The three-day holiday ended soon, factories began to resume work and production, and water conservancy construction began in villages.

As soon as the holiday was over, Yan Zheng sent a new calendar to each village, named "Gregorian Calendar".

This calendar would begin to guide agricultural production, and all agricultural technicians were called to the Red Room to receive the initial popularization of the knowledge of the Gregorian calendar.

In fact, it can't be regarded as popular, and it is simply told to them how to guide agricultural planting according to the solar calendar every year.

In fact, the lunar calendar we used in later generations is very close to the current solar calendar, because during the Qing Dynasty, Matteo Ricci was responsible for revising and compiling the lunar calendar.

That's right, the lunar calendar we used in later generations was actually made up by a foreigner!

As soon as the new calendar is promulgated, the agricultural production of Dongfan Island will be more rationalized.

With the agricultural fertilizer and hydrothermal conditions, within two or three years, it can surpass Daming in terms of yield per mu.

And changing the calendar is indeed a major event of great political significance.

The emperors of all dynasties promulgated the Great Unification Calendar every year in order to demonstrate the legitimacy of the imperial court.

Successive Chinese monarchs, starting from the Confucian monarchy and divine authority, are to pay attention to the emperor's legal system from heaven!

Therefore, whenever I see the historical records, there is often a very thick pen and ink to record various celestial changes.

For the ancients, the change of celestial phenomena was a kind of implication.

The unlucky emperor encountered something wrong with the sky, and he had to hurry up and issue an edict.

……

Salt Harbor, Quarantine Zone.

Here I received the solar calendar, which is already the sixth day of the first month.

Since Yan Zheng also rewarded some jerky and wine on Chinese New Year's Eve, the victims here can be regarded as having a so-so year.

After receiving the solar calendar, Aunt He immediately handed over the solar calendar to a few children according to the instructions, and asked them to bring the new calendar into the classroom.

At this time, there were already four children in the quarantine area, and compared with the more than 2,000 victims here, they were really high-level intellectuals.

After they received the solar calendar, they couldn't figure out the origin of this calendar, but looking at the solar terms above, they still understood it more or less.

"This king of Dongfan, he is really not a mediocre person, he created pinyin, simplified Chinese characters, changed the line, and now he has to change the calendar!" A boy named Qiu Ruicai took this solar calendar and sighed.

Qiu Ruicai is one of the first batch of victims to be a scholar who has fallen here, so he has some seniority advantages for latecomers.

Now, in addition to teaching, he has received a booklet called "Principles of Geometry" and is studying it every day.

Lin Hongde, another child on the side, sighed, he was nearly sixty years old, and this time he came to Dongfan, there was only one old wife, and his son and daughter were all starving to death.

He was a little worried: "This shows that he is unwilling to obey the teachings of the Ming Dynasty, and vows to make a difference from the Ming Dynasty!"

"It is not a Daming domain, and there is no name of Dongfan in the Daming Guild Canon! Dongfan is not even qualified to pay tribute, even so, there must be no need to follow the teachings of the Ming Dynasty! Sun Maodian said that he was the youngest of these people, and the only one who was not a child, he was actually just a student, and he didn't even get into the Tongsheng exam, but after coming to Dongfan, he called himself a child.

Xiao Erlin, another child, also sighed, he took a sip of wine and said, "We are in a barbarian land, if we are not willing to practice enlightenment here, what is the use of the sage books that we have studied hard?"

The four of them all sighed, they learned the four books and five classics, in Dongfan Island did not allow them to teach, only let them learn the method of pinyin, with the phonetic textbook, to teach these students literacy.

At first, they also thought that these barbarians could create a pinyin method to learn Chinese characters, presumably because they were inclined to sinicization, but after a while, they were surprised to find that the cultural relics here are all not through the Central Plains.

"Since Dongfan has gone to such great lengths to recruit Han people, and is unwilling to lean towards sinicization, why is it?" Sun Maodian asked.

Qiu Ruicai pondered: "It must be the lack of manpower in Dongfan, so there is this move!" It is said that there is also a lot of wasteland on the Huguang side, and the local gentry vigorously recruited displaced people to cultivate for them! ”

"I'm afraid it's more than that!" Sun Maodian's eyes sharpened, and he said in a low voice: "What do you think of Dongfan's sword soldiers?"

"Sharp! Firearms, in particular, are like thunderbolts when they fire, and they are devastating! ”

"His soldiers are also brave, especially the black-faced soldiers, that day I saw a few black-faced soldiers, walking on the ground in the dense forest."

Sun Maodian smiled slightly: "With such a sword soldier, with the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, who can not resist being moved?"

The rest of the people were stunned, and they all felt that this made sense.

If there are many Han people, the grain and grass are abundant, and then look back at the wealth of Daming, that barbarian doesn't want to go to Daming to see the world of flowers?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will be sixty in two years! I really don't want to toss anymore, if I can teach in Dongfan and live, even if I die! Lin Hongde saw that the topic was wrong, so he quickly picked himself out.

Qiu Ruicai frowned and thought for a while and said, "The Lu of the Eater, the matter of loyalty to the Monarch!" I'll just wait for peace of mind, as for what the king thinks, we'd better not ask! ”

Sun Maodian smiled, touched the stubble that had just grown half an inch and said, "You and I still look like a Ming person?"

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Erlin's eyes widened.

"It's not interesting, just to remind you that we are all outcasts of the Ming Dynasty!" Sun Maodian glanced at everyone and said, "Don't you want to have a future here?"

The other three were silent, they knew in their hearts that since they fought Dongfan, many things could not go back.

"What is done here is probably just to change the summer with raze! But no matter what you do, you won't leave us readers! Sun Maodian said eloquently: "In my opinion, learn to become a martial artist, and the goods are with the emperor's family!" As long as the king of Dongfan appreciates us, we also have a great future! ”

"For the rest of my life, I just want to teach! Don't talk about anything else! Don't talk about anything else! Lin Hongde hurriedly said.

Qiu Ruicai glanced at Sun Maodian in a complicated way, and muttered: "The Lu of the Eater, the matter of loyalty to the Monarch!" I don't want to care about the rest, as for what happens to the same Ming, that's his king's business, and I won't have a backstab! ”

Xiao Erlin touched the hair on the top of his head and said, "When the hair grows out, I still have to grow my hair!" Since Dongfan doesn't care about growing hair and clothes, I still don't want to give up my previous clothes. ”

Sun Maodian glanced at the three of them with disdain, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Scholars are like this, four people have four hearts, everyone is a little cautious, and they are not willing to show it too early.

For them, they are in Dongbo at the moment, and the prospects are not clear, so they are reluctant to express their stance too much.

are waiting for substantial benefits to fall on their heads, but they dare not come forward.

And in the hearts of these people, although they hide their hatred for Daming, they are full of yearning and fear for Daming.

In their eyes, Daming is the real land of splendid articles, and the land of barbarians is a land of barbarians after all.

…………

And just as this group of poor sour drinks was talking, the first boat of the year also came outside the trestle.

Second Aunt He was very strange, thinking about the Song family's ship, didn't she say that the boat would leave after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?

When she stepped forward to ask, she was immediately taken aback!

The person who came was actually a person from Ningbo Prefecture, and he came to see Yan Zheng on behalf of Zhang He.

The two ships were full of gifts and goods for Yan Zheng!
