Traveling through the millennium: creating a prosperous dynasty with you

Xu Zhen looked at the group of vigorous young soldiers in front of him, and a smile flashed in his eyes. He knew that these guys trained very hard on weekdays, but knew little about the delicacies of the outside world. So, he decided to give them a surprise.

"Since you don't know what delicious food there is, I'll give you a chance to try a few more. It's still early today, so please have a buffet. I've put the food in the training ground, which has plenty of space. Everyone line up and choose what you like in order!"

The soldiers were overjoyed when they heard the news. Their daily lives were dull and boring, and they rarely had the opportunity to taste so many delicacies. At this moment, their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation.

Soon, the soldiers lined up and walked towards the training ground in an orderly manner. Along the way, they could not hide their excitement and shared their desire for delicious food with each other.

When they walked into the training ground, they were amazed by the scene in front of them. They saw a variety of delicious food on the ground, which was dazzling and fragrant. There were exquisite cakes, fresh fruits, delicious barbecue, and various special snacks. Every dish exuded an attractive fragrance, making people salivate.

The soldiers couldn't wait to pick their favorite food. Some of them took a few pieces of cake, some took a few pieces of barbecue, and some took a bowl of steaming hot soup. Everyone's face was filled with a smile of happiness and satisfaction.

Xu Zhen stood aside and watched all this quietly. He was very pleased to see the soldiers so happy. This buffet was not just a simple meal, but also a show of care and encouragement for the soldiers. He hoped that in this way, the soldiers could feel the warmth of the military family and at the same time enhance their cohesion and sense of belonging.

While enjoying the food, the soldiers did not forget the hardship of training. They all said that they would turn this gratitude into motivation, train harder, improve their military quality, and contribute their own strength to defending the country and protecting the people.

The training ground was filled with laughter and joy. Soldiers were enjoying the delicious food and sharing their happiness. This special buffet also became a wonderful memory in their hearts.

The spectacular scene of more than 100,000 people enjoying a buffet together was amazing. Xu Zhen stared at the satisfied expressions of the soldiers, and his heart was filled with joy. An Chen and others could not help but join in and enjoy this sumptuous buffet feast with many soldiers.

The soldiers enthusiastically recommended the food they thought was delicious to their comrades. He was deeply comforted and moved by the atmosphere of unity, mutual assistance, friendship and harmony.

After the meal, Xu Zhen stepped forward and said loudly to the soldiers: "Today everyone enjoys the delicious food and is happy, but we must not forget the important task we shoulder. Only with strong strength can we protect everything we cherish. In the next training, we must work harder and spare no effort, not only for ourselves, but also for our homeland!"

The soldiers responded in unison, their voices resounding like a bell throughout the vast training ground. Then, they quickly tidied up the ground and prepared to start a new and intense training.

Xu Zhen: "We just finished a meal, it's not suitable for strenuous exercise. Brothers, is there anyone who can read?"

However, among these hundreds of thousands of soldiers, only a few could really read. An Chen and his secret guards had known the term "illiterate" before, but they did not feel how difficult the matter was at the time. It was not until they witnessed this scene with their own eyes that they could not help but feel a variety of complex emotions.

An Chen had browsed relevant information on the computer and learned that the Chinese soldiers not only possessed profound knowledge, but were also the best among many high-end technical talents. He knew that the strength of an army did not depend solely on the number of people or the strength of its military force, but on the accumulation of knowledge and wisdom. At this moment, he made up his mind to open a literacy class and firmly believed that he should start taking action from now and from here.

An Chen turned around, looked at Xu Zhen, and asked, "Zhenzhen, can you show us the military exercise videos?" Xu Zhen immediately understood his intention - to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for learning by showing these videos. She nodded in agreement without hesitation, then took out a huge projection screen from the space she carried with her, took out a projector, and started playing a wonderful clip of the military exercise.

In the picture, the soldiers have strict military discipline, act quickly, and have tacit tactical coordination. The modern weapons and equipment demonstrate powerful power.

The soldiers were deeply shocked, their eyes revealing longing and determination.

An Chen took the opportunity to shout: "Do you want to become such an army?"

Everyone: “I want to”

An Chen: "But this requires you to study hard and master more knowledge and skills. Where do these skills come from? The simplest way is books. From today on, we will open literacy classes to make everyone literate!"

Although the soldiers did not know what literacy classes were, they knew that they were meant to teach them how to read, so they responded with great enthusiasm.

Chen Xu: "I want to set up a literacy class in the army to teach my brothers how to read and write."

Xu Zhen's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he showed an appreciation, "Good idea! However, this literacy class is probably the largest one, with more than 100,000 people. It will require a lot of teachers."

An Chen smiled slightly, "I can select some literate people from my secret guards and let them serve as teachers."

Xu Zhen nodded, "Yeah, that's good. But they still need some teaching materials."

An Chen thought for a moment and said, "I will ask someone to collect some books and materials and compile them into teaching materials suitable for the soldiers to learn." After the two of them discussed it, they decided to immediately start preparing for the literacy class and let Chen Xu lead everyone to study together.

Xu Zhen asked Chen Xu: "How can you teach an entire army of more than 100,000 people by yourself?"

Chen Xu: "Can I use the princess's projector?"

Xu really understood and smiled, saying, "Of course, I can not only leave you some practical teaching materials, but also provide corresponding video explanations. You can distribute the teaching materials in groups, and each group can take one book. Then, after learning, let everyone ask each other questions and explain to each other, so that they can master the knowledge faster. As for the content in the book, you don't need to teach it in person, you can let them learn by watching videos. However, there is a small problem that needs attention. All the teaching materials I provide are in simplified Chinese."

An Chen nodded and responded, "Simplified Chinese is indeed good. Compared with the characters we use, it is easier to write and easier for children to learn. In the future, I plan to fully promote simplified Chinese characters and numbers."

Chen Xu agreed with this. Then, Xu Zhen began to play the Chinese Pinyin video for everyone to watch. When the hundreds of thousands of viewers saw the young children following the teacher to learn those strange-shaped Chinese characters, they couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. After all, what these few-year-old children were learning was something new that they had never come into contact with. No wonder the people at the princess' place were able to use such advanced weapons, it turned out that the knowledge they taught was so powerful!

After just one class, everyone has memorized several letters. The teacher in the video made the letters into lively and interesting nursery rhymes, which made it very easy and convenient for everyone to remember. In just a few minutes, they actually learned several words. Although they were still unfamiliar with the shapes and uses of these words, they remembered them firmly. At this moment, an unprecedented sense of pride came to their hearts, making them full of stronger interest and motivation for learning. It turns out that not only scholars are qualified to read and write, but these so-called rough people can also master the secrets of words through hard work.

Xu Zhen smiled and explained to everyone: "What you have just learned is Chinese Pinyin. The pronunciation of each Chinese character can be marked with these letters. After you have learned these letters, even if you encounter a word you don't know, as long as there is Pinyin above it, you can easily spell it out. When your family members write letters, if there are words they don't know how to write, you can also use Pinyin to mark them. As long as your family members have also learned Pinyin, they will be able to read your letters."

Anjie: "We can treat it as a code word. People who haven't learned it will never be able to guess what it means."

When everyone heard this, they thought it was a good idea indeed. They should study harder, because maybe they could become intelligence experts in the future!

Anjie: "How many words like this are there?"

Xu Zhen: "There are only 26 letters."

People couldn't believe it. "How can only 26 letters represent countless Chinese characters?"

Xu Zhen: "Next, please watch a video about teaching Chinese characters."

In the video, the teacher put his hands together, marked the pinyin, and then taught everyone to read. He wrote a few more words, marked the pinyin and taught everyone to read. After several times of learning, not only did the soldiers realize the magic of pinyin, but An Jie, Chen Xu and the secret guards were also surprised. The same pinyin combination marked with different tones actually became other words, and there are many different words with the same pronunciation. It is easy to guess which word it is based on the meaning before and after. Even if you can't write, just know the meaning!

They suddenly realized that learning Chinese characters is not about memorizing each character individually. After learning pinyin, they can read the characters based on the pinyin as long as there is pinyin marked on the characters, even if they have never seen the characters before.

In just a cup of tea, the soldiers learned a few pinyin and a few Chinese characters. They were ecstatic. It seemed that learning to read was not that difficult. They just didn't have the opportunity to learn. Now, the princess gave them the magic weapon of the gods to help them learn. They must seize this good opportunity to make themselves more powerful.

Xu Zhen took the opportunity to distribute pencils, notebooks and erasers to everyone. This was considered as her support for her husband's career. When her own factory could produce pencils, notebooks and erasers, she would have to pay for them. The army was a big customer.

Xu Zhen: "It's getting late today, everyone should go and do your own things first. I'll ask General Chen to pick up the books tomorrow."

Chen Xu: "Princess, can you give me the loudspeaker on your collar? It's very tiring to use internal energy to speak every time."

Xu Zhen: "Of course, I'm going to install some solar panels for you in the barracks. This projector needs to be charged, and I'll leave you some good TV shows. You can't spend all your time studying and training, so let's watch some TV from time to time to relax."

Chen Xu and his friends had watched Journey to the West, so they knew the allure of TV dramas. It was a good idea to use it to encourage everyone to study. He sincerely thanked the princess! Xu Zhen left them a lot of war movies. There were not only the Romance of the Three Kingdoms with ancient costumes and tactics, but also modern military exercises with modern weapons.

Although the soldiers didn't know what a TV series was, when they saw that General Chen praised it highly, they guessed that it must be something only gods could have. They couldn't wait to watch it, and they were asked to disperse, but they all stood there reluctantly.

An Jie hadn't watched the TV series yet, so he asked the secret guards if they had watched it. Seeing the secret guards nod their heads, he suddenly felt envious and jealous! Anyway, he had nothing to do now, so he wanted to watch it right away, so he said, "Sister-in-law, they have all watched Journey to the West. I heard from my father that it's all over the capital now. I want to watch it, too. Can you show it to us?"

Xu Zhen looked at An Chen, and after he nodded, Xu Zhen took out the card of "Journey to the West" and inserted it into the projector. The monkeys and gods flying in the sky and into the ground in the opening stunned everyone. They said that the princess was a god. Look at this place, there are beautiful mountains, beautiful waters, and beautiful scenery. The gods are flying in the clouds and mist, so happy!

Everyone was stunned, and An Chen pulled Xu Zhen back to the tent. His wife was tired after a day, and he felt sorry for her! Take her back and let her have a good rest!

Tuantuan in the space finished watching a drama, tasted the food he wanted to eat, and felt bored. He asked the owner: "It's so lively outside, baby wants to go out too."

Xu Zhen: "Then you can come out, but I have to go back to rest, you can stay with Chen Jing."

Tuan Tuan was already familiar with Chen Jing, and knowing that she was the master's subordinate, he agreed. When the furry ball suddenly appeared in Chen Jing's arms, she was really scared. After reacting, she hugged him in her arms. She missed him a lot after not seeing him for several days.

Xu Zhen: "You can take him with you tonight. We'll go back first. Since there's nothing else to do, you can watch it here if you want. It's also good to spend more time with your brother. We don't know when we'll see each other again after we leave."

Chen Jing: "Yes, thank you, Princess."
