It's a little late, I'm really embarrassed.

Early in the morning, Wang Bin got up early, after all, he was still busy recruiting troops in the past few days.

Wang Bin, who took out the toothpaste, was embarrassed to take out the toothbrush of this era and began to brush his teeth.

When it comes to toothpaste and toothbrushes, it has to be said that in the early days of the ancients, tooth powder was used to clean the mouth.

The toothpaste is formed on the basis of the improvement of tooth powder, and the early tooth powder mainly uses calcium carbonate as a friction agent and soap as a surfactant.

Later, in 1840, the French invented the metal hose to provide suitable packaging for some everyday items, which led to some reforms in the form of goods.

In 1893, the Viennese Seger invented toothpaste and put it into a hose, and since then toothpaste has developed massively and gradually replaced tooth powder.

In China, we began to produce tooth powder at the end of the 19th century, and it was not until 1926 that our country's first toothpaste (Samsung brand) was produced in Shanghai.

As for the toothbrush, it has appeared in ancient China, as early as the Southern Song Dynasty, there have been toothbrushes in the market.

At that time, though, toothbrushes were called "toothbrushers".

Judging from the records of ancient books, in the Southern Song Dynasty in China, there were already shops specializing in making and selling toothbrushes in the city.

At that time, toothbrushes were made of bone, horn, bamboo, wood and other materials, drilling several rows of pores on the head and planting horsetails. It's very close to a modern toothbrush.

The thirteenth volume of Wu Zimu's notebook monograph "Menglianglu" describing life in Hangzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty wrote: "Among the miscellaneous goods of all colors is brushing teeth. ”

Zhou Shouzhong, a native of the Southern Song Dynasty, wrote the health book "Compilation of the Treasures of Household Health", and even discussed whether the time to brush teeth with a toothbrush should be arranged in the morning: "You can't brush your teeth in the morning, because you are afraid that the roots will float and the teeth will be sparse and easy to shake, and you will suffer from toothache for a long time. ”

Because in the morning the roots of the teeth are looser, and the cauda equina is harder.

According to American records, in 1498, when a new century was about to appear on the horizon of mankind, the emperor of China invented the toothbrush.

A check of the era table, 1498 is under the rule of Ming Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty.

That is, it was Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty who invented the toothbrush.

There was a contradiction with the toothbrush that appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty before.

Once the toothbrush was introduced, it spread to Europe over a long period of time, where it became very popular.

Later, it was not until the 30s of the 19th century that DuPont began to manufacture synthetic fibers (nylon), and a new generation of toothbrushes made of nylon bristles began to be born.

It can be seen that China has a toothbrush similar to modern times more than 600 years earlier than Europe.

However, all this is wrong, and the earliest toothbrush unearthed in China today is a bronze toothbrush of the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, this is enough to prove that the Chinese civilization was in a leading position in the world in ancient times.

Wang Bin, who is brushing his teeth at the moment, seems to have unlimited business opportunities for this toothpaste and toothbrush, but this business opportunity is only afraid that it will be delayed later, after all, his subordinates do not have talents who understand this aspect.

After brushing his teeth, Wang Bin remembered that he still had something to do, so he hurriedly ran to the old man's study, wanting to ask the old man what he thought of his promotion.

But after entering the study, he found that the old man was not in the study, which made Wang Bin feel that something was wrong.

Wang Bin, who exited the study, looked depressed, and didn't know until he saw Fu Bo, who was busy in the living room, that after he left Jinzhou for Xinmin, the old man returned to Shandong Mansion.

After all, the old man has been in Jinzhou for a while, and he can't always stay here, and some things in the clan still have to be resolved.

After Wang Bin learned this, he didn't say anything and just started his daily official business.

First of all, I found someone to tell me to go first, and posted a recruitment notice in the city and nearby villages, and then I would make up for the soldiers first.

As a result, notices were posted in various villages.

In the notice, Wang Bin stipulated that the target of conscription must be at least 20~25 years old, and must be "physically strong and have no hidden diseases", and the length should be "more than 4 feet 8 inches" (about 1.6 meters tall).

"I must be innocent, must have a normal way of making a living", have not had bad behavior, or have committed crimes, smoked a lot, and in order to ensure the quality of the soldiers, and among those who are interested in becoming soldiers, if someone knows the culture, they can be given priority.

At the head of Lijia Village in Songshan Fort, a group of juniors were very curious when they saw that some soldiers had posted something at the head of the village, so they all gathered in front of the announcement after the soldiers left.

Before the notice, after a group of descendants get together, you guess what is written on the notice.

This is something that suddenly came out of the crowd of descendants

"Second Uncle Li at the end of the village, don't you know a lot of words, just look for Second Uncle Li."

After a group of juniors heard it, they immediately felt that it made sense, so they tore off the notice and took it to Uncle Li's home.

At this time, Second Uncle Li was basking in the sun at the door of his house, and suddenly felt that he couldn't get the sun, and when he opened his eyes, he didn't know what was going on in front of him, and there was a group of descendants from the village standing in front of him.

In the case of this group of descendants, Second Uncle Li finally knew what was going on.

So he took the notice handed over by the posterity, and said after reading it for a while

"Housheng, this is recruiting troops again, as mentioned above, Lord Wang of Jinzhou was ordered by the imperial court to form the fifth town of the Beiyang Standing Army, and he wanted to recruit the children of the good family from nearby places."

"Recruitment?"

After listening to Second Uncle Li's words, a group of descendants said.

"Yes, according to the old man, this is a soldier, you juniors should pay attention, what if you accidentally lose your life?"

This group of descendants is born with an open-minded, bold, resolute, and brave feeling, even if it is life and death.

Just a strong inquiry, what is the treatment of this Fifth Town.

Second Uncle Li had no choice but to tell this group of postgraduates that after meeting the recruitment requirements of the fifth town, he could go to Jinzhou to sign up, and once he passed the assessment, he could become a member of the fifth town.

As for the treatment, there is one tael of silver every month for three meals a day.

After listening to the words of Second Uncle Li, this group of juniors became excited one by one, this provides three meals a day in the barracks, so one or two taels of silver per month can be sent home, what are you not doing with such a good treatment? More than making money at home.

So after bidding farewell to Second Uncle Li, this group of juniors discussed going to participate in the conscription together tomorrow.

All of a sudden, the conscription work around Jinzhou was very hot, and there was an endless stream of children from good families who came to apply every day.

At this moment, Wang Bin, who was in Jinzhou, also got the list of officers sent by Yuan Shikai.
