Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 271

The reception banquet went smoothly, and the estrangement between the two parties has been eliminated a lot after such contact.Especially when they heard that Zuo Fu had built a new house for them and they could move in after a few days, the resistance in their hearts became even less.

As for those down-and-out scholars, the old students have no opinion at all!The treatment is so good, not to mention the housing, even if you don’t, you have to stay even for the monthly salary!

After three days, Ren Ning and others moved into the newly arranged house.

Those with official status like them will be allocated a larger house, after all, there are servants to follow.

The new houses are all three floors. Officials like Ren Ning can be allocated one living room, one study and four bedrooms, while other children only have one living room, one study and one bedroom.

The house is not as big as our home, but the advantage is that the houses are all newly built, and all of them use glass and solar lamps.This kind of living conditions is much better than before.

Ren Ning, who was lying on the bed at night, thought about what he had seen and heard in the past few days, and felt like he was dreaming.

What he saw and heard in Wujin County was beyond his knowledge.

There are so many outlandish things here.The hotel and the place where he lives now are all connected to tap water. He asked Zuo Fu and found that the mystery is not difficult to understand. He just connected the water pipes to each household, and then raised the water to the level prepared in advance through the water truck. In the high water tank, the water is adjusted by the valve, and then the water is delivered to each household.

Very simple matter.But the problem that Zuo Fu encountered now was that he could not raise the water to a very high position, so the water pressure was not enough, and the transportation of tap water was not enough.

This also explains why all the VIP rooms in Changzhou Hotel are on the first floor, while the second and third floors are mainly standard rooms, triple rooms, and quadruple rooms.

What exactly is the water pressure? After listening to her explanation, I have a general idea.If you want tap water to be transported on tall buildings, you must lift the water to a higher position and increase the water pressure.

How much the water pressure should be increased, Zuo Fu's teacher seems to have researched the law.Otherwise, how did she know that every three feet of height needed to increase the water pressure by more than two catties?
Many concepts are still very vague, and he can only listen to a vague concept only after listening to Zuo Fu.But he felt that Zuofer's subject was not easy.

It is not something that one or two generations can do to improve Gewuge to this level.This kind of accumulation, even organized and planned into disciplines, must consume countless generations of painstaking efforts.

It can't be a descendant of the Mohist family, right?
Thinking about it this way, I feel a little horrified.

He sat up involuntarily, only feeling a little sweat profusely behind his back.

"Rectify the name with the real name", isn't this exactly Zuofu's style?

Although most of the Mohist theories have died out, some things are still handed down.Look at the way Zover acts, says and thinks...

Isn't this all Mohism?
What science? !

This is clearly the Mo family!

He broke out in a cold sweat, but soon, he became calm again.

Almost 300 years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they pushed the theory of saints to the extreme, and from the beginning they followed the path of preserving the principles of nature and eliminating human desires.

But now?

Almost wiped out by another race!

Is it because human desires are not enough, or is there a problem with the doctrine of saints?

The capital city of the Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin Dynasty and moved to Hangzhou, and Neo Confucianism flourished from that time.The predecessors at that time felt that they were too addicted to pleasure, so they fell to this point.

But Daming has been following this path from the very beginning!How did it get down to this point?Is there really a problem with governing the country with the sage's learning?The Mohist theory back then was the same as the sage's study, and it was called the two great schools of the world!

Or...

Is it not enough to rely solely on the knowledge of sages?Mohism and Confucianism are the best?

As an official who was born in the imperial examination, Ren Ning was a little afraid to think about this question.But he couldn't think about it, because he found that this question was very tempting, especially after seeing Zuo Fu's various strange methods.

He was very curious, what would the world be like if all things in the world were done according to the degree of gewu, and Confucianism was the standard for governing the country and the people?

After thinking about it for a long time, I don't know where my thoughts went, and when I woke up in a daze, it was already bright outside.

When I got up, I wanted to call the servants to serve me.But when he thought about the magic weapon of running water, he got up by himself, refused to be served by the servants, went to the bathroom by himself, took toothpaste and squeezed it on the toothbrush, then turned on the tap and started brushing his teeth.

The movement is already very proficient. During the past few days in Changzhou Hotel, he has fully experienced the beauty of toothpaste and this toothbrush.

In fact, toothpaste and toothbrush are not new among the rich and noble families. As early as the Song Dynasty, the upper class had used them.Su Dongpo even made a paste for brushing teeth for this purpose. This prescription has been handed down to this day, and he also has it in his family.

It's just that after using the toothbrush and toothpaste given by Zuo Fu, he felt that the set at home could be thrown away.

I don't know what the bristles of this toothbrush are made of, but it's very comfortable to brush.The toothpaste is also pleasing to the eye, it feels cool when brushed in the mouth, not to mention how comfortable it is after brushing.

After moving to this new home, all the daily necessities are brought by Zuo Fu.Toothpaste, toothbrush, toothbrush cup, non-gold and non-jade washbasin, bath tub, towel, etc...

In short, you don't need to prepare anything by yourself, just come in with a bag on your back, and you can live directly.There are still many empty houses like this in their area. According to Zuo Fu, this area is specially prepared for scholars who come to work in Changzhou.

People who leave their homes and come to this foreign country can't even have a place to stay.You have to solve everyone's worries before you can work with peace of mind, right?
Zuo Fu's actions left a deep impression on Ren Ning.

This person is not only good at doing things, but also good at being a person.

After rinsing his mouth, he twisted the towel to wash his face, and then walked into the outer living room.

There were three servants who followed him.One is the little book boy who grew up with him, the other is the old steward who can read and write, and the other is the servant in charge of the chores.

At this moment, the servant just came in with a food box in his hand. After seeing him and saluting, he said, "Master, I just went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, but I was really scared."

"how?"

"Hey, there are so many people, it scares me to death."

"How many times have I told you? You must speak the official language here, not the language of your hometown."

"Yes, yes, master. The cafeteria is so big! Many nobles and lords went directly to the cafeteria to eat! There are also many kinds of snacks and noodle cakes. There are also red soup drops, green onion and white soup for soup cakes. Drops, and toppings, there are so many kinds! I heard that the cafeteria is not only for us, but ordinary people can come to buy it, and it is very famous here in Wujin!"

The servant said as he opened the food box, "I got you chicken, vegetables and meat buns, red soup noodles, master, these soup cakes are really neat! They are all the same thickness! I also got you some toppings and side dishes yesterday. Chun Ya, who is next to Mr. Zuo, gave me a kind of ticket, she said it was a meal ticket, our family has five taels of meal tickets and food tickets every month, if you want more, you have to pay for it yourself..."
