Out of the cage

Chapter 1180 Chapter 25.06 (Part 2) Village Friendship

After arriving at the family fiefdom, Wei Keng looked at the ancient city of Pingyao. The painting style here was different from what he had imagined.

Wei Keng's impression of the ancient city comes from the 21st century, black bricks and tiles, piled towers, the overall tone is dark, and some modern red lanterns are hung on the upper floor

How should I put it, from the standpoint of "maintaining cultural relics in their original state", this is very good, but it is very contrasting, just like red Spring Festival couplets pasted on rough houses.

In this world line right now, since the dynasty is withdrawing in stages, all inland local things keep pace with the times.

The brick and tile structure of the city wall is still ancient stone, and these fine green bricks are extremely expensive now. But the rammed earth inside has been turned into reinforced concrete.

The outside of the city wall is pasted with bluish-white tiles, and the bricks and tiles are modern silver-white.

If we say that Wei Keng's old impression of the ancient city is "an old woman with gray hair and gray cloth", what he sees with his own eyes is "but a beautiful woman with exquisite and elegant Hanfu"

People in the ancient city wall went up and down, and the inner side of the city leaned on the steps to walk up, and the outer side of the city was a hanging basket.

Now, on the outside of the city wall, six small concave concrete buildings have been built. The recesses of the small cement buildings face the city wall, and an elevator is protected in the recesses. If you return to the military defense stage, the elevator in the groove can be cut off at any time and will not be used by others.

Therefore, outside the city, the overall style of the entire city wall has not changed, but there are a few more square "convex" walls, which appear more angular.

This combination of ancient and modern design reveals the richness of history and modern ingenuity.

Wei Keng let out a breath and understood the reason for such a painting style.

That is, in the ancient times of the main world, antiquities belonged to the country, and everyone was protecting public property, and had no right to change and add creativity independently, and could only preserve the original appearance. But bound up in this way, ancient Chinese architecture is forever frozen in the old era just like photos.

But in this era, because the inland system did not suddenly leapfrog modern times, the old owner of property rights boldly carried out "trend" follow-up on some old things after the development of modern productive forces, showing that he was looking for newness.

Specifically, these inland clans put tiles on the city walls and added elevators in order to advertise "freedom and enlightenment".

…"New ideas" and "new trends", the bones do not change, but the skin changes. …

Wei Keng took a deep breath, and entered the city through the main gate of the city wall. The guard on duty saw the "Wang Shou" ID card and paused: "Master Shou" is back.

Although Wei Keng didn't know this relative, he still clasped his fists at this relative.

…Wei Keng: I came back, walked into the city wall, patted the city wall casually, and dug a hole in an inconspicuous place on the inner wall...

Productivity determines production relations, but in modern times, objectively, productivity was unbalanced.

In real history, the Eastern Zhongguo was a strong and progressive force, promoting unification on a vast territory.

As a person who grew up under the red flag in that era, Wei Keng didn't feel any difference. After all, Qin Huang's "cars are in the same track, books are in the same text", this is the foundation of a unified dynasty.

But in fact, after entering the industrial age, all super-large countries cannot maintain the consistency of urban and rural development in various regions.

India Du, Meilijian, Baqi. Both can only maintain the modernization of the coastal areas, and the inland areas are more or less feudalized. Meilijian is also a big city on the western coastline, chasing freedom and openness, and all kinds of religiousism and conservatism prevail in the inland.

This is determined by productivity. When globalization does not require the inland to participate in large-scale industrial manufacturing, then the economic and political "freedom and openness" of the inland is unnecessary, and it can only be opened in "culture". For example, in America in the 21st century, those "cultural" progressives practiced "freedom" in all aspects, which can be called weird places, and were called white leftists.

… Wei Keng, who has rich experience in foreign work: Pretend to work hard, that is the easiest. …

So in this plane of China, the inland economy is "grain", "mineral" and "energy", as well as some unsystematic "technological enterprises".

In Jindi, even small products from hardware stores are shipped from the eastern region. The online shopping system is completely inconsistent with "Jiangzhehu". Therefore, the clan-regional structure is perfectly preserved.

You must taste the local culture

After Wei Keng came to his hometown, he wanted to live alone, but a lot of people came to the guest room soon.

The relatives on these genealogies asked all kinds of questions, they were very familiar with the seniority, uncle, uncle, grandfather, nephew, they called it clearly. Wei Keng had a bewildered look at first, but now he looked familiar.

Wei Keng sighed: This is the relatives in the countryside.

...Wei Keng roared in his heart: Who the hell wants to ask me if I am married? I am in a hurry with him...

This kind of process of making relatives with people you don't know was annoying in the ancient times of the main world.

This is because in ancient times, everyone was an office worker, and their energy was quite exhausted, and they had no time to deal with communication.

But here, Wei Keng had nothing to do, and quickly got used to the rhythm of life of "the young master of the Eight Banners walking the streets with birds".

In inland cities, the local people have "hardcore crops". This kind of social welfare is not much, but it is definitely enough.

Wei Keng returned to his hometown to register, and received 3,000 or so monthly living expenses in the village from the grain collection office in the village and the clan accountant. ——If you receive this money, you will definitely not commit crimes!

Although this cost of living is not comparable to the money earned in big cities, it must be said: There is no rent in the local area. The clan has arranged a house for you, and you are allowed to live there. The water and electricity bills are free if they do not exceed the quota.

The only downside is that the Internet fee is a bit expensive. But the local LAN does not care about network fees. Moreover, the men in the clan prefer fishing, and they spend a whole day fishing.

Two days later, on the tower of the ancient city, Wei Keng, who was flying a kite with strings, looked at the kite swaying in the sky, and let out a sigh of relief: "It's really easy to live here. There is no involution, and you can live a long life."

Narrator: Although it is easy here, everyone has to participate in the busy farming season in the countryside. Otherwise, you will be judged as a lazy man in the village.

Although this kind of "lazy" evaluation is not as clear as performance punishment in large enterprises in developed regions. But this kind of "label" itself is punishment, and it will be mentioned by the villagers when they meet. Once it is spread in all directions, no daughter's family is willing to marry.

Wei Keng: Oh, distribution according to needs, which is similar to "high development of high welfare in Northern Europe in the main world", that is, although the new generation of service facilities will be stopped, all existing basic social welfare will be fully guaranteed.

Wei Keng: "Damn it, in my time, experts said it was communism? Pooh, it's just that under globalization, after transferring heavy production tasks to "incomplete sovereignty areas", the profits are high. Produce dividends and maintain a prosperous life.”

The history of the main world in the late 21st century; the simple Nordic society followed the third-generation social software (short video) instilling a lot of prosperity and vanity, people were confused, and the simplicity was led to the Virgin Mary, the double standard, and finally collapsed completely.

When Wei Keng flies a kite on the city wall, it is like Jiang Taigong fishing. ——Clear and clear work and rest, fixed time appears in an easy-to-find place.

On the city wall, Wei Keng watched a figure appear at his feet under the setting sun.

Wei Keng took off the straw hat that covered his face.

Wei Keng: "Oh, isn't this Brother Xin?" After staying in the country for a long time, Wei Keng has also learned the ways of the world.

This Wang Huaixin is Wei Keng's second brother, and he is also the current favorite in the clan to win the title.

He is indeed popular, because compared to Wei Keng, he married the daughter of a nobleman and already has children. There are also frequent visits to the elders in the clan.

Of course, once he confirmed the title of title, Wei Keng's line would be regarded as a side branch.

The lineage is passed on from son to brother.

Sitting next to Wei Keng, Wang Huaixin said, "Brother Shou, it's a leisurely life."

Wei Keng: "Yeah, I'm really tired in the city, so I want to enjoy the happiness when I go home." Although it was just chatting, Wei Keng also knew that this old man came to ask for his support.

One of the prerequisites for becoming the suzerain, brother and friend respect is also a bonus option.

At present, the process of seizing the heir is getting more and more intense, and everyone can see that "Wang Shou" is not interested in doing this, so this "Xin brother" is now here to do homework, and by the way, he is looking for this old man who came back from the city, Talk about your views on your hometown.

A few days ago, brother Wang Huaifu also came to look for Wei Keng, and he had a box of banknotes in his hands. At that time, Wei Keng smiled and refused: "No merit, no reward, no blessing."

Seeing what Wei Keng said was so beautiful, Wang Huaifu thought the matter was settled.

But as everyone knows, Wei Keng couldn't accept the price he offered.

Wei Keng: Brother Fu is eager for quick success, or he may abandon it at will after the limelight passes. And I took a windfall from someone who is not generous enough, which is tantamount to bringing disaster.

Right now, under Brother Xin's gentle coaxing, Wei Keng inadvertently put forward his own request, that is to let Brother Xin find an errand for him.

Wei Keng looked at the map and inadvertently proposed a location. Brother Xin hesitated for a while and nodded: "You can try this. But brother, you have to fight to get into that place."

The place Wei Keng pointed out was an underground "giant magnetic fusion" power station in the east of Taiyuan. Those who work there are people from the energy group who are responsible for the operation, but some positions are supervised by local people.
