"Cultivation of grain seeds?" Zhang Cheng looked at Zhang Wen with wide eyes, thinking to himself that the number one person in Yangzhou now actually has the skills of an old farmer?
Song Chen pointed to the millet field in front of him and said meaningfully: "Fujun's proficiency in farming is unparalleled in the world today. Even though the corn here is so strong, it is the result of Fujun's years of cultivation. Do you know when Fujun will start?" A person who cultivates millet?"
"When?" Zhang Wen looked confused.
Song Chen stretched out three fingers and replied solemnly: "Thirty years ago, when Fu Jun was still a young man, he started farming in Xiaopei. It can be said that the mother seeds of high-yield corn in various places came from Fu Jun's hometown. ."
"Thirty years ago?" Zhang Wen swallowed his saliva and said to himself that he had just been born at that time. He was shocked and immediately thought, "Fujun knew how to breed when he was a boy? Could it be that he encountered some adventure? Just like his ancestors." "Three steps forward in the bridge?"
"It's unknown." Song Chen shook his head gently.
Zhang Cheng stroked his beard and thought for a while, then sighed: "No wonder His Majesty relies so heavily on the emperor. Only with such geniuses silently guaranteeing food production can he stand out among the heroes and achieve today's imperial career."
"This is God's will." Zhang Wen nodded in agreement, but the conversation suddenly turned cold: "It's a pity."
"What's a pity?" Zhang Cheng asked.
Zhang Wen replied seriously: "Our southern climate is humid, and most people mainly grow rice. Even if high-yielding corn seeds are introduced, they can only be used as supplementary grains."
"Yes." Zhang Cheng was slightly disappointed.
Seeing the two people's unfounded worries, Song Chen couldn't help but laugh secretly while sitting on the horse. He said to himself that he sent the eldest son to destroy Linyi in fifteen days not only to take back that little land, but also to breed improved rice in Jingnan. Now we have the magical Champa rice. It is estimated that it will be extended to Jiangdong soon. At that time, your jaws may drop.
Lan Tian would never make a fuss about something before it was done, so Song Chen had no intention of telling the two of them, but the disdain he inadvertently showed was noticed by the experienced Zhang Cheng.
"General Song seems to have a different view? Could it be that Mr. Fu also has a view on rice seeds?" Zhang Cheng stopped talking in the middle of the sentence, saying that Lantian was currently a pastoralist, and even if he wanted to, he would not be able to take care of the farming. This can be seen from the vigorous encouragement of business in Jiaozhou. .
"Haha, you two only know this but don't know why. I have already said that Fu Jun is unparalleled in the world in farming. He once said that one person's power is limited after all, so he specially opened an agricultural college on Zhuya Island and used school methods to train students. There are more Deng Shizai, and although Mr. Fu rarely goes to the fields now, he has never relaxed about farming for a moment." Song Chen answered generally.
Zhang Cheng nodded frequently after hearing this, raised his hands in salute and said, "It seems that our understanding of Fu Jun is still too one-sided. Thank you General Song for answering your questions."
Song Chen nodded slightly in response, but Zhang Wen gave a different opinion, "Guangzhou Academy and Medical College can understand, but Zhuya Island is mostly an uncivilized place. Is anyone going to set up an agricultural college there? Students What do you study every day? There shouldn't be many agricultural classics in existence, right?"
"Huishu underestimated the appeal of Fujun. Counties and counties are scrambling to select students to study agriculture. Because the conditions of agricultural colleges are limited now, students need to be selected. Students are no different from farmers on a daily basis. They come out at sunrise. Resting at sunset, I just observe and record the growth of crops. Finally, through a large amount of data analysis, I summarize efficient planting methods and cultivate better food seeds. As time goes by, there will be more and more agricultural classics. It's just that it was summarized by predecessors, and later people checked and filled in the gaps." Song Chen stroked his beard to explain.
"The agricultural students wrote their own books? It's incredible." Zhang Wen laughed hoarsely.
"There are many varieties grown at Zhuya Agricultural College, right?" Zhang Cheng continued to ask.
Song Chen replied softly: "Zhuya Island has enough sunlight, which is very suitable for the growth of various crops. In addition to staple foods such as rice, wheat, and millet, there are also supplementary foods such as season and bean sprouts. Of course, there are also various fruits and vegetables. As long as the common people can eat them, Yes, there will be people to cultivate them.”
"This is really a benefit to future generations." Zhang Cheng increasingly felt that Lan Tian had a majestic image, while Zhang Wen was glad that Sun Quan was driven away.
"We'd better continue on the road. When we get down to the plain, we'll be not far from Chang'an. Your Majesty should be looking forward to the news from Jiangdong." Song Chen said and urged the group to go on their way.
Zhang Wen nodded, patted his chest, and responded with a smile: "I am going to see His Majesty soon, and I am very excited. If there is any disrespect during the interview, you two should remember to point it out."
"Huisu's words are serious." Zhang Cheng smiled and rode forward.
The mission was running on the official road, with endless golden millet fields on both sides. It was a good year when Liu Bei collected Guanzhong. The summer grain was planted after heavy rains in Luoyang. Natural disasters did not affect the harvest at all. Zhang Cheng and Zhang Wen both believed that Liu Bei's destiny Return, surrender and surrender is a wise choice.
Not long ago, Zhuge Jin went to Chang'an to seek peace. Everyone in the Han Dynasty knew that Sun Quan would be defeated, but they didn't know how long it would take. Some people guessed that it would take half a year, and some guessed that it would take three months. Liu Bei used Zhuge Liang's name to leave Zhuge Jin in the capital to wait. result.
When the mission appeared on Chang'an Avenue, it meant that Yangzhou had been pacified, and the courtiers all lamented the rapidity of Lantian.
Liu Bei then summoned all the officials to gather in the Xuanshi Hall of Weiyang Palace to ceremoniously receive the envoys from Yangzhou, and invited Zhuge Jin to go to the hall to listen to the government. When he saw Zhang Cheng and Zhang Wen, he couldn't help but have four thoughts in his heart. Words: Jiangdong is gone.
Weiyang Palace is an important palace in the imperial city. It has been the place for emperors’ coronation ceremonies, national sacrifices, and important court meetings. It is more majestic and solemn in layout than the Wu Palace built by Sun Quan.
Yongliang has not been pacified yet, and Liu Bei's children and wives are still in Chengdu, and there are no plans to take them to Chang'an for the time being. Moreover, after Liu Bei ascended the throne, his focus was on regaining the country, and he did not take in as many nobles, wives, and concubines as Cao Cao, his son, and Sun Quan did. It filled the harem so much that the Jiaofang Hall is still empty.
Liu Bei had tasted the sufferings of the people and understood that he should not indulge in pleasure after ascending the throne. In order to reduce the number of people in the inner courtyard of the palace, Changle, Mingguang and other palaces were left idle, and he usually rested in Weiyang Palace for court meetings.
During the court meeting in the Xuanshi Hall, headed by Situ Pangtong and Chariot and Cavalry General Zhang Fei, they were lined up on the left and right. Dozens of civil servants and military generals gathered around the moon, surrounding the emperor Liu Bei who was sitting facing south. Under his crown, he saw the dragon's radiant face, sixty-two His appearance is better than that of Sun Quan.
Song Chen, Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Wen stood in front of them. After performing the court ceremony, they presented Lan Tian's memorial and the list of officials who requested the reward.
Liu Bei read the memorial and Long Yan was delighted. He leaned over and said to Zhuge Jin with a smile: "Tzuyu should be mentally prepared, right? Sun Zhongmou had only resisted for a few days, and on September 23rd, he took the remaining troops into exile at sea. The Wu State you were loyal to was no longer there. It exists again.”
"How could it be so fast? The Governor was also defeated?" Zhuge Jin looked at the two pictures in the palace and thought to himself: I haven't completed the king's mission yet, why has King Wu run away, then who should I look for to restore my life in the future?
