"Grandpa Fang, I don't know how your grandfather has lived in your life? Who is happier than him? As soon as he opened his mouth, the crowd was startled.

Fang Zhongyong was still silent and didn't speak, in fact, he only knew how to answer this question at all.

However, Fang Baozheng had seen some small figures, and replied smoothly: "Xiaodao Chief, how can I and other small people talk about it." Author's Recommendation: The best daddy in the other world

It is true that even if Wang Anshi has been dismissed from the post of prime minister twice, as long as he is alive, other children will not dare to talk about him casually in front of people, not to mention that this person in front of him is still his own grandson.

"Grandpa Fang, maybe in your opinion, my maternal grandfather Wang Anshi is a very popular minister, presiding over the reform of the law, enriching the country and strengthening the army, this life should be regarded as very happy and satisfied.

But in my opinion, this is not true happiness. He had a total of three sons and three daughters in his life, one of whom died young, and the most proud son was my own uncle, Wang Yan, who also died young in the year I was born. Not only did his uncle not leave a son and a half daughter, but even his own Hun family finally remarried to the royal family. Not to mention, he also married one of his daughters to the son of his political opponent. ”

"The betrayal of relatives can be said to be his current situation!"

"He is now very old, and he is left with only one son. If only he had known that in a few years, the changes he had presided over would be completely repudiated. I don't know, but what will he think at that time? Tell me, if my grandfather saw that your family was so happy, how would you feel about his old man? Do you still think he's happy? ”

Before Cai Dao said this, everyone, especially Dean, scoffed at the question he asked, but after he said this, everyone fell silent, and Dean had been staying in Bianliang City, and he could better understand the meaning of the words.

The opposition of many forces in the court, the betrayal of his subordinates, the distrust between his brothers, and even Cai Dao did not dare to say it, even Emperor Song Shenzong finally abandoned this important minister whom he had given infinite trust in the past, but these could not dampen Wang Anshi's determination to change the law.

was ousted for the first time, but he still made a comeback.

However, Wang Yan, one of the three kings of Linchuan, although he is the son of Wang Anshi, he is a great talent in the world. Unexpectedly, he died young, allowing Wang Anshi to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person.

The reluctant Xianggong only has two sons, and he died the talented one, which is the real reason why Wang Anshi refused to come back again after resigning as prime minister for the second time.

Through the fourth of his beloved son, Wang Anshi was fully enlightened, and for the first time, he really saw through Song Shenzong.

Di An thought about Cai Dao carefully, and the more Wang Anshi, the grandson, thought about it, the more frightened he became.

The truth is really like what Cai Dao said, although Wang Anshi's reputation among the scholars and the people was greatly damaged because of the change of the law, but the four words of success and fame can still summarize his life.

But is Wang Anshi really happy?

Compared with the happy appearance of Fang Zhongyong's family in front of him, Dean himself felt that life should be like this. Even if you live a poor life like them, as long as your family is safe and sound, that is the greatest happiness.

Cai Dao's words once again silenced everyone.

After a while, it was Cai Dao himself who took the lead in breaking everyone's silence, and he asked, "Grandpa Fang, have you thought about it?" Are you going to let those children and grandchildren go with me? ”

It turned out that before the flowing water banquet began, Cai Dao and Fang Zhongyong were in the house and talked about three conditions. This is the main content of the conversation between the two, and it is also the second purpose of Cai Dao's trip.

First, Cai Dao wanted to borrow Fang Zhongyong's reputation in Jinxi County to vigorously promote the Cai family's farming and breeding technology.

Second, Cai Dao promised that when he entered Beijing this time, he could bring Shang Zhongyong's children and grandchildren, and even his granddaughter, and the number of people was not limited.

Of course, the premise is that if those of his children and grandchildren are willing to go to Beijing with Cai Dao.

However, he also specifically pointed out that the stunned young man just now, that is, Fang Dajing, Cai Dao did not dare to bring him to his side, if he was brought into the capital, it would not be to promote him, but to harm him.

Besides, Fang Zhongyong himself is too old to stay away from his homeland, and he must leave someone at home to take care of them and his wife.

Third, Cai Dao hopes that Fang Zhongyong can go out of the mountain again and teach people to read and read.

Cai Dao can first fund Fang Zhongyong to open a large private school in Fangjia Village, and he does not ask him to teach a jinshi, as long as the people in the village, regardless of men, women, old and young, teach them or they can read and write.

Cai Dao himself did this in filial piety. Nowadays, the private school in Xiaocili has been expanded into a large school, not only all children in Xiaocili can study in it for free, but even in the surrounding villages, as long as they pay money, they can go to it to learn to read and write.

Fang Zhongyong was used as a negative teaching material because of Wang Anshi's article, does he still have a reputation in Jinxi County?

The answer is, of course.

Fang Zhongyong's family has been farming for generations, if it is divided according to the special period in later generations, his family should be a middle peasant, and his family has more than ten acres of fertile land.

But his family is not a wealthy family, if it weren't for his past reputation, so many strong men in his family would have been tossed by the officials sent by the government a long time ago.

Not only the government, but even the other people in Fang's village would show fearful eyes when they saw Fang Zhongyong.

If Fang Zhongyong farmed and raised pigs according to the techniques taught to him by Cai Dao, he would definitely make a fortune in less than a year.

Song Zhenzong only vigorously promoted Champa rice, which completely changed the pattern of production areas in the north and south of China, so that in the decades after him, the population of the Great Song Kingdom quickly exceeded 100 million people. This is a number that has never been reached in the heyday of the Han and Tang dynasties, not to mention, the Great Song Kingdom itself has a small territory, and it is really not easy to feed such a large population.

However, in a few decades, the disadvantages of the small territory of the Great Song Kingdom will become more and more obvious. With a large number of people and a small amount of land, it is impossible to feed such a common people by estimating the approximate yield based on the amount of arable land available. If we can increase the yield per unit of land on the existing land, it is the simplest and most practical way to solve this dilemma.

As for those high-yield crops in North America, with the shipbuilding technology and navigation technology of the shipyards of the Great Song Kingdom and Xiaocili Shipyard, it is simply a fool's dream, and it is very difficult to realize, it is better to find a way to send troops to occupy Yizhou, Nanyang Islands, and even Australia, and move the surplus people to these places, which can greatly alleviate the contradiction of overpopulation in the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, these are long-term goals, and now, Cai Dao wants to use Fang Zhongyong's fame in Jinxi County to expand his reputation and promote his planting techniques.

In this way, Fang Zhongyong alone will be able to spread his farming skills to the entire Jiangxi East Road, and even beyond. There is no need for Cai Dao to promote it personally.

As for the inevitable drop in grain prices after the bumper harvest, it is not a problem at all in Cai Dao's view. Although the South Jiangxi Road and Fujian are separated by lofty mountains, they can transport grain by land to Dongting Lake, and then transport it to Xiaocili through the Yangtze River.

In this way, Cai Dao will not have to continue to grow food in the fields of Xiaoci at all. Cotton, mulberry, tea and sugar cane, planting these cash crops, and controlling these high value-added goods in their own hands is more conducive to the Cai family's maritime trade.

The second point is that Cai Dao learned after questioning that it turned out that Fang Zhongyong's children and grandchildren were actually literate.

This is really valuable in the township of the Great Song Kingdom!

Of course, their level of education is only literacy. This old man never expected his children and grandchildren to be admitted to the Jinshi, and the reason why he taught his children to read and write was just because he didn't want them to become like his father, who didn't know how to be polite and only knew money.

The third point is to serve the first.

After all, once the private school is opened, it will inevitably greatly increase Fang Zhongyong's reputation in the local area. Only wealthy families can afford to open private schools, this is the most simple perception of the people in the countryside.
