I saw the inquiring eyes of the crowd.

Zhao Di pointed to the instrument composed of several huge iron rods and inserted deep into the ground and said, "This is a special lever for moving goods at the dock. It is used to transport heavy objects such as charcoal from the ship to the dock. Because these things are very heavy, it is easy to capsize and cause accidents when boarding the ship, and some people even fall into the water because of this. If the goods are made smaller and then carried by people, it will take half a day to carry them on the ship, so that other ships that carry goods have great opinions. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Di couldn't help but admire and said: "Since the accident, in order to increase insurance and improve efficiency, Xiao Langjun invented this lever. It can easily carry thousands of pounds of things onto the ship, and it can also easily carry heavy things on the ship ashore. ”

Seeing this, Xixing felt empty in his heart, and felt that what he had learned seemed to be more than useful in the dock faction.

He couldn't help but turn to Zhao Di and asked, "This shouldn't be a Qiyin technique." I guess it's a kakumono. ”

Zhao nodded, continued to look at the lever and said, "Of course, it's caused by Gewu." Xiao Langjun admires Su Xiang, Master Bi, and Shen Mengxi very much. ”

He admired Bi Sheng because Master Bi invented movable type printing, which made printing a leap forward; He admired Shen Mengxi, because he was erudite and good at writing, and he was knowledgeable in astronomy, square chronicles, legal calendars, music, medicine, and divination, and he made great contributions to agriculture, water conservancy, military, music, medicine, and economy. ”

"But he admired Su Xiang, especially the armillary sphere elephant (water transport instrument elephant platform) and false celestial sphere invented by Su Xiang, which can be said to be a collection of the essence of the world's grid and a hydraulic automatic instrument that integrates astronomical observation, astronomical demonstration, drumming, rattle, and time signal, but unfortunately it was destroyed in the hands of the Hu people."

Zhao Di also talked about Xiao Langjun's hatred for the Hu people.

"Xiao Langjun hates the Hu people the most, saying that the Hu people can't do anything but destroy and kill."

Speaking of this, Zhao Di paused in his tone, then looked at the north and west, and said in a solemn tone: "In the Zhaojiazhuang Academy, there are a few evocative sentences. First, expel Hu Lu and return China. Second, read for the rise of the Great Song Dynasty. Third, the sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear; Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned. ”

Xixing couldn't help but be stunned at this time.

I underestimated this junior brother too much.

Every time Zhao Di said a word, Xixing couldn't help but give up his hand once, this little junior brother who had not yet met had such ambitions.

Xixing arched his hand, and at the same time, he thought that this junior brother of his own school in the county school is said to be endowed with three unique poems, and the poem about the drunken spring breeze does have a taste.

In front of him, he may be more powerful than him, and he has passed the fame of the Liberation Test, and there is nothing else to be proud of.

Thinking of this, Xixing's original literati pride couldn't help but disappear without a trace, and then looked at his younger brother, who seemed to be the same year as Zhao Ping, probably knew that playing with mud was very powerful, and a wry smile suddenly appeared on his face.

After the Xixing family stepped off the boat, they went up the eighteen steps, and when they saw the situation in front of them, if they were stunned just now, then now it is completely incomprehensible, why is the avenue here divided into two parts?

Why do pedestrians also walk on two sides?

Why is there a willow tree in the middle of the avenue?

The ground avenue is smooth and smooth, why not slate what material?

Why is the floor clean and hygienic, and there is no dirt such as cow dung and horse manure?

Why is it that on both sides of the avenue are small buildings on the first floor and one bottom, and the small buildings have yellow cypress trees, yellow cypress orchid trees, gardenias and green bamboos, which look neat and beautiful, the birds are singing and fragrant, and the swallows and other birds in the sky keep flying by, which is full of poetry and picturesqueness in the coordination?

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Zhao Di thought for a while and said: "This avenue should be the immortal condensation soil that has just come out, it is made of immortal cement mixed with water and river sand, and it can be turned into a spacious avenue in a few days, and it is smooth and easy to clean." ”

Speaking of this, Xixing paused, pointed to the avenue and said: "The reason why the avenue is divided into two sides is to facilitate passers-by and vehicles and avoid pedestrian-vehicle collisions. And the willow tree in the middle is both beautiful and insulating. Horse manure and cow manure are cleaned up, don't you see garbage cans with lids on both sides of the road? Those garbage cans were brought in at night and used for farm manure. As for the same ground floor and bottom on both sides, as well as yellow cypress trees, yellow cypress orchid trees, gardenias and green bamboo, of course, this is a mandatory regulation of Zhaojiazhuang, otherwise you will not be allowed to build a house here. ”

Xixing's family widened their eyes, nodding while constantly observing this street that is different from the county seat, there is little difference between eating, dressing and entertainment and the county seat, and the obvious difference is that there are very few teahouses here, the ground is very clean and tidy, there is no smell of cow, sheep and horse dung, it seems that there is no brothel in Qinglou, pedestrians come and go in a hurry, not as leisurely as people in the county. But no matter how busy the passers-by were, they had to stop and salute when they saw Zhao Di, and Zhao Di hurriedly returned the salute.

Suddenly, the lady of the washing family pointed to a woman wearing a red armband and said, "What is he doing?" ”

The wash family also looked at the man with the red armband.

I saw that the man wearing the red armband kept blowing the "whining" sound, and at the same time asked the owner of the ox to stop the car, and at the same time kept saying to the person who drove the car: "Fine, fine." ”

In the astonishment of the washing family, the chariot finally stopped the ox cart after hard work, and obediently took out ten cents from his sleeve.

In the end, he was still angry and twitched twice on the cow, and the old cow was wronged, unwilling to raise his head, and made two "moo" sounds in protest.

The Xixing family can't help but feel funny!

Zhao Di also smiled lightly, and then pointed to the owner of the ox cart and explained: "The owner of the ox cart did not control the car well, let the ox cart cross the boundary line in the middle of the avenue, and was caught and fined by the chengguan. Zhaojiazhuang is so clean and tidy, it is inseparable from the credit of the city management. ”

The lady of the washing family couldn't help but laugh, and then pointed to the owner of the car and said: "This car owner is not good at driving, and after being fined, he still looks for a cow to be angry, and he deserves it." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, but Xixing's two younger brothers didn't seem to see this, and they couldn't take their eyes off the thing that was blowing "woo" in the city management.

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Zhao Di explained: "This is called a whistle, put it in your mouth, and you can blow it hard. At present, the production is small, mainly sold in Zhaojiazhuang. ”

After about a mile of washing, I came to a shop with a few words "Zhaojiazhuang Supermarket" on it.

The Xixing family was stunned, they had never heard of this name, and they didn't know what this store called "supermarket" did.

But I saw a lot of people coming in and out, and the basket in their hands contained rice, wheat flour, fairy soap, drunken spring breeze tea, cloth, fairy charcoal, sugar gourd, and other kinds of food and clothing.

The women, mainly women, came out with baskets while talking happily.

When they saw Zhao Di, they stopped and saluted.

In the midst of Zhao Di's return of the salute, a laughing voice suddenly came: "I said why the magpie is chirping today, it turns out that the virtuous son-in-law is back." When the virtuous son-in-law came back this time, must he have invited the nobleman back? The virtuous son-in-law is really powerful, haha~".

With the sound of laughter, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed as an outsider, came out, glanced at everyone in the house, and nodded to everyone.

Zhao Di hurriedly stepped forward to salute Wang Wengui, and then introduced each other to the Xixing family and Wang Wengui.

Only then did the family know that this man was the shopkeeper of this supermarket, and he was also Zhao Di's father-in-law, Taishan Wang Xiugui.

Xixing's younger sister, the eldest lady of the Xijia family, heard that this person was Zhao Di's father-in-law, so wouldn't he be married, and he couldn't help but turn pale and his body was shaking.

The second lady of the washing family hurriedly stepped forward to hold her sister, and then glared at Zhao Di a few times with hatred.

Xixing looked at his sister and Zhao Di a few times, and felt that Zhao Di and himself could be discussed, and the talent was not bad, and he was still the shopkeeper of Zhaojiazhuang in the county seat.

originally thought that it was not bad to be his brother-in-law, but now it seems that he is obviously married, and he can't help but sigh a long way, and his parents, Weng Weng's mother-in-law, shook her head.

Xixing's two younger brothers were very happy, because Zhao Di gave each of them a whistle.

Let the two of them keep taking it out of his arms, wanting to play but not daring.

Zhao Di smiled and said: "Blowing here has to affect others, and it can be blown in places where there are no people or few people." ”

Washing the stars and beating the spirit, I saw that the avenue was almost over here.

There is a circular platform with a red armband commanding the city guards, and the pedestrians are in good order under his command.

Although the cattle and horses kept roaring, people were still able to turn around here relatively smoothly.

In front of it is a building that is somewhat similar to the yamen, this building looks very thick and rough at first glance, the walls have neither wooden blocks nor exposed green bricks, and the exterior is freshly painted lime, which does not have the feeling of traditional architecture at all.

Xixing thought about it for a while, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Ren, could it be that this is made of immortal cement." ”

Zhao nodded and said: "This is the first batch of houses built with immortal cement in Zhaojiazhuang, it is at least three times faster than the previous houses, with an office center, and it took less than a month to build." ”

The whole family couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they heard this, and it was difficult to complete the same building in the county without half a year.

Outside the gate is an archway, and a line of big characters is written on the archway: "Zhaojiazhuang Convenience Service Center".

There are also public notice pavilions, parking places, rest places, and there is a large open space in the middle of the compound, as well as yellow cypress orchid trees, green bamboos, willow trees, and osmanthus trees, these tamarins are either small in their teeth, or have just been cut over, and they are not so lush.

Unlike the yamen, there is also an office compound, and there are many rooms in the compound that have only been painted with lime.

Some of these rooms have land on them, some say real estate, some say school, some say chengguan, some say security guards, industry and commerce, money, things, civil, health and hygiene, some say arbitration, some say so-and-so workshop, and so on.

Zhao Di explained to the Xi family that this is to facilitate the residents and businesses of Zhaojiazhuang to come here to do things, and the civil mediation office with arbitration is written to mediate the trivial matters of the people.

Passing through the office compound, I saw that there was a gate in the middle, and there were two guards on both sides of the gate. ”

What, you still need documents to get in?
