Chapter 2408 I must make a mistake
His Majesty Li Er returned to Taiji Palace and led a team of "Hundred Riders" to Jiucheng Palace that night. Now he just feels that time is running out, and a moment of time cannot be wasted. , what a pity that must be?
All the concubines don't know why, two days later will be the day when the Furong Garden will be opened to enjoy the lotus. Didn't it be agreed that the officials will be entertained at the Purple Cloud Tower in the Furong Garden and have fun with the people?
It's just two days of hard work and I have to go to Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat, it's not enough to go back and forth...
However, since Empress Wende's funeral, no one in the harem has been able to speak to His Majesty Li Er. Even Concubine Yang, who has always been loved, doesn't care too much about intervening in His Majesty Li Er's decision, so everyone can only watch helplessly. His Majesty Li Er left the palace alone without taking anyone with him.
When Fang Xuanling returned to the mansion, he locked himself in the study for a whole afternoon, until before the curfew, he sent someone to call back Fang Jun who was planning to stay in the academy.
After entering the study, Fang Jun sat down on the chair at the lower end of his father, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, drained it in one gulp, then exhaled, and asked: "Father is in such a hurry to summon his son, why is it important?" things happen?"
Fang Xuanling stared blankly at his son for a long while, until Fang Jun was so frightened that he asked slowly: "Before, you said that the output of those corns, sweet potatoes, and potatoes was higher than that of the current Tang Dynasty. The crops are much higher, but a joke?"
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's natural. The reason why the navy soldiers brought these crops back from the New World is because the son ordered them to pay attention to those high-yielding crops. If the father doesn't believe it, the autumn harvest is not too far away now." It’s been a long time, and we’ll know when the time comes.”
"Valley" was not a kind of crop in ancient times, but a general term for hundreds of grains.The "millet" commonly known by later generations was called "Ji" in ancient times. It is the most important food in the Chinese civilization that originated in the Yellow River Basin since ancient times. It was called Sheji, and later the word Sheji was used to represent the country. As a synonym for the country, it can be seen how important millet is.
In ancient times, the most important grains were five grains, millet, millet, wheat, bean, and hemp. Later, with the gradual development of productivity, rice from the south was cultivated to the north, and it became one of the important grains for people, which became the six grains.
Millet is millet, also known as yellow rice, and millet is regarded as a more delicious food.Wheat is divided into barley and wheat, and Shu is a bean. It was called Shu in ancient times, and it was called Dou after the Han Dynasty.Hemp refers to pockmarks, which were also used as grain by ancient people.
None of these kinds of grains are high-yielding, and they have high requirements for soil fertility and moisture. Therefore, once natural disasters occur, it is easy to lead to crop failure and large-scale famine.
In comparison, corn is more cold-tolerant, especially sweet potatoes and potatoes, which have very strong adaptability and can be used as a good supplement to grain types.
Of course, Fang Jun doesn't dare to say how much he will produce now, otherwise he will be regarded as a lunatic...
But as long as you wait until the autumn harvest, people all over the world will be shocked by it!
only……
"Father, you hurriedly called your son back just to ask this?"
Fang Jun was a little puzzled.
Seeing that the academy is about to start, he is so busy that he sleeps from three to five o'clock, and even plans to stay in the academy tonight, but was called back by his father to ask this?
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard, his face was tangled, and he pondered for a long time before he said: "Son, tell me, if in the future no one will starve to death because of these few crops, your feats will shake the sky from time to time. , the past and the present?"
Fang Jun was at a loss, but he was also taken aback by Fang Xuanling's statement, and quickly said: "Father is ridiculous! It is not easy to say that there will be no people who starve to death in the world? Different places have different soils, customs, and climates. If there are high-yielding crops, there may not be inexhaustible food, and the implementation of policies and the cleanliness of officials are all related to the livelihood of the people, how can it be achieved by just a few crops?"
There are no more people who starve to death in the world?
No matter how conceited and proud Fang Jun is, he would not dare to put such an outstanding feat on his head.
Only Mr. Yuan is worthy of this feat...
What's more, Datang is extremely backward in terms of transportation, information transmission, medical care, etc. compared with later generations. Just a few high-yield crops are like eliminating hunger, which is simply a dream.
Hearing such an answer, Fang Xuanling not only did not feel depressed in the slightest, but lifted his spirits and asked, "Is that true?"
Fang Jun frowned, puzzled and said: "What is father worried about? You might as well talk about it and let your son refer to it."
Fang Xuanling was silent for a long while, then said quietly: "I am afraid that your merits will be so high that I am the father, so there is nothing to seal!"
After thinking about it carefully, Fang Jun understood his father's worry, and immediately said with a hey, "So my father was worried about this, and there is no need for it. There are many people who have made great achievements throughout the ages, and I haven't seen them all." A good end, the most important thing is to hide one's clumsiness and self-defilement. For example, the son has just made a great achievement, and he feels that His Majesty may be embarrassed by the reward. As a subject, he can make His Majesty embarrassed? So the son immediately made a mistake. A big mistake, merits and demerits offset, no rewards no punishments, His Majesty will naturally relax!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Fang Xuanling was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him. He was most afraid that this kid would ignore his temper, and he might make a big mistake one day: "There is something in words, and there is measure in deeds. We should be upright and honorable." Jiyue, how can you act recklessly and domineeringly?"
Fang Jun's brows drooped: "Father taught me a lesson! Then from now on, my son will only do things seriously and never make mistakes. He will definitely handle the things His Majesty instructed properly."
Fang Xuanling nodded first, but then felt something was wrong.
If this kid is really steady and never makes mistakes, then what kind of official should he be sealed for those meritorious deeds?
If you really have to make some mistakes from time to time, your merits and demerits will be equalized, so that His Majesty will not be embarrassed, and there will be no unsealable things.
But I just taught him not to make mistakes...
Fang Xuanling's old face was sullen, and he couldn't pull it off, so he simply changed the topic: "The compilation of "Dictionary" has reached the final stage, do you have any concerns about the publication?"
He has been the prime minister for more than ten years, and he has a well-thought-out plan for the empire's finances, but he is impatient with his own economic affairs and doesn't bother to pay attention to them at all.A few years ago, Fang Jun hadn't traveled through time, so Fang Yizhi's wife, Mrs. Du, had to spend a lot of thought when returning home to visit her relatives, which is evident.
With Fang Jun the "God of Wealth" in the past two years, the property of the Fang family has expanded rapidly. Fang Xuanling never cared about how much money he has, as long as he doesn't bother him and allows him to learn easily... …
Compiling the book is my own business, and publishing must be handed over to my son, so he doesn't bother to care about it.
My son is perfectly fine with this.
Sure enough, Fang Jun heard the words and said happily: "Father, don't worry, the son has still discussed this matter with His Royal Highness Wei Wang. At that time, the son will be responsible for publishing and delivering the "Dictionary" to the 'Rejuvenation Association' at cost price, and His Royal Highness Wei will subsidize it." Carriage and freight, the "Dictionary" will be distributed to all the prefectures and counties in the world, in order to achieve the purpose of enlightening the people, and within half a year, at most one year, the "Dictionary" will be in every city and every school in the Tang Dynasty."
I have printing technology in my hands, sufficient financial support, and a royal office like the "Rejuvenation Association", which is equivalent to mastering the largest distribution channel in the world. Issuing a "Dictionary" that is destined to become a classic and passed down forever. What's the problem?
Fang Xuanling nodded in relief, picked up the teacup, and said, "Okay, it's okay for my father, you can take care of yourself."
Fang Jun thought to himself, what is going on with you?Called us back with great fanfare, but ended up kicking us out after a few words...
He had no choice but to stand up and leave.
Now that I have already returned home, fortunately I will sleep at home tonight, and it will not be too late to deal with the chores of the academy tomorrow, but just as I stepped into the back house, I saw a personal maid beside my mother standing in Xiao Shu'er's small courtyard Outside the door, stand on tiptoe and look this way.
Seeing Fang Jun's figure, he must be overjoyed immediately, and hastily stepped forward to salute Erlang, saying: "I heard that Erlang returned to the mansion, and the mistress ordered the maid to wait for Erlang here. After seeing you, please come in to discuss matters."
Fang Jun glanced at the small courtyard and asked, "What's wrong with mother?"
The servant girl lowered her head and replied, "Your servant does not know."
Nodding his head, Fang Jun entered the yard, and Xiao Shu'er's maid came to meet him...
