Chapter 6723 Destiny
Looking at Liu Ting, Chen Xi finally felt that his hard work over the years was enough to help the lower class turn things around. However, there was no other way. Chen Xi's previous efforts could only help the people of this era to gradually have enough food and clothing, but as for turning things around, there was basically no change.
Even though Chen Xi tried hard to suppress the Han family, the Han family still held the power of education. Even though Chen Xi continued to promote education, no outstanding figures were born among the lower-class people, and the technical personnel who mingled in the Han officialdom still had close ties with the Han family.
In other words, the education that Chen Xi has been promoting has not achieved the desired results as Chen Xi expected, but this is normal.
Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the imperial examination system has been continuously promoted, and folk education has also been continuously developed with the help of the royal family. However, it still took hundreds of years to dismantle the educational rights of the aristocratic families. Moreover, if we really want to talk about the talents born from the lower classes of the people during this period, compared with those from the wealthy families, they are still very few.
Therefore, Chen Xi's early efforts in education were also based on the attitude of cultivating people over a hundred years, and he did not expect to get results in a short period of time. It was not that he thought there were no talented people among the descendants of the common people, but that he felt that under the current environment, it was difficult for the descendants of ordinary people to take the time to study in depth.
After all, when both are geniuses, one only needs to study and master knowledge, while the other needs to spend most of his time cutting grass for pigs, doing farm work, collecting firewood, etc. Moreover, the former does not need to waste his brain on some low-level knowledge, while the latter cannot find a suitable teacher in his rare free time, and has to deduce and analyze on his own in order to master the existing knowledge.
It was just like the math problems in the first scientific examination. Why did Chen Xi think Zhao Shuang was a monster? The guy had no concept of prime numbers, but after reading the problem, he reversed the concept from it and then solved the problem according to this rule.
What kind of incredible talent is this? What an outrageous operation. To put it bluntly, if the exam time was a little longer, Zhao Shuang would have figured out the answer by himself after deducing the rules. This is much more valuable than Cai Yan's answer to the same type of questions after learning from Professor Chen Xi.
Similarly, if Zhao Shuang had studied mathematics systematically in the future, would he have stopped at the level of algebra in junior high school and high school? It would not be too difficult to get a doctorate in mathematics or even win an award, and this is the significance of environment and qualifications to geniuses.
Over the years, no one among the lower-class people had impressed Chen Xi, and Chen Xi had no doubts about it. After all, the situation in the Han Dynasty meant that even if the descendants of the lower-class people received the compulsory education organized by Chen Xi, they would not be able to devote themselves to it wholeheartedly.
This is why Chen Xi made the final stage of compulsory education focus on acquiring a skill, because he also knew what most people really needed.
In fact, let alone the people of the Han Dynasty, even for ordinary people today, the significance of learning in most cases is not to create a new era, nor to become a giant of the era to be recorded in history. Most ordinary people learn more to make their lives easier in the future.
In other words, for most ordinary people, their studies are only for work, and work is for life. To be more realistic, it is just to make some money so that they and their families can live better. As for promoting the development of the times and creating a new pattern, these are very distant things for most ordinary people.
Therefore, Chen Xi's education is also developing along this practical route. The final stage of compulsory education is to enable students to master a skill that can be used to survive. It does not need to be advanced. As long as they master this skill, the pressure of life in the future will be reduced to a certain extent.
But what he didn't expect was that when Chen Xi had no hope, there was actually a guy from an ordinary family who took a solid step forward in the technical route.
As for Liu Ting's behavior, which would be ridiculed as a nerd in later generations, it is not a problem at all in this era. After all, each era has different requirements for human beings.
"It seems that Captain Liu protects his nephew very well." Chen Xi said to Liu Chang with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Liu Chang laughed dryly. Although he was not sure what kind of heaven-defying thing his nephew had come up with that made two great gods condescend to come in person, if Liu Bei was a guy who could be seen occasionally, then Chen Xi was really a guy who didn't run around often.
"My eldest brother and sister-in-law have only this one son, and he died early. Later, I joined the army and had a family background, so he didn't have to suffer. I wanted to find him a wife a few years ago, but he was always busy with these things, and we never found a suitable one." Liu Chang was very happy to hear this, and he felt that his hard work over the years had not been in vain.
Compared to Liu Chang's seven children, Liu Ting really did not suffer. After all, he was the only descendant of his eldest brother. Liu Chang would rather suffer a little himself than let Liu Ting suffer. From childhood to adulthood, Liu Ting rarely went to the fields to work. Most of the time, he stayed at home to fiddle with his favorite things. Liu Chang did not care. Liu Chang's wife was also virtuous. Thinking that Liu Chang could afford to support him, she did not say anything.
It is because of this prerequisite that Liu Ting was able to learn, verify, and then actually make this thing.
Even though it is just a pinhole imaging and light reflection, Chen Xi knows it all. But to be honest, on the one hand, it is impossible for Chen Xi to do this kind of thing. On the other hand, piecing together simple knowledge to make a valuable finished product is also a very important ability.
By now, there are at least eight thousand people who understand pinhole imaging and light reflection, but only Liu Ting, an auditor, realized that these things can be combined and played with in this way.
"The right one will be found soon. If you go to the university to study as a teaching assistant, your wife will fall from the sky in no time." Chen Xi said with a smile, and what he said was not empty talk.
Even if the concubines' daughters and the daughters born in the family are now used to win over the middle-level officers in their own fiefdoms, there will definitely be some left. A single man who is young and has technical knowledge and is a teacher in a university to teach knowledge to people of the same age or even older than him is definitely worth investing in.
As for people who look a little stupid and slow to react? Is that a problem? That's not a problem. Without such concentration, how can you perform so well at this age? As for things like social skills, our family wants your technical strength, not your social connections.
At this level, if you want to choose a legitimate daughter of the family, it is definitely not possible. But an ordinary concubine's daughter can be used to win over people anyway. It can be used to win over centurions or teachers who can cultivate technical talents. Even if there is a loss, it is only a concubine's daughter, and it can be afforded.
Therefore, you don't have to worry about marriage. As long as you develop to a certain level, your wife will fall from the sky. Even if you develop to an incredible level, the government will arrange one for you even if you don't want it at all.
"What are you saying?" Liu Chang is not a fool, he has seen a lot. Although his wife is from a poor family, it is still a good family. Before, he wanted to find a wife for his nephew, but he also looked for one in the surrounding area. To be honest, Liu Chang himself didn't know how to find a wife for himself. To be honest, his wife was given by the government.
Compared to the ones I find myself, the ones issued by the government are obviously more reliable. It's a pity that my nephew's level is not enough to get a wife issued by the government. But now, Liu Chang understood what Chen Xi said immediately. There is a future for him!
"We will take this thing away and study it when the time comes. Adjusting and optimizing it will be of great significance for local literacy." Chen Xi looked at Liu Ting and said with satisfaction. Fan Qin was able to make a profit from Chen Xi by simplifying the arcane mirror and reducing the difficulty of use. With Chen Xi's default black gold and black equipment, Liu Ting's level of output is basically the same as Fan Qin's, and he just got a wife out of nowhere. It's not a loss at all!
Movies are of great significance in promoting literacy and breaking down feudal superstitions. Chen Xi has seen an old soldier who had reached the sixth level of spiritual enlightenment being deceived by local sorcerers and witches into selling his land and house, and his family was almost broken up.
Although afterwards Li You took the Investiture of the Gods to eliminate feudal superstitions in the local area and arrested the shamans and witches directly, and then asked more professional people to demonstrate to the brother of the Sixth Layer of Melting what high-level feudal superstition is, and then returned the sold house and land to the brother, and sent the brother to the Ganges to serve in the army to prevent him from being deceived by local feudal superstitions.
There is no way. Believing in this stuff does not depend on personal ability or intelligence. Sometimes, even if you are very smart, you will still fall into this trap. It is not uncommon for a doctoral student to be cheated by a fortune teller who did not even graduate from elementary school and ended up with his family being destroyed.
The territory of the Han Dynasty is now ridiculously large, and it is indeed difficult for Chen Xi to manage some corners. Even local bureaucrats can only conduct routine inspections in some remote areas. As for how deep the management should be, that is basically nonsense. Naturally, the religions that have been passed down from ancient times in local villages still exist.
Regarding this kind of thing, Chen Xi has always believed that if it is just to enjoy the incense of the village, the four seasons sacrifices or something like that, Chen Xi will not pay special attention to it. After all, this is also a folk belief. We must understand that this is not a question of ignorance or not. This normal ritual is closer to a spiritual sustenance.
What Chen Xi really wants to crack down on is the kind of living sacrifices, blood sacrifices, the sea god's wedding, the river god marrying a wife, and other practices that often use two boys and girls as sacrifices. Kill them if you encounter any of these.
However, after so many years, it is not really a complete solution, because where such things happen, sometimes the whole village is like this, and everyone from top to bottom keeps a tight lid. If the local bureaucrats are unwilling to investigate further, they will just send someone to investigate the rumors, and such things can be easily concealed.
In addition, in some villages where live sacrifices were performed, the people chosen were not locals but passers-by from other places. This kind of outrageous operation would have been a mystery even in the 1980s and 1990s, let alone the third century. As long as the whole village kept a tight lid, this case would have been a mystery.
In addition, the vitality of heaven and earth has recovered, and some things have really come out of it. Of course, the gameplay that was once passed down has its own problems. Or the village chief who took the lead is gifted. Anyway, he captured a foreigner for blood sacrifice, and this year's grain production has increased...
This kind of incredible operation would be impossible to confirm, let alone the locals, even if Chen Xi went there in person, if there was no solid evidence. After all, the people in the village were tight-lipped and would capture outsiders for sacrifice at specific times, but otherwise, they were exactly the same as a normal village.
By the way, this is a village after the merger of villages. It's ridiculous. It has obviously been assimilated by feudal superstition enthusiasts who understand this game. It should be said that the morality of the people these days is indeed low. In addition, these years have just passed through a chaotic world, so there is no psychological pressure at all to kill a few people.
In short, this matter is really outrageous. As for why Chen Xi knew that such an outrageous thing would happen, it was because the super free-lance guards with a salary of 600 stones who could roam around the world and recruit local militias were considered to be the best sacrifice by the other party because they were alone.
In fact, Wei Jun was overwhelmed by the local rice wine and bacon. At that time, he thought the locals were really warm and enthusiastic. He was going to leave some southern treasures for them as a thank you gift. However, when he woke up, he found himself tied up like a caterpillar. When he heard that he was going to be used as a sacrifice, Wei Jun was so angry that he directly broke free from the hemp rope.
I have to say that if there was no cloud energy, a man of Wei Jun's level, a real village massacrer, would be enough for him to find his weapons and equipment and kill his way out quickly, even if he was only wearing standard armor, holding a spear, and the bag on his horse's back was filled with a short spear and a powerful crossbow.
The people broke out at night. In the morning, Wei Jun brought fifty elite militiamen, plus the local and his immortal brother who had participated in the Battle of the Ganges, to surround the village. The other side wanted to resist stubbornly, but Wei Jun broke in directly.
After that, the other party kept quibbling and Wei Jun chose to use violent law enforcement, so that this case that was completely unsolvable was forcibly solved by Wei Jun.
What with the secrets of the village being tight, the villagers being in step, and everyone being united around the village chief, there would definitely be no evidence. Wei Jun rushed in directly and captured the village chief. Then the local immortal brother had the ability to crush the opponent's will, and beat him directly on the spiritual level to the point of will collapse. Then he violently interrogated him for evidence and even found out how old the village chief was when he wet the bed.
Then Wei Jun brought detailed evidence and people to the county government. The people in the county government were panicked, but criminals had no human rights these days, and the written evidence could be verified one by one. Soon the county government sent people down to arrest those who should be arrested, and then escorted Wei Jun out of the country.
There was no way. Although Wei Jun was only an official of 600 shi, the county magistrate did not want to mess with a man of 600 shi who could mobilize several teams of troops anywhere at will. Think about the scope of his own authority. If he moved to another place, he would have no combat effectiveness. Wei Jun could become the current governor anytime and anywhere, which was really outrageous.
This case was finally reported to Chang'an. Chen Xi took a special look at it. Afterwards, he asked people to intensify publicity and dispel feudal superstitions as much as possible. But as for the effect, only God knows.
Now that he has something similar to a movie, Chen Xi can promote literacy and dispel feudal superstitions at the same time. After all, the tricks that those people can use, Chen Xi can find professionals to play more powerful tricks. When the time comes, he can record a set of things that are more exaggerated than the feudal superstitions that ordinary people can see, and tell them that this is called science, then feudal superstitions will almost be defeated.
As for how to record and shoot, that is not Chen Xi's problem. There must be professionals anyway. When the time comes, they will provide detailed technical explanations so that ordinary people can also verify it. A few consecutive punches should be enough to eliminate most of the local feudal superstitions.
Those who were not defeated basically had some real skills. For example, the blood sacrifice of outsiders in the previous village was able to conquer all the villagers. The most important point was that after the blood sacrifice of outsiders, the grain output this year would really increase. Chen Xi had no good way to deal with this combination of technology and superstition, and could only strike back with heavy punches.
Instead of studying the principle of this technology, why do they keep sacrificing blood on outsiders? What kind of brain is that? Anyway, after Wei Jun revealed the technology, Chen Xi also studied it, and finally found that the essence of this technology was actually a fishing method used by the evil gods outside the world.
That is to say, at the beginning, they trick people into a blood sacrifice and give them some benefits. For the sake of the benefits, the locals will gradually increase the scale of the blood sacrifice, and then form a spiritual influence, and finally sacrifice together. The whole process may take more than ten years. However, considering that the evil god does not care about the length of time, he can eat a lot of things he cultivated in more than ten years, so he is not in a hurry at all!
So after the immortals in Chang'an analyzed the logic of this thing, Chen Xi found someone to rush in and kill the evil god. It turned out that the evil god was actually a bait clone created by the big evil god outside. This matter had to be left unresolved. There was no other way. It could be seen that the evil gods who still dared to fool around in the Han territory had very high IQs.
In short, the various feudal superstitions that the Han Dynasty is facing now need to be viewed separately. Some things are pure deception, while some things seem to be deceptions, and there may be very outrageous existences in them. Of course, there are also some things that seem to be deceptions. Investigations have found that there may be evil gods. In fact, it is a technology that the village chief got from somewhere to draw the power of evil gods to farm...
The latter thing also happened, but it was also a mess because the village chief did not understand the principle. He just worshipped, led people to kowtow and worship, and then burned some incense, and the local grain production increased.
There was no way out. The poor evil god was bound by the ritual picked up by the village chief. Every time he worshipped him, he would forcefully return dozens of times the power to extract the evil god's power, which would then be transformed through this ritual and thrown into the earth, bringing a good harvest to the village.
So when Zhenxing, who understood this, passed by here and found that the clay sculptures carried by the locals exuded deep resentment, he quickly found someone to come and destroy it. As a result, a group of people came and after careful study, they found that this evil god had been bound tightly, just like a milk-producing cow, who eats incense and sacrifices and produces life essence.
So this thing was obtained by the Han Dynasty, and they studied how to capture evil gods and use them as an energy source. In the end, they found that this method was not advisable. The captured evil gods were too strong to be suppressed, and those that were too weak might be beaten to death. This type of evil god that was neither weak nor strong, but just right, always gave people the feeling that it was man-made or artificially cultivated. In short, it was quite weird.
Therefore, after comprehensively considering all the circumstances, breaking feudal superstitions and carrying out local literacy campaigns have become something that must be done at present. After all, unlike in later generations when there was only one kind of feudal superstition, these days, there are many kinds of feudal superstitions.
If you take into account the gameplay of visualizing military flags, there will be even more types of that.
This is also the reason why Chen Xi attaches great importance to the improvements of Fan Qin and Liu Ting.
In Chang'an, after Chen Xi and Liu Bei ran away, the few people who were eating mutton soup steamed buns at noon were talking about all kinds of strange things.
"I heard that this mutton was confiscated from Empress Xian by the kitchen, but it tastes really good." Fa Zheng talked about the gossip he received. That's what an intelligence officer does.
"It's because we have been eating mutton for many days. The kitchen was worried that Concubine Xian would get too hot, so they stopped serving mutton and gave her something else to eat, and then they gave the mutton to us." Guo Jia said casually. Who isn't an intelligence officer? My intelligence system is also very complete.
"Can so many people eat just one sheep?" Li You glanced at the two guys who were talking nonsense. It might be true that Concubine Xian was not allowed to eat mutton, but it was nonsense to say that it was confiscated from Si Niang.
"Urgent news from Central Asia!" Just when Jia Xu wanted to say a few words, a palace guard rushed in from outside with a secret letter. Guo Jia and Fa Zheng, who were eating, stopped at the same time.
"I think it's necessary to drive Fengxiao and Xiaozhi away recently." Jia Xu said to Li You, "Look, they have so many things to do that they can't even have a meal in peace."
After saying that, Jia Xu looked at Fa Zheng and asked, "What happened in Central Asia? Is there another fight? Speaking of which, aren't they all half dead now? Where did the war start again?"
"There's a flash flood in Kandahar," Fa Zheng said solemnly. Li You and the others were stunned. How could a flash flood break out in a place like Kandahar? Besides, were Xun Yu, Chen Gong and the others dead? Even if there was a heavy rainstorm, they could disperse some of it. How could a flash flood break out in the core area of Cao Cao's forces?
"What's worse is that Cao Sikong is now fighting with Ardashir. The transportation of food and grass in the rear has been greatly affected, and there may be turmoil on the front line now." Fa Zheng said with a gloomy face. The Kandahar flood was very outrageous in Fa Zheng's view. How could a flood break out in that place? Was it Ardashir's destiny?
I struggled and failed, I didn't get up, miserable, please vote, I forgot about the double event this time, I didn't participate, too miserable
