Chapter 453: The Greatness of the Capital
There are advantages to being in the capital or not.
The capital is the most prosperous place in Jin Dynasty. It is home to rare treasures from all over the world. It is very convenient to buy and see new things.
But for the development of industry, it is still a little bit behind.
Mineral resources are distributed in various places, and it costs a lot to transport them to the capital. But it is still very difficult for a group of craftsmen to build various basic industrial workshops from scratch. So Yuntao has to go and supervise them in person.
Until the craftsman has mastered everything and becomes proficient, she will move to other places.
Of course, she was not the only one who contributed.
The modern information in Yuntao's hands is based on the attacks that will be developed in the future.
For example, if you need a screw, you can buy it at any hardware store on the street, and there are various models and sizes.
Screws and nuts hold the two parts together tightly.
Dajin now has no screws, no nuts, or even large steel parts.
To make something like a liquid pipeline, you can only rely on a large number of craftsmen to accumulate it and replace it with some novel objects and methods.
For example, the streets in Beijing are largely paved with cement. Although walking is much easier than dirt roads, the cleaning and management of these roads need to be considered every day.
Anything scattered on the gray cement road will be very conspicuous. If the passing animals poop randomly and various carriages drive by, it will be even more difficult to take care of it.
The capital also has some rules restricting carriages, and some people will hang a bag on the buttocks of horses and livestock entering the city to prevent the horses from urinating everywhere.
For this reason, many craftsmen have used their wisdom. Some have made brooms that are more convenient for sweeping the floor, and some have also made wooden barrels on the roadside to hold all kinds of garbage and debris.
When the incident reached Yuntao's ears, Yuntao sighed. No matter in that era, everyone's wisdom was the same.
People in Jin Dynasty have already come up with the idea of placing trash cans on the roadside in Beijing!
Yuntao helped fix some minor problems, such as providing a small cart for each person responsible for cleaning the street, which can be pushed around, and other comprehensive tools were also provided.
Yuntao also suggested to the people above to provide more benefits. Sanitation workers have to go out regardless of rain or shine, which is much harder than ordinary work. Should they also receive more money?
There are many small problems like this. In addition to money, they also need people's hearts.
People at the top need to use their own conscience to treat the ordinary people below, and people with ability need to truly love and care for these people, instead of changing their aloof face and looking down on the people below when they reach a high position.
Before leaving, Yuntao has a lot of things to pack.
In addition to some miscellaneous luggage, there are still some people to meet.
Perhaps thinking that they would not be in the capital for the next few years and would have to wait a long time to return to this place, the couple deliberately chose an afternoon with a beautiful scenery, left their children behind, and started living together as two of them.
The two of them put on ordinary people's coarse cloth. Yuntao also asked the maid to comb her hair into the double bun she had worn when she was a girl. She put on brightly colored dresses and stood in front of the mirror to let herself feel some youthful vitality.
"Does it look good?" Yuntao held up her skirt and approached Li Qianchen.
Li Qianchen was not too surprised by the fact that his wife was dressed as a girl. He nodded helplessly, "It looks good! When walking on the street, they must all think that you and I are brother and sister!"
Yuntao let go of her skirt, stepped forward to hold Li Qianchen's hand, and said happily: "This way I won't admit my mistake!"
The folk customs in Beijing are open, and it is not uncommon for unmarried couples to walk hand in hand.
After hearing this, Li Qianchen pinched the face of the person next to him and said, "Smart guy!"
In Yuntao's view, she was already married at a very early age. For them, it was normal to get married and have children in their thirties, but she was only in her early twenties, so she was very young.
Including the people around her, they also look very young.
Li Qianchen is a few years older than Yuntao. If he were placed in an ordinary couple's home, the child would probably be able to study and take the Tongsheng test.
Bearding was a culture in the official circles of the Jin Dynasty. Regardless of officials or military officers, they all had to grow a beard when they got older.
Judging from Li Qianchen's age and qualifications, he is not young. He should have grown a large beard like his colleagues around him, but one time Yuntao said that he looked so old with a beard, unlike her husband.
, just like dad.
Li Qianchen thought about his father-in-law Yun Huachun. Yun Huachun didn't grow a beard.
I haven't had a beard since.
Li Qianchen felt that it was not a deviant thing for his wife to wear a girl's dress. Who doesn't miss their youth?
It's just that he has to carefully protect the beauty of his wife's life.
The two of them left Yun Mansion through the side door and strolled hand in hand along the street.
On the streets we passed, we saw many neighbors.
Most of them were adults riding in sedan carriages or riding horses in a hurry to go home!
The adults on horseback were in a hurry and did not look carefully! The adults who were wandering around in the carriage were blocked by the curtain and could not see the scene outside the carriage.
The boys outside did not recognize the two of them. Only the stewards who occasionally visited Yun's house glanced at them, as if they had seen something scary.
I wanted to say hello to my elders but was a little hesitant, but these two were staring at me from the roadside!
Seeing Yun Tao's dress, they hesitated a little. How could the princess go out on the street dressed like this?
Thinking of what I had heard before, someone once picked up the Marquis Yun and his wife in coarse cloth on this street, and it seemed that this was not a strange thing.
The steward hesitated for a long time and could only watch the two people slowly walk away.
The couple walked out of the alley hand in hand and wandered aimlessly on the street.
Yuntao saw something fresh, delicious and fun, so she took Li Qianchen's hand and went to it, confidently asking the people around her to pay for it.
If she couldn't take the fun things, she asked Li Qianchen to hold them for her. After buying some delicious food, she gave half of them to Li Qianchen.
Many vendors saw her and couldn't help but praise her, "My eldest brother is so considerate!"
Yuntao smiled slightly and said, "This is my lover!"
Dajin's lover is equivalent to her boyfriend.
The hawker was not surprised and casually congratulated the two on a long life together.
Yuntao held Li Qianchen's hand calmly and thanked the blessings with a smile on her face.
She will be with the people around her for a long time.
No matter how nice the spring weather is, walking for a while will inevitably make you feel hot and tired.
Yuntao took Li Qianchen to a small tea stall on the corner of the street and sat down, asking for a pot of warm tea.
The shopkeeper of the tea stall quickly put down the tea, saw that the two of them had a lot of food in their hands, and did not recommend any snacks, so he quickly retreated.
Yuntao held the tea cup and looked at a small building in front of the street inadvertently.
She recalled a person with whom she had a deep quarrel.
