Among the words "look, hear, listen and feel", the word "look" actually also contains some aspects of physiognomy. Tianlai Novelｗｗ . ⒉The face of the middle-aged man in front of me is probably in his late thirties or early forties. His forehead and cheekbones are not prominent, which shows that he has had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child. There are knots between the eyebrows and lines on the forehead, which should be due to excessive worry and depression. ; His hands and feet were steady when he got out of the car, and his posture was relaxed but his waist was stiff when he was walking, indicating that he did not lack exercise but was used to sitting for long periods of time... The key is that this person is by no means a carefree person, and some worries can be put away.
"But Mr. Zhang from Shaoxing?" Yang Shixiang bowed his hand.
"That's the student." Zhang Dai also looked at the rich man with red lips and white teeth in front of him with some suspicion, and also bowed his hand and said: "The student borrowed Mr. Zhao from Sanshui's famous thorn three days ago. Please see the master of Runshi Hall. I don't know - ―”
"Hahahaha" Yang Shixiang suddenly felt an inexplicable joy in his heart: "Wansheng is the owner of Runshitang..."
Uh... Zhang Dai was a little stunned. Is this still possible? Speaking of which, I really wanted to "see the master of Runshitang", but... you should shave your head short!
"It's noon, Mr. Zhang, please come in and talk." Yang Shixiang couldn't help but let Zhang Dai, who was in a dazed state, into Runshi Hall.
Everything else about this flagship store designed by Australians is good, except that it is not good at all - the store design concept of Big World is modern, small in size and compact in structure. Therefore, there is no structure of front shop and back square, and there are no large or small courtyards. If only the store is open for business, this design is actually very good; today it seems cramped to receive customers: there is no suitable private room. Behind the store is either a warehouse or an accounting room, as well as a packaging workshop. Although the "manager's office" has a reception room attached, it only covers an area of more than 20 square meters. According to the standards of modern people, it is not narrow, but it is really not suitable for people like them who came from the "old society" and are used to high halls and halls, and ordering left and right. So after Yang Shixiang asked him to sit down on the sofa, Zhang Dai couldn't help but look around to see this brand-new style of shop.
Only when the clerk put the herbal tea snacks on the coffee table and said goodbye did Zhang Dai regain his composure.
The tea was served in a glass, and was soaked with yellow citrus slices - he had drunk this at Zhao Yingong's place and knew it was called "lemon black tea". Drinking it in summer is the best way to relieve heat and quench thirst. He is a gourmet and is not as taboo about cold food as many people are. What’s more, Australians’ diet is famously clean.
Although he had already drank kvass just now, the ice black tea with thin water droplets on the glass still aroused his appetite, so he picked it up and took a sip. It just feels fresh and pleasant, but too kvassy.
On the plate next to it were a few slices of burnt-yellow snacks, which looked like shortbread, with swirls, but had an indescribable sweet aroma.
This is probably the "cookie". He had heard of this thing's name in Liang Mansion. The official snacks of the Liang family did not have this kind of thing, but the maids and concubines of the family, who had some respectability, sent people to buy this novel Australian snack.
Putting down the cup, he took a closer look at the "Master of Runshitang" and couldn't help but secretly wonder.
"this……"
"The student is the owner of Runshitang. This Runshitang was originally a family of Yang Run's Kaitang in Foshan. It was only after my father's family split up and settled in Qiongya that Runshitang came into being." Yang Shixiang started talking and saw Zhang Dai had no reaction, and then he remembered that he was a scholar from Jiangnan and had no feelings for a century-old restaurant in Guangnan like Yangrun Kaitang. It was all in vain. "After the Australians entered Qiongya, because of the two patent medicines of 'Biwen San' and 'Zhuge Marching Pill' that benefited the people and the world, the shop cooperated with the Australians, and later even formed a partnership. But this Runshitang's The shopkeeper has always been Yang." Yang Shixiang knew what the other party wanted to do and took the initiative to introduce the topic in the direction that the other party was interested in.
"Ashamed, ashamed. I just-" Zhang Dai wanted to directly say that he came directly to the Australians, but felt that it was too abrupt and rude, so he reorganized the cause and effect: "When I was in Jiangnan, there were many things From what I heard, everyone said that Guangli is full of Australian curiosities, as well as delicacies and treasures. There is also the Sanshui scholar Zhao Yingong, who sells Australian books in Hangzhou. He is also proficient in Australian studies. There are many in our society. I associate with him as a good friend and was deeply impressed by him. I then decided to go south. When I said goodbye ten miles away, Mr. Zhao gave me a famous thorn and said that if I need anything, I can ask at the Runshitang store in Guangli. Since Mr. Zhao is willing to spare no effort, I want to Are you acquainted with that Zhao Xiucai? I just don’t know..."
When he asked this question, Zhang Dai probably thought that if Zhao Yingong was indeed a "kun thief", whether he was a real kun or a fake kun, the "Australian boss" of Runshitang was not suitable to meet him. In this way, Dongzhu Yang in front of him is currently the best candidate to meet.
The two chatted casually for a few words. Zhang Dai wanted to inquire about the situation in Lingao. Yang Shixiang had the task of "preaching", so he changed the topic to "Literary Affairs in Lingao".
"...The Australians came to Lingao and made great efforts. Not only did they renovate Molixuan Academy and reorganize the school fields, all the students received money, food, and books to read, but they also established their own Australian schools." Here Yang Shixiang said with a proud face: "My incompetent young son had no hope of becoming a saint, so he was sent to an Australian school." Looking at that arrogant face and the way he was twirling his beard and shaking his head, , Zhang Dai knew that Dr. Yang's youngest son was probably very successful in his studies at Macao University, but Yang Shixiang himself didn't say it out loud, so Zhang Dai was embarrassed and didn't know whether he should compliment him or not.
"What the Australian said was quite interesting. One day, I asked the kid what he had learned in school today. The kid talked a lot about arithmetic, this force, that force, and how the ball rolled. Going down a slope and the like were all nonsense that I couldn't understand. I was tired of hearing this and was about to let him go after slapping my palms a few times, but he added that today he also talked about the Suiren clan, Youchao clan, Huangdi, Emperor Yan, Leizu, Cangjie, etc." Yang Shixiang was so absorbed in what he said that his eyes had lost focus. He naturally picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip of herbal tea before continuing.
"I'm surprised, this Australian also talks about the ancient sages? I want my grandson to explain what the Australians say." At this point, Yang Shixiang first sighed, "Alas", and then Instead of repeating his son's original words, he reorganized and summarized them himself: "These Australians believe that the reason why these ancient sages are great is because their inventions greatly promoted social production..."
Zhang Dai frowned and endured proprietary words like "productivity", "social production", and "production efficiency" that seemed to refer to something but could not be sure of the specific meaning. He listened to the second-hand version of the Australian and Song Dynasties for nearly 10 minutes. The tool history view of human civilization is also called the technological history view. Since Suiren mastered fire, humans have opened up their spiritual wisdom, making pottery, herbal medicine, planting, and mulberry silkworms. Each invention has greatly promoted the development of human civilization and greatly improved human life. And technology is constantly improving, from cave dwellings, to tree nests, to wooden houses, villages, and finally to rammed earth for walls and bricks to build cities, or from "harvesting copper from the sun" to making iron and forging steel. The key is to rely on the understanding of words and the inheritance of knowledge...
Zhang Dai himself is a historian. Although in another time and space he was famous as a gourmet and prose writer, his real work "The Book of the Stone Chamber" is the skeleton of "History of the Ming Dynasty". If we want to classify it, of course his view of history is still the traditional orthodox view of history and the heroic view of history. For the first time, he came into contact with the new concepts indexed by tool exhibition and science and technology exhibition in the classification of historical materialism. You can imagine his shock. . The Confucian scholars of Confucius and Mencius all emphasized that "the law precedes the king" and that the present is not as good as the past, so the law must precede the king in order to restore the rule of the three generations. As a form of political correctness, "Faxianwang" means that no one dares to challenge it head-on even though they feel there is something wrong in their hearts. Xunzi proposed the "Dharma Queen King", but this does not mean that each generation is stronger than the previous generation. Instead, he first constructs an "ideal king" in his mind that has not yet appeared and may exist in later generations, and then requires the current kings to strengthen. Self-cultivation gradually approaches this "king's template". For more than a thousand years in later generations, there were only a few practitioners of "Xunzi", and their views were different. It can be said to be a "rare heresy", and academic ideas were not widely disseminated. Today, in a medical clinic, Zhang Dai heard a new view of history with complete logic, detailed narratives, and sufficient arguments. It not only affirmed the great achievements of the "ancient sages" but also pointed out the path for the continued development of human society. Hearing this, the emotion of "I will die at night" filled Zhang Dai's mind at this moment.
After finishing the narration, Yang Shixiang slowly tasted several cookies, and Zhang Dai regained his composure. And when he came to his senses, he just changed from a dull state to subconsciously seeking communication and turning around to find someone. Facing the only person with whom he could communicate, Zhang Dai wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say - after all Yang Shixiang is just a peddler of this new historical perspective. Yang Shixiang sighed deeply and continued: "According to the Australian view, during the Yan and Han dynasties, Zhao Guo in the former Han Dynasty and Zhang Rang in the later Han Dynasty were responsible for plowing cattle on behalf of the fields, and those who overturned carts and thirsted for crows. , The merit lies in the present time, and the benefit lies in the future. These two people are the great sages of the two Han Dynasties..." Compared with Chuanchai and Kewu, the original Jujue is nothing!
After hearing this, Zhang Dai couldn't accept it. Zhao Guo, there are only a few strokes in the history books, let’s not talk about it for the moment; that Zhang Rang was an ordinary servant! How many years has it been since Wei Zhongxian was overthrown today? This eunuch who wields power is actually regarded by Australians as a great sage of the Later Han Dynasty? Where does this place the sages Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, and Zheng Xuan?
If the three views are not aligned, we cannot have fun together...
