Chapter 373: Yang Yu's Heart
"Teacher Lao is concerned, and it has been half a month since Yu came back." Yang Yu looked at Zou Yu with clear eyes and replied.
"Your Majesty has come in person, I don't know what your will is?" Fang Xuanling asked.
"I heard that the teacher is coming, and I came here on purpose, mainly because there are two things to tell you." Yang Yan replied with a smile, and then continued: "First of all, I feel that the position of this emperor is not suitable for me to sit in, and I want to abdicate. ”
"This..." Everyone was shocked by the news, and looked at each other, they couldn't imagine that Yang Yu would say such a thing.
"Your Majesty, but someone forced you to come?" For this child, who is also a student and a stepson, Zou Yu is still very concerned, and when he heard him, he couldn't help frowning and asked.
"Don't worry, teacher, no one forced me, this is my own decision! Although I am said to be the grandson of the emperor's grandfather, I don't have that to recover the Great Sui! On the contrary, it is a teacher, who fights in all directions, works hard, and allows the people to live and work in peace and contentment! is the best candidate to be the emperor. Yang Yu waved his hand and looked at Zou Yu seriously and explained.
"The teacher didn't mean to force you to abdicate." Looking at Yang Yu's clear eyes, Zou Yu knew that he was serious, but he still explained.
"I know this, but there are people who can live in this world! The teacher has both ability and political integrity, he is the best candidate, let me be the emperor, I don't know how to deal with political affairs! I have made up my mind about this matter, and the teacher does not need to persuade me anymore. Yang Yu said firmly.
"This..."Zou Yu couldn't help but speak, to be honest, he also knew that it was a matter of time, after all, the people under his command also wanted to go further, and now Yang Yu himself proposed to abdicate, which should be the best ending.
"This matter is so decided, I know that the teacher is pragmatic, so I will no longer ask three times." Yang Yan couldn't help but wave his hand and said firmly.
For Zou Yu, Yang Yu is still very relieved, and how can he hide the matter of his mother's concubine from him? Although abdicated by him? Zen gave Zou Yu a little awkward, but this was also the most suitable choice for him.
First, he believed that Zou Yu would not treat their mother and son badly? Won't cross the river and tear down the bridge? The second is that he feels that he has found his purpose in life.
"The second thing, please ask the teacher to take a look with Yu!" Yang Yu ignored the people who were still thinking about things? As he continued, he led the way out.
How many of them were pruned by the guards outside the gate? A tree without leaves? I'm waiting there.
"Teacher, please see." Yang Yu said with a slightly smug smile.
"It's a mulberry tree! You're pruning the branches, making it grow more luxuriant! Zou Yu stepped forward to observe, and then said to Yang Yan, who was looking forward to it.
"Teacher's discernment! Indeed, I prune fruit trees according to the teacher's proposal? So that the fruit trees don't grow that tall? It does not affect the harvest of hanging fruits, and I think of whether the mulberry tree can be the same. Yang Yan nodded and introduced.
Zou Yu understood what he meant, in the past, the mulberry tree was allowed to grow on its own, and it grew very tall, and it was not convenient to pick mulberry leaves. After mulberry pruning? Shoots will grow in the second year, and the leaves will be more tender? Zou Yu has seen this before, but he hasn't seen a mulberry tree? In addition, there are few silkworm breeders in the north, so I didn't think of this stubble.
"Not bad! That's great! Have you learned to expand your thinking? So have you tried rod insertion? Zou Yu nodded again and again in admiration.
"Of course you tried? It turns out that mulberry trees can use branches as seeds? Plugging the pole to plant, but it takes more than two years of mulberry branches, and the ones that come out of that year cannot be inserted. Being praised by Zou Yu, Yang Yu couldn't help but reply with a smile.
"Hmmm! In this way, it is possible to plant mulberry trees on a large scale, and a large number of silkworms can be raised, and at this point, the people can increase countless incomes! Zou Yu sighed.
"Yes! I have interviewed the people who raise silkworms, and they do not raise much, mainly because there are not enough mulberry leaves, and sometimes a large number of deaths, which makes silk so precious. Yang Yu sighed.
"Silkworms are very squeamish, the leaves they eat must be clean, and there can be no water, so they can be washed and then dried and fed, if they are picked in the morning, there is dew and cannot be fed immediately; If the temperature is too high at noon and you just pick it off, you can't feed it.
Silkworm raising is afraid of silkworm disease, so there must be a special room as a silkworm room, utensils and people, must be guaranteed to be clean and hygienic, before raising silkworms, it must be thoroughly disinfected with lime. When you find a dead silkworm, you have to take it away immediately, and after taking the hands of the dead silkworm, you must wash it before you can feed it. Zou Yu recalled what his mother said when he raised silkworms at home when he was a child, and then explained to Yang Yu.
"The teacher knows so much!" Yang Yu looked at Zou Yu with admiration and exclaimed.
"I'm just talking on paper, I really raise silkworms, and I have to be a silkworm farmer." Zou Yu shook his head and said.
"Leave this matter to me! Mulberry silkworms are integrated, and after they have rich experience, they will be promoted. Yang Yan's eyes widened.
"Human energy is limited, you can provide technology, let others do things, just record it yourself! Experience is the most important thing, and it doesn't have to be done completely personally. Zou Yu said with concern.
"Don't worry, teacher, I understand this!" Yang Yan nodded.
"How's the food going?" Leaving the amazed crowd to watch the mulberry tree, Zou Yu took Yang Yan to the side and asked.
"Although it has been carefully selected and planted, there has been some increase in grain production, but there has not been much progress; Even ordinary grain seeds, with such care, are not indispensable for much production. Yang Yan shook his head in annoyance.
"Seed cultivation is still possible, right?" Zou Yu continued to ask.
Yang Yang wants to research grains that can completely change yields, like fruit grafting, but progress is very slow.
Although the progress was very slow, it was still better than before, so the output of his experimental field would be distributed as food seeds.
Now there are not so many varieties of grain, or the people grow grain, but they just pick it at random and plant it, and the grain cultivated by Yang Cheng is used to make seeds, and it has a certain effect.
At present, the seed production is not sufficient, so it can only be provided to some people, Zou Yu asked Yang Yang to expand the planting area, in order to increase the quality of seeds.
"It's okay, there are 10,000 catties of grain this year, and they have been distributed to the people." Yang Yan replied a little absentmindedly.
"I have asked people to collect grain seeds from all over the country, including domestic grain from Silla, Baekje, and Goguryeo! You can take your time and experiment, after all, it's not rushed. Zou Yu said.
There are subtle differences in grain everywhere, the same wheat and rice, and the goal of the experiment is to plant them together, pollinate them, and breed better varieties.
Cold-tolerant and drought-tolerant wheat, which is the most advanced, is the only one in the Jinyang court, which has begun to grow winter wheat. Let the lack of green and yellow become a thing of the past.
Yang Cheng likes to play with plants very much, especially after learning from Zou Yu for a while, he became obsessed with this means of manipulating the growth of plants, and led people to plant all kinds of vegetables, fruits, and grains.
"Greenhouse planting is best done in a glass house! I have had someone prepare it for you, just outside the city, with ten acres of land. Zou Yu said gently.
Glass is not convenient for long-distance transportation, so he simply came to build a greenhouse, anyway, there is no plastic, the best is glass, which is much more convenient than drafting a shed, and it is more effective, the only drawback is that the cost is too high.
Although the grass shed can also be planted in greenhouses, it needs to be carefully cared for, and the vegetables planted are also yellowed because of insufficient photosynthesis.
"All glass?" Yang Yu asked in surprise.
After engaging in agriculture for so long, although he does not understand photosynthesis, he knows the importance of sunlight, and it is much more convenient to use glass and heat preservation.
"Yes! In the glass greenhouse, turn the ground over first, boil hot water overnight, and let the ground be warmed by water vapor, so that the planting effect is better. Zou Yu reminded.
"Hmmm! Thank you for the teacher's advice, draw me a piece of land at the foot of Helan Mountain! In the future, the experimental base will be built there, and it will be more convenient to have mountains and rivers. Yang Yu said to Zou Yu.
"It's okay, I'll have the waterwheel and canal repaired first. However, the experimental base cannot be only in one place, there must be one in the north, and there must be one in the south in the future, so that more people will be trained, which will not only be easier, but also make faster progress. Zou Yu saw that Yang Yu had indeed changed his identity, and he didn't correct it, so he nodded and agreed.
People are obsessed with things, some are power, some are good food and wine, some are beautiful gambling, and some people choose to work because they love it! These people tend to play high in their respective fields and make achievements that ordinary people can't achieve.
Yang Yu was led onto this road by Zou Yu, and he indulged in it, and now even the palace is overgrown with all kinds of strange grafted plants.
Of course, his main energy is still on all kinds of vegetables, fruits, grains, and the grafting of flowers and trees is also a whim, or to find their habits.
Yang Yu blinked his clear eyes and looked at Zou Yu, until Zou Yu thought his face was spent, and then he said, "Mother concubine, please go to the palace!" You didn't enter the palace for three days when you came back, and she seemed a little angry! ”
"Huh! … Good. Zou Yu, who was a thief, said with a red face, although he knew that this matter could not contain the fire, but he was still a little embarrassed to be looked at like this.
"In fact, as long as the mother concubine is happy, everything is not important." Yang Yu muttered to himself.
This was said to himself, of course Zou Yu knew, and he couldn't help but be moved, and stretched out his hand to put his arm around Yang Yu's shoulder and said, "This person! No matter how hard you try, isn't it just to make life better for yourself and your family? ”
Yang Yu lost his father when he was a child, although Yang Guang's grandfather likes him, but he has not been in Daxing for many years, in the palace, except for his mother and concubine, it can be said that there is no one close to him, palace maids and eunuchs, and ministers, who dare to treat him as a friend.
I have known Zou Yu since he was twelve years old, Zou Yu comes to the soul of the next generation, treats anyone, most of the time is an equal and ordinary mentality, Yang Yu followed him and finally felt a trace of different feelings, plus Zou Yu's care for him, there is a lack of fatherly love in his heart.
"Go ahead! I'll see her later. Zou Yu gently patted Yang Yu on the shoulder and said.
"Hmm!" Yang Yu answered and left, every time Zou Yu handed over something to him, he felt very satisfied, and that kind of full and valued mentality made him very happy.
"Lord Wang! Do you think this is a matter of giving way? Fang Xuanling asked.
"Although Your Majesty is young, he still has his own opinions, so this matter has been decided!" Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Zou Yu nodded.
"The prince is wise!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and saluted in unison.
"Let's all disperse for the time being! King Bin informed Qin Tianjian to choose an auspicious day. Zou Yu rubbed his forehead and said.
At Zou Yu's suggestion, Fang Xuanling's father and son and Li Jing stayed.
"Fang Gong! Master Li! Brother Fang! For a long time, we have been in the name of the Sui Dynasty, governing the locality, the court, and there are many ministers who are interested in the Sui Dynasty, and now they have changed their ways! Will it cause dissatisfaction? Zou Yu tapped lightly on the table, thought for a moment and asked.
"If it was before, there must be people who are dissatisfied, but now the officials in Jinyang have long been impacted by the ever-changing things, how can they still remember the original life, maybe they will miss it, but they will definitely not be dissatisfied." Fang Yanqian touched his beard, and then said very seriously.
"There is no need to worry in the army, no one will object." Li Jing followed and said.
"Only newcomers, you need to pay attention, during this time, it is best to take them to visit Jinyang, and the opening is not too confidential to show them, and take care of them as soon as possible." Fang Xuanling reminded.
"Hmmm! It's not a big deal. Zou Yu thought for a while and said, whether it is the person from Luoyang or Liang Shidu, they no longer belong to the Sui Dynasty, and now that they have changed their doors again, they must not have any burden in their hearts.
"Has the prince ever thought about moving the capital?" Fang Xuanling asked.
"You mean Luoyang?" Zou Yu asked rhetorically.
"Yes, now there is no threat on the grassland, and the main enemy is still the princes of the Central Plains! Move the capital to Luoyang, and you won't be able to send troops quickly! The most important thing is that Luoyang extends in all directions, and it can go directly to Youzhou from the waterway, which is more convenient for Liaodong to transport materials and send troops! Fang Xuanling explained.
"Luoyang is indeed good, but now the people's livelihood is withering, the people are scarce, if the capital is moved to the past, it is bound to relocate some people! In this way, it will be too much work and money, after all, the people have just stabilized.
There is another point, if the capital is moved to Luoyang, Li Yuan may not be able to swallow it again. Zou Yu thought for a while and said.
"The subordinates are not in favor of moving the capital immediately, at least after the destruction of Liang Shidu! However, it is a matter of time before the capital is moved, and you can prepare first. Li Jing suggested.
"Hmmm! The capital can drive the prosperity of the people, and the foundation of Jinyang has been laid with great difficulty, and it is best to be stable for two years. Zou Yu nodded in agreement.
"The prince is right! It's the subordinates who are in a hurry. Fang Xuanling said with a smile.
"You! This is worried that I want to go to Luoyang! Seeing Fang Xuanling's calm appearance, Zou Yu suddenly understood that this was clearly testing himself.
