Ask Sword

Building a swimming pool was only the first step in renovating the mansion. Next, Li Ang reclaimed the garden, refurbished the warehouse, buried sewage pipes underground, and finally went to the West Market, and brought back the previously reserved . Ceramic toilet parts.

Eating the wind, drinking the dew, and convincing the bigu, that is the realm of immortals, at least contemporary monks still need to eat.

After Li Ang assembled the parts, under the curious eyes of Chai Chai and Jia Luo, he connected the toilet to the water tank, and the water poured down when he pressed the button.

Is this the flush toilet?

Chai Chai had a strange expression on his face, and tapped the thin toilet seat lightly with his knuckles, making a crisp sound, It's still white porcelain.

It was made by the old master in Yuhua Palace Kiln.

Li Ang said casually: I failed three times, and it took six hundred strings.

The white porcelain of Yuhua Palace Kiln is lustrous and bright, pure white like creamy fat, but also like ivory. Under the light, the glaze heart faintly presents a peach-like pinkish white.

So expensive?

Both Chai Chai and Jia Luo were a little speechless. Just one toilet can buy two or three bungalows, or four cattle.

After all, they are fired for the first time, and many waste products have been burned out. Moreover, it needs a magician to control the temperature in the kiln to ensure that they are formed in one piece without cracks.

Li Ang looked at the exquisite flush toilet, which is not inferior to that used by the imperial palace, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart.

If an uninformed person sees it, they may think that it is some kind of vase with a novel shape, and put flowers in it - I didn't see that it is connected to the water tank and there is clear water at the bottom, it is a vase.

The case of Suzhou has proved that public toilets can indeed effectively reduce the probability of disease spread. Chang'an City also plans to expand the scale of underground sewage pipes and build toilets in the streets and alleys.

Li Ang said: By then, this kind of toilet should become popular in the homes of rich people.

High-quality porcelain is expensive, let alone such a large piece of porcelain. Even a wealthy family with an annual income of thousands of dollars may not be able to spend hundreds of dollars on a toilet.

Before the price comes down, it is still a luxury that only Zheshe people can afford.

After installing the toilets upstairs and downstairs, Li Ang used various tools to make a refrigerator—driven by Li Liang Talisman, to refrigerate vegetables and fruits.

Freezer - Driven by the Freezing Talisman, freezes meat.

Washing machine - pulsator type bucket, with functions of washing, rinsing, dehydration and so on. It can be directly controlled by mind power, or driven by water charms.

What's this?

Chai Chai pointed to the stickers on the refrigerator (one black and one white, two boys wearing only pants), and asked curiously.

Brother Haier,

Li Ang said casually: A partner group that is as famous as Jinjiao Yinjiao, Shuke Beta, and Phoenix Legend.

Anthracene,

Chai Chai was used to not being able to understand Li Ang's words, so he pointed to the strangely shaped panda-shaped ice cube in the freezer, What about this one?

Bing Dwen Dwen,

Li Ang rummaged through the broken memories of other worlds in his mind, and said uncertainly: It's a mascot doll in the shape of an iron-eating beast. It lives on a snow-capped mountain and likes to throw snowballs at its own feet?

Chai Chai and Jia Luo looked at each other, not quite understanding what it meant, and continued to put the beef and mutton on the trolley into the freezer.

For lunch, I ate hot pot with clear soup. Since Jia Luo is temporarily staying at home, he ate a lot of mutton recently.

In the afternoon, an unexpected visitor came.

Lu Yunan.

The businessman from Montenegro in the north greeted Li Ang with a smile, and handed over a wooden box full of long gold ingots, It's a bit abrupt to visit suddenly, I hope Mr. Li Xiaolang doesn't mind.

It's easy to say,

Li Ang casually handed the wooden box to Chai Chai, who had bright eyes, turned slightly, and took Lu Yunan to the living room to sit down, What's the matter?

Is such that,

Lu Yunan looked back at the courtyard pool and said, Summer is approaching, and I want to buy a small amount of Artemisia annua medicine for my compatriots in the north.

I wonder if Mr. Li Xiaolang can write a letter of introduction.

Yu State attaches great importance to artemisinin, and has set up workshops in Chang'an, Luoyang, Lingnan and other places to produce drugs around the clock.

The vast majority of artemisinin is supplied to the royal family, court officials, doctors in the ward, and the people of Yu State.

A very small amount of artemisinin will be presented to missions of various countries as a national gift.

It is difficult for those aristocrats and wealthy merchants to get a large amount of artemisinin at this time after exhausting their connections.

no problem.

Li Ang nodded. As the inventor of artemisinin, he undoubtedly has this authority. Montenegro is sparsely populated, so not many malaria drugs are used.

At that time in Suzhou, it was Lu Yunan who brought a large amount of tartar, so that Li Ang could produce antimony potassium tartrate, and urgently treated many people in Yu State who were seriously ill with malaria.

He went to the study and took out his personal seal, wrote a letter of introduction, stamped it and handed it to Lu Yunan.

Thank you, Mr. Li Xiaolang,

Lu Yunan breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded sincerely.

Just call me Risheng.

Li Ang waved his hands and asked curiously, Is malaria serious in the northern border?

Um,

Lu Yunan nodded and said: The Black Mountain is located in the frigid zone, and the permafrost is vast, and the rainwater cannot penetrate, forming swamps, silting up fallen leaves and dead trees.

The mosquitoes bred there are huge in size, ferocious and bloodthirsty, and will bite people and animals in groups.

Every year, people die from malaria.

I see.

Li Ang nodded, and asked about the natural features and folk customs of the northern border. It is indeed a place of bitter cold, but there are also a lot of precious resources.

Logs, coal, gold, silver, copper, iron and other minerals, fishery, fresh water, fur

The only problem is that the traffic is bad.

Lu Yunan said: In four months of a year, everything is covered with ice and snow, making it difficult to walk. In the other four months, the ice and snow melt, the land is muddy, and there are swamps everywhere. Let alone a carriage, people will get stuck when walking on it.

Li Ang frowned slightly and asked, Have you never thought about moving?

Nowhere to go.

Lu Yunan smiled wryly: Although the world is big, there is no place for us.

Fengshun Company has many ocean-going ships, but where can it be relocated?

Even Yu State, which has a fanatical desire to expand its territory, has no interest in the bitter cold northern region, and will not spend energy to incorporate it into its territory.

The state of Zhou will not welcome barbarians in the north, and the state of Jing is ruthless.

In Nanzhao and Java in the south, people from the north can do business by boat, but if they really want to live there for a long time, they will definitely not be able to adapt to the local hot and humid climate.

In contrast, the Hundred Thousand Barren Mountains with the same harsh environment, because it is located between the Yu, Jing, and Zhou kingdoms, can actually get more attention.

Let the three countries send troops to garrison, and the caravans are endless,

The State of Yu also sent the children of the Confucian family to build some kind of Confucius Institute there to teach the barren people benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith.

correct,

Lu Yunan took a deep breath, smiled and asked the maid next to her to take out a stack of ancient books, I heard that the Academy used the Garan Sect as the address of the final competition, so I asked someone to collect some information.

Li Ang took the books and found that these were the materials left by the explorers who searched for the secret treasures of the Jialan School in the past, including the historical materials of the Jialan School, the map of Lingtai Mountain, and so on.

Thank you.

Li Ang closed the book and sincerely thanked Lu Yunan. These materials can't be said to be very confidential and valuable, but it definitely took energy and financial resources to collect them all.

It's good to be able to help.

Lu Yunan nodded with a smile. After saying goodbye, she and her maid got into the carriage and left Jinchengfang.

The wheels of the carriage were turning, and the maid looked at the mansion through the curtains, and said softly, Lord Eagle, why is this Mr. Li Xiaolang so pure? Documents with his personal seal can be unimpeded no matter where they are in Yu Country, right?

Don't worry about it. He treats me with sincerity, and I should repay it with my heart.

Lu Yunan shook her head, and the Turkic girl she saw on the second floor of the Jinchengfang mansion came to mind.

turkish

Montenegro has a deep hatred for the Turks. Only by heading west, using bows, arrows, knives and axes, to kill the Turkic people whose hands are stained with Montenegrin blood, can they have a way out.

The Turkic Khan was old and frail, and his younger brothers, sons, and nephews were gradually unable to restrain their ambitions. The prairie is approaching. The time is coming.

Lu Yunan leaned against the window of the carriage, fiddled with a small piece of iron at an angle that the maid could not see.

If Li Ang was also here, he would be able to instantly recognize that the piece of iron with flowing cloud patterns came from the organization that Situ Zhi and Jun Qianzi belonged to - Zhaoming.
