Chapter 106: Only when the tide hits the rocks can it create beautiful waves
"Boss, what are you reading?"
Yahiko walked to Kumokawa's desk and looked at the cover of the book curiously. After seeing it clearly, he couldn't help but was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Change, abnormal psychology?"
He understands the meaning of "abnormal", and he also understands the meaning of "psychology".
Doesn't the literal meaning mean the study of human psychology?
But what the hell is "Abnormal Psychology"?
Is it possible that I should still study those books on abnormal psychology?
Yahiko subconsciously turned his head and looked at the books on the bookshelf.
"Psychology and Life", "Life-course Developmental Psychology", "Psychological Counseling and Therapy", "Children's Psychological Development Theory", "Modern Psychology and Educational Statistics"...
He knew the meaning of each word, but he couldn't understand it when put together.
"I haven't heard of this kind of book before."
Konan randomly picked out a book from the bookshelf and flipped through it. The obscure and profound contents made her a little dizzy, and she said distressingly: "It feels so difficult to understand..."
The actions of the two did not interrupt Kumokawa's reading rhythm, and he quickly finished flipping through the book "Abnormal Psychology" in his hand.
He closed it and put it on the table, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes and wrote some explanations in the book.
"Based on the psychological foundation currently laid by Doctors, it is almost understandable if it is written like this."
While gently crossing the title page with his finger, Kumokawa nodded with satisfaction and softly called: "Shiro."
"Cuckoo!"
As if hearing his call, the white pigeon on the bookshelf spread its wings and flew to the table with fluttering wings.
"Oh! What a big pigeon!"
Konan stretched out her hand with a surprised expression, tentatively trying to touch Shiro's head.
The white pigeon also made "coo" sounds a few times, and actually took the initiative to rub her hand.
"Can this pigeon named 'Shiro' understand what I say?"
Konan touched the soft feathers of the white pigeon, a smile appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but relax.
"Really!"
Yahiko on the side was also a little curious and stretched out his hand to touch the pigeon.
But he saw the white pigeon moving its feet and avoiding his palm without looking back.
"You..." Yahiko's eyes suddenly widened, his outstretched arm froze in the air, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Pigeon, you actually despise me?!"
Seeing this, Kumokawa couldn't help but laugh: "You are really annoying to people, Yahiko."
As he spoke, he put the several book manuscripts into the scroll, and then tied the scroll to Shiro's body.
"Are these books written by Brother Kumokawa for that 'psychiatrist'?" Konan blinked and asked curiously.
"..." After pondering for a moment, Kumokawa shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm just a porter."
These professional books on psychology were actually summarized by Kumokawa from the skill called [Psychopharmacology] based on the [Scarecrow] template.
[Scarecrow] Jonathan Crane can develop "fear gas". He himself has extremely high attainments in the fields of psychology, pharmacology and chemistry. He is also a famous university professor who has made great achievements in the field of education.
Although Kumokawa now has a lot of relevant theoretical knowledge in his head, he was not good at the theoretical aspects of psychology before, so to be precise, he just recorded the knowledge.
Of course, in addition to books on psychology and pharmacology, there are also the "three sacred books" in his memory.
——"Barefoot Doctor's Manual", "Militia Military Training Manual", "Friends of Dual-Use Talents".
"Porter..."
Yahiko and Konan glanced at each other in unison, obviously they were half-convinced by Kumokawa's words.
They had figured out City of Dawn thoroughly during this period, but they didn't find anyone who was good at it.
"Huh? This book..." Konan glanced across the bookshelf and happened to see a familiar name.
"Drug Discovery: From the Land of Rain to the Ninja World (Volume 1)", "Physician and Pharmacist's Guide to Medication (Volume 1)", "Rain's Voyage and Trade Diary"...
"Editor-in-Chief, Tsuyu?"
Looking at the name on the cover, Yahiko rubbed his eyes and exclaimed in disbelief: "Uncle Tsuyu can actually write books?"
Hearing this, Kumokawa thought of the old man who was forced to work overtime and scratched his head like crazy, and subconsciously covered his face with his palms to cover his smile.
"Those professional books are relatively difficult to learn." He added with a smile, "So, I also recruited some residents who know skills and prepared to give them some money and food to let them record their skills."
"Whether it's blacksmithing, some medical skills, carpentry, or even cooking."
"Then, find someone to polish it and compile it into a book. The main thing is to make it easy to understand. When there are enough books, we will build a library."
In this world of endless war, knowledge is the most precious thing, but it is also the cheapest.
If you could exchange the things in your head for some life-saving and satiating food, I'm afraid countless people would be willing to give it to you.
Of course, the books inside are not allowed to be taken out, and entry is not allowed without identification.
"Boss." Yahiko scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Why are you doing these things?"
This problem...
Kumokawa glanced at Yahiko, pondered for a moment and then whispered: "Perhaps it is to enlighten the people's wisdom and gather their hearts?"
Whether the people are intelligent or not is the basis for judging progress and backwardness, civilization and barbarism.
Yahiko felt a touch inexplicably.
He felt that the boss was doing something that no one wanted to do, but it was very amazing.
Yahiko also wanted to do something, something equally amazing.
But Kumokawa knows that "people's wisdom" is not something profound and difficult to understand. In fact, everyone has people's wisdom.
The so-called "opening up people's wisdom" actually means to let people see the yearning that has always existed in their hearts.
Therefore, "enlighten people's wisdom" is to use a lamp to illuminate what is originally deep in people's hearts.
Let the mind that has been blinded by lies return to its original state.
After all, backward and ignorant people, even if they get together, are just like an army and a general.
The so-called "inheritance" of the Land of Fire does not only refer to resource ninjutsu, but also to high-level productivity, those civilians who can read and write, and craftsmen with certain skills.
The resources of Sunagakure Village are so scarce, and the supply speed was too slow during the war, not only because of the harsh environment, but also because of low productivity levels.
In order to avoid following Sunagakure's old path in the future, the overall quality of the people must be improved.
The productivity level will also be improved as a result, and the replenishment speed of resources can be increased. When fighting, there is no need to worry about not being able to keep up with supplies.
Therefore, in addition to the plan to build a library, the establishment of a school is also imminent.
"However, the geographical conditions of the Land of Rain may allow the development of industry and commerce, but the most important thing is agriculture..." Kumokawa murmured thoughtfully.
Knock knock!
While Kumokawa was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the three of them looked at each other.
"Please come in."
After Kumokawa answered, the door was pushed open.
"Kumokawa-sama, you... uh!"
A middle-aged man with a tired look walked in. He was about to say something, but he paused after seeing Konan and Yahiko.
"Uncle Aki?"
After seeing the person clearly, Kumokawa raised his eyebrows in surprise and said in a surprised tone: "Are you finally willing to walk out of the room?"
The man who was called "Aki" came back to his senses, his slightly slovenly face showed some embarrassment, and he said with a wry smile: "Isn't this because I want to complete the plan you sent as soon as possible?"
"Besides, if your plan succeeds, it will benefit the entire City of Dawn and the people who don't have enough to eat!"
Aki's tone gradually became more respectful and serious.
After saying that, he took out a document from his arms, walked over and placed it on Kumokawa's table.
——"Phase Construction Plan for Soilless Cultivation and Vegetable Greenhouse Breeding Technology (referred to as: Back Garden Plan)".
"Oh, has it been perfected?"
Kumokawa picked up the document and flipped through it carefully. A smile quickly appeared on his face, and he praised: "There will be no problem this time. Thank you for your hard work during this time, Uncle Aki."
Hearing this, Aki suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, scratched his head somewhat honestly and said: "Lord Kumokawa, I will leave first. There are several residents who need my help to deal with the experimental fields."
"Oh? That really can't be delayed." Kumokawa put down the document and suddenly changed the subject, "But you haven't had much rest recently, right? We just have nothing to do, so let's go and help. "
When these words came out, not only Aki himself, but also Yahiko and Konan were stunned.
Ah? So we are very free?
No, no, the point is, the boss/Brother Kumokawa actually wants to work in the fields?
"What are you looking at? Do you think I can only move my mouth?"
Kumokawa frowned with some dissatisfaction and emphasized: "Only when the tide hits the rocks can it touch the beautiful waves. Only through constant practice can people feel the brilliance of life."
