When Zao Zhi hurried over, Xu Yue and Kan Ze were still discussing with great interest, but Fei Qian felt that if the two people were allowed to continue the discussion with questions and answers, they might not be able to do it by nightfall. Once it is over, the discussion between the two of them must not be interrupted.
"Leave the matter of presenting the calendar to someone..." Fei Qian said to Xu Yue.
Fei Qian said to Xu Yue in a big way, and he was not bragging. In the Chinese officialdom, this has always been the case. No matter how loud a small person shouts, it cannot be worth a whisper from a big person. Fei Qian also said at the moment It can be regarded as a person who shocked the Han court by stomping his feet, and the weight of his words was naturally more effective than that of Xu Yue, who was a local official.
Liu Hong painstakingly corrected the time deviation based on the Taichu calendar and the Quadruple Calendar, and added some issues about the moon phases, and compiled a new calendar. The original intention was to dedicate it to the court, but he was full of enthusiasm. After visiting Xu County, I suddenly realized that what I was wearing was a cold butt...
It's smelly, hard, and cold.
In Xu County, on the one hand, the frontline matters, and on the other hand, the foreign envoys coming to the DPRK are already very busy. How can they have time to care about the new calendar and the old calendar?
Therefore, the transcript that Xu Yue submitted was as silent as a stone. After waiting for two decades, Xu Yue felt that it had no effect, so he simply took the scroll and came to Chang'an, hoping to find Fei Qian for some help. …
Seeing Fei Qian say this, Xu Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He felt that although his junior brother wasted his academic talents, he could still be of some help, so he couldn't help but reveal a relieved smile on his face. He raised his hands and thanked Fei Qian: "In this case, I would like to thank General Hussar..."
"It doesn't have to be like this. Master's business is someone's business, so why be polite..." Fei Qian waved his hand and said, "Master really doesn't want to come to Guanzhong? There is so much unrest in Shandong..."
Fei Qian also wanted to ask Liu Hong to come to Guanzhong. After all, he had been in the Han Dynasty for so long, and he had met math masters like Liu Hong and Xu Yue, and he was also a person who studied astronomy and other advanced applied mathematics. But unfortunately, Xu Yue heard that After hearing Fei Qian's words, he shook his head, sighed, and said: "Master is old and has difficulty moving..."
Fei Qian was silent and sighed lowly for a long time.
All in all, Master Liu Hong must be in his sixties or seventies...
At this age in the Han Dynasty, people could already carry a walking stick and roam the countryside, knocking whoever they wanted...
Of course, according to Liu Hong's character, he would not be able to do such a fishy thing. However, the preferential treatment policy for the elderly in the Han Dynasty also reflected the scarcity of elderly people and the low average life span of this era.
It's probably not a good thing for Master Liu Hong to have to travel all the way and be tired... so when he thinks about this, Fei Qian can only express regret...
But what makes Fei Qian even more regretful is what lies behind.
Xu Yue also wanted to go back and was unwilling to stay in Guanzhong. He said that he wanted to go back to serve Liu Hong and was unwilling to stay in Guanzhong for a long time...
Then even Kan Ze said that he wanted to pursue academic progress and pursue the distant stars and night sky...
This is crazy...
Apart from anything else, Fei Qian still feels that Kan Ze is quite comfortable as his assistant. Now not only has he failed to kidnap Xu Yue, but Xu Yue wants to take Kan Ze away. This is simply...
But we can’t say no openly, because in terms of the social ethics of the Han Dynasty, the pursuit of academic progress is positive energy, a model, a good deed, and something worthy of praise. Some local governors even heard that their officials were leaving their jobs. What kind of studies should be approved happily to show that one still has a place and is waiting for him to return after completing his studies?
However, Fei Qian saw Zao Zhi at a glance and immediately thought of an idea. Originally, Fei Qian called Zao Zhi just to take a look at the latest calendar, and then add the new calendar compiled by Liu Hong to the Agricultural Bachelor's I went to class to correct the seasonal errors caused by the four-element calendar for more than a hundred years. As a result, such a situation suddenly occurred, which made Fei Qian feel that he could combine this aspect of Zaozhi to make some articles. .
True, article.
"Senior brother, it's natural to return to Shanyang, and I won't stop you..." Fei Qian first comforted and set the tone, and then said, "It's just... Master is dedicating new experiences to Danjie, not for fame. I don’t ask for salary, but I do it for the common people of the world and the importance of the country..."
Naturally, Xu Yue would not object to such words, and he nodded frequently to express his approval.
"However... the current society is in turmoil, although this new calendar is good... when it is implemented..." Fei Qian sighed.
This is true. Although Fei Qian has the ability to directly bypass the local officials in Xu County who use chicken feathers as arrows and directly deliver the new calendar to the court, and assuming that Liu Xie also approves it, he wants to promote it to It is still a very painful problem all over the world.
Because Liu Xie doesn't have much power at all, and Cao Cao's political group has no intention to help with this matter now, for Cao Cao, solving Yuan Shao is the most important thing, and the rest must be put aside first.
Xu Yue opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but finally shook his head and sighed.
"Naturally, someone in Guanzhong will implement this calendar, which will greatly benefit farmers and mulberry trees..." Fei Qian continued, "But the farmers in the world are not just in Guanzhong. Just like this, doesn't it undermine the master's hard work?"
"I wonder what good advice the hussar general has?" Although Xu Yue is a mathematical talent, it does not mean that he lacks political emotional intelligence.
"Reediting the Book of Agriculture and Mulberry... Well, how about taking the Twenty-Four Seasons as its title?" Fei Qian said loudly, "Now agriculture is divided into five subjects, fields, crops, sunflowers, fruits, and clothing, which can be combined with the new calendar. With the twenty-four seasonal orders, what should be done when and what should be done, engrave pictures and texts, and publish them all over the world! Only then can we live up to Master’s ten years of hard work..."
The current Bachelor of Agriculture established by Fei Qian actually adopts the division of subjects in later universities, and is divided into five subjects: field, grass, sunflower, fruit, and clothing. Although it is stipulated that a Bachelor of Agriculture can apply for graduation by passing three subjects, but most agricultural students Bachelors hold back their energy and must complete all five subjects of mathematics before it counts, otherwise they seem to be inferior to others.
Fields naturally refer to the knowledge about land such as the measurement of various acres, rotational cultivation, fine cultivation, equipment, fertilization, water conservancy, etc.; grass refers to the sowing and harvesting of crops such as millet, beams, rice, beans, wheat, etc. Related knowledge about seed preparation and so on; sunflowers are various vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage, and courgettes; fruits are mostly trees, jujubes, peaches, plums and other fruit trees; clothes are mainly the cultivation and production of mulberry and hemp. Weaving, and now adding cotton…
After hearing this, Xu Yue couldn't help but feel a little moved, and suddenly started to ponder.
Fei Qian then said to Zaozhi: "The agricultural books handed down today may have been written in the Warring States Period or in the early Han Dynasty. None of them are in line with the current times... What's more, the tools for farming and mulberry farming are also very different nowadays. In ancient times, stone was mostly used, but later on. There are also differences between copper and iron used today...so they are both undesirable..."
On this point, Fei Qian is not deceiving, but the real situation.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with the promotion of iron tools and ox farming as the main symbol, China's agricultural productivity took a leap. However, the iron farm tools at that time were mostly small hoe, hoes, hoes and the like, and the number of iron plows was very small, and their shapes were Originally, the promotion of cattle farming was still very preliminary.
The unification of Qin was originally supposed to create favorable conditions for the development of productive forces, but the short-lived Qin Dynasty caused China to fall into chaos again. It was not until Liu Bang ended the conflict between Chu and Han and reunified China that it re-entered the a relatively stable period.
By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, productivity reached a new level. Marked by the invention and promotion of the "coupling plow", iron plow and oxen farming became popular in the Yellow River Basin and was promoted to other areas. The increase in agricultural output also brought great benefits to the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu's military campaign against the Huns was a success.
In the development of the agricultural economy during the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties, the Guanzhong region was in a leading position. After Shang Yang's reform, the Qin State implemented a policy of rewarding farming wars for a long time. The agricultural economy developed rapidly, and cattle farming was promoted to a greater extent than the six countries in the Kanto region. After the Han Dynasty, It was no exception. The farmers in Guanzhong once became a standard example for the whole of China.
At this time, a number of books appeared to guide farming and mulberry farming, the most famous of which was "The Book of Pan Sheng", which for a time became the standard guiding reading for almost all agricultural studies in the Han Dynasty.
However, with the passage of time, not to mention other places, even the climate in Guanzhong has become very different from that during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Dry land has increased, temperatures have dropped, continuous land reclamation has resulted in reduced vegetation, reduced water storage capacity, etc. , all lead to great deviations in production conditions, so it is undoubtedly a huge mistake to use the previous agricultural books as guidance.
Zao Zhi basically had no objections to anything that was beneficial to Nong Sang, and this time was no exception. He thought Fei Qian called him back just to discuss this matter, so he naturally nodded in approval, but also said: "... … This matter will naturally be of great benefit to the people and will have eternal merits… However, the compilation of this book and the consideration of every word and sentence take a lot of time… This…”
Fei Qian laughed and said: "This book does not mean that it can be written by just two people, senior brother and Zijing. It can be done by gathering the efforts of everyone... Senior brother is good at calendaring and seasonal affairs, and Zijing is good at farming and mulberry affairs. They can complement each other and provide an outline. As for the general affairs, as for the details, just let others help compile them..."
Xu Yue and Zao just glanced at each other, feeling quite moved for a moment.
Fei Qian has also read "The Book of Pansheng". The biggest problem with this type of books is that they are not written for ordinary farmers at all. They are like memoranda for their own family. They are not easy to understand at all. This is for most people who are widely illiterate. For farmers and women, it is undoubtedly still like a heavenly book, and even if they read it, they will not understand it.
For example, write something like "...the rain in the first month, the earth's energy rises, the soil grows, the old roots can be pulled out, the soil is strong, the fields are black...", such a description, let alone farmers, even Ordinary gentry children may not know what is being said after watching it...
So this time, we are going to publish a book of engravings with pictures and texts. Firstly, it can promote mulberry farming. Secondly, it can also promote the promotion and progress of engraving technology. Thirdly, it seems that it can also sell a lot of new mass-produced bamboo paper... …
Wait, maybe we can win over a wave of people's hearts and win over a group of idle noblemen...
While Fei was concentrating on thinking, he suddenly felt that this impromptu matter he had come up with seemed to be very promising, and he couldn't help but persuade Xu Yue again: "This will be of great benefit to the world and will contribute to the country! When the master heard about it, he would definitely be happy to agree!" I also hope that senior brother will not refuse! You should think of all sentient beings in the world!"
After saying that, Fei Qian left the table and bowed. Xu Yue was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and said with emotion: "I have often heard that Qiao Qian is worried about the country and the common people. Now that I have seen it, what he said is true! Anyway, It doesn’t matter, someone is greedy for this false reputation and regards it as this book!”
For a time, everyone in the hall was happy...
…Here is the enchanting dividing line…
Fei Qiang gradually implemented relevant strategies in Guanzhong, and everything went smoothly. However, among Sichuan and Shu, he originally thought that he was also a smooth sailing, but now he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
It's not a problem with the Prophecy Palace project, nor is it the officials in Chengdu who are making things difficult, but the contempt from their peers...
Uh, no.
Qiao Bing did not think that the bull-nosed people next door were his peers, and those guys who pretended to be gods and ghosts were low-level liars. How could they be compared with the classic prophecy theory of Confucius, who was of noble birth?
But the problem is, ordinary people don’t understand...
What kind of dojo is that guy Zuo Ci doing these days? The vigorous work has attracted a lot of ordinary people. Although Qiao Bing sneered at it, ordinary people naturally like the excitement, watching, and offering incense, and even People selling snacks and snacks are here, and there is a huge crowd every day.
With the increasing flow of people, the Chu Palace next to Zuoci Taoist Temple naturally attracted the attention of ordinary people. Some curious people in Sichuan and Sichuan stretched their heads and looked around, and asked Qiao Bing and other people in the Chu Palace. Some of the staff said that the "talismans" hanging in the Prophecy Palace seemed to be very good, and they didn't know whether they were used to keep people safe, to give birth to a child, or for something else...
Qiao Bing jumped up and angrily scolded these blind ordinary people, saying that this is the supreme "Hetu Luoshu"! How can it be compared with those ghost paintings that pretend to be gods and ghosts?!
"So powerful? Can you tell the future and reach the world?" People were skeptical.
Qiao Bing and others naturally responded proudly.
"So... um, do you know where the cow I lost a few days ago has gone?" Suddenly a member of the public shouted.
"This..." Qiao Bing was stunned for a moment, and then said, "How can such a trivial matter be included in the prophecy?! The prophecy is a major event in the world..."
"But losing the cow is a big deal to me!" the people shouted reluctantly, "If you can't check the cow, how can you tell whether my wife is pregnant with a boy or a girl?"
"This..." Qiao Bing was stunned. How could I know if your mother-in-law had a boy or a girl? No, why do I need to predict this? What I want to predict are all important events of the family and the country. How can it be such trivial matters?!
"This won't work, and that won't work either. What's the use of this picture of yours? Let's go, let's go, a bunch of bastards, they are not as powerful as the Zuo Xianren next to them... Let me tell you, this Zuo Xianren..." This
A few people didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. Anyway, they saw Qiao and couldn't tell, so they started to encourage him and then led others to the Taoist temple next door.
Seeing such a situation, Qiao Bing didn't understand anymore, and he was almost like a fool, so he gritted his teeth and stared at the Taoist temple on the side, his eyes almost bursting with fire: "This damn bull nose... look at me
