Chapter 553 Flower Planting Calendar 1589 Years (1)
"What the hell! This unlucky No. 2 bus has finally arrived. These bastards who only know how to waste taxpayers' money are actually 45 minutes late for one bus.
I'll call the prefect's hotline later and make a complaint against these bastards who only know how to get paid but don't know how to work~"
When a second-line car finally appeared in his sight.
Now he is 40 years old. Because his job requires him to work overtime and stay up late for a long time, Zhu Chongba suffers from severe Mediterranean syndrome.
After raising his hand and looking at an old 'Great Wall Brand' mechanical watch on his wrist, he immediately cursed like this in his mouth.
His scoldings were full of a big scolding smell that Hu Biao and others were quite familiar with, or rather friendly to.
However, the constant scolding did not affect Zhu Chongba at all. After he got on the bus quickly from the bus platform, he took out two steel coins worth one yuan from the pocket of his coat and threw them into the empty pot.
In the cash box where tickets are sold.
When two coins with nickel-plated steel cores fell into the cash box smoothly, they fell into the cash box with a clanking sound.
You can see that there is a conspicuous word "One Yuan" on the front.
The portrait on the reverse side is of a woman with her hair pulled up into a high bun; this woman looks exactly the same as the imperial concubine.
After successfully completing the coin operation, Zhu Chongba walked toward the back of the carriage.
During such a process, facing the empty carriage with few people at all, Zhu Chongba didn't care at all.
What's there to be worried about? It's not normal!
Ever since 65 years ago, when the epoch-making "Red Rabbit A" car was exclusively released by the "Da Song Automobile Group".
Because of its affordable price, good controllability, and cheap fuel supply, Rico has become popular throughout the Eastern Continent.
Such an incident is now recognized by everyone as a sign that the era of automobile industry has officially begun.
Now, after so many years, the Song Dynasty has long been called by other small foreign countries, quite sourly: Guo Jia on a wheel.
Zhu Chongba, for example, is from a barely middle-class family, with as many as two cars at home.
Unfortunately, the classic car he had been driving for 11 or 12 years broke down on the last day of the Spring Festival holiday yesterday while he was on his way to his friend Xu Da's house to pay New Year greetings.
After being sent to the car repair shop, because the workers were on vacation, it was said that it would take at least a week to repair it.
What's more unfortunate is that the newspaper office where he works is in a very remote location, and it's hard to even get a taxi. The place where his wife works is not in the same direction.
Due to various coincidences, now I can only barely commute to get off work by taking the No. 2 bus.
After all, there were only a few people who were as unlucky as him, so facing the empty carriage, Zhu Chongba felt quite calm.
After finding a seat and sitting down, he skillfully opened a newspaper.
I planned to use this newspaper published by another newspaper company to pass the time on this journey that was as slow as a tortoise with stops and starts and would take at least forty minutes to complete.
At this moment, you can see the copy of "New Taishan Evening News" in his hand.
The publication time marked is a rather mysterious and puzzling date for Hu Biao and others: the fourth day of the first lunar month, Tuesday, 1589 in the flower calendar.
For such a date, Zhu Chongba still behaved quite calmly.
Because in his mind, that kind of knowledge that is almost common sense knows:
In the 13th year of Maode's reign in the Song Dynasty, according to a suggestion made by Yue Fei and Yue Pengju, the evergreen prime ministers of the imperial court at that time, in the court.
For the convenience of the people, people with low levels of education can calculate the age more easily.
Therefore, while retaining the original chronological method based on the reign of the emperor of the current dynasty, a new chronological method was used to run it simultaneously.
That is to say, the year when Qin Shihuang unified the six countries and gave the people of this land in the East a unified concept for the first time, is the first year of flower planting.
Based on such a calculation method, it continues to accumulate downwards.
The next few years will be called the year of planting flowers.
Because this kind of commemoration method is really more convenient than in the history of previous dynasties, where every emperor would have to change his reign title in just a few years or as many as decades.
too much.
So soon after, everyone became accustomed to saying that this year is "how many years have you been planting flowers" instead of "how many years have you been planting flowers".
Even since the Song Dynasty, in the Celestial Kingdom, which is known as the "sun never sets" on the entire planet, this way of counting has been popularized and has become the most mainstream way.
Of course, it is said that in barbaric places like Europe and in some remote places in the countryside, there is still a remote way of chronological dating like 'A.D.'
However, some old people who believe in "Brother Su" are still insisting on these practices.
Even most of their own young people often don't know this statement.
That is to say, when Zhu Chongba was in college, he took professional courses in Western history and got involved in these side knowledge, and then he knew what the "AD" thing was.
By the way! If we use the AD calendar, this year should be 1368.
Of course, this point is not important, and few people pay attention to this point.
Even, despite the astonishing historical inertia, this person is still called Zhu Chongba, a balding middle-aged greasy man, and he doesn't know that he is in a different timeline.
On this very day, he established his country in Yingtian City, named it Ming Dynasty, and his reign name was Hongwu.
And on the second day of August of the same year, he sent general Xu Da to conquer the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, causing the fall of the Yuan Dynasty and establishing a dynasty that lasted for 16 emperors and had a history of 276 years.
In that timeline, he was the most famous founding emperor in the entire history of flower farming.
In this timeline, he was just the editor of a regional second-rate tabloid, and was often criticized by the editor.
I have to say that the difference between the two is so huge that it is astonishing.
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem too outrageous.
The reason is very simple. Many famous figures in history appeared on the stage of history like heroes due to the special environment at that time, and burst into light that shined for thousands of years.
But in this dimension, due to the emergence of machine guns, the Mongols have long been famous for their hospitality, singing and dancing to welcome tourists to the grassland.
Even the Yuan Dynasty is gone, and this Zhu Chongba has no chance to shout out the famous slogan of "Expelling the barbarians, restoring flower planting, establishing principles and discipline, and relieving the people".
There is no chance to establish the Ming Dynasty...
It was only after sitting at the window seat for less than two minutes that Zhu Chongba took out the newspaper from his briefcase and didn't even read it at all.
From a car horn above his head, a series of prompts in Mandarin with a strong smell of dirt rang out:
Dear passengers, please note that Sunjiatun Zinan is coming soon. Passengers who need to get off the bus should press the parking prompt button in advance and prepare to get off at the back door in advance.
Zhu Chongba had long been used to hearing this kind of Mandarin with a heavy accent.
Even after he opened his mouth, his mouth was filled with the taste of dirt.
However, after hearing the prompt tone from the speaker, he still couldn't help it and frowned heavily.
I was thinking about one thing: Should I call on them in the newspapers to promote standard Mandarin in Australia, at least in Xintai Prefecture?
Otherwise, whether they are on a business trip, studying, or traveling, they will always be ridiculed by the native people of the Song Dynasty for being country bumpkins because of their accent.
The reason for this idea is that the place where Zhu Chongba lives is called Xintai Mansion.
In fact, in another dimension, this place is called Canberra.
But in this space, the famous navigator and maritime strategist Yu Yunwen 229 years ago came to this place called Australia when he made his first voyage around the world.
In the beginning, this area was full of kangaroos and koalas, but only a few natives.
It was just used by the Song Dynasty court as a place of exile for prisoners.
But before 150, the situation changed dramatically.
Because there had been no war in the Song Dynasty for many years, a severe drought suddenly occurred for three consecutive years while the population was booming.
During the natural disaster, the Song Dynasty court transported a large amount of food relief from Annan, Luzon and other places, and no people starved to death.
However, in view of the problem of too many native populations, the imperial court began a prelude to a large-scale development of global immigration.
Every adult man, whether he plans to immigrate to Australia or any other place in North and South America, will be provided with 500 acres of farmland free of charge, and all other cattle, improved seeds, shipping tickets, etc. will be subsidized by the court.
If you go to Beihai, where Su Wu herded sheep, which is a harsher and colder place, then the subsidy will be doubled.
So under such circumstances, a large number of local Song people, with a longing for land in their blood, began to go to sea one after another.
Among them, people from the Song Dynasty in Shandong, northwest and south of Beijing basically chose to come to Australia; people from Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang and other places went to North and South America.
The people who originally lived outside the pass continued to advance towards Beihai where Su Wu herded sheep.
As for the sandy places near the Red Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea and Caspian Sea, no one goes to the places where dogs go.
So after the explosion of the automobile industry and the news that there was an amazing oil storage and distribution there, many people complained about their ancestors and why they didn't go here at that time.
In short, more than a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
At that time, the Song people from Shandong, northwest and south of Beijing, who accounted for the main population, continued to spread their branches in Australia, and now there are more than a dozen state capitals along the coast here.
Their descendants are constantly influenced and integrated by language.
Nowadays, in the entire Australian Autonomous Prefecture, everyone basically speaks Mandarin, which is full of rubbish, and it seems to have become a matter of course...
*******
Needless to say, "New Taishan Evening News" is one of the top three newspapers in the region, if not the first in terms of circulation.
The timeliness and depth of the content.
Compared to Zhu Chongba, the Kommersant that he worked for could only be regarded as a second-rate regional newspaper, but it was much better.
So much so that in the following time, this middle-aged greasy man watched and watched with some fascination.
For example:
First, the largest strike wave in history broke out in the Pudong area of the local capital city.
After going on strike, a total of 200,000 workers from various industries such as shipping, steel, and automobiles took to the streets for a one-day demonstration.
I hope that by using such a method, I can get local practitioners to agree.
They only normally work eight hours a day. If they work overtime, they must pay overtime pay; and they have two weekends a week, and the overtime hours must not exceed fifteen hours.
The entire strike and demonstration process seemed very peaceful, and there was no commotion.
Of course, this kind of situation will only happen in the mainland of the Song Dynasty and the territories of various autonomous prefectures.
Because it is said that on an island surrounded by the North Sea, the English Channel, the Celtic Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, there are small factories that provide primary raw materials for the Song Dynasty.
Some underage workers have to work fifteen or six hours a day, and they are often exhausted to death.
Sorry to the Song people, those John workers cannot be treated as human beings.
Secondly, the temple established by the Guoshijiao in a place called Yaning Peninsula was attacked by some ignorant local mobs and suffered huge damage.
Not only the golden statues of the three national masters, "Rolling Blind", "Tian Xiang" and "White Fox", were destroyed by a mob.
During the conflict, two people died and two were injured during the conflict at the National Teacher Sect's sacrifice. It was such a huge tragedy.
In response to such a situation, a spokesman for the Ministry of Rites told numerous media outlets: The Song Dynasty has always emphasized ‘do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you,’ and respect for everyone’s freedom of belief.
But this is definitely not the Song Dynasty, which can accept the reason for such atrocities.
Therefore, there will be no tolerance for the people and forces who wantonly harm the people of the Song Dynasty, and thunderous methods will soon be implemented.
According to reliable information, the Mediterranean Fleet of the Song Dynasty is already replenishing supplies and preparing for a landing operation on the Yaning Peninsula.
After seeing such an article, Zhu Chongba was not worried at all about the actions of the Mediterranean Fleet.
Because the Song Dynasty had at least half a century of advantages in various industries in terms of technology, craftsmanship, and output, not to mention large-scale equipment such as battleships and propeller aircraft.
It's just that the Marine Corps' equipment has been automated.
If they were faced with a bolt-action rifle and couldn't defeat an opponent whose production was sluggish, then these people would simply wipe their necks clean.
In order to avoid losing it in vain, the majestic Song Dynasty has been invincible in the world for more than two hundred years.
Thirdly, in order to commemorate the 240th anniversary of Empress Maode's accession to the throne and the 200th anniversary of the implementation of the parliamentary constitutional monarchy, the Song Dynasty and overseas states will hold grand celebrations.
Seeing this, Zhu Chongba thought of the life of Queen Maode, and a huge sense of admiration suddenly arose in his heart.
Her Majesty, the second queen in the history of flower cultivation, has been in power for a total of forty years, and the fact that she has never married is not the important point.
The point is, when he abdicated the throne and passed it on to his nephew, who was already in his forties.
With the important officials of the imperial court, with Yue Yun as prime minister at that time, they reached an agreement on a system of implementing a parliamentary constitutional monarchy in the Song Dynasty in the future, so that the supreme imperial power became a symbol from then on.
It also played a key role in the Song Dynasty's absence of turmoil due to dynasty changes over the years.
Fourth, the movie "Young Hu Biao" has received both positive reviews and box office success since its release.
In the latest news released by the organizing committee of the "Fenghua Awards", the world's most grand film award, it won the best actor, leading actress, supporting actor, best costume, photography, script, special effects, etc., a total of 13
Nominations.
According to many film critics, "Young Hu Biao" is a bit of a backstory.
He will definitely become the biggest winner in the 125th ‘Fenghua Awards’.
It was also at this time that Zhu Chongba realized that he had not watched this much-hyped movie for several days after it was released.
It seems that I need to take my wife to visit this weekend.
Fifth, the list of the best awards won by the Song Academy of Sciences in the past year has also been released.
The highest ‘Wolf Blue Award’ was won by Bachelor Zhao Hua because the integrated circuit he developed was of epoch-making significance.
The other equally important "Martial Arts Award" and "Lao Tie Award" were won by two bachelors, Zhang Fu and Xie Ji respectively.
The two of them have made great achievements in intelligent robots, the Internet, etc. respectively.
The above situation of being obsessed with the contents of the newspaper was until Zhu Chongba suddenly heard this sentence in his ears: 'Xinjiekou Station will be arriving soon. If there are any passengers in need, please...'.
Knowing that he was finally sitting and standing, Zhu Chongba quickly stood up.
After pressing a red button with the word "Stop" on the armrest next to the back door, I got off the car about thirty seconds later.
Then he could see that at this point in time, the sky had already darkened.
But the street lights on both sides of the road and the lights coming from the buildings illuminate the whole city brightly.
A city that never sleeps seems more charming at night.
Seeing this beautiful night scene, Zhu Chongba sighed inexplicably: The current Song Dynasty is truly a prosperous age with flowers blooming and burning oil cooking. It is a prosperous age that has not been seen in thousands of years...
