Call of Heroes: A History Only I Know

Chapter 20 Is there really someone born to know it?
Taoist Yu Ji held a flag and carried a bag, and walked quickly on the smooth street.

"This is the market in Pingxiang? It's really lively."

Yu Ji looked at the peddlers hawking around. If in other places, most of these low-level peddlers were sallow and skinny, but the peddlers here were all rosy-faced and strong.

After walking a few steps, Yu Ji saw a house steaming with water, and asked passers-by curiously, "What's the situation with this house? Why is there so much water vapor?"

Passers-by were a little impatient when they were pulled back, but looking at Yu Ji's Taoist robe, his attitude changed a lot in an instant. He explained: "This is the boiling water room."

"What is the boiling water room?" Yu Ji asked curiously.

"The boiled water house is a shop that sells boiled water. For just a few pennies, you can bring a large pot of boiled water home. It is very convenient to eat, drink and wash up." Passers-by patiently explained.

"How much is it? So expensive? It's just boiled water. Why is it so expensive?" Yu Ji couldn't believe it.

"What is this? A flat town, where every inch of land is expensive, and many outsiders yearn for it. Any business can make a lot of money, even if you open a water house, you can make a lot of money." The passer-by said nonchalantly.

Yu Ji gained knowledge, and was a little strange: "Does everyone buy boiled water? The business looks good."

"Most people boil water at home. They don't have firewood, or they don't have time to boil water, so they come here to buy water. Hey, you are a Taoist anyway, why don't you understand this or that?" The passer-by said shaking his head.

"What does it matter if I am a Taoist priest or not?" Yu Ji laughed.

"Because this is stipulated by Taipingdao, Taipingdao advised everyone not to drink raw water. At first, everyone was not used to it, but gradually no one drank raw water." A passer-by said with a smile.

"Why are you not allowed to drink unboiled water?" Yu Ji asked subconsciously.

"Because the doctrine of Taiping Tao says that diseases enter through the mouth, and many diseases are caused by raw water. Whether you drink well water or river water, you must boil it before drinking, so that there will be fewer diseases. Don't tell me, It’s really like this.” A passer-by said with emotion: “After everyone stopped drinking raw water, their health has improved a lot! They rarely get sick!”

"It does make sense." Yu Ji nodded.

"I see that you are an outsider, so let's go shopping with you." The passer-by said with a smile, "A lot of outsiders have come to Pingxiang these days, and many profiteers use the name of Pingxiang to deceive people. Be careful not to be fooled." It is."

"Then Mr. Lao, I don't know how to address him?" Yu Ji hurriedly bowed to thank him.

"Don't dare to be Mr., my name is Zhao Er, you can just call me by my name." Zhao Er said with a smile.

"Thank you." Yu Ji was very interested in this place and wanted to know more about it.

After walking and chatting all the way, Yu Ji suddenly saw a strange shop with people coming and going, carrying bags of things in and out, and the smell of the things made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Yu Ji looked at Zhao Er and asked, "What are you selling over there? Why does it smell so bad?"

Zhao Er replied, "That's a fat shop."

"Fertilizer shop?" Yu Ji was curious: "Do you sell fertilizer?"

"Yes!" Zhao Er nodded, and asked a little proudly, "Do you know how many kinds of fertilizers there are in Pingxiang?"

"How many?"

"I counted it once before, and there are a total of one hundred and forty fifty."

"How could there be so many?" Yu Ji naturally didn't believe it. Fertilizer can fertilize the land, and the farmer's output will be more. The importance is self-evident, but the fertilizer can be counted from left to right, and there are only a dozen kinds. How could there be one hundred and four fifty?
"Haha, I didn't believe there were so many kinds of fertilizers at the beginning, and it was your expression." Zhao Er said with a smile: "In the beginning, everyone's fertilizers were human excrement, domestic animal excrement, and weeds. Plant ash as fertilizer, and..."

"There are manure, silkworm excrement, pupa juice, bone juice, bean dustpan, and river mud, but what else is there?" Yu Ji asked hastily.

"Why do you ask such details? I only know the general idea. I know that there are slag fertilizers, cake fertilizers, soil fertilizers, green manures, and inorganic fertilizers. There are dozens of each of these, adding up to more than 100 types. The fertilizers of this company What they are doing is the business of inorganic fertilizer." Zhao Erdao.

"What is inorganic fertilizer?" Yu Ji couldn't understand. He found himself as if he had come to a new world. He didn't understand this, and he didn't understand that.

Zhao Er took the trouble to explain: "Inorganic is a word created by Taiping Dao. It basically means things without vitality. Inorganic fertilizers include lime, gypsum, brine, sulfur, arsenic, black alum, snail ash, oyster ash, clam ash, oyster ash, and oyster ash." Gray these."

"I see." Yu Ji nodded and asked, "Is this what this store sells?"

"Yes or no, this fertilizer store sells specially processed inorganic fertilizers, the effect is much better than ordinary inorganic fertilizers, and the fertility is many times that of other fertilizers. Although it is more expensive, it is mixed with other fertilizers and used together to improve the effect of fertilizing the land. It's not too good, so the business is very good." Zhao Er said.

"So that's the case, no wonder someone spends money to buy these." Yu Ji nodded, taking these seriously in his heart.

After walking a little further, looking at the strange name of this shop, Yu Ji couldn't help but read out: "Jingkela Fertilizer Shop...the name of this shop is so strange."

"Haha, this is the name chosen by the Taiping Taoist leader himself. He said that things are as precious as gold and can make people full!" Zhao Er laughed.

"So that's the case." Yu Ji couldn't help but sighed: "The founder of the Taiping Dao must be a great man. He knows so much. He is really a rare capable person in the world!"

"That's right, everyone honored him as the great virtuous teacher. This Pingxiang was not what it is now a few years ago. At that time, I couldn't even eat enough. Thanks to the great virtuous teacher and Taipingdao, they came here. It will be peaceful." Speaking of the leader of Taiping Taoism, Zhao Er showed reverence on his face.

"Great virtuous teacher, great virtuous teacher..." Yu Ji read the name and said with admiration: "It's really a man who lives up to his name!"

After shopping around, Yu Ji was completely surprised by the prosperity here.

Many things are far beyond Yu Ji's imagination, and the degree of civilization and intelligence is also very high.

Yu Ji came from the next county, and it was only a hundred or ten miles away, but the changes were so great that he couldn't believe it at all.

This made him even more curious about that great virtuous teacher.

Afterwards, he inquired all the way, found the Taiping Taoist Temple, reported his name to the Taoist boy at the door, and asked to see the great virtuous teacher.

His Yuji name is still very famous in this Taoism, and he was received by a great virtuous teacher.

In the side hall, Yu Ji waited anxiously, and after a while, a young man in Taoist robe came, it was Su Che.

Su Che strode to Yu Ji's side, bowed and said, "Are you the Daoist Yu Ji?"

"Exactly." Yu Ji hurriedly got up to return the salute. Looking at Su Che's handsome face, he asked a little strangely, "Isn't the great virtuous teacher free to see me today?"

"Not really." Su Che shook his head.

"Then why..." Yu Ji hesitated to speak.

"I am a great and virtuous teacher." Su Che said directly.

Yu Ji: "?"

Yu Ji stared blankly at Su Che, his eyes were full of confusion for a moment.

This look probably means: Are you kidding me?

"Little brother, stop joking..." Yu Ji was speechless.

"I'm not joking." Su Che shook his head.

I still remember that in the first week, Su Che stalked and stalked, and finally became Yu Ji's disciple. He had the opportunity to learn art from a teacher, and thus changed his fate against the sky.

However, in the second week, as the lord of Pingxiang, he came to meet Yu Ji under the name of a famous and virtuous teacher.

But Su Che was so young, so Yu Ji couldn't believe it. He stared at Su Che, and he also noticed that this man had an extraordinary demeanor, and the dao rhyme he revealed inadvertently was not something ordinary Taoist boys could have.

"Could it be...is there really someone born to know it?"

Yu Ji couldn't believe it and couldn't help muttering to himself.
