In the past two days when he arrived at the academy, Lu Mengjun always pestered Chen Ye to tell him, hoping to find out what Chen Ye was doing in the Oiran room, and what did he talk to the Oiran in the Qinglou? Is there a critical step or something?

"I really don't, I just read books" Chen Ye still answered the same way.

Lu Allied Army always had an expression of disbelief on his face, he wrote such a good poem, and he didn't do anything when he went in, just read a book. You are a normal man, you went to the Qinglou and did nothing, who believes.

"I believe Brother Chen, he really didn't do anything." Lu Yong believed in Chen Ye very much.

"Why?" The allied forces of Lu did not understand

"Oiran is not worthy of this poem, I believe that Brother Chen did not write it," Lu Yong said with a smile.

This explanation is unconvincing, and it is strange that Lu Allied Army has not seen the Oiran in the capital, and of course he does not know the beauty expressed in this poem.

"She's going to the capital, she won't be able to see it before" Lu Yong looked at Lu Allied Army like this and shook his head.

The two of them ignored him, each reading a book, Lu Allied Army didn't know when he fell asleep, and he looked satisfied, maybe he would meet with Oiran.

The poem written by Chen Ye became popular and became the signature of the Oiran, and the old bustard took the opportunity to take the Oiran to the capital to select, in case there was a big patron who was packed, the old bustard could earn a lot of money.

Usually he is immersed in reading in the academy, and the master is very lazy to ask Chen Ye, after all, there are so many students in the academy, as long as you don't sleep, you can read if you like to read.

Today, I don't know if the master is on a whim or what's going on, after the lecture ended, the master suddenly asked Chen Ye.

Chen Ye was still reading unconsciously and stabbed Chen Ye, looking at the expressions of his classmates waiting to see the jokes, he roughly knew what was going on.

"Master, I'm too involved in reading, is there anything wrong with Master?" there was a burst of laughter next to him.

The master also knew Chen Ye's situation, and he didn't say anything, and asked directly: "Water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat for people's livelihood reconciliation?" ”

Chen Ye thought for a while: "The ruler is like a ship, and the people are like water, water can not only make the ship sail safely, but also overturn and swallow the ship and sink in the water." It means that if things are used properly, they will be beneficial, and if they are used properly, they will be harmful. ”

"Shang Ke" Master nodded and continued to ask, "What do you think of the current government's policy?" ”

The son of the prime minister is sitting next to him, you ask me about the policy of the current dynasty, is it the wrong person, you should ask Lu Yong. Besides, you said it in such a general way, how can I say it, Chen Ye muttered in his heart.

"Students believe that governing a big country is like cooking small fresh. There is no need for large-scale changes, and at present, it is still necessary to recuperate, develop the economy, and vigorously fight against the army. ”

"What is economic development?" the Master continued.

"It's that the people are rich, businessmen are rich, and the country is rich," Chen Ye explained in layman's terms, afraid that everyone would not understand.

"Nonsense, if I want my Zhongshan Kingdom to unify the Central Plains, I should reduce the number of soldiers and horses, reform with a bold axe, and shock the barbarians." One student stood up and said, and the others chimed in.

"Do you think a large-scale war broke out in the Zhongshan Congress?" The master looked straight at Chen Ye.

"There will be a war within seven years, this battle will determine the national fortune of Zhongshan Kingdom, and this battle will be a decisive battle with the barbarians." Chen Ye said firmly.

"Bastard"

"Nonsense"

"It is also said that in the battle with the barbarians, our army is extremely powerful, and the barbarians have long been too frightened to invade"

Many classmates reprimanded Chen Ye for his crazy words.

Some people are even "nerds, it's stupid to read"

The master signaled Chen Ye not to take it to heart, just asked a question, let Chen Ye sit down, maintain discipline in the classroom, and then disperse after a while.

Lu Yong pulled Chen Ye's sleeve and asked Chen Ye to wait for him.

"Brother Chen, is what you said true?"

"What I predicted, I can't be true"

"I want to know what Brother Chen thinks?" Lu Yong asked curiously

"There is less rain this year," Chen Ye said lightly.

"That's all you need to do?"

"Yes, that's it" Chen Ye said firmly, in fact, the reason is very simple, there is less rain, this is still the southern region, and the northern precipitation area is even less. The barbarians relied on nomadism for their livelihood, pastures decreased, and famine increased. Think about it from another perspective, the barbarians can't survive, and the neighbors drink and eat meat, what will you do?

The decrease in rainfall indicates that there will be a drought for the whole year or several consecutive years, and the climate has changed, and after a long period of drought, there will definitely be a major flood, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

There is no way to tell anyone else about this knowledge, it involves geography and climatology, which is a new knowledge and discipline. The geography of Zhongshan is still seen from the trees. The whole country of Zhongshan is located in a plain, with the sea to the east and south, vast grasslands to the north and west, and mountainous terrain to the southwest, and the threat lies mainly in the north and northwest directions.

Lu Yong knew that what Chen Ye said was right, and he had heard the same thing from his father, but it was still in the stage of prediction when he talked about it, and it was not as accurate and sure as Chen Ye said. After Chen Ye said it, he strengthened this idea, and Lu Yong wrote a letter to the capital to tell his father about the general situation.

After Chen Ye returned home, he saw Zhao Xiao pinching his nose and drinking medicine in a big bowl.

"Xiao'er, are you sick?" Chen Ye asked with concern.

After drinking, Zhao Xiao took a few big mouthfuls of water to get better

"I'm fine, the doctor said I'm weak, I'll recuperate" After speaking, he looked at his stomach.

Chen Ye couldn't figure it out, why was he in such a hurry to have a child, wouldn't it be good to go with the flow?

Smelling the Chinese medicine in the bowl, it smells very bitter.

"Why don't you eat sugar?"

"What is Xianggong sugar" Chen Ye patted his head, I said why I haven't seen sugar for a long time, it turns out that sugar has not been refined yet. There is only one thing, honey, and honey is not available to everyone, and honey is still relatively expensive.

It would be nice to have sugar cane, which can produce a lot of sugar, and as long as you have sugar, you can make a lot of delicious food.

Zheng Xin has made a lot of friends, so you can ask him for some news to see if there is a crop similar to sugarcane in the south.

"Sugarcane, it's long, section by section, it tastes a little sweet" Chen Ye described the shape of sugarcane to Zheng Xin, afraid that Zheng Xin wouldn't know, so he drew a sketch with a pen.

"This is sugar cane? What do you want him to do?" Zheng Xin felt that it was useless to find this thing.

"I'm of great use, you can help me find it."

Zheng Xin directly pulled out the reward, as long as he found this thing, he was rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and many people joined the search.

After looking for several days, it had no effect, Chen Ye was a little frustrated, is there no such crop in this world?

One day, I saw a child gently knocking on the door of the Renyi Society, and saw a big man with a meaty face walking out.

"Big brother, is this what you're looking for" The child closed his eyes and didn't dare to look.

The child was brought to this Chen Ye.

"Little friend, how did you find out" Chen Ye touched the child's head.

"My father brought it to me from Shuzhong, there are a lot of these plants there, and children love to eat them, because they taste very sweet." When the child talked about his father, his face was a little happy, and he was not afraid, and he talked about his father.

"The child did the right thing, I want to reward you, what do you want?"

"I want money, treat my mother" Looking at this child, he is very filial.

Chen Ye arranged for someone to send the little boy home with 100 taels of silver, and asked the child's father where he saw this plant. Sugarcane is still in a state where it has not been discovered, but children are greedy and like to go to the mountains to chop and eat.

Chen Ye specially sent people to Shuzhong to let people plant on a large scale, and collect it according to how much money per mu, in order to improve the enthusiasm for planting, the money was settled in advance.

The seeds of the sugarcane were set aside, and the rest were cut down by the local people, and some people spent money to harvest them, and the local people felt very happy. However, sugarcane cannot be stored for a long time, in order to ensure freshness, Chen Ye asked to bring the soil directly and transport it to Hangzhou day and night.

The local people in Shuzhong were dumbfounded.

"Is this boss a fool?"

"You care about him, as long as you have money to earn"

"That's it, what should I do if they hear you give money?"

"If I give the money, I can marry a daughter-in-law"

Many people went up the mountain to cut sugarcane, and for a time the price of sugarcane was more valuable than ordinary trees, and slowly many people began to find ways to plant, after all, sugarcane is still relatively easy to plant, directly select a section, bury it in the soil, and ensure that the water can be done.
