"Where did this thing come from?"

Yao Ji was very curious about the origin of this thing. Looking at the Latin letters and Arabic numerals on the telescope shell, he could guess that it was definitely not produced by a workshop in the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Highness, the German Tang Ruowang brought him from Europe!"

Yang Jinchao just painted a picture. He himself didn't know where Europa and Germany were.

"Oh I got it!"

It's probably German, but it's definitely not a Carl Zeiss lens. Uncle Tang probably wouldn't have brought it all the way from the Netherlands.

The telescope is said to have been invented by a Dutchman named Hans Liphoe, and the official name telescope came from a proposal by the Greek mathematician Demisiani.

After this thing was invented, it was quickly applied to the military field and showed great value, because the target can be found an hour or two ahead of the enemy at sea.

In 1619, Deng Yuhan brought the first telescope to the Ming Dynasty. He was also a fellow villager of Tang Warlock, twenty years ago.

If you have time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you should meet Warlock Tang. Yaoji can be sure that this guy is still alive, because the picture that impressed him the most is his portrait wearing the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty...

"Yes, very clear!"

The quality of the imported goods is still good, not as good as the military telescopes of later generations, but at least it can observe distant scenery much better than the naked eye. The telescopes available to the court were either German goods brought by sorcerers or Portuguese goods imported from the Francois. If something belonging to the hostile Netherlands appears, most likely it was stolen by Zheng Laofi (Zheng Chenggong’s father).

There were no skyscrapers at this time, and the second floor would be considered a tall building. If the restaurant had three or four floors, it would be even more impressive. Since Chinese buildings were mainly made of wood, it was impossible to build very high floors unless masonry structures were used instead.

"Um……"

Yaoji finally realized what it was like to be on top of the mountain and see Pingmin Cave. This feeling was indeed sour and refreshing.

While I was taking in my thoughts, I suddenly discovered that there was a small hill, or rather a hill, far away.

I don’t seem to remember any other famous mountains in the capital apart from Jingshan. Could it be that I remembered it wrong?

"Jinchao, what kind of mountain is that?"

Really unable to guess, Yao Ji could only call the locals around him to explain. Even if he had not been out of the palace a few times, he would still know more than himself.

Yang Jin looked in the direction of the prince's finger and said to himself: Damn, if I explain this to the prince, how can I still get it? The dinner must be difficult to swallow.

"...Do you still want to disobey me?"

Seeing a slave still hesitating and thinking about it, Yaoji felt a little unhappy.

"This servant must never dare to tell you, Your Highness, that is... auspicious!"

This was a word that Yang Jinchao came up with in a hurry, hoping that he could fool him, and it was not considered as a deliberate attempt to deceive the emperor, because it was really difficult to tell his real name.

"Xiangrui? Is that thing alive?"

Yaoji was even more puzzled. What kind of liar was pretending to be a ghost and charging people arbitrarily without first asking me if I agreed.

"Your Highness doesn't know something, that is... Gongshan!"

Yang Jinchao had no choice but to change his words, hoping that this time the prince could understand the mystery.

"Gongshan?"

What about Mother Mountain and Yuanyang Mountain? Yaoji had no choice but to pick up the telescope and take a look, but the distance was too far and he couldn't see clearly, and the target was extremely blurry.

"De...Gong!"

This is Yang Jinchao's final explanation of that thing. If he explains it further, the truth will be revealed.

"Um!"

Now Yao Ji finally understood that it was just a dung heap! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

With so many people living in the capital, tons of artificial fertilizer are produced every day.

If it is too late to deal with it, the consequences will be really unimaginable.

It is said that during the Jiajing period, the outer city was built, but after the repairs were completed, it was discovered that the sewers were forgotten...

My grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather is really good at cheating on his grandson!

Xie Zhaozhe, a scholar in the late Ming Dynasty, once wrote his own sentiments in a small notebook: The residences in the capital are cramped and there is no room, the market is full of excrement, people from all over the world are crowded, and there are many flies (small mosquitoes) in the bustling place. In the hot summer, life is almost impossible.

No matter how Xie Daguan managed to survive, Yaoji has given up the idea of ​​going out incognito for a private visit. I wonder if those colleagues who wore clothes from the late Ming Dynasty paid attention to their feet when they wandered out of the city. Anyway, they would have to step on them whether they stayed or not. superior.

Confucius said: It is built by day and built by night. How many "landmines" are there? Every nook and cranny of the horns is covered, so it’s hard to guard against it~!

Fortunately, Meishan is considered a royal garden, otherwise it would be everywhere. Once I step on it, I will let those non-famous "landmine manufacturers" know what it means to grow up eating shit!

When he thinks of the "Xiang Mountain" that appears in the telescope, Yaoji feels that his waist is weak, his limbs are weak, and his body is hollowed out...

Most of the plague that broke out in the capital originated from this. If these "evil flies" are not eliminated, I and my beautiful mother will hit the jackpot sooner or later. Therefore, rectification must be carried out immediately without delay!

It is said that for five thousand years, by the time the blame-shifting father ascended the throne, a complete industrial chain for Xiang was finally formed.

So, if you are weak, even Xiang will bully you...

The excrement is purchased by the dung husband and sold to the dung dealer. Behind the dung dealer is a more powerful dung valve, with a clear hierarchy that cannot be surpassed.

Xiang, for example, is particularly popular because people eat well, so Xiang is rich in nutrients.

Every year, manure dealers come to your door and sign a contract with them, and you get rebates and bonuses!

In comparison, ordinary people's poop is worthless. Not only can't they make money, but they also have to give it to the dung collectors during the holidays, otherwise they won't come to dig out your poor dung. If you are reluctant to spend money, you can only carry the bucket to a fixed location to dump it, or pour it directly outside the door...

If there are one million residents in the capital, and there is one dung bearer for every 1,000 people, there will be as many as 1,000 dung bearers. However, this ratio is also very low, so the actual number of dung bearers in the capital should be more than estimated. . This is really an armed group that cannot be underestimated. If they stop work and business, the people will not be able to survive.

TFBoyS——Excellent strength, its reputation is definitely not in vain!

If you calculate it this way, my prince's cock is also very valuable, and it is still a boy's cock!

I didn’t know that I was exchanged for money by that lustful eunuch. What an unforgivable crime!

If someone could read "Reflections on Traveling to Hongshan" written by Prince Edward, he would probably save three meals.

"Enter the court and tell people to inform all the large auspicious merchants in the capital. Tomorrow... at 17:00, you will be waiting in the outer court for my summons! Whoever dares not to come will no longer have to do business in the capital!"

It's okay for you to make money in the capital, even if you don't pay taxes, but it's really unacceptable to make money without paying taxes and at the same time make the sanitation environment in the capital so dirty and messy.

If the braids were to besiege the city and attack, the officers and soldiers defending the city would have to endure the smell of flying at the foot of the city wall. They would be attacked from both sides and attacked from both sides. This would have a huge impact on the morale of the troops, and this problem must be solved immediately.

Yao Ji can guess with his heels that under the city wall is definitely the key and comfortable place for everyone.

Yang Jinchao didn't dare to say anything after agreeing. "Da Xiangrui" had just disgusted the prince. It would be strange if he didn't get scolded for mentioning dinner at this juncture. It's better to wait until the prince has an appetite. .

The scenery here is nice, accompanied by the singing of warblers and swallows. Yaoji planned to dine here, but he had promised to go to Kunning Palace to eat with his mother and others. It was too troublesome for them to come over, so he had to go back by himself. .

Every family has its own problems. I wonder if the beautiful mother is still worried about the national war. Her husband has become a vegetative state, and her father has been demoted to a commoner. It's true that misfortunes never come singly.

Alas!

After other time travelers come over, the scenery is endless and they can swim in fancy ways.

Within three days of arriving in Ming Dynasty, I became the chief shit shoveler of the capital!

"Brother Imperial, Brother Imperial, what are you having for dinner?"

When Yao Ji came back from Hongshan, before he could reach Kunning Palace, a "female assassin" suddenly jumped out from the corner. She was Princess Changping who had been waiting here for a long time.

The guards did not make any defensive moves, because they had almost all seen this little beauty, so instead of blocking her, they instinctively found a way to let the other party approach the prince.

"Why are you here?"

Yaoji was startled a little and cursed in his heart.

What's for dinner? It seems like you should ask the imperial chef this question, right?

I am a prince, not a cook. If this continues, sooner or later I will become a cook...

"I can't find you anywhere, so I have no choice but to stay here!"

In order to prevent the dinner from being too delicious, the princess even gave up snacks on her own initiative, so that she could free up her belly for a feast.

According to her little logic, the emperor's brother must know a lot of recipes for immortal food when he returns from the fairy world.

So you must prepare your stomach in advance, otherwise you will be treating yourself badly.

"About dinner..."

Yaoji clasped his hands behind his back and looked at his little beautiful sister seriously, thinking to himself: Do we need to hold a court meeting to discuss it?

The foodie princess blinked her big watery eyes and waited obediently next to her, hoping to taste some delicious food again.

After saying a few words, Yaoji looked at his watch, which was the European-style clock held in the little eunuch's arms.

You must carry this thing with you, otherwise you won't know what time it is. Fortunately, I have many brothers who can do everything.

wipe!

It’s not even half past four!

If you eat before six o'clock, I'm afraid your stomach will growl again before eleven o'clock at night, right?

If things continue like this, the future prince-in-law will not be able to feed his wife even if he provides three meals a day...

The father who dumped the pot is traveling in the immortal world. As the prince, after feeding the household department and the victims, he will feed the family members in the back mansion.

The weather is so hot that even without a thermometer, just using the surface of the body to feel it, the temperature must be 24 to 5 degrees.

It will get even hotter if you stay indoors. It is estimated that the nobles will have no appetite.

If Supervisor Shang Shan is asked to prepare a table of steaming meals, it will really be used to irritate people...
