readx;?“ The port of the East is simply a city made of silver! Xu Xiake had such a sentence in his heart, but his most anxious problem now has not been solved, in this one-zhang square room, except for the porcelain jar that is inlaid on the ground, there is nowhere to "release". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Using a porcelain jar to make a bedpan is too extravagant, isn't it? Even in the palace, isn't it? Besides, what should I do if I relieve myself in this porcelain jar when it is full? He was so anxious that he turned around twice in place, and finally his heart was crossed, and it didn't seem to be so cumbersome, so he just took off his pants to release the pressure.

To his surprise, there seemed to be water in the small hole at the low end of the porcelain jar, and he heard a sound of water, but he didn't see the water coming up, and he was curious, and he glanced at a bucket next to it, and there was a wooden spoon in the bucket. Curious, he looked at it, and there was still half a bucket of water in the bucket, so he scooped up a spoonful and poured it in, but he didn't see the water gushing up, and he was even more curious at the moment. However, he is also an educated person, so it is not a good thing to toss in other people's grain reincarnation places after all, so he still fastened his pants and opened the buckle on the door and walked out.

"Uncle Xu, you're out!" Zhang Feng greeted him at the door with a smile on his face, "Our executive committee is here and wants to talk to you." ”

Xu Xiake didn't know what the executive committee was, but looking at the solemn expression on this person's face, he must also be a more important person, and hurriedly made a gesture of "please", "Please also ask Brother Zhang to lead the way." At the same time, the corners of his eyes were still skimming around, and he was still very curious about where the hole under the porcelain jar led, but after looking at it for a while, there was no trace everywhere, so he had to give up.

The two walked into the hall of the cafeteria, and the hall was full of people who were still the same as just now, many elders greeted the two with smiles, and a few elders stopped Xu Xiake and shouted "eggplant" to a blonde and blue-eyed woman not far away in front of him with scissor hands. He didn't know what the patriarchs were doing, but the thing in the hands of the blonde woman who clearly looked like a Mederor caught his attention. The woman was holding a black iron lump a few inches square, and there was a long cylinder in front of it, and I didn't know what it was for, and every time someone called for eggplant, the woman would press it. Then the patriarch who had just been competing with him with scissorhands would flock to the onlookers, or disperse in joy, or rush back to his side and shout eggplant again.

Although Xu Xiake's thinking is not sharp, he can also guess that this is something that can be photographed, but because of the blonde and blue-eyed Maideno woman, it is really inconvenient to lean over to look at it.

At this moment, several people dressed as veterans came over, and said while pulling the people around Xu Xiake away, "Let's let go, the executive committee is waiting over there." "Anyway, now Xu Xiake can basically see at a glance whether he is a patriarch or not, male patriarchs basically don't have long hair, most of them have very light short hair, they are all dressed similarly, basically they are tops with four pockets on the top, and the pants are shorts with belts tied around the waist to the knees. There is everything on the feet, but most people wear yellow flip leather shoes. This made Xu Xiake a little curious, isn't this Yueyue? The Wu Dynasty is not just anyone who can wear leather shoes, these people who are not ordinary people, even if they are elders, if it is the Taizu era, I am afraid that their legs will be cut off. But what he didn't know was that these leather shoes were basically brought by the Senate from the old time and space, and their main purpose was to use them as work leather shoes to prevent them from hurting their feet at work. As far as the existing conditions of the Oriental Port in this time and space are concerned, there are not enough rubber soles, and there is a lack of cowhide, and even the military boots provided by the shoe factories to the troops can only be made of thick canvas and sewn with wooden soles. The service life of such military boots is very short, and the bottom will break off in about a month after frequent use, and even if it is used carefully, it is about two or three months of life. The elders were so disgusted by the canvas work shoes that they preferred to wear work shoes brought from the old plane—even if they didn't even want to take a second look at them.

Female elders are far easier to see than male senators, just kidding, even if the female elders are the most conservative, most of them wear short-sleeved tight tops, as for the skirts worn below, they are often above the knees, and even wear hot pants or stockings, such a shape makes Xu Xiake dare not stand, for fear that it will show an embarrassing scene.

After the patriarchs were pulled away, Xu Xiake was invited to a table, saying that the tables in the cafeteria were all the same, and the stools were the same, and he looked up at the person in front of him who was guarded by several patriarchs. This man was about the same size as most of the patriarchs, with the same strong physique, and it looked like he was also out of the house all year round, and his skin was slightly tanned, and he was looking at him with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"Hello Mr. Xu, I am Du Yande, a member of the Executive Committee of the Oriental Hong Kong Dollar Old Hospital." The executive committee member in front of him smiled and stretched out his hand, but quickly took it back, Xu Xiake didn't quite understand what this meant, although he still didn't know what the executive committee was, but he felt that it should be a figure like the big leader of this group of people. However, the big boss in front of him is completely different from the big boss in his impression, whether it is an official or a thief in the Wu Dynasty, once he is the leader, he is different from ordinary people, and he often wears satin clothes to reflect his luxury. However, the executive committee member in front of him, like all the patriarchs next to him, was completely indistinguishable, wearing the same kind of shirt with four pockets, and his pants were blocked by the table. Seeing this Du Yande reaching over, there were also a lot of calluses on his hands, and some marks of cuts, obviously he had done manual work. Since they are all the same as the people next to them, what are the benefits of being an executive committee?

"It turned out to be the big leader," Xu Xiake hurriedly saluted Du Yande, "When Zhenchu arrived in your realm, I was ashamed to be loved by the elders, and I was ashamed." ”

"No, no, no!" Du Yande hurriedly stood up and stretched out his hand to help him and continued, "Mr. Xu is determined to travel all over the rivers and mountains of the motherland, which can already make the vast majority of officials of the Wu Dynasty embarrassed. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare," Xu Xiake's face sweat flowed down all of a sudden, joking, he still has to travel around in the Wu Dynasty, this black fat man said this about himself here, if it spreads, wouldn't he be unable to move an inch in the Wu Dynasty? "Zhenzhi has been studying since he was a child, but he can't even pass the exam as a child, and he has no ambitions in his chest, so it's better to just come out and travel, and the big boss please don't make fun of Zhenzhi."

"No, no," Du Yande said, "As the saying goes, if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world, govern the country and cultivate the world." Someone next to him stabbed Du Yande in the waist, "Pick the important one and say," Du Yande turned his head in amazement, and it turned out to be Xie Mingfang.

Xie Mingfang pushed Du Yande, "You go over, I'll talk about it." ”

Xu Xiake looked at the woman sitting down in amazement, and said to him generously, "We want to ask you to do us a favor." He froze for a moment, not knowing whether to answer or not. In fact, these people have always felt a little embarrassed to treat him with such hospitality, and it would be okay if he could help a little now. But does a woman's words count? Although he saw that the woman in front of him was quite strong in front of the executive committee, he couldn't figure out if what this woman said could count.

Du Yande saw that Xu Xiake was dumbfounded, knowing his concerns, nodded and said to him, "We came all the way from China, and we only arrived here in September last year, and we have been building this Oriental Port for most of the year, and we don't know anything about the surrounding terrain. Saying that, Du Yande raised his hand and pointed to the hall of the canteen, "Mr. Xu, don't worry, I'm not waiting to spy on the military situation of the Wu Dynasty, I just want to have some understanding of the surrounding famous mountains and rivers." ”

Xie Mingfang hurriedly followed, "We want to fund Mr. Xu's trip, and send troops to escort him along the way to avoid being harassed by bandits." ”

"What does that mean?" Xu Xiake's face was full of incomprehension, "When Zhenzhi set off from Jiangyin, he was alone, carrying the burden forward, and wherever he went, he was where he went." Traveling to my Dawu is a matter of interest, and Xu does not need funding. ”

Du Yande smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Xu has been ambitious in all directions all his life, like Mr. Si'an, he is unwilling to be an official, does not hand over power, is well-read and loves the geography of the scriptures, and has the ambition of a husband to be in the blue sea and twilight." ”

With these words, Xu Xiake was completely stunned, these words were said when he was chatting with his father, and he didn't say it to anyone else. But the strong black man in front of him could blurt out, and he felt as if he knew himself very well. Seeing that he didn't speak, Du Yande continued, "We have a lot of geography books in Dongfang Port, and if Mr. Xu likes it, he can provide them to Mr. Xu to read. ”

This sentence almost immediately captured Xu Xiake's heart, his favorite thing is to read books, especially like to collect books that have not been read, the person in front of him actually told himself that there are many books here, which can be provided for himself to read, Xu Xiake immediately had no opinion, nodded again and again, "Then Zhenzhi thanked me first, I don't know when I can see the book?" ”

Du Yande couldn't help but pout, history said that Xu Xiake was a bookish person, it seems that the ancients did not deceive me. He only heard that Xu Xiake came to Dongfang Port ten minutes ago, and when he heard this name, he was actually stunned for a moment, and he didn't associate this name with the person who came at all, and it took half a minute to wake up, and when he woke up, he almost jumped up and called a Rolls-Royce and came directly.

If you want to say why he is so out of shape, we have to start with the map, the current military map of Dongfang Port is only an aerial photo taken by Yuan Zhenli with a drone around May Day. Not only are the proportions inconsistent, but in many places there are also deviations due to the distortion of the shooting lens, and some time ago there was an oolong incident in which the troops marching according to the map during field training went directly to the wrong road, and the mapping of the new map has become an urgent matter in front of us. But now he can't help it. The Senate is only more than 500 years old, and there are very few people who have the ability to survey and survey, and now the 500 people entrenched in this corner of Dongfang Harbor are completely insufficient. Because the entire Oriental Port is full of infrastructure, and there is a very large shortage of talents who need to survey, there is no one who can do anything about going out to survey and map.

Xu Xiake's arrival is like a guiding light for the surveying and mapping work that has been in a state of stagnation, you must know that his travels are not just to find strange attractions, but more importantly, to explore the mysteries of nature and find the laws of nature. His investigation and research of mountains, waterways, geology and geomorphology have surpassed those of his predecessors. For example, the left and right rivers in Guangxi, the Xiao and Bin Ershui, the tributaries of the Xiangjiang River, the Erpan River in the north and south of Yunnan and the Yangtze River, etc., among which the Yangtze River is the deepest. Where is the birthplace of the Yangtze River, it has been a mystery for a long time, before him for the birthplace of the Yangtze River is based on the Minjiang River in the "Yu Gong" of the Warring States Period, but Xu Xiake is not the same as the clouds, he took this question "the three Qin in the north calendar, the five ridges in the South Pole, and the Shimen Jinsha in the west", found out the birthplace of the Jinsha River, the southern foot of Kunlun Mountain, which is more than 1,000 miles longer than the Minjiang River, so as to conclude that the Jinsha River is the source of the Yangtze River. It was not until 1978 that the Chinese expedition confirmed that the source of the Yangtze River was the Tuotuo River in Gradandong, the main peak of the Tanggula Mountains.

Whether it is the 21st century or the current time and space, talent is the most important, and now that such a person has appeared, it is natural to grasp it firmly in his hands. So Du Yande came non-stop, and after meeting Xie Mingfang at the door, Xie Mingfang also agreed very much, but no one expected that Xu Xiake would refuse the proposal for funding, but because Du Yande hated to sell himself in Dongfang Port because he had a book to read.

"No problem with books, I have them here now!" Someone next to him handed over a copy, Du Yande was stunned, who is this? How can books be given to natives? If there is time or something in it, isn't it easy to expose the hole cards of the Senate?

But when I looked up, I couldn't help but be stunned again, this person turned out to be Zhou Lihang. In other words, Zhou Lihang is the person in charge of the geological exploration department, he should have a priority, right? So I looked down and saw that there were a few big words written in the book, "Wilderness Survival Guide".

"Poof-" Immediately, several elders next to him burst out laughing, even if they weren't smiling, they covered their mouths to the side, "Are you going to train the next Pei Ye?" ”

Xu Xiake took the book, the cover of the book was not at all like the Ren He book he had read before, it felt smooth, as if it was wrapped in a layer of glaze, and when it was opened, the pages inside were neat, and although the font was small, it was clear and abnormal. The only thing that made him dizzy was that there must be Chinese characters on it, but there were many of them that he couldn't read, so he couldn't help but look up at Du Yande and ask, "May I ask what ...... this character is?" ”

"Oh, this is a simplified character, a simplified character for our Chinese characters." Du Yande said while looking at Xu Xiake with a little apprehension.
