In the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that no one understood the meaning of science better than Yang He, and no one knew the role of science better than Yang He.

In later generations, a great man summed up the thoughts of a great philosopher, and once said that science and technology are the primary productive forces. And with this idea as the lead, the road to great revival was opened.

And Xu Guangqi, looking at that time, I am afraid that no scientist can compare with him, maybe in the field of a single subject he is far from those great scientists of the same era, but the most remarkable thing about him is that he can put the knowledge he has into practice.

This person was deeply aware of the situation that Daming was facing, so he asked for military training, but in Yang He's view, it was really a waste of talent to let such a scientist train soldiers.

Such a person should let him pass on the knowledge he has learned to more people, and cultivate more scientific talents for the Ming Dynasty and the country.

"Brother Yingshi, what do you want?" Zhang Fengwu gently patted Yang He on the shoulder and said.

Yang He was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly woke up. It's too simple to think about it, Xu Guangqi is now the imperial history of Henan Province, although the grade is not high, but it is not something that he, a small military attache who doesn't even have a grade, can be invited.

After pondering for a while, Yang He said: "Since this Lord Xu has tried to grow sweet potatoes, there must be sweet potato seeds, let's send someone to Tongzhou to find Lord Xu, buy seeds from him, and at the same time let him teach him how to grow sweet potatoes." ”

"I'm afraid that my brother may not be able to come forward, after all, Lord Xu is busy with military training, and I am afraid that I will not have time to guide how to grow sweet potatoes." Zhang Fengwu said.

Yang He nodded, thought for a while, and said: "Let Brother Longchuan write a letter to him, and then I will ask Liu Yushi to write a letter to him, and then I will personally go to Tongzhou for a trip, I think that Brother Longchuan and Liu Yushi will come forward at the same time, he will have to find time to meet me, right?" ”

"Liu Yushi? Liu Qi who patrolled Liaodong? Zhang Fengwu wondered.

Yang He smiled: "Exactly, I have met Liu Yushi twice, and we have a good conversation, so there should be no problem with him helping to write a letter." ”

"I heard from my brother that Liu Yushi will go to Funing County to meet with my brother in two days, did you suggest it to Liu Yushi?" Zhang Fengwu asked.

Yang He smiled and nodded.

When Zhang Fengwu came to look for Zhang Fengqi yesterday, he only listened to the second half of the words, and after Zhang Fengwu appeared, Yang He never talked about Liu Qi with Zhang Fengqi, and Fan Liu was present at the banquet, and Yang He would not talk about Liu Qi in front of Fan Liu.

Zhang Fengqi must have consulted Zhang Fengwu's opinion after he left, discussing the benefits and disadvantages of contacting Liu Qi.

Smiling, Yang He said: "I didn't finish talking to Brother Longchuan yesterday, in fact, I suggested that Brother Longchuan keep in touch with Liu Qi, the biggest purpose is to know the movements of the imperial court."

Although the Chu Party is now in a weak position, they are always clearer about the movements of the imperial court than the localities, and I think it is safer to contact the Chu Party than to deal with the Donglin Party.

As for why he can't have deep friendships, the reason is also very simple, because whoever becomes the emperor will not tolerate the officials of the DPRK and China to form gangs, so he wants to support the internal officials to suppress the Donglin Party, and when the Donglin Party falls, the emperor should clean up other factions. ”

Sighing softly, Yang He continued: "If the officials of a country are engaged in fighting for power and profit all day long, then the country has no hope. ”

Zhang Fengwu was silent for a long time when he heard this, and after a while, Fang said: "When the time comes, I have a few books there, you can read them when you have time." ”

"Oh? What book? Yang He smiled.

"Taizu Record, Chengzu Record...... It records what happened in the court during the reign of the previous emperors, and it will be of great benefit to you after you read it. Zhang Fengwu said.

Yang He was overjoyed when he heard this, he urgently needed to understand the history of the Ming Dynasty now, and with these books, he could truly understand what kind of dynasty the Ming Dynasty was.

At this moment, two people came running in the distance, and when they saw Yang He, the two knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, and shouted: "Master Jun, it's really you, we don't believe it when we look at it from a distance." ”

Yang He fixed his eyes, but it was Wei Shanjin and Wang Weiguo. Seeing the two of them, Yang He couldn't help laughing and said: "It turned out to be the two of you, why did you two come to the side of Xiayanghe, I remember that your two families should be in Shangyanghe Township." ”

Wei Shanjin smiled and said: "Master Jun, you don't know, halfway that day, a military master asked the people in the yamen to arrange Uncle Dong's family to Xiayanghe Township, saying that Uncle Dong would be the lieutenant chief, and after the two of us went back, we finished hoeing the grass in the field, so we came to help Uncle Dong's family hoe the grass." ”

"Wait, what a mess, who is Uncle Dong?" Yang He frowned and said.

"Uncle Dong is Xiaohui's father." Wei Shan said hurriedly.

"Who is Megumi?" Yang He asked.

As soon as Yang He's words fell, he suddenly saw an old man and a girl in the distance.

Yang He took a look, but it was Dong Laohan.

Seeing Dong Laohan, Yang He suddenly Wei Shanjin and Wang Weiguo said that Uncle Dong is Dong Laohan, and Xiaohui is naturally Dong Laohan's daughter and Dong Sanshun's sister.

I think it must have been those soldiers who told the officials of the county government about Dong Laohan's relationship with him, so those officials arranged Dong Laohan to be the head of Xiayanghe Township.

As for why it was arranged to Xiayanghe Township, because the terrain of Xiayanghe Township was far flatter than that of Shangyanghe Township, and the water source was more abundant, which was conducive to farming.

(In the Ming Dynasty, one hundred and ten households were one li, and the aborigines were called li, and the relocated people were called she, tun.) The grass-roots structure is different in the north and south, the south has a large population, and the county has three levels of townships, capital, li, and map, while the population in the north is small, and most of them are migrants, so the county only has two levels of townships, she, and tun.

In addition, during the Ming Dynasty, the township belonged to the regional concept, and there was no such position as the township chief, and the chief was the grassroots administrator, who was generally served by a large grain payer or a person of high moral character, and the responsibility of the chief was to assist the county in collecting grain and collecting taxes and organizing the people to serve. ）

Seeing Dong Laohan coming, Yang He hurriedly greeted him: "Uncle, it's you old." ”

Dong Laohan wanted to see the salute, but was pulled by Yang He, Dong Laohan said: "I'm old, my eyes are not very good, just now Sanjin and the dog said that I saw you coming, I didn't believe it, until I saw them kowtow, I didn't know that it was really you coming." Why did you bring an entourage with you? ”

Yang He smiled: "I just came to see it, I brought more people, and you saw it and felt uneasy." ”

Turning his head to look at the girl, Yang He smiled and said, "This is the sister of the Sanshun brothers, right?" Called Xiaohui? ”

Dong Laohan hurriedly said: "Girl, kowtow to the military master, it was this military master who saved our family." ”

Yang He hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Sanshun and I are brothers, Xiaohui is my sister-in-law, what does my sister kowtow to when she sees her brother!" ”

Sighing softly, Yang He continued: "Uncle, I've been busy all this time, and I haven't seen you old, don't be surprised." ”

"I know you're busy, so many people rely on you to eat." Dong Laohan said with a smile.

Yang He smiled and said, "How is it?" All the work in the fields is done? ”

Dong Laohan said with a smile: "It's done, fortunately, these two boys, the grass has been cut, and when the weather is warm and warm, it's time to turn over the ground." ”

Yang He smiled and nodded, looked at Wei Shanjin and Wang Weiguo, Yang He suddenly said: "Are these two boys in love with Xiaohui sister, I don't know which one Xiaohui sister has a crush on?" When the time comes, my brother will call the shots for you. ”

Xiao Hui was ashamed when he heard this, and turned around and hid behind Dong Laohan.

Dong Laohan coughed lightly and said, "Our family, the Wei family and the Wang family are neighbors, and these two children grew up with Xiaohui since childhood. ”

Yang He smiled and nodded.

"Mr. Yang Qian, let's go to the old man's house and sit down, thanks to you, the house has been built, but it is a little simpler." Dong Laohan said.

Yang He smiled: "Okay, I'll go and take a look, and I will recognize the door." ”

When Dong Laohan heard this, he hurriedly took the lead in leading the way.

However, Yang He obviously ignored one thing, that is, having Dong Laohan present is different from not having Dong Laohan present.

Because most of these people who fled back from Guangning had only heard of Yang He, and not many people had really seen Yang He, and Yang He only brought Zhang Fengwu with him here, and did not bring soldiers to follow, so Yang He came to Xiayanghe Township and went around without being recognized or disturbed.

But Dong Laohan is very familiar with the people here, and when he saw Dong Laohan respectfully leading a young man back, these people naturally wondered, and some people inevitably came to inquire who this young man was.

When they heard that this young man was Yang He, the people quickly spread the news, and then a large number of people surrounded them, some knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and some kept saying words of thanks, Yang He was suddenly blocked and couldn't move.

At this moment, Yang He couldn't leave the crowd, so he couldn't stop greeting the people and saying some words of comfort.

And Zhang Fengwu, who was standing on the side, saw such a scene, and felt inexplicably shocked in his heart.

Zhang Fengwu has traveled everywhere over the years, and he has seen many magistrates, but he has never seen an official in any place who is so respected and loved by the people as Yang He.

It was only at this time that Zhang Fengwu understood why his eldest brother Zhang Fengqi looked at Yang He differently, and why Zhang Fengqi said that if he wanted to be promoted, he had to rely on Yang He's help.

With Yang He's prestige in the hearts of these people, if Yang He wanted to make some trouble for the officials in Funing County, these officials in Funing County would have to walk around without food.

Seeing that Yang He was surrounded by the crowd and couldn't move, Zhang Fengwu said with a smile: "You just let Yang Qian always talk to you here, this is not hospitality." ”

When the people heard this, they gossiped: "What I said is, how can you let Mr. Yang Qian speak in the open air, Mr. Yang Qian, come to my house and sit." ”

Yang He smiled when he heard this: "There are so many of you, whose house should I go to?" Folks, don't bother, I'm here today to take a look, see how the fields are being picked, and then see what crops are suitable for cultivation here.

There are so many of you talking together, and I can't hear it very clearly, so let's go to Uncle Dong's house, you can do whatever you have to do, wait for me to discuss it with Uncle Dong, and let Uncle Dong tell everyone, how about it? ”
