Chapter 200: Fire
Originally, from spring to summer, it was the rainy season, and the plants and trees would look particularly crisp and loud, and then slowly turn dark green to meet the hot summer, but since it has not rained, the temperature has increased very quickly.
Another advantage of rain is that it can lower the temperature, otherwise it only depends on a little heat dissipation at night, and the heat near Chang'an is still accumulating, increasing every day.
Walking slowly on the road in a carriage, Fan Jingjing found that the clothes of the people on both sides were gradually decreasing, there were many farmers working in the farmland, and they were too lazy to put on their clothes, at most they were too lazy to put on clothes, at most for them the sun was poisonous, they didn't have this concept at all, let the sun bask and save the cost of clothes, in fact, if it wasn't for your career, they might not be too lazy to wear clothes at all, in poorer areas, even people wore animal skin clothes, covering key parts, and they could move outside.
This is also the biggest difference between savages and ordinary people, the people of Datang at least know etiquette, righteousness and shame, and cover the place where their bodies are covered a little.
But at night, when there were no street lights, and no one could see them anyway, they went to work in the fields naked, and as for the mosquitoes that were numerous, was it a difference for them?
The natural environment of Datang is generally very good, with birds singing and flowers everywhere, and there are many natural skin grafts.
Flies, mosquitoes, ants, and all kinds of insects are active everywhere and invade your home, which is a very normal thing.
Even in the Fan family's manor, Fan Jingjing must install a screen window to be able to sleep peacefully, and even in addition to the screen window, her bed must also have a mosquito net.
In this era, there are no plastic mosquito nets, all mosquito nets must be woven with silk or other fabrics, fortunately, Fan Jingjing has begun to promote automated textiles in Fan's Manor, although it is not the most high-end textile, but through the waterwheel has been able to take the speed of manpower further.
Even so, the mosquito nets used by Fan Jingjing had to be woven for a day.
In terms of starting price, it is enough for ordinary people to eat for a year.
So it's already a part of luxury.
This time, fortunately, the royal children did not ask her for mosquito nets.
Because they themselves have a royal work, to help them produce mosquito nets, although their mosquito nets are not the same as the production methods they use, but they can use it without using the house yellow and their own operation, not to mention that they can use it without the prince and princess operating it themselves.
At present, the mosquito nets made by Fan Jingjing have not taken into account the patterns or other more advanced textile skills, speaking of which the mosquito nets made by hand are more prosperous and beautiful than Fan Jingjing's water flow looms in terms of making patterns, but the cost is naturally higher, but there are a lot of workers in the royal family who are working hard for their lives, at least Fan Jingjing guesses that there are at least 40,000 people working for the royal family, and this population is very large.
Fan Jingjing, if you think about it further, the entire imperial court is working for the royal family, although it is not their private work to take care of the whole people.
More people gather together, the cost will be higher, and the cost of living alone is also very high, if it is a small country and widows, it is actually the most suitable and efficient in the agricultural era.
However, people are always greedy and insufficient, always want to conquer other people's land, let themselves get more, and finally the Tang Dynasty has become a very large country for this era, with the management ability of this era, there is no way to rule such a large place, but because of the tax collected by such a large place, it can organize enough military strength to deal with the steppe peoples in the north, not only the Turks, but also other steppe peoples.
In fact, if you want to live in this world, it is really very hard, and often between the biggest interests and the small interests, you have to choose.
In the end, people will always leave regrets, more people want to survive but have no way to survive, not to mention that the competition for survival in the Tang Dynasty is more severe.
More people have no way to think about the problems of the group, and only when they are facing other groups will people reflect on whether there is a problem with the way they live in the group.
The Turks' harm to Fan Jingjing is actually very far away, although Fan Jingjing knows that Li Shimin once went out of the city to solve the problem of the Turks, but the Turks did not run in front of her after all, even if they had been to the battlefield, they did not come into contact with the party members.
So in her thinking, aliens are not so hateful, nor are they so terrible, after all, in the age of science and technology, most people will not go to war, and war is very far away for many people, unless they live in a war zone.
And the peace of Datang is in the minds of the Datang people, but at a moment, the risk of war will come to them at any time, after all, people in most areas will not be very far away from war.
Although the weather was very hot, the wind was very strong.
But today I suddenly thought of flying a kite when I went back, but if you want to fly a kite, you must have a light and thin, and let the wind blow can not blow the cloth or paper, if the wind leaks, the kite can not fly, at this time the ability to spin and weave is already good, the gap is also very small, should be able to support the rise of kites.
At this time, there are really very few activities in the sky, which makes Fan Jingjing start to think that if you can make a lot of toys to play in the sky, it should also be very popular, for example, the bamboo dragonfly on the top of Nobita's head should be a good thing, very suitable for a family to play, and everyone can do it.
So Fan Jingjing began to communicate with Liang Shu and a few people, he was afraid that he would remember it and forget it again, after all, it was not so convenient to send things now.
Maybe he should invent the fountain pen so that people can carry it with them and not have to start studying ink every time they go to write.
Fan Jingjing mentioned this idea to Liang Shu again.
Just along the way, Fan Jingjing looked at the scenery and watched other people's lives, that is, he put forward a lot of innovative ideas to communicate with Liang Shu, and asked Secretary Liang to come down, Liang Shu may be a Tang Dynasty, and Datang people have to rely on their brains to live a lot of times, so when they remember things, they are more agile than Fan Jingjing.
"How are you going to find the lady? What about our Fanjia Town? The more famous doctors in Chang'an are almost all the doctors stationed in the famous pharmacies, and even some of the pharmacies opened by the doctors themselves. ”
"Let's take a look at it again, don't rent the house in Chang'an in the future, otherwise there is no place to stay every time you go back to Chang'an, it's really inconvenient, I used to feel that I needed money, but now I feel that convenience is the most important, and it's not only me who needs to run Chang'an, other people in Fan's Manor also need to run Chang'an, leave that residence to Fan's Manor, and it will be better for people to stay in Chang'an."
"Otherwise, we can buy some houses in Chang'an, after all, many people in Chang'an have left Chang'an because of lack of food, some people still have houses in Chang'an, and some people can't afford two properties, and it is necessary for some people to exchange their houses for cash."
"Is there a real estate speculation group in Chang'an? And is there such a thing as a real estate tax? ”
"I will report it to Sun Erlang, and Sun Erlang will send appropriate people to study it."
"We're starting to work together now, and it looks a little bit organized."
"The Fan Family Manor is also our home, and we also hope that the Fan Family Manor can become even better."
Although Fan Jingjing is an employer, and the people below are strictly speaking, employees, but now they don't regard Fan's Manor as a company at all, but as their own home.
Even if everything in the Fan family manor is Fan Jingjing's assets, it is the house in Fanjia Town that can be sold, so Fan Jiazheng Fan Jingjing gives less energy, but the people in Fan's manor take the house in Fanjia Town for rent, and still regard the house they live in Fanjia Manor as their real home.
When they arrived outside Chang'an City and lined up to enter the city, it was already close to evening, but fortunately the city gate is not related now, they still came and went in, otherwise when the time comes, even if they have not entered the city, people will still be locked out, although there are many streets outside Chang'an City, but most people feel that it is more safe to enter the city.
Fan Jingjing had no such thoughts.
With Liang Shu guarding wherever she goes, she is very secure, but she will be in trouble if she wants to do things.
It is very troublesome for men to want to enter the palace at night, and it will also be very troublesome for women, although Fan Jingjing is pregnant now, but entering the harem is actually equivalent to sending herself to the emperor's minions, not to mention that the emperor is still a lustful man, but Fan Jingjing is a very beautiful woman.
Fan Jingjing has always thought that the emperor has not made any requirements and instructions for her relationship with Niu Shijin, and he was very happy at first, the emperor did not help the evil, but Fan Jingjing began to worry more and more later, whether it would be the emperor who took a fancy to her, which is a very dangerous thing.
Fan Jingjing's sense of being killed is quite strong, and she is also very cautious about life, for the level she just crossed, it was because she had no defense, and in this era, it seems that he has no way to claim compensation, and it is already a good thing to be able to get a little compensation.
After entering the city gate, they went to the West Market, no way, they had to find a place to live first, as for the direction to the East Market, it was closer to Pingkangfang, and the various personnel in it were also more complicated, so Fan Jingjing preferred the West Market, where commercial activities were more developed.
Living in the restaurant area of Xishi, there are naturally a lot of activities at night, but most of these activities are not suitable for women to participate, so Fan Jingjing is not ready to go out shopping after entering the restaurant, because many things to eat, drink and have fun are only operated in the morning, and the evening is basically a man's world, so Fan Jingjing is ready to stay in the restaurant.
"Anyway, I don't forbid you to go out, but if you want to go out and talk to me, I won't be ready to open the door for activities, so it will be safer."
Fan Jingjing said to Liang Shu.
"I'll tell them. I'll patrol the neighborhood and make sure it's safe to see if I can get out, and if I'm going out, I'll report to you first, and the others will let them go free! After all, they rarely have the opportunity to come to Chang'an, not to mention that the West Market itself is a very lively location. ”
"Aren't you also rarely coming to Chang'an?
There are not many things that can be played at night, don't go to gambling, don't go to erotic places, after all, there are so many good girls in Fan's Manor, if you want to find a woman, pursue one in Fan's Manor, if you want to go out to find delicious food, or go shopping, I have no objection. ”
If you want to take a bath in a restaurant is actually very troublesome, most of them can only be called to wipe the body with a basin of hot water below, and a soak in your feet is considered a bath, no wonder the bathhouse business opened by Fanjia Town will be so good, especially the bathhouse opened by girls, you can do a lot of private services for girls, and these girls' services are often suitable for the needs of girls, and they are more popular, which is not a way for ordinary men to do, who is called Fan Family Manor There are many girls, what problems girls will have, everyone can play freely, The girls in the Fan family manor are bold and independent, and they are much more open than Fan Jingjing.
The girls of the Fan family manor, even want to find a boy to match with themselves, are giving birth to their own children, providing for their own pension, and have very little idea of remarrying, and the men who bring this batch of martial arts-based men are often their targets, and they don't know how much they donated, they think that they are in good health, coupled with their smart genes, it is estimated that they can give birth to a good baby, and the eugenics that Fan Jingjing often mentions is so understood by them.
At night, when Fan Jingjing slept in a daze, she heard the sound of the door next door opening, and thought in a daze, it is estimated that these people brought by Uncle Fan went out to play again at night, and what will they go out to play at night, in fact, in addition to gambling is sex, for men's nature, Fan Jingjing is also very sighing, as long as men have money, they will want to develop in these two directions, especially when they suddenly become rich from poverty, it is more difficult to get out, unless they are tired of these two items, they will slowly return to the right path.
Then Fan Jingjing suddenly heard the sound of her door being knocked, and Liang Shu's voice also sounded: "Mrs. Fan, it's on fire." There's still a little time to get dressed and get out quickly. ”
"I'll be right out."
Fan Jingjing jumped up as soon as she heard the fire and water and fire ruthlessly, sleeping outside, Fan Jingjing has always worn formal clothes, will not take off her clothes, and will not wear light and thin clothes.
People living outside may have various situations at any time, as long as there is a situation, Fan Jingjing is sure that she can escape immediately as soon as she jumps out.
In fact, after coming to Datang, Fan Jingjing never wore pajamas again, and she wore clothes that could go out every day.
"Where's the fire?" Fan Jingjing asked Liang Shu, although she trusted the judgment of others, but she wanted to know the specific situation.
"There is no fire in our place, but the wing room on the other side is on fire, and the stairs down seem to lead to it, and smoke starts to come from the other side of the wing."
