Chapter 110 The importance of knowledge
"Everyone has that kind of treacherous expression. The child has been waiting to work in the factory since he was born. No one even wants to study and read. He has become a puppet of the factory. The factory has become everything they rely on for survival. What a terrible situation that would be." Xue Ji said with some fear when he thought of this, "Uncle Yan, you don't know how terrible that quiet scene is, and how those treacherous expressions make people sick and cold."
"It was not until I recalled the innocent smiles of the children in the Tang Academy, the eyes of seeking knowledge and the vibrant laughter in the academy that I felt better." Xue Ji smiled bitterly, "Maybe for the Japanese, the Tang Dynasty is really beautiful. This time, the spy who came with us was also the spy who stumped in by the Japanese monks. I deliberately let them in. I also knew that these people would leave Japan in the end. After coming to the Tang Dynasty, they would never think about going back in their lives."
"Because as long as they go to Chang'an, they will know how terrible the Japanese government will be today." Xue Ji whispered.
"What do you mean is that Gu Qing started to detonate Asu Mountain in Japan to now let the Japanese people submit to work in the factory to achieve what you said?" Yan Liben asked.
Xue Ji nodded slowly and showed a fear of Gu Qing in his eyes. "I have never thought how terrible a person is. It is said that Gu Qing kills people without blinking. I think they are all light. Killing people is just heartbroken. Gu Qing has always wanted the Japanese to live a better life. From the beginning, Gu Qing did not treat the Japanese well. Maybe from the beginning that the volcano of Asu Mountain was detonated, Gu Qing had already made the decision to let the Japanese disappear from then on. He had never had any kindness to Japan."
"This kind of thinking makes the Japanese a puppet from the perspective of thinking. At that time, the Japanese monks wanted to persuade their Japanese people not to work in factories, but the Japanese monks did this and became the object of abandonment by the Japanese. Whoever dared to stop the Japanese from going to factories to make money is the object of abandonment by the Japanese. Even studying is disgusting to them. It is such a wonderful thing for them to be able to earn profits with simple efforts in the factory."
"I don't know why the Japanese became like this, cutting flesh with soft knives, picking meat from bones, and cooking frogs in warm water. I have never understood what these Japanese people think. They never know the importance of knowledge, and they will always be enslaved by us." Xue Ji smiled bitterly, "If it were me, I would think this is more terrible than destroying the country and the country. This is a common sense change and a mental change."
"Killing people is just a heartbreaker." Yan Liben also sighed.
"Gu Qing is the most terrifying person I have ever seen. He can make the Tang Dynasty rich, and he can even destroy a country. Who is he sacred?" Xue Ji said this and his tone was trembling.
Yan Liben fell into silence.
The entire port also fell into a carnival because of the return of the sea ship. The return of the sea ship brought more wealth, including the glass made of these three major ships, as well as newly made rubber, bricks, ores, etc.
Yan Liben also ordered the port to be repaired for two days and sent the fleet back to Chang'an in two days.
Xue Ji took a hot shower and went to bed. After the carnival, Yan Liben looked at the quietness of the port. The port was very quiet late at night. Many of the crew members who returned were lying down. Yan Liben instructed people, "Wake up those who sleep on the ground and ask them to go to bed and don't catch a cold."
"yes."
Xue Ji slept until the evening of the next day. After washing up, he had another meal. Then he began to sort the goods on the ship and prepared to organize his return to Chang'an.
Yan Liben was also recording the goods on the ship. In order to ensure that there are no missing goods after they arrive in Chang'an, the port also had to make a record and send them to Chang'an. Xue Ji took Yan Liben to check them together.
"These black things are rubber?" Yan Liben was no longer surprised by Liuli, but was very curious about this unprecedented rubber.
"The fired thing means that it has been a lot of trouble. After knowing the method, this thing can be made quickly. However, there is black smoke when it is burned, which is very pungent. The Japanese are all making it if we are not close to us." Xue Ji said, "I don't know what the use of this thing is. It seems to be very important to Mr. Gu."
"How is it hard?"
Xue Ji took out a piece of rubber, bent it hard in his hand and let it go, and then it was restored. He smiled and said, "This is what this thing does. According to the people accompanying the factory, this is an indispensable thing for making engines. Now the factory dares not do too much. These are all made by Japan."
"Yeah, I think Gu Qing started exploring this thing a few years ago." Yan Liben said.
"Yes," said Xue Ji. "There are not many fig trees in Japan, and all we can make is this cabin. Now fig trees have been planted in many places in Japan. I have tried using the juice of other plants, but figs are not as good as it is. According to the factory people, Gu Houye accidentally mentioned a crop called oak. That kind of thing is better for refining rubber, but this thing does not have it in the Central Plains."
"Gu Qing knows everything." Yan Liben smiled bitterly.
A few days later, Gu Qing also received news from the port that was rushing to the ground.
"The head of the family." Fan Jian said with seven or eight letters, "The ship has entered the port and started returning. This is a letter from the port along the way of Dongwu. The nearest one is Yueyang. I believe the fleet has passed Yueyang and can reach Chang'an within three days."
Gu Qing looked at the letters.
Fan Jian continued, "I think the merchants in Jiangnan agreed to build the waterways very carefully. Now the fleet can move so quickly."
Gu Qing nodded slightly and took another letter. The letter was Li Ke, the King of Wu of Eastern Wu. The letter said that the rice from Nanzhao is being tried to plant in Jiangdong area of Eastern Wu. The trial planting started this year. He also congratulated his fleet on returning, said a lot of compliments, and said a lot of comfort to Li Chengqian's actions. He also asked if planting the Nanzhao waterway would be successful.
After reading it, Gu Qing picked up his pen and started writing about the cultivation techniques of Nanzhao rice. The planting of grain crops is closely related to the climate. The light and climate in the Nanzhao area are very different from that in Guanzhong. When transplanting crops in the south, you need to pay attention to the length of light. In fact, the grain in Jiangnan has been harvesting well, and you can even harvest for two seasons. You can try it. You should consider more about the issues of water, soil, climate, and length of light. It is best to send someone to Nanzhao to see the climate in Nanzhao on site.
