Good Life in Qin Dynasty

So far, Song State was removed from the Warring States Period.

From the first monarch Wei Ziqi to the last monarch Song Kangwang, the Song Kingdom experienced 35 monarchs, spanning three periods: Western Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn Period, and Warring States Period, as long as 820 years.

According to the research of later generations, its largest territory spanned the eastern part of Henan, the northwestern part of Jiangsu and the southwestern tip of Shandong, covering an area of ​​about [-] square kilometers. Zhou Tianzi really treated the descendants of the Yin and Shang dynasties kindly.

That may be the last emperor who treated his country well after his subjugation.

When the Song State was strong and prosperous, the economy was developed, and the people of the Song State were good at doing business, and they played an important role in inheriting and developing the Yin Shang culture, especially the commercial culture.

The prosperous and prosperous business culture of the Song Dynasty was firstly manifested in the development of the city.

At that time, Shangqiu, the capital of Song Dynasty on the north bank of Sui River, Taoqiu on the north bank of Ji River, and Pengcheng at the confluence of Huoshui and Surabaya, were all extremely prosperous commercial cities.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty is the source of Chinese sage culture, the birthplace of the four major thoughts of Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism and famous scholars, which are at the core of Chinese traditional culture, and is known as the state of etiquette. From Song Dynasty.

However, because the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, the four sages after Confucius, Mozi, Zhuangzi and Huizi also fled to other countries and refused to serve the new country.

This is the Mohism in the later period. The later Mohism made important contributions in logic and began to move closer to the field of scientific research.

The main ideological propositions of Mohism are: equal love between people (universal love), opposing wars of aggression (non-aggression), advocating economy, opposing extravagance and waste (saving use), and attaching importance to inheriting the cultural wealth of predecessors (Ming Gui) , Master the laws of nature (Tianzhi), etc.

Mozi is the only philosopher who was born as a farmer in the history of China. Mozi founded the theory of Mohism. Mohism had a great influence in the pre-Qin period.

He proposed "universal love", "non-attack", "advocating the virtuous", "appreciating the same", "Tianzhi", "minggui", "non-destiny", "non-joy", "festival burial", "festival use" " and other points of view, with universal love as the core, economical use and praising the virtuous as the fulcrum.

Mozi established a set of scientific theories with outstanding achievements in geometry, physics and optics during the Warring States Period.At that time, a hundred schools of thought contended, and it was called "non-Confucianism and ink".

After Mo Zi's death, Mohism was divided into three schools: Mo of Xiangli's family, Mo of Xiangfu's family, and Mo of Deng Ling's family.

Based on the historical materials of Mozi's life and deeds, his disciples collected his quotations and completed the book "Mozi".

If the person in front of me is really a member of the Mo family, which branch would it be?

Li Jiyang didn't know, but he knew that he would definitely keep this person!

"I don't know how to fight either. Although I participate in political affairs, I'm just a spectator to accompany the young king." Li Jiyang smiled very sincerely: "I also like to study some small things on weekdays. You don't think I have no ambition, do you?"

Hearing what Li Jiyi said, Song Hongzi laughed immediately: "No, that's fine. In the chaotic world, it's hard to find a place to study something that benefits the country and the people."

"Not bad, not bad, for example, tofu is very good." It saved Ah Zheng a lot of gold and silver.

"That's right, that's right!" When it came to tofu, Song Hongzi added something more: "I have an idea, tofu is made of bean, so can you use something else?"

"Use something else?" Li Jiyang thought for a while: "It seems impossible, because it cannot be condensed."

"Really?" Song Hongzi thought for a while: "Then what are the tofu derivatives?"

"It's just some ways of making tofu. Changing the craftsmanship can make it something else." Specifically, to be honest, it's not that Li Jiyang didn't tell him, but that he himself still copied the craftsmanship of later generations of tofu workshops!

I think they had researched and written papers on this in the past. Tofu can turn decay into magic!

Even rotten stinky tofu is still delicious!

"I see." Song Hongzi was a little confused because he had never seen tofu derivatives.

"How about this, tonight, I invite you to have a tofu feast! Take it as a clean-up for your husband!" Li Jiyang chuckled, "In addition to tofu derivatives, there are also various dishes made from tofu. I hope you like it!"

"Then thank you, Lord!" This man was also very kind, and immediately called Li Jiyang "Your Lord", which obviously meant that he regarded himself as a guest.

Because Li Jiyang is Qin Anjun, there is nothing wrong with calling him "Jun Shang". If he is closer, like Yang Feiying, he is called "Young Master" just like his family members.

Because Li Jiyang is the adopted son of the former king, this is the adopted son who worshiped the ancestral temple, and he is no different from his own son. He is the biological son of the former king, and he has not yet been crowned king!

"You're welcome. I happen to have something I don't understand. You can help me think about it." Li Jiyang immediately showed his fox tail.

"What?" Sure enough, the other party was fooled.

"I want something that doesn't take too much effort to wash clothes. Have you heard of a pedal washing machine?" Li Jiyang asked his first question. Those who study archaeology, not science and engineering, generally return that bit of theoretical knowledge to school after high school.

The reason why he still remembers a little bit is because he is a student of archaeology, and he usually compares ancient things with modern things. This is one of his mentors' favorite thing to do = as time goes by, their students are also used to Yes, use the heads of today's people to think about the wisdom of the ancients.

In ancient times, there were pedal washing machines, but that was in the early years of the Republic of China, and Li Jiyang knew that pedal washing machines did not use electricity at first, and all rely on manual pedals, but it is much less labor-intensive than washing clothes now .

He talked to the other party about what the general meaning was. Specifically, Li Jiyang could only provide a little inspiration, but nothing else.

"Why do you think of this?" Yang Feiying was very curious, even when he was in the most difficult time, he never washed his clothes by himself.

Of course, it's also possible that he couldn't wash it clean at all!

Besides, maybe you don’t know how to do laundry?

"I saw Chunya and the others washing clothes that day, they looked very strenuous, and the river was cold in winter, when the women washed their clothes, they would be so cold, and they are weak, what should they do if they get sick again?" Li Jiyang looked at it. Song Hongzi didn't continue, because the next thing is that because the Qin people had a lot of labor, they chose to join the army, and the family was supported by the old and weak, women and children. If it can make the women feel more relaxed, it can also relieve the pressure.

It is not easy for a woman to run a family, not to mention the Warring States period. It is not as good as those unified dynasties in later generations. At least they can give a chastity memorial archway or something, and the neighbors and the court will take care of it^ This era has not yet been poisoned by Confucianism. Widows remarry No one will say anything.

"The king is benevolent!" Song Hongzi was very moved by this reason.

"In this case, sir, you can live here. It turns out that Mr. Yang's courtyard is for Mr. Song, which is the same as Mr. Yang's configuration at that time." Li Jiyang glanced at Yang Feiying.

Yang Feiying immediately helped Song Hongzi up with a smile: "Come on, Mr. Song, I'll take you to have a look! The place I lived at the time was in the front, not to mention the convenience of getting in and out, and there are special people standing guard..."

Regardless of the other party's tattered clothes, he helped him out to have a look at the place, and by the way called Li Fu to come over to recognize him, and Li Fu immediately found someone to serve him, but Song Hongzi refused to be served by others and only took a bath by himself. There are no lice in my hair, so I don't need to shave my head.

"I want something that doesn't take too much effort to wash clothes. Have you heard of a pedal washing machine?" Li Jiyang asked his first question. Those who study archaeology, not science and engineering, generally return that bit of theoretical knowledge to school after high school.

There are no lice in my hair, so I don't need to shave my head.

Originally, he didn't want to change his clothes, but how could Li Fu make the son's servants dress like a beggar?

Throw away his clothes, no matter whether they are inner or outer clothes, no matter how thick or thin they are!

I have prepared twenty pairs of underpants for him, not to mention obscene underwear, underwear and inner pants, middle jacket and middle trousers, [-] sets of long gowns for outerwear, and shoes, which are divided into left and right feet, [-] sets. pair.

I measured my body before taking a bath, and after taking a bath, the two sets that came out of urgent work were delivered, and the rest were in place within three days.

That night, Li Jiyang really entertained Mr. Song Hongzi.

Ying Zheng waited for a long time in Qin Palace before the servant replied: "A visitor came to Qin Anjun's residence, and Qin Anjun hosted a tofu banquet for him at home, so he has no intention of entering the palace."

"Forget it, take everything away!" Ying Zheng lost his appetite when he heard that Li Jiyang would not enter the palace.

A waiter next to him saw the timing and came over: "Why don't the king go to the Queen Mother's place? The Queen Mothers in the two palaces have a lot of delicious food!"

Ying Zheng thought about it. It seems that he hasn't eaten with his two grandmothers recently. A Niang is in confinement and it is inconvenient to eat with him. The younger brother is too young and is still breastfeeding.

"Alright!" Ying Zheng got up and went to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces.

The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces knew that her eldest grandson was coming, and she was very happy, so she asked the kitchen to quickly prepare the roasted beef, the tender one, and roast some green vegetables for the eldest grandson to eat!

Yingzheng fully enjoyed the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren here, and the food was not bad, but he felt that there was something wrong in his heart.

But in Qin An's mansion, it was very lively!

As soon as the tofu banquet came out, Song Hongzi watched it carefully!

Li Jiyang also admired himself very much!

Because as long as he moves his mouth, others will make out what he said dryly!

A table of tofu was served with rapeseed and water spinach; this made Butler Li Fu feel sorry for Mr. Song who had just arrived, so he offered a dish of roasted beef on his own initiative as a staple food.

However, he still served pies for the young master alone. Li Jiyang likes to break the pies into small pieces, soak them in crucian carp tofu soup, and add some small green vegetables. It tastes delicious!

Song Hongzi hadn't eaten anything delicious before, but he liked tofu!

"This is delicious!" Song Hongzi ate almost everything that was served, Chunya was so frightened that the people behind him changed to small plates before serving, fearing that they would be overwhelmed!

"If you like it, you can eat this every day in the future. In fact, tofu is originally a food for common people. It is easy to make, soft and easy to digest!" Li Jiyang began to enumerate the benefits of tofu. The most important thing is that it can be eaten by the old, weak, sick and disabled. .

"Yes!" After eating and drinking, this man finally decided to stay.

Of course, after sending him back, Li Jiyang asked someone to invite Yang Feiying to have a secret talk.

"What do you think of this man?" Li Jiyang first asked Yang Feiying.

"For the time being, I still can't see it clearly, but it's okay to look at it?" Yang Feiying was not sure.

"He is from the Mohist family." Li Jiyang said straight away.

"A member of the Mo family?" Yang Feiying's eyes lit up: "How can you see that?"

Li Jiyang told him about the situation of the Mohist school, especially emphasizing the divisions of the Mohist school: "After the death of Mozi, the Mohist school was divided into three schools: the Mohism of the Xiangli family, the Mohism of the Xiangfu family, and the Mohism of the Dengling family."

"Then who is this?" Yang Feiying was a little dizzy.

"I still can't tell which one it is." Li Jiyang told Yang Feiying: "Be sure to establish a good relationship with him, and don't ask them to contribute to Qin, but I hope they will not be hostile to Qin, or even harm."

A classic movie from later generations gave Li Jiyang a good understanding of the power of the Mohists. He was afraid that Qin would lose the chance to fight against the Mohists, and he was even more afraid that others would win over the Mohists and deal with the Qin army.

And if the Mohism can rise and resonate with the Legalism, it is estimated that there will be nothing wrong with Confucianism!

Will there be "burning books and burying scholars" at that time, who can say for sure?

"Understood!" Yang Feiying nodded viciously. If Song Hongzi was really a disciple of the Mohist family, then they would have made a profit this time.

At this time, Song Hongzi was sitting in front of the table, staring at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in a daze. He had never seen these things before!
