Chapter 762: Half a Year

Du Jinning encouraged them and said: "Think about it, whether it is the history of the Great Song Dynasty or the history of Japanese benzene in the future, as long as you talk about the tea ceremony, there will be your name, and the historical materials will record in detail that you went to Japanese benzene to promote the tea ceremony." This is a good thing that will go down in history, how many people can't think of it, and the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again. Think about your status since you came back from Japan......

Lu Jiuyuan and the three of them are not Buddhist figures, their research on Confucianism, their desire to establish the study of mind, not so much because they like Confucianism, but because the achievements of Confucianism can bring them fame and fortune.

Through this period of mutual debate in the newspapers, the science of mind has spread. But the one that has a greater impact and can bring them more fame and fortune is the tea ceremony. After all, Confucianism is only liked by readers, and only those who are interested in the study of Confucianism can be interested in it to a certain extent. But the tea ceremony is liked by everyone from the emperor to the common people, and the audience is much more than Confucianism. Now, it is about to spread to Japanese benzene.

Thinking about returning from Japan, as envoys to other countries to promote tea culture, they will not only get the attention and reward of the emperor, but also be treated as guests wherever they go in the future, and their blood will boil.

Du Jinning understood their psychology very well, and said: "From here to Japan, in fact, in terms of the road, it is similar to going to Gui Province, but you have to take a boat." Those who come from the Heavenly Empire, the Japanese people will be treated as guests, and they will not dare to neglect you in the slightest. If you're worried about the language barrier, aren't you accompanied by Master Watanabe? You can also learn some simple Japanese before you go. ”

"But Master Watanabe, they went back to the capital, how do they learn?" Peng Shicheng asked.

Du Jinning smiled: "I've learned." ”

"What?" The three of them exclaimed in unison, but thinking about Du Jinning's perverted memory, the three of them took it for granted.

"But I can only have simple conversations, and I don't understand complex ones." Du Jinning added.

She has such a good memory, learning languages is not a problem at all. In her previous life, she was proficient in several foreign languages, and Japanese was one of them.

There is a certain difference between ancient Japanese and modern Japanese, and during the few days she was with Watanabe, she kept learning the language from the three of them. By the time Watanabe and the others left, she had fully mastered Japanese at this time. However, in order not to show her stuff, when she talked to the three of them, she only said some simple conversations.

"Before you go to Beijing, I can teach you for a few days. When you go to the capital, ask Master Watanabe for advice. Du Jinning said again.

As soon as Du Jinning said this, the mentality of Lu Jiuyuan and the three of them settled down, and a strong sense of expectation and excitement followed.

Watanabe finally came to the Great Song Dynasty, the main purpose was to learn Buddhism, naturally they would not go back immediately, they not only studied in the temples near the capital, but also traveled to temples in other places, their whereabouts were uncertain, and the return date was not set. Therefore, Lu Jiuyuan and the others were not in a hurry to return to Beijing, but still stayed in Runzhou and followed Du Jinning to learn Japanese.

In this way, time flew by, and it was not until Du Jinning's late rice was harvested and the fields were full of green manure that Lu Jiuyuan and the others received the holy will and returned to the capital.

They will spend the New Year at their home in the capital, and after the year when the weather is a little warmer, they will set off for the east to travel to Japan.

The Hongroji officials, who accompanied Watanabe and the others to greet them, were surprised to hear that they could communicate with Watanabe and the others in fluent Japanese, and asked, "Mr. Lu, why do you speak Japanese?" ”

Lu Jiuyuan said with a smile: "I learned from Master Du in the past few months. ”

"How can Lord Du speak Japanese?" The officials of Honglu Temple became more and more strange.

Lu Jiuyuan pointed to the Watanabe mountains: "Naturally, I learned from Master Watanabe." ”

Seeing that the officials of Honglu Temple looked at him, Watanabe Shanye put his hands together and recited a Buddha, and said, "Lord Du Tianzong is a genius, we have only stayed in Runzhou for half a month, and he can communicate with us in simple Japanese language." ”

Du Jinning was admitted to the champion at the age of fifteen, and her unforgettable reputation also spread with the name of the champion, and the officials of Honglu Temple naturally knew about it. Although I was still shocked when I heard this, I didn't suspect that Master Watanabe and Lu Jiuyuan were lyingβ€”what good was lying? It's just a language.

But this incident also proved from the side that Du Jinning really did not forget, and the officials of Honglu Temple regarded this incident as a strange talk and talked about it with colleagues and families, and it didn't take long for this matter to reach Zhao Yu's ears.

Zhao Yu didn't think much about it, and sighed to Qi Bokun: "That kid is really smart." If only I had such a smart brain. ”

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. The emperor is shengming, and only then can a genius like Du Jinning appear on the emperor's enke and be used by the emperor. Qi Bokun patted the sycophants perfectly.

Sure enough, when Zhao Yu heard this, his heart was very refreshed, and the little jealousy and regret just now immediately disappeared.

In ancient times, although officials had a ten-day holiday, there was no annual leave. Without a holy decree, all officials are not allowed to leave the seat of office.

That year's New Year, Du Jinning spent it in Runzhou. In winter, the seedlings stopped growing, and there was no film to cover the greenhouse, so Du Jinning's experiment had already stopped when the warm rice was harvested.

But no one knew that she was harvesting the first round of hybrid rice she had developed in the experimental field next to her residence in Zhuangzi and Runzhou City. Because she is standing on the shoulders of giants, she uses Yuan Longping's theory to cultivate directly, and she started research as early as when she was in Gui Province, although she has not yet planted, she is very sure that this round of rice seeds is the hybrid rice seed she wants. If she didn't know the bottom of her heart at the beginning, she wouldn't have let go of Zhao Yu and Qi Muyuan, giving her three years to study new rice seeds.

Now, a year later, her rice seeds have been successfully cultivated. Next year, it will be possible to plant a small area and cultivate more rice seeds at the same time. In the following year, it can be planted in a large area in Runzhou, and after success, it can be promoted in the entire Jiangnan region. That's what she had planned.

However, after the autumn harvest, everyone else was idle, and rice seed research was no longer engaged, but Du Jinning was still very busy. She wanted to take advantage of the slack to organize the construction of water conservancy projects.

The topography of Runzhou, she also took the time to look at it in the past year, and she had already figured it out, and drew a topographic map. At this time, she drew the design of the water conservancy project and took it to Guan Jiatian.

"You've been busy for a year, so leave this to us." Guan Jiatian felt very sorry for his little junior brother.

Some people who don't know the truth don't know, and they always feel that Du Jinning stays in her farm all day long, doesn't care about the affairs of the yamen at all, and is just an official who eats idle food.

But Guan Jiatian and Tao Huahui knew how hard Du Jinning had worked this year and how much he had contributed to farming.

The double cropping rice was successfully planted, the early rice yielded four stones per mu, and the late rice reached a high yield of four and a half stones, and eight stones of grain were produced in one acre of field in a year, which was four times more than the previous two stones. By next year, once a large area of double-cropping rice is planted, they dare not think about how much grain the entire Great Song Dynasty will have.

Although Du Jinning has made a great contribution, they are also stained.

When Du Jinning's new rice seed is researched, they will also expire in three years, and with this political achievement, it will be no problem to be promoted.

So now Du Jinning wants to build water conservancy, and Guan Jiatian and Tao Huahui are rushing to do it.

Du Jinning is not a person who loves to be strong, and at the same time knows that Guan Jiatian and Tao Huahui need this political achievement, so he did not refuse, gave them the design drawing, and advised: "You must build it according to my drawing, which is also a part of my experiment in farming, whether it is good or not, you have to give it a try." This was also reported in front of the emperor at the beginning. ”
