1679 Andreev's Travels 3
"Of course there are methods, and it's so simple that it's unimaginable..." The group walked forward slowly. The warm and soft sea breeze in the morning breeze brushed across the blocks along the mountains, blowing on people, making people feel extremely energetic.
The older translator paid for his own money to buy a few cups of smoothies with juice. Fresh pineapple, star fruit, orange and sugarcane juice were placed in iron buckets on the street. One dime is cheap and one large cup is affordable. There are many Ryukyu ice making factories. Just add one dime to the juice. Slowly soak the smoothies in the juice, which makes people so happy.
Andrev took a glass of pineapple juice and took a big sip. The fresh fruity aroma was cool and refreshed, and his spirit was immediately revived. "Good thing! I didn't expect that Naha's products were so rich... But what I am most interested in is the problem I just now. How did you solve it in the end?"
The older translator paid the vendor and said without replying, "The solution was actually thought of by the Prime Minister. The problem in the Stair Lane is indeed quite troubled. We found that all systems can alleviate this problem, greatly alleviating it, but it cannot be cured, until the Prime Minister accidentally found out about it..."
"Prime Minister Xiao thought for a moment, took a plan and arranged for his subordinates to prepare. The action began that night... First, the neighbors in the neighborhood acted together and wiped out all the garbage in the corners. Then the bricklayer followed up, eradicated the already polluted wall skin, and replaced the seriously damaged street bricks..."
"In just one night, the side wall was freshly painted, and even the ground on the street was replaced with bluestone bricks... The next morning, several big-nosed foreigners came here with a group of stonemasons and wrapped the wall with curtains for half a month..."
"Guess what they did?" asked the translator.
Andrev shook his head woodenly, and the older translator pointed his hand. Stairs Lane was two hundred meters ahead, so you'd better go and take a look.
The group walked forward quickly, and soon there was a narrow street entrance that only three people were allowed to run parallel on the left side of the main street. This was originally a very ordinary one among countless alleys. There were no shops or warehouses inside, and there were only ordinary residents, mainly middle-class people, quiet and peaceful.
As soon as he entered the street Andlev was shocked. He found that the walls on both sides were completely different from other streets and alleys. Most of the outside were white pink walls, while there were beautiful painted walls.
The entire alley is covered with beautiful ocean views, with the sky, birds, scorching sun and countless islands above it. In the middle of the wall, the long dividing line between the waves and the sky.
Looking down, various swimming fish and marine creatures are presenting in the blue sea. You can see sharks chasing prey, you can also see groups of swordfish, lonely turtles flying freely in the sea, and the crabs in the corner are majestic and domineering.
This is definitely not a graffiti for ordinary children. On the surface, Andlev looked like a rude warrior, but he was from an authentic Tsarist Russian family, and his aristocratic education was very strict since childhood.
He has the ability to appreciate art works such as paintings, sculptures, etc., and this realistic painting method in front of him is definitely not something that Asian painters can accomplish. There must be many contributions from European painters in the gallery of this painting.
Going further inside, the ocean themes are more colorful, and the documentary style quickly changes to mythological color. However, the materials here are all Asian marine mythological stories, such as Jingwei’s sea reclamation, clam girl, pearl picker, sea girl, shrimp soldier, crab general and even the dragon king who travels through clouds and rain...
After walking for more than 150 meters, several translators pointed with their hands, "The garbage dump in front is the original one..." Andlev was stunned when he looked closely. There was no garbage dump here, and the entire side wall was filled with reliefs.
Andrev couldn't understand the subject matter at all. The marble statue was embedded on the wall. The picture of the whole wall told a story. It seemed like a group of people were fighting, someone was flying in the sky, the dragon king was walking in the clouds and raining in the clouds, and it seemed that there were monk temples and other things.
"This relief mural is based on the Chinese favorite story of the Chinese playing in the water and playing in Jinshan. The battle between White Snake and Fahai. You may not understand this story, but you cannot deny that this mural is so beautiful!"
At this moment Andrev already understood, "I understand, is it the truth you said at the beginning, using the environment to subtly change people's hearts?"
"Yes, the Prime Minister said that since so many people urinate everywhere in that corner and throw garbage, this means that the environment will give people a subtle influence. People must feel that there is a garbage dump wherever they are, so they will do such a move!"
"Do you want to turn people's hearts around? Then change the environment first and turn the garbage dump into a beautiful scenery that everyone cherishes. Do you see if anyone is willing to destroy it?"
"We Chinese have hired many European sculptors and artists. They have no problem solving a small alley for our sculptures and paintings. Since it has become a clean art hall, we don't have to spend more effort. The people around us even spontaneously clean up the place every day..."
"Who doesn't want to let his home live in a scroll? This beautiful long scroll, even if one person accidentally defaces a little, will immediately come to clean and maintain it... People, this is how it is. After living in heaven for a long time, they will not be able to adapt to the pigpen-like life in the past..."
Andrev's heart was like a turbulent river. Think about the muddy and dirty towns of Tsarist Russia, where the feces of humans and animals were mixed with dirt and piled up on the streets, and the carriages had to move along the deep ruts.
It's a little better when it's sunny. Once it encounters rain and snow, the mud will flood the entire horse boots. The entire empire is just Moscow and other big cities, and there are some neat stone roads, but compared with this place, it's still in the sky and underground.
Who doesn't say that his hometown is good, and Andrev is the same, but facts are more eloquent than words, and he cannot question everything in front of him. From this moment on, he was full of curiosity about everything about the Chinese people, and added a bit of mystery to the legendary figure Xiao Letian.
Of course he didn't know that everything he saw and felt was part of Xiao Letian's national soft power display plan. He only knew that this city was no less prosperous than London and Paris. Although it was much smaller in scale, it was definitely the highest level of civilization.
