Han Wen said in a timely manner: "This thing can be cooked in a variety of ways, it can be cooked like porridge, it can also be made into corn steamed buns, it can also be roasted, and it can also be eaten raw. ”

The treasury has more such staple food, so why worry about the salary of the nine-sided army.

The endless dry fields of the northern border city are just right for growing corn.

Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed: "I have tasted it with the Queen Mother, this is a rare delicacy, what do you think?" ”

Daming is short of food, more than anything.

One acre can grow two stones of grain, and it does not occupy paddy fields, there is such an artifact in the world.

Li Dongyang lowered his head slightly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it can be promoted." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Han Wen shouted: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

There are many dry lands in the northwest and north, and rice is difficult to adapt to, so there is a drought-tolerant staple food, which is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

Emperor Hongzhi was about to issue an edict and ordered the political secretary to announce it to the world.

Yan Chengjin took a step forward: "Your Majesty, it is good for corn to be promoted all over the world, but the minister thinks that it is necessary to carefully consider such as land, such as black soil or red soil, land that has been planted with mulberry trees, whether corn can be planted again, how to collect taxes, cultivation knowledge, how to popularize, and what should be done if the farmers can't understand the official language." ”

"Yan Qing's family, you don't have to be so cautious." Emperor Hongzhi made a straight face, you guy, when you are thoughtful, the season has passed, "One mu can grow a stone of grain, I will give you a credit." ”

Yan Chengjin's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty might as well wait for a while, give the minister a month, and the minister may be able to increase the yield per mu of corn." ”

Li Dongyang and others looked over.

Hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Half moon." ”

"Obey."

Back to the Metropolitan Inspectorate,

Yan Chengjin wrote down the method of planting corn.

Corn is prone to baldness and threshing.

When planting, it is better to use artificial pollination than natural pollination.

and the most suitable areas for growing corn, and what to do with them after harvest, are also written in the book, printed by the celebrant of ceremonies, and then issued by the chief secretary.

Urea is the best catalytic fertilizer.

Daming's technique can't be done yet, but it can be replaced by urine.

Yan Chengjin silently added another copy of "Chemistry" and put it in the miscellaneous column of the Liangxiang Library.

……

After getting off duty, Yan Chengjin got on a sedan chair and returned home.

On Qianmen Street, I met someone who stopped the sedan chair and seemed to want to petition, "This official does not accept the lawsuit, and if you want to petition, you can go to Shuntianfu to find Lord Liu, he is a good official." ”

"My lord, I'm here to tell you about my dreams!" Xie Pi said loudly.

"The students thought about it for three days, and studying science is to use what they have learned to seek the well-being of all people."

That's it?

I thought about it for three days......

Yan Chengjin remembered that it was Xie Pi's stunned youth.

Listening to Xie Qian, his temperament changed greatly after being hit, and it didn't sound like a fake.

The dream was broken by someone, and this kind of blow is either all thought of being lost, or it is reborn.

Xie Pi is clearly the former.

"The officer asks you, what is the well-being of the people?"

Xie Pi thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Silver? ”

"If you are admitted to the top prize, you can also benefit the people, go back, your father will misunderstand the official." Yan Chengjin asked the sedan chair driver to get up the sedan chair.

Xie Pi was stunned in place, Master Yan didn't comment on whether it was right or wrong, could it be that I answered wrong again?

It was difficult to get a chance, and I answered incorrectly, and I was extremely remorseful.

Dejected, he walked to the house, closed the door, and continued to think, what is the answer?

Xie Qian came back from his duty and asked, "What did Pi'er read today, but is there anything you don't understand?" ”

"Nope."

The son is getting thinner and thinner, his eye sockets are deep, like a dying man, if he continues like this, let alone the imperial examination, I am afraid that his life will be worried.

Xie Qian was distressed.

"Pi'er, what are you thinking, tell Dad, Dad will help you think!"

Xie Pi's eyes emitted a glimmer of brilliance, as if he had come to life: "Dad, what is the dream?" ”

Xie Qian pondered for a moment: "There are many sources of this word, Sima Xiangru of the Han Dynasty said, suddenly sleeping and dreaming, if the king is there, its righteousness is ......"

Xie Pi shook his head, his face darkened.

………

morning

The officials entered the warm pavilion, and before they could speak, Xie Qian took more than a dozen officials and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the ministers begged to ban the science of Liangxiang, and the "Song Tiangong" was handed over to the Ministry of Industry for disposal, and Xie Pi, the son of the minister, went to Liangxiang to study science, and his soul was not guarded all day...... People are going crazy, this learning is harmful! Xie Qian said with a crying voice.

"The same is true for Wang Han, the son of the minister." The Ministry of War gave Wang Kun a way in the matter.

Yan Chengjin was shocked.

Xie Qian's righteousness is obvious, and he regards science as a secret book in the palace and is not allowed to circulate in the market, so how can science be disseminated?

With twelve people begging, old fox.

"I don't think it's possible, there are still many deficiencies in science, and we still need talented talents like Song Jing to continue to seek knowledge and explore the truth of science."

Under the influence of the Four Books and Five Classics, readers do not choose science, but some people naturally like numbers and astronomy.

After the advent of science, there seems to be more people who like to toss.

Yan Chengjin continued: "Placed in the palace and edited by Hanlin, it will only be dusty, Xie Pi loves science so much, Lord Xie is willing to let him learn science?" ”

Xie Qian kept silent, every word he said in front of the emperor, if he didn't pay attention to it, he would be a bully, how dare he say more.

"Wanderers and officials will not have such scruples, not because they are cautious, but because science is really a complicated science."

Emperor Hongzhi hesitated, and suddenly the science of science came out, saying that it was a side-by-side way, but such things as astronomical telescopes and Weiyuan cannons appeared.

"Why does Yan Qing's family stipulate that science studies are not allowed?"

Yan Chengjin has always emphasized that people who study science can't pass the imperial examination, so scared that Xie Qian and Wang Kun don't dare to let their son touch this thing.

"The minister is just kindly reminding that science is a vast science, and he may not have time to take care of the knowledge of the saints."

This is easy to do, Emperor Hongzhi stroked his beard and smiled: "Yan Qing's family doesn't have to worry too much, I also want to be able to use it for the imperial court, let them take the exam." ”

Yan Chengjin's eyes lit up: "Most of the people who study science are homeless people and officials, but the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Xu officials and the children of homeless people are not allowed to respond." ”

Li Dongyang and Liu Jian glanced at each other, revealing vigilance.

This son wants to change again?

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly realized that it was not Yan Chengjin's regulations, but that most of the people who studied science were officials and homeless people, so he mistakenly thought that he should not be cited if he studied science.

Suddenly I was embarrassed.

The official Ma Wensheng bowed: "Your Majesty, you can't abolish the ancestral system!" ”

The hall fell silent.

"Master Ma is right, the children of the officials and the exiles are vulgar and ugly, but there are also amazing people, Emperor Gao is from a humble background, and no one dares to say that he has succeeded in the sciences.

Liu Jian was speechless: "This ......"

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Yan Chengjin, you really want to change again!"

The ministers reacted and fell to their knees.

Xie Qian was in a trance, feeling that he was being used by Yan Chengjin, if he didn't mention science in the court, no one would mention it.

When he mentioned it, it became an introduction.

Could it be that he refused Pi'er......

It's all a play!

Xie Qian thought carefully and was extremely frightened.

It is absolutely impossible, how can anyone in this world be so calculated?

"Yan Chengjin, this guy is even a cheat, and he will settle accounts with him later!"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin, and then at the kneeling minister, the power was in his hands.

A decision will be related to the future prosperity and decline of the Ming Dynasty, and his face became solemn.
