Chapter 249: Left or right

"This gentleman has invited me, can Rong sit here less?" Shi Lei went over and discussed with the guest, also named Ma Zhou.

"Sit." Ma Zhou raised his head, looked at Shi Lei coldly, and signaled him briefly.

Well, this guy with a weird temper is quite a bit of a man who is not afraid of the powerful.

Shi Lei is wearing a top-notch silk clothes produced by his own home. As long as he is an eye-catching person, he will know that this outfit is definitely not ordinary.

Moreover, the piece of ancient jade hanging on his waist also demonstrated that his identity was certainly extraordinary, but Ma Zhou, the opposite side, looked completely unintentional, so he would drink it anyway.

Just because of the other party's character, Shi Lei became more interested in him. He became more and more sure that this Ma Zhou should be the Ma Zhou, the future prime minister who made His Majesty Li Er not see him for a day, as if he had been apart three autumns.

It is already rare for ordinary people to have such an extraordinary person, and they are no longer so coincidental. So it is definitely the prime minister who comes from the grassroots class.

"Shopkeeper, come with a few more specialties." Shi Lei greeted.

It's still early now, so it's definitely okay to walk out of Chang'an City before the curfew, so Shi Lei doesn't mind, and he has a good relationship with this future prime minister.

If you don’t use it well with such an opportunity, it’s like a thunderstorm.

In the future, the Tang Dynasty will be more of a civil servant stage. With such a strong support, life will definitely be much better in the future, especially this person, who is still a kind person who knows and repays kindness.

According to Shi Lei's memory, he later surrendered to Chang He, the guard general who helped Li Shimin and guarded Xuanwu Gate, and now the Central Army General.

In order to thank him for taking in, when Li Shimin collected opinions, Ma Zhou did it himself and solved the big problem for Chang He and made a very impressive memorial that satisfies Li Shimin.

While solving the problem for Chang He, he also successfully attracted Li Shimin's attention, which led to his success.

Now, he has not had this experience yet, and you can tell that his situation is quite miserable. In Shi Lei's opinion, he is definitely a good emotional investment target.

It just seems that this person has a weird temper. How to get closer is a headache.

"This gentleman looks extraordinary and loves the things in this cup. Why would you please ask you to taste my bamboo leaf green wine?"

Since the other party is a drinker, Shi Lei decided to start from this aspect, which should be a good breakthrough.

I have to say that the alcohol test is also a compulsory course for the nobles. I wonder if this person can make a fortune in the future. I wonder if he has the credit for his good alcohol tolerance.

Look at his jar of wine, he can't beat the ones that cost ten or eight pounds. Even if it's not Jiannan Shaochun, such top-notch soy sauce may not be that high, and ordinary people can't drink so much.

"Thank you." Ma Zhou also refused everyone to the kindness that Shi Lei gave him, and drank wine and ate vegetables, and did not treat himself as an outsider.

"Good wine." After drinking a little more good wine, Ma Zhou was no longer as cold as before, but instead became a lot of talk.

Or it is more like those madmen from the Southern and Northern Dynasties, drinking while talking loudly about current affairs and expressing their own opinions on current affairs.

However, it is different from those madmen who only know how to talk nonsense. This person is targeted and can come up with specific response plans for various situations.

Instead of talking about irrelevant clichés, it gives people a sense of fake and empty space.

Just like at this moment, Ma Zhou and Shi Lei talked about controlling road congestion.

The road conditions of the Tang Dynasty were generally not enough. For example, it was easy to say that in Chang'an City, the roads were wide enough, the personnel quality was relatively high, and the conventional rules were barely considered orderly at present.

But when you arrive at the official roads outside the city, the situation is very different. Passers-by and carriages are crowded together, which happens from time to time.

And Ma Zhou's opinions are very constructive.

"Divide the road from the middle into two, and stipulate that whether it is a carriage, horse or pedestrian, you must walk on the right, so that they can put themselves in a lower position and always have a sense of awe.

The left side is mostly used as a galloping road. Fast knights can cross the slower one from their left side, or leave it to use for quicker feet."

Ma Zhou dipped his hands in water and drew a schematic diagram on the table.

"This method is wonderful!" Shi Lei raised his thumb without hesitation and praised the other party.

In ancient times, most of our country were left-leaning, which means that the position on the left was higher than the position on the right.

Even if you go to someone else's house to drink, you will arrange guests according to this rule. So Shi Lei can fully understand what Ma Zhou said.

In future generations, such things are just serious traffic rules and common sense things that children of a few years old can know.

But when it comes to the Tang Dynasty, it is definitely groundbreaking and you must praise it and have ideas.

And if Shi Lei remembers correctly, the rules of driving on the right in our country that are popular in the future actually originated from the earliest proposal of Prime Minister Ma Zhou in front of him.

This is different from the situation in other countries. Some of them are on the left and some are on the right. Most of this rule actually originates from both Britain and France.

As their colonies continue to grow, under their influence, the territory under their command will naturally implement such rules.

However, Britain and France have never been very good at dealing with each other, and have been fighting for many years, so in some places, they sometimes go to the left and sometimes go to the right.

Sometimes, by just looking at the traffic rules of each country, you can know whether this country was colonized by Britain before.

The conversation between Shi Lei and Ma Zhou was very pleasant. Ma Zhou relied on his real skills, profound knowledge, and always had the courage to think of others as they had never imagined, so he had many novel cognitions.

Shi Lei relied on his miscellaneous insights from later generations. In such an era of information explosion, his experiences were definitely broad, so it was not difficult to keep up with Ma Zhou's ideas. Many times he could also put forward some constructive opinions that made Ma Zhou's eyes lit up and he lowered his head to think deeply.

In addition, Shi Lei intends to make friends with Ma Zhou, so he has to give him some flattery from time to time. The two sides have not been chatting for a long time, just like an old friend who has been together for many years.

Before dark, Shi Lei offered his farewell in time.

This guy is like talking to girls. Every time I meet, I still have a lot of thought.

But you must not become a bit disgusted with watching each other, so there will be no drama to sing in the future. So it is best to end at this time.

When he walked to the shop where he bowed his head, Shi Lei took out a golden seed and bounced it to the shop, and generously told the shop that he had paid for all Ma Zhou's expenses, so that the shop could serve his friend very well.

As the store owner thanked him, Shi Lei waved his hand, smiled and said goodbye to Ma Zhou, called the guards who had sat around him, and went back to the village together.

Before dark, Shi Lei and the others rushed back to the village.

Before he could sit down, he got news from the butler. Little Shizi, the pearl in Li Er's hand, Princess Li Mingda, and his brother King Jin Li Zhi, all came to the village. He had just settled down and looked at his posture to stay here for a few days.
