Original God, I am the only designated Red King God Envoy of Xumi

Gler was obviously old and his pace was not fast, so Yi also slowed down. In the short walk to the reception room, Gler greeted at least 7 or 8 people of the Sand.

Such a life in the desert made Geller feel unbelievable from the bottom of his heart. The sand people living here had smiles on their faces and hope for the future in their eyes. This was the most valuable thing. Geller's curiosity about this messenger of God became even greater.

Neither of them spoke along the way. After Yi opened the door of the reception room, Gler walked in.

What appeared before Gle was a being much younger than he had imagined - he had thought that this so-called Red King's messenger would be a highly respected old man, or a reclusive scholar with eyes full of wisdom, but he never expected him to look like this.

But... the light in the eyes, the aura radiating from the inside out, cannot be faked.

"Oh~ Is this the scholar from the Institute of Religious Affairs' expedition team? He seems more like a kind and amiable old grandfather than a scholar." When Aji saw the expedition team finally arrived, he flew from Amber's shoulder, flew around Gle, and observed Gle's appearance.

"Aji, don't be rude to the guests." There was a hint of blame in Amber's words, but there was a test in her eyes. This was something the two of them had agreed on, to test each other's attitude with a slight offense.

"Hahaha, it's okay. In fact, many people in the Academy of Education think so. It's also good this way. The students will naturally be closer to me." Geller smiled, as if he really had no ulterior motives. He slowly pulled out a chair and sat down. Aji took the opportunity to pick up the teapot beside him and poured tea for Geller.

"I think you are the legendary messenger of God, and this one..." Gler looked at Aji's appearance, looking for the corresponding information in his mind, and finally came up with the answer.

"It should be the legendary, follower of the Flower God, the magical being called 'Zhenling'."

"Hmm...Hmm..." Ah Ji didn't expect that her true nature could be seen through so quickly. She looked at Amber, who just responded with a decent smile.

"As expected of a renowned instructor in the Order, you are truly knowledgeable and talented."

"No, no, it's just that I traveled more and saw more when I was young. To study, you can't just study blindly, you also have to travel more, so that you can integrate the knowledge you have learned." Geller said his feelings, and there was a hint of nostalgia in his tone, as if he was thinking of his past.

"It seems that the stories you experienced when you were young are also very wonderful." Amber picked up the tea, and Gler also picked it up when he saw her. They both drank some tea to moisten their throats.

This also indicates that the casual conversation is over and it is time to get down to business.

"I wonder what you are planning to investigate this time, old man?" Amber tapped the table with her fingers, her expression still gentle. Seeing that they had started talking about serious business, Aji sat aside and acted as a quiet background.

"Among the members of the expedition team, one is from the Miaolun Sect, the tall scholar. He is very interested in the architecture of the Chi Nian clan."

"And the scholar with glasses is from the School of Life Theory. He is very curious about your method of transforming the desert into an oasis and wants to write a thesis on it for his graduation."

"The remaining two female scholars are from the Yinlun School. Their main purpose is to observe and record the lives and customs of the Sand People of the Chi Nian Clan."

"And that Jet...his goal should be the legends of you, Lord God's Messenger. He is very curious about who could have done such a thing."

"Haha, personally, I want to examine the 'basic education' system that you have established. I, an old man, am really curious about this." Geller stroked his beard without hiding anything, which showed his sincerity.

"In that case, there will be no problem." After confirming the goal of the expedition team, Amber weighed the pros and cons and tentatively agreed.

"But when it comes to the 'core', I won't reveal anything. However, if you find the answer through your own efforts, then I won't interfere." Amber immediately set the rules, and Gler readily agreed.

It is unrealistic to expect the other party to directly disclose the core, and Gler naturally does not have such an idea.

"Well, on behalf of the Chi Nian clan, I welcome everyone here."

……

Gler and Amber discussed for a long time and finalized the details one by one. The entire investigation will last for a week and will be carried out under the supervision of the Chi Nian clan. The scope is limited to the Chi Nian clan's base. During this period, the food, accommodation and safety of the expedition team will be guaranteed by the Chi Nian clan, and for this, the expedition team needs to pay 30 Mora.

"From a personal perspective, I'd like to ask you a question." Geller's voice matched his appearance, being rather slow and drawn-out. "How did you create this basic education system? And what was your reason for establishing it?"

Amber thought for a moment and responded: "I can still answer this question."

"But before that, I'd like to ask you, how much do you know about the basic education system I founded?"

Gler stroked his beard and answered frankly, without concealing anything. "That Falushan once lent me the Chi Nian dictionary you created. I have some understanding of the phonetic symbols called 'Pinyin' in it, and I have also studied the two word-searching methods."

"In my opinion, this is groundbreaking research. If it weren't for the void, it would have triggered an educational revolution, lowering the threshold for ordinary people to pursue wisdom. It is the product of truly practicing the teachings of the Great Compassionate Tree King."

"Then it seems that you already know a lot about it." There was some surprise in Amber's eyes. There were actually scholars who could study it to this extent. She had thought that apart from Falushan, not many people would study this in depth. After all, the convenience of the void was there.

But the Geller in front of her was a little beyond her expectations.

"The Great Compassionate Tree King taught us that 'everyone has the right to pursue wisdom,' but I believe you have witnessed the extent of this reality."

"...Yes." Gle sighed slightly. Amber was right. Even if the Great Compassion Tree King really taught so, due to the development and the fact that the void device was not popular before, scholars among the civilians were naturally a minority.

"——And the people of the sand don't have this lingering feeling at all." Amber put her hands together and stated a fact.

"I believe you've heard many rumors about the Sand People. According to these rumors, they are barbaric and unteachable."

"Indeed, I have heard of it." Gler nodded. He did not express his opinion on this. In fact, before the appearance of this messenger of God, the image of the People of Sand had always been like this, and it has only changed slightly at present.

"You're not wrong about them being barbaric, but it's a fallacy that they're uneducable." Amber pointed out the window.

"You've seen the details. Before the date palm groves were planted, the wind-eroded land was also covered in endless yellow sand. Such scenes can be seen everywhere in the desert. The desert is not as fertile as the forest. The people of the sand have to fight with all their might just to survive."

"If the people of the sand are 'surviving,' then the people of the forest are 'living.' These two words differ by only one letter, but they are worlds apart."

“When the most basic needs are not met, all other moral principles are useless, and no one will have the energy to pursue wisdom.”

"It's true that the Sand People are barbaric, but they don't want to live like this. It's just that they are in the desert and have no way to..."

"You must have seen the sand wall, right?" Amber looked at Gle, and Gle nodded when he heard it.

"Of course I have. It was built by the Great Compassion Tree King to protect her people."

"Yes, but do you know what a sand wall means to a Sand People?"

"..." Gler seemed to understand something after listening to Amber's words.

"—It's the Wall of Sighs that keeps the Sand People out. It's just a barrier against sand, but the difference between the two sides is so great. One side is a lush rainforest that's like heaven, while the other side is a barren desert that's like hell."

"What injustice will the Sand People witness?" Amber held up a finger. "I'm not complaining to you, but I'm telling you the root of the problem between the Sand People and the Forest People."

"One of the cruelest things in the world is giving someone deep in darkness a beam of light, only to have them watch, watching the prosperity of the light source, knowing full well that it has nothing to do with them. With such a gap, how could the people of the sand not hate?"

"...I think I understand." Gler sighed deeply. He was able to reach where he is today because of his strength. It only took him a moment to grasp the root of the problem. He had never thought about this before when he lived in the rainforest.

Given such a cruel gap, it is not difficult to understand why the people of the sand would believe in a long-dead god and hate the people of the forest.

Such hatred is generally not strong, and the problem will be solved when life really gets better. This can be seen from the fact that many members of the Chi Nian clan expressed their welcome to them when they came here as people of the forest.

Admittedly, this was due to the order from God, but obviously not entirely.

"If we allow it to continue, the bitter fruit will eventually be borne by the people of the entire Xumi. By then, both the desert and the forest will be severely damaged." Amber narrated calmly, but Gler subconsciously felt a little fear.

As the messenger said, considering the situation when Amber did not take any action, it is entirely possible.

He didn't expect... that such a huge bomb was buried right under his feet - buried right under the feet of every Xumi person.

"Your perspective on the problem is very interesting. You see the root of the problem at a glance. It's admirable." Gler's tone no longer sounded like he was talking to a young man, but rather like he was talking to a wise man.

The leader's perspective on the problem was so novel, and this was the first time he had heard this answer. He was quite surprised by Amber's knowledge.

"This is exactly how I develop education. In the long run, if the people of the Sand want to live a good life, they must connect with 'civilization'. This requires sufficient resources as the soil, which I have already begun to create."

"Then what follows is the sowing of what is known as 'wisdom.' This new generation, bearing this knowledge, will be the bridge connecting the people of the Sand with civilization. They will be the guides of the new era, truly leading the people of the Sand in a new direction."

"——And my goal is to lay a solid foundation for them."

"..." Gler widened his eyes slightly. What kind of existence was this in front of him? He thought the rumors were exaggerated, but he didn't expect that what he saw with his own eyes and heard with his own ears was even more shocking than the rumors.

The existence before her understood the root of the contradiction and found a way to solve it. On this basis, she also knew the limits of her abilities and was only focused on laying the foundation. She did not care about fame or success. Everything she did was just for the desert to truly change and for the people of the sand to live a truly good life.

Geller didn't know what words could describe the person in front of him. She was truly like a legend, which gave Geller a huge shock.

Chapter 62: Investigation in Progress

"Wonderful... Really wonderful!" In the Chi Nian clan, the bespectacled scholar got up early after getting permission to conduct an investigation and made special observations in various places. Thanks to his usual hard work in studying, his knowledge came in handy at this time. He already had some ideas about how to transform the sand into soil.

The date palm is an amazing tree. It is very drought-resistant and its roots can grow very deep, firmly "grasping" the surrounding sand. Caragana has similar properties, which is probably why these plants are widely planted.

Where there are mature date palms, the sand feels different when you step on it. If there is soft yellow sand in other places, then the sand near the date palms will feel much harder. This is because the tree roots hold the sand together.

The scholar with glasses is a scholar who specializes in ecological research in the school of life theory. His direct supervisor is very knowledgeable about the desert environment, and he knows very well how soil turns into sand.

"But...how did these date palms grow in such a short time?" The bespectacled scholar couldn't help but wonder. All in all, the desert control operation in this area has been going on for a year and a half at most. It takes at least three to five years for a date palm to grow from a sapling into a full-sized tree. Only a year and a half...so a rough calculation shows that these trees should have grown in six months at most.

"Huh..." The scholar with glasses couldn't help but feel extremely excited. Although he didn't understand the principle, not understanding the principle was better than having no clue at all. If he could figure out the principle, he wouldn't have to worry about his graduation thesis anymore.

Compared with the scholar with glasses, the progress of the other two female scholars was much slower. They thought that the Chi Nian clan would have some folk customs that were in line with their imagination, but they never thought that it was different from what they imagined.

Perhaps it is because in the past, if you want to survive in the desert, you have to try your best. Most of the people of the sand do not care about these trivial things. In the past, they lived for survival, and survival does not require these fancy things that only waste resources.

But now we are transitioning to “life”, will the so-called customs reappear?

The Miaolun school scholar had a very clear purpose. He first rushed towards the market that was under construction.

According to his observation, most buildings in the desert have very thick walls and small windows. This is to minimize the impact of temperature differences on indoor temperature. However, as the environment is gradually improving, these houses may have to be rebuilt in the future.

This can be seen in the market, where a slightly modified architectural style is adopted. The wind-eroded land here is mostly narrow and long passages. The open space next to the Chi Nian clan used to build the market is also a similar terrain, but it is wider.

Therefore, the entire market chose to build future stores on both sides, while leaving a wide enough road in the middle for traffic and stalls, which is a very reasonable plan.

The scholar was amazed by the construction method used by the Chinanian clan. All they had to do was pour the mixed mud called "concrete" into a mold, flatten it, and wait for it to solidify into bricks under the scorching sun. Then a concrete brick was completed.

Probably in order to ensure rapid solidification, some holes are drilled in the center of the concrete bricks while ensuring sufficient strength, which also saves a lot of materials.

The Miaolun school scholar helped to make the concrete in exchange for being able to observe how the concrete was made. He felt extremely excited for a moment.

Others might not quite understand what this thing represents, but he knows it all too well! This is what he was most concerned about in the rumors before. He thought the rumors were exaggerated, but he never thought that when he really got here, this method was completely beyond his imagination.

In the country called Liyue, the technology of firing bricks and porcelain is very advanced. This is due to Liyue having the best soil and stone resources among the seven countries. Scholars of the Miaolun School have previously studied Liyue's bricks and tiles. They are made by mixing soil materials to make brick blanks and then putting them into a large furnace called a "kiln" for high-temperature calcination. The disadvantage is that the initial construction of the kiln is not easy and requires a lot of fuel consumption, which is not very suitable for environments with high moisture such as rainforests.

But the advantages are also obvious. After construction is completed, bricks can be fired in batches very quickly. It is these bricks and tiles that have created the most prosperous Liyue Port.

And now... what appeared before his eyes was another building material that he believed had the same potential. This material called "concrete" was different from any current material.

Simply--awesome!

The scholars of the Miaolun School threw themselves into the construction site and worked enthusiastically. Every member of the Sand People present gave their sincere approval to their efforts.

They didn't expect that there were scholars who were not spoiled at all. They used to think that scholars were a group of good-looking but useless paper-made people who had no strength at all. Now their views have changed a little.

Compared to the enthusiastic scholars of the Miaolun School, Gler's side was much quieter. He was sitting in the library, reading those fairy tale books.

Although it was clearly intended for preschoolers, Gler read it with great interest. His attention was not solely on the story itself, but rather on things beyond the story.

The spirit that these fairy tales want to convey is very clear: only by relying on your own hands and your own efforts can you strive for a good life. This obviously confirms the direction that the messenger of God wants to cultivate the next generation.

If a child grows up in such an environment, and usually listens to these fairy tales, and is taught by the teacher through words and deeds, it is likely that in time, the qualities of independence, self-confidence, and self-reliance will be seen in them.

Thinking of this, Gler couldn't help but admire the consideration of the envoy in this regard. No one in Xumi City paid attention to this point. Although it was a city of scholars, it did not carry out standardized moral education, relying solely on precepts and deeds. The Academy of Teachings did arrange education on teachings in the first two years of scholars' studies, but... the fairy tale book in Gler's hand showed him a new form of education.

If the education about the decrees in the House of Decrees is a "prohibition order" for adults, then this fairy tale book is a kind of gentle guidance for children. It not only retains the fun of being a story, but also conveys some teachings in a just right way. As a scholar of epistemology who has been immersed in education for many years, Geller is very clear about the significance of its existence.

Children cannot read books full of teachings. In comparison, the fairy tales written by the messengers of God are very good.

Gler kept stroking his beard and giving affirmation in his heart from time to time. He felt that he needed to bring these books back to Xumi City. The interesting stories could cultivate their interest in reading, and the positive guidance conveyed in them could also invisibly shape their character. It could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

'It's been quite a harvest...' Gler sighed in his heart, and at the same time he couldn't help but believe that this leader was the real "God's Messenger".

——This level of ideological awareness and this level of knowledge reserve are no longer enough to be described by the word "genius".

……

Record 1: Regarding the improvement of sandy soil, the process of converting mud into sand is simply reversed, supplementing the sand with the components that are missing from the soil and supplementing it with vegetation cover to achieve successful treatment. The reason why the efficiency is so high at present is not clear at the moment, but it may be related to the chemicals used.

Based on the current efficiency, it is preliminarily estimated that the treatment of wind-eroded land can be completed in about 4 years. By then, after the ecology has recovered, there will be enough water to participate in the natural cycle. The climate here will change, clouds will appear in patches, and the temperature difference will also be improved.

Note: This is a very smart approach, and probably the only choice at the moment without relying on divine power. Haha, I actually admire this willpower to rely on one's own hands.

Record 2: Regarding wheat cultivation, a soil-cultivation-planting-cultivation cycle was adopted, using accumulated fertilizer and burning wheat straw after wheat harvest to increase soil fertility.

Based on the current specific situation, under this reasonable arrangement, planting two crops of wheat a year will not only not damage the soil fertility, but will improve it little by little.

Note: This is common practice, but the long-term vision of the people who planned this is eye-catching.

Record 3: Regarding the breeding of mushroom beasts and poultry, poultry were initially fed with mushroom beast offspring. Now that grains can be grown, this has gradually shifted to mixed feed, which has further improved the efficiency of poultry breeding.

It is optimistically predicted that once most of the wind-eroded land is rehabilitated, sufficient food self-sufficiency will be achieved, and the demand for eggs and meat will be initially met.

Note: Raising mushroom beasts is a very wise emergency option.

·Record 4: In education, a new phonetic symbol called "Pinyin" standardized pronunciation, and subsequent dictionaries based on these symbols achieved the function of "looking up words". This invention was epoch-making. As long as you carry a dictionary with you, you can easily look up unfamiliar words or words you know the pronunciation but have forgotten how to write, and find out their meaning. It is convenient, efficient and fast.

Those fairy tales are also a new way of education. It is a very wise choice to incorporate some concepts into children's books.

Note: Although I am not interested in basic education, I have to admit that this person does have extremely high "talent".

Record 5: Regarding the construction, a new material was used... If I'm not mistaken, this so-called "concrete" is very similar to the new building material in Fontaine. In terms of efficiency, it is a smart approach.

"...Now, this is a bit boring." Najete put away the record, and his eyes changed from "a little curiosity and desire to explore" to rationality mixed with a bit of fatigue in just a moment.

In just a few hours, he completed the preliminary research, which was much faster than the others in his team. Now, the only thing left was to study the ingredients of the potion, but that was probably just as boring - elemental power and earth veins, this was one of his research directions, and few people could surpass him in this regard.

Najet closed his eyes slightly, and his consciousness went deep into a "confluence area".
