"After traveling through time like this, you should give me a golden finger or something. Otherwise, how could I survive in this era? I would lose the face of the time-traveling army."
"Other people at least know how to make glass. At least they can start some small industries and earn some wealth, or they may know steam engines, spinning jenny, etc."
"But, I'm a liberal arts student, but I'm still a bad student. Newton's three laws were only thought of when he was hit on the head by an apple."
"The sharp weapons of this time-traveling army are glass, spinning machines, iron smelting, gunpowder ratios, etc. I don't know anything about time-traveling or soul-traveling. I didn't even bring sweet potatoes, corns, potatoes, etc., otherwise I wouldn't be able to do it anyway.
You can make a solid job out of this."
Thinking of those historical time travel novels he had read before, Liu Jin couldn't help but cry. He really cried.
Liu Jin regrets it. If he knew that he could travel through time when reading novels, he should have taken a closer look at how to make glass, how to make spinning machines when reading those historical novels, and he should have taken a good look at it when reading.
If you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not only be able to travel around the world, but you will also be able to use it even across time.
"Ding dong, your customized gold finger has arrived, please accept it."
At this moment, a voice sounded in Liu Jin's mind, making Liu Jin almost jump out of surprise.
"Haha~ It's indeed a time-traveling army. I'm from a bad background, and if Goldfinger comes to join me, I always have to look like a human being."
Liu Jin suddenly felt happy.
An interface appeared in Liu Jin's mind. This interface was a bit like the skill talent maps in various games. Most of the places were dark and nothing could be seen at all. Only the beginning was lit.
.
"What a stupid cheat, why didn't you explain it at all?"
Soon, Liu Jin couldn't help but cursed again, because after studying for a long time, Liu Jin suddenly discovered that he seemed to have found nothing. Except for the sound that just started to appear, except for the interface that appeared in his mind, there seemed to be nothing.
No.
This golden finger neither continued to make any sounds, nor had any text description, and I didn't know how to use it. It seemed that it was of no use for the time being.
"Hey, Goldfinger?"
"system?"
"What a thief?"
"Why don't you give me some reaction? How can I use it if you ask me to do this? Why don't you give me some tasks, lottery draws, experience points, etc. This will be more reasonable."
Liu Jin kept shouting at Gold Finger in his mind, but Gold Finger remained unmoved and showed no response. This made Liu Jin unable to help but feel discouraged.
"Is it because I didn't activate it?"
"Or are there any special triggering conditions?"
"Or am I dreaming and everything in front of me is fake?"
Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help but pinch his thigh hard.
"Ouch~"
A very real pain came again, which made Liu Jin sure that he was not dreaming, but that he had really traveled through time, and that he still traveled through time with a golden finger. It was just a cheating time travel, a cheating golden finger.
"Oh~ I'll settle down as soon as I come. After all, I'm a member of the time-traveling army. At least I have a golden finger."
After a long time, Liu Jin reluctantly accepted this reality, and began to carefully sort out the memories of the original owner of this body in his mind.
It is now 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 Zhu Youtang, Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, the ninth emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Hongzhi was generous and kind, practiced frugality, was not secretive, diligent in political affairs, valued justice, spoke out, worked hard to reverse the corruption in government, and expelled
He was a traitor, diligent in political affairs, worked hard to govern, and appointed upright ministers such as Wang Shu and Liu Daxia, which was called Hongzhi Zhongxing in history.
Even though the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all thoroughly disgraced by later generations of book editors, they still spoke highly of Emperor Hongzhi. But the most touching thing was his generosity and kindness, no matter who he treated.
He treats everyone with kindness, even to his enemies.
Some historians have commented that the Ming Dynasty could have lasted for more than 100 years after it was passed to him, and his contribution was indispensable. If it were not for Emperor Hongzhi, the Ming Dynasty would most likely not have been passed down for more than 200 years.
As a fan of historical novels, Liu Jin has naturally read many historical novels that travel back to the Hongzhi Dynasty. Although the period during the reign of Emperor Hongzhi was not the best period of the Ming Dynasty, at least it was definitely the most reassuring.
of a dynasty.
The factory guards who made people angry in the Ming Dynasty were harmless to humans and animals under the jurisdiction of Emperor Hongzhi, and the ministers above the court were not the kind of powerful ministers, and were very good in all aspects.
It's a pity that Emperor Hongzhi died young and died at the age of thirty-six in the 18th year of Hongzhi's reign. The Emperor Wuzong Zhengde of Ming Dynasty who succeeded him, Zhu Houzhao, was another fun-loving emperor.
This is the background of this era, and for Liu Jin, at least it's 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-yielding, cold-resistant, drought-resistant crops of corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops in the Americas have not yet spread to the Ming Dynasty.
here.
Once there is a famine or the like, refugees will immediately appear everywhere, and farmers who cannot survive will raise the flag of uprising one after another, and the Japanese pirates along the southeast coast will become more and more violent. It can be said that it is also an era of internal and external troubles.
In particular, the owner of this body, Liu Jin, was from Changli County, Yongping Prefecture, Beizhili Province. In later generations, this location would probably be Changli County under Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province.
If you look at it in modern times, the location here is quite good, because it is very close to Beijing and Tianjin, and at the same time, it is also on the Bohai Sea. It is close to the sea and Beijing and Tianjin, so 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, transportation in ancient times was inconvenient, so you basically had to walk. The key is that people in all dynasties have been restricted from traveling. If you want to travel far away, you need to find a road guide from the local government. Without this, it is illegal to travel far away.
, to be punished.
Therefore, even if it is close to the emperor's feet, it is difficult to go to Beijing.
As for the advantage of being close to the sea, there is no need to mention it. The Ming Dynasty has implemented routine sea bans since the founding of Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to strictly prevent Japanese pirates and pirates that began to appear in the late Yuan Dynasty.
Although there was Zheng He's heroic voyage to the West during the Yongle period, only official tribute trade was open, and private individuals were still not allowed to go to sea. Then as the Japanese pirates became more and more serious, the sea ban policy became more and more strict.
, to the point where sails are no longer allowed to go into the sea.
Being close to the sea is not like that of later generations. It means that you can go fishing in the sea, build ports, attract investment, and have convenient ocean transportation and so on.
In this era, being close to the sea not only brings no benefits to the people living along the coast, but is also synonymous with poverty.
The fields near the sea are basically the lowest-quality fields, and their output is far inferior to that of the plains in the interior, let alone the fertile fields in the land of plenty.
Changli County, Yongping Prefecture, is relatively good, as it is close to the sea in the north. If you are in the southeast coastal area, you still have to worry about attacks by Japanese pirates and pirates, and the situation will be even worse.
So in this era, people who live by the sea are much poorer than those who live on the mountains. At least those who live on the mountains can still eat from the mountains. At least they don’t have to worry about firewood. Occasionally, if they are lucky, they can even have some game.
If people who live near the sea can't go to the sea, their lives will be hard to imagine.
Of course, in this era, even if you are allowed to go to sea, with limited navigation skills, fighting waves in the sea requires not only courage, but also luck.
Liu Jin carefully sorted out the memories in his mind, combined with the historical novels he had read, the history, geography knowledge he had learned, etc., and roughly figured out the current situation. It can be said that the starting point was really low.
