Although everything last night gave Chen Zhao such a huge impact, Chen Zhao quickly stabilized his mind after waking up in the morning, and he still had to act according to the plan. Chen Zhao checked the Heart Sutra that he prepared yesterday and confirmed that there was no problem, he went to check his sister Chen Xuan's learning progress.
Originally, Chen Zhao thought that Chen Xuan would probably not be able to memorize the huge data of the entire periodic table of elements during the day. For modern students, the periodic table of elements actually only needs to memorize the dozens of commonly used types. Chen Xuan's homework is obviously much more complicated, but facts have proved that Chen Zhao still underestimated Chen Xuan's learning ability.
Chen Xuan was waiting at the door of Chen Zhao's yard early in the morning and found that his brother had actually come out of the main room. He looked back at the gate of the courtyard with a strange look, wondering why his brother had not returned to his yard all night. Chen Zhao did not explain to Chen Xuan, and directly asked Chen Xuan about his progress. However, he did not expect that Chen Xuan had memorized all the data. Not only did he memorize it, she also excitedly announced her major discovery.
Brother, Xuan'er discovered the pattern. The relative atomic mass of each element is equal to the number of protons and neutrons of this element!
Chen Zhao was naturally quite surprised. In his impression, the ancients were relatively dogmatism and not very understanding than modern people. When they thought about the scenes of the ancients' learning, they were children shaking their heads and reciting the Four Books and Five Classics. Unexpectedly, their sister took the initiative to find the relationship between relative atomic mass and the number of protons, which made Chen Zhao overjoyed, and at the same time gave Chen Zhao more thoughts. Chen Xuan obviously had a very strong subjective initiative. She was not only passively receiving knowledge, but also actively participating in thinking. In this way, Chen Zhao was determined to speed up the education of Chen Xuan's chemical knowledge.
Chen Zhao immediately began to assign Chen Xuan the next learning task: analyzing the composition of air.
If Chen Zhao directly explained that he asked Chen Xuan to analyze the composition of the air, Chen Xuan would definitely have a question mark on her face, because she does not have the basic concepts in the chemical system and her understanding of the world is also at the sensory level. Therefore, Chen Zhao must first educate her slowly in words she can understand.
Chen Zhao was very tempted and made her angry at the back of her hand. Chen Xuan was confused and did as he did. After several repetitions, Chen Zhao asked her sister what was on the back of her hand. Chen Xuan frowned, hid the back of her hand behind her, and whispered with a red face: Xuan'er's saliva is on the back of her hand, so she won't show her brother.
Chen Zhao laughed loudly. Chen Xuan thought Chen Zhao was making fun of her, and suddenly she blushed and almost cried with aggrievedly. Chen Zhao had to coax her for a long time and then explained that the water stains were not saliva, but water vapor. When boiling water, the white gas was water vapor. Since water vapor could be in the air, it means that the air everywhere around us was composed of multiple components.
Chen Xuan was a little confused when she heard this, so Chen Zhao continued to do a classic confined space combustion experiment for him to prove that combustible substances can only consume less than one-fifth of the components in the air in a fixed volume of air. While doing the experiment, Chen Zhao emphasized to Chen Xuan: Sister, the science you learned is the science of experiment. Everything must be based on experiments. You cannot take it for granted, and you cannot just talk about it on paper. You must do it, otherwise you will not be able to enter the door.
Chen Zhao used limestone reaction drainage method and other methods to prepare a glass cup of carbon dioxide, and then poured the carbon dioxide on the burning candle. The candle was extinguished out of thin air, and used the combustion inhalation method to verify that the air components involved in the combustion accounted for one-fifth of the total volume of the air. After doing various magical experiments, Chen Xuan looked at Chen Zhao as if she was looking at a god. There was nothing in the cup, but when she poured it on the burning candle, the candle was extinguished like it was poured water?
Chen Zhao did a lot of experiments, and then left the instrument to Chen Xuan, so that she would not have to do anything today, so she focused on following the steps he taught to do it by herself and complete these experiments. Regardless of whether the experiment was successful or not, Chen Zhao asked Chen Xuan to think about what these experiments proved and what the significance of the experiment was.
Chen Xuan was naturally very excited when she heard that she could perform these miracles. Chen Zhao was relieved to leave her sister in her yard for experiments, and let Liu Yue'er and Qianqian look at her. He was not worried about any chemical accidents. The most dangerous part of these chemical experiments was flame control, which was very suitable for beginners to come into contact with chemistry. Chen Zhao did not expect Chen Xuan to successfully complete several experiments in a day. After all, she could not understand the airtight steps and various experimental precautions. She could only copy them according to the gourd. The success rate of the experiment was naturally very low. After she fiddled with these experimental equipment for a day, he would teach in depth, which made Chen Xuan more impressed by the wrong places.
After dealing with Chen Xuan's side, Chen Zhao went out with the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra". At the same time, he did not forget to give Viagra and delayed water to Wang Shimao. He also brought another 500 taels of silver. Recently, the Chen family's financial power has been partially transferred to Chen Zhao's hands, and Chen Zhao no longer has to report to his father in advance for withdrawal of silver.
After arriving at the palace, Wang Shizhen and Wang Shimao ordered their servants to retreat to their family and received Chen Zhao seriously. The moment Chen Zhao took out the Heart Sutra, the eyes of the two brothers Wang Shizhen almost shone. Wang Shizhen stood up respectfully, sorted out his clothes, wiped his hands repeatedly with a scarf, and then held the book in both hands and took it. Seeing the modern books, Wang Shizhen was excited and trembled with his hands, and didn't know how to open the book. In his eyes, the pages were too thin, and the pages were too close to each other. How could he do this?
Chen Zhao signaled that he didn't have to be so careful. He helped him open the first page with his fingers. What reflected in Wang Shizhen and Wang Shimao were small characters written horizontally. Wang Shizhen shouted that it was amazing. Wang Shimao was also surprised. The words and sentences written horizontally, as well as traditional Song Dynasty characters, and punctuated sentences made Wang Shizhen very uncomfortable at first glance, but he was a person who read thousands of books, and his writing skills were quite profound, and he could read them smoothly. As he read, Wang Shizhen's face turned red. Obviously, he was a little excited.
********************
The main text of the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra" is very short. Most of the book is annotated and interpreted by the Heart Sutra, followed by the eight parts of the Prajna Sutra and related annotations. It still takes a long time to read. Chen Zhao was not in a hurry and just sat next to him and waited. Wang Shizhen stood and read for a while, while applauding the comments of the Heart Sutra. After all, it is annotation of the Buddhist scriptures by modern Buddhists. For the ancients, the vertical and horizontal historical view of modern people is quite novel. Whether it is the starting point or the end point of the conclusion, it has a great impact on people like Wang Shizhen.
After reading for a while, Wang Shizhen suddenly realized that Chen Zhao was still waiting by his side. He hurriedly put together the books and said: Brother, I am fascinated by such treasures and concentrate on the books of Bodhidharma. This must be the case in the hall. If you are negligent, brother will laugh at me!
Chen Zhao naturally said it was okay. After Wang Shizhen closed the book, he expressed his hope to go back to the study room and study it carefully. Chen Zhao thought that Wang Shizhen would copy it. He expressed his gratitude to Chen Zhao and mentioned the issue of thanking gifts. Chen Zhao was prepared and kept refusing, saying that there was no need for any reward, but he mentioned a little bit of a clever maid. How proficient Wang Shizhen is, he immediately understood. Then, Wang Shizhen's next operation was simply eye-opening.
Wang Shizhen first summoned Maid Qiao in, and then found a reason to scold Maid Qiao in front of the subordinates of the royal family. Maid Qiao hadn't understood what was going on, so she knelt on the ground and cried, feeling very aggrieved. Wang Shizhen said that she wanted to expel Maid Qiao out of the house, and then her brother Chen Zhao said good things in front of him, so she surrounded Maid Qiao once and asked Maid Qiao to follow Chen Zhao to serve with all her heart. This is called to Chen Zhao's love.
Chen Zhao didn't think so much at the beginning. Why did he have to go around such a big circle when he gave a servant? After careful consideration, he couldn't help but give Wang Shizhen a thumbs up for his skills in fiddling with people. The ancients were quite amazing in this regard. If Wang Shizhen gave the Qiao Maid to Chen Zhao straightforwardly, his relationship with Chen Zhao would be wrong, because the status of the maid in this era was too low, and it was rewarded for the servants. In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, Chen Zhao was inexplicably lowered several levels, and was at the same level as Wang Shizhen's servant. With such a hand, Qiao Maid was still from the royal palace and was actually a member of Chen Zhao's mansion. At the same time, she would not let the servants of the royal palace gossip.
Qiao Maid was also very delicate in her mind, so she naturally understood immediately and quickly expressed her obedience to the arrangement. In this way, Qiao Maid cooperated with Wang Shizhen and Chen Zhao to act in a play, and then successfully transitioned to Chen Zhao.
After Wang Shizhen finished the operation, everyone was very happy. Chen Zhao got the clever maid and Wang Shizhen got the Heart Sutra. Wang Shizhen must have read this book through. For a book lover like him, it is obviously impossible to present it to the empress dowager without reading it once or copying it once. As for when to present it to the empress dowager, Chen Zhao would not participate. Wang Shizhen would naturally play this card at the most appropriate time.
Chen Zhao did not disturb Wang Shizhen's study and research too much, so he led Qiao Maid out. Qiao Maid was crying before getting on the carriage. As soon as he got on the carriage, he immediately smiled and threw himself in Chen Zhao's arms and acted coquettishly. Chen Zhao liked this demonic and smart girl very much, and led her straight to Bailian territory.
Chen Zhao did not plan to arrange Maid Qiao at home for the time being, because Maid Qiao knew Chen Zhao’s deep relationship with the royal family, and Chen Zhao did not want the Chen family to know his lofty layout for the time being. Releasing certain information at this time is not conducive to his actions, so he planned to temporarily arrange Maid Qiao in Bailian area and take it home after the time is ripe.
However, just as Chen Zhao and Qiao Maid were in the carriage, when they were heading to the Bailian area, Jiang Jingyang, wearing a big hat, had already touched the sphere of influence in the Bailian area for a while.
Before entering the Bailian control area, Jiang Jingyang disguised herself and dressed herself up as a young male gangster. She grew up in Xiangyang since she was a child. She switched freely with local Xiangyang accents and local Hangzhou dialect. When she was chatting with people on the road, she could not see any flaws. In the eyes of locals near Hangzhou Prefecture, this is a handsome gangster who traveled from Xiangyang to Hangzhou Prefecture in the west, facing the beautiful gangster. She was the kind of outdated person.
Jiang Jingyang showed this kind of face, so she naturally had her considerations. Jiang Jingyang was confident that she could complete the task perfectly. What after completing the task?
When she tied Zhao Chanyu back, it would inevitably lead to a large-scale investigation by the Jinchantang and even the Hangzhou Prefecture. After all, this woman was the daughter of the Hangzhou Prefecture. The ancient search method was a primitive dragnet investigation. When people mobilized people to ask around, it was not difficult to determine her route, and then analyze the accent and portraits of the characters. It was naturally easy for people to come to the conclusion that this was a native of Xiangyang and came from the west. In this way, it would be difficult to get related to the Bailian General Assembly in the south.
After Jiang Jingyang arrived at the Bailian controlled area, he no longer hid his traces. He dressed up as a gangster from Xiangyang, and stayed in a newly renovated hotel in Shise County. He also asked the locals about the location of Hangzhou Prefecture in the hotel restaurant.
Today is the third day after Jiang Jingyang lived. After a wide range of night surveys, Jiang Jingyang basically determined the location of Zhao Chanyu, and she planned to act as soon as possible because the place was full of mysterious and fanatic atmosphere. This breath floated in the environmental atmosphere of this area all the time. People living here had an indescribable indifference, but when they asked for directions, the locals were much more enthusiastic, as if they were hoping that foreigners would leave this area early. This sense of rejection that could be felt at all times made Jiang Jingyang uncomfortable.
Yushan…
The Ishise area is now different from most Ming Dynasty villages. After Chen Zhao implemented various policies, the appearance of the entire village has been greatly improved. Due to the investment in infrastructure, the gravel roads near Ishise are easy to walk on. They ride horses around here for a day and travel very fast, and there is almost no loss of horseshoe. There are many public toilets nearby that are useless in Jiang Jingyang's eyes. The nearby farmers live in an orderly manner, and they are extremely strict. Once they ask about the local situation, the locals are good at pretending to be stupid.
What impressed Jiang Jingyang the most was the various so-called unwritten rules. As soon as she checked into Ishise's hotel, she felt it deeply. First of all, there is a rule called centralized heating and firewood supply here. Local farmers and villagers do not have to go up the mountain to chop firewood by themselves, but regularly go to a place in the central area of Ishise County to collect firewood. There is a group of people who call Chai Ke going up the mountain to chop firewood every day. Jiang Jingyang thought at first that all these firewood had to pay for it, but she didn't expect that these firewood would be collected for free. She couldn't help but wonder, these firewood went up the mountain to chop firewood every day, but did not charge the firewood money, so how could they eat?
For example, once you ask a question like this, you will get ambiguous answers, such as Ah since ancient times, and someone has raised these Chaikes and Ah.
In fact, these firewood tourists were also hired by Chen Zhao. At the beginning, the motivation for hiring professional wood choppers was to hoard more wood and prepare fuel for more steam engines in the future. Seeing that winter was approaching, every family could use firewood. Chen Zhao waved his hand and established a centralized firewood supply system to further liberate the productivity of farmers. This was of great help to the rural population, but the cost was very low. It was obviously a good policy after the trial operation.
There are also water resources closely related to agriculture. The number of wells here is beyond Jiang Jingyang's expectations. Moreover, there are novel water intake facilities erected by many rivers, as well as water conservancy mills. Farmers drive carriages to send grain to the hydraulic mills. The water mills in the hydraulic mills do not need to be pulled by animals, and they constantly grind grain crops day and night.
Jiang Jingyang naturally felt the benefits of these novel facilities and rules. The villagers of Ishise do not need to spend extra energy to chop wood, do not need to invest heavily in buying livestock and establishing stone mills, but focus on doing their professional things every day...
Farming, other related miscellaneous matters are managed by a group of people who never engage in agricultural production.
Of course, no matter how novelty is, Jiang Jingyang's main focus is on Zhao Chanyu. She has vaguely realized one thing. These visible changes are likely to be brought to local residents by Zhao Chanyu, so it can explain why it is difficult to find out about Zhao Chanyu from the mouths of local villagers.
Whoever can bring the benefits visible to the locals is naturally supported by the locals. When encountering outsiders to inquire about information, they will naturally have more scrupulousness.
As the leader of Jinchantang, Zhao Chanyu must have no lack of experience in the martial arts world. Jiang Jingyang is very clear that the actions of inquiring about Zhao Chanyu should not be too big. It is not a saying that it is not to be alerted. In such a place that is obviously different from the style of ordinary rural paintings, it is better to be careful.
Jiang Jingyang decided to take action after nightfall today, and wait for animals such as chickens and dogs to fall asleep in the early morning, and then visit the Jincic Hall at night.
At this moment, Zhao Chanyu had just received news that the Holy Son was coming, and was both worried and excited.
The excitement is naturally because the work has been carried out smoothly recently. The White Lotus under his command is very united and organized. The word "organization" was learned by Zhao Chanyu from the Holy Son. The Holy Son used this word to describe the overall morale of the White Lotus and the loyalty to the White Lotus Sect. Zhao Chanyu naturally also said that the Holy Son came to inspect all aspects of work this time, and Zhao Chanyu was confident of handing over the errands that satisfies the Holy Son.
The worry is that Zhao Chanyu is considering how to report the legacy of the former White Lotus Sect to the Holy Son Chen Zhao.
Recently, Zhao Chanyu's intelligence personnel have used various means to find out the identities of the people who came to Yushan area to inquire about intelligence some time ago. The spies have basically confirmed that these outsiders were sent from the pseudo-Bailian General Hall.
For Zhao Chanyu, the White Lotus Sect she believed in before had been classified as a pagan, and of course it is more suitable to call it the Pseudo-White Lotus Sect.
In fact, Zhao Chanyu could have collected all the intelligence of these spies earlier, but the intelligence personnel who once served Jinchantang lost a large part of the losses. The reason for the losses was not someone else, but Chen Zhao himself. When Chen Zhao came to the door, he used a submachine gun to sweep away many people, part of which was the anti-reconnaissance personnel used by Jinchantang to fight against the Ming Dynasty intelligence system. Therefore, Zhao Chanyu had to reorganize personnel and rebuild a new intelligence organization. Just in this gap, the spies from the Pseudo-White Lotus Sect General Hall accidentally took the opportunity to spy on a lot of key intelligence.
The saying of rebuilding an intelligence organization is simple, but the various things are really complicated. To verify the loyalty of spies is a huge project, which requires long-term observation and test. No wonder Zhao Chanyu is slower.
Zhao Chanyu knew that the matter of the Pseudo-White Lotus Sect would inevitably be hidden from the Holy Son. This question must be reflected in the Holy Son. She was worried about this matter. When the Holy Son asked her why the previous intelligence personnel did not fully utilize their efficiency, Zhao Chanyu did not want to refute the Holy Son's face, but also had to explain to him that most of the intelligence personnel were left in the hands of the Holy Son himself, which was really racking his brains.
In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Zhao arrived in Shise County. After meeting Luo Yu and Fu Jianghu, he went to the headquarters of Yushan Bailian Sect together, arranged the maids and met with Zhao Chanyu.
Chen Zhao came here this time and was mainly preparing to implement two things. The first is basic education that must not be delayed, and the second is the issue of standardizing the economic system of the superstructure of the White Lotus Sect.
Welcome to the Holy Son!Zhao Chanyu led the remaining three incense masters at the entrance of the Bailian headquarters and greeted Chen Zhao. Chen Zhao waved his hand to signal them to enter the room for details.
When Zhao Chanyu reported the existing problems of the intelligence system to Chen Zhao and the recent counter-espionage work, he revealed to Chen Zhao obscurely the problems of the intelligence organization. Chen Zhao generously asked Zhao Chanyu to make an open and honest explanation, and after understanding the reasons, what was unexpected was that Chen Zhao praised Zhao Chanyu and pointed out clearly that if some problems were caused by his own reasons, they needed to be explained clearly so that the problems could be corrected. If everyone was secretive about these problems and avoided talking about them, the problems would continue to accumulate into big problems and great harm, and in general, it was more unfavorable to the development of the White Lotus Sect.
Everyone's heartfelt admiration for Chen Zhao's enlightened righteousness also strengthened their confidence in implementing various affairs.
After the six ministries reported the progress of various matters one by one, Chen Zhao announced his new administrative instructions: Everyone, I am planning to open a new junior school to widely recruit children of the Bailian controlled area, and take the listening, speaking, reading and writing of words as the basic educational goal to improve the literacy level of our young believers in the Bailian Sect. The school system is a half-day system, school starts in the afternoon, school starts at sunset, take a supper, take one exam every month, and last for one year. The final exam is set, and students promise that they have priority to work under the Holy Son after graduation.
After Chen Zhao finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Chanyu and others.
Zhao Chanyu and several incense masters looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of the Holy Son. Zhao Chanyu asked tentatively: Lord Saint, should you be taught extensively and trained several Jinshi, and then... it was produced on the top of your finger.
Chen Zhao immediately understood what Zhao Chanyu meant. In her opinion, she thought she seemed to be trying to prepare for the future, cultivate several senior intellectuals loyal to the White Lotus Sect, and enter the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty to be an internal response.
No, the purpose of primary education is not to cultivate elites, but to popularize basic education so that this generation of children can listen, speak, read and write in the future, understand words, and read articles.Chen Zhao said.
Several subordinates were even more confused. Education of this level of literacy was not a high-end thing for the people of the Ming Dynasty. The literacy rate in this era was about 15%, which was not far from Britain in this era, and even had a slight advantage over France. However, this literacy rate level was far from matching the direction of industrialization. It was not because people in this era had poor learning ability or their IQ was not good. The key reason was still in the roots, that is, in production and lifestyle.
An ordinary Ming Dynasty family would only choose to send their children to school under special circumstances, and most of their goals were imperial examinations, so private school classics were the first choice.
In this era, schools can be divided into three categories in terms of school management, namely official, private, and specialized. This is the division of later generations. People in this era call private schools private schools, specialized schools temples, Taoist temples, martial arts clinics, and official schools are Imperial College, prefectures, county schools, and social schools.
The biggest advantage of official social studies is that they are free, but at least they are only set up in key county-level units. There are no ordinary villages or even poorer economic counties and towns, and the number of people recruited is limited, so it is not universal. Only the children of wealthy people living in relatively developed economic areas have the opportunity to go to social studies, and then go to county schools after passing the screening, and then go to imperial examinations. Those in Beijing can also choose to go to Imperial College for further studies.
For ordinary people, education is a very pure investment behavior. The only purpose of sending children to private schools is to take the imperial examination. In agricultural society, farming does not require literacy, and this is especially true for ordinary people around the Ishise area. Only when their families have a certain amount of savings and relatively abundant labor force, that is, there is a need to send children to school after they have reached the standard of middle-aged farmers.
Therefore, in the eyes of Zhao Chanyu and others, Chen Zhao's primary school has little significance. Families with educational needs are not pursuing literacy. They are more inclined to choose to send their children to private school classics to study the Four Books and Five Classics, and conduct further study of Confucianism. Families with no educational needs are better to stay at home as laborers than to send their children to school, and first plant the land and then talk about it.
Chen Zhao does not need to explain too much the importance of popularizing basic education to his subordinates. He can take the education of these managers slowly. Throughout the afternoon, Chen Zhao was discussing with these people how to mobilize the enthusiasm of Bailian believers. Zhao Chanyu and others' thinking still stays at using power and using forced admission to increase the enrollment rate. Chen Zhao disagrees with this.
Most White Lotus believers have extremely short-sighted vision. Under the current situation, they cannot see the benefits of allowing their children to receive popular education. Learning such things depends on self-consciousness and relies heavily on subjective initiative. Students and students' families are unwilling to participate. Our popular education will eventually become formalism. Children go to school every day to deal with things. Not only can they not achieve the purpose of education, but they also waste the resources of my White Lotus Sect in vain.
Chen Zhao pointed out the key issues of compulsory admission.
Hu Qing touched his beard and said: Lord Shengzi, if there are too many benefits, the students may be even more lazy. Farmers send their children to the school just to make a full meal, and raise lazy people and lazy children.
Chen Zhao nodded and said: Master Hu Xiang, what you said is not unreasonable, so I must introduce an assessment system to test students every month. Only when I pass each test can I graduate successfully and then get priority to work under my hands. I will also report to the Holy Father and ask the Holy Father to issue academic certificates to these children. What do you think?
When these intellectuals could not sit still after hearing the Holy Father's academic certificate, they could not sit still. This was a holy object that the Holy Father did. Hu Qing quickly asked: Holy Son, only children can enter school?
Chen Zhao smiled and said: Your cultural level is definitely sufficient. If you want the Holy Father’s academic proof, you can get the certificate if you pass it.
Hearing the promise from the Holy Son, Hu Qing and his group of people immediately smiled happily. They all wanted to take such an academic certificate from the Holy Father.
In this way, everyone discussed the policy of the Bailian area until late at night. Chen Zhao left Zhao Chanyu and continued to discuss matters related to the pseudo-White Lian Sect with her, and the others took their leave first.
At midnight, Jiang Jingyang put on his tights, masked his face, placed a bronze mirror on his chest, checked all the props, and prepared to start the action.
The bronze mirror on the chest is naturally used to save lives. If you encounter sudden danger, this bronze mirror can withstand a fatal attack directed to the heart.
Jiang Jingyang prepared a rope to tie Zhao Chanyu, two long and short weapons, as well as a mouth-tight cloth to prevent her tongue from biting her tongue. As for hidden weapons and sweating pills, Jiang Jingyang disdains to use such props. For experts like her, there are many ways to subdue a person. Whether it is instant suffocation or striking the spine, her approach is extremely accurate, and she can knock people out without death.
Kidnapping is more difficult than killing a person. I believe most people have met drunk people in reality. It is difficult to get him home alone when facing such a semi-unconscious and vomiting person. What's more, facing a completely unconscious person, it is actually quite difficult to get away such a heavy object of about a hundred pounds quietly.
On a dark and windy night, Jiang Jingyang confirmed the wind direction, turned over from the window of the hotel on the second floor, and landed lightly on the ground, making almost no sound.
At this time, the only light source in the countryside should be only a bright moon, but the Bailian headquarters was still lit with candles. Jiang Jingyang judged that Zhao Chanyu should not have fallen asleep yet, which was actually a good thing for her.
Why do you say so?
Logically speaking, Zhao Chanyu has not been asleep at this time, and ordinary kidnappers should have been a little anxious. However, Jiang Jingyang has a rich experience in the martial arts world. The later the target person sleeps, the more he will sleep at the third update. If the target task goes to bed early, he may be out of deep sleep and is easily awakened.
She took advantage of the night to go around the back of Bailian headquarters and chose a direction against the wind. A standard ladder rushed up the wall. Except for a gust of breeze, there was no sound. She lay on the wall and carefully observed the environment of Bailian headquarters. She saw Zhao Chanyu's house from afar, and Zhao Chanyu's shadow appeared on the window.
Jiang Jingyang silently calculated the route, then quietly got off the wall again and led the horse that had been prepared long ago to the base of the wall. She had already fed the horse and was very physically strong. Jiang Jingyang touched the horse's head and sootheed it.
********************
Jiang Jingyang climbed over the wall again and bent down and sneaked into Bailian headquarters.
At this moment, Zhao Chanyu was still discussing various policy-related matters with Chen Zhao, and the two of them were completely unaware of the danger that was slowly approaching.
Jiang Jingyang smoothly approached the house where Zhao Chanyu was. At this time, there was no room for a beam. Even agile person like Jiang Jingyang would make a subtle sound when stepping on the tiles. The most deadly dust fell. As long as Jiang Jingyang moved slightly on the roof, a large amount of dust would fall from the roof. As long as the people in the room were awake, it would be impossible to see the dust falling from the sky. Therefore, in the TV series, the assassin came and went quietly on the roof of the tiled house without any notice. This situation was basically impossible.
Jiang Jingyang patiently lurked behind a redwood tree behind the yard, listening quietly to the sound in the room.
At this time, Zhao Chanyu happened to be reporting to Chen Zhao about the investigation activities of the pseudo-White Lotus Sect Headquarters.
In other words, whether from the perspective of speculation or evidence, the visitor is highly likely to be a spy from the Pseudo-White Lotus Sect General Assembly.
Yes, Lord Sheng Son, who is the former leader of the Golden Cicada Hall, has been missing from the Pseudo-White Lotus Sect for a long time, and the General Assembly is completely suspicious.
Chen Zhao sighed, gently touched Zhao Chanyu's face and said: I know you are loyal to the Holy Father, and your loyalty is meticulous. However, some things need to be adapted. You only want to cut the mat with the Pseudo-White Lotus Sect, but it arouses more and more suspicion. The correct way is to continue to keep in touch with the Pseudo-White Lotus Sect General Assembly and not let these heresy notice it. The next step is to persuade or kill, and the initiative is always in our hands.
When Zhao Chanyu heard this, he quickly knelt down and lowered his head and said: Lord Holy Son!I am confused about this matter. Please give the Holy Son and the Holy Father to the Holy Father to surrender to me!
Chen Zhao reached out to help Zhao Chanyu up, looked into her eyes and said: Who can do nothing without mistakes?Moreover, your starting point is always good. You are eager to separate from those heresy. The Holy Father and I always see it. It is just a good intention to do bad things. This is called a technical mistake, not a principled mistake. How can such a thing be punished?Be sure to remember this experience. When encountering similar situations next time, you must start from the overall situation and consider it. You are the backbone of my White Lotus Sect and you must have a global awareness.
yes!Follow the teachings of the Holy Son!
Chen Zhao was about to continue speaking when suddenly the voice of Mr. Shanshui sounded in his ears: Master, there was someone outside who was sneaking out, wearing a masked black clothes, and carrying a sword!
Chen Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then used his consciousness to communicate with Mr. Shanshui: Specific location?How far is the distance?
Mr. Shanshui clearly described the other party's position for Chen Zhao, so Chen Zhao reached out and pressed Zhao Chanyu's lips. Zhao Chanyu's face turned red and thought he would have to do some intimate behavior next, but he didn't expect that Chen Zhao leaned into her ear and whispered: A spy is coming outside, stay in the house and don't move, I'll catch him.
Zhao Chanyu widened his eyes, shocked, but suddenly found that he didn't even have a handy weapon. When she came to see the Holy Son, she naturally did not bring any weapons.
Chen Zhao casually exchanged for a Glock equipped with a muffler. The black iron gun of a black gun appeared in the hands of the Holy Son in an instant. This was the first time Zhao Chanyu could see the Holy Son's divine power so clearly at such a close distance.
After checking the ammunition and insurance, Chen Zhao put his hand holding the pistol behind him, swaggered open the door, and walked into the yard. In the dark night, Chen Zhao looked at the tree five meters away opposite him and asked jokingly: Who is the sacred visiting my White Lotus Sect?I am the saint son of the White Lotus Sect, so I will kowtow to see you soon.
There was no movement, only the rustling sound of the cold wind in early winter blowing through the dead leaves of the fence outside the courtyard. Chen Zhao seemed to be facing a dead redwood trunk.
Chen Zhao frowned. He wanted to walk over directly, but somehow, he suddenly recalled a sentence in "Zhuangzi: Saying Sword" in his mind: The sword of the minister takes ten steps and one person, and he will not stay for a thousand miles.
It was such a strange idea that Chen Zhao was suddenly very alert. Instead of taking a step forward, he took a half step back and slowly raised his hand behind him.
I don’t know how long it will take, Chen Zhao is still grateful for today’s decision. If it weren’t for this sudden vigilance, there might be no story for him in the future.
Originally, Chen Zhao thought that Chen Xuan would probably not be able to memorize the huge data of the entire periodic table of elements during the day. For modern students, the periodic table of elements actually only needs to memorize the dozens of commonly used types. Chen Xuan's homework is obviously much more complicated, but facts have proved that Chen Zhao still underestimated Chen Xuan's learning ability.
Chen Xuan was waiting at the door of Chen Zhao's yard early in the morning and found that his brother had actually come out of the main room. He looked back at the gate of the courtyard with a strange look, wondering why his brother had not returned to his yard all night. Chen Zhao did not explain to Chen Xuan, and directly asked Chen Xuan about his progress. However, he did not expect that Chen Xuan had memorized all the data. Not only did he memorize it, she also excitedly announced her major discovery.
Brother, Xuan'er discovered the pattern. The relative atomic mass of each element is equal to the number of protons and neutrons of this element!
Chen Zhao was naturally quite surprised. In his impression, the ancients were relatively dogmatism and not very understanding than modern people. When they thought about the scenes of the ancients' learning, they were children shaking their heads and reciting the Four Books and Five Classics. Unexpectedly, their sister took the initiative to find the relationship between relative atomic mass and the number of protons, which made Chen Zhao overjoyed, and at the same time gave Chen Zhao more thoughts. Chen Xuan obviously had a very strong subjective initiative. She was not only passively receiving knowledge, but also actively participating in thinking. In this way, Chen Zhao was determined to speed up the education of Chen Xuan's chemical knowledge.
Chen Zhao immediately began to assign Chen Xuan the next learning task: analyzing the composition of air.
If Chen Zhao directly explained that he asked Chen Xuan to analyze the composition of the air, Chen Xuan would definitely have a question mark on her face, because she does not have the basic concepts in the chemical system and her understanding of the world is also at the sensory level. Therefore, Chen Zhao must first educate her slowly in words she can understand.
Chen Zhao was very tempted and made her angry at the back of her hand. Chen Xuan was confused and did as he did. After several repetitions, Chen Zhao asked her sister what was on the back of her hand. Chen Xuan frowned, hid the back of her hand behind her, and whispered with a red face: Xuan'er's saliva is on the back of her hand, so she won't show her brother.
Chen Zhao laughed loudly. Chen Xuan thought Chen Zhao was making fun of her, and suddenly she blushed and almost cried with aggrievedly. Chen Zhao had to coax her for a long time and then explained that the water stains were not saliva, but water vapor. When boiling water, the white gas was water vapor. Since water vapor could be in the air, it means that the air everywhere around us was composed of multiple components.
Chen Xuan was a little confused when she heard this, so Chen Zhao continued to do a classic confined space combustion experiment for him to prove that combustible substances can only consume less than one-fifth of the components in the air in a fixed volume of air. While doing the experiment, Chen Zhao emphasized to Chen Xuan: Sister, the science you learned is the science of experiment. Everything must be based on experiments. You cannot take it for granted, and you cannot just talk about it on paper. You must do it, otherwise you will not be able to enter the door.
Chen Zhao used limestone reaction drainage method and other methods to prepare a glass cup of carbon dioxide, and then poured the carbon dioxide on the burning candle. The candle was extinguished out of thin air, and used the combustion inhalation method to verify that the air components involved in the combustion accounted for one-fifth of the total volume of the air. After doing various magical experiments, Chen Xuan looked at Chen Zhao as if she was looking at a god. There was nothing in the cup, but when she poured it on the burning candle, the candle was extinguished like it was poured water?
Chen Zhao did a lot of experiments, and then left the instrument to Chen Xuan, so that she would not have to do anything today, so she focused on following the steps he taught to do it by herself and complete these experiments. Regardless of whether the experiment was successful or not, Chen Zhao asked Chen Xuan to think about what these experiments proved and what the significance of the experiment was.
Chen Xuan was naturally very excited when she heard that she could perform these miracles. Chen Zhao was relieved to leave her sister in her yard for experiments, and let Liu Yue'er and Qianqian look at her. He was not worried about any chemical accidents. The most dangerous part of these chemical experiments was flame control, which was very suitable for beginners to come into contact with chemistry. Chen Zhao did not expect Chen Xuan to successfully complete several experiments in a day. After all, she could not understand the airtight steps and various experimental precautions. She could only copy them according to the gourd. The success rate of the experiment was naturally very low. After she fiddled with these experimental equipment for a day, he would teach in depth, which made Chen Xuan more impressed by the wrong places.
After dealing with Chen Xuan's side, Chen Zhao went out with the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra". At the same time, he did not forget to give Viagra and delayed water to Wang Shimao. He also brought another 500 taels of silver. Recently, the Chen family's financial power has been partially transferred to Chen Zhao's hands, and Chen Zhao no longer has to report to his father in advance for withdrawal of silver.
After arriving at the palace, Wang Shizhen and Wang Shimao ordered their servants to retreat to their family and received Chen Zhao seriously. The moment Chen Zhao took out the Heart Sutra, the eyes of the two brothers Wang Shizhen almost shone. Wang Shizhen stood up respectfully, sorted out his clothes, wiped his hands repeatedly with a scarf, and then held the book in both hands and took it. Seeing the modern books, Wang Shizhen was excited and trembled with his hands, and didn't know how to open the book. In his eyes, the pages were too thin, and the pages were too close to each other. How could he do this?
Chen Zhao signaled that he didn't have to be so careful. He helped him open the first page with his fingers. What reflected in Wang Shizhen and Wang Shimao were small characters written horizontally. Wang Shizhen shouted that it was amazing. Wang Shimao was also surprised. The words and sentences written horizontally, as well as traditional Song Dynasty characters, and punctuated sentences made Wang Shizhen very uncomfortable at first glance, but he was a person who read thousands of books, and his writing skills were quite profound, and he could read them smoothly. As he read, Wang Shizhen's face turned red. Obviously, he was a little excited.
********************
The main text of the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra" is very short. Most of the book is annotated and interpreted by the Heart Sutra, followed by the eight parts of the Prajna Sutra and related annotations. It still takes a long time to read. Chen Zhao was not in a hurry and just sat next to him and waited. Wang Shizhen stood and read for a while, while applauding the comments of the Heart Sutra. After all, it is annotation of the Buddhist scriptures by modern Buddhists. For the ancients, the vertical and horizontal historical view of modern people is quite novel. Whether it is the starting point or the end point of the conclusion, it has a great impact on people like Wang Shizhen.
After reading for a while, Wang Shizhen suddenly realized that Chen Zhao was still waiting by his side. He hurriedly put together the books and said: Brother, I am fascinated by such treasures and concentrate on the books of Bodhidharma. This must be the case in the hall. If you are negligent, brother will laugh at me!
Chen Zhao naturally said it was okay. After Wang Shizhen closed the book, he expressed his hope to go back to the study room and study it carefully. Chen Zhao thought that Wang Shizhen would copy it. He expressed his gratitude to Chen Zhao and mentioned the issue of thanking gifts. Chen Zhao was prepared and kept refusing, saying that there was no need for any reward, but he mentioned a little bit of a clever maid. How proficient Wang Shizhen is, he immediately understood. Then, Wang Shizhen's next operation was simply eye-opening.
Wang Shizhen first summoned Maid Qiao in, and then found a reason to scold Maid Qiao in front of the subordinates of the royal family. Maid Qiao hadn't understood what was going on, so she knelt on the ground and cried, feeling very aggrieved. Wang Shizhen said that she wanted to expel Maid Qiao out of the house, and then her brother Chen Zhao said good things in front of him, so she surrounded Maid Qiao once and asked Maid Qiao to follow Chen Zhao to serve with all her heart. This is called to Chen Zhao's love.
Chen Zhao didn't think so much at the beginning. Why did he have to go around such a big circle when he gave a servant? After careful consideration, he couldn't help but give Wang Shizhen a thumbs up for his skills in fiddling with people. The ancients were quite amazing in this regard. If Wang Shizhen gave the Qiao Maid to Chen Zhao straightforwardly, his relationship with Chen Zhao would be wrong, because the status of the maid in this era was too low, and it was rewarded for the servants. In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, Chen Zhao was inexplicably lowered several levels, and was at the same level as Wang Shizhen's servant. With such a hand, Qiao Maid was still from the royal palace and was actually a member of Chen Zhao's mansion. At the same time, she would not let the servants of the royal palace gossip.
Qiao Maid was also very delicate in her mind, so she naturally understood immediately and quickly expressed her obedience to the arrangement. In this way, Qiao Maid cooperated with Wang Shizhen and Chen Zhao to act in a play, and then successfully transitioned to Chen Zhao.
After Wang Shizhen finished the operation, everyone was very happy. Chen Zhao got the clever maid and Wang Shizhen got the Heart Sutra. Wang Shizhen must have read this book through. For a book lover like him, it is obviously impossible to present it to the empress dowager without reading it once or copying it once. As for when to present it to the empress dowager, Chen Zhao would not participate. Wang Shizhen would naturally play this card at the most appropriate time.
Chen Zhao did not disturb Wang Shizhen's study and research too much, so he led Qiao Maid out. Qiao Maid was crying before getting on the carriage. As soon as he got on the carriage, he immediately smiled and threw himself in Chen Zhao's arms and acted coquettishly. Chen Zhao liked this demonic and smart girl very much, and led her straight to Bailian territory.
Chen Zhao did not plan to arrange Maid Qiao at home for the time being, because Maid Qiao knew Chen Zhao’s deep relationship with the royal family, and Chen Zhao did not want the Chen family to know his lofty layout for the time being. Releasing certain information at this time is not conducive to his actions, so he planned to temporarily arrange Maid Qiao in Bailian area and take it home after the time is ripe.
However, just as Chen Zhao and Qiao Maid were in the carriage, when they were heading to the Bailian area, Jiang Jingyang, wearing a big hat, had already touched the sphere of influence in the Bailian area for a while.
Before entering the Bailian control area, Jiang Jingyang disguised herself and dressed herself up as a young male gangster. She grew up in Xiangyang since she was a child. She switched freely with local Xiangyang accents and local Hangzhou dialect. When she was chatting with people on the road, she could not see any flaws. In the eyes of locals near Hangzhou Prefecture, this is a handsome gangster who traveled from Xiangyang to Hangzhou Prefecture in the west, facing the beautiful gangster. She was the kind of outdated person.
Jiang Jingyang showed this kind of face, so she naturally had her considerations. Jiang Jingyang was confident that she could complete the task perfectly. What after completing the task?
When she tied Zhao Chanyu back, it would inevitably lead to a large-scale investigation by the Jinchantang and even the Hangzhou Prefecture. After all, this woman was the daughter of the Hangzhou Prefecture. The ancient search method was a primitive dragnet investigation. When people mobilized people to ask around, it was not difficult to determine her route, and then analyze the accent and portraits of the characters. It was naturally easy for people to come to the conclusion that this was a native of Xiangyang and came from the west. In this way, it would be difficult to get related to the Bailian General Assembly in the south.
After Jiang Jingyang arrived at the Bailian controlled area, he no longer hid his traces. He dressed up as a gangster from Xiangyang, and stayed in a newly renovated hotel in Shise County. He also asked the locals about the location of Hangzhou Prefecture in the hotel restaurant.
Today is the third day after Jiang Jingyang lived. After a wide range of night surveys, Jiang Jingyang basically determined the location of Zhao Chanyu, and she planned to act as soon as possible because the place was full of mysterious and fanatic atmosphere. This breath floated in the environmental atmosphere of this area all the time. People living here had an indescribable indifference, but when they asked for directions, the locals were much more enthusiastic, as if they were hoping that foreigners would leave this area early. This sense of rejection that could be felt at all times made Jiang Jingyang uncomfortable.
Yushan…
The Ishise area is now different from most Ming Dynasty villages. After Chen Zhao implemented various policies, the appearance of the entire village has been greatly improved. Due to the investment in infrastructure, the gravel roads near Ishise are easy to walk on. They ride horses around here for a day and travel very fast, and there is almost no loss of horseshoe. There are many public toilets nearby that are useless in Jiang Jingyang's eyes. The nearby farmers live in an orderly manner, and they are extremely strict. Once they ask about the local situation, the locals are good at pretending to be stupid.
What impressed Jiang Jingyang the most was the various so-called unwritten rules. As soon as she checked into Ishise's hotel, she felt it deeply. First of all, there is a rule called centralized heating and firewood supply here. Local farmers and villagers do not have to go up the mountain to chop firewood by themselves, but regularly go to a place in the central area of Ishise County to collect firewood. There is a group of people who call Chai Ke going up the mountain to chop firewood every day. Jiang Jingyang thought at first that all these firewood had to pay for it, but she didn't expect that these firewood would be collected for free. She couldn't help but wonder, these firewood went up the mountain to chop firewood every day, but did not charge the firewood money, so how could they eat?
For example, once you ask a question like this, you will get ambiguous answers, such as Ah since ancient times, and someone has raised these Chaikes and Ah.
In fact, these firewood tourists were also hired by Chen Zhao. At the beginning, the motivation for hiring professional wood choppers was to hoard more wood and prepare fuel for more steam engines in the future. Seeing that winter was approaching, every family could use firewood. Chen Zhao waved his hand and established a centralized firewood supply system to further liberate the productivity of farmers. This was of great help to the rural population, but the cost was very low. It was obviously a good policy after the trial operation.
There are also water resources closely related to agriculture. The number of wells here is beyond Jiang Jingyang's expectations. Moreover, there are novel water intake facilities erected by many rivers, as well as water conservancy mills. Farmers drive carriages to send grain to the hydraulic mills. The water mills in the hydraulic mills do not need to be pulled by animals, and they constantly grind grain crops day and night.
Jiang Jingyang naturally felt the benefits of these novel facilities and rules. The villagers of Ishise do not need to spend extra energy to chop wood, do not need to invest heavily in buying livestock and establishing stone mills, but focus on doing their professional things every day...
Farming, other related miscellaneous matters are managed by a group of people who never engage in agricultural production.
Of course, no matter how novelty is, Jiang Jingyang's main focus is on Zhao Chanyu. She has vaguely realized one thing. These visible changes are likely to be brought to local residents by Zhao Chanyu, so it can explain why it is difficult to find out about Zhao Chanyu from the mouths of local villagers.
Whoever can bring the benefits visible to the locals is naturally supported by the locals. When encountering outsiders to inquire about information, they will naturally have more scrupulousness.
As the leader of Jinchantang, Zhao Chanyu must have no lack of experience in the martial arts world. Jiang Jingyang is very clear that the actions of inquiring about Zhao Chanyu should not be too big. It is not a saying that it is not to be alerted. In such a place that is obviously different from the style of ordinary rural paintings, it is better to be careful.
Jiang Jingyang decided to take action after nightfall today, and wait for animals such as chickens and dogs to fall asleep in the early morning, and then visit the Jincic Hall at night.
At this moment, Zhao Chanyu had just received news that the Holy Son was coming, and was both worried and excited.
The excitement is naturally because the work has been carried out smoothly recently. The White Lotus under his command is very united and organized. The word "organization" was learned by Zhao Chanyu from the Holy Son. The Holy Son used this word to describe the overall morale of the White Lotus and the loyalty to the White Lotus Sect. Zhao Chanyu naturally also said that the Holy Son came to inspect all aspects of work this time, and Zhao Chanyu was confident of handing over the errands that satisfies the Holy Son.
The worry is that Zhao Chanyu is considering how to report the legacy of the former White Lotus Sect to the Holy Son Chen Zhao.
Recently, Zhao Chanyu's intelligence personnel have used various means to find out the identities of the people who came to Yushan area to inquire about intelligence some time ago. The spies have basically confirmed that these outsiders were sent from the pseudo-Bailian General Hall.
For Zhao Chanyu, the White Lotus Sect she believed in before had been classified as a pagan, and of course it is more suitable to call it the Pseudo-White Lotus Sect.
In fact, Zhao Chanyu could have collected all the intelligence of these spies earlier, but the intelligence personnel who once served Jinchantang lost a large part of the losses. The reason for the losses was not someone else, but Chen Zhao himself. When Chen Zhao came to the door, he used a submachine gun to sweep away many people, part of which was the anti-reconnaissance personnel used by Jinchantang to fight against the Ming Dynasty intelligence system. Therefore, Zhao Chanyu had to reorganize personnel and rebuild a new intelligence organization. Just in this gap, the spies from the Pseudo-White Lotus Sect General Hall accidentally took the opportunity to spy on a lot of key intelligence.
The saying of rebuilding an intelligence organization is simple, but the various things are really complicated. To verify the loyalty of spies is a huge project, which requires long-term observation and test. No wonder Zhao Chanyu is slower.
Zhao Chanyu knew that the matter of the Pseudo-White Lotus Sect would inevitably be hidden from the Holy Son. This question must be reflected in the Holy Son. She was worried about this matter. When the Holy Son asked her why the previous intelligence personnel did not fully utilize their efficiency, Zhao Chanyu did not want to refute the Holy Son's face, but also had to explain to him that most of the intelligence personnel were left in the hands of the Holy Son himself, which was really racking his brains.
In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Zhao arrived in Shise County. After meeting Luo Yu and Fu Jianghu, he went to the headquarters of Yushan Bailian Sect together, arranged the maids and met with Zhao Chanyu.
Chen Zhao came here this time and was mainly preparing to implement two things. The first is basic education that must not be delayed, and the second is the issue of standardizing the economic system of the superstructure of the White Lotus Sect.
Welcome to the Holy Son!Zhao Chanyu led the remaining three incense masters at the entrance of the Bailian headquarters and greeted Chen Zhao. Chen Zhao waved his hand to signal them to enter the room for details.
When Zhao Chanyu reported the existing problems of the intelligence system to Chen Zhao and the recent counter-espionage work, he revealed to Chen Zhao obscurely the problems of the intelligence organization. Chen Zhao generously asked Zhao Chanyu to make an open and honest explanation, and after understanding the reasons, what was unexpected was that Chen Zhao praised Zhao Chanyu and pointed out clearly that if some problems were caused by his own reasons, they needed to be explained clearly so that the problems could be corrected. If everyone was secretive about these problems and avoided talking about them, the problems would continue to accumulate into big problems and great harm, and in general, it was more unfavorable to the development of the White Lotus Sect.
Everyone's heartfelt admiration for Chen Zhao's enlightened righteousness also strengthened their confidence in implementing various affairs.
After the six ministries reported the progress of various matters one by one, Chen Zhao announced his new administrative instructions: Everyone, I am planning to open a new junior school to widely recruit children of the Bailian controlled area, and take the listening, speaking, reading and writing of words as the basic educational goal to improve the literacy level of our young believers in the Bailian Sect. The school system is a half-day system, school starts in the afternoon, school starts at sunset, take a supper, take one exam every month, and last for one year. The final exam is set, and students promise that they have priority to work under the Holy Son after graduation.
After Chen Zhao finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Chanyu and others.
Zhao Chanyu and several incense masters looked at each other, not understanding the meaning of the Holy Son. Zhao Chanyu asked tentatively: Lord Saint, should you be taught extensively and trained several Jinshi, and then... it was produced on the top of your finger.
Chen Zhao immediately understood what Zhao Chanyu meant. In her opinion, she thought she seemed to be trying to prepare for the future, cultivate several senior intellectuals loyal to the White Lotus Sect, and enter the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty to be an internal response.
No, the purpose of primary education is not to cultivate elites, but to popularize basic education so that this generation of children can listen, speak, read and write in the future, understand words, and read articles.Chen Zhao said.
Several subordinates were even more confused. Education of this level of literacy was not a high-end thing for the people of the Ming Dynasty. The literacy rate in this era was about 15%, which was not far from Britain in this era, and even had a slight advantage over France. However, this literacy rate level was far from matching the direction of industrialization. It was not because people in this era had poor learning ability or their IQ was not good. The key reason was still in the roots, that is, in production and lifestyle.
An ordinary Ming Dynasty family would only choose to send their children to school under special circumstances, and most of their goals were imperial examinations, so private school classics were the first choice.
In this era, schools can be divided into three categories in terms of school management, namely official, private, and specialized. This is the division of later generations. People in this era call private schools private schools, specialized schools temples, Taoist temples, martial arts clinics, and official schools are Imperial College, prefectures, county schools, and social schools.
The biggest advantage of official social studies is that they are free, but at least they are only set up in key county-level units. There are no ordinary villages or even poorer economic counties and towns, and the number of people recruited is limited, so it is not universal. Only the children of wealthy people living in relatively developed economic areas have the opportunity to go to social studies, and then go to county schools after passing the screening, and then go to imperial examinations. Those in Beijing can also choose to go to Imperial College for further studies.
For ordinary people, education is a very pure investment behavior. The only purpose of sending children to private schools is to take the imperial examination. In agricultural society, farming does not require literacy, and this is especially true for ordinary people around the Ishise area. Only when their families have a certain amount of savings and relatively abundant labor force, that is, there is a need to send children to school after they have reached the standard of middle-aged farmers.
Therefore, in the eyes of Zhao Chanyu and others, Chen Zhao's primary school has little significance. Families with educational needs are not pursuing literacy. They are more inclined to choose to send their children to private school classics to study the Four Books and Five Classics, and conduct further study of Confucianism. Families with no educational needs are better to stay at home as laborers than to send their children to school, and first plant the land and then talk about it.
Chen Zhao does not need to explain too much the importance of popularizing basic education to his subordinates. He can take the education of these managers slowly. Throughout the afternoon, Chen Zhao was discussing with these people how to mobilize the enthusiasm of Bailian believers. Zhao Chanyu and others' thinking still stays at using power and using forced admission to increase the enrollment rate. Chen Zhao disagrees with this.
Most White Lotus believers have extremely short-sighted vision. Under the current situation, they cannot see the benefits of allowing their children to receive popular education. Learning such things depends on self-consciousness and relies heavily on subjective initiative. Students and students' families are unwilling to participate. Our popular education will eventually become formalism. Children go to school every day to deal with things. Not only can they not achieve the purpose of education, but they also waste the resources of my White Lotus Sect in vain.
Chen Zhao pointed out the key issues of compulsory admission.
Hu Qing touched his beard and said: Lord Shengzi, if there are too many benefits, the students may be even more lazy. Farmers send their children to the school just to make a full meal, and raise lazy people and lazy children.
Chen Zhao nodded and said: Master Hu Xiang, what you said is not unreasonable, so I must introduce an assessment system to test students every month. Only when I pass each test can I graduate successfully and then get priority to work under my hands. I will also report to the Holy Father and ask the Holy Father to issue academic certificates to these children. What do you think?
When these intellectuals could not sit still after hearing the Holy Father's academic certificate, they could not sit still. This was a holy object that the Holy Father did. Hu Qing quickly asked: Holy Son, only children can enter school?
Chen Zhao smiled and said: Your cultural level is definitely sufficient. If you want the Holy Father’s academic proof, you can get the certificate if you pass it.
Hearing the promise from the Holy Son, Hu Qing and his group of people immediately smiled happily. They all wanted to take such an academic certificate from the Holy Father.
In this way, everyone discussed the policy of the Bailian area until late at night. Chen Zhao left Zhao Chanyu and continued to discuss matters related to the pseudo-White Lian Sect with her, and the others took their leave first.
At midnight, Jiang Jingyang put on his tights, masked his face, placed a bronze mirror on his chest, checked all the props, and prepared to start the action.
The bronze mirror on the chest is naturally used to save lives. If you encounter sudden danger, this bronze mirror can withstand a fatal attack directed to the heart.
Jiang Jingyang prepared a rope to tie Zhao Chanyu, two long and short weapons, as well as a mouth-tight cloth to prevent her tongue from biting her tongue. As for hidden weapons and sweating pills, Jiang Jingyang disdains to use such props. For experts like her, there are many ways to subdue a person. Whether it is instant suffocation or striking the spine, her approach is extremely accurate, and she can knock people out without death.
Kidnapping is more difficult than killing a person. I believe most people have met drunk people in reality. It is difficult to get him home alone when facing such a semi-unconscious and vomiting person. What's more, facing a completely unconscious person, it is actually quite difficult to get away such a heavy object of about a hundred pounds quietly.
On a dark and windy night, Jiang Jingyang confirmed the wind direction, turned over from the window of the hotel on the second floor, and landed lightly on the ground, making almost no sound.
At this time, the only light source in the countryside should be only a bright moon, but the Bailian headquarters was still lit with candles. Jiang Jingyang judged that Zhao Chanyu should not have fallen asleep yet, which was actually a good thing for her.
Why do you say so?
Logically speaking, Zhao Chanyu has not been asleep at this time, and ordinary kidnappers should have been a little anxious. However, Jiang Jingyang has a rich experience in the martial arts world. The later the target person sleeps, the more he will sleep at the third update. If the target task goes to bed early, he may be out of deep sleep and is easily awakened.
She took advantage of the night to go around the back of Bailian headquarters and chose a direction against the wind. A standard ladder rushed up the wall. Except for a gust of breeze, there was no sound. She lay on the wall and carefully observed the environment of Bailian headquarters. She saw Zhao Chanyu's house from afar, and Zhao Chanyu's shadow appeared on the window.
Jiang Jingyang silently calculated the route, then quietly got off the wall again and led the horse that had been prepared long ago to the base of the wall. She had already fed the horse and was very physically strong. Jiang Jingyang touched the horse's head and sootheed it.
********************
Jiang Jingyang climbed over the wall again and bent down and sneaked into Bailian headquarters.
At this moment, Zhao Chanyu was still discussing various policy-related matters with Chen Zhao, and the two of them were completely unaware of the danger that was slowly approaching.
Jiang Jingyang smoothly approached the house where Zhao Chanyu was. At this time, there was no room for a beam. Even agile person like Jiang Jingyang would make a subtle sound when stepping on the tiles. The most deadly dust fell. As long as Jiang Jingyang moved slightly on the roof, a large amount of dust would fall from the roof. As long as the people in the room were awake, it would be impossible to see the dust falling from the sky. Therefore, in the TV series, the assassin came and went quietly on the roof of the tiled house without any notice. This situation was basically impossible.
Jiang Jingyang patiently lurked behind a redwood tree behind the yard, listening quietly to the sound in the room.
At this time, Zhao Chanyu happened to be reporting to Chen Zhao about the investigation activities of the pseudo-White Lotus Sect Headquarters.
In other words, whether from the perspective of speculation or evidence, the visitor is highly likely to be a spy from the Pseudo-White Lotus Sect General Assembly.
Yes, Lord Sheng Son, who is the former leader of the Golden Cicada Hall, has been missing from the Pseudo-White Lotus Sect for a long time, and the General Assembly is completely suspicious.
Chen Zhao sighed, gently touched Zhao Chanyu's face and said: I know you are loyal to the Holy Father, and your loyalty is meticulous. However, some things need to be adapted. You only want to cut the mat with the Pseudo-White Lotus Sect, but it arouses more and more suspicion. The correct way is to continue to keep in touch with the Pseudo-White Lotus Sect General Assembly and not let these heresy notice it. The next step is to persuade or kill, and the initiative is always in our hands.
When Zhao Chanyu heard this, he quickly knelt down and lowered his head and said: Lord Holy Son!I am confused about this matter. Please give the Holy Son and the Holy Father to the Holy Father to surrender to me!
Chen Zhao reached out to help Zhao Chanyu up, looked into her eyes and said: Who can do nothing without mistakes?Moreover, your starting point is always good. You are eager to separate from those heresy. The Holy Father and I always see it. It is just a good intention to do bad things. This is called a technical mistake, not a principled mistake. How can such a thing be punished?Be sure to remember this experience. When encountering similar situations next time, you must start from the overall situation and consider it. You are the backbone of my White Lotus Sect and you must have a global awareness.
yes!Follow the teachings of the Holy Son!
Chen Zhao was about to continue speaking when suddenly the voice of Mr. Shanshui sounded in his ears: Master, there was someone outside who was sneaking out, wearing a masked black clothes, and carrying a sword!
Chen Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then used his consciousness to communicate with Mr. Shanshui: Specific location?How far is the distance?
Mr. Shanshui clearly described the other party's position for Chen Zhao, so Chen Zhao reached out and pressed Zhao Chanyu's lips. Zhao Chanyu's face turned red and thought he would have to do some intimate behavior next, but he didn't expect that Chen Zhao leaned into her ear and whispered: A spy is coming outside, stay in the house and don't move, I'll catch him.
Zhao Chanyu widened his eyes, shocked, but suddenly found that he didn't even have a handy weapon. When she came to see the Holy Son, she naturally did not bring any weapons.
Chen Zhao casually exchanged for a Glock equipped with a muffler. The black iron gun of a black gun appeared in the hands of the Holy Son in an instant. This was the first time Zhao Chanyu could see the Holy Son's divine power so clearly at such a close distance.
After checking the ammunition and insurance, Chen Zhao put his hand holding the pistol behind him, swaggered open the door, and walked into the yard. In the dark night, Chen Zhao looked at the tree five meters away opposite him and asked jokingly: Who is the sacred visiting my White Lotus Sect?I am the saint son of the White Lotus Sect, so I will kowtow to see you soon.
There was no movement, only the rustling sound of the cold wind in early winter blowing through the dead leaves of the fence outside the courtyard. Chen Zhao seemed to be facing a dead redwood trunk.
Chen Zhao frowned. He wanted to walk over directly, but somehow, he suddenly recalled a sentence in "Zhuangzi: Saying Sword" in his mind: The sword of the minister takes ten steps and one person, and he will not stay for a thousand miles.
It was such a strange idea that Chen Zhao was suddenly very alert. Instead of taking a step forward, he took a half step back and slowly raised his hand behind him.
I don’t know how long it will take, Chen Zhao is still grateful for today’s decision. If it weren’t for this sudden vigilance, there might be no story for him in the future.
