As the first batch of people who had the courage to eat crabs, Guo Bai is now considered to have grown up in his own Zhuangzi, showing a great interest in farming that makes Master Guo and Zhuangtou happy.

The rice sprouted from the armpits, the sprouts grew up, and the rice ears grew, which surprised Guo Bai. Like a big kid, he found the right toy and ran around the fields all day long, so he met a lot of people who came to watch the regenerated rice, and made a few good friends.

"Haha, I didn't expect to have such a harvest after reading a script, this is unbelievable." Guo Bai looked at the barn full of newly harvested rice, and he couldn't help himself.

Guo Baixin's friend Huang Chen touched his chin and asked, "You say, who is this writer?" If he is an old farmer who has accumulated years, how can he write a script? If he is a scholar, how can he know how to farm and come up with such a good method? If he had such a skill, why didn't he go to work in the Ministry of Works, but instead wrote the method in a book and let everyone learn it? ”

The five or six people present all frowned.

They also have such doubts.

I want to read the script, and I know that regenerative rice can really be planted and have a huge harvest, and there is no one who does not have these doubts in his heart.

"This must be a hermit, a true hermit who wants to benefit the people and does not want to leave a name." One said in a very affirmative tone.

Although there was a disagreement on this statement, not a single one raised an objection.

After all, everyone has done this, and they really don't leave a name, so it's really unreasonable to say what intentions this person has.

"I'm going to buy two more sets of scripts and keep them as heirlooms for future generations." A humane who thinks farther.

"Yes, yes, I think that way, too." Another chimed in, "Although there are a lot of agricultural books, some of them are also quite useful, and you can learn a lot about agricultural affairs after reading them." But that kind of book can't even be read by people like me, let alone children? The words of "Farming" are different, which makes people's blood boil and they can't bear to release the volume. Before I knew it, I couldn't wait to try the methods taught in the book immediately. What is edutainment? It's all about entertaining and educating. I really have to let the old guys in Guozijian take a good look, lest they always think that Lao Tzu is the best in the world. ”

……

Although compared to the population of the entire capital, there are not many people who like to read scripts, and even fewer people like Guo Bai pay attention to "The Story of Farming", and even fewer people are interested in exploring the regenerative rice written in the book.

But as mentioned earlier, anyone with a little money in the family will buy land as a stable investment. These people can not read the script, but the abnormal movement in the rice fields cannot hide their eyes.

Everyone's farmland is in the suburbs, and when you pass by by a horse-drawn carriage, you may suddenly find a field with green grass seedlings in the harvested rice field, which makes people who have fields at home can't help but get out of the car to ask what is going on. Some responsible village leaders, when they see that other people's farmland has planted regenerative rice, will naturally run over to ask what happened, and then report it to the owner.

As a result, more and more people knew about regenerated rice, which led to everyone being interested in "Farming" and going to the bookstore to buy books. And with the harvest of regenerative rice, this book has caused a great sensation in the capital. The 1,200 copies printed by Zhuang Yue have long been sold out, and the additional 500 copies are not enough to sell. After Zhuang Yue asked Du Jinning, he continued to print.

The book and the successful cultivation of regenerated rice in the rice fields finally attracted the attention of the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

"The agricultural knowledge quoted in the "Farming Record" is very accurate, and the idea of regenerative rice is even more impressive, and it has proved to be successful. This writer is amazing. One of the officials said.

"yes, I don't know who wrote it. You say, it can't be any adult in our Ministry of Works, right? ”

For the latter statement, everyone scoffed: "How is it possible? ”

They really have such a talent in the Ministry of Industry, and they have already made suggestions to the emperor through the strongholds, so as to obtain great political achievements, how can they be an unsung hero? When you become an official, don't you all want to climb up? Although climbing up is not necessarily for the sake of power and money, no capable person does not want to stand taller and see further. That means that you have more power to speak, and you can better implement your own policies, without having to listen to the blind command of someone who is not as capable as you.

Guan Lehe held a copy of "Farming Notes", looked at the text on it, frowned slightly, thoughtful.

"What, Master Guan, what do you think?" A colleague asked.

Guan Lehe came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I think that the appearance of this regenerative rice is a great thing for our Great Song Dynasty. We have to report to the emperor. ”

At this time, Director Chen, who had been silent, spoke: "Everyone is happy with this, but I don't think it's a good thing. There is a cloud in the Book of Han: "It is very expensive and hurts the people; It is very cheap and hurts the peasants. If the people are injured, they will be scattered, and if the peasants are injured, the country will be poor. It can be seen that it is not a good thing to have more production in the rice fields. Whether to promote regenerative rice needs to be cautious. This writer did not go through our Ministry of Industry to publish such an article without authorization, which led to an increase in grain production and caused the people to follow suit, and in my opinion, his behavior has constituted a crime of disrupting state affairs. I suggest that we send someone to control him, and then deal with him. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

Everyone felt that what Director Chen said was wrong, but they couldn't refute it.

"Director Chen's words are too alarmist." Guan Lehe looked at him and said coldly, "I haven't heard that the increase in grain production is not a good thing, but a bad thing. ”

"I didn't hear that you were lonely." Director Chen snorted coldly and said, "The grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, and it is ancient. As grain production increases, the price of rice will naturally fall, and the grain that farmers have worked so hard to grow cannot be sold. ”

“……”

The officials present were lost in thought.

Seeing that everyone was stopped by themselves, Master Chen became more and more proud.

He said: "That word was printed and sold without the consent of the government, and the impact was very great, and I don't know what the consequences will be in the future." This matter must be known to the emperor. ”

When he said this, he glanced at the old Ministry of Works, but he secretly made up his mind to let his brother play the Ming Shengshang tomorrow.

He has a low grade and is not qualified to go to court, otherwise how could he give this credit to his brother?

At this time, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu said loudly: "This matter needs to be cautious, and the emperor will not be alarmed for the time being." We will wait for the matter to be clarified and discussed internally. ”
