After staying for a day or two in the country of Thamjin, the envoys found that the toilets were of gold, the spittoons of silver, and the pearls and gems were thrown into the trash as cheap objects, contrary to their own valuing of gold, silver, and jewelry;

And they saw that one of the criminals had more gold in him than all three of their envoys had dressed. They were so depressed and ashamed that they had to put away all the gorgeous costumes that made them arrogant.

"Why do you despise gold, silver, and pearls so much?"

An envoy finally couldn't help himself and asked.

An official of the Thornjin Kingdom replied to him: "The brightest is the sun, moon and stars in the sky, the noblest is the grace and noble character, the most beautiful is the true color of nature, and the happiest is to live freely." We have all of this, so why let lifeless gold and silver jewels occupy our minds and bind our bodies?! ”

Straw

Straw weaving is a characteristic industry of the country of Thornjin. The raw material is layered Mulberry grass.

Layered horseweed is inherently flexible and can be woven into a variety of objects. Such as baskets, baskets, grocery bags, packaging bags, fruit bags.

Straw weaving is generally plain weave, based on the warp and weft, according to a certain law of each other continuous pick up (weft on the warp) and down (weft under the warp) to form a pattern. The technique is simple and easy to learn.

Everyone in the country knows how to weave straw. There are straw weaving factories in the residential areas of each residential area, and the large sites are mostly woven baskets, baskets, and large food bags; If the site is small, such as residents, they will weave small packaging bags and braided straw braids.

Each community also set up a straw buying company to purchase scattered woven goods. But no matter what item is knitted into and what size it is, the company will accept it.

In order to make it easier for people to take materials, layered Malian grass has a special storage place in each community, hotels, shops and other public places, there are straw materials, whoever wants to take it, all for free, no need to tell anyone.

Each household is also well prepared, and can pick up the weaving at hand. Since there is no limit to the size, it is enough to have a flat floor in front of you (a flat plank, a table, a stool, or even on your knees).

Collect straw weaving and swipe the card, according to the average number of weaving in three hours, reach the average number, and record half a day of work points. The fast ones didn't take three hours, and the slow ones had to fly the stupid birds first and enter the forest late.

However, the slowest will not take more than four hours.

Due to the flexibility of the straw weaving site, people who work in straw weaving generally weave at home. Especially women, who like to weave quietly at home alone, like lively groups of three or five together, talking and laughing while weaving, using their hands and mouths and brains, and turning work into entertainment.

People put the woven straw bags, bundle them according to the size, and hand them over to the straw receiving company. The staff in the company weighed according to the size, swiped the loyalty card, and then sorted it into warehouses.

Don't look at the different sizes of straw bags, but they can be fair and reasonable. The division of points for both large and small has been rigorously tested. Regardless of whether you knit a large or a small one, the points obtained at the same time are the same.

That is to say, at the same time, if it is numbered in large size, it must be more than in small size. But the points earned are the same. And because the trumpet is not limited by the environment, the average family likes to weave the trumpet.

If you want to make a trumpet, take off the scraps. This lays the foundation for saving raw materials.

People who don't have a regular job are knitting, and their points are basically the same as those with a regular job. As long as you have time, you can basically keep your hands on the weaving. There are often several women who get together and knit while making household chores.

The weaving of layered Malis grass is very arbitrary, and the weaving items can be customized according to the size of the material. Long, neat, basket basket. Short, layered uncovered braided grocery bags.

Straw weaving is a characteristic industry of the country, and everyone in the country participates. It can fill several wagons in a day, and the products are sold to countries all over the world, and many countries have signed supply contracts with the country. There is no need to worry about the backlog of goods, because there is still a big gap in the supply of goods.

The importance of straw weaving depends first of all on its environmental protection function.

No matter how dry it is, as long as it is immersed in water, the sponge body expands, and the grass blades (or braids) are bright as ever.

Layered horseberry straw can be reused. There is a certain oily substance in its body, which has a strong repulsive effect on bacteria. When reused, the dirt and bacteria are all gone, and it is safer than disinfecting with disinfectant. No matter what kind of product, even if it is directly used to hold food, it can be reused.

Layered Venetian grass is very flexible. No matter how dry it is, it will not break, and it will return to its original state when it comes into contact with water. As long as it is not man-made or broken by sharp objects, the service life is quite long.

The straw is very breathable, and the food is stored in it, and it is not wet, moldy or rotten. Good freshness.

As the saying goes, brine points tofu, and one thing drops one thing. What is most feared by stratified Malis is an anaerobic acidic microorganism in the soil, as long as it is buried in the soil, it will rot within ten days. Once straw weaving is at the end of its life, it provides great convenience for handling it.

After the straw decays, it is decomposed by microorganisms in the soil to form humus (organic matter). Humus is not only the main source of soil nutrients, but also has an important impact on the physical, chemical and biological properties of soil, and is one of the indicators of soil fertility. In terms of farmland construction, it has played a good virtuous circle.

tourism

Citizens who wish to visit friends or visit another neighbourhood can easily get permission from the district council. Unless there is a good reason not to let them go.

Therefore, a group of travelers set out, holding a letter of introduction from the neighborhood committee, proving that they were allowed to go out, and the date of return was specified. They can travel on all long-distance passenger vehicles free of charge.

Throughout the journey, citizens take nothing but their own loyalty cards, but they do not lack anything, and they eat and live wherever they go, as if they were in their own homes, and they have what they want.

But during the journey, as long as they stayed anywhere for more than one day, each of them took part in his own part of the work in the local area. Only after the day's work is done, then they are treated to food.

As long as a person abides by this condition, he or she can visit any part of the country of Achizu at will. In this way, it is as if he is still contributing to his own industry.

As you can see, there is no room for wasting time or excuses to avoid work, no matter where you are.

On the contrary, in full view, people have to do their usual jobs or spend their spare time properly. Since this is a general fashion, all the goods must be extraordinarily abundant. The commodities were distributed evenly among the whole population, so that no one would become poor or beggar.

Labor and rest

The citizens of the country take pride in their work.

Regardless of gender, everyone learns a special craft. This is typically straw weaving, sewing, construction, welding, woodworking, or food processing. Service industries such as laundry, hairdressing, various vehicle repairs.

The main and almost only purpose is to ensure that there is not a single idler, and that everyone works diligently in their profession, but that they do not work from early morning until late at night, and are as tired as cattle and horses.

Six hours of work are arranged every day: three hours in the morning, two hours of rest after lunch, another three hours of work in the afternoon, and then a break for dinner.

Citizens generally get up at six o'clock, have breakfast at seven o'clock, and start work at eight o'clock. I got off work at eleven o'clock, took a short break, and started lunch at half past eleven. I go to work at half past two in the afternoon (half past three in summer) and have dinner at seven in the evening. Break at 9 to 10 o'clock.

Eight or nine hours of sleep are taken. The spacing between work, sleep and meal time is up to each person to use and engage in some leisure activities according to their hobbies. Few people waste on loitering. Because it was a buffet, there was no time-consuming feast at all. This saves people valuable time.

The country implements a five-day working day and weekend system. Monday to Friday of each week are working days, and Saturday and Sunday are Saturdays and Sundays.

The free time and weekends of each day are arranged by themselves.

However, on two nights on Saturdays and Sundays, public talks are held in each community. The audience that must attend is specially selected from the top of their respective industries, who are responsible for coaching and conducting research.

However, people from all walks of life, both men and women, came in droves. According to each person's preference, there are those who listen to one aspect and those who listen to another.

But if someone prefers to spend this time on their craft, they are left to their own devices. Because their level is not up to the higher and deeper level of using the brain. They do their own craft, which is actually more beneficial to the country.

After dinner, there is an hour of recreational time, in the garden in the summer and in the dining hall in the winter, where music is played or we talk to each other. Harmful games such as gambling are hated by the elderly, and the younger generations will not know what they are.

In all the residential areas of the country, there are no taverns or strong drink shops, no brothels, no courtyards, no places of corruption, no dark holes for dirt and filth, and no places for secret meetings.

Citizens advocate a simple life. Anything that has nothing to do with life, don't do it. Stay light at all times.

Here, color-dyed hairstyles are not visible, and even lipstick, which is the most prevalent for women, is rare.

Here, women pursue natural beauty and natural beauty; Men are looking for a healthy body. Both men and women pursue the cultivation of inner qualities. It is a lifelong goal to learn knowledge, master exquisite skills, and overcome the cutting-edge of science and technology.

Citizens don't bother with dressing. A person is satisfied with five sets of changing clothes.

Of course, there is no reason for citizens to ask for more clothes, because clothes can be changed at any time, and fancy clothes are not recommended. Everyone's desire for common ground is very strong, and no one wants to dress up outstanding, which will attract criticism from everyone.

For all these reasons, citizens abandon all flashy appearances and indulge only in useful work, from which they derive great satisfaction.

But the government~ government does not force citizens to engage in redundant and unproductive labor. To the extent that public needs are not compromised, all citizens should have as much time as possible for spiritual freedom and development, in addition to manual labour, which they consider to be the joy of life.

For example, playing musical instruments, singing, dancing, performances, inventions...... Each person learns an unlimited amount according to their personal interests, both for men and for women.
