Chapter 823 The Great Harvest

"Let me say it one last time. This matter is very important to our Wu De Division. This is the first task His Majesty has given us since the establishment of our Wu De Division. Therefore, we must handle this matter. good.

In order to complete this task perfectly, I will lead the team this time, so please stop trying to persuade me! "

Zhang Dong has made up his mind and said with a firm face.

Zhang Dong used to be the head of the Guards, and he had the spirit of knowing that there were tigers in the mountains, and he was inclined to go to the mountains. Although it was a very dangerous thing to go deep into the enemy's rear, Zhang Dong didn't back down.

Seeing that Zhang Dong had made up his mind, He Jinlang couldn't persuade him anymore, so he shook his head and agreed with Zhang Dong.

"Okay, you all go down first, and leave at dawn tomorrow morning!" Zhang Dong shouted at the people in front of him.

"As ordered!"

These people saluted Zhang Dong, and then retreated.

The sky is gradually darkening, and it is already autumn. If the time is pushed forward by more than ten years, Xuan Town at this time has become a desolate place.

However, the current Xuan Town has changed, becoming the first city that never sleeps in this era.

Although it is autumn, the night market on the street is still in full swing. These vendors want to take advantage of the few days before the cold weather to earn more money.

Zhao Wen was walking on the streets of Xuanzhen, and the street lights beside the road stretched Zhao Wen's shadow for a long time.

Zhao Mingyu followed behind Zhao Wen, never leaving.

"Yu'er, what do you think of Xuanzhen now?" Zhao Wen stopped, stood on the sidewalk beside the street, and looked at Zhao Mingyu who was following him.

Zhao Mingyu didn't even think about it, and said, "Father, I feel that the world is peaceful now. According to what my teacher said, the world now can be called a prosperous age!"

"Ugh!"

Zhao Wen let out a long sigh.

Zhao Mingyu didn't know why Zhao Wen sighed, so he asked, "Father, why are you sighing? Can't it be called a prosperous age now?"

Zhao Wen shook his head, and said earnestly: "A prosperous age? Where did the prosperous age come from? From ancient times to the present, the prosperous ages are all those scholars who preach in front of the emperor to be obedient. How can a prosperous age be so easy to achieve?

Although Xuan Town is extremely prosperous now, those remote areas are still poor.There are people in the world who are hungry, but if there is one person who is still hungry, it is not considered a prosperous age. "

Zhao Wen expressed emotion that in ancient times, the positioning of the prosperous age was too low. As long as there was no major famine and the people could not starve to death, it could be called a prosperous age.

For various interests, those officials kept advocating prosperity in front of the emperor.

"A while ago, the governor of Fujian made a report, saying that since the beginning of autumn, the sea breeze has been raging, and countless people have been affected by the disaster in the coastal areas.

Generally speaking, there are more sea breezes in summer, and it is already autumn. With such abnormal weather, there will definitely be disasters in the coming year.

I have prepared the coastal areas of Fujian for disasters, and the food and medicinal materials in the southeast have begun to be transferred to Fujian.

When disasters happen, the people who suffer the most are the common people.

Half a year ago, Uncle Liu and Uncle Wu of yours pacified Yunnan and Guizhou. Now the materials for construction have just arrived there, and officials at all levels have also arrived there.

But, there has been poverty for hundreds of years, and there is no way to turn it around just by relying on these few days.There are not a few people who can't afford to wear trousers there. If the people in the world can't have enough food and clothing, then it can't be called a prosperous age. "

Zhao Mingyu listened to Zhao Wen's teaching quietly. Although he didn't understand clearly, he firmly remembered Zhao Wen's words in his heart.

Zhao Wen looked at the busy people on the street, and said: "You must remember in the future, just listen to the prosperous age and the like, and don't take it seriously.

Remember, even if there is still a commoner in the world who can't eat enough and wear warm clothes, it can't be called a prosperous age. "

"Father, have you ever seen a real prosperous age?" Zhao Mingyu asked.

Zhao Wen turned his head, stroked Zhao Mingyu's head, and said with a smile, "Of course my father has seen the real prosperity!"

"What kind of prosperity did dad see?" Zhao Mingyu raised his head and asked with stars in his eyes.

"The prosperous age I have seen is the real prosperous age.

In the prosperous age, almost all the common people could eat enough, there was so much rice that they couldn’t finish it, and even the food fed to the pigs was better than what many common people eat now.”

Zhao Wen recalled the life of later generations, and spoke slowly in Zhao Mingyu's ear.

"Father, at that time, can we really go to heaven?"

"Not only can you go to the sky, but you can also go to the moon!"

Zhao Wen walked forward slowly with Zhao Mingyu, Zhao Wen took the trouble to explain to Zhao Mingyu in detail.

The two of you said one sentence to another, and walked slowly forward, the shadows of the two were stretched long and long by the streetlights.

Chen Donglai and Zhao Wen's guards followed Zhao Wen, selectively deaf, and automatically ignored the voices of the father and son.

The sky was completely dark, Zhao Wen took Zhao Mingyu around the streets, and ate some night markets by the way.

They didn't go back until midnight when Li Xiaoying was a little worried and sent someone to call.

Early the next morning, Zhang Dong came to the imperial study and presented the plan he had made last night.

After Zhao Wen saw it, he thought it was okay, so he asked Zhang Dong to follow the plan.

"By the way, Zhang Dong, the situation on the prairie is different from that in the interior. After you arrive in Horqin, stay in Horqin for a few days to clarify the taboos and other things on the prairie, and then go to Lin Danhan's place.

Lin Danhan doesn't even count as ringworm, so after going there, the first thing to do is to protect you so that you don't suffer any losses.

Ask about all aspects clearly, and save yourself from showing your feet to Lin Danhan! Zhao Wen looked at Zhang Dong standing in front of him, and said earnestly.

As the saying goes, women look good for those who please them, and men die for those who know them well.

Although Zhao Wen said these words lightly, but in Zhang Dong's ears, he was very down-to-earth.

"I must remember His Majesty's teachings, and I must complete the tasks entrusted to me by Your Majesty!" Zhang Dong saluted Zhao Wen respectfully, and then retreated.

After Zhang Dong withdrew, he took his chosen subordinates and headed towards Xuanzhen Railway Station.

Today's Lin Danhan is located in the north of Horqin, so people like Zhang Dong will take the train to Horqin first.

Not long after, Zhang Dong got on the train and headed north.

At the same time, far in the west, a merchant ship was heading east under the escort of two sailing battleships.

Thomas was wearing the most popular leggings in the West in this era, standing at the bow of the boat, holding a translated copy of "Heavenly Craftsmanship" in his hand, watching quietly.

After a long time, Thomas put down the "Heavenly Created Things" in his hand, his eyes were full of hope.

In the cabin of the merchant ship, a middle-aged man squatted in the cabin, and he also held a copy of "Heavenly Craftsmanship" in his hand. On the ground in front of him, there was a carbon rod.

The middle-aged man looked at the "Heavenly Creation" very seriously, and the ground in front of him was filled with various calculation formulas.

"Tiangong Kaiwu" not only introduces advanced equipment such as trains, but also some formulas, knowledge points and explanations obtained from college textbooks.

These knowledge points are many years ahead of this era.

This middle-aged man is now very seriously looking at the formulas and explanations on "Tiangong Kaiwu".

"It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable. Why didn't I think of this before? Why didn't I think of this before?

This Eastern Empire is so unbelievable, I really can't figure it out, there is such a perfect formula in this world, there is such a perfect solution, it is so perfect, it is so perfect!

Even the arithmetic symbols are so beautiful, so beautiful, I want to meet the people who invented them right now! "

The middle-aged man watched "Heavenly Craftsmanship" and couldn't stop marveling.

This middle-aged man is none other than the famous Descartes in history.

Descartes is a very famous philosopher, mathematician and scientist in history, born in France.

His greatest achievement was the invention of the coordinate system in 1637, the combination of geometry and algebra, and the creation of analytic geometry.

It is now 1642. During these few years, Descartes has written many works and has made many achievements in the field of mathematics.

It is said that the famous cardioid function was created by Descartes.

The advertisement for the mineral water of the mountain in later generations was based on Descartes.

However, Descartes' achievement is still much worse than that of Zhao Wen from later generations.

If Descartes hadn't read "Heavenly Creation", Descartes might have continued to devote himself to studying knowledge, but when he saw "Heavenly Creation", he could no longer control his inner restlessness.

The content of "Tiangong Kaiwu" is very tempting. After getting "Tiangong Kaiwu", Descartes began to study it with great concentration.

However, there are many contents in "Heavenly Creation", which Descartes has never heard of. Descartes wanted to study it, but he had no idea for a while. In desperation, Descartes planned to wander around.

Descartes is French, and France is not far from the shit-stirring stick. Finally, Descartes came to the shit-stirring stick.

By chance, Descartes heard that Charles I was going to send someone to the East, so Descartes tried his best to sneak into Thomas' clothes and headed east.

For people like Descartes who are dedicated to academics, solving academic problems is the most important thing in the world.

At the same time, in a Woolsthorpe manor called Woolsthorpe Village under the shitstick, a woman named Hannah Escue was working on the manor.

What she didn't know was that she was already pregnant. What she didn't know was that if there were no accidents, the child in her stomach would be born on January [-] next year. If there were no accidents, she would give her The child was named Isaac Newton.

If there is no Zhao Wen in this era, then Newton will be as brilliant as in history.

It is a pity that Zhao Wen published all the things Newton summed up in advance. Newton in this era will always live in the shadow of Zhao Wen.

Of course, Zhao Wen is unaware of all this in the West.

Autumn is the harvest season. Usually at this time, the farmland around Xuan Town is full of hard-working people.

However, since Zhao Wen made all kinds of agricultural machinery, the busy people in the farmland have turned into a large number of agricultural machinery.

The price of agricultural machinery is very high, and ordinary people cannot afford it.

Therefore, Zhao Wen asked people to set up an organization dedicated to harvesting crops for the common people. When harvesting crops for the common people, they would only charge a certain fee.

These costs are nothing to the common people.

Zhao Wen was sitting in the imperial study room, and the Minister of Agriculture stood in front of Zhao Wen, talking non-stop to Zhao Wen.

In Zhao Wen's hands, there is a memorial just sent by the Minister of Agriculture.

This memorial is the Ministry of Agriculture's announcement of the grain output of various parts of the town and the important agricultural land that has resumed production this year.

"Your Majesty, the farmland around Xuan Town has a total of
The grain production in Xuanzhen and other places will increase a lot compared to last year. At present, the main grain production areas have stabilized, and the grain production in Henan, Shaanxi and other places will also increase a lot compared to last year."

The minister of the Ministry of Agriculture kept talking in front of Zhao Wen. In a word, as long as it is a place where grain is produced, the grain is basically harvested, and there is no need to worry about the problem of grain failure.

"This year's autumn harvest is a very bumper harvest. The food produced around Xuanzhen can completely supply Xuanzhen..." Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture kept talking.

The memorial in Zhao Wen's hand contained more detailed data, and Zhao Wen looked at it seriously.

There are many college graduates in the Ministry of Agriculture.

These students are not bad at skills. After being trained by the university, combined with the agricultural characteristics of this era and the agricultural divisions in all states and counties, these students can easily count the grain output of this autumn harvest.

"Yes, yes, your Ministry of Agriculture has contributed a lot this year!" Zhao Wen put down the memorial in his hand and looked at the Minister of Agriculture with a smile on his face.

No matter when, there is food in hand, and there is no panic in the heart.

It is a very important thing for Zhao Wen to have a good harvest of grain, and it is also a very happy event.

"I don't dare to take credit for it, it's all due to His Majesty. If it wasn't for the equipment and farming methods that His Majesty created, how could there be a good harvest of grain?"

The Minister of Agriculture said with a humble face.

"Although I have a lot of credit for this, your Ministry of Agriculture also has a lot of credit.

By the way, what happened to the joint research institute of the Ministry of Agriculture to study cold-resistant grains? "

Zhao Wen suddenly remembered this matter and asked.

This matter was arranged by Zhao Wen more than a year ago.

Now, Zhao Wen has occupied Nuer Gandusi.

However, the food eaten there was mainly transported from the interior, and the food grown there was almost negligible.

Under the influence of the Little Ice Age, Nuergandusi in this era was extremely cold, so Nuergandusi had almost no way to cultivate.

Even if it can be cultivated, the time for cultivation is very limited.

If you want to completely occupy Nuergandusi, you must let the people live in Nuergandusi, and if you want the people to live in Nuergandusi, you must be able to cultivate food.

Therefore, it is very important for Nuer Gandusi to be able to cultivate food.

However, because of the cold weather and the short summer, Nuer Gandusi is really not suitable for growing food. Zhao Wen wanted to get the Ministry of Agriculture and the Research Institute to work together to see if they could breed cold-resistant grains.

Zhao Wen didn't dare to expect to be able to fully adapt to Nuergandusi, he only needed to be able to farm in Nuergandusi.Even if it only lasts for one season, it is very good.

Of course, the breeding method is still based on hybridization, which is the only method Zhao Wen can use now.

"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be completed within a year or so. The difficulty of this matter is really too great. Moreover, the research institute and the Ministry of Agriculture do not belong to the same yamen, so there are a lot of troubles in it! "Shang Shu of the Ministry of Agriculture said with a face of embarrassment.

There is no problem with what the Minister of Agriculture said. After all, they are two different yamen, and they are not smooth when handling things.

Listening to the voice of the Minister of Agriculture, Zhao Wen also very much agreed with what the Minister of Agriculture said.

"How about this, what do you think of transferring the institution responsible for this matter from the research institute to the Ministry of Agriculture and put it under the management of your Ministry of Agriculture?" Zhao Wen said his own way.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!" The Minister of Agriculture's face was full of excitement.

He didn't expect that Zhao Wen would put it directly under the Ministry of Agriculture.

If it is placed under the Ministry of Agriculture, it will be much more convenient to do things, and there will not be so many constraints.

"If that's the case, then this matter is settled like this.

This is easier said than done.How about this, after you go down, discuss with Song Yingxing and work out a detailed plan! "Zhao Wen looked at the Minister of Agriculture and said.

"The minister obeys the order!"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture happily saluted Zhao Wen, and then exited the imperial study.

Looking at the back of Shangshu of the Ministry of Agriculture, Zhao Wen let out a sigh of relief.

"Whether food can be grown in Nuergandusi is a matter related to the stability of Nuergandusi.

If you can't grow food for a day, you won't be able to settle down completely! " Zhao Wen murmured.

In fact, what Zhao Wen said was not wrong.

Throughout history, from ancient times to the present, almost all places suitable for growing food can be ruled by the Central Plains dynasty, but if it is a place that cannot grow food, even if it is ruled, it will still be lost in the future.

Therefore, whether Nuer Gandusi can grow food is of great significance.

Zhao Wen put the memorial in his hand on the table, then picked up the brush, and circled the important content on the memorial.

Zhao Wen intends to publicize the circled content through newspapers. After all, a good grain harvest is a great joy.
