Reborn superpower

In the history of China, there has never been a lack of research on "Feng Shui". For example, in this capital, there are people who are "Land of Prosperity".Zao Wou-ki is a monk, so his views on "Feng Shui" are naturally higher than ordinary magic sticks.

In Zao Wou-ki's view, whether it is Kyoto, or Chang'an, Bianliang and other places in the early years, they are actually "Lands of Longxing".But what can be seen from this kind of "feng shui" can only be called "small feng shui", that is, the "feng shui" of family prosperity and decline based on the east, west, north, south, four directions, five elements and eight trigrams in the farming culture era.

In the West, there is a kind of "astrology". Compared with Feng Shui, astrology is a view of the universe, while the latter is only a view of geography.If it is an agricultural society, the view of geography may be closer to science; but in the age of the ocean or the age of the universe, the views of feng shui and geography are obviously limited.

Before the Spring Festival, Zao Wou-ki visited Kyoto with Li Xinxin. At that time, he did not think about it from the perspective of "feng shui".

The lack of water in Kyoto was invisible in the past, but it has already appeared now, and it will be more obvious in future generations.The lack of trees in Kyoto is not the lack of trees in the city, but the lack of forest barriers. The sandstorms in later generations covered the sky and the sun, which shows that the role of the Three North Shelter Forest is very limited.

Where the five elements lack two, it is not considered a city of goodness anyway.Of course, if the leadership is aware of this problem and makes great efforts to rectify it, it may not be impossible to change it in a few decades. Congenital Feng Shui is flawed, and it can be changed the day after tomorrow.

Perhaps, when the older generation settled in Kyoto, they might subconsciously have the idea that it would be safer to rely on Xiong Guo, but the facts have proved that Xiong Guo is not necessarily safe even if it is a country with the same system as China.

I once remembered that when Huaxia was first established, some people suggested that there should be less industrial layout in Kyoto, which was criticized by Taizu and others.But the experience of later generations proves that Kyoto is really not suitable for large-scale industrialization. How much water does a Kyoto Iron and Steel Company consume?That is fighting for water with the people!

At this time, 30 people, including Zao Wou-ki, were sitting in a conference room, receiving training from external etiquette personnel. Naturally, Zao Wou-ki didn't need to listen to these so-called etiquettes, so he had the above "crazy thoughts".

"System. Can I exchange some technologies related to desert control from the system, so as to improve the ecological environment in the north?" Zhao Wou-ki thought of "sandstorm" and asked the system.

[It can be exchanged.But the system advises the host not to exchange for the time being. 】

After Zhao Wou-ki heard the system's answer, he was not depressed.This is the answer given by the system's "Scheme Optimization" function.Recently, Zao Wou-Ki likes to turn to the system, especially the "Scheme Optimization" function, when faced with some complicated problems.

The system said "don't exchange for the time being", but also gave several reasons, these reasons.Enough to convince Zao Wou-Ki.

First, Huaxia's current focus is not on "ecology", because Huaxia is still a semi-agricultural and semi-industrialized country at this time, and it is too early to talk about governance.

second.China currently does not have the money to manage the desert or the ecological environment. Ecological governance is not only a technology-intensive thing, but also a capital-intensive industry.China's first major ecological governance move took place ten years later.It is called "natural forest logging ban", and corresponding policies such as "ecological barriers in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River" have been introduced.

Third, at this time, Huaxia has not yet formed public opinion on ecological protection.For example, the news reports about the Green God Horse Organization, Chinese people think that it is because foreigners are full and have nothing to do.

Fourth, if Zao Wou-ki forcefully implements the so-called "ecological governance", not only will he not get official support, but he will form an image of "doing nothing" in the leadership, even if it is later proved that Zao Wou-ki's approach is correct, it is very "Foresight", but for Zao Wou-ki, it is not lost.

With these four things, enough, enough, enough to convince Zao Wou-ki.Indeed, governing the environment is not just about having technology.There are still many people living on the edge of the desert. These workers have lived there for generations, and the governance must involve immigration.

Zao Wou-ki's later generations have seen a piece of information about a county in Xichuan, where grasslands are seriously desertified, and the root of governance is to reduce the number of people and livestock carried by the grasslands, and at the same time use corresponding technologies.However, those tens of thousands of people have lived there for generations, and asking them to move from the pastures handed down by their ancestors is more terrifying than digging their ancestral graves.

"Comrade Zao Wou-ki, stand up and tell me what etiquette you need to pay attention to when you arrive in the United States?" Zhao Wou-ki's absent-minded appearance finally attracted the attention of the lecturer.

The lecturer was not an official official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but an old professor of the China Foreign Affairs University. This professor lived in the American society before the age of 30 and was very familiar with American etiquette. Others listened to it with gusto, but This Zao Wou-ki didn't buy his account, which made him a little angry.

Zao Wou-ki didn't listen to his class, it's not because he didn't speak well, the old professor taught well.It's just that the old professor's speech is good, but there is one thing missing, that is, respect for people. This respect refers not only to the respect of Americans, but also to our own respect.Although Zao Wou-ki appeared absent-minded, it didn't mean he didn't listen, even if he really didn't listen, the system would record it for him.

"Professor Ding, you mentioned five points, all of which are foreign affairs disciplines. If I'm not mistaken, you haven't talked about etiquette yet." Zhao Wou-ki asked back.The fact is indeed the case. The core of what Professor Ding is talking about is two words: no!

There are too many things that are not allowed in our foreign affairs discipline!

For example, after arriving in the United States, Zao Wou-ki would definitely not agree to the rule that members of the visiting group are not allowed to act alone.At this time, Zao Wou-ki didn't know which department had a problem, but he actually asked him to come here to "study". Nimei, I didn't save face for Huaxia in front of the main leaders of the provincial party committee. Disgraceful thing?

"You don't think these disciplines are important?" Professor Ding seemed to be fighting against Zao Wou-ki.

"Professor Ding, what you said is very important! You said a lot of inaccuracies just now. Next, I am listening attentively. After we arrive in the United States, what will the country allow us to do?"

"As long as it is a group activity, most things are allowed. As for the etiquette in the United States, I will tell you right away. Zao Wou-ki, you sit down." Professor Ding said, after Zao Wou-ki sat down, Professor Ding really Let's start with etiquette:

"Comrades, the United States is the most developed country in the world; after we arrive in the United States, we must learn from the Americans with humility! Although China is known as a country of etiquette, we also have to learn from the Americans in terms of etiquette in dealing with people. , because the United States is the most developed country in the world, and their etiquette is also one of the most mature countries in the world."

"Nimei, I met a rice noodle." Hearing what Professor Ding said, Zhao Wuji understood that this so-called etiquette teaching was about to get on the right track.

"First, when it comes to meals, American people use a knife and fork to eat, and the left hand forks the right knife. You can practice this well in the past two days. After you arrive in the United States for free, you will not adapt to the environment. Second, the upper class in the United States is all in suits. Tie, look at your clothes, it’s not suitable at all, uh, that classmate in the corner, your tie is too tight, this kid’s shoe, your sitting posture is wrong, you can’t cross your legs; as for Comrade Zao Wou-Ki , it is even more inappropriate to wear casual clothes."

"Nimei!" Zhao Wou-ki really wanted to curse, but considering that this guy was quite old, he decided to forget it.

"The third aspect is language. There are a lot of taboos in this area. If you don't pay attention, you will make mistakes. This is what the so-called misfortune comes from your mouth. On this point, after you arrive in the United States, you must obey the leader and the translator. s arrangement.

In addition, even after you arrive in the United States, the American people may be more aggressive or proud in their language. If you say something that offends the Chinese people, you should be more patient.For example, Americans may ask: Do you Chinese still have long braids?You just need to answer no.Because many American people's understanding of China is still in the Qing Dynasty, if you argue with it, because of environmental factors, you will definitely not win the argument, which is very likely to cause more misunderstandings. "

Hearing this, Zao Wou-ki couldn't bear it anymore: "Professor Ding, what aspect do you mean that you can't win the contest? Is it the aspect of language?"

"Language is one aspect, and the most fundamental issue is the overall development level of the country. Our country is poor and backward, and if others just use any indicator, we are no match!"

"Professor Ding, I don't agree with your point of view! First, we are Chinese, why do we debate with Americans in English? Second, it is true that China is poor and backward, but it does not mean that we cannot fight back when someone beats us; Moreover, I don't agree with your point of view that the overall backwardness is all backwardness. China is lagging behind in many aspects, but this is not a reason not to argue!"

"You, you, why are you stubborn? I want to suggest to the relevant departments that you are not suitable for visiting abroad this time!" Zhao Wou-ki ignited Professor Ding's fire with a few words!

Hearing the old professor's words, some people started to laugh.Firstly, what Zao Wou-ki said was reasonable, and secondly, some people here knew that the visiting group was actually led by Zhao Wuji.This old professor may have hit a nail.

"Professor Ding, what major do you study? It seems that you have lived in the United States for a while, can you argue with me in English?" Zhao Wou-ki did not embarrass Professor Ding in the end, but asked directly in English , He wants the old professor to quit.

"Arguing with me in English, don't say that I bully you, a young man." The old professor said this in Chinese, which means that he is polite, and it is Zao Wou-ki who is provoking him.

"Do you know who suggested the formation of this visiting group?" In this case, Zao Wou-ki decided not to give the old professor any face.

"It goes without saying that it is naturally the Huaban or the State Office." The old professor said confidently.

"Wrong! I suggested to the central government to set up this visiting group!" Zao Wou-ki decided to knock the old professor unconscious with a stick.

"Ah?" When Professor Ding heard it, he was really dizzy: "This, this, how is this possible?" (To be continued...)
