In Tang Senzhi's office, Wang Fengshou and Sima Zhi were sitting with him tasting a very special drink. It is a local indigenous drink. It is called "Kaqiqi" in the local indigenous language and is now called Longgen water in Dongguan.

It is made from the rhizome of a unique local plant, mashed and cooked. There are many different ways to drink it. For example, some people also like to add wine and sugar.

In fact, you don’t need to add anything. It is a little sweet on its own, with a slight liqueur flavor, but it does not contain alcohol under normal circumstances.

The most authentic way to make a drink is to mash the rhizome and boil it to extract the juice, filter it and let it cool. The color is a bit like red wine, and it tastes sour, sweet and refreshing. Served with Dongguo's spicy hot pot, it's as good as iced sour plum soup.

It’s hard to describe the local indigenous food. Dragon root water is a rare drink that tastes good and looks good. According to many tribal legends, Kaqiqi can cure all diseases.

After identification by a group of experts, it has indeed the effects of clearing away heat and detoxification, soothing the liver and improving eyesight, dissipating stagnation and reducing swelling, producing body fluids and quenching thirst, removing dampness and clearing fire. It is a very good summer drink.

The dragon root water that several people drank was not processed on site, but was brought over by Sima Zhi and put in a large drink bottle. The Yangyuan Valley Research Institute improved the production process, and Van Dyke also developed specialized equipment for industrial production.

Huanxiang Industrial has launched such a local specialty drink, which has been distributed to construction site workers as labor insurance benefits. Everyone likes to drink it, and even gave it a nickname - Black Desolate Tea.

The workers drank the Longhei Desolate Tea distributed for free on the construction site, and even went to the "Fesuo Port Grocery Store" to buy it. The purchase intention exceeded 90%, but the Dragon Root Water has not yet been distributed for sale. Can't buy it yet.

It can already be introduced to the market as a regular product. It is distributed in Huanxiangte State and Kilili Kingdom through the channel of Fiso Port Grocery Store. At the same time, it is exported in small batches to Roba Alliance and Dongguo.

This product is called Dragon Root Water, and the brand has been registered. It is developed by Yangyuan Valley and produced by Huanxiang Industrial. The promotion in Dongguo is left to the housing management and development. The employees will be given a benefit first. If you want to buy it after drinking it, you can go to the non-profit store. Sogang Grocery Store.

The three of them got together today, not specifically to study this special drink, but just to taste it by the way, and were talking about what happened in the central living area of ​​Chunrongdan the day before yesterday.

Wang Fengshou: "Tang Caishen, did you plan this? Mr. Hua came to the door and asked Mr. Yang to teach everyone a lesson. Some words are only suitable for him to say in person..."

Tang Senzhi interrupted him: "Do you have any evidence?"

Sima Zhi laughed at the side and said: "Great harvest, Tang Caishen, in the entire Yangyuan Valley, is there anyone who is more scheming and more scheming than you two? The one who can see through Tang Finance Minister's tricks at a glance is Foreign Minister Wang!"

Wang Fengshou shook his head and said: "Don't praise me like that. The really smart one is Director Hua. He understood Tang Caishen's little thoughts as soon as he heard it, but he didn't point it out. He cooperated so easily!"

Tang Senzhi interrupted again: "Sima Huahua, why are you here so slowly? I remember Zhu Yujing informed you at that time, I thought you would be able to fly over right away!"

Sima Zhi leaned on the sofa and took a sip of dragon root water: "The dragon's body is not in good condition and it can't fly over. I'm afraid it won't be able to take off during this period!"

The expressions of the other two people changed. Wang Fengshou stood up and said, "Did you enter a vacuum?"

Sima Zhi sighed: "I don't know if I can break through. Even if I finally break through, I don't know how many years it will take."

Tang Senzhi: "Don't yell at me! I didn't expect you to be able to realize the vacuum. Could it be that you have realized that form is emptiness?"

Sima Zhi: "If I'm jealous, I'll just say it. I'm not a monk!"

Wang Fengshou glanced at Tang Senzhi: "We used to dislike him and couldn't beat him, how about we take the opportunity to beat him up now?"

Sima Zhi realized something was wrong and got up and wanted to leave, but with all his magical powers, how could he escape in front of two great masters? At this critical moment, someone rescued him. Someone knocked on the door outside and it was Niu Yiping.

Principal Niu is here to coordinate the academic arrangements during the winter vacation.

In other universities, students go home during winter vacation, but Fesoport University is very special. Most of the thousand freshmen from Wuxingu will not be able to go back. Many of the thousand new students sent from Fengjin Village will also stay in school to celebrate the New Year together.

The arrangement of academic activities of Fisoport University must be coordinated at any time with Yangyuan Valley, Huanxiang Tebang, and Huanxiang Industrial. After all, after graduation, these students will basically find jobs in Huanxiang Industrial or Huanxiang Tebang.

The university's professional settings and course arrangements are all based on the principle of applying what you have learned, focusing on cultivating talents that are needed and can be used here.

Many less developed countries, especially small countries, often face such a dilemma.

Many people realize that backward education limits social development, and concentrate resources on education, especially elite education, in an attempt to improve their situation. However, their country cannot provide enough jobs.

Without the support of the local industrial base, the more high-end education is, the more it helps developed countries cultivate talents, leading to the loss of local intellectual elites. The greater the investment, the greater the losses.

This happens between countries and even within the same country and between different regions.

However, without sufficient talent reserves, corresponding industries cannot be developed. Therefore, the development of any local industry requires two-way guarantees, and investment in corresponding industry scale and talent training need to be carried out simultaneously.

On the other hand, basic education aimed at improving the quality of all people is more important than high-end elite education in one or two universities. The education system of Kilili Kingdom was established under the guidance of Master Ke and followed this principle.

There are also many things that need to be coordinated and synchronized between the University of Fisoport and the local government of Huanxiangte State, the simplest such as off-campus social practice and collective labor.

Principal Niu mainly came to talk about this matter today. By the way, he brought the two latest statistical tables to Sima Zhi, the person in charge of Yangyuan Valley, and the status of Yangyuan Skill training for freshmen and faculty.

As of the end of 2027, there are 2,675 freshmen on campus, 798 of whom have passed the first-level Yangyuan Master assessment, including 306 who have passed the second-level Yangyuan Master assessment, and 19 who have passed the third-level Yangyuan Master assessment.

This data is amazing! The three people opposite were all Dacheng monks and advanced Yuan Yuan Shu masters, and they all understood that this was close to the ideal result.

This is of course not the result of the recent semester. Many of these freshmen began to practice Yangyuan Art two years ago. Some of them were already cultivators of the Three Realms before they came to report, let alone some of them. Entered a Huazhen bank.

While they were in school, they just passed the Yangyuan Skill assessment and obtained the corresponding level certificates.

For example, among the 19 third-level Yuan Yang masters, there is Hua Zhenxing. He also mixed in with the freshmen to take the assessment, and passed all the first, second, and third level assessments smoothly. Student Hua is at this level.

There are currently 3,980 faculty members at the University of Fesoport. At the beginning of the semester, there were 1,215 first-level Yangyuan masters, 673 second-level Yangyuan masters, 186 third-level Yangyuan masters, and 37 fourth-level Yangyuan masters and above.

This number has no statistical significance because everyone is drawn from various units. But another set of data is very interesting. This semester, 419 first-level Yangyuan masters, 208 second-level Yangyuan masters, and 55 third-level Yangyuan masters were added to the faculty.

What's more important is that 16 people have broken through the fourth level to become intermediate Yuan Yuan Shu instructors, and seven original fourth-level Yuan Yuan masters have broken through to the fifth level, but no faculty member has broken through to the Great Success.

This data is also amazing, indicating that the teachers are also making progress, and the overall level of cultivation has reached a higher level. If you don't count the high-end monks, this university is about to catch up with a large sect.

During the winter vacation, teachers and students at Fesoport University had an off-campus collective labor project, which was to build the city wall of Biyue Town. Participants must have at least three levels of cultivation, and a third-level Yuan Yuan master is barely suitable.

Excluding the Spring Festival holiday, they need to complete the one-kilometer-long bidding section within three weeks, which is a unique local "third category project."

Biyue Town, in Huazhenxing's plan, will be the settlement place for immigrants from Wuxin Valley in the future. In fact, during this semester, some Wuxingu tribe members have moved to Huanxiang Tebang sporadically, and they are basically the parents or relatives of the new students.

Of course, these people are not brought here by gourds. There are many ways to send a few people here on a small scale. Hua Zhenxing is building a new neighborhood in Huzhong World this semester and plans to place it in Hiyue Town.

But why does Biyue Town need to build a city wall? This is a design plan provided by the team from Connaught University in the United States. The plan also won the Best Creative Award in the first Huanxiang Habitat Award.

There are several Dongguo Chinese in the university team, and the person in charge is an authentic American, but he is also regarded as an expert in Dongguo culture. They actually designed an Dongguo-style ancient city.

The most eye-catching design of the "ancient city" is the city wall that is almost five kilometers long and five kilometers wide.

The city wall has eleven land gates, three each in the east, south and west, and two in the north. In addition, there is a river running through the city and two water gates.

At the base of the city wall is a park surrounding the city, about 20 meters wide, planted with various flowers, plants and trees, with a trail passing through it, and a moat on the outside. Two water gates are connected to the moat, and eleven land gates are connected to the bridges on the moat.

If it were a real modern urban planning commission, Party A would probably have slapped such a plan back with a scolding. However, when it was displayed at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, visitors thought it was quite creative, and almost all of them voted for it as the Best Creative Award.

This plan was transferred to the relevant design departments of Huanxiang Industrial and Fangguan Development, and was met with a lot of abuse.

For example, Huang Fengye complained, what is wrong with the design team to waste such a large investment and engineering volume on non-practical design and carry out such a large project for a small town?

The design team was clearly just amusing themselves, without thinking about the cost of realizing it, but they posed a difficult problem to Huanxiang Industrial: Should they adopt this plan?

After all, it is the best creative award-winning plan of the first Huanxiang Habitat Award. If it is not adopted at all, it will have many impacts and is not conducive to Huazhenxing’s overall plan. However, if it is constructed according to this plan, it is obviously a big mistake.

In the end, it was Hua Zhenxing who made the decision as Feng Zibin - Xiu! At the same time, Huanxiang Industrial also held an internal creative solicitation activity. How to build this city wall?

The original function of the city wall was defense, but in modern warfare, this meaning is no longer necessary. What else can be done?

The final construction plan adopted was provided by Li Xiaoyang, director of the Jili State Supply and Marketing Cooperative and Huanxiang Tebang Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Li Xiaoyang is a disciple of Uncle Mo and an industrialist. He once opened the earliest straw sandal workshop and store in Fesoport, as well as a repair shop, which was also the early stronghold of the Straw Sandals Gang.

After the establishment of Huanxiang Industrial, Li Xiaoyang, Lei Dajin, Li Jingzhi, and Tang Senzhi were known as the Four King Kongs, and they all served as vice presidents.

Li Xiaoyang provided very simple hand-drawn sketches, mainly cross-sections of the city wall. In his plan, the city wall was eleven meters high, more than twelve meters battlemented, seven meters wide on the outside, hollow inside, and divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower.

Each floor is actually a large corridor with a clear height of 3.5 meters and a clear width of 6 meters.

Have you ever seen a city wall with windows? The city wall of Biyue Town has windows, none facing outside the city, but those facing inside the city, there is one every few meters, and there are three rows. Looking from inside the city, isn't it just a three-story building with no edges visible?

But looking from outside the city, it is the city wall with a pheasant saucer!

The city wall not only has windows, but also has stairwells going up and down every few hundred meters and doors opening into the city.

That is not a city gate, but a door that leads from the city into the city wall. You can go from the stairwell to each floor and to the top of the city wall. There are even elevators, ramps, and restrooms designed.

After receiving the plan, Huazhenxing called Li Xiaoyang and asked: "Your plan is interesting. It builds a 20-kilometer-long pedestrian street with three floors!"

Li Xiaoyang smiled and said: "It's not three floors, it's four floors, three floors indoors, one floor outdoors, and the top of the city wall is also equivalent to a pedestrian street.

The width is all six meters. When encountering a city gate, the first and second floors are disconnected, but the third and fourth floors are still fully connected, which is equivalent to a gate bridge. "

Hua Zhenxing: "Let's not talk about these details. You propose to build three 20-kilometer-long indoor passages. What exactly do you want to use them for? It is definitely not suitable for housing. Can I let everyone in the city live within the city walls?"

And I see that what you designed is just a big passage, with no partitions in the middle except the city gate! "

Li Xiaoyang: "Isn't it wide enough? In fact, it can be wider. For example, the clear width of the passage inside the wall is eight meters, but I think six meters is enough. The four meters on the side near the inner window for walking, and the four meters on the side near the outer wall. Set up stalls within two meters.”

Hua Zhenxing: "Set stalls? Are you setting up a free market in the city wall? How many stalls can be set up for 60 kilometers? If you include the top of the wall, it will be 80 kilometers!"

Li Xiaoyang: "There are no stalls on the top of the wall, just walking. There is no need to fill the inside of the wall. It counts as much as possible. Such a big space is probably enough, right?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Who will set up stalls and who will go shopping? According to the plan, Biyue Town will only be filled with hundreds of thousands of people in the future, and the floating population will not exceed 300,000 at most! We need such a large roadside A free market?"

"Of course, it's not just the residents of Biyue Town, but also the monks from Jili Kingdom, Huanxiangte State and even the whole world, including all Yangyuan Masters." Li Xiaoyang's words made Hua Zhenxing stunned for a few seconds, and he suddenly Understand the other person's thinking.

"Tell me carefully!"

Li Xiaoyang: "You know, I am not a child in the village..."

Hua Zhenxing: "Tell me the important point!"

Li Xiaoyang: "I'm talking about the important point, please don't interrupt me. I grew up in a small town. There is a large open space in our town, which is also the market of eight towns in ten miles.

The most exciting thing when I was a child was going to the market. All the folks came to my town to go to the market. In my concept, going to the market is to celebrate the festival, and celebrating the festival is to go to the market.

There is everything for sale in the market, and there are all kinds of good things that you can’t usually see. I also made a lot of pocket money at the market. I have been good at bamboo weaving since I was a child, especially for the market in the first month. I can weave a complete set of lanterns with the twelve zodiac signs..."

Hua Zhenxing: "I also know that you claim to be the chief bamboo weaving master of Jili Kingdom, and you were once awarded the title of 'The Best Weaver in the New Alliance' by everyone at the wine table, but there is no need to go into details."

Li Xiaoyang: "It's a pity that the markets gradually disappeared. Now that I'm back in Dongguo, many places can no longer set up stalls."

Hua Zhenxing: "Xintian Town also has a free market. You can set up stalls as long as you follow the regulations, but I haven't seen you selling bamboo lanterns?"

Li Xiaoyang suddenly asked again: "Director Hua, do you read novels about cultivating immortals?"

Li Xiaoyang has many advantages, such as being prudent, conscientious, and meticulous in doing things, and being able to consider all aspects. However, he has a problem, that is, his thinking is too out-of-the-box, and ordinary people cannot grasp it.

When discussing issues with him, I often get confused. I look here and there, not knowing what he wants to say. I really don’t understand how Uncle Mo could have such a disciple. His temperament is so unlike his old man.

Hua Zhenxing knew Li Xiaoyang's temper very well, so he replied a bit irritably: "Look, not only look, I am also cultivating immortality!"

Li Xiaoyang: "Isn't this a coincidence? Me too! So I want to ask Director Hua, have you ever seen the Xiuxianfang City in the novel?"

Hua Zhenxing: "No, I really haven't seen it before! I only heard that there are stalls at the Zhengyi Sanshan Fair, but it only happens once in sixty years. I didn't catch it last time, and I have to wait until 2051 next time."

Li Xiaoyang: "I have good news here, very good news! We build one ourselves, and we can go shopping whenever we want, buy things when we want to buy them, and sell things when we want to sell things!"

Hua Zhenxing: "Do you want to turn the city wall of Biyue Town into a Xiuxianfang City, or just a street stall?"

Li Xiaoyang: "Director Hua, I don't agree with what you said just now. The best editor in the new alliance is not me. Not counting the three old people, it should be you. For example, your skills in making bamboo magpies, those students will never be able to catch up with them in their lifetime. ah!

I heard that you also like to experience life, then imagine again, if you, a college student, want to work and study, you can make a batch of bamboo magpies and set up a stall in the city wall.

It can be a prepared magic weapon bamboo magpie, or it can be semi-finished products and materials. For example, you can buy the bamboo magpies that are just one step away from the last step and use them as handicrafts, or you can make them into utensils yourself.

It was created by you, Mr. Hua. As soon as you show up at the stall, no one will be able to take advantage of it! "

Hua Zhenxing: "I'm not that free right now, so I'd better wait until you sell lanterns in the first month of the year! I understand what you mean, but how to manage it? For example, how to set up the stalls, and do I need to charge a fee?"

Li Xiaoyang's voice on the phone suddenly became louder: "No charge, of course no charge, the stalls are completely free! Monks from all over the world come here to set up stalls and go shopping, do we still need to charge this stall fee? Even the market management fee Don’t accept them!

I have already thought about the plan. The walking passage is six meters wide, four meters by the window for people to walk in, and two meters by the wall for stalls. Lines are drawn on the ground to indicate locations and numbers, just like in a parking lot.

For example, booth No. 1106 on Dongsan is booth No. 106 on the first kilometer section of the third floor of the East City Wall.

Each stall is two meters wide and five meters long, with a total area of ​​ten square meters. Does it feel like a long and thin strip? That's right, even if you set up a street stall next to the roadside, you have to bring your own furoshiki and small bench..."

Hua Zhenxing: "These are easy to handle. What I want to ask about is the management system."

Li Xiaoyang: "Although it is a free market, you cannot set up stalls without authorization. If you want to set up a stall there, you need to make an appointment and register at least one day in advance. We can develop a platform specifically to provide stall users.

The reservation method is also very simple. Open the platform interface and you will see the distribution map of all stalls. After selecting a date, you can see the reserved booths on that day and select a seat among the available booths, just like selecting a seat in a movie theater.

Director Hua, you must have seen a movie when you were in Dongguo. You must have seen how people sell movie tickets..."

Hua Zhenxing: "Of course I know, but this is not selling movie tickets. Since you just mentioned Xiuxianfang City, who is qualified to set up a stall?"

Li Xiaoyang: “This appointment registration platform has both online websites, apps, mini-programs, etc., as well as offline windows. It needs to be linked to the International Yangyuan Shu Association.

Since ancient times, I have never heard of anyone being able to issue certificates to monks, but we did this job. Is it not difficult for a serious monk or magician to obtain a first-level Yuan Yuan Technique certificate? Several levels of certificates are acceptable, it is just identity authentication.

After passing the identity authentication and making a registration appointment, you can always find a place to set up a stall in such a long city wall. As for what to sell, it depends on your personal performance.

It can be treasures from heaven and earth, magical elixirs from the spiritual field, magic weapons and talismans, or it can be just ordinary things, such as picking a stove and selling roasted sweet potatoes! "

Hua Zhenxing: "For example, you can sell lanterns, little rabbit lanterns?"

Li Xiaoyang: "Why don't you ask me what I want to buy? Actually, I want to buy kidney cakes, fried kidney cakes."

Hua Zhenxing: "Why kidney cake?"

Li Xiaoyang: "Because I'm greedy! When I went to the market when I was a kid, I loved freshly fried kidney pancakes. It's so delicious. It's a pity that I haven't had it in many years."

Hua Zhenxing: "I will let you know in advance when I will make kidney cakes. Now let's get down to business. According to you, who wants to set up a stall and needs to get a certificate?"

No matter which sect, sect or organization you belong to, if you want to be qualified to set up a stall, you must send at least one disciple to take the exam for a Yangyuan Master Certificate, or everyone must take the exam as a backup. "

Li Xiaoyang: "Director Hua is indeed Director Hua. He saw the key at a glance."

Hua Zhenxing: "This is not the most critical issue! In this kind of free market, the most difficult thing to ensure is that the transactions are fair and the goods are genuine. There is a high possibility that customers will be deceived accidentally."

Li Xiaoyang: "This is why the Xiuxianfang market in the novel does not exist in reality. There is only the Panjiayuan fake market."

Hua Zhenxing: "Don't mention it by name, it's called a flea market."

Li Xiaoyang: "My proposal is that all transactions that occur within the city walls of Biyue Town are subject to supervision. When registering, it will be clearly marked who is the person, at what stall, and what is planned to be sold.

More importantly, to trade in this market, both buyers and sellers must open a platform account designated by Huanxiang Tebang and use the payment tools and payment methods designated by Huanxiang Tebang.

As for the reason, of course it is to ensure transaction security. Every transaction will be recorded to facilitate tracking of complaints. We don’t charge booth fees or market management fees, but if Mr. Hua wants to collect transaction tax, it will be more convenient..."

Hua Zhenxing slapped his thigh: "Do it! Just do it!"
