Chapter 4 Communication

Zhao Cheng didn't leave after coming to this room, he took out some notebooks and pens, wrote and painted, and made all kinds of plans.

He understood that the misty in Shuixi believed him, and was only in an attitude of trying.

If he wants to truly gain trust, Zhao Cheng needs to show real talent and learning.

Only when the real benefits and benefits can make the people of Shuixi live a good life, will these leaders of Shuixi trust him, believe in him, and support his plan.

Zhao Cheng has a preliminary understanding of Shuixi's sphere of influence, which is probably around Qianxi, close to Banzhou Yang in the north, Shuidong Song in the northeast, and Sizhou Tian in the east and southeast.

Such a geographical location is very important, and it is even more important for the current situation in the Ming Dynasty.

To the west of Shuixi is Yunnan, to the northwest is Xuzhou Prefecture, and to the south can also enter Guangxi.

It can be called a core hub.

If you can control Wusa in the southwest, it will almost choke the throat of the imperial court's attack on Yunnan.

If you want to contain the Ming army and prevent the Ming army from attacking Yunnan, this position will be the key.

All this, Zhao Cheng naturally has to plan it well!

"National teacher, it's just time!"

Mrs. Xiang shouted for the second time before waking up Zhao Cheng, who was immersed in work.

"Well, ah, ma'am......"

Zhao Cheng hurriedly got up and hurriedly bowed.

"What is the national teacher doing? So fascinating? ”

Mrs. Xiang wandered through the side room, walked to the table, looked at the strange paper on the table, and the cylindrical strange utensils, and was quite surprised, "What are these?" ”

She picked up a piece of paper and a pen casually, and the feel and touch were simply ...... For a while, I couldn't find the right words to describe it.

But in an instant, she suddenly understood, "This is your pen and paper from the Central Plains?" Oh, it's really peculiar. ”

"It's pen and paper, not only peculiar, but mainly convenient and practical."

Zhao Cheng simply sorted out these A4 papers and notebooks and vacated the space on the table.

"This kind of paper and pen can be mass-produced in Shuixi in the future, so that the people of Shuixi can read, write, and have cultural ......."

"Can you read, write, and be educated?" Mrs. Xiang was shocked, this kind of scene is very beautiful when you think about it, and she is also very skeptical, is this really something that Shuixi can achieve?

Not to mention Shuixi, as far as she knows, the reading rate in Bashu in the north is very low, and the reading rate in the Central Plains and Jiangnan may be higher, but it is impossible to cover all the people.

It's so difficult in the world, you have to work very hard to live and let everyone study?

How different is this from daydreaming?!

However, if it can really be realized, so that everyone can read, be educated, and become talents......

What a time it would be!

"Well, it's still difficult now, but in the future, one can be realized, and I plan to spend three years, three years to carry out a literacy campaign in Shuixi, and at the same time, all school-age children should go to school, which will be a long-term project......

Zhao Cheng took the food box in Mrs. Xiang's hand, laid out the meal with the maid, and at the same time said some general plans to Mrs. Xiang.

"I'm afraid that the national teacher is a little whimsical, and the life of all the people is a problem, how can I have the time and energy to study?"

Mrs. Xiang is very aware of the situation in Shuixi, and after all these years of hard work, it has been much better, at least there are many fewer cases of starvation.

But eating is a problem after all.

The people live on food!

The problem of eating can't be solved, and you still want the people to study?

Crazy!

"No, the problem of living and eating will be solved quickly, as I said, I have a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, or even thousands of catties of grain, and in the future, when I plant a large area, the food problem will be solved.

After solving the food problem, the most important thing is the problem of reading, all children need to read, reading to understand reason, reading to master knowledge, reading to become talents, reasoning, debating right and wrong, but also mastering the knowledge of talents, can greatly promote social development.

As I told my wife about the problem of medical technology, if there are 100 Hua Tuo alive and 1,000 Hua Tuo alive, they will jointly promote the progress of medical technology, and the people's life and health will become better and better, and it will be very common to get sick in the future, and serious diseases, diseases, and terminal illnesses can become treatable diseases.

There are a large number of agricultural science and technology workers, cultivating excellent varieties, making fertilizers, optimizing planting technology, improving planting experience, and continuously developing grain with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu or even 10,000 catties per mu in the future. ”

Shuixi Aicui gave Zhao Cheng such an opportunity, of course he couldn't let it go, and he was going to do a big job.

In his plan, the southwest is the core of the future world, which can cover the whole of Asia and promote the influence of the Xia people infinitely.

Now is the first step of the long march, of course he has to do his best!

Mrs. Xiang couldn't accept so much information at once, but she still understood part of it.

This is still relatively easy to understand.

Mrs. Xiang pondered for a while, it was still difficult for her to trust Zhao Cheng, and it was difficult for her to hand over the fate of hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people in Shuixi, to Zhao Cheng.

If he wants to gain her trust and support, Zhao Cheng must at least show a certain amount of strength and ability.

"Does the national teacher really have a thousand catties of grain per mu?"

"Yes, I'll look for an opportunity to ship it over, but there are some that can't be planted this season, so we need to delay for a while."

There are ten cubic meters of grain seeds in the space of the Zhaocheng system, and only a few tenths of a cubic meter are used in Wushanzhai, and this batch of seeds is planted, and in less than two or three years, the problem of eating for the people of Shuixi will be solved

"National teacher, do you know the situation in Qianzhou? Do you know the topography of the water stream? I know that there is no grain per mu in the Central Plains, and such fertile land cannot produce 1,000 catties per mu. ”

Mrs. Xiang still finds it hard to believe, she knows a lot of situations in the Central Plains, but the Central Plains has not achieved a yield of 1,000 catties per mu, and it is not realistic to grow a grain per mu on the land that is not three feet flat!

As soon as she said it, it was almost impossible to throw Zhao Cheng in the face.

"Mrs. Xiang, I understand, I know what you said, the yield per mu is still conservative, the grain I provide is not the same as rice, it is not the same as wheat, there is no need to plant on the plains, and the need for water is not so high, even if it is in the mountains, it can be planted."

Zhao Cheng understands the characteristics of potatoes and corn very well.

These two things, for the Xia people, have almost turned the wasteland that could not grow rice into fertile land.

In a sense, it has greatly and efficiently used the land of the Xia people and fed more Xia people.

"Many of the national teacher's ideas are very advanced, and the slave can't understand it for the time being, and he still needs more explanations from the national teacher."

Mrs. Xiang did not shy away from it, sat opposite Zhao Cheng, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and prepared to eat with vegetables.

She is busy with work, and now almost all the government affairs of Shuixi fall on her shoulders, no matter how big or small, she has to ask about it, and only now will she have time to eat, and only then will she have time to talk to Zhao Cheng about it.

Emerald believed in him and was willing to let him do his experiments in Waterstream.

But all of this also needs her to check and help with her products.

If she finds that something can't be done, she can also stop it in time to reduce the loss of the stream.

Zhao Cheng was stunned for a moment, but he was not restrained, he was from the twenty-first century, didn't he just eat with a beautiful goddess?

What a deal!

"Well, I'll make a lot of meticulous notes and explain it to Madame."

Zhao Cheng said while picking up vegetables that he had been planning since he saw Ai Cui and came to this room, and he had used more than 40 sheets of A4 paper to paint and paint, and had done a lot of meticulous work, so that he forgot to eat, and he was indeed hungry.

In this era, a few remote areas such as Shuixi are extremely backward in terms of productivity, far lower than those in the Central Plains, and it is indeed a problem to eat, and it is difficult to eat enough, let alone the problem of not being delicious.

Zhao Cheng's requirements for eating are not very high, but he can bear it.

While eating, I communicated with Mrs. Xiang and said many esoteric and obscure words as easy to understand as possible.

"By the way, Mrs. Xiang, do you know simplified Chinese?"

Zhao Cheng talked and realized a problem.

Simplified Chinese characters must be implemented, and it will be convenient for the characters on the water stream to understand simplified characters.

"Simplified?"

Mrs. Xiang was puzzled, she didn't know simplified characters, but she knew some vulgar characters.

The concept of simplified Chinese characters was officially proposed, and it was only after Song Lian died and was resurrected, and now it has only circulated among the powerful and wealthy people of the Xia clan, and it has not yet reached Shuixi.

Of course she didn't know!

"There was a great Confucian in the Central Plains, in order to allow all the people in the world to be able to read and write, simplified Chinese characters into simplified Chinese characters......" Zhao Cheng continued to make up the story.

Regarding the matter of simplified characters, if you can push it to Song Lian, you can push it to Song Lian, he is now in Qianzhou, and he doesn't want to expose his identity yet.

Zhao Cheng explained as he pulled out the paper on the table and pointed to the small words on it.

"No, that's it!"

Madame Xiang had long noticed the words on the paper, many of which she did not recognize, and thought that it was a local character rather than a common Chinese character.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be simplified Chinese.

Don't say it, these words are so beautiful and concise.

"Mrs. Xiang will take a while to come out and find out the people in Shuixi's important positions, I will find time to teach you to simplify Chinese characters, this thing must be known.

Only by learning simplified Chinese can we understand simplified Chinese articles, and only then can we communicate effectively with the Central Plains, introduce each other and learn from each other's experience, so as to make Shuixi develop better. ”

This is also an important reason why Zhao Cheng chose Qianzhou, where the influence of the Central Plains culture is very funny, and many of the concepts of the readers are not as deep-rooted and malleable as the Central Plains, especially in terms of ideological concepts.

People in this era are relatively simple, after all, everyone can run around in order to live, how can they have extra thoughts to think about those messy things.

This alone is much more appropriate than the Central Plains, where the class concept of scholars and doctors is deeply rooted!

Mrs. Xiang nodded, learn, no problem.

The two of them communicated for a long time, although they did not have a long talk, but they also talked about it at night.

Mrs. Xiang can be sure that this Hua Guoshi is indeed a rare talent, and many ideas are too advanced and incredible.

Like what becomes common every day, what you want to be thousands of miles away can be face-to-face conversation, or you don't need to be face-to-face to communicate in real time......

These things really shocked Mrs. Xiang.

Like all the people who listened to Zhao Cheng's story in the past, Mrs. Xiang couldn't believe it, or she just regarded all this as a fantasy, a vision, a dream!

But Zhao Cheng knows very well that all this can be achieved and will definitely be achieved.

Even within a hundred years, Zhao Cheng has information to turn all this into reality in the next few decades.

Seeing that it was late at night, Mrs. Xiang didn't want to disturb Zhao Cheng anymore.

But when she parted, she still asked a question: "Hua Guoshi, you have such a talent that has passed through the heavens and latitudes, why don't you choose the Ming Dynasty, not the Central Plains, and come to a remote area like my Shuixi, and choose a backward group like Shuixi?" ”

Zhao Cheng didn't answer immediately, he knew that it was about Mrs. Xiang's attitude towards him.

Although Ai Cui is the leader of Shuixi in the true sense, he has been sick in bed for many years, and the power is in the hands of Mrs. Xiang.

Mrs. Xiang is the de facto leader of Shuixi today.

"Mrs. Xiang, to tell you the truth, my Hua San's name is just a pseudonym, and I can't tell you my real name for the time being.

My actual identity is taboo in Daming, Emperor Zhu Chongba of Daming wants to kill me and then quickly, in Daming, no matter how many ideas I have and how many plans I have, it is impossible to become a reality.

Moreover, Da Ming is too big.

A lot of things can't be changed if you want to.

Even if it is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to achieve absolute control, and it is difficult for the scholar class to return, so it is impossible for me to show my skills at all!

But the water stream is different, the water stream is much smaller in size, and the change can have an effect in a short period of time.

Of course, I didn't hide it from my wife, I came to Qianzhou from the Central Plains, went to the Northeast Shuidong clan, and also went to the Banzhou Yang clan, but the result was the same, I was driven out by them.

Originally, I was almost driven away by my wife, but I will definitely exhaust all my life's learning, and I will also make my ambition a reality. ”

Zhao Cheng didn't say those flowery words, nor did he say anything like the heavens, and told the facts very usually.

Mrs. Xiang paced around the room, as if she was thinking, but as if she were not.

For Zhao Cheng's words, she listened to every word, but she didn't say anything, and she didn't show the slightest emotion.

After a long time, she continued to ask, "Then what is your purpose?" Don't say anything about the fulfillment of Tho Mu's ambition, you must not believe these words. ”

Zhao Cheng stood next to the table, and there were several lights lit in the room, although it was late at night, it was bright.

The light of the fire shone on his face, outlining the sharp edges and corners of his face.

He did not lie, nor did he have the need to lie, but his will was particularly strong, and he said sonorously:

"In order to resist the Ming Dynasty, in order to contain Fu Youde's army, prevent them from recovering Qianzhou, and pacify Yunnan!"
