When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!
Chapter 229 If the border wall is as high as a high-rise residential building
Just when you are feeling elated, it's like a blow to the head, a basin of ice-cold water is poured over you. No matter who encounters this situation, it would be difficult to maintain a happy mood.
At this moment, Emperor Jing of Han actually hoped deep in his heart that this place was indeed the world more than two thousand years later, and that time travel was by no means fiction. Especially if the person standing in front of him was really his own flesh and blood, he would definitely teach the other person a lesson.
Some people may ask, what if we don’t have any equipment for beating?
Emperor Jing of Han knew very well that the man who claimed to be his son was holding a whip in his hand when they first met.
The whip was very similar to the one he often used in the palace to punish his disobedient sons.
In this way, the Rebellion of the Seven Kings was quelled and the Han Dynasty had no worries.
You can also vent your anger!
Chao Cuo stared at Emperor Wu of Han with resentment, and wondered in his heart, even if what this person said was true, should he advise His Majesty to choose another prince to inherit the throne?
Zhu Ming silently turned his gaze towards Emperor Wu of Han, secretly wondering why someone who was usually so smart and quick-witted gave people the feeling of wanting to be beaten at this moment.
So, he counted with his fingers and whispered softly, "Brother Liu, in my opinion, you may be in danger of a bloody disaster today."
Emperor Wu of Han was stunned at first, then he patted Zhu Ming's shoulder vigorously and said with a hearty smile: "Brother, I think it's because your skills are not yet perfect. I, your brother Liu, have been strong since childhood, so how could I be afraid of such nonsense!"
When they passed the toll station, both Emperor Jing of Han and Chao Cuo had a hint of strangeness in their eyes.
Just now, they were still feeling grateful for the good security here and that they had not been harassed by robbers.
However, fate always seemed to like playing tricks on people, and in the blink of an eye they came across this toll booth, which existed so blatantly.
No passing vehicles were spared and all were stopped.
However, the two did not see anyone complaining, and thought that the situation might be a little different from what they imagined.
After entering the small town, Emperor Jing of Han and Chao Cuo personally felt the same intense shock that Emperor Wu of Han had experienced.
I saw rows of towering buildings, standing before my eyes like a steel forest;
The wide streets were crowded with cars of all kinds, forming a long queue that seemed to have no end. From time to time, people would impatiently honk their horns to urge the vehicles in front to move forward.
Whenever the green light comes on, the armies of electric vehicles on both sides instantly surge out like a tide, even with a posture like marching and charging into battle, vying for the first place.
There are a wide variety of shops on both sides of the road, and the bustling crowds of people are shoulder to shoulder, making it very lively.
"What kind of sacred place is this?" Emperor Jing of Han couldn't help but ask.
Chao Cuo standing by was also shocked: "Looking around, there are almost no buildings shorter than the city towers of the Han Dynasty."
"This building is more than ten feet high. What kind of method was used to build it? How can it stand like this?"
"If the walls of the Han Dynasty could be built to this height, even if the fierce Xiongnu attacked with all their might, it would probably be in vain."
Since Emperor Wu of Han had visited this small town many times, he had a relatively good understanding of it. In addition, he was willing to learn, so he was more familiar with it than the average elementary school student.
At this moment, Emperor Wu of Han temporarily played the role of the answerer of "One Hundred Thousand Whys" and patiently introduced them to Emperor Jing of Han and Chao Cuo one by one.
"Father, those buildings that are several dozen feet high are residential buildings, where the people live."
Emperor Jing of Han was shocked: "You must be kidding! Such a magnificent building is more magnificent than my palace. How can it be a place for ordinary people to live?"
Chao Cuo always considered himself to be knowledgeable, but when he heard that the building that was dozens of feet high was actually for people to live in, he was still filled with disbelief.
If such a huge structure were placed in the Han Dynasty, it would definitely be regarded as a landmark building, used to show its grandeur and magnificence to every delegation coming to the Han Dynasty.
"It's simply unbelievable! I can't believe it. I have to see it with my own eyes."
"I will take you there to check it out later. It so happens that Brother Zhu also has several houses here, one of which is on the top floor." Emperor Wu of Han knew that it would be hard to believe for a while.
After that, everyone found a parking space on the side of the road. After parking the car, Emperor Wu of Han and Zhu Ming gave a few instructions to the other two, and then got out of the car together.
After all, just sitting in the car and watching from afar is not as real as walking through it in person.
The mall was crowded with customers coming to shop.
They selected the goods as they pleased and finally paid at the exit. This novel experience surprised the two people who were trying it for the first time.
They were especially shocked when they learned that they could receive a bag of salt weighing one kilogram for free if they spent more than 19.9 yuan.
You know, in the Han Dynasty, salt was an extremely precious commodity. The salt in this supermarket is as white as snow, and its quality is even better than the refined salt in the Han Dynasty's imperial palace.
After leaving the supermarket, Emperor Jing of Han couldn't help but open the salt that was given to him.
"It tastes purer than the salt in the palace, without any bitter taste."
Chao Cuo also tasted it and said: "It's really salt. I thought that person was bragging. Buying something and giving away salt, there is no such thing in the world."
Looking at the several kilograms of organic vegetables purchased by Zhu Ming, Chao Cuo felt that salt should be the most valuable. In the Han Dynasty, it would be possible to get several kilograms of vegetables for free when buying a bag of salt.
"Is it possible that salt is produced in abundance here and everyone can eat salt?" Emperor Jing of Han asked with surprise.
"Salt may be a rare commodity in your place, but not here. If you can't even afford salt, you can't imagine what kind of life you're living. It's not a problem to buy a hundred kilograms of salt with the wages earned from a day's work."
From childhood to adulthood, I have seen people who cannot afford meat, but I have never seen anyone who cannot afford salt.
"One day's work can buy 100 kilograms of salt!"
The two were shocked again.
How wealthy are the people here?
Salt freedom has truly been achieved.
Emperor Wu of Han smiled and said, "After all, it is more than 2,000 years later. Many things are different from the Han Dynasty. Your Majesty, don't be surprised. The chamber pot of the Han Dynasty may be exchanged for a truck of salt when it arrives here, and it has to be a large truck."
"You must be kidding me, the Huns!"
The two were hit hard again and couldn't help but hold their chins in thought.
Emperor Jing of Han thought about the chamber pot he had used for many years in the palace, which he always found obscene, and how it could be exchanged for a cart of salt. He really couldn't understand it.
Chao Cuo's face changed slightly. This morning, a servant accidentally broke a chamber pot. In the past, it was not a big deal, but now thinking about it, it was like a cart of salt was missing. He cursed the bastard in his heart and decided to beat him with a stick when he got back.
Zhu Ming looked at the two people who were stunned and said, "It's different from what you think in your mind now. The chamber pot that Lao Liu mentioned is an antique. It refers to the chamber pot of the Han Dynasty unearthed here. It has been buried underground for a long time and has been baptized by the years. If you bring a chamber pot directly from your Han Dynasty here and give it to others, they will find it dirty and may even beat you up!"
"So that's it, you're talking about antiques!" Chao Cuo suddenly realized and said that it was impossible for any chamber pot to be exchanged for so much salt.
If it's an antique, it's not impossible.
If there was a large summer night pot at home, Chao Cuo thought it should be no problem to replace it with a few kilograms of salt.
Emperor Jing of Han also thought of this.
Antiques are indeed valuable when they meet people who like to collect them.
The clothing store has completely different styles from the Han Dynasty clothing.
Just hang them there for customers to choose from. You don’t need to measure the size when buying clothes and then sew them with fabric.
Some women's clothing made the two of them feel very strange.
It was clearly placed among adults' clothes, but that little bit of fabric was too small to even be used as a handkerchief. What could it be used for?
Beauty shop
Saw someone getting a haircut.
Chao Cuo felt that his worldview was about to collapse.
My parents dare not damage my body and hair, but here, it seems that they don't exist at all. Looking at the expressions of other people around me, it seems to be a very normal thing.
Moreover, most men have short hair, and it is almost impossible to see any hair that goes above the shoulders.
The woman's hair was colorful and her nails were of different styles. She looked seductive, and Chao Cuo couldn't help but think of the word "fairy".
Enter the optical shop.
The shopping guide came over enthusiastically. There was a special dimensional dressing base in the mall. She had seen all kinds of clothes and was not surprised. "What kind of glasses do you want to wear? All the glasses here are sold directly by the manufacturer."
"Eyes?" The two thought they might have heard wrong. Eyes could be matched. Considering the cultural differences between different eras, they knew that this was probably not what they had in mind.
Zhu Ming nodded and said, "Let's check their eyesight first. They are used to playing ancient roles and may have some ancient thinking. Don't mind it later."
The shopping guide's eyes lit up when he saw the watch Zhu Ming was wearing. Dozens of watches costing Daluo were not something that ordinary people could afford.
I thought to myself, not to mention that I’m used to playing the role of ancient people, even if I really am an ancient person, I have to sell a few pairs of glasses.
"Please rest assured, sir. We are all professionally trained and can provide the best service to any guest."
He brought the two people to the ophthalmometer and instructed them very patiently.
For example, in the Qin and Han dynasties, there was no paper and people still used bamboo slips, which were not as clear as paper. In addition, people often stayed up late and read by candlelight, so their eyesight was more or less abnormal.
Emperor Wu of Han had worn glasses before, but now he wore contact lenses.
As expected, both of them were a little nearsighted, with Emperor Jing of Han being about two hundred years old.
Chao Cuo is a bit higher, about 400 degrees, with a little astigmatism.
"Help each of them get two or three pairs of glasses. The styles should match the roles they play: one is a senior official in the court, and the other is an emperor!"
"please wait for a moment!"
Several shop assistants worked together and soon all the glasses were made.
He handed the glasses to the two of them and said, "You two try them on!"
As they walked along, the two of them had already discovered that many people were wearing glasses. They knew that it should be a common thing and it would not make a fool of themselves to wear them.
"What, what's going on? I suddenly feel that the surroundings have become much clearer!" Emperor Jing of Han exclaimed, constantly looking at everything around him.
In the past, things in the distance were a little blurry.
You can only see clearly at a close distance.
I asked the imperial physician, but he said there was no way to treat it, and that many scholars had this condition.
I didn't pay too much attention to it.
Now, Emperor Jing of Han felt like he had returned to his childhood. As far as he could remember, he could see so clearly only then.
Chao Cuo slowly put the pair of exquisite glasses on his nose, and the next moment, his originally calm face was instantly covered with extreme shock.
Before this, whenever he tried to observe people in the distance, his vision was always blurred, as if there was a hazy veil between them.
Sometimes even stranger situations would occur - there was clearly only one person in front of you, but when your eyes touched the other person's figure, overlapping phantoms would appear.
For this reason, Chao Cuo had sought treatment from famous doctors everywhere, but the diagnosis given by many doctors was exactly the same: they all said that he suffered from the so-called "short-sightedness" due to long-term excessive use of his eyes.
He also warned him that if he could reduce the time he spent reading books and submitting memorials to the emperor, his condition might not worsen further.
But if you continue to overuse your eyes, your myopia is likely to become more serious.
Ultimately, this may result in only being able to clearly identify objects that are close to you, while objects that are slightly further away may not be visible at all.
Chao Cuo naturally knew that there were many colleagues in the same situation as him.
But being in a high position, dealing with bamboo slips every day is simply unavoidable.
Therefore, even though he knew this, he had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being, and just rely on taking some medicine to slow down the deterioration of his condition on a daily basis.
I thought I was destined to live with this annoying eye disease for the rest of my life, but I never expected that with just a small pair of glasses, I could easily solve the problem that had troubled me for years!
"A magical object, it really is a magical object. I never thought that this thing called glasses could actually allow a short-sighted person to see things far away clearly, but it's a bit dizzy."
"Old man, you probably haven't worn glasses for a long time, so you may not be used to them. Just wear them for a while and you will be able to adapt." The shopping guide explained with a smile.
"Is it really so?" Emperor Jing of Han and Chao Cuo asked in unison.
Zhu Ming nodded: "Don't worry, you two, look around, how many people are wearing glasses, do you see anyone fainted?"
The two looked at the pedestrians outside the store. Almost half of them were wearing glasses and there was nothing unusual about them.
"It's really great. I thought I'd have to get used to this feeling in the future."
Check out the account.
Zhu Ming handed the two bags to each of them.
"Each of you should take your own glasses. If you wear the wrong glasses with different prescriptions, not only will the effect be greatly reduced, but it will also cause damage to your eyes. Each of you will be given three pairs. Generally speaking, one pair of glasses can be used for a few years without any problems. The extra ones are just for precaution. If one day it breaks and you can't see clearly at that time, you can just re-check your eyes and get a new pair."
Now, both of them have an expression on their faces: "Thank you so much, don't worry, I will definitely repay you."
"If you need any help in the future, as long as it is not a matter of principle, I will be willing to help you!"
Emperor Wu of Han chuckled and said, "I guess Father will soon realize that you may not be able to repay me in this lifetime."
Leaving the optical shop.
Both of them were wearing glasses, and like kids going out for the first time, they had to look carefully at everything.
Passing by a knife wholesale store.
Seeing all kinds of knives inside, he was shocked: "So many knives, are they planning to rebel?" (End of this chapter)
