Chapter 1343 Geographic Knowledge
Paying attention to the quality of life has always been a kind of persistence of time travellers. Even during the most difficult period in the early days of time travel, many people would still make a pot of tea for themselves after eating the big pot of rice cooked in an earthen stove.Although Chen Yixin was only 19 years old at that time, he worked hard in Sanya with the adults for nearly a year, and many living habits followed suit at that time.It's just that it was inconvenient to be in the army in the past, but now I have temporarily retired to take up a civilian job. After changing my living environment, I have picked up some of my previous living habits again.
The conditions in Majiapu are naturally inferior to those in Sanya. Although the style of the house is based on the drawings, the internal facilities cannot be copied one by one. For example, the bathroom system that Haihan people are most particular about can only be used in this house. Simplified native version.The complete set of facilities produced in Sanya is still on the way to Shandong by sea.Fortunately, a few servants were hired at home, and Chen Yixin and his wife didn't need to personally do everything, so it wasn't too much trouble.
The most inconvenient thing for Chen Yixin himself is actually the problem of electricity consumption.When Haihan went north to Shandong, he brought not many solar power generation devices, and they were all installed at the headquarters on Zhifu Island. No matter what, they couldn’t reach Chen Yixin’s private house, so he only had a hand generator and two solar power generators here. The accumulator of big box is used as power supply equipment.When he was alone with Ma Yuling in private, he would use his laptop to show her another world—the space before the time travel.
Chen Yixin didn't reveal the secret that the Haihan people came through hundreds of years later, he just told Ma Yuling that in the real homeland of the Haihan people, their civilization is far ahead of the Ming Dynasty today.Now the country established by them, the Haihan people who traveled across the ocean to the South China Sea, is far less than one ten thousandth of the strength of the motherland.But even so, the governance skills they have mastered are enough to build a new powerful country on the coast of the South China Sea.
If it was empty talk, Ma Yuling would not believe such a bragging, but the video data displayed by Chen Yixin through the laptop is enough to convince anyone who has doubts about it.What's more, he didn't just brag about it. The powerful Haihan fleet docked in the harbor of Zhifu Island. Ma Yuling also went to Zhifu Island to live for several days and witnessed this armed fleet from thousands of miles away.Even the Dengzhou navy before the outbreak of the Denglai Rebellion was far smaller than this fleet. What's more, the Dengzhou navy did not have the ability to go thousands of miles away—they didn't even have the ability to go to the Liaodong Peninsula on the opposite side of Bohai Bay. I can't get them back.
Chen Yixin has mentioned to Ma Yuling many times that when Haihan's layout in the northern part of Daming is completed, they can move their family south and settle in the south where the seasons are warm and springlike.There is no need to worry about natural and man-made disasters such as war and famine, and everyone can live a carefree and peaceful life.Of course, as for the specific time, Chen Yixin couldn't give an accurate promise, after all, he didn't know what kind of goals the executive committee wanted to achieve in Northeast Asia before stopping temporarily.
But before that, Chen Yixin had to prepare for these plans in advance.There are hundreds of people in the Ma family, and he certainly can't take care of all of them, but his wife must make good arrangements.In addition to adapting to the Haihan model as soon as possible in terms of living habits, Chen Yixin is also consciously teaching her some geography knowledge, at least to let her know where she will live in the future and how far it is from Shandong.
Chen Yixin put down the purple clay pot in his hand, and said to Ma Yuling: "The homework assigned to you yesterday, let's test the learning results now!"
Ma Yuling nodded, stood up obediently, went to the hanging rack by the wall, hung a scroll on it and unfolded it.This four-foot-square scroll is a map. It depicts the coastal areas of the mainland from the Liaodong Peninsula all the way south to the Indochina Peninsula. The main offshore islands are also described in detail, but there is no place name on it.For people who don't know geography, the zigzagging lines on this picture are completely incomprehensible, but if they are seen by knowledgeable people, they will definitely be surprised. A complete map of the sea and territory of the Ming Dynasty.
This map is naturally from Chen Yixin's masterpiece. He has traveled far and wide in the past few years, and he has already memorized the coastal map of Daming by heart. It is not difficult to draw such a rough map.He deliberately didn't mark the place name on it, so that even if someone accidentally saw it, he wouldn't understand what the hell the picture was, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the Ma family.
Of course, there is another purpose in doing this, that is, after teaching Ma Yuling geography knowledge, you can use this picture to test how much she has memorized.The homework assigned by Chen Yixin to Ma Yuling yesterday was to memorize the coastal place names along the border between Hangzhou Bay and Fuzhou-Guangzhou. Although this task is not difficult, for Ma Yuling who has no foundation in geography, basically she can only rely on rote memorization. It is not an easy task to write down in a short time.
"Which prefecture borders the south of Ningbo Prefecture?" Seeing that Ma Yuling was ready, Chen Yixin began to ask casually.
Ma Yuling looked at the map, seemed to be recalling the approximate location of Ningbo Mansion, and then replied in an uncertain voice, "It's Taizhou Mansion."
"What about the south of Taizhou?" Chen Yixin was noncommittal and continued to ask.
This time Ma Yuling took a longer time to think before answering, "It's Wenzhou Prefecture."
"The guards along the coast of Wenzhou Prefecture, which one is the southernmost guard?" Chen Yixin asked a new question without thinking, and it seemed that Ma Yuling must be asked.
Sure enough, Ma Yuling was stumped by this unexpected question, her crescent eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she couldn't answer for a while.
Chen Yixin smiled slightly and said, "I told you this yesterday."
Ma Yuling said angrily: "Yesterday you said so much, how can you remember it!"
Seeing her acting like a baby, Chen Yixin felt even better, and replied with a smile, "Then I'll say it again, you must never forget that it's Jin Xiangwei."
Chen Yixin didn't expect to train Ma Yuling into a scholar with a map in his head, not to mention that Ma Yuling might never use the military intelligence set up by these coastal guards in his whole life.He just wanted to use this method so that Ma Yuling, in addition to being familiar with geography, could also subtly realize how many troops stationed by the Great Ming Guards that Haihan had surrendered on the way to the north. state routes.
Naturally, this was to make Ma Yuling feel Haihan's strength more deeply, and the roundabout way was adopted to avoid making him feel disgusted as much as possible.However, this tactic was not created by him. In fact, Haihan’s basic education has such an arrangement, using various subjects to show the strength of the country to the educated, so that they can cultivate their identity as a Haihan citizen from an early age. proud attitude.Chen Yixin is determined to train Ma Yuling's ideology to be as consistent as possible with his own, and of course he will make full use of these proven effective educational methods.
After Ma Yuling memorized all the place names along the route from north to south, she would naturally realize that these coastal areas were actually controlled by several Haihan-occupied areas scattered on the coastline of Daming.Although the process of instilling knowledge will be relatively long, the final actual effect is quite good.Although Ma Yuling has automatically obtained Haihan nationality as a relative, Chen Yixin still hopes that after her painstaking education, Ma Yuling can apply for Haihan naturalization on her own.
It is very difficult to achieve this goal, but Chen Yixin regards this as a challenge to himself and Ma Yuling.At the moment when there is no battle to fight, he can only find some programs to entertain himself.Ma Yuling is talented and has a certain cultural background, so she can write down many place names on a map with no markers. She has never traveled far in her life, but now she knows places thousands of miles away. This is not easy.
Chen Yixin occasionally felt that the educational methods he could provide were too simple. If he could take Ma Yuling south to Sanya earlier, he could have arranged for her to enter a higher education institution in Haihan to receive a more systematic education. It's better to grope like this.But after thinking about it, I didn't intend to train Ma Yuling to be a strong woman in her own right. It might not be a good thing to learn too much, so I gradually dismissed this idea.
Ma Yuling didn't know that her husband had so many thoughts. She simply thought that Chen Yixin was just doing what he said, just to "broaden her horizons and increase her knowledge", and the knowledge Chen Yixin imparted was not to her. It's also very fresh, and Chen Yixin also promised to take her to every place on the map in the future, which made her very interested in learning.However, she still can't understand the deep meaning behind Chen Yixin's actions, and she is just learning it purely out of interest.
Before meeting Chen Yixin, the "world" Ma Yuling knew was only Denglai, and most of the time it was limited to Fushan County, and only a few big cities in Daming were known farther away.She never thought that besides Daming, there was a country as powerful as Haihan.According to Chen Yixin's statement, Daming was just an object they were unwilling to use force to invade because of the pride of the same roots and clan.Judging from Haihan's performance in Fushan County, this statement is highly credible, because up to now, Ma Yuling has not seen any government plans to expel these Haihan people.
The two asked and answered, and occasionally stopped to let Chen Yixin give an explanation. Although it was a lecture in name, the young couple had a good time.After Chen Yixin checked his homework, he took a short break, then got up and left home to go back to work.
In the afternoon, people from Zhifu Island came to bring the latest news. The fleet that went north to aid construction had set off from Sanya, and this team also included several officials in charge of trade, civil affairs, and diplomacy.This meant that these mundane affairs that Chen Yixin had been entangled with for a long time could finally be thrown out. When these officials arrived in Shandong, he could return to the army and continue to lead troops.
It's just that the arrival of this news didn't seem to bring Chen Yixin much sense of relief, because at the same time as the work handover, it meant that his living conditions would undergo a huge change.This Majiazhuang must not be able to live anymore, he has to go back to the barracks.Thinking that it has been less than half a year since the house was built, Chen Yixin couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed.This is already the eighth year after crossing, but before that, he never felt "home" to other places other than the barracks, and the yard of Majiazhuang was built by him personally, completely according to his own ideas Although there are still many details that need to be perfected, it can be said that this place made him feel like a home—a feeling that is different from the military camp.
Of course, the most reluctant thing is actually the current family.Although the little lady in the family has a little temper, she is generally considered to be Chen Yixin's appetite, and she is still young, so that Chen Yixin also has a feeling of "nurture" while enjoying the newlywed life.During the past half a year, she got used to the presence of people around her day and night, and Chen Yixin would still feel a little uncomfortable if she had to live in two places suddenly.And he didn't need to try to know that his little lady was extremely clingy, and when he heard the news, he was afraid that he would cry and make a fuss again.
And Ma Yuling's family is really good to Chen Yixin. The father-in-law and brother-in-law are now wholeheartedly seeking refuge in Haihan, and they manage trade and immigration affairs for Haihan with peace of mind.Although the Ma family came from wealthy landowners, their long-term vision is not bad. They have already selected several talented children from the clan, and Chen Yixin has sponsored them to study in Sanya.This can be seen as a long-term investment in talent, and it can also be seen as a performance of declaring allegiance to Haihan. Haihan is definitely happy to see the results.
But Chen Yixin really couldn't give up the army. He had been in the army for eight years and had long been used to the pace of life in the army.If you want to completely break up with the army and choose to quit the army, it will definitely be more uncomfortable than being forced to marry on a blind date.Moreover, Chen Yixin still has many set goals for his military career that he has not achieved. He also wants to become a general in charge like Wang Tom and Qian Tiandun, leading the army to conquer those countries that are unwilling to bow to Haihan.Although Haihan now controls a large territory, as a soldier, he still hopes to continue to expand the territory for this country and keep his name in history through continuous victories.
Starting from Sanya to Shandong, it will take about a month to stop and go on the road.Chen Yixin decided to take care of Ma Yuling as much as possible during this period of time, after all, after returning to the barracks, it was impossible for the two to see each other from time to time.If you want to lead troops out to perform missions, it is normal not to see anyone for ten and a half months or even a few months.
