Tao Chengdao, who wanted to fly to the sky, lost to a veteran of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division... And the veteran's original idea was to climb up and look far away, so that he could overlook the entire Yingtian City, issue an early warning, mobilize water trucks, and avoid
The fire spreads.
In a megacity like Yingtian, which has a population of one million, various problems arise one after another. If any one of them cannot be solved, problems will arise.
For example, food, drinking water, and sewage discharge all require a lot of effort to solve.
In addition, things like firefighting are also very scary.
Since most of Yingtian houses are bungalows, only wealthy families can build small buildings.
People piled large amounts of wood around their houses. The alley roads in some neighborhoods are narrow, so once a fire breaks out, it will spread quickly.
It is said that people will be poor on the day of the fire. Many families will be defeated by the fire.
Never be careless.
In the past few years, on average, there have been hundreds of fires in Yingtian every year. The number of people who died in the fires ranged from hundreds to two to three hundred, and the losses were very heavy.
Therefore, Yingtian City also attaches great importance to fire prevention. For example, in every block, water wells must be dug and water collection points are set up. Some families even prepare a row of water tanks under the courtyard wall to extinguish open fires at any time.
But even so, it's hard to say that it can be prevented every time.
There are thousands of people in the Military and Horse Department of the five cities, who are responsible for fire prevention. Every year, soldiers are burned to death by fire...
Knowing this, you can understand the original intention of the veteran who invented the hot air balloon.
I just want to give early warning and reduce losses.
Moreover, his source of inspiration was also the life and death in the fire scene. He found that every time there was a fire, the rising heat would blow dust and gauze into the sky.
Every year, fires occur due to the setting off of sky lanterns, and the sky lanterns rely on flames to burn, causing the heat to fly into the sky...perhaps this is a reminder.
Make the Kongming Lantern so big that people sitting in it can fly into the sky. Standing in the air, they can observe the situation in Yingtian City. Wherever there are fireworks, they can immediately give early warning and notify the people below. The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department
Immediately dispatch to verify...
After the veteran's hot air balloon test was successful, it was immediately used in firefighting.
First, the huge Yingtian City was divided into eight blocks and a hot air balloon was arranged in each block to rise into the air and observe from a high position.
Once a fire alarm is discovered, quickly notify the people below using flags.
The people below notified the Five Cities Military and Horse Department nearby. The Military and Horse Department arranged personnel according to the fire situation and decided to allocate the number of personnel and water trucks...
After this system was launched, it immediately achieved miraculous results.
Since we stand at a high place, we can see clearly and deploy personnel effectively.
In three months, hundreds of fires were put out in advance. For three full months, no soldiers or civilians died due to fires.
This hot air balloon early warning system immediately became popular.
Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, and even Peiping were all imported from the past, and a large number of workshops producing hot-air balloons soon appeared.
The veteran who invented the hot air balloon also successfully received a bonus of 300,000 yuan.
It's just that he didn't ask for the money, but donated it to the brothers who had died in the fires over the years. He was still just an ordinary veteran of the Five Cities Army, pushing a water tanker and busy on the street.
Perhaps the only difference is that there is an extra Ming Dynasty Meritorious Service Medal on his chest.
It is this golden medal that makes veterans special.
Even the highest-ranking nobles in the capital would not dare to make any mistakes when meeting him.
Otherwise, once word spreads, it will be fatal!
In this Ming Dynasty, although there are clans and nobles, the foundation of the country is still the common people. Those ordinary people who have made contributions will receive high-standard treatment.
Prince Manuel of the Fulin Kingdom has lived in the Ming Dynasty for a while. He gradually began to understand the Ming Dynasty and understand some of the characteristics of this country.
He would get up in the morning and buy some soy milk and fried dough sticks. Occasionally he would go to a roast duck restaurant and get a juicy plump roast duck and eat it rolled up in pancakes.
There seem to be many Western businessmen like him.
Not only do they wear Ming Dynasty clothes, eat Ming Dynasty food, and speak Ming Dynasty language, but some of them also carefully trim their beards and grow their hair into a bun.
All in all, from the inside out, transform yourself into a wise person.
Manuel would look up at the sky, looking at the hot air balloons that looked like eyes, and gradually, a different feeling would arise.
He seemed to understand something... When he first came here, what Taishi Zhang mentioned to him, as well as the secrets taught to him by others... were actually very simple.
It is nothing more than treating every ordinary person as a human being and treating people sincerely, just like this hot air balloon... What a magical and amazing invention.
But this invention was created to prevent fires and protect civilians.
It's not for the enjoyment of noble gentlemen.
The Ming Dynasty treated its people like this, so it would naturally gain the support of the people. The Ming Dynasty's soldiers and horses were invincible, and the root cause is here!
On the other hand, look at Byzantium... What is the difference between common people and slaves?
The upper class of Rome lived in Rome, but the lower class of Rome were not as good as mules and horses!
If benevolence and righteousness are not practiced, it will become rotten and withered.
No wonder it will lead to national subjugation!
Good guy, this guy actually attained enlightenment in the merit camp... He decided to write down all his experiences and insights and send them back to Constantinople. When necessary, he would also return to Constantinople to save himself.
country... using the Ming Dynasty’s method!
In fact, as early as more than ten years ago, news from the East was continuously spreading westward through sea routes... But at the beginning, it was a mess, with everything in it, and there were many distortions and fabrications.
However, in recent years, a group of Westerners who are proficient in Chinese have indeed emerged, as well as Eastern talents who have mastered the Western language.
In this way, a large number of classics were translated and then sent across the ocean to the West.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the sky over Europe is being shrouded by a god of death.
The terrible Black Death is raging, and as many as tens of millions of people have died from this terrible plague.
Interestingly, in this plague, the clergy representing God, in order to appease the poor lambs who were poisoned, themselves were constantly infected with the plague and died one after another.
Their death rate is even higher than that of ordinary people!
God doesn't work anymore!
The cross cannot bless peace...
Something began to collapse, and then something more terrible happened. In order to find an explanation for this plague...someone blamed black cats and started killing cat owners all over the world.
Some people thought it was a witch's curse, and then started a vigorous witch hunt...
All in all, all kinds of ridiculous things have appeared. What didn't exist before is now there. What was there before is now getting worse.
They are more like venting than really solving the problem. In other words, they are not capable of solving the problem.
Just letting out the inner demons is enough.
Chaos, disorder, no self-confidence from top to bottom, including the Holy See, they are also helpless, except for useless prayers and divine angels, no one can save them.
The whole of Europe seems to have been abandoned by God!
When things got to this point, it was almost over all at once.
Unlike the people in the East who work together as one to open up mountains and control floods, this kind of people who place their hope in the favor of the gods and provide them with arks to escape will appear to be even more panicked and helpless in the face of disasters.
The gods had abandoned them, the kings and lords only cared about themselves, and the doctors had no other skill than bleeding.
It is better to go to a doctor for help than to wait for death, at least it will be more dignified.
In this dark era, some books from the East and some businessmen's knowledge were gradually spread to the West.
The effect produced simply exceeded everyone's expectations.
Western scholars read eagerly and did not miss any piece of information.
Soon, a Ming Dynasty that was prosperous, prosperous, peaceful and happy, with no disease, no one hungry, a wise monarch, and was governed by a philosopher king, appeared in the public opinion field of the West.
In their view, there is a powerful emperor in the Eastern world. As the guardian of the country, he protects his country like a god. People regard the king as the son of heaven.
However, in the specific governance process, people will respect the opinions of another philosopher king, and this philosopher king is a recognized teacher throughout the Eastern world and has a special title called "Tai Shi".
In this Eastern world, they are unified, powerful, civilized, rational, treat everyone fairly, do little in favor of corvee, and love peace. They create countless wealth, but do not use this wealth to start wars, but spread the wealth fairly.
Distribute to everyone.
They have unparalleled technological inventions, they have eyes that can look down on the earth, and they can warn of water and fire disasters, as well as all disasters.
In the East, there is no war, no hunger, no plague... everything is like heaven... No, to be precise, the East is heaven!
There is all beauty and all morality there.
A businessman sent Ming Dynasty currency back, and coincidentally, it had Lao Zhu's face on it.
Soon, people regarded this avatar as a god.
Some people actually knelt down and prayed for blessing.
Some people also hired master sculptors and painting experts to make sculptures and paintings based on the portrait, and then enshrined it to pray for blessings.
If Zhang Ximeng knew about it, he would definitely laugh three times. Fortunately, he didn't print his head on the banknotes, otherwise he would end up like Lao Zhu.
And things actually developed in an even weirder direction. It is said that on the night when the sculpture was made, someone dreamed of a god in golden clothes. He told the local nobles to take care of your people and give them food and clean water.
, you will get blessings.
The local nobles really did as they were told in their dreams, and sure enough, not long after, the local Black Death was greatly reduced.
This was even more serious. The surrounding cities were all detonated.
Some people even rushed into the church, took out the cross inside, burned it on the spot, and finally solemnly enshrined Zhu Yuanzhang's statue in it.
What God, we have taken refuge in Emperor Hongwu!
