Chapter 321: The Art of Qi Min (I)

After continuous improvement, the cotton of the Northern Wei Dynasty was very successful, and both the yield and the quality were not inferior to Chen Guo, so that the Northern Wei Dynasty, whether it was the king's ministers or the common people, were very happy.

Whenever the cold winter comes, they have stockpiled enough cotton, and every household has made warm and thick winter clothes.

In this way, several other countries also began to learn to grow cotton, following the example of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Yuwen Di ordered Jia Siqian to write a book and circulate it to several other countries.

Since childhood, Jia Siqian has been very interested in farming and farming, from ploughing fields, fruit trees, flowers and plants, vegetables, raising livestock, and even winemaking and growing condiments, he is very good at it, and has a lot of experience.

So they all compiled their experiences and insights that took many years into a book, called "Qi Min's Technique".

After the compilation was completed, Yu Wendi felt that it was indeed a strange book, comparable to Li Shanchang's "Notes on the Water Classic".

hurriedly asked Yi Wei to hurry up and whip it to Xiao Mingyue to see.

Subsequently, Jia Siqian was arranged to hold important positions in the household department, four official residences, and thousands of hectares of fertile land were rewarded, which were used as experimental fields.

However, Jia Siqian refused to serve in the household department, and said to Yu Wendi in a letter: "The old mother at home is seriously ill and her health is deteriorating, and I want to go back to my hometown to accompany my mother more!" I hope that the master will be gracious!"

Yu Wendi sighed at Jia Sixian's filial piety, so he allowed him to return to his hometown Gaoyang, and gave him the position of Gaoyang Taishou to facilitate him to take care of his elderly and sick mother!

Jia Siqian got the permission of the Taishi, and saw that he was appointed as the Taishou of Gaoyang, and he was very grateful to Yuwendi, so he came to the Taishi's Mansion to thank him.

Inside the study of the Yuwen Mansion.

Jia Siqian kowtowed to Yu Wendi and thanked him: "Thank you to the master for making it perfect, so that the minister can go back to his hometown to take care of his old mother!"

"Get up! Master Ben is grateful for your filial piety, and you are also 60 years old this year! Then your mother should be nearly eighty years old, right?!" Yu Wendi asked Jia Sixian.

Jia Siqian replied with a smile: "Don't hide it from the master, the minister is sixty and three this year, and the minister's mother is ninety years old!"

"Ninety years old? It seems that he is really a blessed person, you go, go back and be your Gaoyang Taishou well, and you must also be filial to your mother! Master Ben will reward you with a few servants, so that they can follow you back and take good care of your old mother!" Yu Wendi said to Jia Siyun.

"Thank you, Master! I don't know when I will be able to see the Taishi again, and I hope that the Taishi will take care of your noble body!"

Thanked Yu Wendi again,

Jia Siqian rushed to Gaoyang's hometown with rewards and servants.

Since then, on the one hand, he has taken care of his old mother wholeheartedly, and on the other hand, he has benefited the people of Gaoyang.

And Yu Wendi feels nostalgic for his father and brother, although he is now in a high position, he is separated from his father and brother.

Then he asked Thursday to arrange, went to the cemetery of his father and brother to pay respects, and gorgeously repaired the surroundings.

……

Xiao Mingyue received the "Qi Min Yaoshu" sent by Yi Wei, and read the above records about farming from beginning to end, including detailed records about sowing, seedling raising, and fertilizer application, and felt that this book was very good.

He sent it to the Qinzheng Palace to ask the emperor to read it, and proposed to put the precious record on this book "Qi Min Yaoshu" to Nan Chen, the official in charge of farming, and further develop farming, garden fruit trees, as well as raising fish, shrimp, livestock, and so on.

Chen Xian read it and felt that the content was detailed and rare, so he also decided to do what Xiao Mingyue said.

"Your Majesty! The fishing villages in the south are mainly based on fishing and shrimping, but they can't cultivate good fish fry, and no matter how many fish and shrimp there are, they will always be fished out one day! There are also fruit tree planting, in the past, the fruits that were paid tribute to the imperial court were thousands of choices, and those fruit farmers also relied on God to eat, and they could have a bumper harvest if the wind and rain were smooth, but if there was a drought and flood, then their life would be very difficult. Xiao Mingyue said to Chen Xian with a smile.

Chen Xian nodded, feeling that since there was Jia Siqian in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Chen Guo also had to have his own agronomist, who should be good at farming, familiar with farming, and so on.

"Good! Since the development of agriculture in the Northern Wei Dynasty is so good, we cannot be inferior either!"

It is called the people of the household department, first from the officials to start the selection, and then to the guest attendants, and even ordinary people, as long as they are good at farming, breeding, all called over, let them talk about their own experience, read the book, then let them write out, do not know the words, then call it dictation, let the household staff write, if the method is good, there are rewards, plus "Qi Min to art", in terms of farming, must surpass the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, this is going to be in "Qi Min's Technique"

On the basis of surpassing them? Xiao Mingyue said.

After seeing that Chen Xian not only attaches importance to it, but is also unwilling to condescend to others, he feels that such a contest is beneficial to the people and the country, why not do it?!

"That's right! The widow is to surpass the Northern Wei Dynasty, no matter which place it is!"

Chen Xian put down the "Qi Min Technique" in his hand and replied.

"So good! Your Majesty thinks like this, it is the blessing of the people and the blessing of the society," Xiao Mingyue praised Chen Xian.

Chen Xian leaned on Xiao Mingyue and smiled shallowly, this is done for the sake of the people, and secondly, for the sake of Xiao Mingyue's status in Xiao Mingyue's heart greater than that of Yu Wendi.

Then he got up and came to Xiao Mingyue, took his hands, and said affectionately: "

The widow wants you to stay with the widow forever, and the widow also knows the unfettered freedom you want most, the widow can't give it to you, and Yuwendi can't give it either, but in addition to this, the widow is willing to give you everything you want, even if this country can be shared with you!"

"Your Majesty, this country belongs to Your Majesty, it won't be Mingyue's, haven't Your Majesty and Mingyue always cherished each other? We are like this now, Mingyue is already content, and can stay by His Majesty's side, Mingyue doesn't dare to hope for anything else?!" Xiao Mingyue said softly to Chen Xian.

"What about Yu Wendi!?"

Even if he asked the same thing, Mingyue would answer the same way.

"In this way, the widow only feels that he has wronged you too much, after all, you are still young, and the widow is really reluctant!"

Chen Xian's heart to marry Xiao Mingyue has never stopped.

Every time he tried hard, with a hint of fantasy, hoping that Xiao Mingyue could marry him.

This wish is always fulfilled in dreams.

Xiao Mingyue avoided Chen Xian's "wish" while trying her best to comfort him.

It's like a child who wants to eat candy, and adults can only coax and persuade him not to eat candy every time.

However, Xiao Mingyue is by Chen Xian's side, both of them are big people, and no matter how deep their feelings and desires are hidden, they will not be able to suppress and reveal them.

Xiao Mingyue doesn't know how long such days will pass,

Even though she was reluctant to Chen Xian, she knew that she would have to leave him sooner or later!
