The Minamida family of the Japanese Empire had an indescribable feeling towards Chang 'an of the Tang dynasty, not because of its majesty or prosperity.
"Kazuko, I don't know what to say about what I've seen and heard in Chang 'an."
The person who asked Lan Bao walked a few steps and suddenly stopped in front of Minamida Kazuko. He turned around and spoke.
Minamida Kazuko smiled faintly. "This is called humanities. Li Dongzhu said that a society without humanities is not a civilization."
"Humanities?" Everyone was confused. This was a new term.
Minamida Kazuko pursed her lips. "It should be human language …"
"Human culture embodies things such as love, respect, understanding, sacrifice, dedication, law, and so on."
Meng Haoran explained from not far away. He liked nature, landscape, and idyllic poetry.
When he wrote poems, he tried his best to focus on the scenery. Even if he wanted to offer something, he had to write about the scenery before expressing his thoughts.
Sitting and watching the fisherman envious of the fish. What he wrote in history was the same as what Zhang Shuo wrote. He wanted to be the fish and be fished.
Now, he didn't write. Zhang Shuo stayed in Luoyang while he ran to Chang 'an and chased after Li Yi.
He and Wang Wei were officials in Lantian County. When they had nothing to do, they had to write letters to Li Yi.
Wang Wei was like him. He wrote poems and occasionally painted. He also had philosophical thoughts about religion.
Li Yi replied to them when he had time. No matter how they communicated, Li Yi understood.
Wang Wei tried his best to translate a passage of scripture. Li Yi guaranteed that he would give the correct answer. Li Yi cheated.
Meng Haoran understood the thoughts of the Japanese Empire. He was shocked by the humanities.
Not to mention the people of the Japanese Empire, he was also shocked when he first arrived in Chang 'an.
The people of Chang 'an had a special temperament. Even ordinary people would treat him with respect and care when he asked for directions.
They were ashamed because they didn't know how to behave. They were ashamed because they had evil intentions.
The Minamida family of the Japanese Empire obviously felt different because they couldn't do it.
"Yes, yes. Hmm! "The person who asked the question quickly looked at Meng Haoran. That's right, that's exactly the case. You know better.
The other people from the Japanese Empire looked excited. They could learn a lot by coming to the Tang dynasty.
Sure enough, the Tang dynasty was not to be trifled with. Japan was too far behind.
As they continued to head south, the number of people gradually decreased. The number of people pushing carts increased, and there were even people carrying poles.
Generally speaking, the ones moving forward were empty poles and carts, while the ones coming back from the front were loaded with things.
After a few hundred steps, the house in front of them turned into an area with three artificial canals side by side.
The wide bridge spanned over the man-made canal, and there were people guarding the bridgehead.
The people who went in crossed the bridge and stood there for a while waiting for someone to do something to them.
They took out a piece of cloth of their own and put it beside them, and the man on the bridge gave them a piece of cloth to put over their ears.
The people of the Nantian family were at a loss again. They felt like fools after coming to the Tang dynasty.
Tengyuan Ma Yang couldn't stand it anymore and introduced, "That's called a mask, a slightly wet mask. The people who go in stand there without moving, and the man on the bridge will use a metal rod to dispel the static.
Look carefully on their bodies. Don't they all have a small piece made of bamboo on their chest? Behind the small piece is a copper pin.
They use the copper pin to continuously release static. If they wear fur clothes, they are not allowed to enter.
People with long hair have to tie it up and use a copper or silver hairpin to insert it.
They say that the conductivity is small, which means that the resistivity is small. That's about it. "
After saying that, he breathed a sigh of relief. He finally stopped the people from his country from asking.
"Why?" The people of the Nantian family naturally followed.
Tengyuan Ma Yang: "…"
Shimodo Shinbei continued, "They say that it's some kind of dust explosion. They make rice noodles, rice noodles, liangpi, dough wrappers, scones, noodles, and other rice and flour products."
"Ah!" The person who asked the question responded. In fact, he still didn't understand.
When it was their turn to cross the bridge, a woman came over with a copper rod to dispel the static for Nantian Kazuko.
She also used a small spray bottle made of bamboo to spray some mist on her body and used a brooch.
She took a slightly damp mask and put it on. She checked her hair and also sprayed some mist.
After doing this, they were finally allowed to enter. They were also told that because they didn't have the usual masks, they had to hand in the masks when they came out.
In any case, the people of the Nantian family felt that the people of the Tang dynasty were amazing. Their family couldn't think of such a method, and they also didn't know why they had to do it.
"It's not like the current situation. Will it explode when we enter?" They asked if they had any questions.
"Dongzhu said that 10,000 people enter and leave every day. After 10,000 days, nothing might happen. It's also possible that 1,000 people enter and leave every day. On the tenth day, there will be a loud bang, like a volcanic eruption."
Lan Bao really couldn't give a better example. He used a volcano as an example.
Everyone walked carefully and wore masks.
A factory was used to process one kind of thing. There was a special pool where it needed to be cleaned. There were pottery pipes under the pool.
When the water was released, the water would flow into the pottery pipes. No one knew where it would flow to.
Lan Bao said in advance, "There are reservoirs, sedimentation ponds, and flocculation ponds outside. Dongzhu said clearly that the water used for food crops is basically acidic.
After treatment, it's still not complete. The process is poor. When it's discharged into the river, it will have an impact, but the impact will be small.
During the dry season, dredging operations will be carried out in the area where it's discharged. The sediment will be fermented and used as fertilizer. "
The people of the Nantian family still didn't understand. Anyway, they just listened.
After entering the factories, some people moved the finished products onto carts or poles and then left.
There were people at the side who took notes and collected the money. The people who worked only cared about their work and didn't contact outsiders.
Things like dough skin, rice noodles, rice noodles, and so on came out.
There were also people who specially made scones, bread, rolls, and steamed buns in places without factories nearby.
In every factory, the production process was written in a conspicuous place and taught others how to make it.
"Many of the things we buy are exported from here? The people who sell them buy them and then sell them to us? If they write the method, why don't they make it themselves? "
The question appeared again. It was even more frequent than when the imperial court officials asked Li Yi.
"It's more expensive to make it ourselves than to buy it from here. If we buy something from here for one coin, it's at least one coin and a half if we make it at home. It's also a waste of our time.
When they buy it back, they just have to add some special soup or something to make it taste different.
If we make it ourselves, it's easy for it to go moldy. It's not good for others to have a stomachache if they eat it. "
Meng Haoran once again acted as a guide. There was a workshop in Lantian County that was smaller than this one.
The requirements were also strict. Li Yi didn't allow people to not do it when they knew it would damage the environment and there was a way to deal with it.
The manure pits in the homes of the people in the capital had to be dealt with unless there was a sudden rainstorm and the water didn't go in and out.
If the people of the Japanese Empire's Nantian family felt the humanities before, now they felt the technology embodied in the humanities.
The strength of the Tang dynasty's Chang 'an was definitely not in one aspect, but in the whole.
Meng Haoran knew this, but he didn't know that this system was thousands of years ahead of the world.
