Chapter 106: Sowing the Seed

That night, the crown prince Liu Che entered Weiyang and talked with Emperor Jing all night until it was dark. Bathed in the morning mist, Liu Che sighed in his heart, now that the army is about to go to Heshuo, the emperor's father is no longer as in history, eager to solve the King of Liang, and thinks that Yuan Ang and other more than ten important ministers of the court can escape for the time being.

However, the Liang State was rich and strong, and he had not yet joined the Royal Industrial Group, so there was no way to start the reduction of the feudal domain. And the many strategists in King Liang's mansion and the wealthy families who support him behind his back will not be willing to allow King Liang to completely compromise with Emperor Jing. It can be said that the situation has evolved so far, and it is no longer something that Emperor Jing and King Liang can fully control. This is a life-and-death contest between two political forces, and King Liang, as the most powerful prince surnamed Liu today, is like a banner, which has been pushed onto the road of confronting the central government, and will surely go further and further.

And Emperor Jing is the initiator of all this. The rebellion of Wu Chu allowed him to greatly weaken the princes in various places. As long as more pressure is put on the princes and kings, let them all lean towards the king of Liang, and finally use the excuse to catch them all, the domestic problem can be completely solved. It can be said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in history was able to complete the real unification of the Han Dynasty, and then expand the territory and create a prosperous era through the ages, and Emperor Jing contributed a lot. The two generations of emperors of Wenjing, no matter which one they are, are more qualified than Emperor Wu to be called the first emperor of the ages!

Liu Che's actions after crossing over, although they delayed the defeat of King Liang, could not change the cruel reality in the end. Even though Emperor Jing was temporarily distracted by the Han-Hungarian controversy, he still made the reduction of the feudal domain his primary goal. Even Liu Che himself has thoughts that the princes and kings must be exterminated. It's just that he always had a glimmer of hope, hoping that King Liang would put down everything as soon as possible, take the initiative to apply to return to Beijing for a long time, and even stay in the royal manor, and hand over the Liang State to the central political axe. Only in this way can the imperial grandmother not see the tragic scene of fratricidal brothers in her lifetime.

A few days later, King Liang returned to the country, but the Queen Mother and Emperor Jing did not show up, but only sent the crown prince Liu Che to see him off. Outside the gate of the city, the uncle and nephew looked at each other speechlessly, silent for a long time. After a long time, King Liang patted Liu Che on the shoulder, and said quietly: "Che'er, you are really much stronger than Liu Rong, Your Majesty gave birth to a good son, and the clan is very lucky!" Dahan is very lucky! ”

Liu Che smiled slightly: "Say goodbye today, Uncle Huang take care." The goodness is like water, benefiting all things without fighting, but the nephew, as the prince, has to fight. I had to be cheeky and ask the emperor to think more about the common people, and the people were very lucky! Dahan is very lucky! ”

King Liang was stunned when he heard this, shook his head with a wry smile, didn't say much, waved his hand at Liu Che, then boarded the chariot and left slowly. Liu Che immediately turned over and got on his horse, and galloped towards Miyagi without looking back. The two drifted apart in opposite directions, and when they said goodbye, they must have been wrong.

The years have passed, like water, and in the blink of an eye, they have been stunned.

At the foot of Nanshan Mountain, Yinong Hou Qiu Li is directing the students of the Agricultural College to plow the fields back and forth, and there are a large number of insect eggs in the soil that has been turned up, and many poultry transported from the farm are eating very happily.

Qiu Liyuan was only a gardener in the imperial garden, but because he was good at grafting and breeding, and he was literate, he was appointed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the dean of the Agricultural College. After the autumn harvest last year, because the yield per mu of the orphanage's official land increased greatly, he was given the title of Yinong Hou by the Son of Heaven. Although he has a knighthood and no official, he is the hottest figure in the Han court. There is no other reason than that the gentlemen of the Agricultural College are now quite sought-after, and the powerful people who have obtained a large amount of fertilizer hope to get the "agricultural guidance" of the Agricultural College.

Although the Royal Industrial Group organized several large-scale "agricultural lectures" and asked them to send farmers to participate in the study, the old and cunning magnates still hoped to send gentlemen from the agricultural college to guide them. The crown prince Liu Che was naturally happy to see it, and if he wanted to change the concept of the magnates, and then let them realize the importance of science and technology, so as to improve the status of various craftsmen, he must start from their vital interests. For landowners, the most important concern is the output of the farmland.

As a result, the gentlemen and students of the College of Agriculture have gone to various parts of Guanzhong to spread the various agricultural technologies mastered in the College of Agriculture. Qiu Li, with a few left-behind gentlemen, began the "expansion" of the Agricultural College, recruiting a large number of new students from the orphanage, and at the same time expanding the 100 acres of experimental fields at the foot of Nanshan to 1,000 acres, not only planting wheat, soybeans, rice, corn, but most importantly, planting mulberry and silkworms.

Liu Che deeply understood that once he recaptured the land of Heshuo and relied on the Great Wall to contain the Xiongnu iron cavalry, the Xiqiang tribes, which were now greatly injured, would be swept away by the Han army with a devastating force. At that time, the Silk Road will appear in front of the world decades earlier than in history. Fine silk and porcelain will inject much-needed resources and a huge market into the industrialization of the Han Dynasty.

The development of silk in the Han Dynasty was far less than that of the Tang and Song dynasties, mainly because the south of the Yangtze River was not fully developed, and the mulberry and silkworm species were not selected and carefully bred. The development of Jiangnan is a huge system project, and it is not an overnight effort. The top priority is to cultivate excellent mulberry seeds and silkworm seeds, and greatly improve the silk weaving process.

For Liu Che, various agricultural techniques are just simple things extracted from the library after a few days of sleep. However, the implementation is extremely difficult and long. Agricultural technology, unlike industrial technology, can be practiced slowly and selected and cultivated from generation to generation. After all, the evolution of species cannot be leapfrogged at all.

In the face of Liu Che's demonic razing of the exotic flowers and plants in the small half of the imperial garden, and planting mulberry trees and white stacks on a large scale, Emperor Jing did not intervene in the slightest. Emperor Jing has now put all his heart and soul into the upcoming Han-Hungarian War, and in the face of his weakened body, he, as a pragmatic emperor, understands that this war may be a key battle to determine his historical positioning. As for the horse herding wolf mountain that the crown prince Liu Che said, sweeping the desert, I'm afraid there is nothing to do with him.

Even if Emperor Jing understood that according to the current momentum of development, the Han Empire would probably complete the great cause of the ages far beyond its predecessors under the leadership of Liu Che and become the first emperor of the ancient world. However, as an emperor, Emperor Jing also had his own ambitions, that is, to fight the battle of Heshuo and recover the Central Plains. If you can sweep away the Xiqiang and sit in the Western Regions, it will be a great achievement. Since the "no one who comes after" can't be done, but if it can be "unprecedented", it will definitely go down in history!

Geng Laohan is very troubled, as a mud leg who is about to know the destiny of heaven, and now he has to learn to read and write with teenage dolls, which really wants his old life. However, Qiu Li, the dean of the College of Agriculture, repeatedly told him that this was His Royal Highness the Prince's requirement for gentlemen, even if they couldn't write, at least they should be able to read.

Geng Laohan naturally couldn't disobey His Highness's strict orders, in his eyes, His Highness was really a great sage. Not only did he provide food and clothing for the orphans in the army, but he also sent a gentleman to teach them knowledge and let them grow their skills. Geng Laohan is a person who knows how to be grateful, he feels that he lives in such a good house, and he really loses the emperor's grace to take these many monthly examples, don't say that His Royal Highness is to make him literate, even if he is asked to go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, he will rush forward with his neck.

So, whenever Geng Laohan said that when Zhao Li and these dolls got out of school, he would let them come to his house, have a dinner, and teach him to read and write. After months on end, I can still recognize a lot of words. But it's only recognizable, and you can't understand what it means when you connect them together.

There are many gentlemen who have the same troubles as Geng Laohan, and Qiu Li is a little helpless, so he has to turn to His Royal Highness the omnipotent Prince. After Liu Che learned about it, he thought hard for a long time, but he couldn't think of a good solution. The ancient text is indeed a little obscure, even if he has traveled through the Han Dynasty for more than ten years, he is diligent and studious, but he does not dare to be conceited and can read and hyphenation. Otherwise, there would not be so many old pedants who are poor and end up immersed in studying the classics.

Forced to be helpless, Liu Che decided to promote the "vernacular language" in a small area in the orphanage's inner courtyard. Even if many trolls in later generations thought that this would bury the traditional Chinese culture, they couldn't care about it at this time. Writing and language are constantly evolving, and only by following the development trend of society can civilization be passed on. If he had been promoting education in accordance with the ancient texts, Liu Che would not have to do anything in his life, and education for all alone would have allowed him to do his best and die.

In order to seek peace of mind, Liu Che specially summoned Taixue to sacrifice wine, the prince Taifu Weijuan, and discussed with him the expansion of Taixue, and added two special subjects of calligraphy and ancient literature. Liu Che understood that the vernacular language was easy to understand, and in the upcoming industrialization process, it would become the main grammar for the development of science and technology and the general public, and then completely squeezed the ancient language out of the mainstream system. It is still very necessary to give some protection to the ancient texts and set up some "protected areas" in Taixue, lest it be too sad to be too sad if no one can understand the classics of the hundreds of schools of thought after a thousand years. Think about the new China of later generations, how many bullshit brick family beasts wantonly distort the classics, and it hurts people to see it.

After discussing with Wei Juan, Liu Che summoned many scribes in the Prince Zhan Shi's mansion and personally taught them the grammar of "vernacular Chinese". Because Liu Che had taught them the use of some punctuation marks in the past, and even the Hanyu Pinyin of later generations, they accepted it very quickly. Of course, Liu Che has not dared to implement the simplified Chinese character for the time being, this is an issue involving the "ancestral system", and if he is not to be impeached by the imperial historians, he must be slowed down.

As a dual master's degree in mechanical engineering and chemical engineering, Liu Che is definitely a good science teacher, but he is not necessarily a good liberal arts teacher. He scratched his ears and cheeks, and in less than half an hour, he emptied all the little pitiful common sense in his stomach, and could only misinterpret it stupidly: "To learn this vernacular language, you must first write prose, what is prose, that is, the form is scattered, and it is prose to write down what you usually say truthfully." ”

The scribes were confused, looking at each other, but they did not dare to say more. Liu Che scratched his head in distress and reluctantly asked them to retreat. Subsequently, Liu Che fell asleep for a few days, and was stunned to adapt a few thick prose collections from the library and handed them over to the scribes to study.

Soon after, the orphanage launched a huge essay competition, limited to the prose genre of vernacular narration, and the top 10 good essays will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan. Surprisingly, almost all the old scholars were not selected, but those teenage dolls, who had only studied in the inner courtyard for more than a year, wrote a lot of good prose.

After Liu Che finished reading the papers, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's still good to paint on blank paper, and education must always start from the doll!" ”
