    The capital of the Ming Dynasty.

    ??The sky is clear, the wind is sunny, and the autumn air is crisp. It is really a good weather.

    The temperature is neither high nor low, and it is the most comfortable time of the year.

    Liu Jin walked around the campus of Imperial College London, looking at the golden fallen leaves covering the campus roads, and then looking at the energetic young students on campus.

    The whole person couldn¡¯t help but sigh. He seemed to be really old, just like this season. Although the residual heat of summer is still exuding, autumn is thick and winter is approaching.

    This year, widespread and large-scale disaster weather has occurred around the world, resulting in a significant reduction in agricultural production and revenue in many places around the world.

    ¡°In regions like the Ottoman Empire, the Persian Empire, Egypt, and Europe, there are many people at the bottom who are suffering from hunger at this moment.

    Expensive food is depriving them of food invisibly, making them poorer and poorer. It is normal for them to sell their children and daughters.

    But all this is far away to the people of Ming Dynasty, and the impact is very small.

    Although several northern provinces in the Ming Dynasty are almost facing widespread production reductions or even no harvests, the impact on the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty has been minimal.

    The price of food has not fluctuated at all. The Ming Empire has enough food reserves to feed the people of the Ming Dynasty for several years.

    What's more, the proportion of agriculture in the mainland provinces of the Ming Empire has been declining rapidly, especially in Beizhili.

    As early as more than ten years ago, few people were growing food here in Beizhili, and most people were developing other more valuable agriculture.

    Such as breeding, fruit planting, flower and tree planting, vegetable planting, etc. Vegetable greenhouses are very common in Beizhili. In winter, the vegetables produced here in Beizhili can not only satisfy the huge demand in the Beijing-Tianjin area  The demand has even enabled large-scale support to be sent to other parts of the Ming Dynasty, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty can eat the freshest vegetables even in winter.

    So even if there is drought or something, the impact on these places is not great. Advances in science and technology and industrial changes have made the impact of natural disasters on these places less and less.

    Reflecting on the lives of people in the Beijing-Tianjin area, it is that the lives of people in the Beijing-Tianjin area have not changed at all. They are still living the happy life of citizens of a powerful empire as before.

    Liu Jin carefully observed these students on campus.

    First of all, the most profound thing that affected Liu Jin was that these students were generally taller, especially compared with before, these young people today are much taller.

    When Liu Jin just traveled through time, Liu Jin's biggest impression was that the people of the Ming Dynasty were not very tall. The average height of men was probably only about 160 centimeters. As for women, it was even shorter. There were short people everywhere, one was 170 centimeters tall.  Even though he is tall, he is tall and tall.

    You must know that this is the northern region. In later generations, the average height of men in Shandong and Hebei was around 180cm, and for women, it was around 170cm.

    But in the Ming Dynasty, the height of this Ming Dynasty man was more than ten centimeters shorter, and it was difficult to see people over 180 meters tall.

    Now after more than thirty years of development, look at these young people today. They are all tall and tall. They have basically returned to the average height level of later generations.

    There is no doubt that this is mainly because the diet of the Ming Dynasty people has undergone decisive changes. In the past, it was a problem for the Ming Dynasty people to even eat enough. Now, the Ming Dynasty people can not only eat enough, but also eat well.

    Fish, shrimps and crabs in the ocean, cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland, pigs, chickens, ducks and geese in the farms, etc., these have become home-cooked dishes on the dining tables of the Ming Dynasty people.

    Born in such a new era, these young people of the Ming Dynasty are constantly growing in height, tall and strong, and there are even a large number of over-nourished fat people.

    Fat people were rare in the past. Fat people could only be found in landlords' families. It was impossible for ordinary families to have fat people, because it was impossible to raise fat people without enough food.

    But now, in the Ming Empire, especially in the Beijing and Tianjin areas, fat people are very common. Even ordinary families have a lot of fat people.

    This situation is similar to that of later generations.

    Before the reform and opening up, living conditions were not good, there were very few fat people, and the heights were generally short. However, after the reform and opening up, people's living standards continued to improve.

    There are more and more fat people, and one by one of the younger generation??They are generally tall, and one person is tall and tall.

    ??Just judging from the height of the younger generation, the development of the Ming Empire over the past few decades has been fruitful.

    It can even be said that the current Ming Empire is better than that of later generations.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    In the northern grasslands, Western Regions, Central Asia, Northwest, Hezhong, Black Earth, Australia, Golden Continent, etc., the Ming people had a large amount of land and high-quality grasslands to graze cattle and sheep.

    The number of cattle and sheep produced is very large, and coupled with the convenient transportation of railways and highways, it can be continuously transported to various parts of the Ming Empire.

    ??In terms of the price of beef and mutton, the price of beef and mutton is not much more expensive than the price of pork. Pork is sixty-seven cents per catty, and the price of beef and mutton is only eighty-nine cents per catty.

    This price can be said to be very cheap!

    In later generations, the price of beef and mutton has generally been tens of kilograms. This price is very expensive. Ordinary families are generally not willing to eat beef and mutton every day.

    But for the people of the Ming Dynasty in this period, eating beef and mutton for every meal was no problem at all. Compared with the income of the people of the Ming Dynasty, eight or nine cents per pound of beef and mutton was not a problem at all.

    Now the average annual income of people in the Ming Dynasty is almost 200 taels of silver. One tael of silver is equal to 1,000 wen. Eating beef and mutton does not put any pressure on the people of the Ming Dynasty. Sometimes they even think that beef and mutton are not delicious.  pork.

    This is the current Ming Empire. It has a huge pasture, enough to produce huge cattle and sheep to supply the dining tables of the Ming people, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty do not have to worry about meat.

    "Compared to the pastures of later generations and the huge population of more than one billion, the beef and mutton produced are far from enough, and it is normal for the price to be high.

    You must know that in other parts of the world, such as Australia, South America and Argentina, where there are many pastures and small populations, it is very common for them to eat beef and mutton. The price is also very low, and ordinary people can eat it at will.

    To sum up, the current Ming Empire has fewer people and more land, and is rich in resources, so it can lead a comfortable life.

    Liu Jin¡¯s face was filled with a smile.

    I have traveled through time and worked hard for decades, just for today, for this moment.

    Seeing these new generation Ming people, Liu Jin felt that his efforts were worth it and that all his efforts were rewarded.

    The great descendants of Yan and Huang have been the most diligent and intelligent nation since ancient times.

    However, the life of the people of the Yan and Huang Dynasties has not been very good. There have been too many sufferings in history. In later generations, they have experienced hundreds of years of suffering and have become poor and weak.

    Even though we are working hard to catch up, relying on the efforts of several generations to slowly catch up with the pace of the world, there is still a big gap compared to the world's powerful countries.

    Especially for the people at the bottom, the pressure is too great. Mortgage, education, medical care and elderly care are still big problems and a lot of pressure.

    Look at the current Ming Empire.

    The descendants of Yan and Huang are all over the world, occupying the vastest land, the most resources, and the greatest wealth, living the best life and enjoying the happiest moments.

    In Liu Jin¡¯s opinion, this is what the descendants of Yan and Huang should look like and live.

    Because only in this way can we be worthy of the hard work and wisdom of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

    ¡°It¡¯s time to see Ming Dynasty¡¯s first airplane!¡±

    Liu Jin sighed for a while, and then walked towards a test site on campus.

    The reason why Liu Jin came to Imperial College this time was mainly because he was invited by Imperial College to watch the first airplane in human history invented by Imperial College.
