There is not only knowledge but also philosophy in rice farming.

For example, the harmonious coexistence of rice and fish is very much in line with Taoist doctrine.

"Not only that, but I also have so much knowledge when dealing with farmers. I can teach the peasants to understand, and it will be easy to talk about those powerful officials in the future. ”

"Only by understanding farmers can we understand taxation and how to formulate more realistic national policies."

"If we only read books, we don't know how much we pay for an acre of land, we don't know whether the taxes collected are more or less, and whether we have been cheated."

"Yes, I don't know how much time it takes a farmer to plant the land in a day, how long it will take to complete the cultivation, and when it is necessary to levy and issue conscription, it may delay the agricultural time."

Zhu Xianggong said that it is necessary to read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles. Knowledge and practice are one bone and the other is flesh, and neither can be missing. ”

"It turns out that there is still so much knowledge in farming, and it is worthy of Zhu Xianggong." ……

Students gather together in their free time to compile what they have learned. Later, they compiled a book for Zhu Xiang that took thousands of years for the imperial examinations in later generations, and as a result, after the establishment of modern China, the national examination would continue to be examined.

If Zhu Xiang is reincarnated in this world, he will also test his own "Zhu Xiangzi Said".

And whether these "Zhu Xiangzi said" are what he said is unknown.

Now he is just trying his best to teach the students to farm, and when he teaches them farming, he tells them some common sense that he thinks.

He didn't know that this common sense had become a big truth, and that there were so many versions of it.

The seedlings are raised, and the transplanting is completed. Winter is finally coming, and Zhu Xiang can take a breath of relief.

Li Bing was busy at this time. He had to take advantage of the dry season to measure the water level at the mouth of the river and find a place to build a diversion dam.

Although he said that he would build a large water conservancy to reduce the flooding of the Chengdu Plain, he only had one idea now, and he did not have a specific draft.

When Zhu Xiang learned about this, he was speechless.

He also thought that Li Bing was confident and was ready to build Dujiangyan before he wrote to King Qin. Who knew that Li Bing was so reckless, he didn't think about anything, so he set up the military order first.

Zhu Xiang couldn't help but ask Li Bing: "Since you don't have a clue yet, how dare you write to King Qin?" What if you can't do it? ”

Li Bing said: "It's better to do it than not to do it well." Even if you dig a few channels, it's better than looking dry. ”

Zhu Xiang was speechless again. You're too reckless, aren't you? Are all your friends a virtue?

Oh, me too.

Things are divided into groups (slapping legs)!

Chapter 88 Double Cropping Regenerative Rice

When Zichu returned from a business trip, he received an edict from the king of Qin and a reward for his servants.

After he read the edict, he slapped the table and scolded: "It must be Zhu Xiang!" ”

Lin Zhen staggered his legs: "It is indeed Zhu Xiang." Zhu Xiang is far away in Shu County, and he has written to Jun Shang all the way, worrying that you will not eat and drink medicine well. Impressed? ”

Zichu was in a complicated mood. Moved is moved, but he wants to raise his sword and chase Zhu Xiang.

"Is Zhu Xiang good in Shu County?" Zichu asked.

Shu County is too far away, and with his connections, he can't know about Shu County. Lin Zhen has now become a close attendant of King Qin, and he is better informed than him.

Lin Zhen said: "Okay, why is it not good?" He was good friends with the county guard of Shu County. As soon as Li Bing arrived in Shu County, he saw that Shu County was suffering from floods. Li Mu and Li Bing guarded the embankment, and Zhu Xiang guarded Chengdu City. Zhu Xiang's temper actually ordered someone to deal with the noisy families and killed several people. ”

Zi Chu's face turned pale: "Is Zhu Xiang injured or sick?" ”

Lin Zhen said: "Neither Zhu Xiang nor Li Bing's books wrote that Zhu Xiang was injured and sick. Zhu Xiang asked us about the situation one by one, focusing on you, more worried about you than worrying about the old people of Xun Gonglian, Bai Gong, and Fan Gong, hahahaha. ”

Zi Chu picked up the scroll casually and smashed Lin Zhen: "Don't interrupt, ask you about business." ”

Lin Zhen smiled and said: "He regards worrying about you as the most important thing, and he didn't ask for anything else, so he begged King Qin to issue an edict and send someone to supervise your eating and drinking, hahahaha, laugh at me!" ”

Lin Zhen couldn't stop laughing for a long time, Zi Chu was so angry that he wanted to raise the inkstone to hit him, but he barely closed his mouth with wild laughter.

"Zhu Xiang's new friend is not ordinary, seeing that the people of Shu County are suffering from floods, they actually want to spend a huge amount of manpower and material resources to build dams and canals, and guarantee them with their heads." After Lin Zhen finished laughing, he continued, "No wonder he can meet Zhu Xiang's eyes. ”

Zi Chu said: "Zhu Xiang didn't object, that is to recognize that this matter is feasible." ”

Lin Zhen sighed: "Zhu Xiang knows the suffering of the common people. He would not have been unaware of the importance of such a project and the weight of forced labor, and how many common people would be harmed. He actually agreed to this matter, it seems that the flood in Shu County is indeed too miserable. ”

Zi Chu was silent for a while, and said, "Harm the people of the world, save the people of the world." I still underestimated Zhu Xiang, I didn't expect him to have such courage. ”

Lin Zhen smiled and said: "If Zhu Xiang is really asked to do it, he may not be able to be ruthless." This matter must be led by Li Bing. ”

Zi Chu, who has a filter thicker than the Xianyang city wall for his friends, insisted: "If he doesn't object, he supports it." To support this matter is to have courage. ”

"Yes, that's right." Lin Zhen sighed, "I thought he went to Shu County to hide, but he turned out to be looking for trouble again." Why did he fall in love with Li Bing? If he encounters a county guard who ignores him, with his character, he will definitely not do anything. ”

Zi Chu said: "Not necessarily. If he were a county guard who ignored him, he might find a way to guard the embankment with Li Mu, and he would be held back by the county guard. ”

The two sighed at each other. Zhu Xiang really broke his heart.

"It's good that he wasn't injured or sick, otherwise Xue Ji would be so sad." Lin Zhen said again, "Zhu Xiang said that Zheng'er is also very healthy and weighs a lot, and he may not be able to carry it next year." ”

Zichu was speechless: "Even if Zheng'er is his current age, he sits on his shoulders and is too doting." ”

Lin Zhen said: "Zheng'er is so well-behaved, no matter how good he is, how can it be called doting?" ”

Zichu was even more speechless.

No matter how good a child is, over-doting will turn bad. What's more, he had such a miserable childhood, and seeing his son holding Zhu Xiang's neck and arrogantly looking at him, Zichu was really angry.

Lin Zhen knew that Zi Chu was a stingy ghost, and even his son was jealous, so he deliberately teased Zi Chu to play.

It's a pity that Zhu Xiang is not there. If Zhu Xiang is here, he and Zhu Xiang will work together, and they will definitely be able to jump on the spot in anger, which is really interesting.

Zichu knew that Lin Zhen wanted to see him laugh, so he immediately changed the topic: "Since he wants to repair water conservancy, we will help him." ”

Lin Zhen smiled and followed Zi Chu's words: "You don't have to worry about this, the king and the prince will do it." You have just returned from a visit to Wei, so you should rest according to the edict of the king. ”

Zi Chu said suspiciously: "The king is suspicious of me? ”

Lin Zhen said: "That's not true. On the contrary, your position is already relatively stable in the king, and the prince is also very optimistic about you. So you can rest in peace for a while. If you fall before you become the king of Qin, everything you do will be meaningless. ”

Zi Chu muttered: "I'm not that weak. ”

But he sighed anyway and decided to hand over the work in his hand and rest for a while.

When his friends arrived in Shu County, they faced floods, plagues, and famines, and they were still worried about their bodies, and he said that he couldn't do anything.

Lin Zhen completed the task assigned by Zhu Xiang to write a letter alone (and unceremoniously asked the King of Qin to hand it over), held down Zichu who could not be idle, and went home triumphantly to write a letter to Zhu Xiang to restore his life.

Lin Zhen's wife was a clan daughter given by King Qin, and she got along well with Lin Zhen's original wife and concubine, and also provided a lot of help for Lin Zhen to gain a firm foothold in Xianyang. Lin Zhen is closer to her.

Lin Zhen was fine, and when he was willing to go to the backyard, his wife had just become pregnant a few months ago.

Lin Zhen's wife straightened her stomach to grind ink for him, and said gently: "I don't know when Zhu Xianggong will come back." I wish I could see Zhu Xianggong earlier when my child was born. ”

Lin Zhen couldn't cry or laugh: "Do you really believe the rumors that Zhu Xiang can bless the child?" ”

Lin Zhen's wife said: "Zhu Xianggong may not be able to bless the child, but I heard that Gongzizheng has rarely been sick since he was a child. Ordinary children get sick every three or five days, which shows that Zhu Xianggong raises children very well. ”

Lin Zhen shook his head with a smile and said, "Well raised? I think he is very rough-raised, and Zheng'er himself is in good health. If you want to ask Zhu Xiang how to raise a child, when the child is born and you are out of confinement, I will let Xue Ji live at home for a while. ”

Lin Zhen's wife immediately said, "Okay, Xie Liangren." ”

"That's my child, too, what do you thank." Lin Zhen said, "You can rest well, you don't have to guard me in the study." ”

Lin Zhen's wife looked at the letter in Lin Zhen's hand, hesitated for a moment, but still listened to Lin Zhen's words and turned to leave.

After she left, Lin Zhen's smile disappeared and she sighed deeply.

He brushed the broken hair on his sideburns, stuck his fingers in the ends of his hair, and said weakly: "That's why I want to return to the mountains and forests...... It's a hassle. That's it, she still knows the proportions, it would be good if the crown prince was replaced as the queen of Qin. ”

He opened the half-written letterhead, picked up charcoal, and told Zhu Xiang in detail about Xianyang in the letterhead interlayer with very small words.

Which nobles are worth noting, the movements of the Xianyang Academy, and the current attitude of the King of Qin and the crown prince towards Zhu Xiang...... Lin Yi carefully glued the edges of the letter and continued to write the unfinished letter on the surface of the letter.

In the letter on the surface, Lin Zhen wrote about the recent situation of Xia Tong and Xue Ji, the physical condition of several elderly people who are still in Zhu Xiang's house, what achievements Cai Ze has made in Changping, and what interesting things he has encountered recently.

After writing the letter, Lin Zhen picked up Zhu Xiang's letter that was pressed aside, and flicked the letter paper.

King Qin must not have expected that Zhu Xiang would not only write letters in the mezzanine, but also write letters in ink that would only be visible in a special way.

The prevention and control of water Gu disease, pumpkins and newly improved rice seeds that can save famines, and the black powder that may be used in water conservancy projects in the future...... Zhu Xiang really let himself go completely after he arrived in Shu County, and he didn't even bother to cover it up. Fortunately, he also knew how to write a letter to tell him, so that he could use the information difference to help him fool him in front of King Qin.

Lin Zhen complained with a smile: "Since Zhu Xiang came to my house, the youngest son who is favored in the family and helped by the whole family to clean up the mess is not me." ”

He put the letter away.

There are some things that even Xia Tong can't tell. Although Xia Tong is still Xia Tong, I don't know when he will become the crown prince and the king of Qin. Lin Zhen can only believe that he will never change and will not hope for others.

But when he finds a good excuse, he can pull Xia Tong to clean up the mess for Zhu Xiang. Friends are used to help Zhu Xiang finish.

……

The edict of the king of Qin, the letters of the crown prince, the complaints of friends, and the letters of Xue and the elders of the family came to Chengdu when Ying Xiaozheng was one year older.

"Your Majesty will send 50,000 prisoners to be sent by you, and give you twenty years, and the manpower is enough." Li Mudao, "You are tied to death in the position of the county guard of Shu County now, and it is difficult to be promoted." ”

"It's not twenty years, and it's just right for me to return to Xianyang in twenty years." Li Bing said with a smile, "The time given by the king is very lenient, and I don't have so much pressure." ”

Li Mu sighed and did not refute Li Bing.

But everyone knows that twenty years later, Li Bing is over fifty years old, and he is constantly running around and tired, even if he can live to that time, his body may not allow him to continue to be an official in the court.

However, Li Bing has decided that he must control the floods in the Chengdu Plain, and the edict of the King of Qin has also arrived in Chengdu, and there is no room for things to turn around.

"It doesn't have to be a county guard for 20 years, or it may change county guards, but you will be given an official position dedicated to rectifying floods." Zhu Xiang said, "And it doesn't necessarily take 20 years." If it ends early, you will be able to go to Xianyang to meet us again as soon as possible. ”

Zhu Xiang remembered that in history, Li Bing seemed to have built Dujiangyan for more than ten years, of which eight years were spent digging the mountain wall, and it would definitely take a while to select the site selection plan. With him, he may be able to avoid a few detours.

"Promise your good words." Li Bing said, "But you still have to stay in Shu County for at least a year, isn't it too early to talk about a reunion now?" ”

Zhu Xiang and Li Mu glanced at each other and smiled: "It's really too early." The two of them also have to join the preliminary project of water conservancy and irrigation presided over by Li Bing.

Before starting construction, Li Bing started to build a number of models to simulate the water flow and find the best solution.

When Zhu Xiang was planting rice in his head, Li Bing rode through several major river roads, looking for places to build dikes and channels.

Because of the previous floods, Li Bing sent people to collect a lot of data along the river, and Zhu Xiang "casually" proposed, Li Bing quickly selected the location where Dujiangyan should have existed.

Just to build a diversion dam, you need to dig rocks and open mountains.

I don't know how many years it takes to chisel through such a heavy mountain wall, and how many manpower and material resources it takes. At the beginning of the project, it was necessary to challenge such a difficult matter, and other officials who knew water conservancy opposed it.
