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, called "Kaqiqi" in the local indigenous language, and now called Longgen Shui in Dongguo.

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 to it.

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 boil the juice from the mashed rhizome, filter it and let it cool. The color is a bit like red wine, and it tastes sweet and sour. It tastes as good as Dongguo's spicy hot pot.

Chilled sour plum soup.

There are countless local indigenous foods, among which 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 been found that it does have 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 special 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 channels of Fiso Port Grocery Store, and at the same time, it is exported in small batches to Roba Alliance and Dongguo.

This product is called Dragon Root Water. The brand has been registered. It is developed by Yangyuan Valley and produced by Huanxiang Industrial. The promotion in Dongguo will be left to the housing management 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 they were talking about what happened in the central living area of ​​Chunrongdan the day before yesterday.

Wang Fengshou: "Tang Caishen, you have planned this, right? Director 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, 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 of time!"

The faces 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 get carried away with 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 that 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, and there happened to be a knock on the door outside. The person who came 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 Fesuogang University is very special. Most of the thousand freshmen from Wuxingu will not be able to go back. Many of the thousand freshmen sent from Yuan Fengjin Village

People will also stay in school to celebrate the New Year together.

The academic activities of the University of Fesoport must be coordinated with Yangyuan Valley, Huanxiang Tebang, and Huanxiang Industrial. After all, after graduation, these students will basically find a job 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 underdeveloped countries, especially small countries, often face such a dilemma.

Many people realize that backward education limits the development of society and concentrate resources on education, especially elite education, in an attempt to improve their situation. However, the 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 loss.

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 Kiri Kingdom was established under the guidance of Kofuzi 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 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 in the school, and 798 people have passed the first-level Yangyuan Master assessment, including 306 people who have passed the second-level Yangyuan Master assessment, and 19 people who have passed the third-level Yangyuan Master assessment.

This data is astonishing! The three people on the opposite side are all Dacheng monks and advanced masters of nourishing energy, and they all understand that this is 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 as early as 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 yuanshi masters, there is Hua Zhenxing. He also participated in the assessment among the freshmen. He successfully passed the first, second, and third level assessments. Hua is at this level.

There are currently 3,980 teaching staff 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 recruited from various units. But another set of data is very interesting. This semester, there are 419 new first-level Yangyuan masters and 208 second-level Yangyuan masters among the faculty.

There are 55 third-level Yuan Yuan masters.

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 astonishing, indicating that the teachers are also improving, and the overall level of cultivation has reached a higher level. If high-end monks are not included, 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 realms 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 Wuxingu immigrants in the future. In fact, during this semester, some Wuxingu people have already moved to Huanxiangtebang sporadically, and they are basically the new students.

Parents or relatives or friends.

Of course, these people are not brought here by gourds. There are many ways to send a few people here on a small scale. Huazhenxing 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 a team from the University of Connecticut in the United States. The plan also won the Best Creative Award at the first Huanxiang Habitat Award.

There are several Eastern Chinese people in the university team, and the person in charge is an authentic American, but he is also regarded as an expert in Eastern culture research. They actually designed an Eastern-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, with various flowers, plants and trees planted and a walking trail passing through it. On the outside is the moat. Two water gates are connected to the moat, and eleven land gates are connected to the moat.

bridge.

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, the visitors thought it was quite creative and almost all presented the best ideas.

The award was given to it.

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

For example, Huang Fengye complained, what is wrong with the design team, wasting such a large investment and engineering volume on non-practical design, and embarking on 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 solution?

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 - repair it! At the same time, Huanxiang Industrial also held an internal creative solicitation activity. How to repair 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 Jiliguo General Supply and Marketing Cooperative and Huanxiang Tebang General 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 a very simple hand-drawn sketch, which was mainly a cross-section 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 on the 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 in Biyue Town has windows. There are no windows facing the outside of the city, but the ones facing the city have one every few meters and there are three rows. Looking from the inside of the city, isn’t it just a long building?

A three-story building with no sides visible?

But looking from outside the city, there 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.

It is not a city gate, but a door that leads from inside 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 but four floors, three floors indoors and one floor outdoors. The top of the city wall is also equivalent to a pedestrian street.

The width is all six meters. Where there is 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 the whole city live in the city wall?"

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 two meters apart.”

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!"
