Chapter 170: Old Books

"How many men did the Great Song Dynasty dispatch?" the general asked in disbelief, still incredulous.

"Less than ten thousand. ”

Prince Juri said solemnly.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

General Juri shouted in disbelief.

"If the general doesn't believe it, you can send someone to the prairie to investigate, and it will be clear. ”

Prince Guli sneered, "Xiao Wang vouches for his head, this matter is true, and now Meng Yuan Khan is probably dying, and his life will be short!"

As soon as Prince Juli said this, King Jureo's face was almost desperate.

This kind of thing can be known by sending someone to the prairie to inquire about it.

Since Prince Juli has said so, it means that this matter is true.

The funny thing is that the 500,000 Mengyuan iron cavalry were defeated.

They just wanted to launch 200,000 Guli troops to fight against the Great Song Dynasty.

The 200,000 Guli army is not enough to stuff the teeth of the Great Song Dynasty.

After a long time, King Guryeo reluctantly stood up, and finally made a decision, "Pass on the will of this king, immediately go to prepare treasures and horses, and this king will personally go to the capital of the Great Song Dynasty to apologize to the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"

"And, let Princess Zhien go with this king, and prepare to make peace with the Great Song Dynasty!"

After King Ghuryeo said these words, the whole person seemed to collapse on the throne at once, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

He twisted his neck stiffly, looking in the direction of the Jingshi of the Great Song Dynasty, King Guryeo seemed to see His Majesty the Emperor sitting in the palace.

Diwei is like the sky!

Take control of the seas!

It was precisely because of this man's words that his entire Guryo royal family trembled.

Collecting the treasures and good horses of the whole country of Guryeo may not be able to calm the anger of the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

forced him to offer his most beloved and beautiful daughter.

The thick humiliation filled the heart of King Guryeo.

This history will surely go down in history!

He, King Gryo, will be ridiculed as a mediocre and incompetent king.

But King Juryo knew that he had only this choice.

Otherwise, the Juryo royal family will cease to exist, and even the entire Juryeo Kingdom will be wiped off the map!

As soon as he thought of this, King Guryeo's heart was sad.

If he hadn't sent troops to seize the territory of the Fire Empire in a vain attempt to redraw the border with the Great Song Dynasty, he would not have suffered this catastrophe for no reason!

Because of his greed, he not only buried the only great grandmaster powerhouse in the country of Juli, but now he even lost his daughter!

......

Great Song Dynasty, Jingshi.

In the east of the city, in a newly built mansion.

This government is the yamen of the Academy of Sciences.

Two figures dressed in ordinary people's clothes appeared in front of the government office.

I was about to enter this palace.

"The Academy of Sciences is an important place, no trespassing!"

Two guards stopped the two.

One of the younger ones suddenly showed a gold medal.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

The guards were shocked.

"No need to say anything, I'm just here to visit, I don't want to alarm anyone. ”

The person holding the gold medal is none other than Zhao Lin.

On his side, Cao Zhengchun accompanied him.

"Yes. ”

The two guards cautiously stepped back.

The eyes are still very respectful.

Zhao Lin and Cao Zhengchun walked into the government of the Academy of Sciences.

The Academy of Sciences has just been established, and it seems very deserted in this government.

Even the servants have not yet been recruited.

Compared with the six yamen, it is undoubtedly far from the same.

However, Zhao Lin didn't care about this when he came on this trip, he wanted to see how the Academy of Sciences was progressing.

Soon, they were in the depths of the Academy of Sciences.

It has been possible to see the research of some officials of the Academy of Sciences.

Zhao Lin walked to the side of one of them.

The man was dressed as a farmer, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, covered in mud and dirty.

But his eyes were bright.

I'm staring intently ahead.

In front of him, there was a field with green seedlings growing on it.

"What are you doing here?"

Zhao Lin's expression was slightly surprised.

"These are newly bred seedlings. ”

The man dressed as a farmer said, "In a little while, this seedling will be able to grow rice." ”

At this time, Cao Zhengchun next to him couldn't help but sneer, "In the Academy of Sciences, how can there still be a field villager?"

He came with His Majesty this time, and originally wanted to have a good look at this academy.

After all, it can be so valued by His Majesty.

It's certainly not easy.

Unexpectedly, what he saw in front of him disappointed him.

"What's the difference between your seedlings and those grown in the farmer's rice field?"

Zhao Lin held his chin and asked.

"It's not the same. ”

The man dressed as a farmer waved his hand, and a hint of eagerness suddenly appeared in his eyes, "This is the seedlings that I have spent ten years cultivating with the best seeds, and their yield is about thirty percent higher than that of ordinary seedlings." ”

"Can you be three percent high?"

Zhao Lin's eyes lit up.

The people take food as the sky, and food is the foundation of all the people.

Historically, why did peasant uprisings occur?

All of them are due to various natural and man-made disasters, resulting in food shortages.

The common people had nothing to eat, so they could only rise up and rebel against the imperial court.

If we can increase grain production, we can solve the food problem.

That will undoubtedly make the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty more and more solid!

It's just that it takes a long time from cultivating seeds, to setting up test plots, to spreading.

It doesn't happen in a day.

"Keep up the good work. ”

Zhao Lin smiled and patted the man dressed as a farmer, and then turned around and walked away.

"This young man looks a little strange, could it be that he is a newcomer?"

The man dressed as a farmer was stunned, looking at Ling Chen's back as he left, with a puzzled look on his face.

Next, Zhao Lin inspected some other talents from the Academy of Sciences.

I have to say that the talents in this academy are really diverse.

There are those who study farming.

There are those who study arithmetic.

There are those who study architecture and specialize in building roads and bridges.

There are also those who study medicine.

......

It's really a trick and everything.

But the more this is the case, the more it is in line with Zhao Lin's intentions.

These are all within the scope of science and can promote the progress of the times.

"It's too hard!

Just as Zhao Lin was strolling in the courtyard, a scholar suddenly scratched his head and scratched his brain, looking like crazy, and shouted in his mouth.

In his hand, he holds an old book.

Slowly bumped into Zhao Lin!

Cao Zhengchun had already made a move, and he choked the scholar's neck with three strokes and five divisions, so that the latter could not move.

With just a slight movement of the palm of the hand, you can pinch off the scholar's brain.

"Forget it, let him go. ”

Zhao Lin waved his hand, feeling that Cao Zhengchun had overreacted.

Seeing that Cao Zhengchun was so fierce and vicious, the scholar was also frightened and completely sobered up.

"Don't panic," Zhao Lin signaled the scholar to calm down, and then said with a smile: "You just said that it was too difficult, what is too difficult?"

"That's right,"

Seeing that Zhao Lin seemed to be very good at talking, the scholar breathed a sigh of relief and handed the ancient book in his hand to Zhao Lin, "In the next week." It's the problem in this sutra, I've solved it for seven days and seven nights, but I'm still wrong, so my mentality is a little broken. ”

"Please forgive me for bumping into Your Excellency. ”

Zhao Lin opened the ancient book in his hand, and then took a cursory look.

This is an age-old mathematical puzzle.

The topic seems quite complicated.
