Zhu Biao's life in Dengzhou was the happiest. He could do whatever he wanted in Dengzhou without having to worry about the things that must be done in Yingtian. Zhu Biao's day in Dengzhou was very comfortable.

In the morning, Zhu Biao woke up in his room. There was basically a person around him. Zhu Biao was not a woman.

Compared with women, he still likes himself more. After getting up, he washes his face first. Of course, this washing of face is tap water. Then brushing his teeth, toothpaste and toothbrush have gradually become popular in Dengzhou.

Zhu Biao has always been the trendiest, so of course Zhu Biao used toothpaste and toothbrush early on.

Some people will definitely ask that the ancients had poor teeth protection, but it was not the case. A long time ago, ancient people had different levels of dirt removal methods such as water, potions, tea, salt water to clean the mouth. In the pre-Qin period, people not only had to rinse their mouths early, but also began to rinse their mouths after dinner. There was a kind of etiquette called "Xukou", which was to rinse their mouths with wine before the meal. This noble method was really not affordable for ordinary people. Of course, those rich and nobles were at will.

If ordinary people want to clean their teeth, they need another tool - a toothpick.

In the eyes of historians, toothpicks were originally used by humans to clean the mouth. This is naturally related to its ease of making: whether it is made of metal devices, wooden strips, animal bones, or fish bones, as long as it can cut out food residues between teeth.

Of course, the nobles will also compare in this regard. Toothpicks made of metal, ivory, and withered wood. A metal toothpick was unearthed from tombs during the Eastern Wu period of the Three Kingdoms. Now it seems that they are all precious collections, and in ancient times they were symbols of identity.

People who have no money can only use toothpicks made of wood chips.

The toothbrush is not unique to Zhu Lang. There is an idiom called "Morning Chewing Teeth Wood". In the late Tang Dynasty, people would soak willow branches in water. When they wanted to use it, they would bite open the willow branches with their teeth, and the willow fibers inside would be spread out, like tiny wooden comb teeth, which could be used to clean teeth.

This method of brushing teeth first originated in Buddhism. In the Buddhist scriptures translated in the Western Jin Dynasty, there was a record of Bodhisattvas combing their teeth with water bottles and sunflowers. After using it, "the mouth is fragrant and the square is white and smooth". If there are no willow branches, you can choose locust wood, peach wood, etc.

Unfortunately, the habit of tooth wood comes from India and is not widely circulated in China. Most people still use their hands to pick the teeth to clean them, while the upper-class celebrities like this, after all, it looks much taller.

So when does a toothbrush appear? It is indeed controversial.

The Song Dynasty's "Trift Records" recorded a "toothbrush" made of ponytails. When a Japanese monk Zen Master Daoyuan visited China in 1220, he also saw monks using similar ponytails to brush. In "Yan's Jisheng Fang" in the Southern Song Dynasty, he said that he brushed his teeth with a toothbrush every morning, and wiped his teeth with thick soap juice for tens of days without any tooth disease." At this time, early toothpaste appeared.

During the Tang Dynasty, the production and brushing of toothpaste had begun to be exported to Japan and North Korea, and gradually became part of the living habits of local people.

Although we had a long time to make toothbrushes to clean teeth, this only stayed in the aristocratic and literati class. Many people did not form the habit of brushing teeth. In the first National Day of Love for Teeth in 1989, it was found that nearly 70% of people did not brush their teeth, and nearly 90% of them did not brush their teeth in remote areas in mountainous areas.

Since most of the toothbrushes in ancient China were used in Buddhism, and the bristle brushes were too hard and uneven in size, they had poor comfort in their use. Moreover, the people at the bottom of the class kept the toothbrush away from Buddhist instruments, which also made the toothbrushes lose the momentum to continue to develop.

Fortunately, Zhu Lang has started to promote it now, and the prices of toothpaste and toothbrushes are becoming more and more popular. I hope that in this space, we can change the degree of oral living of the lower class people of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Biao brushed his teeth here and after washing, he was about to squat in the toilet.

As we all know, people naturally have "three urgent issues" when eating grains and grains, but the toilets in ancient times were not as convenient and clean as they are now. Especially our ancestors evolved from apes and men. The original habits were not limited to minor details, and there was no distinction between men and women. If necessary, it would be fine to solve them directly.

However, with the development of the feudal dynasty, as the noble emperor and the noble relatives of the nine fives, naturally, it cannot be so indecent. How did the noble concubines living in the palace go to the toilet?

In fact, even earlier, the ancients used to go to the toilet to be simple and crude, and could be solved anywhere.

However, with the establishment of the feudal dynasty, especially after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the "Book of Zhou" was given more attention to etiquette, so naturally it could not be so indecent. So there was a place specifically used for toilets and covers.

The ancients believed in the idea of ​​"harmony between man and nature". People from the Zhou Dynasty placed a wooden board on a pigpen and squatted on the wooden board to solve the problem. The pigs below could obtain feed.

This method was quite popular at that time, and the concubines of the Zhou emperor were naturally the same. When I think about it, wouldn’t the beautiful beauties squatted in the pigpen and go to the toilet? It was also a bit interesting to think about it.

After King Ping of Zhou moved the capital, all the princes were ready to move. At this time, the "Li of Zhou" was deeper into the bone marrow of the princes, and they all wanted to take the word "Li".

Everyone also felt ashamed, so they naturally could not squat in the pigpen anymore. So a simple toilet with two wooden boards on a large jar appeared. However, such a simple toilet has great disadvantages.

According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Jinggong ate a bowl of thick rice one night and had unbearable abdominal pain. After going to the toilet, he accidentally fell into it. When the servant arrived, Jin Jinggong was already suffocating to death. As the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, it was really a pity that he ended up like this.

After the Han Dynasty,

After Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty improved the "paper making technology", paper gradually entered people's vision. However, ordinary people still cannot afford paper. Not to mention that it is as widely used as it is now, it is impossible to afford paper when going to the toilet.

How did the ancients clean up the toilet before using paper? According to some archaeological institutes, some tombs from the Han Dynasty had toilets built based on the use of the owner during his lifetime.

Perhaps it was because of the lessons of King Jing of Jin, there were handles on both sides of the toilet at this time, so there was no need to worry about getting angry and falling down.

There are also small pieces of bamboo that have been cut and polished smoothly. As for how to use it, you can imagine it yourself. Some also have kettles that can be used for rinsing.

In the Han Dynasty, not only did the "paper making technology" develop, but the textile technology was also very developed. Especially silk fabrics, which can be said to have achieved unprecedented prosperity. Silk fabrics such as silk were sold well along the Silk Road and became a kind of hard currency.

Silk is soft and smooth to the touch, which is much better than the hard and painful bamboo slices. Some high-ranking officials and nobles naturally thought of using silk instead of bamboo slices, but if silk is so precious, it would be too extravagant to throw it away once. Therefore, even the nobles who use silk to use the toilet have no such a prodigal person and are reused.

When the Tang and Song dynasties were in the Tang Dynasty, the toilets were much better. The toilets in the Tang Dynasty were built with grooves and blocked with tiles. In this way, the concubines would at least not have to worry about splashing out when they went to the toilet, and incense would be smoked around to cover up the odor.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, Shi Chong's mansion was extremely extravagant, and Qushui Liushang originated from this. Shi Chong once fought with others for wealth and even created a screen with a luxury.

Such a noble mansion with a preference for the brand is also very luxuriously built.

Legend has it that when you visit Shi Chong Mansion as a guest to the toilet, dozens of young and beautiful girls will be served by you, preparing various incense for the guests, and after you come out, someone will take a bath and change clothes. It is not difficult to see how much the dignitaries pay attention to their appearance.

In the Song Dynasty, the concubines were more convenient than in the Tang Dynasty. At this time, various pots appeared, including wooden, copper, and even gold. We don’t know why a chamber pot is so expensive.

A profession also appeared in the palace, which was to pour room pots regularly. Although it didn’t sound like a good job, it could make a lot of money. At that time, people believed that excrement was also nutritious and could be used to feed livestock, especially in the palace where there was oil and water, which could often be sold at a good price.

Most emperors of the Ming Dynasty liked to use silk to use toilets, but in the late Ming Dynasty, Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty saw that using silk in the palace was a large expense. In order to save money, he ordered that silk should not be used, but paper should be used instead.

At this time, paper was already quite common, and most ordinary people could afford it, but it was only limited to reading and writing, and they still wouldn’t be willing to use paper when going to the toilet.

Compared to silk, paper is already cheap for the royal family, so it was officially switched to paper.

Of course, the toilets in Dengzhou are now toilets, not the kind of dry toilets. After using them, the water will be washed and done directly. This is advanced and developed, and people are willing to live in Dengzhou.

In the past, people in rural areas wanted to move to the city because they wrote it in advance.

After Zhu Biao finished going to the toilet, he had breakfast. After breakfast, Zhu Biao started riding his bicycle and followed him to find Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen to ride together.

The ride is very long, and Zhu Biao does not protect you.

Because Dengzhou is very safe, as long as it is in Dengzhou city, you don’t need to worry about someone robbing you. Zhu Lang has built Dengzhou into a place without a crime rate. Why is this happening? The main reason is that the cost of crime is too high.

As long as you commit a crime in Dengzhou, if this crime is just stealing, you will be sent to the mine as a miner. Hehe... that is a place that will last forever. If you die, you will be unlucky. If you live, you can come back.

But if you commit it again next time, it will be a double penalty.

Because of this, there are really too few criminals in Dengzhou. Who dares to commit crimes? Zhu Biao and his two sons are really happy to ride along the way. For them, such days are the real days.

It was not a day before. When I came to Dengzhou during this period, this was a real good day. Now Zhu Biao has given birth to a bigger bad idea. To be honest, this idea really made Zhu Lang mess with him.

After the three of Zhu Biao and his son finished riding, they went back to rest for a while. It was around noon. After lunch, Zhu Xiongying and Zhu Yunwen went back to play with Zhu Yunhuan and others.

Zhu Lang also has a policy of free-rangeness for his children. He needs to study, but he doesn’t need to be so rigid. Playing is actually a kind of learning, and it is still a good learning.

At this time, Zhu Biao also went to play. He played a lot of games, just to play chess at the chess hall. You should know that Zhu Biao has been instructed by famous teachers since he was a child and has a good talent in playing chess, so he came to the chess club in Dengzhou and became the first one.

Everyone around them called Zhu Biao the god of chess. The feeling of being praised as high and lofty was really good. Zhu Biao liked it very much, so whenever Zhu Biao had time, he would go to play chess. When Zhu Biao came to play chess, everyone came to watch it consciously. As long as Zhu Biao won, it would be a collective cheer.

Zhu Biao likes this feeling and relies on his own strength to cheer the people around him. He can feel his value at this time.

So Zhu Biao likes to play chess here. Of course, people here don’t know Zhu Biao’s true identity. If he knows his identity, it would be better if Zhu Biao doesn’t want this cheer.

However, when Zhu Biao was playing chess happily today, there were also a crowd of spectators around him. He was constantly complimenting Zhu Biao's chess skills. Zhu Biao was very happy, but just halfway through the chess.

Suddenly, someone outside shouted: "Come out and see, why is it so bad this day?"

With this shout, everyone came outside the room. Even Zhu Biao walked out. He didn't know if he didn't look at it. He was really shocked when he saw it. The whole sky turned yellow, and the yellow color was really scary.

Following Zhu Biao, he also saw a group of birds flying from the left side of Dengzhou City to the right side. These strange behaviors did not attract many people's attention, but just to see a new one.

But little did he know that this was a precursor to a disaster.

Maybe God is seeing the development of the Ming Dynasty getting better and better, so it is going to attack the Ming Dynasty.

After seeing the strange celestial phenomena, Zhu Biao returned to the chess hall again. The chess was not finished yet. After the chess was finished, Zhu Biao would go home from the chess hall and go to the casino for a while. Most of the time, Zhu Biao would have supper in the casino. The food in the casino was still very good, so Zhu Biao would come here to eat. Zhu Biao is now the VIP of the casino and can come here to eat for life.

After dinner, Zhu Biao would play in the casino for a while. He didn't want to play anymore, so he went to watch a performance or a firework show. Sometimes, Zhu Lang would come over, but most of the time, Zhu Biao was alone.

Zhu Biao enjoys this lifestyle very much, very free and self-centered, and does whatever he wants. This is the life Zhu Biao wants. Of course, Zhu Biao also has the life he wants in his heart, but he doesn't know if Zhu Biao can complete it.

It was about midnight, and it started to rain lightly in Dengzhou City. The rain was still light at the beginning, but no one knew what was wrong. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and finally it started to rain heavily.

At this moment, Zhu Lang received a very bad news. An earthquake occurred eighty miles north of Dengzhou City, with a quake of more than magnitude 6 and a heavy loss!
Chapter completed!
