Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 496 Hearing Books and Eavesdropping?I'm afraid he won't steal it!

"In August, before the Shangwu society is the upper time, the thrower uses one and a half liters. The middle time is the middle time, and the two liters are used. The lower time is the lower time, and the two liters are used..."

The middle-aged scribe came to the side and finally heard clearly.

As soon as he arrived, the servant who was talking was slightly startled, but he didn't ask any questions and continued to talk to the old farmer.

As soon as he said this, the old farmer nodded, recalled for a moment, and said: "The county prince is indeed very talented. The timing and amount of farming are really just these. In the past, we just relied on the practices of previous years to sow seeds." , now after listening to the words of the Duke relayed by my little brother, I now understand, isn’t that all? Little brother, you are really knowledgeable."

The servant then laughed and said: "Old man, that's wrong. I'm actually a rough guy. Our master taught me this a few days ago, but it's strange to say that I've heard him say this before. Books always go in with the left ear and out with the right ear. Not to mention memorizing them, they don’t even make a big impression after a while, but the new owner is different. When the words and things are said, it is extraordinary. Let alone me, even the stupidest kid can remember it clearly."

After hearing this, the middle-aged scribe on the side couldn't help but nodded slightly, and whispered to the entourage beside him: "I have heard about it in the past, saying that it was the prefect Chen who taught ethnic studies at home, so he was able to write "Shi Shuo", now it seems that this person is a genius in teaching, good at cultivating people, and can teach knowledge to even humble servants. This is why he is better than many others. I don't know how he does it. People's learning is like the four seasons of the world. If they miss the spring, they will lose their wisdom. These servants have long passed their prime, their brains are stiff, and their hearts are repelled, so it is difficult for them to learn. But Chen Zhi not only let them learn , and you can still remember it firmly, there must be a wonderful method, if you can get it, you can change your appearance."

When the voice fell from this side, the old farmer laughed and said, "This is still my little brother's ability." He scratched his hair, "I asked the old man just now, and the little brother can answer, and ordinary people are asked this way." , I don’t know what to say anymore.”

"This is also the credit of my master." The servant still shook his head, with a look of admiration on his face, "What my master taught, except for some sentences, even listed things that fellow villagers may ask, let us Able to search for clues based on pictures and give answers."

At this time, the old farmer couldn't help being surprised.

"So there is still such a saying, that the prince has such a clever plan, it's amazing, it's amazing!"

Not only was the old farmer shocked, the middle-aged scribe was also surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not strange. After all, in the past few days, he had already experienced Chen Zhi's skills and how capable Chen Zhi's servants were. It’s knowing.

It turned out that this servant was the servant of the Chen Mansion. He was not the two hundred direct subordinates transferred by Chen Zhi from Pengcheng, but some servants who gradually arrived in the later period. Each of them was selected to be strong and strong. They were sent to Come, the original intention is to train as an armed servant.

But the strange thing is that Chen Zhi did not let them practice military skills. Instead, he first asked them to recognize some simple words. At the same time, he also asked them to recite and understand a lot of articles and words. It is said that many of them were... It comes from an agricultural book written by Chen Zhi.

It stands to reason that these servants who were selected to come here may not necessarily have the talent for learning literature, and they have passed the best shaping period. After several lectures and education by Zhi, they actually learned a lot of words one by one. What's even more rare is that some of the articles that Chen Zhi asked them to recite were firmly memorized.

This incident spread and everyone in Dai County was amazed.

At the beginning, many people did not believe it and thought it was an exaggeration. They thought that most of these people had only learned a little bit and were bragging that they had learned a lot.

But such doubts disappeared completely after these servants were released to supervise the planting of summer wheat.

The reason is that this group of servants were sent out by Chen Zhi to consult with many farmers who cultivated important land!
Farmers till the land, servants serving people, these were supposed to be two parallel lines that did not intersect with each other, but in just a few days, they were broken——

The servants sent by Chen Zhi said they were supervising the fields, but in fact they were guiding the farmers in farming.

However, there are specialties in the arts, and farming is also a job that requires experience. Many of these servants have not had much experience in the past. Even if they have done farm work at home, it would be difficult for them to give guidance. of.

However, what they had to do this time was rather special, because they were to fully describe what Chen Zhi had taught them. Chen Zhi told them all the situations that farmers might encounter one by one, and first asked many servants to go to the fields to spread the word. , and regardless of family, the tenants of several big families in the county of that generation can also see the figures of the Chen family's servants.

The servants taught the farmers how to farm, and no one believed them at first, but what they said was gradually heard by many farmers, who thought it made sense. After asking a few questions, and combined with their own experience, they felt more and more That's interesting.

Later on, more and more farmers followed their words and found that the efficiency and effectiveness of this kind of land increased linearly, and they couldn't help but become more and more convinced.

Even many scholars also paid attention, some of them simply listened from the sidelines.

Although this middle-aged scribe was not a native of Dai County, he saw that there were many people listening, so he followed the trend and listened from the side. Only after listening to it did he realize that what the servants were describing were actually stories from farmers. It was clearly an experience summed up from some agricultural book!
Farming is a special profession that involves technology, equipment, and experience. It is also related to the stability of the world, so it is an extremely stable field that is not easy to change.In this case, the truly valuable agricultural books are those outstanding books that condense past experience and summarize many methods.

In the eyes of middle-aged scribes, the words narrated by these servants undoubtedly come from such a book. Unfortunately, these people only know half of it, and they have to ask local farmers to tell them something. I don't know how regretful I am that I can't see the whole picture.

Time passed quickly. As the sun set, the day's work came to an end. The servants also gathered their team and retreated quickly.

The middle-aged scribe looked at the figures going away, sighed, turned to look at the followers around him, and asked: "How is it? How many have you remembered?"

"I remember a lot today, because the old farmer asked a lot of questions." As the attendant spoke, he handed over the book in his hand.

The middle-aged scribe took it, looked at it carefully, confirmed it with his memory, and nodded gently.

No matter how confident he is in his memory, it is still not as good as recording it in time. What's more, in the past few days, many fragmented sentences have no connection between the front and the back, making it difficult to remember.

"Huh?" Suddenly, the middle-aged scribe who was looking at the book let out a light sigh, "This sentence mentioned the four words "Essentials for Qi Min", and it was vaguely self-proclaimed. Could it be that this agricultural book written by Chen Zhi is? Is it called "Essential Techniques for Elevating the People"?"

………………

"Prefect, I also know the content of the art of Qi Min. This is the most precious treasure of the country. How can I show it to others so easily?"

In the prefect's house, a famous scholar from Jizhou was sitting in front of Chen Zhi, expressing his feelings. He was holding a book in his hand, shaking it gently.

This friend is from Yangping, after being a great Confucian Shu Xi, since Pengcheng followed Chen Zhi, he has always maintained a close distance, and always maintained a calm attitude when encountering problems, as if he was far away.

But at this time, he was no longer calm.

Beside Shu Jiao, stood Zhang Kang, a son of the Zhang family in Anping. This man's elder brother was also famous, and like Shu Jiao, he was a descendant of the Northland family.

These two people following Chen Zhi's side seemed to be contacts between celebrities, but the essence was that the Beidi family was observing Chen Zhi, understanding his attitude towards the Beidi family, and then responding accordingly.

It had not been long yet, and Zhang Kang and Shujiao had not understood Chen Zhi's attitude clearly, but they were still surprised by the output of the paper mill, but they still watched with cold eyes until the "Essential Art of Qi Min" appeared.

"This is the book I compiled over the past few days after listening to your servants' opinions." Shu Jiao explained the origin of the book in his hand without waiting for Chen Zhi to ask, "This book is priceless! But it was Many thoughtful people listened, especially the Hu spies!"

When Chen Zhi heard this, he smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Kangze said: "I have been waiting for the news. There are many Xianbei spies now operating in Daijun, trying to find out whether the Qi people's art is true or false. One of them is the high-ranking official of Murong Xianbei, whose surname is He Mingjing. Murong Xianbei's status is not low and he is a great thinker. I heard that he has the trust of Murong Xian. If such a person secretly learns the important skills of improving the people, doesn't it make them rich and powerful?"

"You two, please be patient." Chen Zhi looked at the excitement of the two people in front of him and finally spoke, "As expected, he is from the Beidi family and is well-informed. So even if He Jing hides his identity, he can't hide it from you two."

Shujiao and Zhang Kang looked a little unnatural when they said this. Of course they had their own channels, but they were nominally following Chen Zhi, but they were still unwilling to contribute. No matter what their intentions were, at least they couldn't justify it on the surface.

"However, you don't have to worry. This agricultural book is written for people to read. If no one reads it, then this book is meaningless." Chen Zhi said something first, waved his hand, and stopped Zhang who was about to speak. Kang, "However, I also know the current situation. Don't worry, you two. The key to Qimin's essential skills is not in experience, but in equipment. Farm tools that do not respond. Many farming tasks have limitations. As for Xianbei to learn?"

He suddenly sneered: "I'm just afraid he won't steal the lesson. If the people on the grassland control the strings, ride horses, and live in pursuit of water and grass, it would be really elusive. But if they take the initiative to farm, the situation will be different! Changes in lifestyle, It will bring about a change in the way of thinking.”
