Chapter 311 Life is in the bath

The next day, the Charity Foundation's recent accounts were notified in the newspaper, and there was another big topic: The Charity Foundation donated 50,000 jin to the dry areas of Kuizhou.

The amount was personally delivered to the Prime Minister Han Qi of the current dynasty by Gan Qi, and Han Qi personally signed and stamped as evidence.

This is also a routine matter and is responsible to many donors.

Han Qi took the money and would first exchange it for food, and then the Privy Council sent someone to escort it, and handed over it along the road by the transfer yamen to Kuizhou.

After doing this, Gan Qi continued to live his life of hanging his head and stabbing his thighs.

After all, money and food for disaster relief are not something that can be solved by more than 100,000 yuan. Han Qi still has to raise money everywhere. The solution that Han Qi can think of is to go to the yamen and yamen. It is somewhat of a bit of a desire for others everywhere. Even if Han Qi is the prime minister, even if Han Qi is very powerful, in the Renzong Dynasty, the prime minister was far from reaching the point where he could cover the sky with one hand.

Many of the literati of the Song Dynasty were really strong and would try to avoid a reputation of "flattery". Regardless of the size of the official position, they were pursuing an attitude of neither humble nor arrogant. This was a reputation for the Qing Dynasty, which also made it not so comfortable to be a high-ranking official in the Song Dynasty.

Is Wen Yanbo's official position high? Is the Sansi envoy's official position high? In the Song Dynasty, such a high official would fall if he said he had fallen, and he didn't even need to go through any truly fierce political struggles. Just slandering could knock down such a high official. The Renzong Dynasty was probably the easiest period for high officials in all dynasties to fall.

Sometimes people who are used to complain about the literati of the Song Dynasty are actually unfair to complain too much. The literati of the Song Dynasty still have advantages. For example, the Song Dynasty really produced some very capable officials and also produced very backbone literati, such as Wen Tianxiang.

There were really not a few people like Wen Tianxiang. When the Song Dynasty was destroyed, there were as many as 100,000 people who died in the country on Yashan. Among them, military and civilians were the main ones, and there were also literati. At that time, the literati were also full of tears and sadness, and hundreds of them jumped into the sea. The corpses floating on the sea were layer by layer. In Wen Tianxiang's poem, it was called "the death is as chaotic as tragedy."

Perhaps it was because he saw this scene with his own eyes that he became more determined to show his ambitions by dying.

The backbone of the country and the nation is undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

The Song Dynasty still has its merits. The main reason for the sorrow of the Song Dynasty is that there is a problem with its top-level design.

Han Qi begged his grandfather and grandma everywhere, and it was not easy to get some money. This matter could not be resolved. He was afraid that he would be the prime minister for a few more days.

Perhaps this is also the advantage of Emperor Renzong Zhao Zhen. After decades of the emperor, more than 100 prime ministers were like a blissful prime minister. Whoever can't do it can be changed is changed. No one can think of covering the sky with his hands, and no one can think of living a life.

Now even Fu Bi has begun to retire, and now he is a Grand Secretary of Zhaowenguan. His responsibilities are to study history and retire, and he still plays his remaining energy in his work of studying history.

The weather is getting colder and winter is coming.

The construction period of Ganqi's hot spring hotel is getting tighter and tighter, and Ganba continues to recruit craftsmen on the wharf to rush to work.

The hotel has not been fully completed, but many places have been completed.

The hot spring pool is stepped down one by one, and there are also small channels to guide them into the small pools of elegant residences everywhere.

Ganqi is probably the first person to enjoy a hot spring hotel.

Those who accompanied Gan Qi to take a hot spring bath were Zhao Zonglan and Zhang Shuyuan, and other families were in a large group of Yingying and Yanyan in another small pond in the elegant residence.

Gan Qi is the most enjoyable. After running for a while, his body becomes hot, he will lie on the small couch on the shore, and then ask Zhang Shuyuan to slowly rub his back with a cloth towel.

The dirt and keratin were rubbed and rolled around, and Zhang Shuyuan complained: "Why is Gan Lang so dirty?"

"Dirty? Am I dirty?" Gan Qi had a pursuit of hygiene, but an ancient man said that it was dirty, which Gan Qi could not bear.

In fact, the ancient Chinese people were really not dirty. They were able to wash their hair, brush their teeth frequently, clean their faces frequently, and even take baths. The court even had to stipulate when you take a bath, and they would take a bath on holidays. There were special toilets at home. Of course, this was about having a family and the real working people at the bottom. This would be much worse.

The most direct reflection of the level of medical and health lies in the population. In many periods, Europe's population was less than one-tenth of that of China during the same period. It was not until the great voyage began, the Renaissance began, and even the industrial revolution began, that the population of Europe really exploded, but it was not as good as China's population level during the same period.

In addition, large-scale plagues often break out in Europe, and some plagues can directly take away one-third of the population of the entire European continent.

In comparison, plagues often break out in China, but China has never had a large-scale outbreak. Plagues are always small and will be controlled in time.

It can be seen that the hygiene level in ancient Europe was low. Even in the Napoleon era, the hygiene level in Europe was still unsightly. There were no toilets in the aristocratic castles. When Napoleon went to the palace for a meeting, he could only urinate in the stairwell of the castle. You can imagine what kind of smell would float in the palace castles in Europe.

There is also the so-called ancient civilization in India, let alone the concept of family toilets has not been popularized in later generations.

What can be compared with China in history is actually the *** world.

If we really want to talk about the height of history and culture, in ancient times, the world of *** also beats the believers of God. This is also the reason why everyone in Europe later began to brag about ancient Greece, and regarded ancient Greece as the cultural ancestor of the entire Europe. In fact, most of them are European nations and countries, and have no relationship with ancient Greece, but they have to brag about a relationship of one hundred yuan, and they all brag themselves into personal disciples of ancient Greece, in order to explain that they were not barbarians’ rise.

Gan Qi, who enjoys the back rub service, is so comfortable. The hot spring is really a gift from God. As long as you have been to the hot spring, you will never forget the hot spring.

Ganqi has no doubt that hot spring hotels can make money.

Gan Qi, who was enjoying the back rub service, suddenly had a flash of his mind. Should he open a special official area? Officials are the group that specializes in taking baths on holidays. In this era, holidays are called Xiumu. What is Xiumu? They are specifically for you to go home and take baths.

The rest system has formal regulations since the Western Han Dynasty. In the Western Han Dynasty, officials had to take a bath every five days and go home to take a bath. The Song Dynasty was even more pleasant. The rest and statutory holidays could take a rest for more than 100 days a year. Of course, this was not how much more rest, but it was reduced to 100 days of rest. Instead, there were more and more legal holidays in the Song Dynasty, and even the summer solstice and the beginning of spring would be on holidays.

It seems that the official area is very necessary. Life lies in taking a bath!
