Halo appears again in the isolation room of the underground base.
"Everyone is on alert. No shots are allowed without my order." Battalion Commander Sima shouted loudly through the communication equipment.
"No need to be alert, it's me." Gao Dazhuang took the lead and walked out of the circle of light, followed by other members of the special team and Zhao Yuanyan and others.
"This is really another world. What was it that passed by just now? Light? Or fog?" Zhao Yuanyan looked at the scene around him and then looked back at the aperture.
"This general? Can we go back to the Song Dynasty?" Zhao Yuanyan looked at Gao Dazhuang and asked.
"It can be turned on once a month, so you can stay here for now." Gao Dazhuang began to take off the camera equipment on his helmet. "Water will spray out to disinfect us in a while. Please don't panic."
"Disinfection, what is disinfection? Am I poisoned?" Zhao Yuanyan panicked.
"It's not that you are poisoned, but it's a safety measure." He Lu said, "They will spray water on you. After spraying the water, they will take you to bathe and change clothes. The same is true for us."
"You may have lice or something on your body, so I need to give you a bath." Tian Guo interjected.
"Oh, that's it." Zhao Yuanyan said that he understood everything.
"Huyan, no matter what happens in a while, don't panic." Zhao Yuanyan looked at Huyan Bixing and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your orders." Huyan Bixing replied.
"Start disinfection." The loudspeaker in the isolation room commanded, and water began to spray in the isolation room, drenching everyone.
"Female soldier, follow me." An Ran led the female soldier from the passage on the right to the female soldier's bathroom.
"King Zhou, please take your people and go with us." Gao Dazhuang said to Zhao Yuanyan.
"Is this disinfection?" Zhao Yuanyan asked Gao Dazhuang when he saw that everyone looked like a drowned rat.
"This is the first step, there are other steps later." Shi Dafan said, "We are going to the bathroom now."
"Bathroom, can you sell perfume?" Zhao Yuanyan asked.
What is a perfume shop? It is an ancient public bathhouse. After Buddhism was introduced to China during the Eastern Han Dynasty, it also brought corresponding bathing customs. The "Hothouse Bathing Monks Sutra" translated by An Shigao of the Eastern Han Dynasty stated that Buddha Sakyamuni advocated bathing and believed that bathing properly could eliminate disasters: "Seven diseases will be removed and seven blessings will be obtained." Offering baths to monks is also a kind of merit, which is called "The lady lived a decent life and was respected by others. Her body was always pure, so she washed the monks..." Therefore, every temple in ancient China has a "bathhouse" for monks to bathe collectively.
It is generally believed that public bathrooms began to become real "public bathrooms" in the Northern Song Dynasty. In other words, starting from the Northern Song Dynasty, it became a custom for ordinary people to take a bath in the bathhouse in winter. In the Song Dynasty, Bianliang, the capital city, had the largest number of public bathhouses, which were called "bathing halls".
During the Northern Song Dynasty, it was very popular to open bathrooms in the capital, commonly known as "bathrooms" and also known as "perfume shops".
That's why Zhao Yuanyan talks about bathrooms, but also the perfume business, because in the Northern Song Dynasty, bathrooms were known as "perfume shops".
"Yes." "However, we need to change clothes. We can no longer wear these clothes. They must be destroyed." Shi Dafan didn't know what a perfume shop was, but he understood what Zhao Yuanyan meant. "However, we need to change clothes. These clothes can no longer be worn and must be destroyed."
Zhao Yuanyan nodded in agreement and led the men to follow the male soldier to the bathroom.
When we got to the bathroom, we had to take off our clothes.
I saw that Zhao Yuanyan Huyan Bixing and several of his imperial guards were all beautifully embroidered. Zhao Yuanyan was all embroidered with flowers and birds, from his back to his chest, there was a large area of birds and flowers. Looking at Huyan Bixing's face, there is a tattoo on the face of "Killing Thieves with a Heart", behind the ears is "Forgetting Home and Country when Going Out, Forgetting Death in Battle", on the back is "Bashan Dragon Coming Out of the Water", on the front is "Five Ghosts Capturing the Dragon". And those few forbidden soldiers were covered with embroidery from the hips down and from the ankles up.
He made a bunch of male soldiers look stupid.
Zhao Yuanyan showed off the tattoos on his body, "Everyone, what do you think of my tattoos?"
Several people from the Northern Song Dynasty saw it and couldn't stop praising him.
The male soldiers couldn't help but be speechless and amazed when they saw it. Those tattoos are very artistic even in modern times.
"Why don't you have any tattoos on your body?" Zhao Yuanyan smelled it when he saw that the male soldiers had no tattoos.
"We soldiers are not allowed to have tattoos." Gao Dazhuang explained, "Common people can get tattoos, but soldiers cannot."
"Why is this? Aren't you afraid of soldiers escaping?" Huyan Bixing asked.
"Why are you running away? It's honorable to serve as a soldier to protect your family and the country." Zheng Sanpao replied, "Many people in our country want to be soldiers, but they can't."
"When we reach the age of 18, we must register for military service and undergo a physical examination. If we pass, we will serve as conscripts for two years." Qiang Xiaowei pointed at Zhuang Yan and said, "After two years, we can sign a labor contract from conscripts to volunteers." , Xiaozhuang is."
Zhao Yuanyan breathed in the cold air, "This is the method of Qin and Han Dynasties."
"You also want to fight in heaven?" Zhao Yuanyan asked.
"Our place is not heaven, but in your eyes, it can still be regarded as heaven." Xiaozhuang led Zhao Yuanyan and others into the bath for a soak. "This is your world a thousand years from now. As for war, there has been no war for twenty years." There’s a war.”
"There has been no war for twenty years." Zhao Yuanyan sighed, "How much are the soldiers' salaries? Is there any rebellion?"
"How could there be a rebellion? No, in terms of salary, I have several thousand a month, which is about the same as an ordinary person's monthly salary. Anyway, the food and accommodation for us soldiers are paid for by the state." Zhuang Yan replied.
"What's your rice price?" Zhao Yuanyan asked.
"Rice costs less than two yuan per catty." Xiaozhuang thought for a moment and replied, "I'm not sure, after all, I don't buy rice."
"How many soldiers and horses do you have? What's the population?" Zhao Yuanyan asked a few questions without looking, but in his mind he had already started to compare this world with the Song Dynasty.
First, although Zhao Yuanyan did not know how many soldiers and horses there were, he could tell from Xiaozhuang that they should be in service like those in Qin and Han Dynasties. This shows that there were many soldiers and horses.
Second, how much is the salary? If you compare the price of rice, you will know how the salary here compares with that of the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, the price of rice was 600 to 700 yuan and you could buy one stone of rice. In the Song Dynasty, one pound of rice was 640 grams, and one stone was equal to 640 grams. 92.5 Song Jin (Volume 3 of Shen Kuo's Mengxi Bi Tan, "For ordinary stones, ninety-two and a half kilograms are used as the standard, which is the Han scale of three hundred and forty-one kilograms"). Therefore, one stone of rice weighs 59,200 grams, or 59.2 kilograms. The difference in salary can be calculated at six to seven hundred cents per stone.
Third, whether there are wars and rebellions. In ancient times, there were wars or rebellions almost every year. It was just a difference in size. If there were none, it meant that the country was strong and domestically stable.
The last soldiers, horses and population were the cornerstone and heritage of a country in ancient times.
Xiaozhuang's words made Zhao Yuanyan jump out of the water, while Huyan Bixing sank to the bottom of the water, his feet weak with fear.
Xiaozhuang only said, "The army must be several million, and the population is 1.2 billion. We just counted it."
