The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1587

[1587.Chapter 1508 A worthy man]

Mi Zhi…

Fang Jifan frowned when Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Xin were overjoyed to meet each other. As soon as he heard about Mi Zhi, he felt that it was unreliable.

This dense planting will be a problem even for future generations. The most important reason is that it requires a large amount of fertilizers, which causes water pollution. In addition, there are countless other problems.

It can be seen that Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Xin were very excited, but Fang Jifan was suspicious.

Zhu Houzhao was so happy that he didn’t notice the strange look in Fang Jifan’s eyes, and just pulled Fang Jifan away.

Fang Jifan also wanted to take a look, so he followed.

The experimental fields were all covered with roads, so cars could not pass, so they had to walk. Zhu Houzhao walked as fast as flying, and Zhang Xin walked very steadily. Only Fang Jifan was panting all the way on the muddy field ridge.

After finally arriving at the place, Fang Jifan looked around, blinked, and was a little confused.

This…is called Mi Zhi?

Suddenly, he remembered it.

The concept of dense planting by the ancients is completely different from that of later generations.

The ancients’ land had limited fertility, and rice seeds also had many defects, so they were planted very sparsely.

But now, the so-called dense planting has just become a little denser from the original sparseness, barely reaching the level of later generations.

At this time, the seedlings have grown out one after another. They are still green at this time. Although young rice ears have been born, the rice is not yet mature.

Looking around, there are densely packed rice ears.

In Fang Jifan’s view, this was a normal thing.

But Zhang Xin and Zhu Houzhao were very excited.

Zhu Houzhao said with great joy: “Old Fang, look… look… it’s really going to happen.”

Fang Jifan was indifferent, while Zhu Houzhao pointed to the experimental field next door and said: “Look at the other ones, I’m afraid they will be produced by then .”

The grain produced here is less than half that here. Come on, come on, get the data from this experimental field. “

The captain of the field camp has been stationed here for a long time. After hearing the prince’s instructions, he hurriedly got the book.

In this book, it is clearly recorded how much nitrogen fertilizer was applied, whether there were any pests during the process, what kind of grain was used, and how much water was used for irrigation.

Zhu Houzhao looked at it carefully and said excitedly: “If we can succeed, the yield per acre… must not be low. Most of the rice fields now only produce more than 300 kilograms per acre. How much can this acre produce?” “

Thousands of acres of land have been opened up, all of which are used for experiments. Most of the experimental fields have not achieved satisfactory results. Only a few acres are promising. But once it succeeds, then… these recorded data, This is the most valuable experience. In the future, you only need to follow this method to promote it.

Not only that, this also proves the effectiveness of nitrogen fertilizer.

There are hundreds of types of fertilizers produced in the research institute, and most of them are failures.

Only the current ratio has the most amazing effect.

Zhang Xin’s eyes shone.

In fact, the news has spread in Tuntian Weihe Research Institute.

Many school captains and students have come in batches to observe the seedlings.

Many students even began to obtain the soil and water quality in the rice fields, hoping to take them back for research.

After all, this could be a huge advance in the history of rice cultivation.

The results of this experiment will produce a large number of agricultural papers.

Research on nitrogen fertilizers.

Research on soil quality.

Research on pests.

Research on seeds.

The accumulated data will be cited on a large scale. In the coming year, there may be new progress based on this research foundation and data.

Fang Jifan said calmly: “We haven’t even written the Chinese character yet. Don’t be too happy, Your Highness. We need to wait until the rice is ripe.”

These words were like pouring cold water on Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Xin. .

Yes, before receiving the goods, who knows whether the young ears will mature.

Maybe it won’t grow because of the fertilizer or the seeds.

Zhang Xin calmed down, took a deep breath, and bowed to Fang Jifan: “What Duke Qi taught me is, but right now, this acre of experimental field is most likely to achieve the results we want, so this place needs to be well protected. No one is allowed to go to the fields to study for the time being, and no one is allowed to come and go around at will except the captain who is taking care of him. “

This statement… was clearly aimed at Zhu Houzhao.

He was afraid. His Royal Highness was too reckless. Don’t let him ruin this rice field.

Fang Jifan nodded: “That’s the truth. Don’t talk too much now. From today on, you will be here to watch.”

Fang Jifan said, feeling very calm.

Before he achieved great success, he didn’t want to be too optimistic and pretend to be struck by lightning.

Here in Xishan, many people are extremely excited.

For this experimental field, countless money and manpower have been spent, not to mention the valuable experience of countless field captains and agricultural students over the years.

And the answer is about to be revealed.

Zhang Xin tried his best to hold back his excitement.

He knows exactly what success means.

Although he couldn’t believe it, in fact…even if it failed, he could accept it.

After all…for so many years, he has been engaged in agriculture and has brought out countless disciples and captains, but he also knows very well that failure is a common occurrence. Summarizing the lessons of failure and absorbing the nutrients of success are the most important.

Zhu Houzhao didn’t care about anything else anymore. He was so excited that he asked someone to take some soil and water samples, and happily ran to the research institute.

…………

Honglu Temple.

During this period of time, in this place where envoys from foreign vassals lived, an endless stream of scholars came to pay their respects from time to time.

So much so that here, there is always a bustling crowd.

Liu Shang, the guest receptionist at Honglu Temple, is used to this.

However, the large number of people in the city also brought huge pressure to Honglu Temple.

The courtyard where the Ottoman envoy was located sent away a group of scholars, and then Liu Shang went here.

Suleiman was here, looking very excited.

He has been here three months.

In three months, he gained a deep understanding of Chinese culture.

Therefore, when he came, he originally had wool blankets laid out, and all the corresponding attire was mainly Ottoman.

But now, he is wearing a Han style of Confucian cedar, and his slightly curly hair has grown up. He still looks thin. At this moment, a landscape painting hangs in his hall. This painting has a profound artistic conception. Completely different from the Ottoman and Franji paintings, the large blank space gave Suleiman a strong imagination.

From time to time, he would look up at the painting, looking at the ink-dotted landscape, feeling the artistic conception in the blank space, and he was so mesmerized.

On the slip are the Four Books and Five Classics.

The writings of saints are indeed very reasonable.

Great unity…

made of salt and iron…

and… cars on the same track, books on the same text…

When he read this, his body couldn’t help but tremble, and his face turned red with excitement.

The Ottomans were originally just a tribe. Since then, they have annexed countless tribes and conquered countless countries. In the end… they have become an empire spanning three continents.

In addition to the great monarchs, there were many powerful locals. They might be governors, called kasha, and almost controlled the financial and military power.

Isn’t this another form of feudalism?

So many families loyal to the monarch when he was strong, but once the monarch was weak, they rebelled and even made unreasonable demands on the monarch.

Many tribes, although they surrendered, refused to fulfill their promises to the monarch when the empire was in crisis, and held their own troops at risk.

It is necessary to use etiquette to restrain ministers, let them know benevolence, justice, propriety, and trust, and to use the rule of salt and iron to control the financial power of the empire. At the same time… it is necessary to promote the same words so that every tribe in the empire can speak the same words…

If Only in this way can we create the greatest country in the world and inherit it for generations to come.

Just now, he discussed the issue of enlightenment with many Confucian scholars.

Only education can make the people know only the monarch, the king, the minister, the father, the son, the son…

Liu Shang came in thickly and saluted Suleiman.

Suleiman said at this time: “What a happy prince. He has countless virtuous people, but he can’t accept their advice and actually stays away from them… This is called… being close to the villain but staying far away.” Gentleman…”

Suleiman sighed, a little envious and a little mocking.

Liu Shang couldn’t help but said: “What?”

Suleiman finally came back to his senses. Before that, he was just mumbling to himself.

But even if he was mumbling to himself, he was speaking in Chinese.

In his opinion, if he wants to learn Chinese, he must implement it from beginning to end. Only by mastering it skillfully can he appreciate the essence of the Four Books and Five Classics.

Those great Confucians and scholars are all respectable scholars.

They seem to be very knowledgeable about any issue.

Every word they said was full of profound philosophy.

Only by mastering this language can we understand their words and understand the original meaning of these profound truths.

Suleiman laughed, looked at Liu Shang, and said in Chinese: “Master Liu, today, do you want to discuss with me again? What do you want to discuss?”

Liu Shang didn’t have too many expressions, and even continued to look solemn, lightly He shook his head slightly and said, “No, I am here under the orders of the Ministry of Rites to urge His Highness the Prince to submit his credentials as soon as possible.”

“Oh.” Suleiman said with a disapproving look: “This is not the most important thing. I am not interested now.” In the sea of knowledge, he is like a fat fish. “

He used the word “fat” to describe it.

Liu Shang suddenly subconsciously felt that the corners of his mouth were a little wet and he was hungry.

Almost getting distracted, Liu Shang did not forget the purpose of his visit, and said again: “This is a very important matter, the prince must not neglect it.”

Suleiman frowned: “This is also etiquette. “

Yes

.”

Suleiman said: “In this case, it has to be like this. Can I invite your scholars in my credentials to settle in Ottoman? Please don’t get me wrong. I am full of goodwill towards the Ming Dynasty. In my opinion, these scholars are all They are treasures, and even a room full of gold cannot match their value. “

…

I recommend a book called “Nine Dragons Swallowing Pearls”. You see, the name is so domineering and quite nice.
