In late February, the southern warbler sings and dances, and a hundred flowers compete for beauty. The rice paddies on both sides of the railway line have been covered with green seedlings, and the vibrant pastoral scenery is clear at a glance. As the temperature rises, the train is intertwined with the ancient charm of the modern atmosphere, which is picturesque and intoxicating.

The train is running on the beautiful Jianghan Plain, and the beautiful scenery of Tianmo has attracted the attention of the female dependents. Among the female dependents, the first lady Wan'er is obviously superior in knowledge and knowledge, which is inseparable from Deng Zixuan's subtle edification. Some people analyze that men are rational animals and women are emotional animals, and the difference between the two lies in their different views and understandings of things. At this time, a large field of rape appeared on the left side of the train, and the chrysanthemum-yellow rape flowers attracted the attention of the women.

Hearing the chirping and laughter of the female dependents, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Kwong Jiazhi said: "President, this year's Spring Lake is full of wind and rain, and it is expected to be another bumper harvest year. At the beginning of the year, water conservancy facilities were built on a large scale in key areas to prevent problems before they occur. Deng Zixuan nodded, and his eyes turned to Lin Xu. President, our provincial government has made a lot of preparations according to the characteristics of different regions, and has made rescue arrangements in the event of a flood. ”

Deng Zixuan said: "The incidence of natural disasters in China is the highest in the world, so local governments should put disaster prevention in the first place, and people's livelihood problems are greater than the sky. Riots in all dynasties have been the main cause of tyranny, and natural disasters are the biggest triggers. Natural disasters are irresistible, but we can do it with humanistic care. In the event of a disaster, the local government must first rescue the victims. This article should be included in the performance of the local government and is the most important evaluation criterion. ”

Lin Xu said: "President, according to your conception. Do not bring blood to the deformed economic development results, but also to ensure the well-being of the people's livelihood, we according to the local situation, and constantly improve the economic development model, mainly let the market to lead, the current operation is good. Although the spread of agricultural mechanization has been somewhat slow, there is a momentum of improvement. With the rise of large industrial cities such as Wuhan and Changsha. A large number of peasants were liberated from the land and poured into the towns, but the grain output of our Huguang did not decrease, but increased year by year. Many landowners are already aware of the crisis. Began to move to mechanized farming mode. ”

Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "This is called the agrarian revolution, and this form of change is subtle and occurs naturally without destroying the rural social structure. When the peasants really wake up, they will no longer rely on the land as the only way to survive. The urbanization and industrialization of the empire will bring about great changes. You will also be deeply unaware of the profound significance of this change. I'm sure this change will be upside down in a decade or so. ”

Li Hongzhang said with deep feelings: "The great idea of the president has no predecessors and no one will come after. As the saying goes: Huguang is ripe for the world, and Huguang has had a bumper harvest for 5 consecutive years, which is unique in history. What is even more exciting is that rice cultivation has begun on a large scale in northern China, especially in the three eastern provinces. The popularization of advanced agricultural science and technology has eclipsed the traditional grain-producing areas in the south of the Yangtze River. The government began to hoard grain on a large scale last year, and the empire solved problems that previous dynasties could not solve. ”

Li Hongzhang seemed to be emotionally moved: "The president began to pay attention to the food problem before the rebellion, and invested a lot of money in agricultural science and technology and grain breeding. It can be said that the president has a crush on the food problem. It was to the point of China, for what president could easily overthrow the Manchu Dynasty. For what has been fighting for many years, the common people have no people and no livelihood, and it is food that has played a leading role. In the past, we relied entirely on the weather for food, but now we are gradually adopting irrigated agriculture, and we can still achieve a good harvest. ”

Li Hongzhang continued: "Sometimes I am very confused about how the president's brain is formed, an outstanding military genius, an outstanding business genius, and an outstanding political genius. What puzzles me the most is that the president actually solved China's thousand-year-old problem of food in a magical way, and the old man had to look up to the sky to ask, is it difficult that the president is really sent by God? But the president is sitting in front of us, and he is a man of flesh and blood, and he does not see any mystery. The old man has to admit that the president is the person who is the world's leader today, and no one can match him. ”

"Master Li is praising me again, making me embarrassed. All the achievements are not due to me alone, but the result of the hard work of everyone here. Deng Zixuan waved his hand. Li Hongzhang stubbornly said: "The modesty of the president can be called a virtue, but everything that the empire has achieved today is completely under your wise leadership, which is indisputable." In my hometown, for example, the number of tenants has been reduced by one-third, and I have been forced to adopt mechanized and intensive farming methods, and food production has not only not decreased, but increased by 30%. At present, my estate has begun to diversify its operations, and according to the new terminology of the president, what is the breeding industry, deep processing of crops, etc., the economic benefits have increased by 2 times. ”

When it comes to the topic of agriculture, everyone has started to discuss it enthusiastically. In agriculture, Kwong Jiazhi is a senior expert, and several people immediately had a heated discussion around him. Soon, the topic of discussion became a dry topic. Deng Zixuan shifted his gaze and said: "The topic of agriculture is stopped, our next stop is Changsha, do you have any mood to listen to my comments on Changsha's cultural landscape and the role that the city will assume in the future." When everyone heard this, they were emotional.

Deng Zixuan smiled: "Searching the historical trajectory of Changsha, you can see the wonderful city of Changsha. According to historical documents, Changsha was founded about 3,000 years ago, and this ancient city can serve as a model for China's long history. Because of the influence of Qu Yuan and Jia Yi, it is known as the hometown of Qu Jia. The Yuelu Academy that appeared during the Song Dynasty represents the essence of Hunan and Chu culture, and it is also a wonder in the Han cultural family. ”

"As the birthplace of Hunan and Chu culture, Changsha has a strong cultural atmosphere and characteristics, and has produced many talents over the generations. Not to mention, Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang of the previous dynasty are all outstanding representatives. Zuo Zongtang's military talent has been known to the world, although he was martyred for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but still did not lose his good name, I still deeply respect him, and Zeng Guofan, as the first person in Hunan in the late Qing Dynasty, it is necessary to be colorful. Li Hongzhang's expression was a little mixed.

"As an important minister of the former dynasty, Zeng Guofan suppressed the Taiping Rebellion and created the Hunan army and Hunan culture. It can be said that Zeng Guofan single-handedly saved the precarious Manchu Dynasty. Zeng Guofan's personality charm has not disappeared so far, and Zeng Gong's "Family Letter" and "Zeng Chengchengwen's Complete Works" have been published. His life, his wisdom, and his thoughts have had a wide impact, and his positive energy will live on forever. At this time, Li Hongzhang was in tears.

Deng Zixuan saw Li Hongzhang burst into tears and stopped talking, Li Hongzhang wiped away his tears with a handkerchief and said: "The old man is shy, as a disciple of Zeng Gong, he has never made such a comment on his teacher, and he is ashamed in his heart. Speaking of the teacher, what influenced me was the teacher's precepts, namely: sincerity, respect, quietness, prudence, and perseverance, and these five words have influenced my life. ”

"The first word is sincere: for people to be consistent with the inside and outside, everything can be made public. The second word is respect: awe, no evil thoughts in the heart, dignified and solemn and dignified. The third word is tranquility: the mind, qi, spirit, and body should be in a state of tranquility and relaxation. The fourth word is cautious: don't say big words, lies, empty words, there is one is one and two is two. The fifth word is constant: regular life, modest, and daily life. The highest level is "Shen Du", with a god three feet above his head. ”

Everyone praised Deng Zixuan and said: "Lord Li takes Zeng Gong's 5-character mantra as the way of self-cultivation, which highlights the virtues of Fenggong's tradition. Self-cultivation, governing the country, and leveling the world, first of all, when it comes to self-cultivation, the meaning is particularly important. If you are not right, you are not upright enough to give to others. In the future, Zeng Gong's five-character mantra will be used as the motto of officials, and in the future, when we promote and evaluate officials, we must first meet the minimum standards expounded in the five-character mantra of Fenggong. ”

The conversation was a little serious, and Deng Zixuan turned to a relaxed topic and continued: "Changsha, as the cultural center of Huguang, also has a unique geographical location. Surrounded by mountains and green water, the average temperature of Changsha is about 18 degrees Celsius. There is not much hot weather in Changsha in summer, and there is no severe cold in winter. At present, Changsha has formed a cultural and commercial city in the south of the Yangtze River, which is the future development direction of Changsha. ”

Lin Xu said: "After more than ten years of rapid development, Changsha is now based on Yuelu Academy and has formed a middle and higher education college area. So far, there are 15 universities, 22 junior colleges and 35 high schools in Changsha. In the future, Changsha City will build a cultural brand and form a base for colleges and universities. In the next three years, Changsha University will reach 20. According to the president's request, Yuelu Academy was to be on a par with Tongren University in Shanghai and become an institution of higher learning for the training of imperial officials??????。 ”

The train entered the hills from the plains and soon arrived in Changsha. Deng Zixuan's introduction to the cultural landscape of Changsha City made everyone preconceived. They first visited Yuelu Academy, a thousand-year-old academy that not only maintained its original appearance, but also doubled in size. Subsequently, Deng Zixuan and his entourage, accompanied by Governor Lin Xu and Mayor of Changsha, visited several universities respectively. Deng Zixuan delivered an important speech at Changsha University of Science and Technology and caused a sensation in Changsha City.

Changsha is the birthplace of Hunan cuisine, so the food in Changsha City makes Deng Zixuan and others feast. After staying in Changsha City for 4 days, Deng Zixuan and his entourage continued south, aiming for Guangzhou, the last stop in China. After Deng Zixuan and his entourage boarded the bus, Lin Xu, the governor of Huguang, did not continue to accompany him. (To be continued......)

PS: Changsha, as a famous civilized city, has begun to play its unique role.
