Chapter 520 In the words of Zhuangyuan Gong, no, Dongxiang of science and technology, entry of technology into the household (third update)
As a teacher, I don’t want to be disgraced and disgraced across the vast ocean. I don’t want to be disgraced and disgraced to everyone in the world and all countries.
If there is a chance, it would be best to teach the Japanese country a severe lesson.
I beg you to let that bastard Japanese country become famous and provoke the officials of the Song Dynasty.
After writing the letter, the official Zhao Ji stamped it with his personal seal.
Then he brought the longevity seal that Gao Zhang had carved for him and covered it with the letter paper, and then he smiled with satisfaction.
Because he believed that Xiao Gao would definitely be able to understand what he meant, and he would definitely be able to save face for his master and would not let him down.
The messenger respectfully took the wooden box embellished with imperial edicts and official letters from the palace eunuch's legs, and quickly came to his horse. He had just turned over on the horse and was about to gallop out.
Then I heard shouting from afar, Dong Zhiyi nodded, and saw a fast horse approaching.
"Wait a minute, there are quite a few letters there, please brother, I'll bring them to Duke Zhuang Yuan as well."
"Whose letter?" the messenger asked in surprise.
He saw the man coming towards him, and after he came close to him, he quietly handed over a wooden box, and also handed over a heavy yellow and red thing.
"One letter from Cai Xiang, one letter from Tong Kuan, one letter from Gao Taiwei..."
After hearing the three words, the messenger's eyelids jumped wildly, and he quickly wrapped the wooden box in oil paper.
Then he stuffed it into the rainproof cowhide bag, and then he officially started galloping away...
Darling, it seems that the leader of the Japanese country is really a great person, and he actually pissed off so many powerful people in the Song Dynasty.
The messenger was thinking wildly as he hit his horse and galloped away into the distance.

Gao Zhang was standing next to the fields at this moment, looking at the farmers who started working in the fields almost a month earlier than in previous years.
As Gao Zhang's handsome young man in purple robe approached, many people who were working in the fields stopped what they were doing and saluted respectfully towards the legendary young man.
At that time, Gao Zhang would be there kindly, help the farmers up, and ask with concern if they had any problems in planting the rice in Champa.
Facing the amiable and handsome young man, the senior official, all the peasants had honest smiles on their faces.
Fang Baihua, wearing a weft hat and holding a knife, stood not far away, watching Gao Zhang and the farmers chatting happily beside the field.
At least as long as Fang Baihua has grown up, I have never seen an official who is so popular.
And he is so young and has such a bright future.
"Is it true that our young master will be recognized by the people everywhere he goes? I remember that when I went to Changshu County a few months ago, my young master couldn't even ride a horse, and the local people blocked the road..."
"Whoever makes our son diligent in government and ruthless to the people can make the people of Suzhou willing to plant those two crops of rice."
“Since last year, every time I visited a village, I would stay for two days and talk to the old farmers in person.
He talked about the benefits of the double crop of rice and specially invited gentry from all over the country, many of whom were village elders and highly respected people.
Go to those villages in Mingzhou where double-cropping rice is grown to investigate. No, the young master said that is called investigation.
Farm officials were invited from Mingzhou and other places to preach everywhere... Otherwise, how could there be such a grand event as the bright moon?"
A group of high-ranking family members and the Suzhou officials were whispering to each other.
Could it be that Duke Zhuang Yuan has already told me that no one is allowed to come near and disturb his communication with the people?
At this moment, he was surrounded by Fu An, Lu Qian and several other soldiers who were agile and brave.
Those Suzhou officials were all transferred from various places after Gao Zhang put down the Zhu family rebellion in Jiangnan.
To be honest, it was the first time for those officials to see Zhizhou doing such things.
In the past, as the chief official of a state, he mostly stayed outside the city, eating and drinking as he should. Even if he was not an upright and good official, he could at most only achieve some results.
Last year, I heard that the child prodigy champion was asking to promote the planting of double-cropping rice in Suzhou.
Naturally, everyone raised their legs to show their support, but that was all. After all, Mingzhou has been growing double-cropping rice for nearly 20 or 30 years.
By the Ming Dynasty, there were only two counties, and nearly one-third of the fields were cultivated.
What’s more, my Suzhou has never grown double-cropping rice?
Naturally, everyone was thinking about whether to proceed step by step, get some double-cropping rice seeds from Naming Prefecture, and then find a few farmers to plant them. That would be fine.
No one expected that the child prodigy, Number One Scholar, would do so many tricks, and that he would invite agricultural officers to give lectures, or visit the villages in person.
We invited prominent people from various counties in Suzhou to go to Mingzhou for investigation.
The key point is that the prodigy champion personally wrote many nursery rhymes and slogans, and ordered the guards to post them in the villages. In the words of the champion, technology is in Dongxiang, and technology is in every household.
However, the prestige of the child prodigy number one scholar in Suzhou was so high that no matter whether he was a wealthy gentry or a millionaire or an old farmer from the countryside, everyone believed in him.
In the Suzhou area, anyone who dares to say a bad word about the No. 1 Scholar will be despised and reviled without being stabbed in the spine.
As a result, after next spring, almost all the villages have already started to get busy. I am afraid that whether Suzhou will promote double-cropping rice next year, I dare not say all, but it must be 70% to 80%.
I wonder if Suzhou has been a land of fish and rice since ancient times. The land wealth is astonishing. If someone planted 70% to 80% of double-cropping rice, by the end of the year, it would definitely shock the whole world.
And Gao Zhang relied on the prestige of quelling the Zhu family's rebellion to recheck the fields in Suzhou. Previously, he had 57,000 hectares. I wonder, that number is really pitifully small.
Suzhou in the Ming Dynasty does not only refer to Suzhou, but also includes Kunshan, Jiading and Changshu.
But Fu Yuanji has grown a lot compared to the time of Song Renzong. What's more, the ten farms owned by Fu Zhu and his son alone cover an area of 320,000 acres.
After the Zhu family's rebellion was put down, nearly half a million acres of land was recovered from the hands of many rebel powerful men.
In Mingzhou, double-cropping rice can yield between two and three stones per mu per crop, totaling between five and six stones.
As usual in Suzhou, Gao Zhang believed that after the 57,000 hectares of cultivated land were planted with double-cropping rice, the harvest would reach an outrageously exaggerated amount.
Gao Zhang remembered that he had read a piece of information. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the grain of Suzhou Prefecture accounted for one-tenth of the Ming Dynasty's grain income.
It is enough to see that Jiangnan is known as the land of fish and rice. Naturally, it is not bragging, but it is done.
While Gao Zhang and the old farmers were chatting happily by the field, they heard the sound of galloping hooves coming from far away.
Gao Zhang raised his head and saw a personal entourage who had stayed behind in the government office galloping towards him on horseback.
