Chapter 1476: Great achievements

Blame?

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned again at this moment.

How can you blame such a great contribution?

Just because a Harvest Festival was held here?

Jifan is indeed a far-reaching person.

What crime did he have?

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but feel happy.

Finally he came back to his senses.

Grain...produced.

The importance of this food is of course unnecessary.

A few days ago, the prince was farming in the West Mountain, which had already caused a lot of criticism. Emperor Hongzhi naturally did not care about these criticisms. Since the prince liked it, just do it.

But now...

“There is such a great knowledge to cultivate land.”

Unlike the new staple food, this time, the original rice was used to greatly increase its yield.

"If so..." Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were bright and he stared at Fang Jifan: "Isn't this mean that in the future, the grain output will not be only 700 kilograms, and it may even increase to 800, 900, or 1,000 kilograms? Then... what about sweet potatoes and potatoes?"

When Emperor Hongzhi finished speaking, everyone was shocked.

Everyone only thinks about rice, but ignores that everything is interconnected.

Through research, through continuous cultivation of good seeds, the yield can be greatly increased. Rice can be used, and wheat can be used naturally. As for those high-yield potatoes and sweet potatoes, the yield is even higher?

Just now, Liu Jian and others were concerned about the increase in rice, but there was still a calculation that was not clear. Not only could many crops increase their yields, but... the current yield of 700 kilograms per mu is just the result of current research. However... if the research is carried out continuously, it means that in ten or a hundred years, the grain output can be increased.

This...is just the beginning.

"Today, the prince and Fang Qing family did not increase their food, nor did they solve the current major problems, but found a solution to the foundation of the world."

"The Zhou Dynasty had 800 years of the world, but it was only 400 years old. After the Tang and Song dynasties, the country's fortune was even worse than before. The reason was that during the peaceful and prosperous times, the population was increasing, and the people could not survive. At that time, there were firewood everywhere. Although there were occasional kings who could turn the tide, they could not solve the root problem, and in the end it was just a national fortune that lasted for only ten or twenty years."

Emperor Hongzhi said this: "The prince and Fang Qing family are not imitating the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. They have found a key, which has opened a new door for us. With this door, I and my descendants can enter this treasure mountain. Even if we are investing manpower and material resources, we must continue the research on agriculture. If it fails in one year, it will take ten years or ten years. We can wait a hundred years, but as long as we can increase production, the people in the world will be free from hunger."

After Emperor Hongzhi said that, he looked carefully at Xiao Jing beside him and said seriously: "You can write it down. After you go back, you will immediately give it an oral instruction and order a man to build a stone yard and store it in the palace."

Xiao Jing dared not be negligent, he was busy listening with his breath.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "My Ming Zhu family has been in the country for 150 years. Now the signs of agricultural science have emerged. I have seen it with my own eyes and know that the way to govern the world is not to defend itself, but to study it. Later generations should remember it. If it goes against my will, both man and god will be angry and the heaven will hate it."

Xiao worshipped: "I obey the order."

Liu Jian and others also suddenly realized.

At this time, I heard what Your Majesty said, and suddenly I was enlightened.

Yes, increasing the production of grain is nothing. At least now, the Ming Dynasty has not been hungry all over the place. But the real thing is that it has found a way out to solve the food problem. With this way out, the court can do its best to invest and encourage agricultural research, and now it can produce 700 kilograms, and in the future... it will only be more.

If they are replaced with high-yield grain, they can produce 2,000 kilograms, 3,000 kilograms per mu. What's wrong with this...?

"Your Majesty, this is a great question." Liu Jian couldn't help but sigh.

He glanced at Jiang Wen kneeling on the ground. He was a scholar. Although Lunqian was taken away by someone, he was also wearing a Confucian shirt.

He heard what Jiang Wen had just talked about with his own ears. Does it make sense? It makes sense very reasonable.

But so what?

There are thousands of truths in the world... I can't even get to the prince and plant food, which will solve the problem of the present and the future. There may be no problem with ten thousand truths.

And isn’t Jiang Wen in front of him the whole dynasty, or he was the one he was back then or even now?

At this moment, Liu Jian began to wipe his tears and bow to the ground with a trembling trembling: "Your Majesty, the old man is ashamed and ashamed. Over the years, Your Majesty has treated me kindly and given me so much love. For the past 150 years, the court has used the eight-part essay to select scholars. I thought I could attract talents from all over the world, so I could share your worries for your majesty and comfort the people. But now... the inside and outside of the temple are not as good as the prince. This agronomy is related to the country and the people. His Royal Highness needs to experience and do what it takes to shake the world today. The scholars in the world have turned a blind eye to the court. What is the use of recruiting scholars?"

Liu Jian said, but he couldn't continue talking anymore, and his voice became hoarse in an instant.

Li Dongyang and Xie Qianren naturally knew what Liu Jian meant.

He said that he wanted talent every day, and scholars were talents. The emperor should choose talents and use talents, and be eager to seek talent. But after so many years, how many talents are there? Agriculture is like this. The prince needs to go to the fields to cultivate himself. The problems solved by the prince and the Duke of Qi are enough to make the civil and military officials in the court ashamed.

To be honest, Liu Jian himself felt a little ashamed of taking these salary, and they were not as good as the prince.

It's really embarrassing.

Not only did he feel embarrassed, but he also felt that this man named Jiang Wen was a shame among scholars.

Jiang Wen is already like a bolt from the blue at this moment.

He just swears that the prince should not do anything, and that he should do anything.

But now...

Now he was ashamed and at a loss.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and his eyes also fell on Jiang Wen: "Jiang Qing family, what did you say just now?"

Jiang Wen: "..."

Emperor Hongzhi stretched his face and said sternly: "Say it again, say it loudly, let everyone hear it!"

Jiang Wen was already scared and his face turned miserable, and he trembled. For a moment, he didn't dare to speak out, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

It is also fear, the fear that just now is different from the fear that now.

My fear just now was that I, Jiang Wen, was indeed afraid of death, but as a scholar who understands things, I have my own reasons. Even if I had to admit defeat, I still refused to change my original intention.

But now the fear exudes a sense of despair.

His Royal Highness went to the land and could benefit so many people. His achievements could even catch up with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. How could it be... How could it be...

He looked up and looked at the cheers of many people around him.

But his eyes were staring at the piles of rice that were piled up like mountains.

That is food... it is food that can save countless people.

If this is nothing, then... Dayu just cured the water, and Shennong just tasted hundreds of herbs.

I...wrong?

He felt a split headache.

Even if the facts are right in front of him, he cannot accept his failure.

After all, since he was born, his parents have given him great expectations. So, he was five years old and had been in trouble for more than ten years. Although he had not won the exam for the first time, he was finally lucky to have the honor of a scholar.

The fame of a scholar is his only pride and it is also earned after half a lifetime.

Are these...what is wrong?

If you are wrong, then what is wrong is your life and everything about you.

His mind was blank.

Suddenly, he slowly stretched out his hand and covered his heart. He had not shed tears when he was facing the Jinyiwei, but now... he was filled with tears.

A scholar knows the world without going out.

Half of the Analects of Confucius can rule the world.

The principles of the world are all hidden in the Four Books and Five Classics.

Only by reading can you understand the truth and ambition. Only by reading can you understand the principles of the world.

He has always thought so. He has read books and is proud of it, but now...

It seems that more and more things are beyond explanation, the Four Books and Five Classics.

So much so that now, he has fallen into such an embarrassing situation.

He still knelt down, but he reached out and tore the collar of his clothes on his heart, wishing he could tear off the Confucian shirt on his body.

Something must be wrong.

But...he still couldn't explain.

"Student... was wrong..." The hot tears fell down, and Jiang Wen's eyes were already blood-red, and he said in a daze: "No, no, the students are not wrong. Even if the students can be wrong, is it wrong in the book? This is the truth of the saints and wise men. How could they be wrong?"

He said this, but he was shocked again, his eyes were dull, and he said with gritted teeth: "If you go down the land, go to cultivate the land, and study agriculture, you can benefit the world. Then... then... what's the use of these Four Books and Five Classics?"

He was a little crazy and howled with his head raised.

"So what's the use of reading and what's the use of?"

The so-called supremacy of Confucianism is not just a simple example of listing Confucianism as an official school. Behind this is the push of the Four Books and Five Classics and those Confucian sages to the point of being a saint, so that no one dares to question it. Therefore, these scholars are becoming more and more blindly arrogant and despising all knowledge, but now... Jiang Wen is completely confused.

If there are other knowledge and principles in the world, even more benefits to the people of the world than the books you read, then... what is the use of these Four Books and Five Classics?

After reading books for so many years, I finally came up with the word "useless".

How desperate he was, he suddenly stood up, shaking his clothes, shaking them up, but laughed to the sky: "Haha...haha..."
