Chapter 241: Sitting on the toilet
After coming out of the bathroom, it felt very comfortable to breathe in the fresh air outside, and the three of Li Ang did not rush back to their residence, but lay down again on the rocking chair in the courtyard. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Due to mass production, there are a lot of rocking chairs in Ang Lee's mansion, in addition to the front yard and the big backyard, there are a lot of yards, bathrooms, and inner houses in the backyard, so no matter where Ang Lee goes, he can rest comfortably on the rocking chair.
There is still half a month to go before the Chinese New Year, so the moon is getting smaller and smaller from the full moon, and at this time, the moon in the sky is slightly larger than the half moon, and it still looks very bright.
Ang Lee and the three of them lay on the rocking chairs, admiring the moon while breathing in the fresh air in the courtyard to expel the turbid air they had inhaled in the bathroom.
"Big brother, this rocking chair is really comfortable, you have to give me three, no, five."
"Big brother, I want five too."
Li An smiled: "So many rocking chairs have been shipped to your home, you can keep as many as you want, and the eldest brother can still be reluctant!" ”
"Haha! I know that the eldest brother must be willing, what is the relationship between us! However, Shouyu and Guangsheng also have to send some, lest they have opinions and say that the eldest brother is biased. ”
"Okay, anyway, the carpenter door is done very quickly, and I can afford to send some of them."
Of course, Ang Lee won't feel sorry for this.
"Big brother, this bathroom is so warm, it's so comfortable to take a bath in winter, and in the future, our mansion will also build such a bathroom."
"We can't just wash it here with the eldest brother, why do we have to build it alone, what a waste!"
"It's okay now, but it's not suitable in the future, the eldest brother and we will get married sooner or later, and when the time comes, the eldest brother will definitely prefer to bathe with his sister-in-law, and he won't want us anymore."
"Oh, that's right! Big brother, will you be like this? ”
Li An glared at the two of them and said loudly: "Of course, you still want to stay here with the eldest brother all the time!" Get married early, get out of the house early. ”
"Uh, hahaha!"
"Eh, big brother, why are you so much smarter than us? When you were in Yingzhou, you made skis and snowboards, let us fly in the snow, and now, you have built rocking chairs, fireplaces, bathrooms and vegetable greenhouses, why are you so good? ”
"Yes! Big brother, I found that since you were injured by the girder, you seem to have changed as a different person, and you have become smarter and smarter. ”
Of course, Li An would not tell them that their eldest brother had been stoned to death by the beams of the house a long time ago, and the current eldest brother was a fake, a person from the next generation, and the insight in his mind was naturally very comparable.
"Isn't it a good thing that the big brother has become smarter? As for how you suddenly got smart, it's not very important, you know? Also, the eldest brother has been taking time to read books throughout the year, and you have read a few books. ”
Ang Lee is changing the subject.
"Big brother, we can't recognize a few words, it's too tiring to read, besides, what's the use of reading, it's just a waste of time."
Kunxiong and Feiyu are rude men, and reading books is really too hard for them.
Li Anzheng said: "Reading books is a waste of time, you think so, no wonder you are not as smart as the eldest brother, because you never read, and the eldest brother often reads." ”
"Big brother, in this way, these things are all from books."
Li An smiled slightly: "It's not all, of course it's not enough to just read books, you must learn to summarize and think, only in this way can you use the knowledge in books and learn things that are useful to yourself, that is to say, reading can inspire people's wisdom and give people inspiration to create, understand?" ”
"Don't understand?"
Kunxiong and Feiyu looked confused.
"Forget it, forget if you don't understand, eldest brother probably doesn't understand it either, such a profound truth, I'm afraid only a smart and wise person like eldest brother can understand it!"
Li Anmei pretended to be forced, and despised Kunxiong and Feiyu by the way, but these two people are not competitive.
"Big brother, how big do you say this world is! In addition to our Datang, how many places are there. ”
Li Kunxiong looked at the moon and stars in the sky and asked curiously.
"Guess what."
Ang Lee sold a pass.
"I guess all the barbarian lands add up to half the size of the Tang Dynasty."
"The land of barbarians is huge, I think it's bigger than Datang."
Li An smiled: "Kunxiong, do you mean that the world includes the sun, moon and stars in the sky?" ”
"The sun, the moon and the stars? Big brother, what is included, and what is not included? ”
Li An sighed, and said with a straight face: "If even the sun, moon and stars are counted, it will be too big, if the world is my Datang, then my Datang is just a grain of sand on the ground, even smaller than a grain of sand." ”
"What, the world will be so big, big brother, how is this possible?"
"Forget it, if you don't believe it, just treat it as a big brother talking nonsense."
Li Ang didn't bother to explain, besides, even if he did, the two of them might not be able to understand.
"Big brother, what if you don't count the sun, moon and stars, but only the land, rivers, lakes and seas?"
Li An smiled: "There are fifty Datang in the world that day, I understand." ”
"Fifty Datang, there is such a big world in the world, what about my God?"
Li Kunxiong looked surprised and stretched out five fingers.
Li An knew that they would be so surprised, paused, and said: "In the world we live in, there are fifty Datang as big, but thirty-five of them are oceans, and the remaining fifteen are lands that can live in people, and my Datang is already very big." ”
"Big brother, do you read all these things in books?"
Li An smiled: "It is based on the knowledge in the books, I summarized it myself, in short, the world is very big, very big, of course, no matter how big the world is, no country surpasses the Tang Dynasty, it is just a barbarian." ”
"Wow, the world is so big, I should really go outside and have a look."
Li Kunxiong sighed.
Ang Lee smiled: "Do you really want to know about the outside world?" This big brother can tell you about it, so that you can enjoy it first. ”
"Big brother, then tell us about it! For example, Kunlunnu's hometown, what kind of place is it, and why are the people there so dark! ”
"Yes, big brother, let's talk about Kunlun slave first!"
Li An nodded and said, "The last time I bought Kunlun Nu, the eldest brother has already told you that Kunlun Nu's hometown is on the African continent, do you know how big the African continent is?" ”
"Big brother, how big is the African continent!"
"There are three Datang on the African continent, but most of them are wild places, very poor and backward, only the northernmost location is more powerful, but it is still not as big as our Datang."
Ang Lee explained.
"Big brother, last time you said that if you want to go to Kunlunnu's hometown, you need to start from the Western Regions, and then walk tens of thousands of miles west to arrive, it is so far, then you must pass through many small countries along the way! What are the small countries? ”
Li Kunxiong asked.
Li Ang thought for a while, and told the situation of the small countries such as Tocharian and the big food empire that he would pass through along the way, not only introducing the approximate land area, population, etc. of these countries, but also introducing the natural conditions of these countries, as well as customs, resources, and anecdotes, and even, the evolution of these international regimes, 1510 said, among them, especially the Great Food Empire, after all, on the road to the African continent, The Great Food Empire is the only powerful regime capable of competing with the Tang Dynasty, and apart from the Great Food Empire, Ang Lee really doesn't care about other small countries.
If history does not change, in a few years, the Tang Empire and the Great Food Empire will have a conflict in Central Asia, and the result of the conflict is the defeat of the Tang Dynasty, and the loss of Anxi's elite soldiers and horses, which will seriously dampen the international prestige of the Tang Empire, and then create good conditions for An Lushan to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, Li An doesn't want Datang to lose to Da Shi, so Anxi has to go around this place sooner or later, if he is lucky, maybe he can bring back three or five beautiful Da Shi beauties?
"Big brother, there are so many countries west of Anxi! So where is the farthest place? ”
Ang Lee is in a good mood today, and he told the situation in North America, Oceania, and Antarctica, although these distant continents are not verifiable, but Ang Lee said this, and felt much more comfortable in his heart.
Looking at Kunxiong and Fei Yu's surprised expression, Ang Lee's heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, which was the superiority of knowledge.
Half an hour later, all nine maids were washed, plus the six maids who had taken a bath earlier, a total of fifteen maids all left the bathroom, and after saluting by Li An's side, they returned to the room in the middle courtyard.
Looking at the maids who usually look very ordinary, all of them are beautiful today, Ang Lee couldn't help but sigh out of the water hibiscus, and even believed in the sentence 'There are no ugly women in the world, only lazy women.'" 'Women? Born to dress up animals, as long as you dress up a little, it will increase a lot of appearance, especially the woman who has just finished bathing, it is full of a different kind of charm, even the black girl with a black face has become a lot more brilliant.
Subsequently, Zhao Liu poured into the bathroom with the manservant and some craftsmen from the mansion, the number of these people was relatively large, and it would definitely be difficult to tolerate entering together, so Zhao Liu divided the manservant, the guards and the craftsman into two groups, with the high status and high skills coming first, and the rest coming last.
However, for these workers, as long as they can take a beautiful bath, they don't care about the order of order at all, they don't have this concept in their minds.
After staying in the courtyard for half an hour, Li An felt a little cold, so he took Kunxiong and Feiyu back to the bedroom.
At this time, the fireplace in the bedroom had already burned, the whole room was warm, and it was very comfortable for people to stay in it.
Early the next morning, Li An got up to go to the toilet, looked at the toilet that had just been built, checked it first, and then sat down gently, which felt really good.
"Big brother, what are you doing sitting in the thatched house?"
Li Kunxiong walked into the thatched house sleepily and was very surprised to see Li An sitting there.
"Didn't you see the eldest brother going to the toilet? Wait for now! ”
Li An gave Li Kunxiong a blank look.
"Toileting, sitting on the toilet?"
Li Kunxiong was slightly startled, suddenly understood, and said, "I know, the eldest brother is sitting on the flush toilet?" ”
"That's right, this is the flush toilet, which is much more comfortable than squatting, but this is just one, as long as there is no problem with the next use, the eldest brother will build a few more, and even the next person can use it when the time comes."
Ang Lee said with a smile.
The reason why I plan to let my subordinates also use it is to let them experience it, and then spread it out to advertise their new inventions, so that the flush toilet can also form an industrial chain and eventually obtain a lot of benefits for themselves.
Although in the era of the Tang Dynasty, the status of businessmen is the lowest among the four classes, and people with official status cannot do business, let alone be ashamed to do business, but only business can bring huge benefits to themselves, that is to say, the status of businessmen is the lowest, but the benefits obtained by businessmen are also the greatest, and the status of scholars is the highest, but poor scholars often have no food, and businessmen have a low status, and they can often be rich and rival the country.
For this reason, many people with official status and status have begun to do business secretly, that is, let their subordinates or relatives and friends do business, and they are only responsible for collecting money.
And Li An is the same, of course he will not go to the street to sell rocking chairs in person, but as long as he hands these over to Zhao Liu and his subordinates, he believes that with Zhao Liu's shrewdness, he can handle this matter well.
After Li An used the flush toilet, he gently pressed the small switch behind him, and a stream of water poured down, instantly flushing the dirt inside the toilet without a trace.
"Big brother, this is really good, in this way, the thatched house will be clean, as soon as you enter here, no one will think that this is a thatched house! Ha ha! ”
Li Kunxiong was very excited.
"Okay, don't just get excited, let's experience it yourself!"
Li An said and walked out of the thatched house and walked to the front yard, although he could obviously let the maid bring the food into the backyard, but Li An liked the atmosphere of the front yard, and in addition, he didn't want to dirty the backyard, so he personally walked to the front yard to eat every time.
"Ah Lang, Yan Yushi just sent someone over, saying that the marriage between Ah Lang and Miss Ruyu is scheduled for the year before, let Ah Lang get ready and hire as soon as possible."
Zhao Liu ran over with a happy face and reported happily.
"Years ago, I was in such a hurry, but what are the rules for hiring?"
Although Ang Lee has been in Datang for more than a year, he doesn't know anything about Datang's marriage system, let alone the normal process of weddings.
"Ah Lang, don't worry, these Zhao Liu understand? If Ah Lang doesn't know anything, just ask me directly. ”
Zhao Liu's face was happy.
"Forget it, I won't ask you anymore, I'll leave this matter to you, don't let me down."
Li An was too lazy to sort out the marriage system, and directly pushed the matter to Zhao Liu.
"Ah Lang, don't worry, Zhao Liu will go to find the best matchmaker." (To be continued.) )
