"I ask you why the school you built chose students from among the peasant families."

As soon as he heard this, Jia Yi knew why the people of the Manchu Dynasty and Tang Dynasty were looking at him, and he dared to love that he was the protagonist of the story today, and after thinking about it for a while, he opened his mouth and said.

"The people of my Datang have been cultivating the fields for generations, which is the foundation of my Datang, if there is no accident, their cultivation will continue from generation to generation, but the minister thinks that learning does not distinguish between high and low, not to mention that the people of my Datang are the most respectable group of people in the world, and it is really appropriate for the ministers to give them a chance to learn knowledge."

When Li Er heard Jia Yi's words, his face suddenly darkened, and he snorted: "Don't talk nonsense, tell your true thoughts, if you can't satisfy me, I will order someone to demolish your school." ”

This is unreasonable, don't you just want to set up a school and eliminate illiteracy for the people of Datang, why is it so difficult, knowing that Jia Yi, who can't pass the test without giving some real materials, chose the most convincing example and said it.

"Your Majesty, colleagues, I also know your worries, it is nothing more than worrying that there will be no farmers to cultivate the fields in the future, resulting in no food for the people of my Datang Dynasty, in fact, you don't have to worry at all, first of all, my school can't accommodate too many farmers, at most a thousand people are over, I believe that without this thousand people, it shouldn't make my Datang people hungry, and secondly, my school will also teach more effective planting methods, don't dare to say anything else, there is no big problem in increasing the yield of fifty percent of an acre of land."

Jia Yi didn't say nonsense, the output of grain in the farmland in later generations, that is not calculated on a thousand catties, the Tang Dynasty, even if it is the most fertile land, can make the grain output reach 500 catties is already regarded as burning high incense, and even the farmers who plant this land may be respected as good hands in farming, and are sought after and praised by many farmers.

"Jia Yi, are you serious?" What Jia Yi said is what Li Er cares about the most, if he can produce more grain, even if he reduces the number of farmers, what does it matter, as long as the grain does not decrease.

"It's true, of course, the minister's school will also teach physics, through physics, students can use their brains, update the current farming tools, change the current cultivation state, and wait until there are more fast and convenient farming tools, I believe that a person planting more than ten acres of land, will not be too difficult."

Thinking about the later generations, from spring planting to autumn harvest, all the water was completed by machines, to use a more vulgar metaphor, even if it was a dog, throw them two steamed buns, he can also plant the land.

Jia Yi said that he was arrogant, but the courtiers thought that he was talking about it, and many people questioned what Jia Yi said, after all, what Jia Yi said now is all one-sided, in the end, is it really as he said that it can both increase yield and improve planting efficiency, before there is no real example in front of them, all this is still in the mirror after all, not true at all.

In the face of everyone's doubts, Jia Yi did not feel any discomfort, but gave an example with a smile.

"Do you know the changes in Luonan County?"

"There is a new way of raising silkworms in Luonan County, which can not only feed the crucian carp when raising silkworms, but also make the mulberry trees grow strong, completely eliminating the worry that the silkworms have no food available, but what does this have to do with what you said?"

"Oh, this way of raising silkworms in Luonan County is out of my mouth, I call this ecological silkworm hair, to put it bluntly, it is to use everything that can be used, the mulberry silkworm fish pond into a recycled whole, silkworm sand is used to feed crucian carp, pond mud is used to water mulberry trees, this way can not only make crucian carp grow fat, but also let mulberry trees get enough nutrients to become more strong, correspondingly, mulberry trees will have more mulberry leaves to feed more silkworms, then silk will become more, This is what I call a manifestation of a new approach to farming. ”

"So what is the method you are talking about that can increase the grain production by 50%?" There was a shrewd person who took advantage of this opportunity to hurriedly ask Jia Yi, after all, this kind of knowledge is already a secret that cannot be passed on, at this time Jia Yi was in a hurry to explain to Li Er, and if he didn't hurry up to ask, he could only send the children of the family to study in Jia Yi's school in the future.

"You don't understand what I said, you better wait to see the results later." Hybrid cultivation seems simple, but it involves the problem of genetics, and you make this group of ancient people who don't know that there are single-celled organisms in the world understand such a profound problem.

The person who had just asked the question, after hearing Jia Yi's answer, was suddenly angry, waved his sleeves fiercely, and kept silent.

It doesn't matter what others think, anyway, Jia Yi's flickering made Li Eryi move, and that was enough.

"Okay, in that case, you can run your school with peace of mind, and if you need Mr. Chuanye, just tell me." Anyway, Li Er still has a large number of talents in his hands, and it just so happens that Jia Yi is worried that he doesn't know where to find a teacher, but he didn't expect Li Er to send him to the door.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although there are still many people who have deep doubts about Jia Yi's words, there are also some people who have begun to believe everything Jia Yi said, plus Jia Yi's own arithmetic has been able to dominate the Tang Dynasty, in order to be able to learn these knowledge from Jia Yi's hands, some courtiers suddenly began to get close to Jia Yi, in order to be able to let their children and nephews go to Jia Yi's school to study.

The school was built by Jia Yi alone, he can teach whoever he wants, if he is a farmer who has no money, it will be forgotten, Jia Yi has the right to teach, but you rich people also want to take advantage, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world.

"It's not impossible for your children and nephews to go to school to study, but each student must pay a thousand yuan in tuition, otherwise they don't have to talk."

"Isn't Jia Hou going to recruit peasant children into school? There are only a few farmers in the world who can come up with a thousand yuan. ”

"Who said that I should care about them asking for money, they are poor, they don't have much money, I am happy to teach them knowledge, if you don't take money, your children and nephews will be different, all of them are rich people, just to help those poor people share a little tuition."

Jia Yi's words made many ministers who were close to him speechless for a while, there is such a thing in the world, it is simply unheard of, but now Jia Yi has more money in his hands, if he wants to learn, this thousand times cannot be saved no matter what.

Jia Yi, who returned home, didn't rest for long, and the gentleman sent by Li Er came to him, not a great Confucian, just a bit of a Confucian who is really talented and learned, but this is enough, anyway, learning Confucianism is just to let the students know how to read, just understand the truth, there is no need to do it completely according to what the sage book says, otherwise they will all become sour Confucian, and Jia Yi will not be of much use if he wants to come.

A thousand-character text, a three-character scripture thrown to those Confucian students, this is the homework they want to teach students, it is already a very easy thing, in order not to make these Confucian students feel that they have been mistreated, Jia Yi will also give them a salary, ten times per person per month, which is already a high salary at this time.

Jia Yi didn't plan to teach arithmetic by himself, just his lazy nature, Mr. Dang is misleading people's children, so he needs to choose a few people to teach arithmetic, Jia Er is one, although Xin Guangmao is now an inspector, but there is no actual big thing, and it is okay to come and teach arithmetic.

The rest is physics, which needs to be taught by Jia Yi himself, but he does not intend to teach according to the conventional teaching method, but intends to use the method of practice to bring true knowledge, so that students know the ways and methods of applying knowledge to reality.

Time flies, the gorgeous school was built quickly, and walking in the school, Jia Yi even gave birth to a feeling of returning to the school of later generations, which made him feel very cordial.

Now, Mr. has it, there is a school, and the rest are students, except for the dozens of nephews sent by those officials, none of the peasant children came to study, which made Jia Yi very puzzled, standing at the gate of the school, looking at the empty distance, I don't know why it has become what it is now.

"Big brother, didn't you make it clear, why didn't any of the peasants come." The children and nephews sent by the officials were arranged by Jia Yi to learn the most basic Confucianism, although they basically knew how to read, it was still necessary to feel the atmosphere of the school, so Jia Er was idle.

"No, I'm very clear, no matter who you are, as long as you want to study, you can come here to take classes, why hasn't anyone come?"

Jia Yi's idea is still too simple, thousands of years of inheritance have long let the farmers know that learning is not something they can touch with mud legs, not to mention that they have no money for their children to go to school, just because they don't have any name lintel, let them know clearly that no one in this world will open the door to learning for them.

In order to know what was going on, Jia Yi found the farmer who cultivated peanuts at home, and planned to ask first.

"Where is your child?"

The person who was questioned was an old man who had been working in Jiafu for several years, and he knew that his Hou Ye had no shelf, so he didn't show much nervousness, and said very casually: "I went to catch fish by the river, and the fish is fat at this time, so I can catch it and add food." ”
