The next day, Shen Sanwen packed up his description and went straight to the court, he was going to participate in the early court again.

Power corrupts people's hearts and can only be restrained by people. Cui Xuan still has a brotherly relationship with him at this time, and he also has the righteousness of a monarch and a minister, if it is not necessary, he really can't bear to go to the future situation.

Even if the princess supports other forces, she will be inferior, as long as Cui Xuan only rebels, the new minister may not dare to fight with him, so he still has to go out in person.

Before Wu Zetian arrived, a group of people muttered quietly, and the descendants had already gathered around Shen Sanwen. Everyone knows that Shen Sanwen has never liked to participate in political affairs, and he has not set foot in the court for many years. In the past ten days, Luoyang has talked about him a lot, especially breaking the statement, changing from a stable update to a casual update, which can be seen that there is something else important.

Song Jing said very considerately, "What did Master Ma play today?" But you need the words of your ministers. The horse can be informed, and the ministers can do it for them. ”

Naturally, others didn't dare to say this, but Song Jing and Shen Sanwen had a close relationship, which was unspeakable.

Shen San asked: "Today's matter is very important, and I must personally report it, thank you Lord Song." ”

Song Jing smiled happily, if there is a big event, there will be a great achievement, he and the princess's mansion share the honor and disgrace, naturally will not stay out of the matter, "The horse is polite, the minister is waiting to make meritorious service with the horse." ”

Shen Sanwen looked at him and smiled, and after a while, he knew that things were not so easy.

Wu Zetian was surrounded by a group of people, mighty and extraordinary, and he was high in the hall. Although he saw Shen Sanwen standing straight, Wu Zetian was not much new, this kid, it is estimated that he will have to run away again in a week at most.

Wu Zetian's body is really healthy, and his spirit looks better than that of a young man, Shen San thought to himself.

The chamberlain screamed loudly, and he retreated from the court without having anything to do.

Shen Sanwen had already said that there was something important before, and the others did not come forward when they saw the opportunity, so they still had to give the face they should give. At the beginning of the last dynasty, everyone's thinking was the most active, and it must be left to important things.

Shen Sanwen took out the recital he had written overnight and submitted it, "The minister has something important to play, and it is related to the survival of the Great Zhou." ”

Wu Zetian's heart was unhappy, and the hall was even more silent.

Song Jing smacked his tongue secretly, I'm a good girl, I can't use it indiscriminately for survival. Now that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is enough food, where did they come to die? His Majesty is no longer as cautious as he used to be, and averse to exaggeration. The horse has not been in the court for a long time, but he also knows the inside story, and the next court must be reminded.

Wu Zetian picked up the fold and flipped through it, "Stop developing cultivated land?" Returning land to reforestation? ”

There was already an uproar down there.

Nowadays, the people live and work in peace and contentment, relying on the power of the land, and the cultivated land is vast, and there is no good land in the hands of these officials who can go to the court. If the land is returned, naturally you can't hit the Yongye Tian in the hands of the people, they will all be affected!

Song Jing was also a little uncomfortable in his heart, and finally bought some land with some savings, which can be regarded as seeking a benefit for the family, and he was about to lose it in a blink of an eye.

But is this possible?

No way.

Seeing the back, Wu Zetian frowned slightly, although it was only for a moment, it had been captured by the people below.

The ministers exchanged glances and shook their heads, obviously having made up their minds that as a courtier, they would share their worries with His Majesty, and this afforestation was very inappropriate.

Wu Zetian said again, "Today's people are doing evil, and future generations will repay their debts?" Exhausting the land, drought and flood do not stop? ”

"Hahahaha."

Most of the people in the court were quite reserved, but from the moment His Majesty took the lead in smiling, they also began to laugh nonstop.

The imperial court has always persuaded farmers to cultivate more land to be rich, and Shen Sanwen actually deducted the cause of drought and flood on the soil power so ridiculously, it is ridiculous!

Someone has come out of the list, depending on the costume should be the Gyeonggi five-grade civil official, "Minister Pei Zhen, who has studied the theory of earth power, is willing to solve the doubts for the horse." ”

Shen Sanwen glanced at him coldly, disdainful of him, "Your Majesty thinks the minister is joking?" ”

Wu Zetian took the fold, "Afforestation can reduce natural disasters?" From the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty and then to the Zhou Dynasty, natural disasters did occur from time to time, but it cannot be said that they were intensifying. The major anti-kings of the Sui Dynasty were very devastating, and there was no major disaster in the early Tang Dynasty. ”

Shen San asked and was about to respond, but someone came out again, "Why don't you listen to the power of the earth?" Maybe there's a misunderstanding. ”

Obviously, he has a friendship with Pei Zhen and wants to give his friend a chance to perform.

Shen Sanwen nodded, and Pei Zhen hurriedly came out. Well said, that's a credit. If he can make a good impression on the colt again, it will not be in vain that he takes the initiative to stand up and show his face once, many colleagues look at the peasants with contempt, and the cold eyes of the colt just now are scary enough.

"The minister's family has relatives and friends who are farmers, so they have a certain understanding of this matter. At four o'clock, the recovery of all things in spring is suitable for sowing, in summer to take care of seedlings, weeding and fertilizing, and in autumn to harvest a year's efforts. In winter, the temperature is low, and few crops can grow, so it is suitable for irrigation and fertilization to plough the land, so that the land can be cultivated and the soil can be warmed.

Soil fertility is the fertility that provides the nutrients necessary for the growth of crops.

Just as people need to eat, rice seedlings also need fertility to grow. Fertile land, rice is full and crystal clear, barren land, it is difficult to survive, and rice is thin.

Barren land needs to be fertilized every year to maintain soil fertility. Fertile land, once every three or five years, can meet the needs.

Soil fertility has nothing to do with trees, arable land needs sufficient sunlight, and trees will block the sun, so it is not suitable for planting around arable land. ”

After speaking, I glanced around quite proudly, you pampered people definitely don't have the details I understand.

There are many people who think so, although they have never farmed, and have seen some of them, but they don't really have a detailed understanding of him. Readers, fertilization must be a detour, let alone inquire about the specific season of fertilization.

Wu Zetian didn't praise this person, but looked at Shen San and asked, "You can talk about this matter." ”

Shen San asked and looked at the ministers, "It is very rare for Lord Pei to know about farming, and what he said is not wrong. ”

Pei Zhen: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Since the earth power has nothing to do with the trees, then this matter should end here, and everyone is quietly relieved.

Shen Sanwen continued, "But what you know is only one type of earth power. ”

Pei Zhen was stunned, you know how to farm with a hammer, you are open-mouthed, it seems that you are ready to use strong words, and you are still widely famous, "Is the horse serious?" ”

Shen San asked: "Of course, this official is well-read, so he naturally knows more than Master Pei, so you don't have to be ashamed." ”

The whole hall was in an uproar.

It's not because of Shen San's self-effacing words, but for his sentence, of course, a person who is not diligent in his limbs and does not distinguish between grains and grains actually came to tell everyone about the strength of the earth? Where did you get the courage, of course?

Some people immediately said angrily, "Since ancient times, how many people who have been able to write books and establish legacies will give up their careers and do not respect the words of the saints to farm." Aren't you afraid of smiling and generous? ”

The court of the Great Zhou Dynasty was different from the Ming and Qing dynasties after the scholars were dogmatized, and they did not dare to say a word of heavy words in front of the emperor. On the contrary, the court debate is very intense, as long as it is not aimed at the emperor, and the debate is won, it will leave a good impression on His Majesty.

Even, some of the people in charge of admonition, their duty is to face the emperor. Above the court, many important ministers are trusted because they have the means to strongly oppose His Majesty and resolutely refuse to obey. For example, Di Renjie and Lai Junchen, one writer and one martial arts, one loyal and one traitor, are worth learning from.

The Wu Sansi brothers and Wu Dan are regarded as pus, and they are inseparable from their obedience to everything.

No matter what Shen Sanwen's status is in the future, pleasing the current emperor is the most important thing.

Shen San asked, "Yes, isn't Tao Yuanming?" Under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums, the South Mountain appears leisurely. Tao Yuanming resigned and went into hiding, and he personally picked chrysanthemums, and it was not very easy to water and weed. He can write a book and say that there is no objection, right? ”

Immediately, another passer-by A came out to express his objections, "Although Tao Yuanming said that he lived in seclusion, he did not say that he personally cultivated to support himself, he was admired by others, and a few buckets of rice were often sent."

Agronomy is also broad and profound, the sons of the Warring States period rose together, a hundred flowers bloomed, but there is a saying of agriculture, but Qin Shi Huang burned books and pit Confucianism, and there was no longer an agricultural ceremony. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism alone, and the scholars were even more dedicated to imitating the sages, and the agricultural classics that came out since then did not exceed the first-hand skills.

Dare to ask who wrote the book that the colt reads? ”

Shen San asked: "I did it."

I have been reading hard since I was a child, reading poetry and books, proficient in the way of governing the country, Zhou Yi metaphysics, and also the director of the Ministry of Literature, in one year, I wrote 6 million words, I can write books and speak, there is no dispute.

Scholars are seeking fame, I only hope that the world is peaceful, the people have food and clothing, so three years did not go to the early dynasty time, personally studied, and now finally succeeded, it is really blessed by God, I can't bear to suffer the people of my Great Zhou. ”

Ministers: "..."

There are such brazen people in the world!

Song Jing: I, you have to drink saliva by someone, and you also farm your own land.

Naturally, no one believed it.

If you want to say that he let people farm, watch it yourself, and some people believe it, you farm the land yourself, personally...

Don't brag about it.

Wu Zetian raised his forehead, "Say the point." ”

Don't talk about it, some don't.

Shen San asked again, "This starts with the origin of all things. ”

Everyone: "..."

Thou hast cultivated the land and brought forth the origin of all things.

Shen San asked: "All things complete their own cycles in this world, and the cycle repeats, the cycle repeats, the beginning is the end, and the end is the beginning."

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the next day it rises again in the east for eternity, which is the cycle of the sun.

The rain transpires, condenses and turns into clouds, and the clouds fall into rain under their burden, and the upper and lower falls This is the cycle of water.

Rice crops are planted in spring, grow in summer, and grow in autumn, and rice can also be harvested, and farmers will put rice into the ground in the spring of the next year.

Just like human beings, they learn the road at an early age, give birth to children and grandchildren when they become adults, and grow old without regrets in their later years, but the descendants are endless, and human beings are also endless.

This is the origin of all things. ”

Pei Zhen: "What does this have to do with the earth's power?" ”

Everyone: "What does this have to do with not cultivating the land and planting trees instead?" ”

Shen San asked, "Don't worry, listen to me slowly."

After three years of contemplation, I finally discovered the cycle of earth power, and knew the secret of fertility loss and the root cause of natural and man-made disasters. ”

Many people in the hall were stunned by this, and some people scoffed, that is the root cause of natural disasters, do you still know how to avoid natural disasters, and they will not happen in the future?

Shen Sanwen glanced at everyone, "You guessed right, doing what I said can indeed greatly reduce the occurrence of natural disasters." ”

Now everyone doesn't believe it, yes, it's all, including people like Song Jing who have worked with him for a long time.

This cowhide is so big that no one has dared to say it throughout the ages.

Everyone disdains to say another word, crazy, I don't know how thick the sky is, I will start to play Your Majesty when I finish speaking, don't let such people come to the court again, and pollute the ears of the ministers, the horse is not an official who can be learned by virtue of seriousness.

Shen San asked: Blame me for being handsome.

Many people secretly slander and have a false appearance.

A few years ago, I was a serious colt, but now, I give you a disgusted little look and think for yourself.

Shen Sanwen turned a blind eye to the full house's doubts, "Since everyone is more interested in natural disasters, let's start with natural disasters."

The natural disasters I am going to talk about here are the same problem as the earth's strength.

There are four types of natural disasters: earthquakes, volcanoes, typhoons, tsunamis, droughts, and floods.

Earthquake volcanoes are the cyclic movement of the land, which is unavoidable, but there are already ground motion instruments that can detect it, so let's not talk about it for the time being.

Typhoons and tsunamis are a cycle of wind, which is common in Yazhou and the southern coast, mostly in summer and autumn, and occurs periodically when the pressure difference between land and sea is too large.

I'm talking about drought and flooding, which is the water cycle.

In some places, there has been a drought for many years, and the people's stock is exhausted.

When the flood starts, the homes are destroyed, the livestock are all destroyed, the flood recedes, and the people and animals who die in the flood will bring all kinds of diseases and even plagues, and no one dares to eat other food rashly, even if the seedlings are lucky to survive, there is no way to survive before the harvest.

When the imperial court is supported by the people, it has the obligation to provide disaster relief and reassure the people, and at least 20 percent of the annual investment is devoted to disaster relief.

But if it is a natural disaster every year, natural disasters everywhere, no one can bear it.

To talk about drought, we must first know the water table.

The groundwater level is the height of the groundwater in a place, and when the well is dug to a certain depth, the water can be taken directly, which is the water level of the flowing water, and the height of the water contained in the land but there is no way to form the water flow, which I call the groundwater level.

Drought is a lack of water in the land. The fields have limited water storage and low groundwater levels, leaving crops unable to obtain the water they need.

And the forest tree is the key to it, the tree, can be a good storage of water, and even warm the water source.

Have you ever heard of a dead seedling, or a dead tree? If there is, it will only be in the northern land of the Turks, the land where the oasis becomes a desert, and the good land, not a single tree will be left, and finally the land will become gravel, and no more creatures can grow, not to mention plants, trees, and people, it will be difficult for them to survive.

You may be wondering, why trees?

First of all, judging from the appearance, the hunting ground knows that where the trees are lush, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, every inch of the ground will be moist. Even if there is a single tree, the surrounding land is the wettest during the drought.

Secondly, it is the result of my own research for a long time. The roots of a tree go deep into the ground, and an old tree, no matter how weak the branches and leaves above it, will always be firmly rooted in the ground, extending infinitely to the surroundings and the ground, and the roots of an eight-foot tree can even have eighteen or twenty-eight feet.

As we all know, wood needs to be dried before it can be used, and there is a lot of water in wood, and the water we irrigate is used for the land.

It is through the roots that the tree absorbs this water.

Trees need water, and their roots help to block the flow of water, trapping a lot of it. As deep as the roots of the tree are, there is as much water as it is locked in the vicinity.

And the ability of one tree is limited, it needs a forest, and many trees need to work together.

Because the sun will always shine on this land, bringing us warmth, and at the same time, the heat will also evaporate the water on the surface!

The water mark will keep falling!

As for the seedlings, their roots are only a finger, and the water they can absorb is very limited, and when the water level is low, they will dry up, just as people will die of thirst when they lack water.

Trees, which also serve another purpose, are to shade the ground and cover the surface so that the sun can only reach their leaves, keeping the ground moist.

Where there are forests, the water level on the ground will be high.

However, when people go to higher places, water flows lower places, and the high water level in the forest area will flow around, so that the water level of a place can be maintained.

So, it is the forest that protects the vegetation in the surrounding cultivated land. ”

After saying a long paragraph, Shen Sanwen's mouth was dry, and everyone was already dumbfounded.

Everyone understands everything he says.

The water flows downward, you know.

Trees shade the sun, I know.

The roots of the trees are complex and far-reaching, and the roots of the seedlings are shallow, and they understand.

If he didn't understand, he understood the two sentences.

But all of this is combined, and no one has ever imagined!

It's deafening.

Wu Zetian ordered someone to watch the tea, and at the same time asked the opinions of the ministers, "What do the Qing family think?" ”

Song Jing took the lead in seconding the proposal, "The minister thinks that the horse is far-sighted and has great wisdom, and he is willing to listen to the horse's dispatch." ”

Lin Lin scattered a group of people who agreed, and Shen San's words were indeed very reasonable.

However, there are also many people who have doubts, is it really because of the trees, so the surface water level is high?

I don't know if I can't jump to conclusions.

The level of these courtiers in the Great Zhou is still there.

Pei Zhen asked unwillingly, "Then what does this have to do with the earth's strength?" If this level exists, why is the conservation of forests limited to one place? ”

Shen Sanwen shook his head, although this person has some knowledge, but his personality is not good enough, he is too strong to control, and his intelligence is far worse than himself.

"Why not maintain the water level throughout the day? Because there are mountains, there are mountains. The rocks beneath the mountains cut off the flow of surface water, and a forest only needs to maintain a relatively enclosed water level.

The latter question is related to the relationship between the land and the trees and seedlings.

The land contains three things: acidic substances, alkaline substances, and water.

Plants absorb acids and alkalis from the soil through their roots and need a certain amount of humidity, that is, water. Just like making tea, the flavor of the tea leaves is mixed into the water and then drunk.

That's why water is crucial.

The acid-alkali substance is the fertility in the land, and the fertility does not necessarily need to be fertilized, and the plant can only produce it by itself. Some plants absorb alkaline substances and expel acidic substances, while others, on the contrary, planting specific crops will naturally conserve the land.

The land will also be suitable for planting different crops because of the difference in the two substances, which is the story of orange Huaibei.

Trees, while thirsting for water and taking root deeply, will also promote the flow and neutralization of substances in the soil, so that the land of logging must be suitable for cultivation with moderate acidity and alkalinity, and after many years, it will be fertilized artificially.

Do you understand? ”

Pei Zhen was covered in cold sweat, this was something he had never thought of before, he cared about farming, thinking that this was also a unique advantage of him, who knew that today's comparison, he simply didn't know anything.
