It's that simple.

This is the folk wisdom inherited by ordinary people and farmers.

Lin Te huffed and covered his face with his sleeves and returned to the court.

Lu Mengzheng nodded slightly. There was indeed this method among the people. He knew that if Zhao You had not actually been to the fields, he would definitely not know.

And Liu An, the son of a businessman, was like that.

Lu Mengzheng asked again: "What else did Brother You learn?"

"I originally prepared a piece of wood, which is the same thickness at both ends. How to tell if there is the root and the head there is the one."

Lu Mengzheng smiled: "This guy understands it. Put it in the river, your head is light, your roots are heavy."

Zhao You stuck out his tongue. He felt extremely magical when he learned this method, but who would have thought that Lu Mengzheng actually understood this?

Lu Mengzheng asked again: "What else?"

"The grafting technique ensures that the jujube tree will bear fruit the next year. The most amazing thing is that the jujube wood strips can be grafted onto the wild persimmon tree, and it can actually produce very sweet jujubes."

Liu An then spoke: "You Ge'er grafted it with his own hands."

"Set up, Imperial Garden." The emperor stood up and finally had the opportunity to stand out for his son. Zhao You had proved that he was excellent enough. The emperor also wanted everyone to see with his own eyes and tell him how outstanding his son was.

Zhao You is indeed very outstanding.

He is well educated, has moral character, and is particularly smart.

In the Imperial Garden, when Zhao You talked about the big and small things he had experienced in the past six months of travel, the emperor sat on the ground against the stone railing, quietly wiping his tears.

Lint made an excuse to run away, he was so guilty.

Qian Weiyan wanted to go over and say something to Liu An several times, but Liu An's position was too awkward.

Liu An stood behind the emperor for less than ten steps, and there were only five people standing here with Liu An. Any of these five people were something Qian Weiyan dared not face.

Bisian will beat people.

Kou Zhun turned his back on the scene so terrible that he made people tremble.

Although Lu Mengzheng and Wang Dan are not considered friendly, they are more terrifying than ordinary people when they get angry.

The last one, Xiang Minzhong.

Since Qian Weiyan became an official, he has never said a few words to Xiang Minzhong. Xiang Minzhong doesn't speak very much and makes people confused. Such people are even more afraid of Qian Weiyan.

There is another one. Although these people did not stand together, they kept accompanying the emperor to listen to Zhao You talking about his experience over the past six months. Zhao Changyan is too real. In his eyes, he is not black and white. Zhao You's words have convinced him now. Then he is no longer black, but now white.

Then, these people who provoked impeachment immediately turned from Zhao Changyan's comrades to enemies.

It turned against each other in an instant, so quickly.

The emperor was listening to Zhao You talking about his experiences there, but Liu An was talking to the Sanjin, Bi Shi'an and Wang Dan.

Liu An said to the five people: "There is one thing you may not believe, but I still want to say that this matter is very troublesome. It is not too much to say evil words to confuse the public, but it is a fact."

"Speak, there's so much nonsense." Kou Zhun replied impatiently to Liu An.

Liu An looked around and whispered: "The New Year is coming soon. There will be a big incident in Bianliang City during the New Year. I have secretly ordered that the New Year game will be suspended this year."

"Talk the key points." What Kou Zhun wants to listen to is a big deal.

"Yeah, the capital city will have an earthquake, and it will be three consecutive times."

Lu Mengzheng didn't quite understand the word: "Earthquake?"

"In the book of the Later Han Dynasty, Zhang Heng's seismometer."

When talking about earth movement, everyone present understands.

Lu Mengzheng asked very seriously: "What evidence do you have?"

"I say you must believe the evidence of this kind of thing. In the first month of the Bianliang earthquake, I don't know how big it is, but the destructiveness is definitely not small. In February, there were four prefectures such as Ji (now Ji County, Hebei), Yi (now Chengdu, Sichuan), Li (now Hanyuan, Sichuan), and Ya (now Ya'an, Sichuan). Then in April, the Xingzhou and Yingzhou earthquakes."

"You..." Kou Zhun wanted to say Liu An, you are making a joke.

Not only did the exact time of the earthquake predicted, but the location was also mentioned in such detail.

But Kou Zhun didn't say anything further. He just said, "Are you sure?"

"Unsure, but 70% can't escape."

Liu An remembered that in history, the Song Zhenzong changed the reign name next year. Generally speaking, there was no major event and the reign name would not change the reign name. The recorded together with the reign name was an earthquake, which mentioned seven locations.

That is Beijing, Ji, Yi, Li, Ya, Xing, Ying.

After Liu An checked, it was true that these six prefectures were in fact, so he determined that an earthquake occurred here.

There are only records in history that earthquakes are recorded, and there is no record of how large it is.

Besides, no one could calculate earthquake magnitude in ancient times.

Lu Mengzheng asked Liu An: "What do you think?"

"I don't know, I have a way to do this kind of thing, but I don't know how to deal with the court and whether to be able to talk about it by the officials. I remember that there are records in the book that whenever such things happen, emperors of all dynasties will definitely sacrifice to heaven and earth, and then write some sins and edicts. I want something practical about these things."

Xiang Minzhong said, "The earth-moving incident is nothing more than to prevent bandits in chaos, to rescue disaster victims in time, to prohibit raising food prices, mobilizing medicinal materials, and preventing plagues afterwards. Just do this. Good ministers have learned from all generations. That's right, what will happen in the court? You can really make a fool of yourself."

Lu Mengzheng asked again: "What do you think?"

Liu An asked back: "Is Mr. Lu believed?"

"If you don't believe it, you would rather believe it than believe it. If you dare to say it here, you will be sure. But this earth-moving thing can be deduced, and you have a great way of doing it."

Liu An patted his head: "I have no Taoism, and I am not a person with a strange power and a turbulent spirit. I can't explain this. But I do know that there will be earthquakes next year."

"Okay, what do you think?" Lu Mengzheng was already asking the third question.

"Give me military power, I will mobilize the imperial guards and the troops of these six states to prepare in advance. Once the earth moves, they can be dispatched immediately to ensure the safety of the people and give the people peace."

Kou Zhun said, "Give it to you in the name of replacing defense. You write a copy to the local prefect and the commander, and I will sign and prepare the letter. If not, you will explain it to the official by May next year. If so, it will be really troublesome."

Liu An asked back: "What's the trouble? Find someone to take the blame, and then shouted that the official's wise and made arrangements in advance. There were no casualties among the people, and no trouble. This is the wise and this is the benevolent king."

"The blame?"

All five old guys shook their heads. Who can bear such a big deal?

But the six people did reach a unified opinion. In the name of replacing defense, Liu An was allowed to mobilize the troops of these six prefectures. The imperial guards in Bianliang City were easy to say. The Privy Council temporarily gave Liu An some authorization in the name of training, and everything could be recorded.

At least the emperor's side, the five old guys unanimously said that Liu An would do it himself.
