"These two piles of rice seeds are from the local area of the backing city, and a bunch of merchants from Nanling. _8w=w=w'.-Why are they all 1,000 grains, but the weight is different? You might say, because there are big and small! ”

"That's right, since there are big and small, why don't we choose seeds that can grow a little bigger and heavier grain?"

After Master Xile finished speaking, he said to Huaiming, who was looking at the master with a look of admiration: "Huaiming go and bring two basins of water, and the water should be the same." ”

After counting the rice seeds just now, Huai Ming thought that the master was going to do some delicate work, and he poured around the yard for a long time before he came in with two pots with as much water in them.

The square table had been cleaned up by Master Joy, and there were only a thousand rice seeds on it that the two of them had numbered.

Huai Ming carefully placed the two basins of water side by side on the square table, and stood beside him with bright eyes, waiting for the master's next slow motion.

Master Joy didn't let a few people wait, and directly threw the two piles of wheat seeds on the table into a basin, "Do you see those floating seeds?" The reason why it can float is just that it is not full enough, or it is mutilated. If these broken seeds are selected before planting crops, will the yield be higher if some good seeds are selected? ”

Tranquility thoughtfully, Du Zhiqian still remembered with his eyes shining, the master is so smart, and the family just uses a dustpan to get out the bad seeds, so you can choose it again like this.

What the Seventh Master said is indeed not wrong, you can learn good things by following the master!

"To choose good seeds is not only this way, the harvest will be blown down in the rainstorm season, how to resist lodging is also a big problem, from the seed, if the long and thick rice ears are not easy to be blown to the yield is not bad specially collected and planted together, after several years of improvement, this batch of rice will not be afraid of being blown down.

When I traveled as a teacher, I saw that rice in some areas of Nanling has three crops a year, if it is planted in Qingzhou, can it be two crops a year? It was bitterly cold in the north, and the grain could not be ripe and had frozen to death, so the teacher once occasionally saw ripe wheat on a high mountain in Lingnan. Born in the mountains, it must be able to tolerate severe cold, but if this wheat is planted in the Northland, will it be possible to harvest a batch of wheat in a few months? ”

"In addition, what if you can choose the ones that can be high yield, waterlogging, drought and insect resistance?"

The Master of Joy gave a few examples and did not continue. >﹏8ｗ=ｗ-ｗ=．· But Jing Jing and Du Xiaoxi and even Du Zhiqian already understood how important what the master said.

Tranquility's sword eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he scolded in his heart, this master said half a word, and he could die if he said it!

Master Xile didn't look at the apprentice's stinky face, and directly turned the topic to the only female apprentice.

"Little Xi'er, have you ever thought about it. Where is the way out for your Du family in the future? ”

Way out?

Before Du Xiaoxi could come up with a reason, Master Xile sighed, "Do you expect your brothers to kill pigs for a lifetime like your father?" And then open a pork chain? Or will your ancestors live on those acres of land in your family for generations? Then you have lived this life in vain! ”

Du Xiaoxi swore that she heard a strong contempt and ridicule from the unscrupulous master's words.

Du Xiaoxi snorted for two seconds, and stubbornly protested: "My brother is studying, and he will be the champion of Xiucai in the future" The more he said, the more he lacked confidence.

Even in modern society, many people in their fifties and sixties are illiterate, let alone in ancient times.

There is no one in ten thousand in the imperial examination.

Every three years, one or two hundred people are selected, not to mention the places that have been booked for a long time, and there are even more who are officials in Enyin. Even if they are lucky enough to pass the exam, ordinary people with no money and no background have not been assigned to remote counties, and they will hardly get ahead in their lives.

Du Xiaoxi was dying and struggling, "Isn't there still a master and a senior brother?" Isn't it, brother? Du Xiaoxi smiled at Tranquility. Senior brother is a golden thigh!

Master Xile smiled when he heard this, and said, "Master and Senior Brother will die!" ”

Tranquility "......" Who the hell is this curse!

Master Xile did not have the slightest consciousness of self-curse, and glanced at Du Zhiqian's face shining with Buddha's light: "Today, as a teacher, I will point you to a broad road!" ”

"Have you tasted the sweetness of rice and fish farming? Just go back and do what the teacher said, and think of some ways to increase production in the future, and wait for the grain production to go up, and the emperor will definitely reward him. Bar_w'w-w=.-Even if it is a name, it is enough for future generations to use for hundreds of years. Master Joy glanced at the big apprentice next to him. There is a sentence that does not say, the descendants of Sage Confucius have not been offered by the emperors of the past dynasties by virtue of the name of a good ancestor!

These words of Master Xile are not so much talking to Du Xiaoxi, but rather a disguised reminder of Tranquility and Du Zhiqian.

The goal was achieved, and Shi Shiran, the joyful master who amazed the lives of the apprentices, left.

……

Since the sudden explosion of teaching. The Master of Joy regained his former lazy nature. A few educated people were left with the sequelae of Yan zhòng.

Liu Yao is the least affected, to put it mildly, this baby has been pampered at home since he was a child, and he eats and drinks every day Grandma and sister accompany him to play, and after arriving at Du's house, he is much more sensible, and Du's father did not drive him to work in the field. The baby who is not worried about food and clothing naturally can't understand how important the master's words are.

Huai Ming was deeply overwhelmed by his master's erudition! I thought that this little nanny disciple knew enough about the master, but I didn't expect the master to always surprise the little monk.

Du Zhiqian got the will of the elders to steal the master, and after writing down every sentence of the master, he took out the small book from time to time to taste it.

Wu can kill pigs and go to the ground, and Du Zhiqian, who can bite and chew words, understands what kind of path the master has formulated for his family. The slightly worn out book in his arms seems to have become a treasure, and he is excited every day to go back to Shanshui County immediately.

Du Xiaoxi is okay, in the first few days, he bit the brush and wondered what he could do to increase grain production, and now he gave up decisively after dealing with the most crops in his previous life was hawthorn. For such a great thing, please ask Master to come!

Tranquility closed the door, not knowing what to calculate. On the contrary, the quiet personal servant Qian Deshen mysteriously ran out many times, not knowing what to do.

Master Xile took a few apprentices to stay in the backing city for three days, and then beckoned Liu Erye, who had finished his work, to hurry away.

The group went straight to Qingzhou Mansion.

Qingzhou Mansion is where Qingzhou Mansion is located, and Liu Ziping, the eldest lord of the Liu family, is currently serving as the Yin of Qingzhou Mansion. Due to his busy business, the last time the eldest man of the Liu family returned home was more than two years ago. That is, after taking office as the Yin of Qingzhou Mansion, Second Master Liu was able to visit his brother from time to time.

Liu Ziping is a failure in the eyes of the world, because people in their forties do not have a son, but they have more than ten daughters. also because of this great importance to Liu Yao, the only nephew, this time I knew that my younger brother had brought my son and Master Xile to Beijing, and what I said also asked my younger brother to take his nephew to go to the house to have a look.

Everyone got off the boat at Cangzhou Wharf and changed to a carriage, and quickly entered Qingzhou Mansion under the reception of Uncle Wu, the official of the person sent by Master Liu.

Qingzhou Mansion is not located along the North-South Grand Canal, but it is also a transportation hub on North-South Route 6. Although Qingchuan City and the backing city have been flying out of the North-South Grand Canal in recent years, Qingchuan City has become Qingzhou's position economically, but Qingzhou Mansion still firmly grasps the position of Qingzhou Mansion by virtue of its political advantages.

The group went straight to the capital city of Qingzhou and walked through the lively main street. The carriage entered a much quieter street. Du Xiaoxi lifted the curtain and saw that there were all high courtyard walls, and occasionally there were a few tall courtyard gates guarding slaves, so he knew that this area should be inhabited by the rich.

"Master, second master, young master, I'm home!" Uncle Wu stood outside the car door and respectfully looked at the few people in the car.

Huaiming lifted the curtain, jumped out of the car, recited the Buddha to Uncle Wu, and then stepped forward to help the master get out of the car. Tranquility then waved his sleeves and glanced at the gate of the Yin Mansion, and then Du Zhiqian helped get Liu Yao and his sister out of the car together.

There was a middle-aged couple standing at the gate with a smile, and behind them was a group of little girls with flowers.

Master Liu Zi is usually forty-one years old, and his seven-point face is less of a businessman's sleekness, and a little more of the elegance of a literati after the vicissitudes of life.

Although Liu Ziping was born in the imperial examination, but the career of a young man with an inconspicuous background was not smooth, and he had been placed in a small place in the north before, and with the relationship between the Liu family and Master Xile, Liu Ziping was also more or less affected. Over the years, he has been rising all the way, and last year he was transferred back to Qingzhou to become the governor of Qingzhou. It is because Lord Liu has great respect for Master Joy.

"The master came from afar, and he missed the welcome!" Liu Ziping bowed respectfully to Master Joy.

Master Xile stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "Lord Liu is how much we are bothered. ”

Master Liu was greeting the master and his younger brother, and Mrs. Liu was hugging Liu Yao and Du Xiaoxi.

Mrs. Liu Jing Yulan has a goose egg face with two small dimples, her fair skin adds a lot of points to her delicate facial features, and her body is plump but not bloated.

Du Xiaoxi looked at the hand on his arm with bright eyes, not like the common slender jade hand with distinct bones, but the fingers were white and cute, and the short nails were shears with a healthy luster. A few fleshy sockets on the back of the hand that are faint with the movement attract people to want to poke it. This is simply the softest hand I have ever seen. I really want to pinch it to see if it's as weak as I imagined, if it is boneless, swollen and broken!

Mrs. Liu didn't know that her future nephew and daughter-in-law, who met for the first time, had already thought about pinching her hand again.

Mrs. Liu looked at the two of them with a smile, gently touched Liu Yao's face with a little baby fat, and said softly: "Xiaotu still remembers the uncle?" When I went to the Chinese New Year, my aunt took my sisters home to see you. After speaking, he looked at Liu Yao expectantly.

Although I don't remember what my aunt looks like. However, Mrs. Liu often mentioned her eldest son who couldn't return home, and on the way here, her father also said something about the uncle and the aunt, so Liu Yao obediently bowed and said: "Uncle, the little soil is polite." ”

The little boy blushed slightly and leaned over to himself, indescribably handsome and cute, and Mrs. Liu's heart immediately softened. pulled Liu Yao and shouted a few times.

After finishing his nephew, Dr. Liu turned his eyes to look at the others, patted Du Xiaoxi's back and boasted: "I haven't seen Xiaoxi's girl grow a lot taller for a few months, and she is getting more and more cute." ”

Du Xiaoxi has only seen this aunt once, and he almost didn't say anything when he met last time, and at this moment, in the face of the gentle aunt with a pair of beautiful hands who smiled, Du Xiaoxi could only pretend to be a child and said hello to Liu Yao as softly.

After Liu Yao introduced Ning Jing and Du Zhiqian, Mrs. Liu also said a few words of concern to the two gently, and when she saw that her husband had already greeted her, she beckoned a group of little guys to enter the door. (To be continued.) )
