Villager of Daming

Chapter 880 Public Opinion Propaganda IQ Exchange

The maids of the four palaces sang and danced in several stages. For them, performing shows was a basic skill.

Eunuchs also play musical instruments, which is not difficult at all. As long as you learn music theory, you will become a skilled worker. Your talent will depend on your proficiency.

People in Xiaqiu Village also know how to practice music in their free time. Some older people don't need to learn music theory and can just rely on their feelings.

One performance by the palace maids and eunuchs was to relax and let everyone have a good chat, and the other was for the common people who came to attend the dinner.

The team is not leaving today and tomorrow and needs to recover. The position in Huaiyuan is good.

Invite people to come and eat and drink together. Children will not be given, but adults will be given one tael of white wine each. A wine cup worth two yuan can drink five cups.

For people who don't usually drink alcohol, one or two taels of 60-proof liquor is enough, and you will feel refreshed after drinking it.

Just like a person who drinks little alcohol, after drinking two bottles of beer blended with an alcohol content of 2.6%, he will become confused and stagger when walking.

The people nearby were called, and each family brought a gift. A family of five or six members brought a chicken or a duck.

The common people didn't feel much about the princes because they were too far away, but they were grateful to Xiaqiu Village. They gave them ideas when they came here the year before last, and every family lived a good life.

At this moment the year before last, I was reluctant to take out the chickens and ducks raised at home and kept them to lay eggs for food.

This year, I picked the one that lays few eggs. It doesn’t matter if I carry one. I raise so many eggs mainly just to join in the fun. It doesn’t look good with empty hands.

The child naturally ate the popcorn stick, and there was another popcorn boiler next to it, the one that shook it. He blew a whistle and shouted, "Boom!", and then boom...

There is no corn, so the popcorn is made of rice, sorghum, and soybeans. Don’t pop the millet. The pressure of soybeans is small and will break when it is too big. The same goes for chestnuts, which cannot be put under the pressure of rice.

As long as it is not moist, popcorn can be stored for seven or eight days once popped. The same goes for popcorn sticks. The main thing is to seal it and put it in a good dry bamboo tube. The popcorn will stay crisp for half a month because the bamboo tube absorbs moisture.

A lot of tea leaves are placed in bamboo tubes and can be stored for a long time. Especially if the outside is brushed with tung oil and the inside is beeswax, there will be no problem for half a year.

It is generally used for gourds. It uses two internal and external sealing methods to keep the gourd airtight.

Local sergeants who are responsible for teaching literacy, arithmetic and various knowledge to the villagers also come here. They also have to be in charge of the department store here.

The sergeants have a very heavy task, including teaching literacy, simple medical methods, hygiene and epidemic prevention.

By the way, I am in charge of banknote exchange and department store operations, village building Feng Shui, breeding and planting, village road repairs, river bridges...

Feng shui generally prevents disasters and is supported by scientific theories. This is what the so-called feng shui is, and it is easy to understand.

The simplest Feng Shui path, when the path is a half circle, inside the circle is called a golden belt, which is for people who do business.

Within the arc, no matter whether it is a horse or any other animal vehicle, it will not hit your location.

If you change it to the top of the arc, it will rush to your place accidentally, so it is called the golden knife edge.

So on a T-shaped road, the road in front is facing you. In the same way, a carriage or something will hit you when it hits it. So if someone can't move it, they will put a big stone in front and ask Taishan Stone to be there. If they hit it, they will hit it first.

There is also tree planting. A farm yard has a front yard and a backyard. Big trees cannot be planted in the backyard. Thieves and the like can use this as cover.

There are no willow trees or long branches in the front yard. When the wind blows, they sway and rustle, which is scary.

The next step is to pad the yard. The yard must be padded so that it is high in the middle and low on the four sides, otherwise water will accumulate when it rains.

The well is in the middle of the courtyard, and the toilet is in the corner in front of the courtyard. This way, the well water can be prevented from being poisoned, and outsiders who borrow the toilet cannot enter. Let’s organize these things and change it into Feng Shui, which is just a set of different expressions in language and characters.

Then there is the compass. Human beings are affected by the magnetic field. Things that build houses contain radiation, and the compass will react.

The underground hydrology is complicated, but the compass still reacts. There are heavy metals in the ores in the mountains where we are, which are not good for people, but the compass still reacts.

Through the methods of natural science, plus psychology, it is part of Feng Shui.

In the Fengyang Palace in history, craftsmen did this, so as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang entered the main hall, he heard the sound of fighting.

The convenience of Nanjing is in the northeast corner of the library, where there is a path leading to Chaotian Palace.

But since most people live in that location, he would not take that road home at night. He would first walk south along the library, then go west to a street in Xiaqiu Village, and then pass the home of the Crown Princess's parents. Enter the Chaotian Palace snack area, head north from the snack area, and go home this way.

You need to walk two more passages from north to south, and that’s okay, because there are lights and people eating and drinking along the way.

If you don't walk around, you always decide that something is following you, even if you pick a lantern.

There is no need to carry a lantern when walking around, there is enough light and sound to make people feel at ease. This is Feng Shui, psychology and physiology.

This kind of thing becomes more and more scary when you talk about it more mysteriously. But when you look more scientifically, you find that it makes sense.

The people were still willing to ask for the mysterious kind, and the more so, the more they believed it, so Zhu Wentian 'translated' it according to this, and the sergeants followed suit.

There are many ignorant people, no matter what era.

For example, some businessmen saw that peaches were unsalable and very cheap in some places, so they bought them in large quantities, and then asked people to spread the word that this year was such and such, and children with uncles should ask their uncles to buy six peaches to avoid disaster.

Some people actually believed in such a weak propaganda method, and the peach sales were huge for a while.

Then there was a situation where millet production was high and could not be sold. After the merchants bought it, they continued, saying that children with aunts should eat five-color rice, millet, soybeans, mung beans, red beans, and sorghum rice.

Then it can be uncle, uncle, aunt...

The audience can also change. It used to be children, but now it has become a newly married woman, an elderly person...

Anyway, every time I cheat, I never make a mistake, including buying salt for radiation and adding iodine!

With a little trick, the people recognized the sergeant sent by the imperial court. He was so awesome and so right.

Now that the sergeants reported to the four princes and the village chief, the people felt that these people were more powerful, able to calculate the sky, the earth, the air, the clouds, the fog, the raindrops, the mountains, the water, the wetlands...

So the people who came in the evening were not ready to go home, and continued to eat and drink, and when they were looking for a tent to sleep here, the village chief came to Hanhan's big tent.

"Hanhan, do you think they haven't learned how to read well? Why should they believe such simple things?" Li Chang asked.

“Everyone doesn’t need to believe it. If you’re in the same village and you’re smart, but you don’t believe it, then others will believe it, and then they’ll point fingers at your family.

For example, you were very happy this morning, and then you met familiar people one after another, and everyone said to you, "What did you encounter?" ’‘Are you okay last night? ’ ‘How do you look... oh’.

When there are more people like this, how much psychological support do you think you have to keep yourself from being depressed? "

Zhu Wentian smiled and shook his head. Some things can wrap people up.
