It can be said that every villager in Anxin is a prosperous citizen, but if they leave Anxin, they will be poor and poor in the city for hundreds of years.

The powder sold at this time was made of lead, tin, aluminum, etc., also known as Hu powder. It was fine in texture and white in color. It was indeed loved by women. However, because the price was higher, thrifty housewives were reluctant to buy it and only used homemade

Yes, only a few wealthy people buy it.

Under the Anxin rule, more and more villagers became wealthy. This was because of the purple love for the people. Luxury goods such as rouge, lead powder, brocade silk, porcelain, and cane sugar that were difficult to sell elsewhere were now sold by merchants of all sizes.

Li Yi walked around the streets selling lead powder. Whenever he met someone who was good at talking, he would behave like a chatterbox and induce the other person to chat with him for a while.

At this time, Li Yi passed by a market and met an old man sunbathing at the door of a shop. This man was a bit talkative. Li Yi was just trying to understand the sentiments of the people, so the two chatted in front of the shop for a long time. Under Li Yi's deliberate guidance

Next, the old man confided a lot about An Xin's recent affairs.

Li Yi immediately cheered up. When talking about it, he learned that one of the old man's two sons had entered the Anxin Railway Brigade, and the other was doing business in the city, pretending to be unhappy: "Although Anxin is rich, the circulation of goods is difficult."

We rely on the management of the old people's home, fearing that if there is a disaster, everyone will starve to death."

The old man glared and said displeased: "Why do you slander the village home like this? I, Anxin, as long as one person is a brave man, a family can be divided into twenty acres of land, and if one person is a craftsman, a family can be divided into twenty acres of land, no matter what happens

What a disaster, if we don’t go farming anymore, why worry about not being able to survive?”

"What my father-in-law said is true, but I saw that there are so many merchants in Anxin and there are only a few in the fields. I am afraid that I will sacrifice my roots to seek the bottom."

The old man breathed out softly and asked: "Hey! Are you a foreigner? I am a saint given by heaven, and I have improved my craftsmanship. Now farming is no longer hard work. Naturally, I have labor-saving tools such as seeders, and every time I have cattle to help me with my farm work."

It can be reduced by more than half. Moreover, the rural home distributes agricultural fertilizer. As long as it is spread, the yield per mu will increase by 20%. Such farming naturally does not require too much labor."

"Oh, then how does my father-in-law know this?" Li Yi asked again.

The old man said: "Every month, the security chief holds a meeting to announce the government decrees of the village elders' home. The old man naturally knows it. And there are notices on both sides of the city gate to inform the people. How can they be deceived."

Li Yi was happy to hear that the promotion was well done.

It is very important to open up people's wisdom, the most important of which is to expand their horizons and subtly allow villagers to participate in the rapid development of Anxin.

But just after hearing the old man say that heaven conferred saints, Li Yi hesitated and said: "My father-in-law said that God conferred saints. What is the explanation? Is it possible that there are gods here?"

"You know a lot!" The old man laughed: "I, Anxin, was originally just a wasteland, how could I create such a prosperous business? This is all because my little benefactor is a saint given by heaven and has the talents of a saint. He not only created the foundation of Anxin, but also

Moreover, he is skillful in reforming the system, driving away thieves and bandits, and has a photographic memory, and has obtained the title of scholar. If this person is not a saint given by heaven, then who is?"

Li Yi laughed when he heard the old man praising him. He did not expect that he was already a god-like existence in the hearts of the villagers.

After leaving the old man, Li Yi saw a teahouse. This teahouse occupies a small area and there are many people coming in and out. The two of them stayed on the road for half an hour. Dozens of people came in and out of the restaurant, mostly

There are craftsmen, brave men, and a few stewards.

The business method of the teahouse was still very novel in this era. As soon as Li Yicai stepped into the teahouse hall door, he saw that there were no walls on the south side, only a few large windows. At this time, they were fully opened, and the scenery of the mountains and rivers was right there.

Not to mention, there is plenty of light in the hall and ventilation to dispel the heat and gas smell in the hall.

The lobby on the first floor is very spacious, but there are also many guests, maybe forty or fifty. They are a bit crowded. Judging from the clothes, they should be ordinary craftsmen, with the occasional two small businessmen from out of town mixed in.

After a quick glance, the layout of the hall is also strange. There are no seats, just beside the wall. There are many wooden chairs nailed in the center. The guests sit on the wooden chairs in various comfortable postures, chatting with each other.

There is also a celadon bowl next to him, which should contain tea.

There are unique stoves in the northeast and southwest corners. On a hot day, both stoves are burning, with pots on them, and steam is emitting from them.
