Two hundred and twenty-eighth chapter Lingao's clerical affairs
In "look, hear, listen and feel", the word "wang" actually also contains some facial features. The middle-aged man in front of me is probably in his early thirties and early forties. His forehead and cheekbones are not obvious.
It can be seen that he has had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child; there are knots between his eyebrows and lines on his forehead, which should be due to excessive worry and depression; his hands and feet are steady when getting off the car, and his body is relaxed when pacing but his waist is stiff, indicating that he does not lack exercise but is habitual
Sitting for long periods of time... The key point is that this person is by no means a carefree person, so some worries can be put aside.
"But Mr. Zhang from Shaoxing?" Yang Shixiang bowed his hand.
"That's the student." Zhang Dai also looked at the rich man with red lips and white teeth in front of him with some suspicion, and also bowed his hand and said: "The student borrowed Mr. Zhao's famous thorn from Sanshui three days ago. Please see the master of Runshi Hall. I don't know -
―”
"Hahahaha" Yang Shixiang suddenly felt an inexplicable joy in his heart: "Wansheng is the owner of Runshitang..."
Uh... Zhang Dai is a little dazed. Is this still possible? Speaking of which, I really "asked to see the master of Runshi Hall", but... you should cut your hair short!
"It's noon, Mr. Zhang, please come in and talk." Yang Shixiang couldn't help but said, and turned sideways to let Zhang Dai, who was in a dazed state, into Runshi Hall.
Everything else about this flagship store designed by Australians is good, except that it is not good at all - the store design concept of Big World is modern, small in area and compact in structure. Therefore, there is no structure of a front store and a back square, and there is no
The courtyard is large and small. If it is just a store for business, this design is actually very good; today, it seems cramped to receive customers: there is no suitable private room. Behind the store is either a warehouse or a accounting room, and there is also a packaging workshop. Although the "manager's office" has a reception room attached
, the area is only about 20 square meters. According to modern people's standards, it is not too narrow, but for those who came from the "old society" and are used to tall halls and halls, it is really a bit uncomfortable. So.
After Yang Shixiang asked him to sit down on the sofa, Zhang Dai couldn't help but look around to see this brand-new style of shop.
Only when the clerk put the herbal tea snacks on the coffee table and said goodbye did Zhang Dai regain his composure.
The tea is black tea filled with yellow citrus slices in a glass cup - he has drunk this at Zhao Yingong's place and knows it is called "lemon black tea". Drinking it in summer is the best way to relieve heat and quench thirst. He is a gourmet, not like many
People are so taboo about cold and raw food. What’s more, Australians’ diet is famously clean.
Although he had already drank kvass just now, the iced black tea with thin water droplets on the glass still aroused his appetite. He picked it up and took a sip. It felt refreshing and pleasant, but too kvass.
On the plate next to it, there were a few pieces of burnt yellow snacks, which looked like shortbread, with swirls, but had an indescribable sweet aroma.
This was probably the "cookie". He had heard of the name of this thing in the Liang Mansion. The official snacks of the Liang family did not have this thing, but the maids and concubines of the family who had some respectability sent people to buy it.
This novel Australian snack is delicious.
Putting down the cup, he took a closer look at the "Master of Runshitang" and couldn't help but secretly wonder.
"this……"
"The student is the owner of Runshitang. This Runshitang was originally a family of Yang Run's Kaitang in Foshan. It was only after my father's family split up and settled in Qiongya that Runshitang came into existence." Yang Shixiang started talking and saw
Zhang Dai had no reaction, and then he remembered that he was a scholar from Jiangnan and had no feelings for a century-old restaurant in Guangnan like Yangrun Kaitang, so it was all in vain. "After the Australians entered Qiongya, they were confused by 'Biwen San' and
'Zhuge Xingjun Dan', two patent medicines that benefit the people and save the world, the shop cooperated with the Australian, and later they even merged their shares. However, the owner of Runshitang has always been Yang." Yang Shixiang knew what the other party wanted.
What to do, take the initiative to introduce the topic in a direction that the other party is interested in.
"Ashamed, ashamed. I just--" Zhang Dai wanted to directly say that he came directly to the Australians, but felt that it was too abrupt and rude, so he reorganized the cause and effect: "I had many things when I was in Jiangnan.
From what I heard, everyone said that Guangli is full of Australian curiosities, delicacies and treasures. There is also the Sanshui scholar Zhao Yingong, who sells Australian books in Hangzhou. He is also proficient in Australian studies. There are many in our company.
I met a good friend and was deeply impressed by him. So I decided to go south. When I said goodbye ten miles away, Mr. Zhao gave me a famous thorn and said that if I need anything, I can ask at the Runshitang store in Guangli. Since Mr. Zhao is willing to spare no effort, I want to
Are you acquainted with that Zhao Xiucai? I just don’t know..."
When he asked this question, Zhang Dai probably thought that if Zhao Yingong was indeed a "kun thief", whether he was a real kun or a fake kun, the "Australian owner" of Runshitang was not suitable to meet him. The person in front of him was not suitable for him.
Dongzhu Yang is currently the best candidate to meet.
The two chatted casually for a few words. Zhang Dai wanted to inquire about the situation in Lingao. Yang Shixiang had the task of "preaching", so he changed the topic to "Lingao matters".
"...The Australians came to Lingao and made a lot of efforts. Not only did they renovate Molixuan Academy and reorganize the school fields, all the students got money, food, and books to read, but they also set up their own Australian schools."
Here Yang Shixiang said with a proud face: "My incompetent young son had no hope of becoming a saint, so he was sent to an Australian school." Looking at that arrogant face and the way he was twirling his beard and shaking his head,
, Zhang Dai knew that Dr. Yang’s youngest son was probably successful in his studies at Macao University, but Yang Shixiang himself did not express his words clearly, so Zhang Dai was embarrassed and didn’t know whether he should compliment him or not.
"What the Australians said was quite interesting. One day, I asked the kid what he had learned in school today. The kid talked a lot about arithmetic, the power of this, the power of that, and the rolling of a ball.
Going down a slope and the like were all nonsense that I couldn't understand. I was tired of hearing this and was about to let him go after slapping my palms a few times, but he added that today we also talked about the Suiren clan, the Chao clan, and the Yellow Emperor.
Emperor Yan, Leizu, Cangjie, etc." Yang Shixiang was so absorbed in what he said that his eyes had lost focus. He naturally picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip of herbal tea before continuing to talk.
"I'm surprised, this Australian also talks about ancient sages? I want the little grandson to explain what the Australians say." At this point, Yang Shixiang first sighed "Alas", and then
Instead of repeating his son's original words, he reorganized and summarized them himself: "These Australians believe that the reason why these ancient sages are great is because the things they invented greatly promoted social production..."
Zhang Dai frowned and listened to "productivity", "social production", "production efficiency" and other proprietary words that seemed to refer to something but could not be sure of the specific meaning. He listened to the second-hand version of the Australian and Song Dynasties for nearly 10 minutes.
The history of tools of human civilization is also called the history of science and technology. Since Suiren mastered fire, humans have opened up spiritual wisdom, pottery, herbal medicine, planting, and silkworms. Each invention has greatly promoted the development of human civilization and greatly promoted the development of human civilization.
The earth has improved human life. And technology is also constantly advancing, from cave dwellings, to tree nests, to wooden houses, to villages, and finally to ramming earth into walls and burning bricks to build cities, or from "harvesting copper from Shouyang" to smelting
Iron forges steel, and technological advancement relies on the invention of words and the inheritance of knowledge...
Zhang Dai himself is a historian. Although in another time and space he was famous as a gourmet and prose writer, his real work "Shiguishu" is the skeleton of "History of the Ming Dynasty". If classified, his view of history is of course still
The traditional orthodox view of history and the heroic view of history came into contact for the first time with the new concepts indexed by the development of tools and the development of science and technology in the classification of historical materialism. You can imagine how shocked he was. Confucius and Mencius both emphasized "the law precedes the king"
", emphasizing that the present is not as good as the past, so we need to restore the rule of the three generations by "faxian king". As a kind of political correctness, "faxian king" is a kind of political correctness. Although there is something wrong in their hearts, no one dares to challenge it directly. Xunzi actually proposed "faxian king"
", but it does not mean that one generation is stronger than the other, but rather that we first construct in our minds an "ideal king" that has not yet appeared and may exist in future generations, and then requires current people to strengthen their self-cultivation and gradually get closer to this "king"
"Template". In later generations, there were only a few practitioners of "Xunzi" for more than a thousand years, and their views were all different. It can be said to be a "rare heresy", and academic ideas were not widely spread. Today, Zhang Dai is in a medical clinic,
I heard a new view of history with complete logic, detailed narrative, and sufficient argumentation. It not only affirmed the great achievements of the "ancient sages" but also pointed out the path for the continued development of human society.
filled Zhang Dai's brain.
After finishing the narration, Yang Shixiang slowly tasted several cookies, and Zhang Dai finally came to his senses. And this recovery was just a change from a daze state to a subconscious state of seeking communication, turning around to look for someone, facing the person.
Zhang Dai, the only person with whom he could communicate in this room, wanted to talk, but he didn't know what to say. After all, Yang Shixiang was just a peddler of this new historical perspective. Yang Shixiang sighed deeply and spoke to himself.
Continuing: "According to the Australian view, during the Yan and Han dynasties, Zhao Guo in the former Han Dynasty and Zhang Rang in the later Han Dynasty worked as cattle plowers on behalf of the fields, and as overturning carts thirsty for the dead, their merits are in the present and their benefit will be in the future. These two people are the
The great sage of the Han Dynasty..." Compared with the overturning car and Kewu, the original Jueguo is nothing!
After hearing this, Zhang Dai couldn't accept it. Zhao Guo, there are only a few strokes in the history books, let's not talk about it for now; that Zhang Rang was a regular servant! How many years has it been since Wei Zhongxian was overthrown? This eunuch wielded power.
, is regarded by Australians as a great sage of the Later Han Dynasty? Where does this place Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, and Zheng Xuan?
If the three views are not aligned, we cannot have fun together... (To be continued.)
