After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.
Chapter 61 The Night of Later Generations
Saturday night was a rare quiet evening, so I decided to go shopping with a few girls from my dorm.
After putting on makeup and changing clothes, they went out.
Winter is almost here, and it gets dark very quickly now; people are wearing coats as they pass by.
As I stepped out of the dormitory, the sky suddenly opened up.
People from all dynasties under the sky were looking forward to watching short videos again at night, but this time, the figures of Miss Zhu and her three roommates appeared on the sky.
Although modern and ancient understandings of clothing and style differ greatly, a comparison reveals that Zhu Qinggu is dressed more elaborately today, wearing a skirt and exquisite earrings.
Does Miss Zhu have something to do today?
If you can follow Miss Zhu to learn more about later generations, it's actually no worse than watching short videos.
The ancients looked around at everything with great curiosity.
Even at this hour, it's still very bright here. That thing emits light, making the night as bright as day. They all know that it's called a lamp through the canopy.
In later times, lamps would not be rare. They saw a whole row of lamps, and the road was wide and flat. Were they all made of stone? How much manpower and resources would that have required?
An Rongrong looked at the sky with envy. Her mother was an embroiderer who stayed up late at night embroidering by lamp oil, hoping to help her father buy an official position. The lamp oil stung her eyes, and the embroidery was mentally taxing. Her mother's eyes were ruined from all the hard work...
How wonderful it would be if they all had such lamps!
Moreover, the people on the sky were all very tall and had full faces, showing no signs of hunger or hardship. Even the girls could walk freely and confidently on the road, and they even had opportunities to learn...
She gazed longingly at the sky.
Not only her, but many ancient people also stared intently at the sky, and the peace and happiness of not being hungry appeared in everyone. Therefore, these people of later generations all have a very unique confidence and generosity.
Just like Miss Zhu.
There are so many students here. In such a short time, I've already seen quite a few students walk by, some carrying books, others carrying something else, and their eyes are shining.
Some people even came back wearing shorts and short sleeves, carrying a ball in their hands; I wonder how many of them felt a little embarrassed.
Some people also cursed it as being utterly disrespectful.
However, their insults couldn't travel across the screen to future generations, and Zhu Qinggu was unaware of this.
The four of them set off quickly, strolling along the way, chattering away.
From their words, the ancients knew that this was only their East Campus... Was this school really that big?
And those houses, all built in a square shape, each with several floors, all with lights on and students inside.
Do you still need to study so late?
But when they thought of Zhu Qinggu's thick books, and the densely packed words on them, the obscure words that they couldn't understand even after reading them many times, the ancients lamented that later generations weren't so carefree either...
Some ancient people who were subject to curfews envied those who could go out and play late at night, and the outside world seemed peaceful and tranquil.
The ancients, who did not have a curfew, intended to compare the differences between nights in later generations and their own nights.
Zhu Qinggu and her friends left the school and waited for the bus at the bus stop.
The ancients saw a huge moving box, and there were many other boxes of different colors and shapes along the way. All of these boxes were moving, and people were sitting inside them!
Are these really cars?!
But why don't later carriages need to be pulled by horses or oxen? They just move forward on their own and even turn corners!
All this novelty completely captivated these ancient people.
Looking at the sky, Ying Zheng immediately ordered his eunuch to summon the Mohists. "Do you know how the chariots on this sky were made, so that they don't use horses or oxen?"
"It's very likely a mechanical device, but even I might not be able to create these vehicles," the Mo family member explained in detail.
The Mohists always rejected the First Emperor because the Qin Dynasty did not provide them with a political foundation, and also because they considered the Qin Dynasty to be tyrannical.
But now the First Emperor has given them two paths: life or death. If they live, they will have a certain political foundation. The specifics will depend on the heavens and how well they can replicate the heavens.
During this time, they also figured out some things about papermaking and made some achievements. As expected, they received rewards and preferential treatment, and now some members of the Mo family have begun to be moved.
"What about those carts over there, made of levers and wheels?" Ying Zheng pointed to the bicycles on the sky.
More than two thousand years have passed since then, so it's not surprising that things from later times can't be replicated, but that bicycle looks very simple.
The Mohists also looked at the sky, and some even took out their charcoal pencils and started drawing simple pictures on the cloth. The more they drew, the brighter their eyes became.
"Your Majesty, I would like to take a look at this thing called a bicycle."
Ying Zheng didn't urge them too much, letting them think about it whenever they had time.
Many emperors shared the same idea as Ying Zheng. Their first thought was whether the craftsmen could build the large, moving box on top. The craftsmen all looked distressed.
If they could create it, they would already be honored guests of the emperor. Why would they need to struggle with these things here? That's what they thought in their hearts, but they would definitely agree to the emperor and give it a try.
Zhu Qinggu and her group boarded the bus in an orderly fashion. The bus was spacious and clean, and the transparent glass windows allowed them to look out and watch the scenery outside being left behind.
The bus is also equipped with seats, with signs next to them indicating priority seating for the sick, disabled, and pregnant.
Most of the people who went out with them were students. A pregnant woman came up later, and a student who was sitting on a chair gave up his seat. The people around them didn't seem to find it strange.
This behavior also resonated with many people in ancient times.
It's unknown what later generations learned, but judging from Miss Zhu's example, they probably didn't study the classics and historical texts that they have now. Not studying them doesn't mean they didn't understand benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness; many of these things were already hidden in every corner of life.
Although things are not always as wonderful as they imagine, the fact that many people are willing to abide by and act upon these principles is itself a form of education.
When the bus arrives at a station, it will announce which station it is and remind passengers to get off, as well as where the next station is. It's really a great service.
Zhu Qinggu and the others got off the bus through the back door.
The people at this station waited in front to board the train in an orderly manner.
