God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 736 Agricultural Research Institute
Li Chengqian has been familiar with the books of sages and sages since he was a child, and he has even received the teachings of many great Confucians.

Love the people like children!

This concept is firmly rooted in his heart.

However, no one told him how to love the people like a son.

"Use wisely and love others, so that the people can use their time."

"The people can be made to know it, but not to be made to know it"

"Government is based on Taoism, and punishment is used in uniformity, and the people are free from shame. Virtue is based on Taoism, and propriety is used in uniformity, there is shame and integrity."

"If the straight is wrong and the wrong is wrong, the people will obey; if the wrong is wrong and the straight is wrong, the people will not obey."

……

The teachings of the saints are still in my ears.

However, the sage did not clarify how to treat the people, did not say to see how the people live, let alone how to convince the people.

Mr. Zhou hurriedly called people in, and ordered: "You two, hurry up to manage the city brigade, and say that there is a scumbag on the farm, Chen Ahsan, beat and scold the subordinates, and ask them to send someone to deal with it."

Seeing this, Li Chengqian hurriedly stopped him, "No, no, Mr. Zhou, Chen Ah-san didn't bully anyone, nor did he beat or scold anyone. I didn't say he hit anyone. I just wanted to change places. I...I want to see more , learn more about how to farm.”

Mr. Zhou was stunned: "Do you want to change places? But now, the farm is short of manpower everywhere, and every place comes to me to ask for people. How can I arrange you?"

Snapped.

Suddenly, Mr. Zhou slapped his thigh: "Li Qian, have you ever read a book?"

"It's been a few days!" Li Chengqian nodded.

Mr. Zhou suddenly smiled and said: "Hehe, that's great, I just have a major task for you to do. A few days ago, the county government asked our farm to select a group of smart people to set up an agricultural research institute. There are more than a dozen people, and there is only one who can read and write, just right, you can do this."

Li Chengqian was confused, "Agricultural Research Institute? What is this for?"

Mr. Zhou said with a half-knowledge: "I heard from the county magistrate that this is an institution that specializes in research on how to increase grain production. In the future, it will specialize in this matter. If it is done well, it will be a good thing for the country and the people!"

Li Chengqian scratched his head: "Can the grain output be increased? Du... the county magistrate made a mistake. Isn't the harvest of grain all dependent on the sky? If the weather is good, the harvest will naturally be good. When droughts and floods occur, the grain production will decrease... ..."

Mr. Zhou put on a serious face: "Li Qian, you can't talk nonsense. Who is the county magistrate? He is a civil and military star from the sky. If he says he can, he will definitely do it. This matter is so decided."

Therefore, Li Chengqian became a member of the Agricultural Research Institute in a daze.

The research institute, right next to the Tuntian Office, has a huge yard. Including Li Chengqian, the entire Agricultural Research Institute has a total of fifteen people.

Like Li Chengqian, everyone was dumbfounded.

After lunch, someone suddenly came to inform that the county magistrate was coming to give guidance in the afternoon, and everyone around was very excited.

Li Chengqian curled his lips: "Du He, a dude, doesn't know how to cultivate the crops. He knows how to farm? I'm afraid he's here to mislead his son."

As soon as the voice fell, a group of people walked in from the door.

Li Chengqian saw Du He at a glance.

Du He was dressed in a bunt, followed by several guards.

Old Fu was on the side, completely loyal dog leg, shaking the fan with his hands.

After Du He gave an order, Old Fu clapped his hands and shouted: "Assemble, roll over here!"

People from the research institute came forward to assemble one after another, and Li Chengqian also followed, but he hid behind the crowd, not daring to go forward, and even got a straw hat to wear, not daring to recognize Du He.

Du He glanced at everyone: "Starting today, the county will lead everyone to carry out agricultural research together. You are all elites selected by the farm. I hope you will study hard and work hard, so as not to disappoint the expectations of the people of the world."

Someone said in surprise: "Master, what does our research on food have to do with the people of the world?"

Du He glanced at the other party: "This county asks you, why do so many people starve to death in today's world?"

"This...of course, there are constant famines. If there is a year of good weather, everyone will naturally have enough to eat!"

"Also, if the court's taxes are not paid to the court, everyone will not be hungry!"

"The world is not peaceful!"

Everyone speaks freely.

Then he looked expectantly at Du He.

If the county magistrate can take a look at it more, he can blow it for three days later.

"wrong!"

Du He said suddenly.

what?
Everyone was dumbfounded.

I just heard Du He say: "Think about it, how many people and how much land does a family of five need to support a family?"

Someone said: "I know, the county magistrate, for a family of five, at least three people must plant more than ten acres of land so that the family will not go hungry."

Du He stood with his hands behind his back, and said helplessly: "The problem lies here. The biggest problem is not God, too little labor, or too little land, but too low grain production. According to the county annals of the county, in the past 20 years, the highest yield of wheat in Hu County was only [-] catties per mu. In most years, one mu of land could only produce about [-] catties. If the yield is increased to [-], [-], or even [-] jin per mu of land, will anyone in this world go hungry? If enough grain is hoarded in a good year, will anyone starve to death in a famine year?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

This is a whole new way of thinking.

Many people dare not even think about it.

Li Chengqian stood in the corner, took out a small notebook, recorded all Du He's words, and then showed a disdainful smile: "Since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, food has always been like this. Even the saints dare not say that they can increase food production. A mere Du He He, it's a joke that you want to make the yield of wheat reach [-] jin per mu, you're overthinking yourself!"

He was going to record everything Du He said, and find an opportunity to humiliate Du He.

Du He waved his hand: "Anything is possible, this county is here to help you create miracles."

Old Fu jumped out at the right time and shouted: "Applause!"

Crash.

There was a lot of applause.

Afterwards, Du He led everyone to draw a piece of land next to the research institute, called the experimental field.

A square piece of land was divided into four, with wooden signs placed in the middle, No. [-] Field, No. [-] Field, No. [-] Field, and No. [-] Field.

Then, Du He got a tent and directed Li Chengqian and others to dig the ground.

With Du He as the supervisor, everyone worked extra hard.

Li Chengqian was very unfamiliar with plowing the land for the first time, but in order to avoid being recognized by Du He, he actually gritted his teeth and persisted. At night, he was so tired that he couldn't lift his arms.

Under the oil lamp, he took out a small notebook.

It is recorded: He drives people to cultivate the land, which has nothing to do with whether the grain output increases or not. The second is to deliberately torture people's hearts, and his heart is punishable!

After recording the last word, he fell asleep and fell asleep.

That night, he slept more soundly than ever.
