You are the one who is most important, right? You can die later, right?
He couldn't even compose a complete poem, and could only utter sentences one by one.
He is simply a poet!
Everyone is in high spirits, and you suddenly blurt out this half sentence. How can others recite it?
Can’t chant!
To chant again would be to bring disgrace upon oneself...
Emperor Jing was quite interested and admired Fang Zhengyi even more.
He can compose beautiful sentences readily, and his poetic talent surpasses all other officials!
It's a pity that although the level is high, the problem of only half of it can't be corrected...
The waterfall in the building is still gushing out.
The rhythm of reciting poems was disrupted by Fang Zhengyi, so everyone could only appreciate this rare spectacle in silence.
Suddenly Li Yuanzhao shouted, "I know! Pump, there is a pump upstairs, right?"
Fang Zhengyi said in a clear voice: "Your Highness is very smart. There is a water pumping unit modified from a steam engine on the thirteenth floor of the building. The waterfall upstairs just now was pumped from the pond downstairs to the upper floor and then released."
"So that's how it is." All the officials suddenly realized, but they felt a sense of loss in their hearts.
What a magnificent and breathtaking scene.
But once the principle behind it was revealed, that mysterious and romantic feeling disappeared in an instant.
Everyone is familiar with the steam engine, and we have also heard a lot about the equipment derived from it.
Fang Zheng explained the water pumps one by one, and everyone naturally knew what was going on.
Although the beautiful scenery is still there, it is now missing a bit of flavor and soul....
Fang Zheng also saw the clue as soon as he saw it.
However, he was not surprised by the emperor and his officials' reaction.
Human beings are very mean animals. Once they know too much about something, the mystery will disappear and they will immediately feel that the thing is mediocre and loses its appeal.
As the saying goes, distance makes beauty, and it is absolutely true.
Modern smartphones are everywhere, people can communicate with each other over long distances and even make video calls. One atomic bomb can kill hundreds of thousands of people, and satellites are flying all over the sky.
The garbage that modern people throw away and the backward technology that they abandon are all products of gods in the eyes of the ancients.
But many people always have an indifferent or even dismissive attitude towards those technologies that have actually created countless miracles and brought about dramatic changes in life. And they have great respect for those lame metaphysical theories that have been waiting on the top of the mountain and whose productivity is about zero.
What’s even more pitiful is that many seemingly awesome metaphysical theories still rely on the boundaries of imagination broadened by the progress of scientific theories…
"So, what exactly does this waterfall outside the building do?" the pragmatists in the crowd began to ask.
Obviously, moving the pumping unit to the 13th floor is not an easy task, and it may even be a thankless task. There must be some mystery behind it.
"Do you even need to ask? The building is surrounded by ponds and has a waterfall on top. Water brings prosperity and wealth. This building has an unprecedented feng shui layout and is extremely good."
"Yes, the steam engine is also driven by water. Using water to regulate water, it is really great to add wealth to wealth. But I think the trees around it seem a little sparse..."
"I didn't expect that the steam engine could also adjust Feng Shui..."
Everyone started to discuss it lively. Emperor Jing asked, "Zhengyi, what is the purpose of this waterfall? Is there really a mystery of Feng Shui in it?"
"Ah, it just serves as a landscape."
“…”Emperor Jing was speechless.
All the officials immediately stopped their discussion and once again looked at Fang Zhengyi with malicious eyes.
Okay, okay, this is how you play it, right?
I would feel bad if I didn’t spoil everyone’s fun today, right?
Fang Zhengyi expressed his innocence and said he didn't expect these people to have such a rich imagination.
The building's waterfall-generating pumping unit exists solely to create a spectacle.
The inspiration came from the news I read in my previous life.
Putting aside this function, it can be said to be extremely useless. The huge noise and vibration have a huge negative impact, and there is also a risk of fire when burning the boiler on the 13th floor.
Once it is opened, there will be no peace in the building.
However, one of the original purposes of building the building was to attract attention. This thing is only opened when important people visit or during the New Year and other festivals. It will definitely not be opened at other times, just like the fountain in front of Dongjiao University.
The flow of the waterfall gradually decreases.
Seeing that the time had come, Fang Zheng stretched out his right hand and said with a smile, "Everyone, please follow me now and let's take a look inside the building."
The large group followed Fang Zhengyi's footsteps and gradually moved towards the entrance of the building.
At this time, Emperor Jing slowed down his pace, looked at the gate and asked: "Zhengyi, this gate..."
Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, this is called a revolving door. When you enter, push open one of the glass doors and the whole thing will automatically rotate. This type of door is also specially produced in Taoyuan County. This door is not only beautiful in appearance, but also can prevent wind backflow."
As soon as Fang Zheng finished speaking, he led Emperor Jing into the hall first.
Seeing this, the officials behind him began to murmur again.
"This door is quite interesting, and looks quite fresh."
"What's the point? Don't you think it's a nuisance to push the door?"
"I think so too. If someone drinks too much and vomits it, it will be like a pancake..."
"Hiss! I'm quite happy today, could you please stop saying such disgusting things? Go away!"
When you first enter it, you will feel a sense of sudden enlightenment.
The first thing you enter is the hall, where the middle parts from the first to the fifth floors are hollowed out.
Therefore, the hall has a very high ceiling, and a large area of the walls are paved with tiles. In addition, there are glass windows all around, especially the huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor. It can be said that there is no darkness at all during the day.
