Chapter Ninety-Four: National Character
As the time came, more than 20 people died, but most of the rest were properly treated.
The fire had long since been extinguished, but the scene was still a mess.
Zhao Dezhao got into Pei Ge'an's carriage, and the four girls hurriedly took out the food box, which contained food, but it was cold.
Pei Ge'an took out the biscuits in the compartment of the carriage, which she had baked herself, handed them to Zhao Dezhao, and padded her stomach first.
Zhao Dezhao ate a few biscuits and drank a glass of water, but he felt even hungrier.
"Originally, I still wanted to wait for the personnel relationship to be straightened out and then manage the development of the factory, but today's incident also gave us a warning that safety production should not be sloppy. You go back and write a copy of the production safety regulations, put it down first, and let all the workshops follow the regulations. ”
Pei Gean nodded. "It's not just safety regulations, a lot of places need to be regulated. Like a cement factory, it's hell on earth. Fortunately, those laborers were all returned home after two months, otherwise pneumoconiosis would have killed at least tens of thousands of people. ”
Zhao Dezhao nodded, the last time he went to the glass kiln, he also saw the environment of grinding stone powder in the cement factory, it was really bad.
However, there are no conditions to improve it now, not to mention the dust collection equipment that is being requisitioned, and even the vacuum cleaner cannot be done now.
What can be improved is to use cloth and cotton to make masks, and deal with it first.
However, in the current Song Dynasty, there is not even cotton.
"Cotton, it seems that there is no good long-staple cotton ...... in the Song Dynasty now"
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, cotton was transmitted to China through private trade, but the yield was very small, and it was mostly planted in the frontier.
For example, the area around Hainan Island in this era is the main cotton producing area.
There is also cotton in the interior of China, but it is kapok.
The kapok fruit has cotton and wool fibers, but the toughness is poor, no elasticity, and it can fill quilts and pillows, but it cannot spin and weave.
In the middle of the Song Dynasty, cotton gradually spread to the interior, and at the end of the Song Dynasty, it became the main fabric of the people, gradually replacing the status of silk and satin.
Zhao Dezhao thought of the capable Lu Duoxun, pushed open the window, and Tong Liang on the wheel hurriedly asked, "What does the second brother command?" ”
"Lu Bingcao should still be in the wooden camp, you send someone to inform him, come to the house early tomorrow morning, I have something to order."
Tong Liang summoned an attendant and sent a horse to him, telling him to go to the interrogation immediately.
Zhao Dezhao closed the car window, leaned in, and groaned softly, but did not dodge, and carried Zhao Dezhao's back.
She also turned sideways again, letting Zhao Dezhao lie between her flexible chest and abdomen.
Both ladies were pregnant and could not sleep, so the four of them slept in place of the two ladies.
However, when he first arrived in Hanjing, Zhao Dezhao was busy until midnight every day, and he couldn't stop practicing internal skills every night, and it was early in the morning after practicing, and he didn't have the heart to accept them.
Lying in Shen Xing's arms, feeling her softness, and hearing her rapid breathing, Zhao Dezhao couldn't help but smile proudly.
Pei Gean rolled his eyes and said, "Are you going to put Lu Duosun in charge of cotton promotion?" Isn't he in charge of the military? ”
Zhao Dezhao nodded. "Cotton can be spun to make cotton cloth, cotton can be used to keep out the cold, and in this era, it is easier to promote it under the military scope. When it is gradually promoted, the price of cotton cloth is reduced, and the profits are large, and the people will take the initiative to plant. ”
"Yes, I seem to remember that it was once recorded that cotton cloth was more expensive than silk in the beginning of China." Pei Gean recalled: "When the West first saw silk, silk was more expensive than gold, and a piece of silk could be used as a family heirloom. ”
In fact, Europeans are the most miserable except for the suitable climate.
The dimension of Europe is similar to that of the Northeast, and Northern Europe is in the Arctic Circle.
However, due to the influence of the Mexican Current and the warm Atlantic Current, the winter in Europe is not cold, and the summer is not hot, so the civilization of this land has continued.
In Siberia, Northeast, and Canada at the same latitude, no one can survive at minus tens of degrees in winter, but in Europe it is at most minus ten degrees.
However, Europe has few minerals, and most of the land is still very poor.
In many areas, the soil is less than half a metre deep, and no food can be grown except for grass.
Because of the restrictions on food production and the spread of the virus, their population base has not been able to rise.
But growing grass can feed horses, cattle and sheep, and with a small population, they have more materials than they have.
Coupled with the repression of religion, there are many countries and weak power, which has developed their aggressive style.
After being cornered by the Ottomans, they desperately searched for a way out, and finally completed the great discovery of mankind by sea.
The development of Europe in history has its inevitability and contingency, and its fundamental reason is related to the character of the race.
They are robber characters, and Dongying is also a little like them, because of the harsh living environment, they have developed this kind of robber character.
On the contrary, the East Asian continent, which is rich in natural treasures, has always had a relatively peaceful national character because of its unique living environment.
More obvious than the East Asian continent is the Indian subcontinent, where the living environment is so good that people are like pigs.
"What are you thinking?"
Seeing Pei Ge'an roll his eyes, they couldn't help but smile, and they were even more envious of her.
They know very well that because of Sister Pei's extraordinary, she is more valued than the two ladies, but fortunately, what she wants is different from the two ladies and them.
Zhao Dezhao also laughed and withdrew his divergent thoughts. "It's all over the place to start from scratch, and you've had to work hard for the past few years."
"It's not hard, I just like it. What I'm doing now is not much different from what I'm doing in South America. She pouted and said, "Even now the shipbuilding industry is too bad, and I suspect that I will not go to sea one day." ”
Zhao Dezhao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Don't worry, in less than ten years, I will build you a sea ship of more than 3,000 tons." ”
She flew over, smashed her body on Zhao Dezhao's stomach, and then pinched Zhao Dezhao with her hand. "I knew that you bastard had something to hide from me, and you didn't confess? Confess quickly. ”
Whether it is "Immortal Qi Cultivation Technique", or various half-ancient political systems, as well as the various technical solutions that Zhao Dezhao came up with, it is not something that modern Zhao Dezhao can know.
Even she didn't know the linkage device of those waterwheels, but Zhao Dezhao drew detailed drawings, and it was still the most optimized plan.
Pei Ge'an is not only not stupid, but also very smart, so he naturally knows that it is wrong.
However, he didn't seize the opportunity before, and now there are six people in this carriage, Zhao Dezhao has no way to hide, so he can only be pinched by her.
When the four daughters saw this scene, they were all sincerely envious, and they thought that they met the fairy fate with the prince!
Only Shen Xing was pressed under Zhao Dezhao, and the sensitive area was pressed back and forth by Zhao Dezhao's head, and he couldn't help but blush.
"Alright, alright, let's go back and talk about ......"
"You sleep with me tonight and give me an honest confession. Otherwise, I will build a small temple tomorrow and be a Taoist aunt, don't think I will work for you. ”
The four girls stopped smiling, with curiosity on their faces.
They helped copy the information and knew something, but they didn't know everything.
Like a blind man touching an elephant, the information he knows is fragmented.
If you can know more, in the future, like Sister Pei, you can help the officials and become the person that the officials value the most, which is also very good.
However, the carriage thumped heavily, and overheard the conversation of the guards, and they knew that they had arrived home.
Zhao Dezhao straightened up, turned around and pinched Shen Xing's little face, and said with a smile: "You are not suitable to know too much, sometimes, ignorance is happier." ”
Pei Ge'an looked at Zhao Dezhao teasing the maid with a smile on his face. The four of them all have long flowers and moon appearances, and her favorite is the small and delicate Linlang.
However, she is still too young and likes to be the attacker, and now no matter who she is, she is much older than her, and she can only endure it.
Wait, when you are fifteen or sixteen years old, you don't have what kind of woman you want.
Zhao Dezhao went out without bothering to eat, and after returning home, the attendants immediately served a hot meal.
was eating, and Chen Luan, who had not yet slept, was brought in. He also learned about the explosion at the woodsmith's side, inquired about the casualties, and took the initiative to stir up the topic.
"Prince, the old Taoist has thought about idealism and materialism for a long time, and he has some shallow ......."
Zhao Dezhao interrupted him and said, "Don't talk about it yet, let's look around with Sister Pei tomorrow, talk to her more, and we'll talk about it again." ”
He nodded and asked, "The prince asked Lao Dao to come to Xiangyang, do you want Lao Dao to help the prince restrain Taoism?" ”
Zhao Dezhao finished eating the dishes in the bowl, and drank half a bowl of soup before saying: "I am in favor of banning the Buddha, but it does not mean that the Tao should also be banned." Buddhism was introduced to China and began to exist as a branch of Taoism, but after the Wuhu Rebellion, with the help of foreign invasions, it began to develop.
In other words, Buddhism has no foundation, and its foundation is not stable today. Although doctrinally speaking, the Buddhist scriptures also have some merits, but more often than not, they are dissipating people's self-motivation.
The cycle of cause and effect, seeking the next life rather than the present life, is not much different from the Confucian policy of fooling the people. The establishment of temples by Buddhism and the lack of production by monks are a huge waste of social resources.
So Buddhism must be banned!
But Taoism is different, Taoism, like Confucianism, is our native sect, and the advantages of preserving it outweigh the disadvantages.
However, if you want to exist, you have to change, and that's what I asked you to come for. ”
"How?"
"When I have dealt with mundane affairs, we will talk about this issue again, it will definitely be beneficial to Taoism."
Chen Tuan was completely relieved and nodded. "In that case, Lao Dao won't disturb the prince's rest, and we'll talk about it in a few days."
After eating and drinking, Zhao Dezhao went to the backyard and went to the Wang and Chen houses to take a look, they were already asleep.
In Pei Ge'an's room, the lights were still on, and Zhao Dezhao sighed and walked to her bedroom.
This woman is very shrewd, how can she explain to her that she knows more than she knows in modern times?
