Chapter 175: Progress
Xiao Mu's set of rhetoric really persuaded Lin Ye, or Lin Ye was not persuaded by Xiao Mu, but Lin Ye also felt that Lu Da should be the kind of person who values filial piety and promises. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Of course, Xiao Mu and Lin Yi are both young people from later generations, and they have no and full confidence in their own skills in knowing people, just take Qian Qianyi, who is often called into the palace by Xiao Mu to give lectures, there is no way to tell from his appearance or behavior that he will do such things as "the water is too cold" and "the head is too itchy". Therefore, the two of them still had to see the results brought back by the person who was finally sent to the Daimyo's Mansion to verify the situation - although they were very willing to believe in Lu Da's character, they still could not firmly trust their own judgment.
Although Xiao Mu also told Lu Da before that Liang Yanyang committed a big crime that was enough to "punish the nine clans", but at that time, he just wanted to explain that Liang Yanyang's crime was very serious, in fact, as a time-traveler from the modern society of later generations, Xiao Mu was of course not interested in the system of connecting dozens of people in ancient times when one person committed a crime at every turn. And Xiao Mu believes that on this issue, Lin Yi must have the same opinion as himself, even if Liang Yanyang once kidnapped her, but Lin Ye definitely did not want Liang Yanyang's son to follow the reason to atone for his sins, which can be seen from her worry about Xiao Mu's decision to hand over Liang Yanyang's son to Lu Da just now.
Therefore, Xiao Mu naturally could not have the idea of wanting Liang Yanyang's son, after all, in addition to the common problems among children in later generations, such as being pampered and not eating well, this child did not have any unforgivable sins.
As for whether this child will know about his biological father when he grows up, and whether he will want to seek revenge on Xiao Mu after he knows it, Xiao Mu has no worries about such a thing at all. Xiao Mu has every reason to believe that if Lu Da, who hates Liang Yanyang, raises this child, then under his accumulated influence, it is impossible for this child to have any good feelings for his biological father.
If you take a step back and say that the acquired influence that Lu Da exerted on this child failed, and this child still wants to avenge his father, it is not that it can be avenged, Xiao Mu simply imagined that the difficulty of assassinating himself, the emperor, in the time and space of Daming, is probably the same as that of his own later life, and the difficulty of an ordinary person wanting to assassinate the president of the United States is comparable - that is to say, it is almost impossible to complete.
Of course, if you take a step back, this child does have a very outstanding ability, and when he grows up, he has become a generation of heroes by chance, and has a huge force that can compete with the emperor, but that must be more than ten or decades later, Xiao Mu has no confidence in whether he can continue the Ming Dynasty according to the original historical process for sixteen or seven years, if it really comes to the time when the child becomes a force, maybe he is already gone, and this Central Plains land is probably already "Dashun" at that time, or" Great Qing Dynasty".
While Xiao Mu was talking to Lin Yi, time passed unconsciously, and soon Wang Chengen came back to tell him that Xu Guangqi had been invited, and the emperor could go to see him at any time.
So Xiao Mu and Lin Yi put aside the discussion about handing over Liang Yanyang's son to Lu Da for the time being, anyway, it all had to be determined after the person who was sent to the Daimyo's Mansion to verify the situation brought back the results, and after a brief tidying up, the two went to see Xu Guangqi together - the simple cleaning here mainly means that Lin Yi wants to put away the feather duster that he just used to beat Xiao Mu, after all, it is unreasonable for the queen of the Ming Dynasty to take the feather duster to see the minister, of course, the queen will definitely not be able to use the feather duster to beat the emperor, But this kind of thing now does not happen every day, but at least it is a regular event.
Soon Xiao Mu and Lin Yi met Xu Guangqi, in line with the simple idea of respecting the old and loving the young, Xiao Mu of course also exempted the old minister from bowing down, and asked Wang Chengen to show Xu Guangqi the seat, Xiao Mu asked about the matter:
"The trial planting of sweet potatoes that was handed over to Aiqing a few days ago, I don't know how it is going now?"
After Xu Guangqi learned that the emperor wanted to see him, he had already guessed that the emperor was going to ask about the matter of trying to plant sweet potatoes, after all, from the emperor's previous words and deeds, it can be clearly seen that he attaches great importance to the cultivation of sweet potatoes, so Xu Guangqi can say without exaggeration that the success of the sweet potato trial has a vital role in the Ming Dynasty.
Since he realized the importance of sweet potato trial planting, Xu Guangqi naturally devoted 120 percent of his energy to handling this matter, so he didn't need any preparation for Xiao Mu's question, so he could answer directly: "Back to the emperor, the minister has sent people to collect sweet potato seeds and potato vines from Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places. ā
"Well, Aiqing did a good job, I really didn't choose the wrong person to hand over this matter to Aiqing......" Xiao Mu listened to Xu Guangqi's report, and of course he pretended to praise it. But in fact, Xiao Mu only realized a very serious problem at this time, that is, it has not been too long since he handed over this matter to Xu Guangqi, considering the factors of inconvenient transportation in ancient times, in such a short period of time, it is already a very difficult task to collect sweet potato samples from all over the world, Xu Guangqi can do it Now that a lot of samples have been sent, it is already quite difficult to start a small range of trial planting.
Therefore, this business should still be in a state of initial development, and it is still far from being able to see the results, which is a very strong contrast with what Xiao Mu originally expected, and he will soon see obvious results when he says it casually. In fact, the research on agriculture is not an overnight undertaking, and it often takes several years or even more than ten years to finally obtain the most suitable high-yielding variety, and in this process, it is necessary to invest considerable manpower and material resources to achieve results -- even in the later generations of Xiao Mu, when science and technology were very developed, this was also the case.
Moreover, Xiao Mu himself is a typical representative of the four bodies and the five grains, and he knows nothing about agricultural research, so it is not good to put forward any opinions on Xu Guangqi's work, except for the dry exaggeration, Xiao Mu doesn't know what to say.
