Even a nerd, even a nerd who wants to be an official and have fun, should have some knowledge of the specifics of life. After experiencing the Wutai poetry case, Su Shi has made some improvements in this regard, compared with other scholars and doctors who are clamoring for the restoration of the well field system of joint farming, but few people really practice it, Su Shi's choice is more realistic.

The appearance of the seedling horse and the keel waterwheel did not have much political significance, nor did it allow Su Shi to surpass Zhang Zai and Ercheng academically, nor did it raise the grain output by a grade in agriculture. Their meaning, simple and maddening, is to save the operator some effort.

A lot of Su Shi's ingenuity is used to be lazy. He liked to use the reserve soldiers at that time as domestic slaves, and when Wang Anshi raised objections to this, he was very unhappy to write that the family of scholars and doctors after the absence of the soldiers was too bad, and the kitchen was bleak, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a scene that can only appear in a precarious country, and it is not like a scene that should be in a peaceful and prosperous era at all.

In Su Shi's worldview, it seemed that the Northern Song Dynasty at that time had not yet reached the autumn of life and death, and he could still continue to enjoy himself. But after a Wutai poetry case, Su Shi's worldview was reshaped. From the snow house next to the east slope to the new pork practice that was not welcomed at that time, Su Shi began to pay attention to those small life trivialities. Until one day, his intelligence is no longer just to help himself be lazy, but to help others to be lazy together, his life has another sublimation.

Soon after Zhuge Liang and Alice left, Su Shi successfully restored the seedling horse and keel waterwheel that he had drummed up back then. Although these two things had disappeared in the tide of party strife, although these two things could no longer meet the needs of modern life, and even on this farm, he did not know a suitable place to demonstrate the use of the horses, but he still felt that what he was doing now was not meaningless. At the very least, it can prove to some of those who have been advocating the restoration of the ancient system which direction of development is the trend of the times.

Not far away, Zhang Zai, one of the famous Confucian scholars of the Northern Song Dynasty, who called for the restoration of the well field system, is trying to restore the well field system according to ancient records. In his previous life, he was one of the few people who had practiced it himself, and in this life, due to the huge fame he had made in his previous life, he successfully found more people to practice the resurrection of the Ida system with him.

However, the progress of their work has not been as rapid as the large number of people. One of the reasons for this is that there is a huge difference between them about the identification of the Ida system. It is generally believed that the so-called well field system is a field with a "well-like zigzag" layout. But some people believe that this layout has been reflected in the word "Tian", according to the very simple characteristics of the ancient people's records, there will be no more "well" in front of the word, but the ancient sages added, then the word "well" must have other meanings. There is nothing wrong with this kind of ancient sages, what is wrong can only be the logic of the doctrine of later generations, which ruled China for thousands of years, and after they were reborn, they did not expect to continue to continue.

Because of the difference in understanding in this regard, Zheng Xuan of the Han Dynasty Society and Jin Que of the Qing Dynasty Society had a big quarrel. The surrounding onlookers were also divided into two factions, attacking and debating each other, and in the end, Zhang Zai was the only one busy cultivating the entire experimental field of the well field system. Everyone else is busy arguing.

Su Shi, who was standing on the edge of this experimental field, just gave his own sneer after seeing this scene. Poor Zhang Zihou's ambition to restore the well field system turned out to be the fuse that triggered the war of words between the two parties, and I don't know what Zhang Zai feels in his heart now.

Contrary to Su Shi's expectations, Zhang Zai's love for the Jingtian system has not been completely extinguished. Su Shi wanted to take advantage of the gap to communicate with him, but he didn't expect to be almost persuaded by him to go with him to engage in some great cause of restoration of the Jingtian system. Su Shi really wanted to ask him, why did he care so much about the well field system. …

Zhang Zai ignored Su Shi's inquiry. Almost his entire mind was immersed in the beautiful yearning for the Ida system. "As long as I have a good harvest of the grain I planted, it will be enough to prove to the lords that we can restore the well field system, and all fields on the farm can be cultivated with the well field system in the future."

When Su Shi heard this, he laughed. Zhang Zai glanced at Su Shi suspiciously and angrily, and asked, "Su Zizhan, what are you laughing at?" ”

Su Shi waved his hand and said, "As long as it is a field, there is the possibility of a bumper harvest." The land has a bumper harvest, that is the credit of the land, it is the result of people's hard work, and it has anything to do with your well field system if you die and add a piece of heaven to take care of it? After saying this, Su Shi remembered that he himself had imagined the beauty of the well field system, and he began to laugh at his former self if he didn't have to vote.

Zhang Zai hadn't turned the corner yet, he said: "There is a bumper harvest in the well field, isn't it the credit of the well field?" He was about to sneer at Su Shi, but when he saw that the other party was looking at him with a mocking gaze, he really couldn't understand where the well field system that the sages had been pursuing was worthy of this guy's ridicule.

Su Shi ignored Zhang Zai's doubts and said to him with a smile: "I heard that after I died in my last life for 800 years, there was a person named Hu Shi, who bluntly suspected that Jingtian's equal-yield system was a utopia in the Warring States Period, something that never existed at all. Do you believe it? ”

"This is too suspicious." Jang Jae's answer came quickly and reasonably. Regarding Hu Shi's statement, many people hold the same view as Zhang Zai.

"And what do you think makes him think it's an ethereal utopia?" Su Shi's question obviously didn't need Zhang Zai to answer, and he quickly gave his own answer, "Because that system is too far away from reality." Whether it is the eight wells or the nine wells, the contradiction that cannot be solved is the greed and laziness in people's hearts. ”

Zhang Zai believes that human beings are born with both good and evil, although the doctrine of his previous life believed that human beings are pure in the embryonic period, and filthy thoughts burrow into human beings at birth, but in any case, he wants new human beings to be born with a sinful side, and knows what Su Shi just said means. No matter how good the external system is, in the face of human greed and laziness, it can only be decayed day by day, and the simple public ownership system does not have enough understanding of human nature from the beginning, so it is doomed to failure.
