Chapter 885: Mr. Lion
The people of Ning'an County lined up in a loose line on the street in front of the yamen, slowly moving forward like a slow river, but after the woman shouted, the people in front retreated, and the people behind squeezed forward, desperately trying to see Fang Yun.
There are even parents who pressed their son's head directly on the ground, and whispered: "Don't kowtow to Lord Void Sage yet!"
In the Shengyuan Continent, civilians do not worship when they see officials, but it is natural to bow down to the holy position, and the virtual saint is the honorary holy position, so those scholars are willing to bow down regardless of whether they are big or small.
There is a locust tree on the left and right sides of the county office, and some people can't squeeze into the door, so they quickly climb to the tree and look down, and soon even the tree is full of people.
Fang Yun knew that overcrowding would lead to stampedes and even casualties, so he immediately held the official seal in his hand, coughed lightly, and said, "Please don't crowd to avoid hurting the candidates." ”
Fang Yun's words combined with the official seal to form a strange force, making everyone realize the danger of squeezing to the door, and they couldn't help but stop.
And some of the children instinctively felt grateful, because they were too thin and small to feel uncomfortable in the crowd, and just now everyone suddenly accelerated to the door, which made it even more uncomfortable.
Fang Yundao: "The love of the candidates' parents and the spirit of the candidates' endeavor are in the eyes of this county, but this place is not an ancestral temple after all, so it is inconvenient to pray for blessings." However, as the head of a county, this official cannot chill the hearts of the people. It is better to do this, I will seal the two stone lions in front of the county government today as 'Mr. Lion', and let the two Mr. Lion convey your prayers to me. I will let the servants string up your small belongings and hang them around the county government as a bead curtain for all the people. As for the money, it will be sent to the county literary institute and used for the literary academy, I wonder if you are willing to obey it?"
"That's what Lord Void Saint said!"
Everyone realized that there was something wrong with their previous behavior, and how could they throw something at the gate. So some of the people in front took the initiative to pick up the things on the ground and threw them at the lions on both sides.
The soldiers at the gate also hurriedly cleaned up, and in a short time, the two lions were covered with all kinds of purses, ornaments, herbs, and other items, piled up into two hills, and the poor lion's head was covered.
Fang Yun was inconvenient to stay at the door for more, and said goodbye to the people and returned to the county office.
Those who prayed for blessings were originally just following the crowd and had no opinions, but now they saw Fang Yun personally come forward and named the two lions Mr. Lion. They suddenly felt that since praying for blessings could attract false saints, maybe they could really help their children get good results in the imperial examination.
As a result, tens of thousands of people continued to line up to worship Mr. Lion.
The people who left spread the word about Mr. Lion a little, and the others couldn't sit still, and some people would take the test next year even if they didn't take the test this year, and it was definitely better to visit the shrine early than not to visit the shrine.
As a result, all families in Ning'an County who have students who want to participate in the imperial examination will take the students to the county government gate to worship Mr. Lion.
Seeing this scene, the officials of the Left Prime Minister Party in Ning'an County hated it. This kind of behavior is too easy to rally the people, and from today on, whoever wants to incite the people to oppose Fang Yun must be prepared to be burned down in the middle of the night.
Thereupon. Some officials began to fabricate charges against Fang Yun and impeach him. However, they themselves knew that as long as Fang Yun had the umbrella of the Void Saint. It is too unlikely that he will be brought down under such an excuse.
Fang Yun left from the back door of the county ya, and after handing over the drawings of agricultural tools to the Jinshi of Gongdian, he pointed out a few precautions. Then go to the field as usual.
After a few days of study and observation, Fang Yun finally discovered Zuo Xiang's viciousness.
In addition to planting some grain and vegetables in the suburbs, raising some pigs, cattle and sheep, there is no breeding and seedling base, and all the qiē needs to be purchased from other places.
These days, Fang Yun summed up the characteristics of the crops in the Shengyuan Continent, due to the abundant vitality, the yield of grain and vegetables per mu in the Shengyuan Continent is higher, but the problem is that the people here also eat more, especially the soldiers, cattle, or horses, eat more.
A farmer has long pointed out that the fertility of the land in the Shengyuan Continent is sufficient, but the growth of crops is poor, so the Shengyuan Continent attaches great importance to breeding. Unfortunately, the experience and technical reserves are insufficient, and the technologies such as hybridization and grafting are available but not perfect.
Fang Yun has found two directions for the development of the farmer.
One is the intensive cultivation that later generations admired, through guò to improve the growth environment of crops, to achieve the purpose of increasing grain production, which can be implemented in Ning'an County, only a small amount of land can be verified, and when it comes to the autumn harvest, it will produce results, and it will be highly rated in the palace test.
Therefore, Fang Yun decided to use the knowledge and experience of later generations to write a "Intensive Cultivation Book", which can be used from sowing to harvesting, from grain, to vegetables to fruit trees. Fang Yun actually wanted to write a "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", but the workload was too much, and it would be completed slowly later.
The second direction is to join hands with the Xu Xing family and personally guide the Xu Xing family to breed, and the first step is to improve the hybrid technology.
Near noon, Fang Yun and the farmer's staff stood at the edge of the field, looked at the farmer who was working, and said, "Wenxiong, contact the head of the Xu family on my behalf, and say, I want to plant some peas." There are only a few Confucians in the farm, so I won't mention it, but can you ask a farmer scholar who can help the plants ripen quickly? I know that there are some farmer scholars who have the ability to ripen plants. ”
"Grow peas, I know you want to study the art of hybridization, can't you study rice directly?" Xu Wenxiong was puzzled.
Fang Yun smiled: "You can help me contact me." ”
"Okay, wait a minute!"
Fang Yun naturally can't explain the reason, peas are self-pollinating, and they are pollinated by closed flowers, which are basically purebred in nature, and the relative traits are easy to distinguish, and can be steadily inherited. But rice is different, so it is best to use guò peas to find the law of plant inheritance in the early stage and lay the foundation for hybrid technology.
After a short time, Fang Yun contacted the head of the Xu family, and after several hours of communication, he finally decided to let a senior farmer university scholar help him choose early-maturing peas.
The growth cycle of early-maturing peas is only a little more than two months, and if you get the help of a farmer's scholar, the growth cycle can be reduced to twenty days.
Once the law of plant inheritance is mastered, the farming technology will surely advance by leaps and bounds, and if someone is born with a similar text, or condensed into a related agricultural book, the breeding ability will reach the extreme, and it is possible to double or even quadruple the grain production in a few years!
In the event that a super seed was cultivated by using the power of the Holy Power or the Demon Realm, it would be unimaginable for the Terrans to be of great use.
At that time, the food problem of the human race will be completely solved, and then fertility will be encouraged, and the population will be doubled continuously in a few decades, and the strength will grow wildly.
Fang Yun carefully calculated, if he could double the grain production of the human race, the merit would be no less than the lifetime merit of an ordinary half-saint, and if he could quadruple it, the merit would be close to that of the sub-saint!
If there is more food, the total population will increase, the number of scholars will also increase, and the total amount of talent will increase, and there will be more and more high-level scholars.
Fang Yun looked at the blue sky in front of him, his fists clenched gently, the peas he planted would become the key to supporting the great development of the human race. (To be continued......)
