The visit to the farm, Fang Yizhi felt very rewarding.

I learned new words such as 'nutrition', 'dystocia rate', and 'strong country and strong species'.

So after a sumptuous hospitality dinner.

Lying on the big bed in the reception room, Fang Yizhi couldn't fall asleep over and over, there were a lot of new things in his head, as well as some new theories that were not very mature, as well as such and such inspirations, which made people excited, confused, frightened, and saw infinite light.

In the past ten years, he has received traditional education, some of the Confucian values such as the people are noble and the monarch is light, the sacrifice of life for righteousness, and the family and the country have been realized in Xujiazhuang, some have seen the completely opposite side, and some have found another way, and there are similar things.

In short, it brought him a very big ideological impact.

Because he really couldn't sleep, he actually became interested in the energy-saving lamp in the room, turning the switch on and off hundreds of times, but he really didn't understand, how did this light turn on? Why is it so bright?

……

The next morning.

Seeing Fang Yizhi with double panda eyes and messy hairstyle, he knew at a glance that he hadn't slept well.

Xu Yuan was surprised: "Brother Mi, what's wrong with you, but it's because you're not used to sleeping in the bed in the reception room?" ”

"Master Xu, Mr. Xu."

Fang Yizhi said to him deeply: "You don't have to call me a secret brother, the so-called master is the teacher, the elder is the teacher, yesterday's visit, Fang Mou gained a lot, and felt a lot, I want to worship the master of the village as a teacher, I don't know if Mr. is willing to teach me?" Solve the doubts in my heart, and I am willing to perform the disciple ceremony and serve the gentleman's side. ”

Worship the owner of the village as a teacher, this is a decision made by Fang Yizhi after a night of insomnia.

He has so many questions, too many things he wants to know, he wants answers, he wants to find a new direction.

Because he is keenly aware that this Xujiazhuang contains many different things, just like the "Yaojiang School" and "Taizhou School" established under the influence of Mr. Yangming, which are quite different from traditional Confucianism and have a lot of innovations.

But this Xujiazhuang may be a more different set of things, more shocking, containing some kind of potential to subvert everything, and the other party has a strong attraction with wisdom, which makes him want to learn and understand, and get a glimpse.

Therefore, there was an impulse to apprentice to the owner of the village.

"Brother Mi, you don't have to be like this."

Xu Yuan shook his head and said: "I'm just a few years older than you, I can't be your teacher, we can be called brothers, as for any doubts you have, I'll take you to walk around and see more, discuss one or two with each other, you can find many answers yourself, no need to deliberately apprentice." ”

"Okay, thank you, Brother Xu."

So after breakfast, Xu Yuan continued to take Fang Yizhi to inspect all parts of the manor, this time Fang Chengxiu did not follow, and his daughter Fang Qingyan was entertaining him.

This time I went to the workshop area.

He visited and inspected more than 10 workshop facilities, including brick kiln factory, furniture factory, iron mill, rice mill, canning factory, textile factory, and non-staple food factory (noodles, vermicelli, and biscuits).

Xu Yuan explained on the side:

"The main purpose of establishing a workshop is to improve production efficiency with the help of machinery and equipment, bring more daily necessities to people, and improve the utilization rate of agricultural products with added value.

"Industry is the key to the country's prosperity and the intuitive embodiment of national strength and national fortune."

"For example, this large-scale brick kiln factory run by Xujiazhuang adopts the most advanced kiln firing method, which can open a kiln of bricks every day, burn 150,000 green bricks and red bricks, 500 stones of cement, and a number of tiles, enough to build ten houses, and in a year, it can meet the needs of 3,600 households, so that all the villagers in Xujiazhuang can live in comfortable, safe, bright and beautiful brick and wood buildings, and the building life is at least 50 years."

"Our furniture factory adopts a standard customization and assembly line production mode, which does not require a master carpenter to complete all the processing links, and uses a high-speed chainsaw to cut wooden boards, which is 100 times more efficient than manual saws, cutting hundreds of planks per hour; The use of iron nails to bite instead of the time-consuming and demanding tenon process and to ensure greater strength, the 100 workers of this furniture factory can make thousands of pieces of furniture every day when the raw materials are sufficient. ”

"The large-scale rice mill of the rice mill can process tens of thousands of catties of rice and wheat hulling a day, and the efficiency is 10,000 times that of manpower rice, a thousand times that of livestock pulling stones, and hundreds of times that of hydraulic machinery, which will free countless women from heavy and inefficient rice work, and save at least one hour of time every day, which can be used for rest or other labor activities, and significantly improve the economic benefits created by women."

"The significance of the canning factory is greater, it can produce the fruits, meat, fish, vegetables, etc. that farmers can not consume in time, after processing, sealed and stored in canned food, and then sterilized by high temperature, so that its shelf life is short for one year, long for more than three years, with canned food, fruits growing on the mountain, pigs, cattle, sheep and poultry in the farm, fish in the river, vegetables in the field, in the case that it is impossible to eat in the short term, there are additional preservation means, on the one hand, reduce the waste of food; second, it can sell canned food to bring more income; Third, it is easy to transport and preserve, and can be eaten when opened, which not only brings convenience, but also improves the utilization rate of food, and is an industry that can bring many positive effects. ”

"The purpose of the establishment of the non-staple food factory is to enrich the variety of food through deep processing, and secondly, to process potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn that are produced in the field but not long enough to be stored for a long time into dry vermicelli and corn flour. Excess soybeans and black beans are also processed into dried tofu, bean curd, bean curd, soy sauce, and spicy strips and other snacks. ”

Fang Yizhi's heart moved, he felt that the canning factory was very good.

Because the people in many places in Daming, although they are suffering from natural and man-made disasters and facing serious hunger, it does not mean that Daming will lack food and will not encounter the problem of overfood.

For example, because the traffic remains unchanged, some people living in mountainous areas have wild fruits all over the mountains in autumn, and all kinds of prey and mountain goods obtained in the mountains sometimes cannot be eaten at all, and there is no good means of preservation, and they will be spoiled after a long time, causing a lot of waste, not to mention, nor can it bring economic benefits.

Another example is the fishermen who live by the sea, the seafood they pick up from the sea, the fish and shrimp caught from the sea, when they go ashore and leave the sea, they will rot and stink after only a few hours, and they cannot eat at all, so few fishermen living on the seashore can get rich by selling fish, and most of them are in a state of extreme poverty.

If we can solve the problem of long-term preservation of seafood, fish and shrimp, seal it with canned food, and then sell it in large quantities to places where there is a shortage of food, wouldn't it be able to save a lot of hungry people?

The sea is boundless, the fish in the sea are endless, and even if you catch only a very small part, you don't know how many people can be fed.

Come to think of it.

Fang Yizhi was moved, and had the idea of introducing equipment from Xujiazhuang and opening a canning factory, not to make money, but to help the hungry people as much as possible.

"Brother Mizhixian, opening a canning factory, can't save many people, even if you open ten hundred canneries, increase the food supply, you can't save many people, those poor people at the bottom, most of them are penniless, there is no money to buy canned food, not to mention the emergency does not help the poor, those hungry people have no land, no job, no security, you can help them for a while, but you can't help them for a lifetime, you have to solve their problems at the source."

Xu Yuan shook his head and said noncommittally.

"So how do you solve the problem at the source?" Fang Yizhi asked.

"It's simple, either give them a piece of land that is enough to feed a family, and the court tax must be set within the affordability; Either join a collective estate like Xujiazhuang, have a stable income that can support the family every month, use collective labor and group cooperation to fight against the destruction of natural disasters, refuse the bones of corrupt officials and officials, and learn all cultural knowledge to avoid being controlled and deceived by the clan gentry. Then grasp the most advanced and efficient industrial productive forces, when they occupy the vast majority of their resources, I believe that they can not only change their own destiny, but also turn over and become their own masters, and no one can oppress them. ”

Xu Yuan expressed his own opinion.

Fang Yizhi didn't seem to understand, and he felt that it was seriously beyond his comprehension, the hungry people are just hungry people, and the people are just the people, just obey the law, how can he be his own master? As long as there are Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers, they will be able to live a good life under the rule of the world.

Seeing Fang Yizhi's confused and dazed look, Xu Yuan did not explain too much, nor did he comprehensively elaborate his thoughts.

Just after visiting the Completion Workshop area.

took Fang Yizhi and entered the Xujiazhuang School in Lengbao, gave him the permission to be an auditor, and allowed him to listen to classes freely in the Xujiazhuang School, and study with primary school students in the Xujiazhuang education system with a high level of confidentiality.

Two days.

Just two days.

In the Xujiazhuang School, in the textbooks of primary school students, Fang Yizhi did not see the subtle words of Confucius, nor did he learn to sacrifice his life for righteousness, let alone the traditional cultural ideas such as the family and the country, the world, the heaven and the earth, and the princes and teachers, only the "Workers and Peasants are Great", "The Laborers Create the World", "The History of the People" in the Chinese textbooks, as well as various ghost drawings and theorem formulas in the mathematics textbooks, but they can calculate many complex problems.

Wrong.

Something is very wrong.

Fang Yizhi felt that everything in this magical and weird Xujiazhuang was becoming more and more wrong and incompatible with the inherent thinking in his brain.

It was very absurd and grotesque, everything here seemed to negate and destroy everything that had been built up in his mind for the past twenty years, and it gave him a feeling of extreme fear, and the more he looked into it, the more he wanted to flee.

But on the contrary, he couldn't find many faults and loopholes, and saw many advantages with his own eyes, which proved the correctness of Xujiazhuang's set.

At least the primary school students in Xujiazhuang School gave him a very different feeling, all of them regarded themselves as small masters of the manor, very confident, lively and free, advanced in thought, not bound and suppressed by traditional etiquette, especially the performance of female students, which simply made him see a new world.

……

Day 3.

The tour is over, and you have to go back.

"Brother Xu."

Before leaving, Fang Yizhi gave another deep salute and said to Xu Yuan: "In the past few days, I have opened my eyes and gained a lot, but I am busy with mundane affairs, and I want to go to the capital to do something...... However, Brother Xu's Xujiazhuang, when I come back, can Fang be allowed to continue visiting? If you are really embarrassed, I am willing to join Xujiazhuang, become a part of here, learn practical skills, and do more things for the people of the world. ”

"Xujiazhuang is not a place that can be joined casually."

Xu Yuan shook his head: "To join Xujiazhuang, you have to shave your hair and be easy to wear, you must completely abandon the old ideas of the past, and embrace the new knowledge and new ideas here, these must be difficult for you to do, you think about it carefully, and when you come back next time, Xujiazhuang still welcomes you." ”

"Okay, thank you Brother Xu!"

Fang Yizhi saluted deeply again, and then turned around and left with a complicated mood.
