Study in the school and study for free!
You can also learn crafts for free!
This fact is still very impactful. In this era, the reward for finding a teacher for children is called "shuxiu".
When meeting a teacher for the first time, you must first give a gift to show respect.
In fact, most farmers cannot pay very high wages, so the cost-effectiveness of studying is not high for them. It is better to let their children go farming earlier.
There are even more rules for learning crafts, including paying homage to the ancestor, worshiping the patron saint of the industry, and performing a master ceremony. The master and his wife sit on the throne, and the apprentice kowtows three times, then kneels to present a red envelope and a post to the master. For the master, for the apprentice, More important than my biological father.
But now, you can find a better job after studying for five years, and the price-performance ratio seems to be somewhat attractive.
Children go to school at the age of six or seven, and when they are teenagers they go out to work, which is just right! What’s more, it’s free!
The old man with the white beard was silent for a moment, and he couldn't understand why the Turtle Mansion could continue to operate. Wouldn't it be a financial deficit? Where did the money come from, and where did so much food come from...
Not to mention free schools, but craftsmanship is not very important and will be eliminated in the future? Why?
In the end I could only sigh.
I don't understand, I don't understand at all.
"Teacher, teacher!"
The old man with a white beard turned his head and heard someone calling him.
It's the young senior brother, Zhongli.
Zhong Li said excitedly: "I went to Qingshi Town to investigate... The road is really smooth. It can pass four or two carriages side by side. It is said that several evil gods mined the rocks and paved it out. of!"
"They can still control evil gods?" The old man with white beard was shocked.
To put it bluntly, "evil gods" are dogs who cannot change their habit of eating shit and are obsessed with cannibalism. Even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva cannot save a few evil beings.
But now, these guys are actually digging mountains and paving roads honestly, which is simply unheard of.
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes!" Zhong Li couldn't help but lower his voice, "Those evil gods... lined up and paved the road honestly. As soon as people passed by, they disappeared directly."
The white-bearded old man murmured: "If Emperor Huangtian has the ability to drive evil gods, he will really be able to subvert the world."
Zhongli continued: "Also, in Qingshi Town, I saw a descendant of the Jiuhua Mountain lineage, a great monk named Qiu Yuan. However, this monk no longer chanted sutras and chanted Buddha's name. What did he study there all day long? The great method of productivity, silly fun and silly fun."
"I also discussed with him for a few words. He said that he had been taught by Buddha and deeply realized that the economic base determines the superstructure, and then he said some mysterious words. In short, he was completely involved in large-scale production."
Monk Qiuyuan?
The old man with the white beard frowned slightly, as if he had heard of it somewhere, and it seemed like it was a story a long time ago.
He couldn't help but think hard, and suddenly thought of something: "That monk, has he changed his religion?"
"Yes, the great monk from Jiuhua Mountain actually changed his faith and stayed firm."
Everyone was shocked. The source of a monk's strength comes from the faith in his heart. If he changes his faith, can he still use what he has learned?
Obviously it can be used, because the monk is teaching the children in Qingshi Town the corresponding techniques!
Even ordinary people can learn some superficial and simple cultivation methods to strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives.
"Zhongyun, what about you?"
"I saw over there that a large number of workers were laying some kind of transportation rails. There might be a thousand workers paving the road." This beautiful girl named Zhong Yun gestured and said: "The rails are two
Thick and long iron ingots are spread on the sleepers, saying they can be used to transport goods."
"After the railway track is opened, it can be reached in one hour in one day's journey."
Several apprentices, with your words and my words, have clearly investigated the changes in the vast areas of Qingshi Town, Hujinkou, and Fenghua City.
Everything reveals a kind of
Unbelievable.
The original government power has completely declined. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one can control it, and the power with Guifu as the core is booming.
The people enthusiastically supported it. When they talked about "Turtle Mansion", their eyebrows lit up, they talked eloquently, and they wished they could become one of the workers.
Yes, the income from working is more than farming at the landlord's house, and it is very stable, so why not work?
Zhong Yun said with some confusion: "Teacher...the turtle coins issued by the Turtle Mansion itself, aren't they..."
She lowered her voice and took out a delicate silver-white coin. There was a piece of jade in the inner circle, with a lifelike turtle engraved on it, and an Arabic numeral 10, which meant it was 10 yuan.
There are no Arabic numerals in the world of mountains and seas, but even illiterate people can learn such simple and easy-to-learn characters - who can't do arithmetic related to money?
Within a few months, it has been widely accepted by the residents of Fenghua City.
"These 10 yuan turtle coins are a month's reward. I exchanged them with silver. They wouldn't give me more turtle coins in exchange. The 10 yuan coin is called silver inlaid jade, and there is also a gold inlaid jade coin.
, the currency is worth 100 yuan."
She took out some other coins, including 1 yuan, 5 cents, 1 cent, 1 cent, and 5 cents.
The basic salary for a young adult is about 4-5 cents a day.
"Salaries are paid out once a month. With this money in their hands, farmers smile and feel extremely at ease."
The old man with a white beard took the coin and looked at it carefully.
This coin may be mixed with copper and tin, making it less likely to rust, but it is much more refined than the copper coins issued by the imperial court. The exquisite turtle pattern on the 10-yuan coin is lifelike and endearing.
I don’t know how such a complicated currency can be produced on a large scale.
Several students also commented: "Just the way it looks makes people really like it."
"The difficulty of counterfeiting is very high."
The second senior brother Zhong He sighed: "Guifu does have detailed plans, it is not the straw bag army of peasant uprisings... Although Fenghua City is small, it is well-organized and well-organized."
There were quite a few peasant uprisings in the Mountain and Sea Realm, but most of them only relied on the power of a certain god. They were prominent and lively for a while, then lost the hearts of the people, and then were suppressed by the imperial army. The god either died or went into hiding.
And what I see now...
From the education of children, to large-scale infrastructure construction, to the issuance of currency, it was gradually planned. Even throughout the whole process, the people's hearts surrendered, and the people enjoyed and integrated into it.
The right time, the right place and the right people, when they come together, it becomes a trend of the times!
Even though this trend of the times is still in the brewing stage, one day it will grow into an overwhelming force and overthrow everything in the world!
While talking about this, a mysterious thought appeared in the mind of the old man with white beard: Change the world!
No matter whether it is the gods above or the human world, there will be major changes.
"Teacher, will this trend destroy the Daqian Dynasty?"
The white-bearded old man was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Let's just go with the flow. Although we are the national advisors of the Daqian Dynasty, we are just trying to adapt to the times and stick to power. This is not our style."
"There is no eternal dynasty in the world. When time comes, it will naturally decline."
"If this general trend is going to overthrow the world of mountains and seas, why not follow the trend?"
"The development here is very orderly, and there are still many things that I don't understand. It's obviously beyond expectations."
He laughed again and called to several students: "I guess the Turtle Spirit Mother is just a piece of skin here, and inside is a terrifying Emperor."
"Let's go into the Turtle Mansion and have a look?"
…
…
Turtle Mansion, the original Taoist temple of Turtle Spirit Mother, has now been transformed into a new mansion.
It is considered the largest administrative agency in Fenghua City.
The Turtle Mansion is responsible for handling large and small affairs in the surrounding areas, led by Gao
It is composed of four parts: the upper-level council, the secretariat and the committee, and the local committee.
In the Shanhai Realm, a world with feudalism as its core, it is too early to talk about various "capitals", "society", various "roads", and various "ideas". There is not enough material foundation, and everything is just a mirror. .
Therefore, the current route is just taking one step at a time.
"What's more, there are also various gods here. The power of the gods is very powerful and has deeply affected the ideology of the people."
"Therefore, it is not appropriate to completely copy the Earth and Blue Star's path." A sociologist spoke out while holding a recent survey report, while a group of people in the audience also listened carefully.
Their every move affects the entire mountain and sea world.
