Chapter 374: Master's Order
When a place becomes prosperous, it will naturally drive the vigorous development of other industries!
However, Wang Jinyuan proposed to open an indescribable place. As for the indescribable women who open the door to welcome guests, there is no need to worry. Now everyone knows that there are many wealthy people in the West Mountain. As long as you are willing to give up money, don’t be afraid that there will be no indescribable women?
Unfortunately, Fang Jifan was a moral person. Although such indescribable things were common in this era! However, a bottom line deep in Fang Jifan's heart was not allowed to do it. He would rather earn clean silver!
This... is Fang Jifan, a person who has deviated from low-level interests and serves the country and the people, never thinks of evil ways, and has noble qualities like green pine and white snow.
The West Mountain became lively, and scholars and nobles came one after another, and the money on the books also increased dramatically with Japan.
Zhang Xin returned from outside the pass, and began to try to plant fruits and vegetables in the west mountains, such as grapes, in the south or Hexi. In addition, he also learned to graft and learn to breed better.
He explored many things step by step, and after gradually mastering the laws of various plants, he gradually began to understand many laws of crop growth, what fertilizer to use, how much temperature and how much light to shine!
All of these were recorded in his book. The dense books were sorted out by Hanlin officials, and they were afraid that their scalp would become numb.
He is now becoming more and more interested in grafting because he found that if grafting with different varieties of crops is successful, it can often improve the crop's drought resistance and cold resistance. If grafting is good, a better variety may be produced.
This is of great significance to increasing grain production.
In fact, as early as the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were records about grafting in "Qimin Yaoshu", but it was just a record. Readers sneer at the research of crops. There are occasionally a few reliable agricultural books, and their research is just a matter of pointing to the point and will not go deeper.
But ordinary farmers, even if they make a living by farming, deal with crops every day, but they rely on only experience that is visible to the naked eye. Even if they find anything, they will find it difficult to inspire or have any in-depth thinking. It is even more impossible to mobilize a large amount of manpower and material resources, continue to study in depth, and record it in the book.
Zhang Xin and the lieutenants and strong men of the military farm are different. They are all good families who have studied books. Now they are paying salaries to specialize in crops and animal husbandry. They need people and money! For research needs, they can set up sheds to collect different soils from all over the world, set up flue ducts, adjust the soil temperature, and patiently cultivate various crops, but they don’t have to worry that the things they grow cannot be eaten at all, which will make them hungry.
Not only that, among the thousands of households in this military farm, a group of people have begun to stand out. They have become Zhang Xin's right-hand man. Some specialize in researching feed, some specialize in dealing with various feces, fertilizers, and some research on soil quality.
Over time, the entire military farmhouse has actually begun to have a set of special research methods, and the agricultural books that are printed and promoted every year are also updated at any time.
But this farm book is not as good as before. Almost all the latest breeding, irrigation and various crop cultivation methods are updated in the military farming industry. The words in it must be understood by anyone.
At the beginning, no one valued this agricultural book, but gradually, some gentry tried it according to the agricultural book method, and the effect was good. The same field increased by 10%.
Don’t underestimate this mere 10% or 10% of the grain, this is pure profit.
As a result, more and more people are flocking to Xishan Agricultural Books, which has actually made Zhang Xin’s pressure more and more!
He deeply felt that every study he should be very cautious and should not make any mistakes in the contents recorded in the farm book, because it is not related to the output of his own test field, but also the livelihoods of many people.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone was busy at home. After the Chinese New Year, Xishan Academy started school again.
One hundred and fifty students come here on time.
Fang Jifan began to get busy again. Looking at the energetic students, Fang Jifan thought of himself. He was so simple at the beginning.
After so much rest, people's hearts were a little loose, so Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan took people to build dams without hesitation, and opened mountains to get stones. Then the stones were packed in bamboo bags to build dams! In addition, some land that needed irrigation was dug out to dig out digging water.
This construction of a dam requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Once it is completed, it will benefit four townships and eight miles, turning the barren land into fertile fields and preventing droughts.
Shen Ao and others were exhausted and sweating profusely. They followed the merchants and moved stones to the dam, gritted their teeth, and even their bodies were covered in blood and covered in bruises.
However, the treatment in Xishan is obviously much better than before. There are pork almost every day. Xishan also raises a few cows that produce indescribable products, which can squeeze out indescribable viscous materials every day. This indescribable water is of great benefit to students like Shen Ao. Although they are scholars, they are all copper-skinned and iron-clad and full of energy.
The more they suffered, the more Shen Ao and the students studied harder in the evening. For them, reading was the most difficult thing in the past, but now it has become the easiest thing. It is really a pleasure to read one by one, one by one, and write articles.
Occasionally, Zhu Houzhao would take them to ride horses and shoot arrows.
They are raising horses and gradually become familiar with the nature of horses. They are riding more and more skilled, as if they are walking on the ground, and they are becoming more and more stable on the horses. Now they are getting stronger and stronger, and their arms are amazing. When they sit steadily on the horses, they bend their bows and arrows, and they are accurate in their heads, but they are amazingly powerful.
…………
A river divides Liaodong and North Korea into two, and on the Liaodong side, a large number of North Korean nobles and scholars built camps!
It was cold here. Although the Liaodong Dushi sent a lot of rewards, it still caused a lot of injuries because it was too bitter and cold.
Jincheng Jun Li Yi is a half-brother of the Korean royal family and Li Long! On the day when the Jiazi scholars were in trouble, the guards of Jincheng Jun’s mansion persuaded Li Yi to escape. On the one hand, it was because the Ming Dynasty’s disgust for Li Long was very obvious. Otherwise, how could the imperial edict would have been issued to scold Li Long?
With the Ming Dynasty as your backer, His Highness Jinchengjun has a support. As long as he goes to Liaodong, the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom will definitely not return Li Yi to the North Korea.
On the other hand, although Li Yi and Li Long are brothers, they are half-mothers after all. Li Long once killed several uncles from the royal family, which shows that he is a person who is extremely cautious about his uncles and brothers. If the Jun of Jincheng did not escape as soon as possible, he would be very likely to die under Li Long's sword in the end.
Li Yi is actually a person with no opinion. He only loves reading. After persuasion, he has to follow the crowd.
But after he got here, he regretted it!
Although the Ming Dynasty gave him good treatment, the imperial envoy Liu Jie often came to comfort him, but the comfort of Seoul made him feel uncomfortable.
The only thing that comforted him was probably knowing Liu Jie.
Li Yi hopes to follow Liu Jie to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, which is the capital of the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom. For Li Yi, it is the cultural center that North Korea yearns for!
He hopes that after being protected and cared for by the Supreme Kingdom, he can settle down, stay away from right and wrong, read the Four Books, appreciate Chinese poems, cook wine, and make tea, just like the famous scholars in historical books, sing wine and sing about saints, learn the classics of saints, and live happily for the rest of his life.
But soon, a terrible news spread in the camp that Liu Qinzeng might have to take them back to North Korea!
As a result, an uneasy atmosphere began to spread in the hearts of these refugees in North Korea.
When Li Yi heard this, he became scared and couldn't wait to find Liu Jie.
The two knelt against each other, listening to the north wind outside, Li Yi said, "I heard that I will be sent back to my motherland. Is that true?"
Li Yi has become more and more proficient in speaking. Because he communicates with Liu Jie a lot, he has a Henan accent.
Liu Jie did not hide it, nodded and said, "This is what Master's letter is like."
Li Yi's face looked even more ugly, and he asked again: "Are you going to send us back to my brother Wang? Liu Shangzhe, you have to understand that if we get to my brother Wang, we will definitely be in different places."
Liu Jie shook his head and said, "Master Gong means that we will return to Seoul, kill Li Long, and restore peace to North Korea."
A look of fear suddenly appeared on Li Yi's face and said, "I think your master does not understand the situation of North Korea. Now the aspiring people are killed by my brother Wang. The remaining people are either obedient or his followers. Unless the king's army is 100,000 to conquer North Korea, we will die when we go back."
"Master knows everything." Liu Jie corrected him with a firm look on his face, "There is nothing he doesn't know in this world."
Liu Jie is a traditional person and has a natural disgust towards anyone who slanders his master.
Regarding Liu Jie's master, Li Yi's ears were already called into calluses, but he knew that this was no longer a question of understanding everything. It involved the lives of countless people!
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt. He couldn't help but start to shed tears and cried, "When we come to Liaodong, we will entrust all our lives to Shangguo. Li Long's cruelty is well known. We only hope to stay. Even if we become a commoner here, we will be willing to do so."
Liu Jie did not feel soft-hearted because of Li Yi's pitiful appearance, and said indisputably: "My master's idea has been made. We must go to Korea to kill Li Long. The Ming Dynasty will never allow the canonized king of the vassal state to commit such a heinous crime. Please rest assured that Li Long will definitely be executed."

I recommend a book "Carrying Ak in the Ming Dynasty", which means a meaning. This is a relaxed and refreshing book. Friends who are in short supply of books can take a look.
