afterglow

Chapter 176
Just imagine if it could be introduced in the [-]th century, that is, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty in history, combined with the strong technical background of the Chinese folk, decades of time would be enough to spread its branches and leaves.

Of course, this is too idealistic. In fact, there will be many objective factors affecting this process. What's more, "scientific system" is a concept summed up by later generations. How did you know what it was at that time?
Due to orthodoxy, the post-Ming control over folk ideology and culture can be said to be very loose.

But this easing is different from the easing caused by the decay, chaos, and loss of control in the last years of the dynasty during the reign of Apocalypse and Chongzhen, but a kind of "orderly easing".

This is quite praised by literati. At the same time, because of the continuous growth of the population and the further development of the commodity economy, "Our country is prosperous all over the world, there is no chaos of barbarians, no pirates, no factory guards, and the atmosphere is always open, regardless of words. ..."

Under such circumstances, the exchanges between China and the West became more frequent, various books flowed in one after another, and the process of Western learning eastward spread slowly and lasted for a long time.

Although natural science has made great progress in the north and south of the river, compared with Europe in the same period, it can only be said to be a trickle and a rolling wave.

The imperial court and the government did not prohibit it, but the speed of spontaneous popularization and dissemination among the people was too slow and lacked impetus.

Bottom-up reform is so difficult. Monarchs and people do not have the perspective of God. They don’t know what a scientific system is that can play such a big driving force in the process of technological development. They only know that if there is something good, take it. Just copy it.

As early as Emperor Wenzong's reign, British businessmen brought drawings of steam engines and hired local craftsmen in Guangzhou to build one, in order to please the governor and prefect.

But people just look at it fresh and don't take it seriously.

Replace human labor with machines?Who did it?There are hundreds of millions of people in the future, and manpower is cheaper than livestock. Who wants to use machines that are expensive and require maintenance?
Moreover, officials have to worry about the dire consequences of machines replacing manpower—tens of millions of people will lose their jobs, and it would be too terrifying if so many refugees rebel.

The population of the UK is only small, and the refugees from the enclosure movement are not enough to see. Here in the Houming... maybe it will be hundreds of thousands or millions. In view of the lessons learned during the Tianqi and Chongzhen years, no one dares to try.

This reflects the importance of being a guide. If the emperor of this time period can predict the future, he can try to start fundamental reforms in advance-establishing commercial laws, so as to breed a real bourgeoisie and apply the capitalist production system; at the same time Foreign immigration reduces the population of the interior and so on.

It's a pity that this is just a beautiful vision, because the eyes of the sky cannot be opened.

"Anyway, it turns out that the luck and wisdom of the Chinese people are good." Zhou Changfeng sighed as if talking to himself.

Seven years ago, that is, in 7930 Qiyuan, a bachelor (doctorate) student at Suncheon University of Technology discovered the annihilation radiation of positive and negative electrons during an experiment, and made in-depth research and published a paper , proving the existence of positrons, thus opening the door to the study of antimatter.

He also won the Nobel Prize in Physics the year before last; in addition, a professor from Chengdu University won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his research on chlorophyll.

Two Nobel Prizes in one year, one in physics and one in chemistry, are undoubtedly achievements worthy of pride and pride.

At least Ming people can brag: Daming, the world is invincible!
The sound of "Duang——" brought Zhou Changfeng, who was thinking, back to reality.

In fact, this school is equipped with electric bells, but today the electric bell controller is broken and has not been repaired, so we can only ring gongs instead.

He didn't take a few steps before he saw Xia Xiaoshi coming out of another classroom, holding a slender ruler in addition to the textbook in his hand.

Seeing Zhou Changfeng, her stern face suddenly turned into surprise.

"Why did you come in?"

"Come in and take a look if you have nothing to do."

"Oh... have you set a date for your departure?"

"On the tenth day of next month, it's not too early or too late. Let's go, I'll take you to pick things up today."

Just like that, Xia Xiaoshi, who didn't know why, was dragged by Zhou Changfeng and walked towards the school gate.

The latter's attire was already eye-catching, but this action directly increased the rate of turning heads to [-]%.

Wow!It's at school!In full view!

The shy Xia Xiaoshi subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away, but she couldn't get rid of it at all, so she had no choice but to obey and go outside.

"Go... What are you going to pick?!"

"house."

Of course, you have to find an intermediary to buy a house. This profession has a long history, at least in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, this occupation had a new name called "Yalang". I think people who do this are very smart, and you can tell the age of a livestock by just looking at its teeth.

During the Song and Ming Dynasties, due to the rapid development of the commodity economy, the demand for goods and commodities increased greatly, and the job of Yaren also developed accordingly, and the government was also involved in it, and there were official teeth and private teeth.

In the Ming Dynasty, the development of this industry has been quite sound. Dental practitioners have to obtain tooth stickers from the government, that is, a business license, and pay taxes. This industry also has a formal organization, called the dental industry. We need to send someone to check.

However, the division of labor in ancient times was not as detailed as it is in modern times. Many jobs were done by one person, such as real estate agencies and Fang Ya in ancient times. They were actually equivalent to real estate brokers, real estate registration agents, real estate appraisers, etc. aggregate.

Today, although the official nomenclature has been renamed "Fang Hu, Fang Hu Xing", the folks are still accustomed to such titles as Ya Ren, Fang Ya, and Ya Xing.

"Okay sir, this is one of our recommendations, you come with me."

Housing prices in Beijing are already high, but in urban areas they are even higher. People who come to choose a house in an urban area usually take a few days to find one.

Moreover, many people's wishes are not very strong, and they are often discouraged after hearing about the high price. It is indeed rare to see people like Zhou Changfeng.

Fang Huxing, who was sure that the big business came, attached great importance to it, and immediately sent someone to lead the two of them to see the house without saying a word.

The small courtyard house with a compact layout faces south and is located near Pishi Avenue and Anpin Street. There is a tram stop a few hundred meters away, and the location is excellent.

After wandering around the main room, Zhou Changfeng commented with his arms crossed: "It's a little small, but the location is really good."

Fang Huren, or several real estate salesmen were afraid that he would regret or change his mind, so he hurriedly said: "This main house has two floors, and it is quite spacious."

Xia Xiaoshi imagined her life in the future, "I also think it's not too small, it's hard to clean it, and it's too big...it's tiring."

Good guy, do you think one is too small and the other is too big?
Several Fang Huren were embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Zhou Chang, who was feeling the effect of the lighting, heard the rumors and felt that it really made sense. After all, the residence should be livable, so he nodded readily and said, "That's right, let's do this."

He turned his head and said with a smile: "The main reason is that the location is good, and it's also close to your house, so it's convenient to run back to your mother's house when you get angry."

Xia Xiaoshi, who was used to his jokes for a long time, didn't mind, she smirked, and said quietly: "Then I will definitely let my father read a book for you."

Zhou Changfeng: "..."
