Chapter 248 How to know if you don't try
After coming out of Duan Zhengze, Jiang Yuanxi was really happy physically and mentally. She was not sure if she could abduct Duan Zhengze away.

Fortunately, Duan Gong did not give up after all, and wanted to pass on the orthodoxy, which really made her happy.

Seeing that the sun was still early, Jiang Yuanxi got on his horse and ordered, "Follow me to Aniang's farm."

After the words fell, he rode away, followed by the guards behind him.

"Mr. Zhu, Wu Niang is taking the liberty to visit, and I'm sorry to bother you." Jiang Yuanxi saluted Zhu Xuezhen.

Zhu Xuezhen waved his hand, still in the plain clothes, with mud on the bottom of his trousers, "I'm not bothering you, but you haven't been here for a long time, are you here for something?"

Jiang Yuanxi was different from Duan Zhengze's detour this time, she cut straight to the point, "Mr. Zhu, I wonder if there is any progress in the rice you are researching?"

If another person asked, Zhu Xuezhen would not say a word, but the person who asked was Jiang Yuanxi, who once worked as an apprentice by his side and helped him record a lot, but Zhu Xuezhen told her frankly.

"There has been a lot of progress."

Although there was only such a sentence, Jiang Yuanxi could see from Zhu Xuezhen's joyful expression that this progress should not be small.

She congratulated, and then continued: "Mr. Zhu, I know there is a place where the land can be harvested twice a year. I wonder if you are interested?"

Zhu Xuezhen stood up abruptly, with an excited expression, "Where is it? What exactly is it?"

He thought that only the land in Dajin would grow twice a year, but he didn't expect this kind of land to exist here in Beiliang, so how could he not be excited?
"Danyang County." Jiang Yuanxi spit out three words lightly.

Zhu Xuezhen nodded solemnly, "When Wu Niangzi leaves, I will pack my luggage and go on the road with you."

Jiang Yuanxi was caught off guard, and stared blankly at Zhu Xuezhen, really frightened by his decisiveness.

She didn't mention her intentions, so she agreed?

"Mr. Zhu, why don't you ask me why I told you this?" Jiang Yuanxi felt embarrassed instead, as if he was bullying an honest person.

Zhu Xuezhen took it for granted, "You told me that the land in Danyang County can be harvested twice a year, didn't you want me to plant new rice there?"

Jiang Yuanxi: "...Yes, Mister is very accurate."

"Well, that's terrible. You think I will plant the new rice I cultivated in Danyang County, and the land in Danyang County just meets my requirements. Isn't this a happy thing for everyone?" Zhu Xuezhen said indifferently.

Jiang Yuanxi couldn't help asking: "Sir, aren't you worried that I have bad intentions?"

Zhu Xuezhen looked at her in surprise, "I am a farmer, and I have only dealt with field seeds all my life. Even if you have any ghosts, what you can get from me is nothing more than seeds. If you can spread the seeds to Go to Quanbeiliang, even if you have bad intentions, then you have good intentions, after all these rice plants are planted, and the people can live a little easier."

Jiang Yuanxi was immediately in awe, this is a person who is wholeheartedly for the people, farmers are most willing to stand beside the common people and speak for them.

She stood up and made a respectful salute to Zhu Xuezhen, "Mr. Wu Niang admires her wholeheartedly for the common people."

Zhu Xuezhen sat firmly, he could bear this ceremony.

"Sir, besides wanting you to promote your seeds in Danyang County, Wu Niang has another idea - please work harder, sir, to pass on the tradition of the farm family in Danyang County, how about carrying it forward?"

Jiang Yuanxi was not willing to let these historically splendid treasures disappear, especially for peasants like Zhu Xuezhen who were still working in the fields down-to-earth. It was a great pity that such orthodoxy disappeared.

"Leave the orthodox traditions of the peasant family to pass on and carry forward?" Zhu Xuezhen murmured, and then fell silent.

To this day, the orthodoxy of the peasant family is still there, but it has been greatly weakened. Even including him, there are not even twenty people in total.

Carrying forward the traditions of the peasant family has always been something that peasants like them have always dreamed of.

With a hint of self-mockery at the corner of Zhu Xuezhen's mouth, he shook his head slightly, "Want to carry forward the morality of the peasant family? It's too difficult."

The disaster more than 300 years ago destroyed countless orthodox traditions. Zhu Xuezhen was moved by Jiang Yuanxi's words, but he also knew that this was a daydream.

"How can you give up so lightly, sir? It's like the husband I knew before became two people. The husband has been researching and improving rice for several years. At that time, it is unknown whether the improvement will be successful, but you have not given up. Why? When it comes to matters related to the inheritance of orthodoxy, do you feel that it is not enough?"

Jiang Yuanxi looked at him with disapproval, and couldn't help but blame in his tone.

Zhu Xuezhen was not angry, and twitched the corner of his mouth bitterly, "It was easy to say in the past, but now the imperial examination advocated by the Holy Majesty can be regarded as completely cutting off the orthodoxy of the peasant family. People who can read and write now are willing to learn the knowledge of the peasant family?

They all went to the Nine Classics, the Classics of Calculation, and the Art of War. These young people, all of them want to become officials in the court, so why are they willing to farm.Difficult, it is really difficult. "

Zhu Xuezhen is not without frustration, but his arms can't twist his thighs, and he can only watch the poor students studying the Nine Classics day and night.That's impossible.

Jiang Yuanxi also knew that what he said would be normal in the future, if no external force intervened
"Sir, it is said that the folk customs in Danyang County are simple and honest. The children there must not have too many distracting thoughts. The land is the lifeblood of the people. The land there can be harvested twice a year. You may not be able to leave a farm tradition there. If you don't go Try it, it’s a pity after all, maybe it’s okay?”

Why are the Nine Classics, Criminal Law, and Arithmetic so popular these days?It's just because the imperial court selects scholars to test these knowledge, what if one day the imperial court resets the yamen of the Shaofu?
What if the official positions of agricultural inspector, agricultural teacher, and agricultural Zheng are five-rank officials?
What if these agricultural officials can be granted titles if they can do great things that are beneficial to the country and the people?
With power and power, are you afraid that no one will learn from farmers?

This is what Jiang Yuanxi is planning. She has great ambitions in her chest, and she can't explain them to Zhu Xuezhen for the time being. She wants to step by step, slowly walk to the position she wants, and realize her ambitions one by one.

The prosperity and prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty hundreds of years ago and the blooming of flowers have always been the direction of her efforts.

Was Zhu Xuezhen moved by Jiang Yuanxi's words? Yes, he failed thousands of times to improve the seeds day after day, and he was not discouraged. How could he be timid when it comes to the inheritance of his own orthodoxy?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was sorry for the former teacher. Zhu Xue was really ashamed. He was a firm-minded person. He quickly calmed down and said decisively: "What Wu Niangzi said is very true. If you don't try, how will you know?" Doesn’t work? If so, then I’ll leave it to Fifth Lady.”
