Chapter 214

The sun shining for a day was tired in the evening, and lying weakly on the hills to the west, sprinkling thousands of golden light into the bright spring world. The field was covered with golden red, and more beautiful.

The farmers recruited by Wang Su's village are all experienced, and there is basically no big mistake in farming. After watching it for a day, Xu Ping only guided them to increase the distance of the train, reduce the distance of the train, plant them reasonably and make full use of the sunlight, and maintain ventilation in the fields. This is the experience brought by the previous life. It has been summarized through countless practices. Large distances and small distances are the only way to increase yield by dense planting.

Wang Su did as he did. After hearing Xu Ping's evaluation, he felt relieved after hearing what had been hanging around.

After a day of observation, Xu Ping also roughly understood the use of the Drum Leak.

The drum sound not only maintains the working discipline in the field, but also adjusts the rhythm of the work. The old farmer Zhong Si who applauds and drums is experienced. He feels that the drum sounds will be slower if the progress is faster, and that the progress is slower if the rhythm is slower if the pace is slower.

Tian Lu can let Zhong Si grasp the time roughly, how much time it takes to plant rice seedlings at a time, how much time it takes to come back, and how many times it takes to do homework, whether it will become faster or slower after several homework. Zhong Si knew what he saw when Tian Lu was.

With this drum and leak, Zhong Si, who applauded and slapped, could keep the entire team at a certain rhythm and complete the task of the day. It would not happen that it would not be done until it was dark, nor that the sun was still high after it was finished.

It is a good tool to make so many people work in an orderly manner.

Looking at the setting sun in the sky, Xu Ping said to Wang Su: "It's not too early, I should go back. There is no big mistake in farming in Zhongyi's Zhuangzi. As long as the weather is good, the harvest this year will definitely be unwilling."

Wang Su was shocked: "It's already this time, why bother to go back? I killed sheep in my farm and prepared some wine. I will stop drunk tonight! I will get up early tomorrow morning and I can't make a mistake."

Xu Ping smiled and shook his head: "I have old and young people at home, and my wife is pregnant again. Where can I go if I don't go back?"

After saying that, he greeted Liu Xiaoyi and others and said goodbye to Wang Su and the others.

Xu Ping's identity was there, and his personality was not very good with a few people. Except for Wang Su, the others did not try to keep him. After a few polite words, they sent Xu Ping and his party out of the village together.

After walking three or four miles, seeing that it was almost time to reach the Liangjing Post Road, Xu Ping said to Liu Xiaoyi: "There are not many people here, let's put all the wild birds away, don't take them home."

Liu Xiaoyi was a little reluctant and asked, "Officials, why should we release it? Wang Guanren asked many people in the village to help catch it, and took it back to Bopanpan's little lady with a smile. It would be better for us to come out for a day."

"Wild birds are very keen, except for a few species, or have been raised since childhood, and it is extremely difficult to support them. I took them back and saw them happily, but in a few days they all died, which made her bothered her. Why bother! These grasshoppers and fish can make her happy for a few days."

Liu Xiaoyi also heard that adult wild birds were difficult to raise, and he did not have the ability of Sun Qilang, so he hesitated for a while and had to let the shopkeepers release all the birds they caught. Unfortunately, Wang Su ordered the idle shopkeepers to help his group catch birds.

Xu Ping didn't see it at first, and when he saw it, he had already caught a few, so it was hard to say anything. Now, of course, he had to let it go on the road, otherwise he would die after he went home for two days, and Panpan still didn't know what sadness looked like. At her age, the little girl was at a time when sympathy was flooding, so there was no need to take it back to make her feel uncomfortable.

On the first day of the April 1st, the court was on the first day. After the court was over, Xu Ping was called to the back hall to discuss matters.

It turned out to be a memorial on the need for talents in glass business. Because reading glasses won the favor of several ministers and Queen Mother Yang, the memorial was raised in priority and was ranked first, so Xu Ping went over to discuss it.

The officials in Sitianjian were restricted, but the emperor was afraid that someone would use the celestial phenomena to deceive people. Jia Xian did not have any contact with astronomy in Sitianjian, nor did he learn about Liuren Dunjia, and did not have any doubts in this regard. He happily released him and several other people who were proficient in math and joined the glass affairs. Xu Ping did not expect it to be so smooth, and he said a lot of thanks.

Afterwards, Zhao Zhen raised a very serious question. The glass service made a telescope to observe astronomy, allowing Xu Ping to do his best to help the Hanlin Astronomy Academy in the palace make one. Only then did he equip Sitianjian with no problem.

Xu Ping did not report to the telescope, and Yan Su was not a talkative person. The news about Emperor Zhao Zhen did not come from this channel. As for where he heard it, Zhao Zhen did not say it vaguely.

Not only Xu Ping, but other ministers here immediately thought of it, but I was afraid that it was the conspiracy of the Imperial City Office.

Headed by Lu Yijian, several prime ministers endured the attack, but firmly opposed the construction of the Hanlin Astronomy Academy first. Si Tianjian is a national astronomy institution. All matters about the astronomical calendar are based on where to use it. Of course, if there is any new instrument, it is naturally used there first, and there is no reason to try it in the palace first. This is a matter of principle, and the ministers will never give in.

The Hanlin Astronomy Academy has a long history, but in previous dynasties, it was just a place where the emperor himself regarded as a plaything, and was only for the emperor to enjoy, and basically had no astronomical observation function. After entering the Song Dynasty, for the purpose of not trusting any organization and having the same organization to guard against defense, the Hanlin Astronomy Academy became full and became the small Sitianjian in the palace.

The Sitianjian organization belonged to the school of the Secretariat, while the Hanlin Astronomy Academy belonged to the palace, with one external court and the other internal court. The ministers' choice tendency was very obvious. Moreover, it involved the Imperial City Department's investigation, and the ministers present hated it even more. In any case, the inner court did not allow the inner court to gain the upper hand, and they quoted the classics and firmly demanded that the Sitianjian be the main focus.

The Imperial City Department's investigation was the most rampant when Emperor Taizong was Taizong. At that time, it was called Wudesi. Even when the ministers ate last night, Emperor Taizong knew what the meals were eaten last night. Such an institution aroused public anger, and it was not clean, and all kinds of illegal and disorderly affairs emerged one after another, and was attacked by officials in the court. In the end, there was no way. Taizong changed the Wudesi to the Imperial City Department, and clearly stipulated that the ministers should not be investigated and the affairs should be restricted, so that the relationship with the outside dynasty was eased. In fact, after the change to the Imperial City Department, the emperor still used them to explore the affairs. After Zhao Zhen took power, his power was inflated.

The ministers here actually don’t know what the telescope is and what they can see, but they have a clear position and must suppress the momentum of the rise in power of the Inner Dynasties. No matter what the telescope is, since it is useful for observing astronomical phenomena, it must be used first in the Sitian Supervisory Supervision, and with the remaining strength, it can be built in the Hanlin Astronomy Academy.

Song Shou, who spoke the most mean, both mocked Zhao Zhen for using the Imperial City Department to explore affairs in secret, which was a distrust of his ministers. Zhao Zhen could only pretend to be stupid and could not explain. From the time of Emperor Taizong, there were clear restrictions on the power of the Imperial City Department, and some things could only be done but not said, otherwise it might cause a huge storm. Zhao Zhen had to reorganize the psychology of the government after taking power, and then mobilized the Imperial City Department again. It was mainly just to collect civil information and not to spy on the ministers. He himself knew that once he broke through that taboo, it might cause fierce conflicts between the internal and external courts, and it would not end in the end.

In the end, the results of the discussion in the back hall were that both sides took a step back, and Si Tianjian and Hanlin Astronomy Academy each built a telescope to observe the sky at the same time. As for what this telescope looks like and what functions it has, no one knows, but it fell on Xu Ping's head anyway.
