Chapter 57: Rainy Night Terror (I)
For Sang Yang Weng's persistence, Zhao Wuxian was surprised, but also couldn't help admiring his stubbornness.
Cao Lie, a Chinese from the country of Lu, said: "Meat eaters despise." In his heart, this old farmer probably thinks the same way, for what he thinks is right, he will stick to the end, and do not blindly follow the powerful, this is the strong and confident character of the people of the pre-Qin country.
Zhao Wuxian has already obtained satisfactory results, and he does not want to blindly suppress opponents.
Anyway, Sang Yang Weng's family only has dozens of acres of land.
Zhao Wuxian said with a smile: "Okay, don't force Sang Yang Weng, this way, I won't implement the field substitution method on your land, those fields, just use them as a control group, Sang Yang Weng feels unconvinced, then when planting millet in the coming year, don't lose the harvest to other people!" ”
"Control group?" Although he didn't understand it too much, Sang Yang Weng suddenly ignited his fighting spirit.
"If I lose, if I lose......" thought the old man, what price he would have to pay if he lost.
"If Sang Yang Weng loses, please try your best to help me improve the field method and farm tools."
After hearing this, the people of the country admired Zhao Wuxian's mind.
Now, only Cheng Lang and a few people from the Cheng clan are still standing in the middle, this one-sided situation is something they never expected in advance, and they have not set corresponding countermeasures, and now it is extremely embarrassing.
Zhao Wuxian didn't pay attention to Cheng Lang and the others, anyway, the grudge between him and the Cheng clan had already been settled, even if he forcibly pressed their heads, he would be resisted and slack, so why bother.
Moreover, if we do not set up a model, how can we show the advanced nature of the Shirota Law? How can the Chinese people participating in winter planting have a sense of superiority after a good harvest? This kind of favorable thing is put here, you like to do it or not, and when the wheat is ripe next year, it is you who regret it!
At the end of the winter festival, Zhao Wuxian stood in front of the empty temple, closing his eyes and confessing to the gods of the dark for what he had done today.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, but Ji Qiao walked behind him without saying a word.
"Didn't the gentleman go to measure the length of the day, and estimate the number nine, why did he come back so soon?"
Ji Qiao asked straightforwardly: "Gentleman, is the so-called divination today true or false?" ”
Zhao Wuxian knew what he wanted to say, and he didn't want to hide it from Ji Qiao, who was also a gentleman and a friend to him.
"I've heard the saying, God for democracy! The boy just said what was beneficial to the people through the mouth of the gods. Mr. Ji, you just need to say, believe me or not? ”
"Qiao has already pledged his allegiance to the gentleman, so he naturally believes ......"
"That's enough, in fact, this farming is actually the same as solving the number problem, only by doing it, can you know if you can solve it. Tomorrow, Chengyi will start to implement the Daitian Law, Mr. only needs to do his best to plan as a whole, and when the wheat is ripe, everything will naturally be visible! ”
"But when the time comes, I'll make a bet with my husband."
"To bet on a year's worth of land, or even the land of Chengyi, is child's play, Qiao would rather let the gentleman win, dare to ask what to bet on?"
Zhao Wuxian pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I know that the gentleman clan is a business of calculating officials, and the art of arithmetic is passed down from generation to generation, except for teaching me the son of a doctor, it is generally not passed on, right?" ”
"Of course."
"But the kid has a request, if there is a bumper harvest of wheat and millet in the coming year, I will open a school in Chengyi to admit the bright children of the country to enroll, and when the time comes, I will ask Mr. to teach mathematics, as well as Zhou Ji numbers, etc., how about it?"
Ji Qiao didn't expect such a request, this was indeed inconsistent with the rules of the Ji clan, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Zhou Ji number is originally taught by the gentleman, naturally you can do what the gentleman says, even if the overseas Chinese are against the rules of the clan, they are willing to teach what they have learned in their lives!" ”
……
On the day of the winter solstice, in addition to the sacrifice, it is also easier to change clothes, prepare food, welcome the sun and celebrate the new, on this day, people should have congratulatory activities, congratulate each other, also known as the winter.
And the Chinese and savages who gave Zhao Wuxian a winter greeting actually lined up from the township temple to the temple of She...... After today's incident, Zhao Wuxian has been deified again, and the people seem to want to get together and get some blessings.
When the night was about to get dark, Zhao Wuxian finally entertained all the guests, finished all the affairs, and returned to the residence behind the village temple.
Although he is tired, he is in a good mood, and today can be said to be a big victory, and the road for the coming year has been paved.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the two maidservants in his house, Yuan and Wei, both dressed in the weaver's newly made deep clothes, like two butterflies prostrate on the ground, saluting him.
Wuxian's eyes lit up, his eyes were fixed on Wei who was plain, and he didn't even look at Yuan, but just waved at her with bad intentions and arranged for her to prepare food for Musha. Hmph, this gentleman is in a good mood today, so I will create an opportunity for you......
Wei blushed, raised her hands in the air, and offered the winter solstice gifts for Zhao Wuxian: a pair of shoes made of fine arrowroot, and a foot coat made of leftovers.
"This is done by the concubine herself, please don't dislike the gentleman......"
"Winter solstice, count nine, sacrifice tribute socks, to welcome blessings and practice long", this contribution of shoes and foot clothing, is to purify misfortune and welcome blessings, so that people's lives can be long.
Zhao Wuxian naturally accepted it unceremoniously, and habitually said thank you, which made Wei stunned for a while.
Subsequently, Zhao Wuxian also gave Wei a holiday, so that she could spend the festival with her younger brother Ao, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious when he saw his sister and brother walking out with laughter.
Although the night is dark, there are still rare group drinking and swallow feasting activities today, and the winter solstice party drinking, celebrating the end of the year's work, is not restricted. It's just that the guards outside need to be strengthened to prevent drunkenness from causing trouble, well, especially Tian Ben, he can't let him drink a sip of wine.
Zhao Wuxian thought about it while putting on the shoes and footwear that Wei Cao offered, and it could be seen that it was carefully sewn, but ......
It's still not as comfortable as Ji Ying's old shoes and socks.
His size is probably in Ji Huan's heart, and I don't know what my sister is doing during this festival? Are you looking at the starry sky?
Just as Zhao Wuxian was looking up to think about it, he heard a rush of footsteps outside.
"Who dares to break into the gentleman's residence at night!" But it was Musha's deep and deep voice......
"It's me, it's me, the erector of the lower palace, there is an urgent matter to report to the gentleman!"
When Zhao Wuxian heard this, he couldn't help but be suspicious, the erection of the lower palace was wide, wasn't that the head of several vertical temples who walked around Zhao Ying and spread the word, how did he come to Chengyi?
After checking his identity by the door, a vertical man in a soap coat hurriedly ran in, and when he saw the shirtless, he fell to his knees with a thud from afar, raised an object with both hands, and said:
"The Lord has an order to mobilize 200 soldiers in Chengyi immediately and stand by at any time! The troop transfer tiger charm is here, please match the gentleman! ”
Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, and the third one is around 12 o'clock in the evening...... This week's recommendation is a new book recommendation, which is a bit hard to find
