The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1696

[1696. Chapter 1613 There is no limit to learning]

Wang Ao’s face was cold.

Zhou Tanzhi was at the side, and hope seemed to be ignited in his heart.

Wang Ao said seriously: “What’s there to talk about, Duke Qi? Don’t we have nothing to talk about? Why do we suddenly want to talk about it? I raise pigs here and they are very happy. I’m not going anywhere.”

Fang Jifan then He was very happy. If His Majesty hadn’t asked him to speak properly, Fang Jifan would have had all their legs broken according to Fang Jifan’s temper.

Fang Jifan said with a bright smile: “Oh, I was just a kid who was ignorant at first. As you know, I have a brain disease, not to mention that I am still a child…His father. The prince…let’s go around and the stove is ready.” “

Wang Ao also seemed to feel that at this point, there seemed to be a step down, so he said: “Okay, let’s talk.”

After that, he glanced at Zhou Tanzhi and said meaningfully: “Zian, here you are. Take good care of Fang Dafan and the others…”

Zhou Tanzhi had hope in his eyes, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and was about to salute.

But Fang Jifan’s expression changed, Fang Dafan…

Fang Jifan glanced at the Zi Zhus everywhere.

Then…

Fang Jifan turned around and said calmly: “I’m sorry, I don’t have to eat the beef. Since the prince loves to raise pigs, he should raise them well. Our green mountains will not change and our green waters will flow forever. Goodbye.”

Fang Jifan walked away .

.

Wang Ao’s face suddenly… stiffened.

Zhou Tanzhi became anxious and said hurriedly: “Qi Guogong, you must keep your word. You just said it well. What happened?”

At this point, he no longer cares about being polite.

But Fang Jifan was too lazy to pay attention to him, and walked away without stopping.

Zhou Tanzhi shrugged his head and immediately began to lament his pitiful life experience.

The future looked bright.

Have a good teacher.

Who knew that this good teacher was Wang Ao.

Wang Ao happened to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel again.

If anyone has a teacher who is a minister of the Ministry of official affairs, he will rise to the top, only in front of his eyes.

However, the teacher was an upright person. He seemed to feel that promoting his students would be difficult to convince the public, so he avoided suspicion. As a result, he could only waste his time in Nanjing.

It’s even worse now, raising pigs.

Zhou Tanzhi looked at his mentor numbly, about to shed tears.

Wang Ao swung his staff and said fiercely: “I don’t want to ask for help without asking him. Quickly, go feed Fang Dafan and the others pig grass. Controlling pigs is like controlling people. I have thought about it, this royal Pigs and royals are actually the same thing. You need to kill pigs to scare pigs. Come on, catch those Fang Si Fans and beat them up. In front of all the pigs, let’s see if other pigs dare to do anything. “

Times.”

Zhou Tanzhi wiped his tears and said, “Teacher… the student can’t catch up with it.”

Wang Ao was stunned when he heard this, then he stamped his feet and sighed, “Humans are not as good as pigs.”

But Zhou Tanzhi said: “Teacher .”

…I heard that there are a lot of things about raising pigs in that Ming Song…”

“Humph.” Wang Ao glared at him.

Zhou Tanzhi shrank his head, and then couldn’t help but said: “I also heard that… Xishan Academy published a “Guide to Raising Pigs to Get Rich”. It was written by a pig-raising captain of the Xishan Tuntian Guards after Ming Song came out. “Yes, it’s very effective.”

Wang Ao’s eyes widened and he began to grind his teeth: “You…you…”

Zhou

Tanzhi looked at his mentor’s angry look and was so frightened that he quickly fell to the ground: “The student will die.”

Wang Aotu said: “What are you still waiting for? Go and buy it quickly.”

“Ah…oh, oh…”

Zhou Tanzhi didn’t dare to neglect anymore and hurried away.

After buying the book back, Wang Ao began to read it.

Strangely enough, after receiving praise from His Majesty, Wang Ao had not read Ming Song’s book, but to be honest, many things… he couldn’t understand. Even if he could understand it, he would automatically skip it in his mind.

After all…this thing…is really unbearable to read.

But looking at it now… I can’t help but understand it. Not only can I understand it, but I can also absorb it very quickly.

After all, he has raised pigs. It talks about how to take care of pigs, how to feed them, and what their habits are. In the past, even if you read it, you would have difficulty remembering it, or even understand it. But now… suddenly… Suddenly, this knowledge suddenly became fresh in my memory.

“I understand, it seems that we need to supplement food first, and at the same time, we need to feed more water. Is there any water in the sink? The feces also need to be cleaned, and…”

If it is explained, it is an advanced textbook on raising pigs, because Most of the content in it is what needs to be avoided.

The Guide to Raising Pigs and Getting Rich is an entry-level textbook, designed for novices to teach from the beginning to feeding.

Wang Ao has nothing to do now anyway. Since he is raising pigs and has nothing to do, he naturally cannot read the Chunqiu Zuozhuan, so… he puts all his thoughts on the pig-raising guide and Mingsong.

Zhou Tanzhi couldn’t stand these naughty pigs anymore, so he started to learn. Otherwise, he would have gone crazy these days.

Following the recipes in this book, unexpectedly… these pigs gradually started to eat, and… a group of pigs rushed to eat. This not only saves worry, but also slowly starts to become easier.

Just like this, while reading a book, I fed the pigs. After a month, the pigs have grown a lot in size.

Only Fang Liufan was skinny and skinny.

Wang Ao and Zhou Tanzhi noticed the anomaly and began to research… and were thinking about how to deal with it.

At this time, the Zhou family came.

Zhou Tanzhi’s wife is Gu. Gu came from Nanjing with her family. When she heard that Zhou Tanzhi was convicted, she was frightened to death. When she heard that he was in Xishan, she hurried over. Tourists actually looked here and looked through binoculars.

Gu didn’t care about anything else, broke through the human wall on the third and fifth floors, and rushed into the pig pen desperately.

At this time, Zhou Tanzhi was pinching Fang Shiliufan’s nose, observing whether Lao Shiliu of the Fang family was sick.

After accidentally catching a glimpse of Mr. Gu, the couple looked at each other in silence for a moment, then hugged their heads and burst into tears.

Afterwards, Mrs. Gu went to pay homage to Wang Ao.

Wang Ao’s face was full of shame.

Then Mrs. Gu cried and said: “This time… I’m afraid I won’t be able to return to Nanjing. The master has left office and has arrived in the capital. And in the village, the faces of the clan members were ugly when they heard that the master was in trouble. This time it brought It cost a fortune to come here…”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tanzhi understood what was going on.

He was originally from Qingliu, and then went to Nanjing. Not to mention that he was Wang Ao’s disciple, so he did not dare to be greedy for money. Even if he wants to be greedy, he has been like a clay Bodhisattva all his life. In fact, he was worshiped. He looks noble, but in fact he has no power at all. Who will give gifts?

Because of this, this family relies entirely on hundreds of acres of land. But now the price of land has plummeted. If the rent is too much, no one is willing to farm. In addition, his salary is gone. As a result, It can be said to be adding insult to injury.

Mrs. Gu brought her whole family to the capital. The trip was quite expensive.

When Zhou Tanzhi heard this, he couldn’t help but shed tears: “Others are working as officials, and I am also working as an official. How did I end up in such a situation today?”

Wang Ao sighed. To be honest, he was not well off. His family members were still there. The old city was crowded. Seeing his disciples like this, he couldn’t help but start to doubt his life. If Zhou Tanzhi hadn’t become his disciple this week, I’m afraid… he wouldn’t be in this situation.

He wanted to be an innocent person, but in this Ming Dynasty, it was not so easy to be innocent.

Wang Ao then said: “If you don’t mind, just stay in my Wang family for a while. I’ll fix the book and let my family clean up an empty room. If I have money in the future, I’ll find a way. It’s not easy to live in this capital, but don’t worry, I… …It’s still a bit thin, but I won’t make you suffer. “

After saying these words, Mr. Wang Ao blushed, these words…are meant to comfort others.

Mrs. Gu felt relieved now, but when she saw Wang Ao and Zhou Tanzhi raising pigs here, she couldn’t help but cry: “Why do you work so hard as an official, but you end up like this? Although I am in Nanjing, I have no knowledge, but I can see that others Those with unclean hands and feet are all happy. “

Zhou Tanzhi sighed.

At night, Mrs. Gu insisted on staying overnight, so she lit an oil lamp in the smelly house.

Zhou Tanzhi sat upright, under the oil lamp, holding a book, and took a piece of straw paper, put a pen and ink on it, and wrote and drew on the straw paper. The straw paper was very rough, so the ink spread out when he touched the tip of the pen. .

When Mrs. Gu saw that her husband was still reading so seriously at this time, she couldn’t help but admire her husband. He was still very dignified, so she said with concern: “It’s cold at night, don’t be cold. It’s not early. It’s better to be earlier.” Take a rest.”

Then she said: “What kind of book is this? My husband is so focused on reading it that he still needs to copy notes.”

Zhou Tan subconsciously said: “There are two things in this guide to raising pigs .

Error, I don’t know if it was written wrong or taught wrongly. For example, in this place, it is said that pigweed grows by the pond… But, my husband suddenly remembered that the description here was wrong. This herb, I mentioned in the “Pharmacopoeia” Have you seen it? Isn’t this Houttuynia cordata? Houttuynia Cordata is mild in nature… Well, I need to borrow a book tomorrow to read it, so that I can confirm it. “

“Also… in the Ming Song, it is said that sows eating sweet potato leaves after giving birth can stimulate urinary tract, which is not true… According to a few days ago, a weekly magazine said that the reason why this leaf can stimulate urinary tract is because of its content. It may contain some kind of hormone. What is a hormone? It is something that can promote growth. Look, Cui’e, you understand its principle, and you know that sweet potato leaves are not only used to stimulate RU, but may also be used to raise pigs. Is it feasible? Maybe… these sweet potato leaves and other things can have great effects. Do you get me? Gu

thought for a moment, shook her head in annoyance and said, “I don’t understand.” “

Zhou Tanzhi smiled bitterly: “You are right if you don’t understand. If everyone understands, it wouldn’t be called knowledge. The most important thing in learning is to be able to draw inferences from one instance. Not only that, only by reading a lot of books can we learn from this. At one point in the book, I thought of various records in other books in my mind. Only in this way can I verify and falsify it. That’s all. Go to sleep. You still need to think about it. ”
