The late Ming Dynasty in the living room

Chapter 110 The fairy with a foreign nose is so stingy

People like Lao Liu simply think that the Tianhe water is precious, and it seems a bit "wasteful" to use it to drive waterwheels and irrigate farmland.

Even if they are the ones who benefit, they feel deeply uneasy about it.

Empress Zhang and Sun Chuanting knew better.

They are all from the capital. At this time, the big-nosed foreigners in the capital are much older.

In order to curry favor with them (either to preach or sell arms), those big-nosed people know almost everything about things on earth and in heaven.

For example, there was an immortal named Pu (Prometheus) over there. He stole a handful of heavenly fire from the sky and brought it down to earth. After the incident was exposed, other gods united and gave him the most severe punishment. !

The immortal surnamed Pu was chained to a cliff. He could never break free and he could never sleep.

There is also a condor that pecks at his liver every day. The liver is eaten during the day, but it will grow back at night... It sounds weird.

It can be seen that things in heaven cannot be taken casually to the mortal world.

Previously, Empress Pan had given food and money. After all, this was the son of a god living in the mortal world. The mother gave her son some food, while other gods could turn a blind eye.

After all, Pan Niangniang has a high status in the fairy world, and no one dares to offend her easily.

But now Pan Niangniang directly sent down a huge Tianhe, flowing in the mortal world day and night. This... no matter what, it's a bit unreasonable, right?

Think about what happened to the immortal surnamed Pu. If Pan Niangniang received a similar punishment, how would Fang Shenzi deal with it?

There are also those who have benefited, mortals. A noble god has been blamed for helping these mortals. Putting aside everything else, the mental torture alone is unbearable!

In short, people like Lao Liu and Queen Zhang were worried, and their previous joyful mood was gone.

Fang Yu was speechless after hearing this. These people are really good at making connections.

Fang Yu comforted Queen Zhang and said: "In the past, other... gods might have opinions. Now each house has its own water meter. The other gods will not care about how the water is used at home, and they can't control it at all. As for the river water today, they can't. It’s not expensive. There are subsidies in the school, so at least it’s much cheaper than in other communities.”

The "Xiehe Community" where Fang Yu and Teacher Pan live is actually the teachers' building built by the school itself (only the primary school and junior high school). When Fang Yu was young, the water and electricity in the teachers' building were collectively supplied and shared equally. of.

Centralized supply brings about a lot of bad things, and the "fairies" often quarrel about this.

For example, a teacher's relative opened a dark Internet cafe outside (with a total of six computers). After being reported and shut down, it was discovered that the power supply of the Internet cafe was taken from the teacher's building.

Another example is that a foreman secretly gave a few packs of cigarettes to the doorman, and then pulled out a large water pipe from the teachers' building. Water for the construction site and all the workers' water came out from here. It took more than ten days for anyone to find out.

As for daily quarrels, accusing someone of not turning off the lights at night or turning off the faucet when going out happens every month or every day.

These troubles not only caused trouble in the school, but also led young teacher Pan to sit-ins at the Education Bureau several times.

The school leaders were so annoyed by this that they finally reluctantly spent a sum of money to start "commercial transformation"... In short, independent water meters are now installed in every household, and the water fee is 1.8 yuan per ton. (The water company charges 2.8 yuan per ton, and the school subsidizes 1 yuan)

Now, how Teacher Pan uses water is completely her own business. Let alone the Juma River, even if Teacher Pan covers all the water from the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the Nile River, and the Amazon River, other "gods" will have no objection at all.

In order to dispel their worries, Fang Yu explained in detail, but unfortunately these Ming Dynasty people didn't understand anything. However, no one wanted to expose their "ignorance" in front of Fang Shenzi, so Queen Zhang nodded repeatedly, and Sun Chuanting also touched his beard, with an "I see" smile on his face.

Although I couldn’t understand the specifics, Fang Shenzi’s conclusion on this matter was clear and unmistakable - other gods would not care about it and could not control it!

In their opinion, either Pan Niangniang's status is too high and other gods dare not take care of her.

Or... our Eastern Chinese gods have better magic and have more treasures. In fact, the small amount of Tianhe water is not particularly important to them.

Unlike the big-nosed gods in the West, they can pinch and pick at anything!

Sun Chuanting remembered that before he left Beijing, several groups of Francons (collectively known as Spain and Portugal) and red-haired people (Dutch people) came to sell matchlock guns. Comparable appearance.

There is water and soil on one side, humans on the other side, mortals on the other side and gods. Their mortals all have this kind of nature. How can a god be so generous?

The more Sun Chuanting thought about it, the more it made sense.

Thinking back to when I was in the Swamp Prison, Tang Ruowang (a missionary from Cologne, Germany) and others sneaked in to preach to me again and again (I don’t know how they got in?), and I couldn’t help but feel some contempt in my heart.

After the group returned to Xincheng, Sun Chuanting took the initiative to invite Yan Xiucai and Lao Liu - "I would like to invite the two principals to the vice principal's office to discuss important matters."

This time he went to Laishui County firstly for the pre-opening of schools, and secondly for firearms.

The third thing... of course is to reconcile with Yan Xiucai. This is what he cares about most now!

The Maoshan Guards are recruiting more and more new soldiers, and the amount of silver and grain they pay every day is like running water.

It's not enough for him to look through his account books every day. He's also always worried that someone under his command will take advantage of transportation and embezzle someone's money and food. This is absolutely intolerable! (I could bear it before, but there was nothing I could do if I couldn’t bear it...)

So now when he gets a chance, he wants to reconcile the accounts with Yan Xiucai. After all, Yan Xiucai's account is here, otherwise he would always be worried about things and would not be able to rest at ease.

Fang Yu took advantage of the time before Teacher Pan went to school, so he went back to his room and turned on the intercom.

Fang Yu said that Pan Niangniang showed off her magical power today, and his son was deeply impressed by Pan Niangniang's supreme magical power.

And the Tianhe River is extremely majestic. The Angel Falls in Venezuela is completely the younger brother, but it has such a "few shortcomings" - it is too noisy. Over time, thousands of people will be born along the Juma River. Disabled people...Fang Yu said this.

In fact, for Sun Chuanting and others and the Ming court, compared with the huge benefits brought by the Tianhe water, the fact that the guards and some villagers by the river might be deafened was actually "insignificant".

Even if they knew the whole story, they would never be dissatisfied with Pan Niangniang and Fang Shenzi. Anyway, those guards were scum in fighting, and those villagers... can have food, and who cares whether they are deaf or not? ?

And being deaf doesn’t affect them from handing in autumn gifts, right?
