Chapter 96 Technology

Tang Qing was also very happy when she saw the cheongsam.

No woman can resist a beautiful cheongsam.

"The workmanship is incredible," Tang Qing said. "I saw the clothes you were wearing before and I really liked them. I even thought about buying two sets of men's clothes."

Thinking of paying Jun Qiulan's master's wife to make two more sets.

Later I thought about it and it wasn’t appropriate.

This is considered a custom-made outfit. There is only one like this in the world. How could it be wrong for a dancer like her to wear the same outfit as Jun Qiulan?

Especially in the Internet age, information spreads so quickly that it is hard to predict what will happen to it after it is passed around.

I simply never brought it up.

Unexpectedly, after such a long time, I still received an unexpected surprise.

"I like it so much. Thank you. Thank you, Master's wife, for me, too."

This cheongsam is all handmade from cutting to sewing, and then to the embroidery. She really knows what she is doing.

Making two cheongsams like this must have taken a lot of time and money, especially since the material is so unique.

It's soft yet stylish, not too limp nor too hard.

Seeing how Teacher Tang couldn't let go of it, Jun Qiulan felt relieved and happy at the same time.

Yan Jing said quietly beside her, "Sister-in-law, if you like these two cheongsams so much, my brother will be jealous, right?"

Alarm bells rang in Jun Qiulan's heart.

It was his negligence.

I used to think that the world didn't have such strict distinctions between men and women, and that it was normal for people of the opposite sex to make friends and give each other gifts.

Perhaps it was because the women nowadays were different from the ones he had met before. Tang Qing lived a carefree and comfortable life, which led him to ignore the fact that Tang Qing was a married woman.

It does seem inappropriate to rashly give clothes to a married woman.

Tang Qing didn't want to make things so complicated. She glared at Yan Jing and said, "I think you're the one who's jealous. What's the matter? Haven't you received any gifts from Lanlan?"

Yan Jing was choked.

Tang Qing didn't let him go. "I teach Xiao Lanlan how to dance, so we are a master and a disciple, right? He gave me two sets of clothes as a gift. Isn't that normal?"

Yan Jing held his forehead: "That's what I said wrong."

Jun Qiulan couldn't help laughing. It was indeed true. In his opinion, he was a teacher for a day.

It is normal to give a dance teacher two sets of clothes.

"Okay, enough rambling." Tang Qing looked at Jun Qiulan and said, "Go change your clothes. Let me see how your basic skills are going and whether you've been in touch recently."

Jun Qiulan nodded, and when she came back after changing her clothes, Yan Jing had already slipped away.

He was a little surprised.

Tang Qing explained, "He needs to go to the etiquette and behavior learning area to monitor it. He might come over later."

Jun Qiulan nodded, "Then shall I start practicing the basics first?"

"Of course, when you learn a dance later, you can't neglect your daily basic skills."

This is what should be done.

Since returning from his last study session, Jun Qiulan has almost never stopped practicing basic skills.

When the teacher checked his results, his performance made Teacher Tang nod his head repeatedly.

Tang Qing had always felt that Jun Qiulan was very talented, but the practice time was too short and she couldn't make a fair judgment. Now, she is even more certain of Jun Qiulan's talent.

She is indeed a good candidate for dancing.

Tang Qing applauded: "Very good, I can see you didn't slack off."

Jun Qiulan chuckled, "I dare not be lazy, otherwise Director Yan will have to replace me."

"You're saying bad things about me while I'm away, right?" Yan Jing heard these words as soon as he entered the door.

Tang Qing laughed heartily. "Don't worry, you passed the audition and the dance assessment. Unless you're exposed for serious scandals, there's no chance of replacing the actor."

Previously, it was because it was too difficult to find an actor to play the role of Jun Qiulan, which led to the film not being able to start.

I think it was fate that I met such a great actor like Jun Qiulan.

Tang Qing sometimes wondered if the film would be postponed indefinitely if she couldn't find a suitable role.

Jun Qiulan also chuckled: "There's no other way. I really don't want to miss Director Yan Jing's movie, so I naturally have to practice harder."

Yan Jing raised his eyebrows: "I remember that someone rejected me many times in a row before."

Jun Qiulan choked up, "You said you wanted to do some kind of seductive dance, but that's still too much for me."

Yan Jing was helpless. He looked at Tang Qing and then at Jun Qiulan.

Then he sighed and said, "You've read the script, and you should know what kind of role you play. You should also know the time and scene of that scene. The word 'flirting' is really hard to avoid."

Jun Qiulan nodded: "Don't worry, I'm mentally prepared."

When he went to learn dancing before, he thought to himself that as long as it was not the kind of borderline dance seen in short videos, other dances that were charming and seductive could be performed.

Later, after passing the audition, Yan Jing sent him the revised script, and he thought the character was very good.

Reborn in forbearance.

If put into novels, it would be beautiful, strong and miserable.

Based on the character's personality, what kind of dance will he perform? In the scene where he is "sold", how will he present himself and achieve his goal?

It's all necessary for the plot.

For someone like him, it was just a slightly enchanting dance, not a sex scene.

Jun Qiulan had repeatedly confirmed with Yan Jing about the sex scene, and there was definitely no sex scene.

Yan Jing also said that unless the plot really requires it, he would not shoot sex scenes to attract attention.

Tang Qing: "Okay, let's not waste any more time. After I taught you how to dance last time, I choreographed a new dance. However, Yan Jing couldn't make up his mind, so you have to learn both dances and learn them well. As for which dance will be used, we'll probably have to wait until we're filming to see your expression in the camera, as well as the scene and your emotions at the time."

Jun Qiulan nodded: "I understand."

Teaching begins.

Tang Qing demonstrated it first. She danced both dances and the feeling was still very different, but Jun Qiulan couldn't put it into words.

All in all, both dances are very beautiful.

Soft, charming, and delicate.

But there is a sense of character hidden inside.

It is the unyielding backbone of this character.

It was much better than the level of coquettishness he had ever imagined, and it also greatly reduced his psychological pressure.

After all, my parents are waiting to see it in the future.

Jun Qiulan immersed himself in the role as he watched.

I still feel like I can't quite wrap my head around it.

Yan Jing watched from the side: "Let's learn the dance first. It's not too late to study the rest after the filming starts."

Jun Qiulan nodded.

From that day on, he plunged into learning dance.

The difficulty of this dance is much higher than the last time when I just wanted to pass the audition.

In order to ensure the perfection of the details of the film, Tang Qing was also very strict with Jun Qiulan's studies.

But the most strict one was Yan Jing.

I have learned half of the first dance, but it still does not meet Yan Jing's requirements.

"Your eyes are not right. They are too powerful. It doesn't look like you are dancing, but like you are about to take up your sword and go into battle."

Jun Qiulan held his forehead and said, "Let me think about it."

Yan Jingzhi nodded: "There's no rush, take your time."

He didn't plan to shoot the whole thing in one take.

Maybe every shot needs to be polished over and over again.

Let’s learn the dance moves first.

Yan Jing thought for a moment and asked, "Have you never been to a place of entertainment?"

Jun Qiulan was completely shocked: "What?"

Yan Jing felt that his question was in vain.

He opened his mouth and wanted to suggest that Jun Qiulan might go to some entertainment venues, but Jun Qiulan was young, what if he learned bad things after going there?

He simply shut up.

"I'll give you two days off. Go and get some experience. Visit more ancient entertainment venues and see what the characters there look like and how they move."

Just one sentence scared Jun Qiulan.

He visited more ancient entertainment venues and almost thought Yan Jing knew he had traveled through time.

If you think about it carefully, it should be to let him go and see the entertainment venues in costume TV dramas.

He said, "I understand. I will find my form as soon as possible."

Yan Jing: "I am very demanding, but this is also to interpret this role more perfectly."

The young master was sent to the Jiaofangsi by the new emperor in order to humiliate him.

He was indeed unyielding, but the circumstances forced him to yield at that moment, otherwise his surviving family members might be in danger.

So this scene is very important.

The character's emotions are also very complex, but the moment he stands on the stage, he must be 'assimilated'.

Yan Jing broke it down and told it to Jun Qiulan slowly.

Jun Qiulan also listened carefully.

He hadn't yet tackled a role with such emotional and complex characters.

"Go back and rest." Yan Jing said, and smiled. "You have to have a balance between work and rest. Sometimes you get stuck in a dead end and it's impossible to get out of it."

Jun Qiulan understood this truth.

It just so happened that he also had something to do.

There are two new educated youth in the village. My father has been in contact with them these days. These two are much better than the previous scholar Zhang.

He is very humble and patient in teaching students.

Moreover, unexpectedly, both of them are from business backgrounds.

After Jun Qiulan talked to Duan Wen last time, this re-selection was no longer limited to family background or even fame.

Those who can pass the Duanwen test must also complete a test paper given by Jun Qiulan.

This test paper is to test one's character.

The types of questions in it are basically the problems that you might encounter when you are teaching in the village as an educated youth.

Let everyone talk about what they think or what they will do when faced with these problems.

From the content of their answers, we can see many problems.

Although this still cannot completely avoid the problems they are worried about, after all, there will definitely be people who deliberately cater to these problems and the answers that the examiners want.

After all, it is better than just reading knowledge.

The two people who came from their village this time were both wealthy people in the city, and they were both the youngest sons of their families.

In this era, unless the eldest son is incapable of doing important things, it will not be the turn of the youngest son to inherit the family property.

Now that the government has issued this policy, it can be regarded as giving them a new way out.

After all, he was a government employee. He was a teacher appointed by Magistrate Duan. Although he was not an official, he could be considered a minor official.

This also led to the two young men who came to their village being very motivated.

He is not very old, but he seems to have endless energy every day.

In addition to teaching the children in the village school to read, he would take time every day to go to the threshing ground and ask the village head to gather the villagers so that everyone could study together.

And those who are poor and cannot send their children to school all come here.

Children are also the focus of their care.

Under the guidance of the two teachers, the children who were originally studying in the village school also spontaneously joined the crowd to teach their uncles and aunts.

For a while, the learning atmosphere in the village was very strong.

As for the original Li Xiucai, he also took the exam under Jun Yu's persuasion, and was then assigned to the next village.

It’s not far from home and I can go home every day.

After returning home, the three scholars can share their teaching experiences with each other.

Everything is moving in the right direction.

Jun Qiulan got two days off and didn't have to study, so he planned to finish the things on hand quickly.

I can't always go out at night to meet these comrades who have joined them.

Also, all the books that I promised to buy for the comrades have arrived.

That’s not all.

Because there were so many books given away this time, Jun Qiulan personally read through the books after they arrived, and tore out or altered any inappropriate parts.

They do need advanced ideas, but they cannot take too big a step at once.

As for those publishing houses and publishing addresses, they should be crossed out if necessary.

Although you won't find another book exactly like it in this world, try to avoid it if you can.

There are also walkie-talkies for Duan Wen and Mr. Su.

This thing is indeed necessary to prepare.

Sometimes, there are just a few things to talk about, but communication is inconvenient, so you still have to go out and find the other party in person.

It’s much more convenient with a walkie-talkie.

Greatly saves communication costs.

Jun Qiulan thought that after the educated youth who would be assigned to the post were "brainwashed" by the propaganda officers, they could also be prepared to go.

In addition to making it convenient for them to contact the educated youth and convey news and government orders in a timely manner.

Another point is that the villages in the border town are under threat from outside.

The border of the border town is not as tightly guarded as that in the other world.

The Rong and Di people outside the Great Wall might get a sudden impulse at any time and send a small group of people to sneak in, then sneak into the village to burn, kill and loot.

Under the leadership of Huo Lan, the villagers also organized and trained a self-defense security team.

If the enemy is small in number, they can still deal with it, but what if it is large?

Then we have to notify Huo Lan in time so that he can send troops to rescue in time.

The only problem is the electricity problem.

In a place close to the city, Jun Qiulan can also ask Duan Wen to set up a room specifically for everyone to charge. If the use is not frequent, it will be no problem to last for five or six days. Going to the city to charge once every five or six days is a bit troublesome, but it can be done.

But what about the villages and towns that are farther away?

Use batteries?

Perhaps this is the most appropriate method.

When Jun Qiulan was carrying the things to the city, he was still thinking about this problem. In fact, the best solution was for them to generate electricity themselves.

The principle of power generation is not difficult.

Hydropower, wind power, and solar power are all achievable.

Now I have to rely on the comrades who were interested in physics before.

Jun Qiulan went directly to Su Changxun's courtyard.

Now that there are more people and there is not enough space, Yan Su bought the yard next door.

To provide a place for these new comrades to live and even study.

Jun Qiulan came in carrying several large boxes. The servant Liu Tong saw it and quickly took them.

"Master Jun, why don't you buy an extra donkey cart and an ox cart?"

Every time I went into the city, I walked there by myself.

It’s not far, but it’s inconvenient because I have to carry too many things.

Jun Qiulan smiled. The donkey cart at home was currently being used by his parents and Song Yan. He didn't go out much, so he hadn't thought about buying another animal.

But I'm a little tired after carrying so many books and walkie-talkies today.

Liu Tong quickly served Jun Qiulan some tea. "The master has gone to the next room and will be back soon. You should take a rest for a while. If you need anything, just let me know."

Jun Qiulan: "Just call me Comrade, Comrade Liu, and don't call yourself that."

Liu Tong also laughed: "Master told us everything, but we just haven't gotten used to it in a short time."

The master said that in the future the world will be equal for all, and even servants will have to live with dignity.

Liu Tong actually didn’t understand.

Mr. Su treated them like a teacher and a father. Although they were servants in name, they were actually no different from his sons-in-law.

Dignity, they don’t feel that they have no dignity.

Maybe it's because the circumstances are different, Liu Tong thought to himself. It's because the master is kind that they can be servants with dignity. The servants in other mansions don't have such treatment.

If you meet a good master, as long as you work diligently, you will not be beaten or scolded.

If the host has a bad temper, even if you stay away from him, you may still make him angry and become his punching bag.

Why……

I used to be used to it and didn’t think anything of it.

But things will definitely be different in the future.

Liu Tong respects Mr. Su and Mr. Jun from the bottom of his heart.

A world where everyone is equal, everyone can have enough food to eat and wear new clothes is something to yearn for.

Liu Tong even thought that if he could really achieve such an ideal world, he would be willing to give everything for it, even his life.

Su Changxun came back soon.

Following behind were the comrades I met last time.

"Comrade Jun."

Everyone greeted each other with a bow as a sign of age.

Jun Qiulan also returned the gift.

This kind of social etiquette is actually very good, and there is really no need to completely get rid of it.

Those who kneel down at every turn are feudal dregs and need to be eliminated.

Jun Qiulan didn't waste any words. He had other things to do today, so he came to deliver the things and then tell them how to use them and some follow-up arrangements.

The electric fan was in shaking mode, but both the person speaking and the person listening were nodding their heads continuously.

Express agreement and also express surprise.

The electric fan had already given them a great shock, but they didn’t expect that there was such a good thing as a walkie-talkie.

This made Su Changxun speechless.

This thing is really amazing, but where did it come from?

How bizarre is Jun Qiulan’s adventure?

Jun Qiulan looked at Mr. Su and smiled. "Right now, we need to focus on development. These technologies are just borrowed. We still have to rely on our own research in the future."

He taught everyone how to use it.

"If something happens in the future, everyone can just call each other on the intercom and receive the news, which also facilitates communication."

All the comrades nodded stupidly.

There was no way around it. The impact of this walkie-talkie was simply too great for them.

It's different from the previous fan.

For example, one of them had studied Mohist mechanical techniques, and after reading it, he had a general understanding of it.

It can also be considered a kind of mechanical technology.

It's because this item is precious that there's no way for him to take it apart for research. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to find the trick and make it himself in the future.

But this walkie-talkie is completely different.

In ancient myths, immortals could transmit messages over thousands of miles using magic.

Walkie-talkies are not as scary as transmitting sound over thousands of miles, but what principle do they use to transmit sound?

Jun Qiulan sighed and explained a few more words: "Transmitting messages through electromagnetic waves. I can't explain exactly what these electromagnetic waves are. I should be able to find the answer in these books."

He took out the basic physics book.

Then he continued, "Fans and walkie-talkies are collectively called electrical appliances. The most important component of any of them is electricity. If you're interested in this field, you might want to start by studying electricity. Otherwise, even if you develop an electric fan or walkie-talkie, they won't work without electricity."

electricity.

Do you apply the power of thunder and lightning in your life?

Isn’t this also a magical method?

Jun Qiulan continued, "The application of electricity is indeed very extensive. If there is sufficient electricity, we can also research electric lights and fans that can generate air. Naturally, we can also have small solar panels that can generate heat using electricity, or we can use electricity to wash clothes and cook."

Nowadays, people know very little about electricity, so he can only give some simple examples.

But these simple examples have once again made everyone fall into amazement and unable to extricate themselves.

This electricity seems too magical.

"We will study the matter of electricity carefully." The comrades, who were already curious about these natural phenomena, stroked the books in front of them, almost as if they had found a treasure.

All Jun Qiulan can say now is that the seeds of technology have been planted, and time will tell whether they will blossom and bear fruit.

He just couldn't believe it. Couldn't they copy the homework and get full marks?

After talking about electricity, he took out all the books of the law.

Law, Civil Code.

Jiang Lu is a talented person who excels in law, and is well versed in all laws, both ancient and modern. "A few days ago, Comrade Duan also invited me to discuss the issue of amending the laws of Border Town. So far, only a brief outline has been issued, and it is not complete."

Jun Qiulan knew about this matter because he told Senior Brother Duan about it.

"These books are probably the laws of another world. Comrade Jiang might be able to use them as a reference. Remember, the importance of law lies in fairness and justice."

Jiang Lu: "I understand."

Nowadays, many laws are indeed unfair.

For example, if a man and a woman have an affair after getting married, this matter is basically handled secretly by the family and rarely ends up in court.

However, any case that goes to court will never be a fair verdict.

For example, if a man has a mistress, the law does not regulate it. For some people, it can even be considered a romantic affair and a topic of conversation at the dinner table.

Unless the person he is having an affair with is a married woman, then the man will be required to compensate the woman's husband according to certain circumstances.

Most of the compensation is monetary.

But the same thing happens differently when it happens to a woman.

A woman had an affair outside and took the case to court. The man wanted her to be kicked out of bed, implying that she was unfaithful and unclean, and the case was almost indiscriminate.

Even if the woman was forced or threatened and had to compromise in order to save her life, everyone would think that the woman was unfaithful and that it was the woman's problem.

Same thing, different judgment.

It's really unfair.

In particular, Jiang Lu understood their current spirit and the path they took on their journey.

Everyone is equal, and the equality is not just for scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans, not just for the good and the bad, but most importantly, for men and women.

This world is made up of men and women. It doesn't make sense that men should have the advantage in everything.

He shared some of his insights with Jun Qiulan.

Jun Qiulan couldn't help nodding as he listened. This Lawyer Jiang was really interesting.

He discussed the legal issues with Senior Brother Duan, and the final version had to be approved by him.

It's not for anything else, it's just one problem: their laws were drafted by men.

As a man, it is indeed difficult to put yourself in the shoes of another gender and consider the problem.

Even Jun Qiulan himself couldn't do it completely.

All we can say is that through the law, we can gradually impose constraints and improve the treatment of women. At least in the same case, the punishment for men and women should be the same. This is fair.

He really didn't expect that Lawyer Jiang had already considered this issue.

"I hope Comrade Jiang will study these books carefully."

"I understand, and I will definitely live up to Comrade Jun's instructions and expectations."

Some other books were also given to them.

Everyone gains something.

This is a brand new book.

When I opened the book, I found that the words were missing some parts.

They were mentally prepared for this matter, as Mr. Su had already told them about it.

They even feel that such simplified characters seem more suitable for promotion among the people.

As the strokes become simpler, the difficulty of learning will naturally be reduced.

But unfortunately, not many people have fully learned simplified Chinese characters now.

If they rely on just a few people, they will not only learn simplified Chinese characters, but also need to train a group of teachers who can go to the people to teach and preach.

It took a bit too long.

Take your time.

First improve the literacy level of the entire population and then develop further.

In short, this matter has been written down in their memorandum, and it will definitely be implemented when the time is ripe.

After Jun Qiulan explained the books, the intercom, and the subsequent arrangements and instructions, he did not stay any longer.

He also has to take care of his own things.

acting.

Yan Jing gave him two days off so that he could watch scenes from brothels in TV dramas.

Others are living in ancient times, do we still need to watch TV dramas?

Wouldn’t it be more realistic to go directly to the site for an inspection?

In fact, Jun Qiulan was also struggling with a problem.

It’s about the rectification of the brothel and Nanfeng Pavilion.

In another world, such occasions are illegal and sex trade is not allowed.

But their situation is different now.

There's more to consider.

If these places are forcibly closed, what will happen to the girls and boys in them?

The public's acceptance of them is not very high nowadays, even though they are all forced.
