Chapter 31 Excessive Transition in Later Generations
Chapter 31 Excessive Transition in Later Generations
Before long, people from all dynasties saw Lin Ke sit in something that looked like an iron box and were amazed at how fast it was moving.
If we had such a divine object, wouldn't we be able to go wherever we wanted?
Lin Ke noticed that many people were asking questions and replied, "This is a taxi, which is equivalent to a horse-drawn carriage in ancient times. It is a means of transportation. Taking the Qin and Han dynasties as an example, one li is about 400 meters, which means that it can travel about 145 li every half hour."
"It couldn't be made with the technology of ancient times, and the principle behind it is quite complicated to explain, so our friends from ancient times shouldn't even think about it!"
His Majesties from various dynasties have already come up with more than a dozen uses for it, and you're telling me it can't be done?!
Lin Ke climbed out of the metal box and walked to a building—a library.
"Friends, our first stop is the library of the future. It has tens of thousands of books, and you can borrow them all with just a library card. It must have been a paradise for scholars in ancient times!"
Ancient scholars, seeing the countless bookshelves on the surrounding walls, couldn't help but exclaim in unison: "If only we could go to the future!"
Lin Ke knew that studying was not easy in ancient times, especially for students from poor families.
Just as I was pondering something, I heard 999's cheerful voice.
999 System (hands on hips): After the system is upgraded, it will come with its own library. It will take about two days. At that time, people in ancient times can just buy books with merit points. Host, do you want me to give you 500,000 points to upgrade?
Lin Ke couldn't help but be tempted. He glanced at his points and saw that he still had 100 million points left, enough to level up!
After accumulating points through the 999 system, it immediately went offline to upgrade, without wasting a single word.
Lin Ke: ...
"I have some good news to share! In two days, there will be a book library in the Xiaoguangping Mall. You can buy what you need then! Please consume rationally!"
Su Zhe, the expert at buying things for his brother: I'll buy it for my brother! @OptimisticSuDongpo
The optimist Su Dongpo: Wow!!!
Li Bai, the top poet: @LiBai's biggest fan Du Fu Zimei, let's get together next time, read together, and have a few cups of fine wine, wouldn't that be wonderful!?
Du Fu, a huge fan of Li Bai: Brother Li Bai, you are absolutely right!
Wang Lun, the top donor: Can you include me? I have money and time!
……
"Alright, the book issue is resolved, let's go eat!"
Lin Ke plans to go to a buffet, and also let all the ancestors experience Chinese cuisine.
For the first time, the people of all dynasties had seen so much delicious food. They could eat so much for just a little money, which was a great deal. So they were all hungry and were preparing to use the copy function to eat it all.
It must be said that people in ancient times were clever. Some merchants sensed the business opportunity and immediately followed suit, which quickly became a trend.
Ming Dynasty
Zhu Di had just finished dealing with state affairs and hadn't even had time to check the small screen, so he didn't know what would be broadcast today. Suddenly, on a whim, he went to check on his eldest son. But as soon as he reached the door of the study, he smelled a pungent fragrance and couldn't help but sneeze.
Pushing open the door, good heavens! The entire desk was covered with plates, and the chubby Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi was slurping and spitting out food without stopping, looking sweaty and with swollen lips.
Zhu Di hurriedly took away his chopsticks, ordered someone to bring ice water, and cursed, "What's wrong? You can't stop eating just this little bit of food?! Don't forget you are the Crown Prince, you can't indulge your desires too much!"
Zhu Gaochi's mouth was burning, but he still muttered under his breath, "Dad loves to fight, but I've never seen you not fight! Zhanji loves to fight crickets, but I've never heard you say anything about that!"
Zhu Di was furious when he saw Zhu Gaochi's chubby face and urged, "Hurry up and stop eating! You should lose some weight when you have time! I've never seen a crown prince so fat!"
The chaos and turmoil caused by Zhu Di and his son did not affect the people's experience of eating rice in various dynasties; it tasted delicious!
.........
"After we've eaten and drunk our fill, let's head to our last destination for today: the supermarket!"
Lin Ke chose a nearby supermarket and said, "They have everything here, including out-of-season fruits and vegetables."
The powerful and influential families had long known that things would be convenient for future generations, but they never expected it to go to such an extent!
The watermelon on there looks delicious!
That's a lychee over there, isn't it? The lychee that Yang Guifei loved! I wonder what it tastes like!
The common people of each dynasty were much more simple and honest, with their eyes all set on the grain.
So much rice and vegetables! Will future generations never go hungry? How wonderful! I'm so envious!
Lin Ke bought more seeds and grains. Once they finished replicating them, perhaps farmers in some dynasties would be able to survive the subsequent famines, and at least they wouldn't have to resort to cannibalism.
汉朝
Liu Che ordered someone to open a watermelon that Lin Ke had bought. It was so sweet and delicious! Looking back at the melon he had just eaten, it was in a completely different league.
I, a piggy, am now enjoying delicacies from the future!
Wei Qing's eyes flickered as he recalled the note Lin Ke had given him earlier.
Huo Guang, whom Qu Bing had just brought back, was well-behaved and sensible. How did he become the person recorded in later generations as having immense power over the court?
How could such an obedient child depose and install two emperors? And still end up with his entire family executed?!
They need to live a long time; they're all too troublesome. We need to straighten out Huo Guang!
