistakes.
