Chapter 40: Life I

But then again, what was the Earth world like around the 9th and 10th centuries A.D.? In the whole of East Asia, only China can be called a civilized world, and the name of the Celestial Empire is not called casually. Compared with China, which has a brilliant civilization and abundant products and a dense population, what is Dongying at this time? The land is narrow and the country is poor, and only a few cities are considered to have a civilized atmosphere, which is only a scale of less than 50,000 people (there is no sincerity that can reach 100,000), that is, the population of any medium-sized county in the Central Plains.

Even if Kaguya, who is a celestial, has nothing to do, and is extremely bored, he wants to try the fireworks in the world and enjoy the exotic customs. You should also go straight to the Chinese Celestial Empire, and go to Chang'an, the capital of tens of millions of people that is unique in the world, or Luoyang, the center of the world of 800 miles of Luochuan. How can you look at the neon like a turtle?

The good guy is also a princess on the moon, living a luxurious life of brocade clothes and jade food, clothes to reach out for food to open her mouth, and never get tired of eating. Not to mention the fact that it still falls into the neon poor mountain backwoods, a small village in a ravine with few iron tools. Even if you can't eat bran vegetables, this gap seems to be a bit too big?! No one can stand it......

As the saying goes, once the sea was difficult to water, but Wushan is not a cloud; The return of the five mountains does not look at the mountain, and the return of the Yellow Mountain does not look at the mountain. After enjoying the Manchu and Han banquets, will you still add steamed buns to meat and donkey meat to burn blue eyes? Not to mention that for more than 100 years, it is known as the pinnacle of human civilization in the ancient history of the world - the Two Song Dynasty!

At that time, the European princes and nobles could not compare to the soldiers guarding the city gate in Bianliang, Tokyo, in terms of food and clothing. Well, when the glory of Greece and Rome has been reduced to ashes for hundreds of years, the barbarians who bathed at most three times from birth to death, ate peacocks, feasted on dung pits, and defecated in palaces, castles, and even living bedrooms knew how to live a fart of life......

If you were a celestial, would you go to that group of barbarian nests that smell like pigs to experience a different life? You don't even want to go to that place, do youkai? Perhaps only unclean femininities like ghosts and ghosts would like it.

Well, it seems really hard to think that the vampires living in Europe have come through for so many years? If you're hungry, catch a living person casually, and bite it down, (*@ο@*) Wow~ Damn, is there a half-mouthful of dirt? There are not too many lice, fleas, parasites, etc.? It's no wonder that the taste of blood can be so good! Therefore, only those who have taste are not virgins, and they have to be young virgins to sprinkle their blood in their mouths, otherwise if they change to a barbarian, they will have to vomit on the spot? It seems that werewolves are not taboo......

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.

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." In the fourth century, a Christian woman on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem boasted that she had not washed her face for 18 years and therefore felt that she was the most "pure."

Louis XIV, who was revered as the Sun King in French history, bathed only three times in his life, was baptized once at birth, once when he was crowned king and once when he was on his deathbed, and was gone......

When the Italian envoy went to Paris, France to meet the Sun King (Italy, as the core area of the Roman Empire, still retains at least a lot of the public baths and part of the cultural heritage of the empire, which is why Italy is famous as the most famous pleasure and food country in Europe, and the others are barbarians, and across the English Channel, the food is rumored to be dark cuisine, what else can you expect?) )。

The Italian envoy was almost smoky by the strong and foul smell of the Sun King three meters away. As the queen of the Sun King, her body odor is like that of a dying black-haired old goat. In addition, the entire palace was littered with feces and feces, corridors, halls, and even the king's living room......

The author of the text finally wrote in an almost desperate tone, where is this palace, this is simply a huge latrine! And the French king's response to this was to change the palace every three months, and at the same time let the servants clean up the palace that had just been destroyed, and wait for the next time, so there are so many palaces in France.

Europeans, especially aristocratic ladies, pursued spices and perfumes in a frenzied manner, largely because of masking their body odors; As for the curing of meat with spices, that was the concern of the merchants, the stewards, and the retainers. If you're interested in learning more, we recommend watching Perfume: A Murderer's Tale is a crime fantasy film produced by DreamWorks and EMI.

The King of France had decreed that the citizens of Paris were forbidden to splash dirty water on the streets during the day, because a papal emissary had been doused with a mixture of feces and sewage during a visit to Paris......

Europeans have not had the word manure since ancient times, and they do not use manure as fertilizer. Paris, the French capital, did not have sewers before the Revolution, and the excrement of the city's inhabitants was dumped and piled up outside the city. After hundreds of years of accumulation, the excrement piled up outside the city was like a mountain around the city.

Woo wow~ haha, during the Northern Song Dynasty of the Chinese Celestial Dynasty, the Yellow River embankment located in the Central Plains was higher than Bianliang City in Tokyo, and the French capital Paris was a dung heap higher than the city wall! The French responded by raising the walls of Paris a little higher! When Franklin, the founding father of the United States, went to Paris, France, to beg King Louis XVI for military aid against the British, Franklin was fainted by the disgusting smell wafting from the wind before he could enter the gates of Paris.

Hehe, do you know the great uprising of the Paris Commune in the Franco-Prussian War in French history? History books say that the Prussian army besieged Paris, released and armed 100,000 French prisoners of war during the Franco-Prussian War, and then conquered Paris in one fell swoop and extinguished the Paris Commune.

Do you know, then, how the army of the Kingdom of Prussia crossed the walls of Paris? That's right, it is to rush up the dung heap hill that surrounds the entire city wall of Paris, and then swoop all the way into Paris with a commanding height......
