Sinong Temple used its own technology and took the initiative to seek funds from the public to build winter vegetable greenhouses. Qin Mu admired the practice very much and praised it several times in a row, which made Chen Gui and others very happy.
Scientific research requires a lot of funds. If it is all allocated by the Ministry of Revenue, it will greatly increase the burden on the court.
However, it is impossible for every one of these scientific research projects to produce results. If they do not, court officials will certainly not be willing to provide funding when applying for it.
Without funds invested in scientific research, there will be no results, which will form a vicious cycle.
If the current practice of Sinong Temple is implemented well, it will not only solve its own scientific research funding, but may even generate income for the court, thus forming a virtuous circle.
In the vegetable greenhouse, Qin Mu could not help but say to Gu Jun'en and others with emotion: "In my opinion, the practice of Sinong Temple is worth promoting vigorously. The Imperial Household Temple, which is in charge of animal husbandry, the Ministry of Industry, which is in charge of industrial research, and even the Military Equipment Bureau, also have many technologies that can be put into civilian use.
These departments used to have only expenditures but no income. If the Sinong Temple model is applied, these departments may generate a lot of income for the court. It is a very good way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. "
Qin Mu drew inferences from one example, and Gu Jun'en also said after hearing this: "Your Majesty, I think it is not just as simple as increasing revenue and reducing expenditure for the court. The rapid promotion of various technologies to the people will definitely play a huge role in promoting social progress and the development of people's livelihood."
"Good, good." Qin Mu nodded repeatedly. In later generations, even many military-industrial enterprises in the United States were privately owned. Facts have proved that when everything is invested in by the government, the final result is always unsustainable.
Another thing is the civilianization of a large number of high-end technologies, which is also very important. The result of civilianization is the formation of fertile soil, so that technological seedlings can thrive and form a forest effect.
The development model of the former Soviet Union will eventually become deformed. As the saying goes, a single tree cannot make a forest.
The Sinong Temple greenhouse once again reminded Qin Mu that he could no longer follow the old path of history and could not wait until he fell behind and was beaten before learning from his mistakes and making corrections.
The promotion of these models and the change of ideas are definitely more important than conquering Southeast Asia.
Qin Mu turned around and said to Chen Gui and others who were unable to hide their joy: "The New Year is coming soon. The year-end rewards for all officials in the Sinong Temple will be doubled."
Chen Gui and the others bowed down one after another, shouting in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."
"Get up. I have something else to ask you. How is Sinong Temple doing in terms of rice seed improvement and research on grafting technology?"
"Your Majesty, these Sinong Temples are all piloting. In terms of rice seed improvement, the main thing is to cross-plant different varieties of rice together, and when the flowers are growing, use sticks to pull the rice flowers so that they can spread to each other. In terms of grafting, many fruits and vegetables have been successful, and the grafting technology is not complicated. In fact, it has existed since the Song Dynasty, but it has never been taken seriously..."
"Very good. In addition to various varieties of rice, why not try hybridizing with some wild rice?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Qin Mu didn't know much about this. He only heard that hybrid rice was made by crossing wild rice. But he had no idea how to do it. He could only rely on Sinong Temple to slowly figure it out.
When leaving the greenhouse, Qin Mu called the wealthy man named Huang Meng forward and said, "Mr. Huang, you are bold enough to invest huge sums of money, which is very good. I have a vision in my mind, that is, if you do not lose money, you can grow winter vegetables that ordinary people can afford to eat."
"Your Majesty... I will do my best to grow vegetables that ordinary people can afford. Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty..."
Huang Meng was so excited that he was incoherent and kowtowed repeatedly. Qin Mu knew that if he continued talking, it would only be annoying, so he said a few words of encouragement and then left the greenhouse and returned to the city.
Huang Meng sent a lot of peonies and peonies that were about to bloom, so that the car behind Qin Mu almost turned into a float.
After the leader has finished his inspection, we certainly cannot let him leave empty-handed. We can give him some vegetables, which are available in the royal greenhouse, and we can also give him some beautiful flowers.
Not to mention flowers, as long as the emperor is willing to accept them, Huang would give his daughter away without hesitation.
Qin Mu returned to the palace and scattered flowers everywhere. In Cuiwei Palace, Xu Ruoshi and other girls were so happy that their eyes were narrowed.
The petite Li Xiangjun came forward with the flowers in her hands and bowed gracefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift."
Qin Mu laughed and said, "Last night, the crabapple blossoms were wet with rain, and a few of them were light and delicate, and seemed to be about to speak. The beauty woke up in the morning and came out of the orchid room, picked some and compared her makeup in front of the mirror."
Li Xiangjun, the bright and pretty lady, immediately held the flower to her cheek and asked in a sweet voice, "How are the flowers? How are your faces?"
Qin Mu examined her carefully, shook his head and replied, "Not as good as Hua Yaotiao."
The beautiful lady was angry when she heard this: "I don't believe that dead flowers are better than living people."
Qin Mu smiled but said nothing.
The beautiful woman plucked a flower, crushed it and threw it in front of the man, saying angrily: "Humph, please sleep with the flower tonight."
The two of them performed an impromptu performance in perfect coordination, which first stunned Xu Ruoshi, Dong Xiaowan and Li Zhiyin. Then they all giggled with their sleeves covered, their waists bent, their eyebrows curved, and the fragrance of flowers and the faint scent of beauty came together, making people intoxicated.
The girls smiled sweetly but couldn't help feeling envious. They also had flowers in their hands and knew about this poem about jealous flowers. After Qin Mu recited the first four lines and stopped, only Li Xiangjun responded cleverly and in time.
This kind of spiritual understanding is better than a thousand words. I am afraid that even when the emperor looks back on the past in his old age, he will not forget this scene.
Qin Mu picked up Li Xiangjun's petite and light body and turned around, laughing and saying, "Sleeping with flowers is fine, you are both my most beautiful flowers."
"Your Majesty, I hope you will not blame me for any offense I have caused you... Hehe..."
"By the way, I remember someone called the emperor Sanlang."
"Yang Yuhuan."
"Haha, Yang Yuhuan can call Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Sanlang, so what's wrong with you calling me Lang?"
Li Xiangjun wrinkled her nose and said, "I don't want to be Yang Yuhuan, who brings disaster to the country and the people. Your Majesty must be a wise ruler, a wise ruler for life."
"Xiangjun, you are making things difficult for me. I don't want anything else but to be a tyrant who eats, drinks and has fun. Your request is too high, too high."
"Your Majesty, please stop scaring people. Your Majesty, you went to visit a vegetable greenhouse in the wind and snow. This is not what a foolish king would do, hehe..."
"What should a tyrant do?" Qin Mu leaned close to her ear and whispered with a smirk on his face, "Like what you did last night and this morning... ahem, one dragon and four phoenixes, does that count as a tyrant?"
Li Xiangjun was so embarrassed that she buried her head in his arms and refused to lift it up again.
At this time, a female palace maid came in with a letter, presented it to Qin Mu and said, "Your Majesty, this is from Master Huang of Huanglianshan. Please take a look at it."
The letter was not sealed. Qin Mu took out the letter and saw that it briefly recorded the news from the south of the desert. Ma Yongzhen and Meng Ke joined forces to besiege Norbu on a mountain south of the Balin tribe for 19 days. When Norbu's food and grass were running out, there was no hope of breaking out and the morale of the army was in chaos, they launched a large-scale attack on the mountain, annihilated more than 4,000 enemies, and captured more than 10,000. Norbu escaped with 200 light cavalry, and Ma Yongzhen was chasing him.
Before this, Norbu was actually like a tree without roots and water without a source. However, after Ma Yongzhen and Meng Ke integrated the troops of various factions, they had a total of nearly 70,000 troops, and the defeat of Norbu was expected.
But it was a pity that Norbu's light cavalry escaped the encirclement.
While Qin Mu ordered people to fill the bath with hot water, he was thinking that although Mobei had been swept by Aobai, Niu Wanchuan and others, most of the Zasak people still stayed in Mobei and were under military control.
Although Norbu only has two hundred light cavalrymen left, if he were allowed to escape back to Mobei, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause.
Another issue is the Chechen tribe that moved to the middle reaches of the Heilongjiang River. This is also a source of worry. If it is not resolved, it will eventually leave trouble.
"Your Majesty, the hot water is ready. Please take a bath first." Li Zhiyin came up to greet him. Her soft Korean accent reminded people of her soft body.
Qin Mu nodded and followed her to the bathroom, but he was still thinking in his heart how he could defeat the Chechen tribe without bloodshed.
After all, the Qin Dynasty's battle lines have been stretched long enough, and the country has not had a good time to recuperate. If these foreign enemies can be eliminated without resorting to violence, it will be of great benefit to both the country and the people.
