This fact is still very impactful. In this era, the reward for finding a teacher for children is called "shuxiu".
When meeting a teacher for the first time, you must first give a gift to show respect.
In fact, most farmers cannot pay very high wages, so the cost-effectiveness of studying is not high for them. It is better to let their children go farming earlier.
There are even more rules for learning crafts, including paying homage to the ancestor, worshiping the patron saint of the industry, and performing a master ceremony. The master and his wife sit on the throne, and the apprentice kowtows three times, then kneels to present a red envelope and a post to the master. For the master, for the apprentice, More important than my biological father.
But now, you can find a better job after studying for five years, and the price-performance ratio seems to be somewhat attractive.
Children go to school at the age of six or seven, and when they are teenagers they go out to work, which is just right! What’s more, it’s free!
The old man with the white beard was silent for a moment, and he couldn't understand why the Turtle Mansion could continue to operate. Wouldn't it be a financial deficit? Where did the money come from, and where did so much food come from...
Not to mention free schools, but craftsmanship is not very important and will be eliminated in the future? Why?
In the end I could only sigh.
I don't understand, I don't understand at all.
"Teacher, teacher!"
The old man with a white beard turned his head and heard someone calling him.
It's the young senior brother, Zhongli.
Zhong Li said excitedly: "I went to Qingshi Town to investigate... The road is really smooth. It can pass four or two carriages side by side. It is said that several evil gods mined the rocks and paved it out. of!"
"They can still control evil gods?" The old man with white beard was shocked.
To put it bluntly, "evil gods" are dogs who cannot change their habit of eating shit and are obsessed with cannibalism. Even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva cannot save a few evil beings.
But now, these guys are actually digging mountains and paving roads honestly, which is simply unheard of.
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes!" Zhong Li couldn't help but lower his voice, "Those evil gods... lined up and paved the road honestly. As soon as people passed by, they disappeared directly."
The white-bearded old man murmured: "If Emperor Huangtian has the ability to drive evil gods, he will really be able to subvert the world."
Zhongli continued: "Also, in Qingshi Town, I saw a descendant of the Jiuhua Mountain lineage, a great monk named Qiu Yuan. However, this monk no longer chanted sutras and chanted Buddha's name. What did he study there all day long? The great method of productivity, silly fun and silly fun."
"I also discussed with him for a few words. He said that he had been taught by Buddha and deeply realized that the economic base determines the superstructure, and then he said some mysterious words. In short, he was completely involved in large-scale production."
Monk Qiuyuan?
The old man with the white beard frowned slightly, as if he had heard of it somewhere, and it seemed like it was a story a long time ago.
He couldn't help but think hard, and suddenly thought of something: "That monk, has he changed his religion?"
"Yes, the great monk from Jiuhua Mountain actually changed his faith and stayed firm."
Everyone was shocked. The source of a monk's strength comes from the faith in his heart. If he changes his faith, can he still use what he has learned?
Obviously it can be used, because the monk is teaching the children in Qingshi Town the corresponding techniques!
Even ordinary people can learn some superficial and simple cultivation methods to strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives.
"Zhongyun, what about you?"
"I saw over there that a large number of workers were laying some kind of transportation rails. There might be a thousand workers paving the road." This beautiful girl named Zhong Yun gestured and said: "The rails are two
Thick and long iron ingots are spread on the sleepers, saying they can be used to transport goods."
"After the railway track is opened, it can be reached in one hour in one day's journey."
Several apprentices, with your words and my words, have clearly investigated the changes in the vast areas of Qingshi Town, Hujinkou, and Fenghua City.
Everything reveals a kind of
Unbelievable.
The original government power has completely declined. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one can control it, and the power with Guifu as the core is booming.
The people enthusiastically supported it. When they talked about "Turtle Mansion", their eyebrows lit up, they talked eloquently, and they wished they could become one of the workers.
Yes, the income from working is more than farming at the landlord's house, and it is very stable, so why not work?
Zhong Yun said with some confusion: "Teacher...the turtle coins issued by the Turtle Mansion itself, aren't they..."
She lowered her voice and took out a delicate silver-white coin. There was a piece of jade in the inner circle, with a lifelike turtle engraved on it, and an Arabic numeral 10, which meant it was 10 yuan.
There are no Arabic numerals in the world of mountains and seas, but even illiterate people can learn such simple and easy-to-learn characters - who can't do arithmetic related to money?
Within a few months, it has been widely accepted by the residents of Fenghua City.
"These 10 yuan turtle coins are a month's reward. I exchanged them with silver. They wouldn't give me more turtle coins in exchange. The 10 yuan coin is called silver inlaid jade, and there is also a gold inlaid jade coin.
, the currency is worth 100 yuan."
She took out some other coins, including 1 yuan, 5 cents, 1 cent, 1 cent, and 5 cents.
The basic salary for a young adult is about 4-5 cents a day.
"Salaries are paid out once a month. With this money in their hands, farmers smile and feel extremely at ease."
The old man with a white beard took the coin and looked at it carefully.
This coin may be mixed with copper and tin, making it less likely to rust, but it is much more refined than the copper coins issued by the imperial court. The exquisite turtle pattern on the 10-yuan coin is lifelike and endearing.
I don’t know how such a complicated currency can be produced on a large scale.
Several students also commented: "Just the way it looks makes people really like it."
"The difficulty of counterfeiting is very high."
The second senior brother Zhong He sighed: "Guifu does have detailed plans, it is not the straw bag army of peasant uprisings... Although Fenghua City is small, it is well-organized and well-organized."
There were quite a few peasant uprisings in the Mountain and Sea Realm, but most of them only relied on the power of a certain god. They were prominent and lively for a while, then lost the hearts of the people, and then were suppressed by the imperial army. The god either died or went into hiding.
And what I see now...
From the education of children, to large-scale infrastructure construction, to the issuance of currency, it was gradually planned. Even throughout the whole process, the people's hearts surrendered, and the people enjoyed and integrated into it.
The right time, the right place and the right people, when they come together, it becomes a trend of the times!
Even though this trend of the times is still in the brewing stage, one day it will grow into an overwhelming force and overthrow everything in the world!
While talking about this, a mysterious thought appeared in the mind of the old man with white beard: Change the world!
No matter whether it is the gods above or the human world, there will be major changes.
"Teacher, will this trend destroy the Daqian Dynasty?"
The white-bearded old man was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Let's just go with the flow. Although we are the national advisors of the Daqian Dynasty, we are just trying to adapt to the times and stick to power. This is not our style."
"There is no eternal dynasty in the world. When time comes, it will naturally decline."
"If this general trend is going to overthrow the world of mountains and seas, why not follow the trend?"
"The development here is very orderly, and there are still many things that I don't understand. It's obviously beyond expectations."
He laughed again and called to several students: "I guess the Turtle Spirit Mother is just a piece of skin here, and inside is a terrifying Emperor."
"Let's go into the Turtle Mansion and have a look?"
…
…
Turtle Mansion, the original Taoist temple of Turtle Spirit Mother, has now been transformed into a new mansion.
It is considered the largest administrative agency in Fenghua City.
The Turtle Mansion is responsible for handling large and small affairs in the surrounding areas, led by Gao
It is composed of four parts: the upper-level council, the secretariat and the committee, and the local committee.
In the Shanhai Realm, a world with feudalism as its core, it is too early to talk about various "capitals", "society", various "roads", and various "ideas". There is not enough material foundation, and everything is just a mirror. .
Therefore, the current route is just taking one step at a time.
"What's more, there are also various gods here. The power of the gods is very powerful and has deeply affected the ideology of the people."
"Therefore, it is not appropriate to completely copy the Earth and Blue Star's path." A sociologist spoke out while holding a recent survey report, while a group of people in the audience also listened carefully.
Their every move affects the entire mountain and sea world.
This kind of influence will be written into history!
Therefore, when I come here to work, I feel a subtle sense of accomplishment, but also an indescribable pressure, and oh, there are also some small rewards.
"As long as we do our own thing well and continue to develop productivity. I think we people should not be arrogant and think that the earth's civilization or the Blue Star civilization is one step ahead and can guide the people here."
"We ourselves have many shortcomings. Compared with the illusory prehistoric civilization, there are still many problems. There is no need to guide the locals step by step. It is only correct to let them go their own way."
Several investigators from the West looked a little embarrassed.
In fact, everyone knows this truth: a melon that is too strong is not sweet.
On Earth, there is a small country called "Haiti". Its political structure is completely copied from the American Empire, but has it become stronger?
No, it is the most chaotic country in the world. Even Daxia, which has always had a good temper, can't stand it anymore. It angrily criticized this small country at the UN General Assembly meeting, and all the support funds were wasted.
Chanting sutras such as "democracy and freedom" can't actually change anything; hand-by-hand support can't change anything either, only some lackeys and compradors will appear.
Only the path out based on internal motivation can change the entire world.
"Didn't you say that we want to overthrow the entire Shanhai Realm?" Li Qingshan asked, "How can we overthrow it if we do nothing?"
The expert said: "It is too difficult to use force to overthrow. It is better to use systems and ideas."
"As long as our region develops well enough and its influence continues to expand, it will naturally bring enlightenment to the whole world. Let us overthrow various dynasties with our own hands. How to control and rule? Who will be the ruler? Who is willing to help the poor?
"
"The world of mountains and seas is so big. It has a land area of about 900 million square kilometers, six times that of the earth. There are 13 suspended mountains thousands of miles apart from each other. There may be tens of billions of people... How many people can we send?
Isn’t 100,000 or 200,000 enough to hit the sky? With this small population, there won’t even be any splashes.”
"So the best way is to do our best and consolidate the current area."
With the changes of the times, all the major countries on the earth prefer economic colonization and do not compete for land like in the past era.
Like the Philippines on earth, Puerto Rico also hopes to become a state of the United States, but has been repeatedly rejected because of the need to pay for transfers of this land, which is the so-called "poverty alleviation."
The land in the mountain and sea world is actually of little use. Even if there are some supernatural minerals, can't it be bought directly with money?
If you manage your own area well, naturally all nations will come to visit and buy whatever they want.
At this point in the discussion, Li Qingshan also sighed. It seems that the road to continue spreading the light of righteousness will be long!
…
Once again, everyone discussed the issue of shortage of manpower.
With the anchorage of Fenghua City stabilized, the consumption of teleportation materials has been reduced to one-tenth of the original amount.
With the popular support of "Guifu" and the large-scale population migration in surrounding cities, the anchoring of Tianmen continues to be strengthened.
In this case, the earth and the
Blue Star, a sign of not being prepared enough.
It's not a matter of materials. There's plenty of steel, coal and the like, so you can get as much as you want.
The most important thing is people!
Most of the people who come to the Shanhai Realm to open up wasteland are elites. The value of ordinary people is not comparable to a "death insurance".
But cultivating elites is not easy. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources to become talents.
From the two worlds of Earth and Blue Star, it would not be a big problem to transfer a few thousand people; to transfer hundreds of thousands of people in a short period of time would definitely break the bones.
"Oh, you are talking about this." An energetic old man walked in outside the door. He is the No. 1 old man of the Black Guard, and is currently in a semi-retired state.
Anyway, I had nothing to do, so I came here to direct some work.
"I looked at the map of the surrounding area. It has a radius of 100,000 square kilometers. Along the Hujinkou, Qingshi Town and Qiangui River, there is no problem for tens of millions of people to live there. Coal, steel, and food are all available, and some supernatural minerals, yellowstone, and cinnabar are also produced.
Such as this, it can be regarded as a land of abundance."
"In the next ten years, as long as we control a radius of 10,000 square kilometers, it will be the limit of our capabilities."
"It is estimated that in ten years, the transmission fee per population will be reduced to 60,000 per person... This can be regarded as a complete opening of the space channel."
The price of 60,000 per person is definitely a low price that allows free travel. After all, the current moon landing project may cost 600 million to send a person to heaven, so isn't it still being done?
"With a radius of one million square kilometers, it is easy for 100 million people to live there. It may take tens to hundreds of years."
Industrialization is, after all, a long process. It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Just cultivating qualified workers requires more than ten years of education.
So, there is no way to rush.
"Everyone, have you caught any new weirdness?" Old Man No. 1 asked again.
"No... the nearby villages have almost been captured, and they have all turned into statues of the Turtle Spirit Mother and the Sore Mother." The speaker was Pan Hao, "Those two turtles have limited qualifications and cannot stand so much incense.
It’s about to burst. I need to replace it quickly.”
"That dragon? Or that dog?"
"I think it would be better to switch to that dog."
Recently, there was an additional dog in the strange space of Emperor Tiandi. The tablet was placed quite high, just below the dragon.
Moreover, this dog seems to have some special powers. When it sees a virtuous person, it will shake its head, be enthusiastic and generous, and wag its tail crazily; when it sees an evil person, it will grin and make a faint roaring sound.
Unlike that dragon, which laughs all day long...
"I don't know where this dog came from, but he is also a general."
"Maybe they are local deities with merit, like the Turtle Spirit Mother. However, there are very few of this kind type."
Pan Hao sighed and took out a form. Currently, there are so many superpowers. They have captured more than fifty "gods" in the surrounding villages and thrown them into the six paths of reincarnation. Naturally, they will receive a lot of rewards.
What do you say about these guys, "ox ghost", "human-faced owl", "guhuo bird", "lintao giant", "panic", "tianguo", just looking at the names are not very good things.
It ranges from being thrown into the animal realm to being thrown into the hell realm. Except for the dog becoming a "god", there is almost no good outcome.
This can also be seen that Emperor Huangtian has his own set of rules.
This rule is somewhat similar to the laws of the human world.
"Can humans be reincarnated?" said an old man with gray hair from the West.
"It seems possible, but no one dares to do it for the time being."
People are always gray. How can there be absolute justice and absolute evil?
Emperor Huang Tian's judgment method is currently unpredictable.
If someone is thrown into the animal realm or the hell realm and has to endure long-term pain... then it's really better to just die.
Therefore, everyone wants to do good deeds and gain points in the coming years.
"The existence of reincarnation has changed our way of thinking. Would it be better if reincarnation existed on earth?"
Old Comrade No. 1 murmured to himself, shook his head again, and looked towards the distant horizon, where a few sparrows flew "chirping" in the air.
At this moment, a secretary ran over and said hurriedly: "Old sir, a white-haired old man came outside Guifu! He said he wanted to meet the manager here!"
"I think he has an extraordinary bearing, and he has brought with him a few young people who look like students. They may have some background, maybe they are people sent by the Daqian Dynasty!"
Old comrade No. 1 came back to his senses, and on a whim, he pinched his fingers and made a fortune, and said to the crowd, "You guys take your time and talk."
He turned around and smiled: "I'm going out to meet with the officials for a while."
