Chapter 007 Touched by mutual learning

Because the cave was burned yesterday, a small beast was burned to death, which made Zhao Xing no longer busy with food today and could do other things.

"The reason why humans evolved and developed is sufficiently reflected in this little beast. Only by hunting and being able to hunt large animals can we free up time from the problem of eating, do other things, think and create. The reason why animals have not evolved is because they are busy hunting all day long and have no time to think. Thinking is the fundamental difference between humans and animals." While playing with a pile of mud, they continue to educate Zhao Yong in a nagging manner.

As a teacher, Zhao Xing is actually unqualified. He has no textbooks, no lesson plans, and no experience or system. He simply says wherever he thinks. Anyway, he has the advantage accumulated over thousands of years. He can make people of this era feel deafening and sudden enlightenment.

Zhao Yong squatted beside him and watched Zhao Xing tinker. "The teacher is right. Only when we use the shortest time and eat the meal that can last for the longest time can the monarch have more time to deal with government affairs, the ministers and literati have more time to manage the people for the monarch, and the people have more time to work. Only in this way can a country's national strength be strengthened and ultimately dominate the world."

This is the reason why the butt determines the head.

Zhao Xing wanted to educate people, and this guy who should be a hero of a generation can be involved in politics in everything. In other words, Zhao Yong's thinking is also considered an occupational disease.

Then when the mud in Zhao Xing's hand slowly turned into something that looked like a tripod but not a tripod, he asked curiously: "Master, is this a tripod? But why doesn't it look like it?"

Zhao Xing was proud of his works, so he changed from exploring evolution to pragmatism. "You can call this tripod, but I call it a stove." Then he wrote a simplified Chinese stove on the ground next to him with a branch.

Zhao Yong can't understand.

Stoves have been available in China for a long time. Because Chinese people basically eat rice and grains and do not like pasta, cooked food is generally not easy to preserve and must be cooked at any time. Unlike Western bread, many can be baked at one time and preserved for consumption.

So for Chinese people, "fire" is the first important thing in life (fire, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea). Without fuel, even if there is basic food, there is no way to eat it. In the West, it is enough to have only one bread stove in a village, and in China, every family must have a stove.

"This is the result of my no longer hunting, wasting time and thinking for the two of us." Then I pointed to my square thing, with a pot above and a square table below, a large mouth in the front and a small mouth in the back, which looked like a stove.

"I found that the cooking utensils you usually use as a cooking utensil or a three-legged carrier, which is quite consuming firewood. Since it is a dispersed fire, the utilization rate of fire is quite low. In this way, it takes a lot of effort to make a meal and smoke. It costs firewood, which means that there is a special person who spends a long time chopping firewood, which is not only not environmentally friendly, but also wastes people's time thinking. Environmentally friendly? Ah, this has nothing to do with the topic we are talking about, don't care about the details. But what I'm doing now can allow the fire to be fully absorbed and speed up the cooking speed. What is full absorption? This has nothing to do with the issues we are talking about now, don't care about these details."

Zhao Yong understood, so he pointed to the strange guy and said, "You said this is a stove, this is what the word is written--" So he wrote a Zhao Kingdom's stove next to the simplified Chinese character "Zhu".

The characters used by Zhao State were simplified forms that evolved on the basis of the Zhou Dynasty's large seal script. They have more local characteristics and have a strong handwritten meaning. In fact, the Warring States Magistrates at that time all had their own unique characters, collectively called "Seven Kingdoms Characters". The characters of Zhao State were actually the simplest and easy to remember, and were closer to the small seal script of later generations.

Zhao Xing tilted his head and looked carefully, and tried hard to remember his complicated strokes. This is an excellent opportunity to learn contemporary characters and must not be missed. After all, his simplified characters are not known to oracle bone scripts or literati from various countries. It is a huge project to let them finally know and accept their simplified characters.

However, Zhao Xing discovered that ancient Chinese characters actually had a familiar context with the simplified Chinese characters of later generations, and it was this context that made him feel a sense of intimacy and familiarity when facing this complicated font.

At this time, he suddenly felt like crying, because it was this familiar feeling that made him still understand this font in two thousand years, and he had an inseparable sense of integration between himself in the future and himself in the current two thousand years.

How lucky it is to continue to truly feel the thoughts of his ancestors for two thousand years. Which nation in the world is so lucky? For the so-called public intellectuals who advocate Chinese characters, Zhao Xing is ready to stand at the height of history and yell at them loudly: "Don't let your mother's farts. Now I am standing in the position of your absolute ancestor, and I am ready to strangle your unworthy descendants to death."

Of course, after being moved by crying and roaring, I still felt the generation gap of two thousand years.

Since the mountain cannot be my only, I will go to the mountain. This is the open-minded way to survive. Fortunately, in China, such words have not been cut off. Many self-righteous calligraphers are still willing to write such ancient words to show their knowledge and cultivation. Many shops also like to use this words to demonstrate the background of their shops. As for how many customers are discouraged because of the cold and cold words, they don’t seem to think much about it because of the toilet or restaurant.

Then I looked at the ugly things I had done and nodded with satisfaction: "This is done. I am a small-sized stove that can be moved. At that time, I will use fire to calcinate it and make it a pottery, and then when we set off, we can carry it on our back. We can eat hot food on the long road in the future. At that time, a handful of wild vegetables can fill our stomachs. It saves time for hunting and picking, and gives us more time to rush."

A so-called casual donkey journey that can be said to be a good way to commit suicide. To be a qualified hiker and travel through the wilderness, you must be well prepared. Now, Zhao Xing is making such preparations. He cannot joke about the life of a future imperial master or a future emperor of the age.

That's not cost-effective and reckless.
