Chapter 490: A Confrontation That Gradually Turns Away

Bian Gong also couldn't get used to what Li Mengyang did, and he also voiced his support for He Jingming: "Brother Xianji, we and His Royal Highness King Wu are not enemies of life and death, and King Wu also promised that if he can be convinced, the officials and gentry can also take back their lives by paying food together." Why did Bai Yanliang dare to make noise and provoke right and wrong at will? ”

Li Mengyang saw sweat on his forehead, if it was just He Jingming, he would turn his face, and if he added Bian Gong, the petition team would be split in an instant! He glanced at Zhu Yingdeng out of the corner of his eye, and Zhu Yingdeng had no choice but to stand up and speak: "Yanshi, this matter has nothing to do with Xianji, it should be Bai Yanliang's opinion." Bai Yanliang! Shut up! Say one more word to get you out! ”

Bai Yanliang saw that Li Mengyang didn't come out, so he had to sit down quietly. Li Mengyang reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Zhong Mo, Yan Shi, sit down, let's sit down with His Royal Highness King Wu and discuss." ”

Hua Houwei had a heart attack, but He Jingming and Li Mengyang were just a little discordant, and they were far from splitting, so they couldn't press them together anymore, right? Therefore, Hua Houwei tried his best to suppress his anger and arched his hand towards He Jingming and Bian Gong: "Thank you two for speaking up!" ”

He Jingming and Bian Gong panicked??????????????? Hurriedly stood up and saluted back: "Don't dare, don't dare, the road is uneven and draws a sword to help, not to mention that we are all saints, how can we reverse black and white and stand by?" ”

Li Mengyang's face was very ugly, but after all, he had no choice but to bow his head and remain silent. Hua Houwei glanced at him and said to He Jingming: "Sit down and talk about it, we have to have rules." Mr. He, the road is long, and I will seek it up and down. Lone thinks that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, does Mr. think so? ”

He Jingming's eyes lit up, and he muttered this sentence: "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth? Practice is the only criterion for testing truth! Good! The prince's words are sudden! What do the two of them think? ”

A happy smile appeared on Bian Gong's face, and he nodded frequently: "One word is heaven-shattering!" It should be so, it should be so. ”

Zhu Yingdeng frowned: "This, how can the celestial and human induction be seen with the naked eye?" I, I don't agree. ”

Li Mengyang praised calmly: "Good! The prince is really wise, and according to what the prince said, the following discussion will be handled accordingly. ”

Hua Houwei's face slowly eased, and he clapped his hands: "Come on, bring the things prepared by the Lonely King." ”

Several guards put a few things on the table, and Hua Houwei pointed to the first one: "This is the latest breed of good seeds, rice seeds that yield thousands of catties per mu in Shangtian!" The use of the optimal breeding method to select rice seeds, and constantly cross with other rice varieties, drought resistance and pest resistance wood can also reach a yield of 500 catties per mu in the field. ”

Zhu Yingdeng nodded: "The prince is kind-hearted, and the officials admire him." But what does this have to do with industry? ”

Hua Houwei shook his head, pointed to the beakers, measuring cups, and Tianping experimental supplies on the table and said, "Where do you get these accurate measuring tools without industry?" Without precise data, how can we know if rice seeds are good? These are all benefits of industry! ”

Zhu Yingdeng pouted and didn't say anything more. We don't understand, what you say is what you say, what else can we do?

Hua Houwei smiled and pointed to the second one: "This is an insecticide!" It can be sprayed in farmland to prevent insects from causing damage, so as to increase grain production! ”

Insecticide? It's unheard of! He Jingming asked hesitantly: "The locust plague is a warning from heaven that the king has made a mistake in governance, how can he still use medicine?" ”

Hua Houwei's grandfather was an authentic farmer in his previous life, and he played with the preparation of biopesticides at his grandfather's house. What garlic, insecticidal chrysanthemum, plantain, can't compare to chemical pesticides, but it's cheap! He smiled reservedly: "Why not? Locusts can't be killed for the time being, but there is still no problem with aphids, mole crickets and other insects! Look, this one on the ground is a watering can, and the farmer carries it on his back and doesn't spray five acres of land a day? ”

Bian Gong had been a pro-people official, and he asked in surprise at the moment: "Lord Wang, wouldn't this be able to increase production again?" ”

"Well, pests and diseases are very harmful to crops, and with these pesticides, we can definitely increase yields a part. Mr. Bian, can this insecticide still get into your eyes? ”

Li Mengyang's heart is sinking more and more, seeing that the attitudes of He Jingming and Bian Gong are gradually changing, is this time the action really going to end without a problem? couldn't turn his gaze to Bai Yanliang, who was indignant in the audience, Bai Yanliang also happened to look at Li Mengyang at this moment, the two looked at each other, and sparks were flying!

Bai Yanliang understood it and started small movements. On the stage, Hua Houwei picked up the third piece and shook his head with emotion: "??????????????? Or the craftsmanship of my Han family's skilled craftsmen is high! This is a watch provided by the research institute and made by Yangzhou jewelry craftsmen! Accurate timekeeping, no more than two minutes a day. Li Shanchang, can this clock on the wrist be useful? ”

Li Shanchang sighed in his heart, knowing that the hope was getting slimmer and slimmer. He stood up and took the watch with both hands and looked at it carefully. The hand is heavy, with a stainless steel gold-plated case and fluorite inlays on twelve points on the dial, with three hands of varying lengths moving around the center.

Bian Gong praised: "Skillful, it can be of great use when fighting!" ”

Hua Houwei nodded: "Yes, it plays a great role when fighting." But it is not only used for war, such as court meetings, dam building, city repair, etc., time can be unified, how much effort can be saved? ”

Li Mengyang respectfully put the watch back on the table and returned to his seat: "It's really useful!" However, it is not enough to explain the necessity of the gentry to pay the grain in one piece. ”

Hua Houwei nodded with a reluctant smile: "Unifying understanding is not an overnight effort, or okay, Li Shanchang, why is it inappropriate for you to talk about the integration of officials and gentry to pay for food?" ”

This trick is a bit ruthless, no matter what, Li Mengyang is a humble gentleman, a scholar who worries about the world first, how can he be profitable?

Of course, Li Mengyang would not express it directly, he looked at the tens of thousands of students in the audience, and said affectionately: "Lord Wang, look at these students!" Which one is not a cold window to read hard iron inkstone grinding through? The pillars of the country are all from these students, how can they not be treated well? ”

Hua Houwei was expressionless, just nodded: "Go on!" ”

"Lord Wang, there are many students from poor families, if this favor given by the imperial court is canceled once, how many students will have to interrupt their studies, how can Wendao prosper?"

Hua Houwei shook his head: "The harm outweighs the good!" This has a major loophole and must change! First, the truly poor do not get the benefits. Second, the contribution after the lifting is uncontrollable. Third, the fourth book and the fifth classics account for too much scientific research, which is not beneficial to the country. ”

He Jingming lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and asked, "The prince's officials and gentry can avoid these drawbacks by paying food in one piece?" ”

Hua Houwei nodded: "It's okay at present, but it needs to be adjusted in the future!" There has never been a system that lasts forever, only a policy of continuous optimization. Mr. He, after the officials and gentry paid the grain in one piece, the income of the imperial court increased, and they could make overall arrangements to take care of the truly poor. The most important thing is to protect the people from being exploited by traitors to take advantage of the loopholes in the system and swallow up the people's fields. And people's talents are different, some people are suitable for the Four Books and Five Classics, and some people are suitable for Gexue, which gives students an extra way out, isn't it good? ”

When these words came out, the students below immediately turned their heads and ears. Yes, the inch is long and the ruler is short, the poetry is not good, the scriptures are not good, and there are many ways out, which is a good thing! In any case, Gexue is also a study that extends from the knowledge of things, and it can be regarded as an authentic Confucian study with a strong roots.

Bian Gong frowned: "What if those who are in the middle of the examination fail?" Being able to be lifted has already consumed all the wealth of the family or even the family, and the favor is canceled, what should they do? ”

This is the group of people who are really hit by the officials and gentry! All the foreshadowing is the moment when the mystery is solved. Hua Houwei smiled and looked at the countless eyes gathered in the audience: "Them? If you fail the temple exam??????????????? In order to open the general examination of Gexue. After passing the examination, they can be assigned to various departments under the general yamen. ”

Li Mengyang pressed step by step: "What if I can't pass the big exam?" ”

Hua Houwei smiled: "The general manager provides room and board, and there is pocket money every month, for three years, and those who meet the standards can also be granted various positions in the general yamen." Ladies and gentlemen, to open up the general yamen to carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, a large number of talents who are interested in this need to work together to expand the territory of the Han family. Not to mention anything else, do you know about the new Penglai? The territory here is vast and rich in minerals, comparable to a territory of one and a half Ming Dynasty, gold, silver, copper and iron are everywhere, and the end is a treasure land that can be passed down to future generations. The general manager has organized people to open up, but unfortunately for such a vast place, this person is not even as good as pepper noodles. ”

Airplanes! Hua Houwei's crisp voice fell, arousing the exclamations of tens of thousands of students. The Chinese's enthusiasm for land is incomprehensible to other ethnic groups, and wives and children are hot and blessed, and they all need a lot of land to bear.

He Jingming asked in surprise: "A territory of one and a half Da Ming?" What is the climate like? ”

Hua Houwei smiled slightly: "There is no winter in most areas, and even a small number of places with distinct seasons are also the opposite of the Ming Dynasty, which can be said to be magical." Come on, bring the kangaroos! ”

Not! There was an exclamation from the audience! Oh my god! The rat is a sperm! A large, muscular rat was led up to a high platform. Hua Houwei walked over and grabbed its ears, the kangaroo was dissatisfied with its head, was kicked by the guard next to it, and hurriedly showed a flattering smile and rubbed it on Hua Houwei.

Hua Houwei greeted He Qian: "He Qian, come, try." ”

He Qian trembled and slowly approached the kangaroo, but was frightened by the kangaroo's brooding bag in the lower abdomen.

Hua Hou Wei laughed: "This is a nursery bag, after the kangaroo gives birth to a wallaby, it will use the nursery bag to raise the wallaby." This thing is not a mouse that a cat can catch, it is so tight that it can run out of a hundred miles in half an hour. But don't eat meat, only eat some grass and leaves, don't be afraid. ”

He Qian smiled, after all, he was a young man, and his curiosity was very strong. I had the courage to touch the head of the big kangaroo, and then the head of the little kangaroo, and laughed like a child!
