Chapter 120 120 The Legend of the Dragon
In his answer sheet, Wei Guangde proposed the idea of ​​setting up a special supervisor to study crops, especially drought-resistant crops. In fact, it is to establish a future Academy of Agricultural Sciences. In his vision, set up a special department to study crops and find high-quality and high-yield crops for promotion.

The reason why there is no way to set up a special prison, Wei Guangde calculated with his fingers, he couldn't find a suitable management department among the six departments, and Qintianjian or Guozijian didn't seem to be suitable, so he had to open a separate department .

Regarding the establishment of a new prison, there is really nothing to say to the court, but opening a new department means adding a few, more than a dozen official positions. Although the grade will not be very high, the fifth rank is considered to be the best.

Since ancient times in China, agricultural production has been dependent on the sky. Although everyone knows that water conservancy facilities are built to combat drought and flood disasters, there must be such conditions.

Wei Guangde proposed to establish a new department to specialize in the research of crops, high yield and high yield, and drought resistance. Although many examiners thought it was a bit metaphysical, they all thought this idea was good.

First of all, the money is not paid by oneself, secondly, the title of official is added, and finally, in China where the people depend on food, what could be better than this suggestion.

In fact, the ancients also understood the truth of the saying "no agriculture is unstable, no business is not rich", and the selection of high-quality seeds to increase farm output does not reflect the importance that scholars like them attach to agriculture?

Due to space limitations, Wei Guangde's article is only less than [-] words. In fact, he can't find more things to fill in. It's really not clear.

He knows that many new improved varieties in later generations are under the banner of "drought resistance", but he doesn't know how to make them.

I just read the report that Academician Yuan made hybrid rice, but he couldn't tell how to make it.

"I've seen this article earlier, maybe I'll give him a name."

Many examiners thought this way in their hearts, but they just had such thoughts in an instant, and they were thrown behind when they put down the paper.

However, the name Wei Guangde is still remembered by many of them.

At this time, Wei Guangde had already left Nanchang by boat with Zeng Yuanshu and others.

Zhu Shilong, Zhang Ke and others will continue to stay in Nanchang Mansion, because they still have activities such as Lu Ming Banquet and Confucius Temple worship, and Wei Guangde is eager to leave this sad place as soon as possible at this time.

Wei Guangde's reputation has spread far and wide, but he doesn't know it. At the moment, he is sitting on the bow of the boat looking at the misty Poyang Lake under his feet in a daze.

This boat was hired by them at the wharf outside Nanchang City to take them to Jiujiang.

This time, the candidates who came with them from Jiujiang Mansion were all here except those who were on the list. Zeng Yuanshu stayed in Nanchang City. He is currently studying in Yuzhang Academy, so naturally he will not follow.

At this time, only Lao Kan was the only one who was relatively close to Wei Guangde.

Lao Kan was also afraid that something might happen to Wei Guangde when he was young, so he sat next to Wei Guangde and watched him after he got out of the cabin.

Naturally, Wei Guangde would not do anything stupid. Although he did not pass the exam, he is already a scholar, and he can live and work in this Ming Dynasty, so there is nothing else he can't figure out.

What's more, he is still young, and he has plenty of time to take the imperial examination and continue to earn his future.

As the passenger ship moved forward, the shore of the lake in the distance appeared in front of their eyes.

"what?"

It was a bit strange that Lao Kan found out what was wrong first.

"Boater, why did you stop at the shore? It's not past Changling."

Lao Kan asked loudly to the boatman behind the boat.

"Guest officer, Xingzi Town is in front of us. Our ship will rest here for a day before leaving."

The boatman immediately answered Lao Kan's question.

"Why? I didn't say that before."

"Guest officer, it will be September [-] soon, I'm afraid it won't work if we don't go to the shore to rest."

The boatman explained, but Wei Guangde on the side was stunned.

"September [-], you will be resting at the shore, won't you sail?"

Wei Guangde asked curiously.

"Hehe, guest officer, this is the old rule of Poyang Lake. On March [-]rd, broken boats should not bend by the riverside, and on September [-]th, broken boats should not stand guard by the riverside. During these two solar terms, there are often strong winds blowing on the lake. , if you don’t dock, I’m afraid of accidents.”

The boatman licked his face and smiled back.

"March [-]rd, September [-]th, is there a strong wind on the lake?"

Lao Kan was a little puzzled, as if he had never heard of it, but he lived in Jiujiang, so it was not surprising that he didn't know about Poyang Lake, he was just curious.

"It's all the rules passed down from generation to generation. In these two seasons, there is often heavy fog and strong winds on the lake. An old man of mine once saw the Dragon Lord appear with his own eyes. He jumped out of the water and flew into the sky, leaving only a green dragon behind. .

Even though the Dragon Lord had already flown away, the lake was still very windy and rough, and the figure it left behind was rolled up tens of feet high into the sky, and all the fish and shrimp in the lake were swept into the sky. "

Hearing what the boatman said, Lao Kan became very excited, "Since that's the case, it's time to go to the lake to see the demeanor of the Dragon Lord with my own eyes, so that I can worship him."

"I can't, I can't, Lord Dragon, can anyone see it?"

The boatman hurriedly said that he didn't want to be forced by these scholars to get out of the boat to see the Dragon Lord on the lake.

"Seeing the Dragon Lord fly away, most of the boatmen around will be unlucky. The Dragon Lord is gone, but the afterimage left is enough to overturn the boats on the surrounding water. My old buddy is also good at water and has a big life. Take a life."

"Is the afterimage so powerful?"

Lao Kan's eyes widened as if in disbelief.

"Why am I lying to you, the job will go ashore after this, and there will be no more boats."

The boatman continued.

Lao Kan and Wei Guangde looked at each other, Wei Guangde guessed in his heart, but he was not sure.

There are still legends about water monsters in later generations. Although many say that they are large fish, the one that can overturn a ship has to be a large ship, which is not something that freshwater fish can do.

"Tell us about it. You can dock when you dock. After staying on the boat for a long time, it is also good to go ashore for activities."

Lao Kan continued to inquire with a smile.

"I remember what he said, at first the water surface was calm, but suddenly there was a strong wind, and then a dragon appeared on the water surface soaring into the air. Countless water splashes brought up by the body gathered in the air and formed a dragon shape that could not be swayed, and the surrounding water surface was blown to the ground. Near the afterimage, it was rolled up into the sky."

When the boatman said this, he couldn't help shivering. He looked at the calm lake. Fortunately, the pier was not far away.

"Handed down from the ancestors, it is said that three dragons sprang out of the lake at the most. The momentum, the sky and the earth changed color, and the sun and the moon dimmed. It was scary."

The boatman was talking about the stories he had heard, Wei Guangde and Lao Kan were stunned for a while, and after a while someone in the cabin heard the movement outside and came out and sat and listened.

It's a bit of a novelty, for those of them who only read books.

"The vernal equinox climbs to the sky, and the autumnal equinox dives into the abyss."

At this time, a scholar suddenly interjected.

Wei Guangde and the others nodded slightly when they heard this. It was recorded in the book that it was said so, "Fuyao", "Claw", and the dragon.

　Three chapters will be released at noon, and I look forward to the support of readers. Every day, 4000 words will be updated continuously in the early morning, even if it is released.
