After discussing and deciding on the two projects of the medical system and the ideological transformation system, Mai Ke instructed Huang Yukun and Fu Changlong to go to the southern part of the field to conduct field surveys and determine the different locations of different institutions, and it is best to draw graphics.

Then Mai Ke said to Zeng Yuzhen: "It seems that the career of a charcoal burner is over." Because the area where you cut down the forest has reached the defensive zone of this base. The trees in the defensive line must not be moved. ”

Mai Ke felt that there was no need to involve soil and water conservation, and that there was a good reason to stop deforestation just to protect this rear base.

Zeng Yuzhen nodded after hearing this, expressing understanding.

"In addition to the ones that have been handed over to Zhang Yuan to participate in military training, how many of you are there, and if you don't burn charcoal, what else can you do?" Mai Ke continued to ask.

"We spend one-third of the year doing farm work and two-thirds of the year burning charcoal. If charcoal burning stops, most people may have to leave their homes and go to other places to earn a living. ”

In fact, the problem is even more serious than that, because Lao Zeng did not count those who participated in the training. Nor are they likely to train or engage in military operations all year round. In this way, if charcoal is not burned, at least seventy percent of the labor force will have nothing to do.

And if there is nothing to do, there is no source of livelihood. They used to rely on burning charcoal for generations and selling it to feed their families. The wealthy people around are their customers, because they all like the high-quality charcoal here, which has little fire and smoke, and has no smell.

"In my opinion, except for those who participated in military training and concentrated operations, all charcoal burners and their entire families moved into this base. Then split them in two.

"People in the prime of life, organized to become miners, we will have a lot of mining work in the future. Mai Ke has planned in his heart that at least coal and iron must be mined as much as possible, and without steel, it means that there is no industry. As a traverser, it is impossible to complete the traversal task without establishing a relatively considerable industrial base.

"What is a miner?" Zeng Yuzhen asked curiously. Chen Duxiu and Swen were also full of questions.

"It's about digging a hole into the ground and extracting what you need. Mai Ke gave an example, "For example, digging a well is to dig a hole in the ground and take out the water. And the purpose of the miners is not to take water, but to take minerals, such as silver. ”

Mai Kezheng didn't know how to explain the medium, iron, oil, etc., which he wanted to dig, and suddenly remembered that silver was already relatively common at that time, and silver was taken out of silver mines, so he used it as a metaphor.

Zeng Yuzhen felt that this charcoal burning and mining were relatively close, because the local people who did such things were called "potters", so he nodded in agreement with this arrangement.

According to Mai Ke's plan, the rest of the people will participate in agriculture and services, and anyway, the future development of this place will inevitably require a large number of agricultural products and various services, and there is nothing to do.

Both Hong Xiuquan and Sven agreed to this plan. Sven also proposed that after these original charcoal burners moved in, a military base would be established in the place where they lived to defend the perimeter of the base.

Mai Ke agreed with this idea very much, especially listening to Sven, he had been there before, and the place where the charcoal burners now lived was a cottage that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and its military value was very high.

At this time, Hong Xiuquan asked whether the current Bible printing house was only temporarily set up in Jintian Village, and whether he would consider moving it together. Mai Ke agrees with this consideration, but is worried about pollution. The pollution caused by printing itself is not large, and it is papermaking that is deadly.

Mai Ke voiced this concern, and everyone agreed not to dirty the environment, especially the river. In fact, except for Mai Ke, everyone's awareness of environmental protection is basically none.

The so-called keeping the environment fresh and clean is mainly the reason for the fear of God. Because so far, there is not a single person who does not know that this is the place of special grace that God has given them.

After discussions, it was finally decided that the paper mill and the printing mill should be separated. Just move the printing house here and print the Bible in this fully protected environment.

It was also agreed that residential buildings would be erected in the northern wilderness, where the medical system would be faced, and that all but prisoners and those involved in the rehabilitation of smoking would be allowed to live in the residential buildings.

At the same time, a public education system has been established there, with a variety of services.

The public education system, according to Mai Ke's plan, is the first to sixth grades of primary school, three years of middle school, and three years of high school. All must complete 12 years of basic education.

Then go to vocational school, college, undergraduate, and finally graduate school. There are two options for graduate school: either complete the graduate program and get a master's degree, or study for a master's degree and get the highest degree.

All these decisions, which resulted from these discussions, are on the record. The person in charge of recording was a servant appointed by Sven. According to Sven, if this person is academically speaking, he is on a par with Sven. It's just a bit bookish and too angry, and there is no necessary flexibility when doing things.

"How about it, why don't you leave him for you as a secretary?" When Mai Ke finished, he saw that the servant named Yi Shuwen recorded very well, not only the handwriting was clear, but also the logic was rigorous and extremely fast. As soon as everyone's words fell, his pen stopped. This is a small letter written in ink!

If such a talent is just a martial artist, he will inevitably be condescending. Since Mai Ke knew the situation, of course he would not allow such a thing to happen, because God created every person for a specific purpose.

"What is a secretary?" It's a pity that Sven has never been exposed to this word, and he didn't understand Mai Ke's intentions for a while.

"It's paperwork. Hong Xiuquan explained next to him. He had a lot of contact with Gavin and others, so he knew something about the term, and he became Sven's teacher at the moment. Finally met someone who didn't know more than me.

"Yes. While Mai Ke affirmed Hong Xiuquan's statement, he also pointed out the difference between the two: "The similarity between the two is that they are both responsible for the processing of words. The importance of a secretary is that he has to help you with daily affairs and even the trivial things in your life.

"All your important things go through his hands, so he is the person you trust the most and the person who can help you in the most important moments. So, once you have been promoted, if you don't take him with you, the best person to succeed you is your secretary. ”

"So?" Sven was not too satisfied with Yi Shuwen, he felt that this kid's cleverness was too far behind what he expected. However, it seems that there is no better one for the time being.

And what is Sven's satisfaction with him? is that Yi Shuwen is very patient and meticulous, and just throws all the daily chores that he is particularly annoying about.

"Okay, that's him. Sven recognized his secretary.

"That's good. Mai Ke said to Yi Shuwen: "From now on, you will leave my guard and go directly to the leadership of Sven as his secretary. You are the first secretary of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Therefore, I will give you two disciplines: the first, that you must obey orders, and the second, that you must keep your mouth shut. ”

Yi Shuwen respectfully accepted the order. Unexpectedly, in this way, it not only opened up a precedent for the secretarial industry of the Kingdom of Heaven, but also created an outstanding internal affairs talent for the Kingdom of Heaven.

The two regulations proposed by Mai Ke have also become the motto of the secretarial industry, and have become two iron laws that all secretaries of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom cannot violate in the future. If they violated, they would be transferred out of their secretarial posts at the least, or thrown into the ideological reform system under the jurisdiction of Huang Yukun. Whatever the punishment, his career will definitely be bleak. Many times you only get one chance.

After deciding on these things, Mai Ke stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go and look at the square and the lake in front of us, and determine how to use them." This is the last thing for the day, and I'll call it a day when I'm done. ”

The first thing they looked at was the square, and they saw that the playground was very large, and there were some low grasses growing sparsely and sparsely on it. It seems to be a place for wild beasts to play.

If it is a military training, there is absolutely no problem in starting training at the same time on the scale of 100,000 troops. This is to be used as a permanent training ground! Everyone decided almost immediately.

Then, everyone turned to the north. It is a huge lake with vast blue waters. If the sailors of the Heavenly Kingdom could train and hide here, they would not be detected by the Qing army.

Because the water is so deep, it is impossible to tell from the shore how deep the water in this lake really is. Mai Ke once again used his "spirit rhino movement", and the hydrological data of the entire lake was immediately clear at a glance.

The deepest place is 100 meters, the shallowest is 50 meters, and the average depth is 75 meters. Warships and merchant ships of any type of era were able to navigate the water unimpeded.

The lake is rectangular in shape, three kilometers wide and ten kilometers long, no wonder there is no end in sight.

When Mai Ke probed sideways, he found that in the deepest waters, there was a group of huge aquatic animals with a weight of ...... Mai Ke took a closer look at the weight displayed under the "Lingxi Movement" function, the lightest one was 1,000 tons, and the largest one in the middle weighed 5,000 tons!

Is it a whale? If so, it's another example that is different from what people know about the laws of nature. Whales live in the ocean and will never come into this fresh water, unless the Creator adjusts it to His own will.

After seeing these behemoths, Mai Ke remembered the situation introduced by the old apple tree, the animals and plants here are different from those outside that are affected by the sin, so it is difficult to say that the whales are not normal here, maybe they originally lived in fresh water.

Mai Ke decided to play the "Spirit Move" function again, and carefully detective these big guys to see what secrets they hid.

As soon as Mai Ke moved here, the spirit rhino immediately threw himself at the target, aiming at the huge creature lying in the middle. This guy seems to be a leader.

Immediately afterward, Mai Ke received a fluctuation with a desolate aura. Strangely, Mai Ke actually felt that this breath was familiar. When I think about it a little, I am sure that it is the same as the breath of the old apple tree, and it is also full of ancient and heavy meaning.

The first content of the message is to say the origin of these big ones, as well as the names! Mai Ke was stunned when he looked at the names.

What?Jonah Fish?

Could this be the big fish described in the Bible? The book of Jonah says that it swallowed Jonah and then left him in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights before sending him to Nineveh. While Jonah was in the belly of a fish, he prayed to God to repent of his mistakes, and was finally spit out by the fish, completing his mission of evangelism.

Is this really the big fish?

It's incredible!
