Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 260 Street Lights
As night fell, Wujin County was brightly lit.

After half a month of hard work, solar street lights have been installed on the main roads of Wujin.At the entrances of each square, two solar street lamps were also installed to provide a little light for the poor at home.

The light in the dark night made the people of Changzhou fall into a huge shock!
This is a feeling that is difficult for modern people to understand.

Torches and lanterns can illuminate, but the dim light cannot dispel the darkness.And the solar street lights installed now make the eyes of the ancients almost fall off!
No oil, no wax, it will automatically light up at night, and the light will be a few blocks away from the lantern.They have lived their entire lives, groping in the dark at night, and have never seen such a bright light.

Some scholars no longer have to endure the dim candlelight.The county magistrate also installed street lights at the entrance of the workshop, which are brighter than those on the main road. Here, they can read in peace without worrying about the inconvenience caused by the curfew.

Those who have attended literacy classes are not very unfamiliar with this thing.Because in the literacy class, there are also such oil-free lamps.What shocked them was that the magistrate had installed such street lights throughout the city, and planned to install such lights on the official roads outside the city as well.

For such an official, it is really difficult for them to understand.

Although this lamp does not need oil, it must be maintained with immortal energy, right?Isn't this a waste?And these instruments must be very valuable!
How much does it cost to install so many lights on the side of the road?
Light brings life to the night.

Although the Ming Dynasty imposed a curfew, the nightlife in the market has never stopped.It's just that nights like this used to belong to the rich, but now, with the advent of street lights, ordinary people can also enjoy this night.

Three or five people gathered under the street lamps, listening to scholars talking about the past and the present, anecdotes and anecdotes.The people who live at the entrance of the square are clever, so they simply started the supper business.

I bought a big bone soup base, put deep-fried tofu bought from Huimin Supermarket, kelp knots, and various meatballs and fish balls on skewers. Vegetables cost two skewers, and meat dishes cost one penny. Serve a few skewers and drink a sip of rice wine, this day is really beautiful.

If you are bold, you can also put a little chili sauce.It is said that this thing came from America, thousands of miles away from the ocean.The county magistrate got the seeds and planted them in Jiangdongmen, and then boiled them into sauce and sold them in Huimin Supermarket.

They have eaten it, and it is so spicy that people are sweating. Although they can't stand it, it can be seen that the more they eat, the more addicted they become.Moreover, eating this kind of skewers, it seems that without chili, there is no soul, and it will be more delicious only with chili.

This method of stringing together is also what they saw from Huimin Supermarket.Now that there are street lamps installed in the workshop, there are always people gathering in groups of three or four, thinking that this thing is used as a supper, the cost is small, and the food is delicious, which is very suitable for those who are new to business.

The nights in spring are still a bit cold, but these ordinary people are not afraid of the severe cold at all.They gathered under the street lamps, talking about the world, and if the father-in-law finished reading the book, and then told them about ancient times and reading newspapers, it would be even happier!

The county magistrate has been here for a year, and their lives have greatly improved, and it is nothing to spend ten yuan on some skewers.

Days seem to be different.The people in Wujin couldn't tell what they were happy about all day long. They only felt that their whole life seemed to be different after having street lights.

And the villagers who came to the city to receive the high-yield and improved seeds were also insane after seeing the street lights.

Yearning for light is human instinct.

These villagers are honest and honest, compared to those country gentry, they have a kind of blind worship for Zuo Fu.After the yamen issued a notice last year, it seemed that the sowing season was about to come, and these people also came to the door one after another to beg for grain seeds.

After looking at the street lights, these villagers discussed with their family heads one after another, asking if they could spend some money to install lights in their village.

After all, everything is inferior, but reading is high.

Rural areas are not as good as cities, and the patriarchs in many villages are poor. It is their greatest wish to cultivate a scholar for their family.

But reading is expensive.Pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and repairing books all cost money.The most troublesome thing for them is the problem of lighting at night.

Those who don't read can go to bed directly when it gets dark; but what about those who want to read?Candles are too expensive, lamp oil is not cheap, and the light is not good. After a long time, the eyes are not good.Now it seems that this street lamp does not need to consume oil or anything. Do you want to raise some money and buy one from the county magistrate?
They inquired and found out that this street lamp was made by the county grandpa and master Qing Yidao. It was specially fed with sunlight, and as long as it was fed with sunlight, it would stay on all the time.

These villagers thought about it, this magic weapon must not be cheap, but the sun doesn't cost money, if they buy one and use it for several generations, won't the cost come back?
This light is on, not only for reading, but also for working at night.The women in the village don't need to be female celebrities under the oil lamps anymore. You can do it under the street lamps and make a few more sachets, can't you also supplement your life?

A group of old abacus of the small clan clanged their plans, and after receiving the rice seeds, they put forward their own demands one after another.

After listening to these people's demands and analysis, Zuo Fu couldn't help crying and laughing.

Who said that the farmer uncle is honest?This is quite good at accounting!

But these people are much more lovely than those country gentlemen!Those squires spoke nicely, but they really wanted to do something, but there were various trade-offs.Where are they like these peasant uncles?Believe it or admit it!If I want a street lamp, I also want to spend money to buy it. It is much cuter than those country gentry!
"You don't need to pay for this street lamp."

Zuo Fu smiled and said: "This is an act of benefiting the people. Why do you need to spend money? You just need to follow my technical guidance and plant the fields well."

A group of villagers stared wide-eyed and couldn't believe their ears.

"Big, my lord..."

A villager stammered and said: "This fairy artifact doesn't need money?"

"This old man, this is not a fairy artifact, this is something we made."

Zuo Fu smiled and said: "In a few days, someone will install the street lamps for you. When you have a good life, you will send the dolls to study. This year, I will set up schools in every town and township. Teaching for free, sending your children to study is the best reward for me."

Tears welled up in the eyes of a group of villagers, "My lord is a saint! We must send the children to study!"

Zuo Fu nodded, "I came here to serve as an official under the emperor's order, just to let everyone live a good life. You have planted this high-yield rice, and you can also raise fish in the rice field at the same time. I will send someone to guide you. Fertilizers and insecticides can also be purchased at very low prices, as long as you study hard, you will soon be able to live a life full of food and clothing..."
