Soon, Zeng Youwei discovered that this "Agriculture" was based on actual data, and all the records in it came from a certain farm.
The compiler's purpose in writing this book is also to facilitate the learning of people all over the world.
Food is the most important thing for the people.
Land is the foundation of farmers, farmers are the foundation of a country, agriculture is a major matter, and agricultural affairs are the top priority.
Only by studying farming and learning farming can you become the belly of all people and feed the world's famine.
The editor said that although he may not be able to feed everyone, he is willing to take the lead, set a precedent, and lay a "possibly feasible" path for the world.
"I really didn't expect that someone was actually doing this kind of thing." Zeng Youwei sighed. He could imagine that if this person observes it for one, two, or many years, he will definitely be able to write a book on agriculture that can be passed down to the world.
.
This book seems to be a single book, but it cannot reach the hands of ordinary people who cannot read a word. But what if it reaches the hands of officials who specialize in agricultural affairs?
Between an official who knows nothing and an official who can slowly explore with a reference standard even if he doesn't understand, the latter obviously has a better chance of winning.
In addition to "Agriculture", the set of books that Gu Qingling sent as a gift also included "Miscellaneous Notes on Nature".
"Natural Miscellaneous Notes" is not a book, but a series. One book is based on ten kinds of plants and observes and records the life of the plants.
It is recorded in the book that the observation time is short now, and the observations and records are basically plants with relatively short life cycles. In order to ensure the authenticity and scientificity of this systematic book, life species with other life cycles will be added in the future.
The purpose of this series is to tell those who are interested in nature, on the land we live in, those plants, those animals, how they survive in this world, in the hope that one day, someone can really read
Understand everything.
To understand all things, why should we understand all things?
After a year of observation, they discovered that no plant grows "alone". It is closely related to the environment in which it grows and other species growing around it.
For example, rice needs water, soil, and sunlight to grow. The situation when it is cultivated artificially is completely different from how it grows in the wild. Under artificial circumstances...
The following is a comparison picture, which makes it clear that the reason why rice under artificial cultivation grows taller is because people help it eliminate its competitors and add food to it.
Put it in the background of the world, that is "all things".
All things grow at their own pace. If we don't understand it, if we accidentally destroy its original habitat, what will it become?
The extinction of one or several species will lead to huge changes in the species in the food chain or life chain, and sometimes these changes are fatal.
Extending it to us humans, we are actually one of them. What if the chain we destroyed affects ourselves?
Rather than knowing nothing, it is better to understand everything and prevent that day from coming.
…
When Zheng Tian saw this paragraph, he was silent for a long time.
"Sir, these words seem to make some sense, but there seems to be something..." Something doesn't feel right. Zheng Tianyi can only use four words to describe it: "Not quite right."
But he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Zeng Youwei thought for a while, understood what Zheng Tianyi meant, and said, "Do you think that the person who compiled this book put people on the chain of all things and looked down on himself, which is unreasonable?
"
"We are human beings, how can those things compare to us?"
"Yeah, it's true that we can't compare with us, but the reason why we humans can live is because we fill our stomachs..." Zeng Youwei said thoughtfully, "Food is the life of the people, and food is very important.
One Ring. If one day something goes wrong with the food we rely on for survival, will we not be affected?"
Zheng Tianyi was stunned, yes, if one day, their "food" is affected, then...
He seemed to understand somewhat what the theory of everything mentioned in this "Natural Miscellaneous Notes" was referring to.
Zeng Youwei: "There are many things that can be eaten, but there are not many things that can fill the stomach, and there are only a few kinds. The previous "Agriculture" studied how to grow these things that can fill the stomach, and this book
"Natural Miscellaneous Notes" talks about it from the perspective of the growth of all things. I want to see how all things in the world grow. The bottom line is to study 'survival'."
However, it includes people into "all things".
Zeng Youwei was able to understand it, but he was a little confused as to why the editor would expand the scope so much.
Why not start directly with “food”?
Isn’t it fundamental to start with “food”?
Suddenly, Zeng Youwei became interested in this editor. He called his boy and sent a letter to the Yao family, wanting to meet the editor.
When Gu Qingling heard the news, she raised the corners of her lips slightly.
She knew that among all the successful scholars, how many would miss the search for "truth"?
If she hadn't been able to take out all the textbooks from the nine-year compulsory education in her previous life, she would have wanted to take them out directly and show them to those people, so that they would know what physics, chemistry, biology...
A person's life is full of exploration, but the world is so vast that searching for a lifetime is just a glimpse of the leopard in a tube, and only a tiny speck of it.
If someone sees that point and thinks they have seen the whole world, that is a big joke.
"Since they want to meet, then bring them over and let them meet."
Gu Qingling asked the people below to send the book editor over.
She was not in a hurry, she was waiting for Zeng Youwei to come to their door.
Sure enough, Zeng Youwei and the others learned from the editor that the contents of the book were indeed written by him, but compiled according to the wishes of Mrs. Yao.
As a result, the person whom you once wanted to meet became Mrs. Yao and Gu Qingling.
When Zeng Youwei saw Gu Qingling, he was extremely surprised, because as far as he knew, Mrs. Yao was already in her old age, but he didn't expect that she looked so young. If he saw her outside, he would definitely think that she was
Which young woman?
"Every distinguished guest welcomes you, please take a seat. It happened that last year the village harvested a tree of good tea leaves and had them roasted. You can also comment and comment." Gu Qingling smiled and asked the eldest maid to collect her tea leaves in the spring.
Take out the box of tea leaves.
The tea was naturally no ordinary thing. It was Gu Qingling who secretly smuggled it out of the aroma-smelling space and let the people below fry it.
Anyone who drinks tea will know that it is something extraordinary as soon as he smells the aroma of tea.
Sure enough, when Zeng Youwei waited for others to see the tea cup, they were all stunned.
If they weren't sure that they knew the type of tea, they would almost think they were drinking some kind of fairy tea.
The front taste is slightly astringent, the back taste is sweet and round, and the tip of the tongue is fragrant...
Oh my God?!
They have never drunk such delicious tea in their lives.
Everyone was full of praise and asked Gu Qingling where the tea was obtained, so it was so good.
I'm afraid it's the tribute tea in front of the palace, and I have to give in when I encounter it.
