At this moment, Guangzhou is sunny and sunny. Since Cheng Zhijie quelled the barbarian rebellion, the agricultural school and medical school have begun to take root in Guangzhou.
Perhaps because the living environment here is much worse than that in the north, the agricultural institutions teach the people to farm the fields and doctors in the hospital to cure diseases and save people, which makes them more easily accepted by the local people.
Even after working hard over the years, it has formed its own unique position.
If you look outside Guangzhou at this moment, the most common thing in Guangzhou is three types of cultivated crops.
One is sugarcane, the other is black tea, and the other is naturally rice.
Yes, Guangzhou already has a certain scale of rice, and even Chameng rice.
When Master Yuan was in the Chameng rice that he had brought from Zhenla, he tried to plant in Guangzhou himself, and he could have achieved two harvests a year. In fact, if the ground force could not keep up, three harvests a year would have been the same as that of the fact that he would have been unable to keep up with the ground force.
Not that it cannot be done.
Even so, the appearance of this kind of thing surprised Master Yuan.
Before leaving Guangzhou, I brought the seeds to Gaoling Academy, but I am still cultivating them in the Academy and want to try planting them in the north.
There are some results, but Li Tai thinks that wheat can still support the rising population now, so this thing is more just experimentally planted, and it is more suitable for cultivation in northern regions.
At the same time, we also accumulate seeds. After all, there are only so many seeds that Master Yuan brought back, and it will take time to cultivate them on a large scale.
At this moment, a young man is working hard in the fields. Because of the climate, even if it is the New Year, he can still harvest a wave of rice.
Although Guangzhou is cooked three times a year, it cannot be said that there is too much food to eat.
Because they still have to trade with the southern barbarians, although the barbarians have gradually become Chinese, they have begun to live a half-agricultural and half-hunting life.
But as long as they have not been fully Chineseized, their farming skills are probably to sow seeds, depending on how much they eat.
Of course, perhaps it is precisely because of their rough farming techniques that these southern barbarians have gradually become mature barbarians.
They know Chinese, speak Chinese, and even have the habit of farming, but they still live in various mountain basins.
"Sixth Young Master, thank you so much for your hard work today!" A voice that was quite calm but still young was heard.
"Wang Jingxian, don't be polite, today I will treat it as a stimulus!" Feng Zhidai smiled at this moment,
"And you asked me to come and harvest rice. To be honest, watching these rice be harvested by yourself, I feel like a good harvest!"
"It's good if the Sixth Master can get used to it!" Wang Zhifang smiled when he heard Feng Zhidai's words, "I have brought casual clothes to the Sixth Master. After taking a shower in the college, we will have a special refreshment made by our school!"
"I can't miss it!" Feng Zhidai looked at Wang Zhifang and said, "The best place for your school is that you have prepared hot water at this moment. To be honest, even my mansion may not be able to prepare so much."
Wang Zhifang said: "This is somewhat thanks to the blessing of King Wei, and a small coal mine was surveyed in Qingyuan.
King Wei brought many craftsmen among the students and teachers sent here and built a small coal mine in the local area.
This coal mine is too small to supply the entire Guangzhou, but it is still more than enough to supply coal at an agricultural institution!"
Hearing this, Feng Zhidai could also feel the pride in Wang Zhifang's words.
To be honest, even though the productivity was relatively backward in ancient times, the Pearl River Delta Prefecture still developed very well.
It is very different from Guangzhou. The Tang Dynasty was demoted to other states in Lingnan Road.
But only Guangzhou is the only official promotion who will be sent here. From this we can see the importance of Guangzhou in fact.
Of course, for Li Tai, he naturally looked down on this little production in Guangzhou, and even Li Tai disliked Guangzhou's poor productivity.
But Li Tai knew very well that if Goguryeo is killed in the future, China will have enough population savings and want to fully develop Southeast Asia or even develop marine interests, then Guangzhou will be the most important fulcrum of the entire plan!
Therefore, no matter whether it is a letter or other policies in Guangzhou, as long as Li Tai feels that it can improve the Guangzhou Agricultural University, it will be implemented immediately.
Of course, due to distance and various reasons, it is usually only handled together when sending students to the agricultural institution every year.
After all, it is too expensive to go to Guangzhou with just one person or two each time, and it is easy for people to have all kinds of things to lose when they are on the road.
If there is not even a single person to inform, to put it more seriously, it will be impossible to know that the deep mountains and old forests are taken away by wolves.
So it is better to conduct group activities every time you send students to Guangzhou.
If you take a step back, even if there are various adverse reactions that are not adapted to the local environment, there will be more people around you at least not all lying down, and it will be much faster to recover if someone takes care of you.
Soon, after taking a shower and changing clothes, Feng Zhidai sat in the courtyard with Wang Zhifang to enjoy the tranquility.
In front of the two, there was a strong aroma of black tea, sugar as ingredients, and a simple radish cake.
Feng Zhidai was having refreshments and said, "It's almost the Chinese New Year, is there anything missing in the academy?
If so, Wang Jingxian, don’t be polite. If you tell me, you will definitely prepare enough for you.”
"I thanked the teachers and students of the college here, but I think you know the situation of the Agricultural College. There is really no shortage of things. Even the barbarians will send a lot of things every year during the Chinese New Year!" Wang Zhifang said,
"To be honest, except for spring and autumn, it is really hot and rainy, otherwise this place is a good place for retirement."
Feng Zhidai looked at Wang Zhifang's calm attitude and said nothing more.
Because there is really no shortage of agricultural institutions in terms of daily necessities. Perhaps to some extent, the entire Guangzhou is increasingly dependent on agricultural institutions.
Relying on teachers from agricultural institutions to impart knowledge from local people, relying on students from agricultural institutions to convey farming methods, relying on medical walks from medical institutions to help the wounded, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers regardless of ethnicity.
Many tribes will send their finest products from the harvest of the year to the agricultural institutions for farming next year or to thank the doctor for helping him.
For the sake of gain, I hope that next year, the agricultural institution will not forget itself or its tribe.
Needless to say, the solar calendar that is most suitable for Guangzhou in this era is just the local solar term calendar left by Master Yuan, and is regarded as a farming treasure by the local people. After all, the climate here in Guangzhou is almost the same as the climate south of Guangzhou.
Very different.
With its own farming solar term, the farming in Guangzhou has a foundation for meticulous farming.
For students from Guangzhou’s agricultural institutions, the most unbearable thing here is neither the mosquitoes the size of a thumb, nor the cockroaches that can fly as big as fists, nor the climate that makes people feel wet and hot, but homesickness.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, every teacher or student will feel unparalleled homesickness.
All students who come to Guangzhou must stay for three years.
You can go home in three years, of course, if you are willing to stay, you will naturally receive great preferential treatment.
If others don’t say it, just look at Wang Zhifang, a young man who is less than thirty years old, became the dean of the Agricultural University because he chose to stay in Guangzhou.
Basically, three years will become a hurdle. The number of students coming here has gradually increased to 1,000 each year, but whenever they have to go back, 990 of them will choose to go home. It is really too much to choose to stay in Guangzhou.
Less than that.
After all, no matter how well I develop in Guangzhou, I still have to go home.
After they came out of the Agricultural College, no matter which system they went to under Li Tai, they were rushing to seek talents after returning home.
Feng Zhidai and Wang Zhifang finished their refreshments, and Feng Zhidai said goodbye and returned to Feng's mansion.
At this time, Feng Zhidai went to the study as soon as possible to see Feng Ang, who had sparse white hair.
"Are you back?" Feng Ang's tone disappeared from his tone, but he was still calm and contentment.
"Have you met my father!" Feng Zhidai looked at Feng Ang and stood up obediently, waiting for Feng Ang's lecture.
"How are you getting along with Wang Zhifang?" Feng Ang asked Feng Zhidai casually.
Feng Zhidai knew very well that his father attached great importance to the agricultural institution.
It was originally the sixth son of the Feng family, so it was impossible for him to do the job of cutting rice.
It was Feng Ang who asked him to make friends with Wang Zhifang, so when he worked in the agricultural institution, he would occasionally help him.
"It's still the same, the agricultural institutions are full of homesickness!" Feng Zhidai replied to Feng Ang.
"Next year, I'm afraid that a large number of people will return to the north! I've been used to this kind of thing, and I've come and go every year!"
Feng Ang was silent for a while when he heard Feng Zhidai's words, but asserted:
"The King of Wei has a far-reaching plan. It is probably not easy to pass on my position as King of Lingnan!"
"Father?!" Feng Zhidai was a little confused when he heard Feng Ang's words.
To be honest, the Feng family is in Lingnan Road, which is far away. As long as the Feng family does not take the initiative to hand over power, can the Tang Dynasty still come to beat the Feng family?
Feng Zhidai didn't understand a little, and even Feng Zhidai felt that his life had been getting better and better over the years.
Before Feng Ang went to Chang'an, although his family was a land king in Lingnan Road, he was just thinking about the emperor's consumption at the level of gold hoe.
However, with the surrender of the Tang Dynasty, the trade and circulation of both sides, especially after the arrival of the Agricultural University, it was obvious that the entire Guangzhou had entered a rapid development.
But Feng Zhidai did not expect that his father would feel so emotional just when his Feng family was at its peak!
Feng Ang looked at Feng Zhidai's confusion and a little unwilling to accept it, and said calmly:
"Since the rebellion of the Southern Barbarians, although it is somewhat of a push to avoid being detained by the saints.
But I also had two unexpected thoughts. One was that the soldiers of the court came so quickly. Cheng Zhijie's journey from chaos to governance was only a year before, and the entire Lingnan Road calmed down.
As for the other one I didn’t expect was King Wei!”
"King of Wei?" Feng Zhidai said with a little incomprehension when he heard Feng Ang's words.
"The King of Wei was still a child at the beginning. What shocking behavior did this person do? How could he be astonished to you in Aye!"
"The child..." Feng Ang said with a wry smile, "This so-called child is so calmly deployed in Guangzhou.
In a quiet voice, the configuration of this agricultural institution, agricultural society and medical school won the hearts of the people in Guangzhou!
In the future, the imperial court will send people from an agricultural school faction here, and there is no secret to him that the land of Guangzhou is afraid of it!"
Feng Zhidai heard this and couldn't help but stand up and said, "If so, father, you actually want me to approach the Agricultural University. You should eradicate the Agricultural University from Lingnan Road as soon as possible!"
"Stupid!" Feng Ang couldn't help but patted Feng Zhidai's head and said, "Besides fighting, killing, killing, what else do you know?
Even if I don’t look at the other King of Wei, I was only ten years old and made a calm plan and made a breakthrough in Guangzhou without any bloodshed.
At the beginning, he saw the opportunity to cause trouble in the Nanman people, and put the Agricultural Academy in. Then he promised me to benefit. Whether it was sugar sugar or tea produced by sugarcane, the King of Wei involved me step by step.
If we turn against each other and cannot stop the Tang Dynasty, the foundation of our Feng Mansion will probably be cut off.
In addition to selling it to the north, who else can we sell these to? How many people are planning to cut off their livelihoods!
At the same time, as long as I want to increase these two industries, I must tolerate the expansion of the agricultural university in Guangzhou.
This is not only because this is the representative of King Wei in Guangzhou, but also the farming technology of the agricultural institution is the key to these two industries.
The Agricultural University is so tied up with our Feng Mansion."
"Has the King of Wei planned to this extent since so many years?!" Feng Zhidai was a little unbelievable.
"I can't compare with me, but I'm worse than my son!" Feng Ang looked at Feng Zhidai and said helplessly:
"Even if you and your brothers add up, as long as you have half of the King of Wei's plan and can make people willingly drill the trap, the King of Lingnan might be able to pass on another generation.
But don’t think about it now. Establish a good relationship with the agricultural institution. If the prince ascends the throne in the future, he may be able to get the agricultural institution.
But if King Wei ascends the throne, he will keep the two wealth paths honestly and be a local rich man!”
"Aye, are you too proud of the King of Wei? Guangzhou and Tang dynasties are more than a thousand miles apart. As long as we do not rebel and only act in a realistic manner, the court will not be able to send heavy troops to encircle us.
Even if the King of Wei is far-sighted, can he still come and beat us from thousands of miles away?" Feng Zhidai was a little confused!
At this moment, a servant came to the door and shouted loudly.
"Duke, Duke! A big and large ship, and a navy fleet, I wonder if I want to attack Guangzhou!"
"What!" Feng Ang's face changed. Although he was old, he was not afraid. He said, "Take me to see!"
