His Majesty Li Er returned to Taiji Palace and led a team of "Hundred Riders" to Jiucheng Palace that night. He now felt that time was not waiting for us, and no time could be wasted. If he could not witness with his own eyes the huge empire he had created, it would enter the world of unity.
, what a regret must that be?
All the concubines didn't know why. In two days' time, the Lotus Garden would be open to the public for lotus viewing. Didn't they agree to entertain all the officials at the Ziyun Tower in the Lotus Garden and enjoy it with the people?
In just two days, I have to go to Jiucheng Palace to escape the heat, which is not enough to go back and forth...
However, since the funeral of Queen Wende, no one in the harem can give advice to His Majesty Li Er. Even Concubine Yang, who has always been doted on, does not want to interfere too much in His Majesty Li Er's decision, so everyone can only watch helplessly.
His Majesty Li Er took no one with him and left the palace alone.
When Fang Xuanling returned to the house, he locked himself in the study for a whole afternoon. It was not until before the curfew that he sent someone to call back Fang Jun, who was planning to stay in the study.
After entering the study, Fang Jun sat on the chair next to his father, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, drained it in one gulp, and then exhaled and asked, "What's the point of summoning my son in such a hurry?"
Something happened?"
Fang Xuanling stared at his son in shock for a long time, until he looked at Fang Jun and felt his heart tremble, and then slowly asked: "Earlier, you said that the output of corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes is compared to that of the Tang Dynasty.
The crops are much taller, but is that a joke?"
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment and said: "This is natural. The reason why the navy soldiers brought these crops back from the New World is because their son had previously ordered them to pay attention to those high-yielding crops. If my father doesn't believe it, there is not much time until the autumn harvest.
It’s been a long time, and you’ll know when the time comes.”
"Grain" was not a kind of crop in ancient times, but the general term for all kinds of grains. "Millet", commonly known as "millet" in later generations, was called "ji" in ancient times. It was the most important grain of the Chinese civilization that originated from the Yellow River Basin since ancient times. People
Ji represents the god of grains, and together with the other most important god "She Shen", they are collectively called She Ji. Later, the word She Ji was used to represent the country. As a synonym for the country, it shows how important millet is.
In ancient times, the most important foods were grains, millet, millet, wheat, bean sprouts, and hemp. Later, with the gradual development of productivity, rice from the south was cultivated in the north and became one of the most important foods for people, which became the six grains.
Millet is millet, also called yellow rice. Millet is regarded as a more delicious food. Wheat is divided into barley and wheat. Bean is called bean. It was called bean in ancient times. After the Han Dynasty, it was called bean. Ma refers to bean.
Pockmarked seeds were also used as food by ancient people.
None of these types of grains are high-yielding, and they have high requirements for soil fertility and moisture. Therefore, once a natural disaster occurs, it can easily lead to grain harvest failure and widespread famine.
In comparison, corn is more cold-tolerant, especially sweet potatoes and potatoes, which have very strong adaptability and can be used as a good supplement to food types.
Of course, Fang Jun doesn't dare to say the exact amount of production now, otherwise he will be regarded as a madman...
But as long as we wait until the autumn harvest, people all over the world will be shocked!
only……
"Father, you called your son back in a hurry just to ask this?"
Fang Jun was a little puzzled.
Seeing that the academy was about to start school, he was so busy that he slept in the middle of the night and woke up in the fifth. He even planned to stay in the academy tonight, but his father called him back and asked him this?
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard, with a tangled look on his face, and pondered for a long time before saying: "Son, tell me, if in the future no one will die of hunger in the world because of these crops, your achievements will shake the sky and the earth from time to time.
, Unparalleled in ancient times and today?”
Fang Jun was confused, but he was also shocked by Fang Xuanling's statement, and said quickly: "Father is ridiculous! How easy is it to prevent people from starving to death in the world? The water and soil are different in different places, the customs are different, and the climate is different. Even if
Even if there are crops with high yields, there may not be inexhaustible food. Moreover, the implementation of policies and the integrity of government are crucial to people's livelihood. How can it be achieved with just a few crops?"
No more people will starve to death in the world?
No matter how conceited and proud Fang Jun was, he would not dare to put such an unparalleled achievement on his head.
Only Mr. Yuan is worthy of this feat...
What's more, the Tang Dynasty was extremely backward compared to later generations in terms of transportation, information transmission, medical and health care, etc. A few high-yielding crops were like eliminating hunger, which was simply a fantasy.
When Fang Xuanling heard this answer, instead of being depressed at all, she perked up and asked, "Is this really true?"
Fang Jun frowned and said in confusion: "What are you worried about, father? You might as well talk about it and let your son know the details."
Fang Xuanling was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "My father is afraid that your great achievements will shock the Lord, and I will not be able to seal you!"
Fang Jun thought carefully and understood his father's worries. He immediately laughed and said: "It turns out that my father is worried about this. There is no need. There are many people who have made great achievements throughout the ages, and I have not seen them all.
The most important thing for a good ending is to hide one's clumsiness and self-destruction. For example, the son has just accomplished a great feat and feels that His Majesty may be in trouble for the reward. As a minister, can he embarrass His Majesty? So the son immediately commits a crime
It's a big mistake. If the merits and demerits are equal, if there is no reward or punishment, Your Majesty will be relaxed!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Fang Xuanling was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared. He was most afraid that if this kid had a bad temper and ignored him, he might make a big mistake one day: "Speak with substance and act with moderation. We should be upright and honorable."
Jiyue, how can I act arbitrarily and act arrogantly?"
Fang Jun frowned and said, "Father taught you that! From now on, my son will only do things seriously and will never make mistakes. He will definitely handle the matters assigned by His Majesty properly."
Fang Xuanling nodded at first, but then felt something was wrong.
If this kid is really safe and does not make mistakes, then what kind of official title should he be awarded for all his achievements?
You really have to make mistakes from time to time and balance your merits and demerits, so that Your Majesty will not be in trouble or become invincible.
But I just taught him not to make mistakes...
Fang Xuanling's old face was tense, and he couldn't hold it in anymore, so he simply changed the topic: "The compilation of "Dictionary" has reached the final stage. Do you have any concerns about its publication?"
He had been the prime minister for more than ten years, and he was very confident and well-organized about the empire's finances, but he lacked patience when it came to his own economic matters and simply didn't bother to care about them. A few years ago, Fang Jun had not traveled through time, and Fang Yizhi's wife Du Shi returned home.
It is evident that gifts for relatives require a lot of thought.
In the past two years, with Fang Jun as the "God of Wealth", the Fang family's property has expanded rapidly. Fang Xuanling doesn't care about money at all. As long as he doesn't worry about it and allows him to do knowledge easily...
…
Editing the book was his own business, but publishing it had to be left to his son, so he didn't bother to take care of it.
My son can do this very well.
As expected, Fang Jun heard this and said happily: "Father, don't worry, my son has still discussed this matter with His Highness the King of Wei. At that time, the son will be responsible for printing and delivering the "Dictionary" to the 'Zhenxing Association' at the cost price, and His Highness the King of Wei will subsidize it."
With the transportation of carriages and horses, the "Dictionary" will be distributed in every state and county in the world to achieve the purpose of educating all people. Within half a year, or at most a year, the "Dictionary" will be in every city and every school in the Tang Dynasty."
He has printing technology, sufficient financial support, and a royal office like the "Zhenxing Society", which is equivalent to controlling the largest distribution channel in the world. He can publish a "Dictionary" that is destined to become a classic and be passed down forever.
What's the difficulty?
Fang Xuanling nodded happily, picked up the teacup, and said, "Okay, my father's side is fine, you can do what you want."
Fang Jun thought to himself, what on earth is going on with you? He called us back with great fanfare, only to chase us away after just a few words...
He had no choice but to gain strength and retire.
Since I have returned home, fortunately I will sleep at home tonight. It will not be too late to deal with the chores in the academy tomorrow. But as soon as I stepped into the back house, I saw a maid next to my mother standing in Xiao Shuer's small courtyard.
Outside the door, he stood on tiptoes and looked this way.
When he saw Fang Jun, Na must be immediately overjoyed. He hurriedly stepped forward, gathered his clothes and saluted, and said, "I heard that Erlang returned to the house. My mistress ordered my maid to wait for Erlang here. When I see you, please come in to discuss anything."
Fang Jun glanced at the small courtyard and asked, "What's the matter with mother?"
The maid lowered her head and replied, "I don't know."
Nodding, Fang Jun entered the courtyard, and Xiao Shuer's maid came to greet him...
