Chapter 254 Is This the Kingdom of Heaven?

The narrow environment, uneasy social background, and the attribute of being ruled by the Central Plains have created the extreme inferiority and conceit of this group of people.

They desperately want to be respected, and think that their own things are the best things in the world.

To this end, they compile lies, and to this end, they resort to means.

This is true in this era, and it is also true in modern times.

Distorted personality, contradictory individual.

This is the tragedy of a small country with few people.

Even the incompetent Li Sun-shin was still highly praised by them.

If someone like Li Sunshin was placed on Daming's side, he would be a low-level military officer.

Even Li Rusong or Qi Jiguang, who made great military exploits in the late Ming Dynasty, their achievements are not enough in the long river of history, let alone Li Sunshin.

To put it bluntly, he is a military officer who is not of the highest rank, not even a general.

Even so, in North Korea, he is still a household name.

"Lee Sun-shin, I know this person, it's not that I said it harshly, this person's ability is just not good, if he really had the ability, Wa Kingdom would not have attacked North Korea back then!

Compared with Huo Huoqi Wei Qing, he was a bully, and compared with Yue Wumu, he was even worse. "

The steward continued.

What I said actually didn't mean to look down on it, it was just stating a fact.

After all, if you want to be respected, you must have a good record.

There is nothing, just lying there, how can it be convincing?

Not to mention Li Sunshin, looking at the whole history, how many people can stand shoulder to shoulder with Wei Huo?How many people can stand shoulder to shoulder with Yue Wumu?
Seal the wolf to live in Xu, go straight to Longcheng, and defeat Tiefutu.

Which of these achievements does not shock the past and present?

North Korea has been tossing about that palm-sized place from ancient times to the present.It's too normal to be looked down upon.

The follower behind Song Shilie was choked by these words and didn't know what to say.

The pig's liver-like complexion was extremely ugly.

This is the tragedy of a small country, even if it is the best thing in the country, in the eyes of a big country, that is the same thing.

The steward put the big thick book in his hand on the table and looked at the few of them.

"Okay, the room has been chosen for you, follow me upstairs!"

With that said, the steward took out a few keys from the counter and walked upstairs.

Seeing the back of the steward leaving, Song Shilie adjusted his mentality, and then looked at the followers behind him.

The language scolded fiercely: "Remember, from now on, those words just now are not allowed to be said in front of outsiders. The purpose of our trip is to surrender to Daqin. If your nonsense leads to this matter Fail, do you think the king will kill you?"

Song Shilie is sober, for him, the fact is like this, if it's not as good as it is, it's not as good as it is.

It doesn't matter if you swear a few words behind your back, since outsiders can't hear it anyway.

But if you scolded in the open and were heard, that would be a problem.

If because of their scolding, the matter of professing the vassal failed, it would put North Korea in a dangerous situation.

You know, the Japanese pirates from Gyeongsang-do are attacking Gyeongju. If you don't find a father for yourself, who will help you resist Jiannu?
With this in mind, Song Shilie followed the steward with his followers and walked upstairs.

The stairway was gloomy, without much light.

The steward's hand pressed down on a pull rope switch next to the corridor.

"Click!"

There was a crisp sound, and the corridor was filled with light, as if it was outside.

At the top of the corridor, a light bulb hangs there, quietly shining light into the corridor.

This is the incandescent lamp that Sun Jie bought from Hyundai.

This kind of light bulb is widely used, high power can also be used for heating, the price is cheap, the cost is low, and there is no complicated circuit structure, just need to be connected to the circuit.

Now, the power plants outside the city have entered the stage of power generation, and the electricity they generate is given priority to supply various government agencies and factory facilities, and this posthouse is also connected to electricity.

The light switch is an old-fashioned pull rope switch that Sun Jie bought from Hyundai.

This switch has a simple structure, is convenient to operate, and is also very simple to install, and can be installed without a professional electrician.

Mainly cheap.

It is also easy to repair if something goes wrong.

In modern times, this kind of switch plus electric lights is just a thing for roadside stalls.

But in Song Shilie's eyes, it was like seeing a miracle.

The lamp above the corridor didn't look like an oil lamp, and there was no flickering candlelight, so it was a bit too quiet.

Song Shilie saw it, the steward pulled a rope on the wall of the corridor just now, and then the light turned on.

No one went up to light the lamps, everything was so natural.

"Well, what's going on here? How did this light turn on? And this light, I've never seen it before!" Song Shilie said blankly.

The steward turned around and said with a smile: "This thing is called an electric light, haven't you seen it?
Tell you, this thing is an ordinary thing in our place. Although this kind of thing has not been popularized in the whole Chang'an yet, I believe it will not be long! "

In Song Shilie's mind, the word "electric light" kept echoing.

This is a word he has never seen before. After reading the Confucian classics for so many years, he couldn't find it in his mind. What is it?

After the steward finished speaking, he went up.

Song Shilie hastily followed.

The follower who was disobedient before walked in the end, and quietly came to the rope.

After the person disappeared down the corridor, he pulled the rope.

"Click!"

With a crisp sound, the lights in the corridor went out.

Pull it again, and with a clicking sound, the light will turn on.

His eyes instantly became rounded, looking unbelievable.

"Is this a miracle? Is this a miracle?"

He didn't know what was going on here, and thought it was a miracle.

Under this mentality, he kept pulling the rope.

"Click, click, click!"

It kept ringing in the corridor.

Feeling inferior again, he slammed his fist on the wall next to him, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Why don't I have such a good thing in North Korea? Why, why!"

Unfortunately, after all, he was awakened by the cold reality.

No matter how dissatisfied you are in your heart, there is only dissatisfaction.

After fiddling with it for a long time, I remembered the business and hurried to catch up.

Fortunately, he was fast enough, and the managers were slow, so he finally caught up with him on the sixth floor.

The physical fitness is also good enough. I went up to the sixth floor in one breath, and I didn't catch my breath.

"Your room is on the seventh floor. There are two rooms. I'll take you inside to have a look!"

The steward took the two keys and came to the seventh floor.

The building regulations are similar to those of modern apartments.

A large flat floor with several suites lined up.

Go to the seventh floor and turn on the corridor lights.

Light instantly filled the entire corridor.

The steward took them to stop at 704 and 705.

"704 is your room. I'll take you in and have a look. By the way, I'll introduce how some things in the room are used!"

The steward looked at Song Shilie, and inserted the key into the lock.

Song Shilie felt a little dissatisfied, you look down on people too much, don't you?
The door is an iron door, and the sound insulation effect is very good.

Song Shilie looked at the door in front of him, shook his head, and put the thought behind him.

The mood couldn't help but began to agitate.

The place where he lived before was just a small courtyard in Seoul.

It looks a bit luxurious, but the tallest is just a two-story building.

The ancients had an almost morbid obsession with height.

In many cases, high height means high status.

High, symbolizing a lot, is a symbol of status and identity.

Now that I can live in such a high place, my mood is naturally agitated.

However, he still has a question deep in his heart.

I am an envoy of a vassal state, living in such a high place, is it against the rules of etiquette?

In modern times, in most cases, living in a high level means that the economic situation is not very good.

Rich people basically live in detached villas.The richer ones are Chinese courtyard houses.

The higher the land utilization rate of the building, the lower the price.

The lower the land utilization rate of the building, the higher the price.

On the same piece of land, if a courtyard house is built, it may only accommodate seven or eight people. If a building is built, there will be too many people.

But in this day and age, the situation is reversed.

Due to the limitations of technology and craft materials, the buildings of this era are basically not high.

In this environment, height becomes an advantage.

When Song Shilie thought that he lived higher than Sun Jie, he murmured in his heart.

If he used this reason to kill himself in the future, who should he turn to for reasoning?
"Well, let me ask, is it against etiquette that I live in such a high place?!"

Song Shilie asked cautiously.

The steward turned around and said: "What kind of etiquette is not etiquette? This is where you live. Chang'an City is very expensive. It is not far from the imperial palace, and the land price is even more expensive. If you don't build it higher, how can you live?" How many people can it accommodate?"

After explaining, he pushed the door open with force.

Bright, tidy rooms greet you.

Similar to those modern apartments, the first thing that catches the eye is a spacious and sunny apartment, facing south, with a huge French window at the end of the living room.

Open the floor-to-ceiling windows, and you will see a huge balcony. Standing here, you can overlook the entire Chang'an City.

The walls are whitewashed with lime, as white as jade.

There are several tables and chairs inside, arranged according to the arrangement of this era.

There are a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and a few potted evergreen potted plants are placed in the corner, full of greenery.

On both sides of the living room are the bedroom, study, toilet and bathroom.

Song Shilie stood at the door, staring blankly at the living room in front of him, as if he was stupid.

"This, this, this, can this house be built like this? Can it be built like this?!"

His lips were trembling constantly, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.

The entourage behind him also looked like this.

The deep inferiority complex in my heart rose again.

The steward wouldn't care about their affairs, he said, and walked to the bathroom.

Pushing open the door of the bathroom, he pointed to the ceramic toilet inside, and said, "This thing is called an automatic flush toilet. After you're done using it, press the switch and it will automatically flush water!"

With that said, the steward pressed the switch of the toilet tank.

Crashing, accompanied by a stream of water, the water in the toilet entered the sewage pipe.

Song Shilie's eyes were waiting, he looked at the immaculate white toilet in front of him, and didn't know what to say.

It's ceramic!
It's ceramic!
Daqin is really rich, and the toilets where he shits are all made of ceramics.

The key is that this ceramic is more clean and flawless than the bowl the king eats in.

Throughout North Korea, there are still many people who have pottery bowls at home, and they can't afford porcelain bowls at all.

But in Daqin Chang'an, the places where people shit are all made of ceramics.

If the steward hadn't told him what this thing was for, he really wouldn't have figured it out.

How could the steward care about Song Shilie's shock?

After the introduction, he pointed to the sink beside him and said, "This is the sink, where you can do your daily washing. This is tap water, just unscrew it and there will be water!"

With that said, the steward turned on the tap.

Pure tap water flows continuously from the faucet.

Song Shilie looked at the sink.

While marveling at the power of the running water and the preciousness of the ceramic sink, his eyes were attracted by the vanity mirror on the sink.

This is a huge mirror, which can clearly see half of his body, with all the hairs on it.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he cried.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

Tears flowed down rustlingly, crying was called pity, and that was called grief.

To put it bluntly, the toilet is not technically demanding.

Sun Jie brought the entire production process here. At present, almost every household in Chang'an City uses toilets.

The craftsmanship of the faucet is not high, and it can be made by casting.

Under the city of Chang'an, dense sewage pipes were also built.

These sewage pipes will be concentrated outside the city for unified treatment.

Feces and daily garbage are high-quality fertilizers that will be composted and sold to the surrounding people.

At present, the water supply in Chang'an City has been changed to tap water.

Tap water pipes spread throughout Chang'an City, and the pressure equipment for water supply was a steam engine.

This thing is simple in structure and durable in leather.

Although the power is not very good, it is enough.

Sewage drainage and water supply in a city is a university question, and it cannot be solved by Sun Jie with a slap on the head.

In order to improve the drainage and water supply of Chang'an City, he deliberately built the current layout and structure of Chang'an City through CAD or various software, and then spent a lot of money to find professional talents at home and abroad to design.

Urban water supply and drainage, there is a special major in the university called "water supply and drainage".

Therefore, the water supply and drainage systems in Chang'an City are reliable and safe.

Convenient water supply and drainage will bring many benefits to Chang'an City.

Song Shilie didn't know the word "inferiority" before.

Because, in North Korea, he is a high-ranking adult, a high-ranking master.

He is well-clothed and well-fed, he is graceful and luxurious, and he holds great power.

But after arriving in Chang'an, he suddenly found that there was no difference between himself and the tenants in his family.

At this time, he is the tenant.
