Villager of Daming

Chapter 1322: Communication Powerful Skills Like Tides (Extra Eight Chapters)

"Now others are holding up the sky for you. When you grow up, you will hold up the sky for the people of Ming Dynasty. The torch will be passed on and civilization will not be extinguished. How are the various places doing?"

Zhu Wentian said something to the little guy again, regardless of whether he could understand it or not, and then turned around to ask about the earthquake.

The earthquake is over. The biggest earthquake was just now, and the aftershocks are not as strong as the strongest one.

In order to deal with the earthquake, the imperial court sent out 200,000 regular troops. The soldiers went out wearing short military uniforms, that is, camouflage uniforms and boots.

He had no weapons with him, but his backpack contained a canvas rubberized raincoat, the same military green raincoat that Zhu Wentian wore at the time, with a hood that could be turned up.

Then they put on a large piece of plastic sheet to wrap their luggage, a set of dry military uniforms for change, and a notebook. The soldiers have become accustomed to recording their military life.

Flashlight, military water bottle, rope, medical kit, three days of individual rations, individual tool kit, rock sugar wrapped in oil paper...

Other tools carried include pickaxes, shovels, hammers, chisels, crowbars...

Two hundred thousand people were distributed to several surrounding prefectures, but Ningguo Prefecture did not want them because it had the ability to solve the problem on its own and had money!

Twenty-one villages in Xuancheng County of Ningguo Prefecture donated 300,000 strings of cash, including the one in December that was caused by two earthquakes.

A village has more than 10,000 strings of cash, and one family has dozens of strings of cash. They donate without hesitation. They have money!

Money makes the world go round. Everyone works hard after spending the money to buy things and hire people.

The key point is that the people in other counties of Ningguo Prefecture are also rich, so they also contributed a little and took the opportunity of the earthquake to repair the roads that needed to be repaired and build better bridges after the earthquake.

Taiping Prefecture does not use troops either. They have miners. When the earthquake happened, all the mines stopped working and they did other things! They are strong.

The two counties of Yingtian Prefecture, including Shijiu Lake, do not need troops. Everyone is united and can buy all the things by themselves. They have money!
The army had no choice but to run to Zhenjiang Prefecture, east of Yingtian Prefecture, a little northeast of Yangzhou Prefecture, and a little northwest of Jiangxi Province, Chuzhou.

In addition, some troops were allocated to Hezhou on the other side of the river from Taiping Prefecture, Guangde Prefecture to the east of Ningguo Prefecture, and Changzhou Prefecture adjacent to Yingtian, Zhenjiang, and Guangde.

The scope of this earthquake was too large. You can see the reason for the exemption of land rent by looking at it. Why should it be exempted if there was no disaster?

Historically, a large number of troops and manpower and material resources were being mobilized to repair the Great Wall, and disasters occurred every year. On the first day of March in the eighth year of Hongwu, it was decided to issue treasure notes.

It's no longer possible to prove that the court has no money, and they are still exempting the land rent, which shows the extent of the disaster...

People in other places are not as wealthy as those in special provincial capitals and need the army to provide confidence and support.

The army is idle now and many people are not needed at the border. They are free main forces and it would be a waste if they are not used.

The capital does not need their guards. The guards in the Prince's Mansion and the palace are enough to deal with enemies seeking death.

If anyone could mobilize the troops to capture Xiaqiu Village at this time, they could have wiped out the Ming army in other places long ago.

Even if they took the people with them, the troops would not attack the city, because fighting requires command. Where is their commander? More than 20 miles away? Then what are you attacking?

Besides, is it safe 20 miles away? Not to mention 20 miles, we can still attack you even if we are 20 kilometers away. Xiaqiu Village has two airships, which are not used at ordinary times and are kept there for storage.

They also started to build planes. Two small planes equipped with heavy machine guns took off and flew over to ask you if you were scared.

Force the people to attack the city? Let the people climb the ladder or climb by themselves? At such a close distance, wouldn't the sniper who practices shooting every day shoot you?
As for asking Zhu Yuanzhang to surrender, or else he would kill the people...

If this is useful, everyone can just capture other people's civilians. By capturing a group of civilians, you can gain territory and there's no need to fight a war!
In this case, there is no need for so many troops to garrison the capital. It is most appropriate to send them out to deal with the disaster.

It's time to ask about the situation and ask someone to make a phone call.

All telephone lines have been replaced with copper wires, which have high transmission efficiency. A high reward has been offered, and so far no one has dared to steal the telephone lines.

If you steal telephone wires, you can only hide them yourself and not sell them. You will be caught if you sell them to anyone.

The imperial court offered a reward. No matter how much the telephone wire was worth, as long as someone was found stealing it and the person was caught, the reward would be one thousand strings of cash.

Craftsmen who were capable of copper work were closely watched and they did not dare to steal.

Others stole it and sold it to them, and they became rich.

If you steal a telephone line, you can’t sell it and you can’t use it yourself, so why steal it?
"Report! Many houses in Yingtian Prefecture collapsed, especially mud-brick bungalows. I don't know the exact number. The earthquake just ended and I haven't had time to check carefully yet."

"Report! A large number of houses collapsed in Yangzhou Prefecture."

"The walls of Zhenjiang Prefecture were cracked, and the number of civilian casualties is unknown."

"The water of Shijiu Lake has flooded and washed down all the houses near the lake, but no one is hurt."

"Some poultry and livestock ran away from the villages in Xuancheng County. They said they would wait until the disaster was over and look for them in the morning."

"The Chizhou government office was damaged, and people's houses collapsed on a large scale from a distance. Fortunately, everyone lives in tents and will wait until the sun comes out."

"It is confirmed that one of the mine entrances at Ma'anshan has collapsed. It is not clear how much has collapsed inside, but no one is inside."

"Four of the stone kilns in Zhenjiang Prefecture were destroyed. That's all we know so far. We can see them if we are close to them. We are not sure about the others yet."

"The telephone line in Wuwei Prefecture, Luzhou Prefecture, was broken. We were still able to make calls before the earthquake. They sent a telegram saying they were checking the line on the other side of the river."

As messages came in one after another, everyone stopped eating and listened quietly.

So the busiest department right now is the communications department, which has to guard every telephone line and send and receive telegrams.

Of course, the people outside who are responsible for maintaining each telephone line are also tired, as they need to check the lines.

Just call other places from your own point, one location every ten kilometers. If you call both sides and the call goes unanswered, then there is a problem on your side and you need to check it out immediately. It is enough to check within five kilometers because the other side will also check over there.

Communicate after walking a certain distance, gradually narrow the scope, and reconnect the broken part.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a big sip of beer and burped. "After the earthquake, where can we count the specific data? Everyone stay where they are and dare not move.

The aftershocks were sometimes strong and sometimes weak. I could only pour half a glass of beer, and it would shake out after a few shakes.

The earthquake has happened! There are losses. But there are also gains. The people can build houses properly.

Originally, they were asked to build it, with the court providing the bricks and concrete and them paying for the steel bars, but they were unwilling to do so.

Now that the houses are in bad condition, we have to agree that the steel bars cannot be given for free. The people must pay a part of the cost, otherwise they will cheat.

How do I know this? Humph! If it were me, I would do the same. If there is a bargain to be had, I would take it.

But we didn't take advantage of others, we always took advantage of Xiaqiu Village, because there are masters in Xiaqiu Village! Isn't that right, silly? Hehehehe..."

Zhu Wentian: "..."

How can people take shamelessness as a matter of course? So calm? He is indeed an emperor, no wonder officials are like this, learning from him!
Fortunately, this emperor is okay. At least he is not a bandit or an Anglo-Saxon.

If it were these two, they should be eradicated. They are cancer! Human cancer is nothing more than this.

Evil to the core, sinister to the depths of the soul! You have the audacity to talk about the law of the jungle, but you are just a beast!

"Silly, make a sound!" Zhu Yuanzhang was shameless and even asked for cooperation from an expert.

Zhu Wentian took a deep breath: "Hehehehe..."

Everyone: "..."

"Drink, everyone, drink!" Zhu Yuanzhang was helpless, he didn't dare to do anything to the master.

Zhu Biao saw that everyone had nothing to do: "Father, Goryeo should be stable this year. However, the local forces are still there. Should we raise an army? Should we control them?"

"Say something to your good brother!" Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer, "Silly man, are you asking me?"
"Brother Hanhan!" Zhu Biao was willing to follow the advice. No, he obeyed the order.

Zhu Wentian is older than him, but he is usually considered younger than him, otherwise Zhu Xiongying should call him uncle. The older one is called uncle, and the younger one is called uncle.

It's just that everyone deliberately treats Zhu Wentian, who is a few days older, as younger than Zhu Biao. When Zhu Biao is talking alone, he calls Hanhan "brother". It's not shameful, not at all.

There has always been a theory of reincarnation, and everyone has always believed that Hanhan is a reincarnated person. How old is he then?
"Restrict! Unite all the forces that can be united, and then defeat them one by one, and slowly place our people among them, and use both bribery and conscription to do so."

Zhu Wentian proposed a solution: others wanted benefits, but he wanted the land and population under their jurisdiction.

The imperial power of Goryeo was returned to the Ming Dynasty. The local forces are actually very strong. Now the local forces dare not touch the Ming Dynasty, but are always thinking about how to take power themselves.

That is, local warlords are separatist, and whoever gives benefits but has the most intense desire to resist should be attacked.

Who to attack and who not to attack? Just read "On the Six Kingdoms" to find out.

Even the country with the most powerful military and economic power at that time used this approach.

It's just that his country is more familiar with this kind of thing, so it took countermeasures, keeping a low profile, and even endured hardships for a period of time.

There were many conflicts among the local forces in Goryeo, although Baekje, Silla and Goguryeo gradually formed a stable political system after unification.

In reality, as long as someone instigates the people, they will still be hostile to each other.

The key lies in the local forces, who deliberately instigate such conflicts in order to safeguard their own rights.

Then we can use their strength to our advantage, spread rumors, give them benefits, divide them, and make them distrust each other, fail to cooperate, and fail to unite.

Provoke their ethnic hatred, make one up if there is none, and let them carry out regional attacks, send several groups of people to play different places to engage in verbal battles. If it really doesn't work, sanction a certain force, saying that it forced the local people to work and enslave them, and then during trade, do not allow that force to sell its products, and do not allow the other party to buy their products.

These methods have already existed in ancient China, but they were just used by others during Zhu Wentian's time.

"What kind of investment is needed?" Zhu Biao didn't know what Hanhan was thinking. He thought the other party was considering targeting Goryeo.

"Of course it's medical treatment! The medicinal herbs there are good, but we should make them collapse their medicinal herbs and the medical system based on them.

I gave some medicines, such as antibiotics, alcohol, and pain-relieving tablets and mixtures.

We sometimes use it, and it is indeed good, but I usually give us medicine from our own system.

Unless necessary, I will not give you antibiotics. You can just drink herbal soup or take pills to solve the problem.

Our standard for medication is to use it if possible. If medication is necessary, use it without antibiotics.

When antibiotics must be used, we avoid intravenous drips if possible, and avoid surgery when medication is possible."

Zhu Wentian proposed another set of offensive strategies in the medical field, which was to make the other side destroy its own medical system.

He knew that he was like this at that time. The Japanese pirates were very skilled, right? Even the Chinese medicine in his own country was criticized by its own people.

Later it was discovered that many good medicinal herbs had been bought by the Japanese pirates, including Chinese medicinal herbs!
Including Chinese medicinal prescriptions, the Japanese pirates also bought them and then registered patents.

Even though the Internet and information were so developed at that time, there were still a group of traitors who worshipped foreign things, let alone Goryeo today.

"Yes, that's right!" Zhu Biao agreed.

Everyone continues to eat and drink. There is no need to use force in Yunnan. Just send some crops over to plant and pay more money.

The earthquake was a minor problem, and Zhu Biao and his ministers were always paying attention to Goryeo and the Jurchens in the northeast.

There are so many good things in Northeast China. Royal jelly and toad oil are really effective when taken together, and the effects are visible if taken for a long time.

The key is that the rice from Northeast China is also delicious. When Naha came out, there was very little rice, and some places didn’t even grow crops. How ridiculous!

So far, a large number of people have not been relocated there. Instead, the army has been sent there to find small plains to grow rice using mechanical equipment.

Rice is grown in the Northeast, and wheat is grown in something called the Golden Wheat Zone, at thirty-six degrees north latitude, that... belt?

In some places in Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi and Shaanxi, wheat is delicious.

The big pine nuts from Northeast China are also delicious, as are the blood-red rivet mushrooms, cocoon pupae... The ones made in Xiaqiu Village are quite delicious, but forget about the big bug.

Wait until the moths come in spring, this is medicine, the male silkworm moth has aphrodisiac effect.

Not to mention ginseng, it is a life-saving substance.

"The fish are fresh in winter where we are! Oh! Where we used to live."

Nahachu wanted to talk about the advantages of the Northeast. There are lakes, the lakes are frozen, and people can fish by breaking ice.

"It's not your turn yet. Sea bass, shad, mandarin fish, whitebait, naked carp, river knife, pufferfish, whitebait, and yellow carp are all tastier than the fish from where you came from."

Zhu Wentian disagreed. If you were to say which tussah silkworm is the best, it must be Nahachu. There is no one in the world who can compete with him.

As for fish, the good fish definitely don't come from there. You can find them further north.

Or you can try the black fungus from the trade areas. The black fungus from Fushun is delicious.

Therefore, people in Fushun are always very picky when buying black fungus outside. They feel that it is obviously not very good, so why is it sold so expensively?
The fungus is not velvety at all, the color is light, and the size is big. What kind of crap is this? How dare they sell it so expensive? It’s not the same when I buy it at home!

Are the fish in that river good? It's called Hunhe River, and you can tell from the name.

Of course, we also have better specialties, such as amber and jet, which other places cannot compete with, and Yunnan's amber cannot compare.

So be careful when digging in that coal mine, save the amber and don't let it burn.

"Where are these fish from?" Nahachu was not angry, he had never heard of naked carp.

"I'll tell you later, give you the atlas and the distribution of production areas. Sometimes the cleaner the water, the better. Yellow River carp like the fishy smell of earth. With cooking skills, the fishy smell is turned into freshness, just like loach."

Zhu Wentian explained it to Nahachu, saying that there was no time to go into detail as telegrams and phone calls came in one after another.

Everyone was eating and drinking, actually just waiting for news.

If I don't eat skewers and drink beer here, I won't be able to sleep when I go back. How can I sleep during an earthquake? There are also constant aftershocks.

Therefore, everyone got enough sleep in advance, and then received reports from all over here.

……

Amid the aftershocks, the sky gradually brightened, but the rain did not stop.

Singing and dancing also started. The aftershocks were small, and the palace maids and eunuchs were bored and asked to perform.

Instead of sitting there doing nothing, it is better to jump on the stage, to make yourself happy and to make others happy.

"Our great grandson really has the demeanor of a great general. Even with the aftershocks still going on, he is still sleeping soundly!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his grandson.

Zhu Xiongying was snoring. He had actually adjusted his sleeping time, but was still affected by his biological clock and fell asleep again.

I couldn't sleep well because it was hot, humid and there were earthquakes.

We gave him a quilt, and he would hold it and toss around, either by himself or the quilt. This quilt must not be used to cover one, not even with the air conditioner on. It is best suited for holding oneself.

This is a habit of some northerners. In summer, if you give them a blanket and a quilt, they will choose the quilt.

That quilt is not for covering yourself, it is for hugging. It is cool. If you feel hot, just turn over.

Why not use a pillow? The pillow is small! And the shape is not easy to fit.

The quilt is big, and it can be hugged by arms and tucked between legs, making it invisible.

In some places in the north, for newlyweds, the husband's family will provide quilts, and the wife's family will also include quilts in the dowry.

The quilts from the husband's family are generally shorter, while the dowry quilts from the parents' family are longer.

Is it the cloth or cotton that is missing from my husband's family? Neither.

In fact, it is shorter in winter, so two people can only sleep in each other’s arms, and try to cover each other with more quilt.

This is the purpose of the husband’s family, but it was passed down later and many people, including the husband’s family, don’t know the reason and think it should be so.

My daughter-in-law always complains, "Look, the quilts at your house are not tight enough, so I have to bring them from my parents' home."

In the past, marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers, and there was no love between husband and wife, so this method was used to bring two people together.

Later on, it was no longer the case. Why did we need such a short quilt? Do you cover your belly button when you sleep in the summer?
News came in one after another, and at daybreak, everyone rode on horseback to check the situation, took their cameras and took pictures, and came back to develop the negatives and number them.

This was designed when the film was being made, for editing purposes later in the filming of the movie.

Editors are very talented. They need to find the most suitable film from a huge amount of films and then splice them together, which is much more difficult than a jigsaw puzzle.

Equally amazing are the sound effects artists, who provide background music for movies that can evoke emotions through sound.

In many cases, people ignore the background music when watching a movie, but are always affected by it. This is a skill.

Unlike the video I made later, the background music was...

Even CCTV's videos make the low-level mistake of background music drowning out normal speaking voices. If someone with such skills wants to be a movie sound effects technician, he will be asked to type it out directly. Get lost!
The conditions are limited at the moment, so the requirements for multiple editors and sound engineers are…higher.

Zhu Wentian taught the villagers, and the villagers studied hard and then taught others.

When Zhu Wentian taught, no villager dared not to take it seriously; he was the village's faith.

When teaching others in Xiaqiu Village, they really use violence. If they don’t learn well, they will be beaten. If they still can’t learn after one beating, they will be kicked out of the team. Don’t do that!

Films and tapes are very expensive! How can you get so many to practice with?

"We still need to lay telephone lines and strengthen telegraph lines. This feels great!"

Zhu Yuanzhang yawned, listened to the report, and marveled at the power of communication technology.

"Your Majesty, I think the 702 walkie-talkie is the best to use in war, it has a wireless communication range of thirty miles!

Hot air balloons are released into the sky, and people on top observe and transmit information at the same time.

When the time comes and the ground artillery cooperates, I dare not imagine how difficult it will be for the enemy. Anyway, I am afraid!
At this moment, I am glad that I became a member of the Ming Dynasty so early. "

Nahachu is always trying to understand the technology of Xiaqiu Village, and the more he understands, the greater his fear becomes.

If I surrender a year later, I guess it won't be necessary and I can just destroy it.
