Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 202 Achievements
In the end, Cheng Jun gave in.As Yang Menglong said, he had knelt down 99 times. This last kneeling was just a shiver. In fact, he also wanted to see what the hell the so-called tap water was and what effect it had.

So ditches were dug and water pipes laid.

Tap water has been around for a long time.As early as the ancient Roman era, the Romans connected lead pipes as thick as bowls to introduce mountain springs more than ten kilometers away into the city, and then transported them to thousands of households through water pipelines extending in all directions. Roman residents did not have to work hard to pick up water. Water, if you want to use water, just turn on the faucet, which is very convenient.But it has to be said that this is a very bad invention. The lead content in tap water delivered by lead pipes is at least a hundred times higher than that of mineral water. In addition, the Romans also used a large number of lead products in their daily lives, such as Wine glasses, lead barrels, etc. are all very deadly. The accumulation of lead toxins over time has eventually led to nationwide lead poisoning. The physical fitness is getting worse and worse, the fertility rate is getting lower and lower, and there are more and more deformed babies. Once prominent The incomparable Roman Empire fell like this.In China, some cities in the south have also used bamboo to lay some water pipelines to deliver sweet spring water into the city, but this is not common.For people in this era, tap water is still a very unfamiliar thing, and it will take more than 100 years to see it widely used.

After refining the steel he wanted, Yang Menglong tried to process the steel into seamless steel pipes, but failed without a doubt.There are a lot of air bubbles in the processed steel pipe, and using this thing to make a gun is simply the best weapon for murdering your own soldiers.However, it is still possible to use it as a water pipe. In front of Cheng Jun, the craftsmen connected the thick steel pipes with straight pipes engraved with a circle of threads, and paved a three-mile-long water pipe. The water pipes lead all the way to the school, and then are transported to the dining hall, bathhouse and back garden through thinner pipes.In the end, this guy insisted again and again, using pottery pipes to make sewage pipes to connect the dormitories of every student and teacher, so that domestic sewage, urine and stool, etc. can be flushed to the toilet outside the school directly through the sewage pipes. The septic tank is gone, which is so convenient.

Cheng Jun sighed: "Are you in the Immortal Mansion or in the Academy? Why do I feel that the place where the Immortals live is not as good as here?"

Yang Menglong pouted: "Immortals live in caves, okay?"

The news that Wuyang Wei was building a school had already spread throughout Nanyang Prefecture. After the school was completed, many people came to see it every day, both local and foreign, wanting to see what kind of school a group of military households could build.When they saw that the building was just a block of tofu, many people sneered: "A martial artist is a martial artist, he is so vulgar. Even the houses he built are so vulgar, it's just a joke!" As for the fact that this building is five stories high. , their comment was: "If you are so ambitious, you will get into trouble sooner or later!" After the pavilion on the rooftop was built, they laughed even more: "Neither fish nor fowl!" When the building was tiled and glass windows were installed, these guys said that I have He also said: "It's just some grotesque things, not doing the right thing!" Anyway, there is nothing about this school that they like, and it seems that they can't show their nobility without a few words of ridicule.

Yang Menglong ignored this waste and surrounded the whole school with a wall.Whatever you like to comment, just spray it outside the wall, I am too lazy to bother you.After trying a few times, he also got the blackboard out. This thing is not complicated, it is nothing more than smearing a layer of black paint on the relatively smooth concrete wall, and it will be done after a few attempts.Chalk is also easy to handle. It is made of lime. In order to get rid of the damn brush, Yang Menglong made people work hard to make chalk, and now it is almost successful... Well, it can let Chinese students taste it more than 300 years in advance The feeling of being smashed by chalk and chalk can be regarded as his great contribution to the cause of education.He secretly booked a position as a chemistry teacher for himself. When he was studying, he was always hit by the teacher's chalk head, and now he wants to taste the feeling of hitting a bunch of little kids with a piece of chalk.

"I began to feel that even if I don't get any profitable ideas from you, it's worth spending so much money to build this school." Looking at the magnificent building under the setting sun, Cheng Jun was filled with emotion.

Yang Menglong chuckled and said, "I told you that there is a business that will make you a steady profit without losing money, so you can do it. Just say what you say. Now it's the last step. When this step is done, we will start to cooperate."

Cheng Jun asked eagerly, "What else should I do?"

Yang Menglong said: "Nonsense, of course we should hire teachers!"

Cheng Jun said: "This is easy to handle. There are so many failed scholars. If you let the wind go, you can invite dozens of them."

Yang Menglong widened his eyes and shouted: "Why do I want these trash who can't lift their shoulders or lift their hands, but can only talk and talk? I want people with special skills!"

Cheng Jun was puzzled: "What kind of technology does your lord want?"

Yang Menglong said: "There are too many! Those who understand chemistry, mathematics, astronomy and geography, agriculture, medicine, and cooking... We need talents from all walks of life, but we don't want those who can't do anything but say a few words. A piece of trash who knows nothing about poetry!" Glancing at Cheng Jun, "It's fine for someone like you, you can teach children how to do business."

Cheng Jun was stunned: "I can do it too?"

Yang Menglong nodded affirmatively: "Of course! Don't you think that doing business is also a very profound knowledge? Now this school is to train a large number of people who can do business!"

Cheng Jun was completely messed up: "No... my lord, business is a lowly business, and the school has always taught the way of sages, how can people like this lowly business get into this elegant hall!"

Yang Menglong said: "I'll go to his lowly business of sheep and camels! All walks of life, each perform their own duties, how can there be a distinction between high and low? Presumably the group of scholars forcibly divided them, so that they can always be on top, right?"

This topic is too sensitive, Cheng Jun didn't dare to answer it, he just said: "A school of this size is rare in the world, and it should be used well. If it is used to teach some unorthodox ways, it will only be self-defeating and make people laugh. I hope you think twice!"

Yang Menglong couldn't listen at all: "Let them laugh when they laugh, I don't bother to care about it. I just want to use this school to continuously train a large number of mathematics, chemistry, medicine, astronomy, geography, agriculture, machinery, industry and commerce. Wait for talents of all kinds! Then they will see that the achievements of these talents are ten times, a hundred times or even a thousand times higher than their gang of lip-smacking waste, and they will be pissed off! Hmph, scholars, scholars are very Is it noble? When everyone in Nanyang, Henan, and even the whole country can read books, everyone can write and do arithmetic, let’s see how noble they are!”

Cheng Jun was dumbfounded.Everyone in the whole country can read, everyone can write and count... Boss, how much hatred do you have with literati, this is to dig their roots!However, if everyone in the whole country can really read books, it will really be an unprecedented prosperous age. I dare not think about it, dare not think about it!
Just as he was talking, a soldier came to report that Xiao Yufang, Liu Ziyan, and Cheng Qi were coming. Yang Menglong immediately put away his ambitions and rushed downstairs to meet them.Sure enough, the three beauties were standing downstairs in the setting sun, admiring the glass windows reflecting the sunset.Cheng Shi and Wu Yong also came, these two dear friends were a bit exaggerated, looking at the five-story building, they were speechless.Yang Menglong didn't care about him, he ran up to Xiao Yufang and asked cheerfully, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Yufang gave him a blank look: "How long has it been since you went home? I won't come and see, okay?"

Yang Menglong was a little confused: "Have I not been home for a long time? No?"

Liu Ziyan was both angry and funny: "It hasn't been long, just over a month."

Yang Menglong beat his head... It seemed that he really hadn't been home for more than a month!He smiled embarrassingly, and said: "During this time, I was so focused on building the school that I forgot to go home. I'm sorry!"

Xiao Yufang smiled helplessly: "Once you encounter something you are interested in, you will completely forget everything. I have long been used to it."

When Cheng Qi heard that Yang Menglong personally apologized to Xiao Yufang, she couldn't help being secretly amazed.These days, men are the heavens, men are the earth, women's status is pitifully low, all mistakes are women's faults, expecting husbands to apologize to their wives, it is really harder than going to heaven, this guy Xiao Yufang apologized before showing off her power?Well, he must be a guilty bastard!

An Ning, who was led by Wu Yong, looked up at the gazebo on the top floor and exclaimed, "Brother, is this the building you built? It's so tall!"

Yang Menglong said: "I built it. I said that I want you and your friends to sit in the best building to read and read happily, and grow up happily. How about it? Speaking of Did you do it?"

An Ning nodded happily: "Brother is awesome!"

It was only now that Cheng Shi came back to his senses and exclaimed: "My God, this house is even more magnificent than the prince's palace!"

Yang Menglong gnawed his nails: "Is it grand? I don't think so?" In his opinion, a modern central primary school is much more grand than this school.

Wu Yong took a breath and said: "It's more than that! I'm afraid...the whole of Henan can't find a house more magnificent than this!" He wanted to say that even the imperial palace is not as magnificent as this place, but he quickly changed his words for fear of misfortune coming out of his mouth. .

Yang Menglong smiled, and simply took them to visit all corners of the whole school.

Wu Yong and Cheng Shi have seen the world, but after entering the school, they are still like grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Everything they see is new and incredible.The spacious classroom, the unseen glass windows, the frighteningly large blackboard, and the water pipes climbing all over the walls can make them scream.Xiao Yufang and Liu Ziyan's reactions were relatively normal. After all, they had been with this guy for a long time and saw many incredible things, and their hearts became stronger, able to withstand all surprises and frights.Cheng Qi's reaction was more exaggerated. When Yang Menglong turned on the faucet, and the water spurted out from the faucet, the girl let out a horrific scream: "There's a ghost——" almost didn't scare Yang Menglong out. pee!
Although Cheng Qi was quite frightened, Yang Menglong still felt a sense of accomplishment seeing everyone praising his work. After all, it was possible to build such a high-rise building these days and provide such a spacious space and space for the whole building. Sufficient light, heating and water supply facilities are all available. There are not many people, or he is the only one.He didn't care what other people thought of him, but when he saw Xiao Yufang's surprised face, his heart was filled with joy, and the beauty was bubbling.

While they were enjoying themselves, Cheng Qi had recovered from her panic and asked Yang Menglong: "This building is so tall, can it accommodate 3000 to [-] people for school? When are you going to start school?"
