0255 Europeans who don't bathe
After discussing the problem, Liu Pei said: "If you don't have other questions, I will give an order!" โ
These sailors have made a fortune today and are in good spirits. So they followed Jack and swore to complete the command. Jack said, "Say it, boss. Whatever it takes, your loyal Jack will get it done! โ
Liu Pei smiled maliciously: "Then, my order now is that you must wash yourselves today!" You stink! โ
Jack was shocked when he heard this, and said, "No! I will never take a bath! Blasphemy against God like that! โ
Liu Pei smiled and said, "There is no God here!" He's in Europe there! โ
Then Liu Pei shouted to the family: "Brothers, grab your instructor and give them a good bath!" โ
Jack turned around and wanted to run, but he didn't have to run a few steps before he was stopped by the housekeepers! Then he was carried up and run to the barracks by a few cheerful family members. The other sailors were also caught and carried to the barracks. No matter how much they struggled and pleaded, it was useless. These housekeepers have been trained by them for so long, and they will definitely play tricks on them when they bathe. However, Liu Pei does not plan to interfere in this point. And this is also Liu Pei's first step in transforming them.
In medieval Europe, according to the Catholic Church, the filthy body was seen as closer to God, and not bathing became a symbol of holiness! Those who have the courage not to take a bath for many years will even be canonized as saints! Just like the archway of chastity where Chinese praise widows!
So, lured by this great spiritual inspiration, many devout clergy and Christians began a painstaking practice of filth โ His Excellency St. Abraham persisted for 50 years without washing his face or feet, and finally succeeded in canonization. Monsieur Saint-Simon allowed the worm to arch over his festering wounds, and never washed it until he died.
Madame Saint Euffracia presided over a convent that taught more than 130 of the most devout nuns, strictly supervising them for the rest of their lives.
The mother of King Henry IV of France insisted on not bathing for the rest of her life and was canonized as the Holy Lady Agnรจs.
The aristocrats wiped their faces every morning with a dry white cloth for cleanliness, but never washed them with water โ quacks in Europe advised people to clean their faces and eyes only with a dry white cloth. Because washing with water is harmful to eyesight, it can cause dental problems and colds, make the face pale, and be more sensitive to the heat and cold of the weather.
Even in the 17th century, during the reign of King Louis XIV of France, the most clean French noblewoman bathed only twice a year without the advice of a doctor, and usually wiped herself with a dry towel. And King Louis XIV himself was to be careful under the guidance of a doctor
Bathing with care, bathing only once in 64 years, from 1647 to 1711 โ an astonishing record that is still preserved in the daily record book of his physical condition made by Louis XIV's imperial physician.
By the 18th century, King Louis XV of France bathed only three times in his life, one on his birthday, the second on his wedding, and three on his burial. But people stink if they don't take a bath, and Europeans don't seem to be perverted enough to make stinky beauty. In France, "the whole aristocracy, even the king's body, stenched like a beast of prey, and the queen smelled like an old goat, both in summer and in winter." โ
As a result, the French had to devote themselves to the study of perfume, which was first invented in ancient India and Persia, and in Europe, the Italians, who inherited the legacy of ancient Rome, established the first perfume production workshops.
Therefore, after the collapse of the Roman Empire, Europe has been living a life of basically no bathing and open defecation. In medieval Europe, ordinary people basically did not take a bath for life, and it was known as "Europe that did not wash for a thousand years". Only in the monastery are cold baths used for penance as punishment, and baths are used for healing.
But this habit led to epidemics of all kinds of diseases, especially the Black Death, the plague! In the face of the raging plague, doctors determined that the pressure of water, especially heat, caused the pores of the skin to open, so that the sick qi could invade the body. So every time the plague was in vogue, the doctors began to lash out: "I beg you not to go to those steam rooms and bathhouses, you will die!" โ
Until the beginning of the 19th century, bathers were considered "sick people". There was a directive in the early church: "For those who are good, especially young people, they should be largely forbidden to bathe." โ
Thus, in Europe at the end of the Middle Ages, the French, who later claimed to be the epitome of elegance, were in fact the worst hygienic in Europe. The well-mannered French gentlemen and ladies in the oil paintings are actually sloppy ghosts full of dirt and lice in their hair, all relying on perfume to solve the problem.
Watch as the weeping and begging sailors were dragged away. Wu Yizhou seemed to feel a sigh and said, "These people are really barbarians, and they don't take a bath all day long. They should be cleaned up. โ
Liu Pei said: "There is a long way to go to transform them! Take your time. โ
Wu Yizhou said: "That family master, do you really plan to find a wife for them?" I feel uncomfortable at the thought of our women marrying these barbarians. โ
Liu Pei said: "There is nothing uncomfortable. You just treat them as Mongols, they're all barbarians anyway! And when they get married and have children, after two or three generations, they won't see any difference from us. โ
Pei decided to leave this matter to Liu Jiang. He went back and wrote a letter to Liu Jiang, asking him to buy some women from the Qinglou and marry these Yiren sailors. Anyway, there are many women in the Qinglou who want to be good, so they regard it as a good deed. But before marrying them, you must give them preliminary training, and let them understand that they have the responsibility of monitoring these people. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded, and if you don't do well, you will be punished.
A few days later, Liu Pei arranged everything and returned to modern times. I haven't seen Yu Lina for a long time in a blink of an eye, and the two naturally want to make love. When the two of them finally lay on the bed and began to talk, Liu Pei took out a long list from his bag and handed it to Yu Lina, saying, "You can help me purchase these things." โ
Yu Lina took the list and looked at it and said in surprise: "What are you doing?" It's good to say that low-cost grain is good, how can there be chickens and ducks, sheep and pigs. And horses? And fruit tree saplings? Grass seeds? There are so many bits and pieces. What do you want these things for? โ
Liu Pei said lazily: "You don't care about this, it's all from friends." Anyway, you can arrange for your subordinates to purchase it. โ
Yu Lina said: "Other things are fine, but what about living things?" Maybe I'll die a lot! Besides, how do you give these things? Where to send to? โ
Liu Pei said: "Choose a good time and let them concentrate on sending all the live animals over and prepare more feed. Send them to me in that dedicated warehouse. I will arrange for someone to transfer as soon as possible. You can rest assured, the people I connected to the goods have been arranged, you just need to tell me the specific time. โ
Yu Lina said coquettishly: "Okay, sir, I understand." I'll arrange it as soon as possible. โ
Liu Pei, who had arranged the procurement, turned around the next day and ran to Professor Hou. When Professor Hou saw Liu Pei coming, he happily handed Liu Pei a USB flash drive and said, "All the designs you want are here." However, the design has just been completed, and the model has not yet had time to be made. It will take a while longer. โ
Liu Pei immediately plugged the USB flash drive into the computer and began to browse the design drawings. The ships designed by Professor Hou are still based on Western-style sail warships, and the main body is still the keel design. However, he added a watertight cabin structure to it. Due to the large number of gun emplacements and personnel required the installation of the battleship, only four watertight compartments were arranged in the structure. The embarkation and transport vessels were arranged with eight watertight compartments.
Professor Hou pointed to the drawings and introduced them to Liu Pei and said: "I have asked experts to calculate all the ships here, and the carrying capacity and structure of the ships are absolutely reasonable. These ships have been optimized quite a bit. After all, we have the blueprint of a Western-style sailing boat, plus a computer budget, so there will be absolutely no problems in use. Absolutely due to the same class of battleships of the same period. โ
