Such a good future.
A narrow but bright room where only two people live, a bookstore where you can sit and read together, a street where people come and go, or even a garden wall full of tourists. If he had been born at that time, and he was not in Jinyiwei, he would be able to communicate with these scholars at ease, accompany Cui Xie in and out, and he would not be afraid to teach others about it, right
Xie Ying smiled and looked at the photos attentively, as if she had also arrived at that good time that she had never seen before, but will definitely come. However, when he looked away from the small photo, all around he saw the Cui family was all white, and the doors and windows were closed, making the room appear dimly lit, pulling him back from the imagined afterlife back to the present.
Seeing that he no longer looked at the photos, Cui Xie approached him and asked him, "How is it, do you like this gift? If it's not good, I can only repay the debt with my body."
Xie Ying put away the picture carefully, and said with a smile, "Why not? It's really good. I received a gift like yours, but I have nothing to repay. This time, I'll give it to myself."
The two fell on the sofa and got close for a while. When they looked up and saw the dark roof and wooden beams, Xie Ying remembered the neatly white roof and bright overhead lights in his painting, and pointed at the Tiao Liang said, "The lamp in your painting is good. I'll get a few glass lanterns, and hang them on the roof like a torus."
Cui Xie glanced at Liang sideways, and shook his head slightly: "The roof is made of wood, and some of them are covered with paper. If the lights are hung up, I'm afraid that the ceiling will catch fire? We are all reinforced concrete houses, and the lights are also electric lights. The light in the light bulb is not afraid of fire."
He didn't know that he could travel through time. He was busy working and earning money in college, and he didn't read too many books on making firearms and burning cement. A full plate of pornographic films can also be used as a background for him to draw comics, and it is basically useless in business!
He couldn't help holding his forehead and sighing, Xie Ying stroked his back with one hand to reassure him: "Don't force yourself, aren't these things also made by people in the next few hundred years? Although we don't need them, they will naturally come after a few hundred years. It is there, and you don’t have to get it out now. It’s not easy for me to install a lamp for you, so I have to burn a thin porcelain cover and put it on the lamp to prevent the flames from jumping up.”
Yes, although there is no glass, Daming porcelain is well developed, and there are many translucent white porcelains that have been burned very thinly, so the lampshade should be very beautiful.
Anyway, he can't make electricity, and he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to study glass. Let's wait for it to be imported from abroad in the future.
Cui Xie simply put down his entanglement, and said lazily, "I'm keeping my filial piety right now, and it's not easy to use the glass utensils. If you want to pack it, you can put it in our house first, and then use it when I'm full of filial piety."
The two of them never separated again after meeting. Xie Shan didn't see their adults until dinner time. Seeing his calm expression, he seemed to be spending the night in the mourning family's home. Master Cui is in Zhongxiaoli, is it suitable for you to live here? Do you still want to live until the Lantern Festival before leaving?"
Xie Ying said: "It is precisely because his family is bereaved and no one from the New Year's Eve comes to visit, so I can't stay for a day or two. In the past, our two families lived close to each other, and the exchanges were lively? Now their brothers live alone in Zhuangzi. I feel pitiful when I look at it. Besides, it takes more than two days to travel from Qian'an to Beijing. Let's start tomorrow, the 15th and 16th festivals are on the way, and it's not too late to be in Qian'an! "
Whatever the master says makes sense. Xie Shan stopped asking, and sighed: "Then the grown-up has to accompany his family to eat fast? It's a pity that the good wine we brewed at home was given away a few years ago, and I can't drink it during the festival."
Xie Ying let out a laugh: "You just want to eat wine and meat. I know that the farmers here still eat meat and fish. Just go and eat it, don't worry about me."
Xie Shan smiled shyly: "Isn't it also for the sake of the adults? At night, how about I watch them make some clean supper for the adults?"
Xie Ying wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered that Cui Xie had been a vegetarian for a few months when he was filial piety, so he changed the word "no" on the tip of his tongue to "good".
"In the evening, you can bring some more dishes. I don't like to eat his family's food with sesame oil, so let's try the farmer's dishes."
During the day, they are not good at being guests, and they can get rid of the master to eat meat, and they don't need to care when they are locked in their own house at night, right? Xie Shan thoughtfully asked the farmer to make some chicken, duck, mutton, and pork, put them in the big food box, wrapped them in several layers, and mentioned the west wing where Xie Ying lived.
When it was delivered, the dishes were still steaming, and there was also a pot of village liquor brewed by the farmhouse, which was also slightly alcoholic.
Xie Ying rewarded him with a few taels of silver and asked him to go have a drink with the farmers, or go outside to watch the lights at night. Xie Shan went out happily with the silver in his hand, and Cui Xie followed him, walking out of the upper room without a sound, and went into the west wing wearing a dark blue robe.
It can also be regarded as "waiting under the west wing of the moon, the windward door is half open", but unfortunately there is no "the shadow of the wall is moving, it is suspected that the jade person is coming".
Cui Xie was half regretful and half excited to meet the jade person privately, and he was reluctant to live up to it all night long. On the 16th, Xie Ying reluctantly packed her bags and brought some Qian'an specialty beauty papers, beauty lanterns, portraits of characters imitating comic strips, and pictures of ships at sea, and returned to Beijing to distribute to colleagues.
With him passing the news, the court also knew how the three Cui brothers supported their grandmother in the countryside and kept their filial piety. Teacher Li heard that he was having a hard time in the countryside and that his grandmother was seriously ill again. He couldn't help worrying about him, and he couldn't leave Beijing, so he wanted to send his son over to take a look.
Although he now has new talents such as Mao Cheng, the champion, and Li Mengyang, who is good at poetry, and there are also outstanding talents in literature and poetry like Wang Shouren among his colleagues, but the disciples he accepted at a young age are different after all...
When the sign was seriously ill, it was only the disciple who extended the medical treatment and donated medicine. Later, he taught the father and son fitness Daoyin exercises to heal their illnesses and prolong their lives. This kind of love is just like a father and a son. !
Li Zhaoxian was willing to take advantage of this light to travel to Beijing to see the world outside.
When the two Zhang Guoji heard about this, they also wanted to follow him to see it. Unfortunately, Zhang Heling was about to get married, and the parents and sisters at home, as well as the censors and officials outside, were all staring at her, making it inconvenient to go out. The two heard that Uncle Li was going to see their teacher, so they copied Zhu Juren's newly written "Youth Jinyiwei" manuscript and asked Li Zhaoxian to send it to Cui Xie for comment.
Looking at Zhu Caizi's article, Li Caizi sympathized with each other, and couldn't help but slapped the case and praised him a lot. He wanted to get the good wine from Xie's family to write this magnificent article.
The result was rejected by his father.
Mr. Li has always lived a hard, simple and frugal life, and he can't get used to his problems! He solemnly taught: "Your senior brother is not in Beijing, are we embarrassed to go to Xie's house to ask for wine again? There are only a few jars left after the new year, and I still have to invite Qiu Gelao, Chen Shizhao, and Lu Dingyi to come and drink at home. It’s enough for a child to drink some sweet wine, do you still want to go out after drinking such a strong wine!”
Disregarding the fact that his son had grown into a romantic talent, he left a small jar of rice wine for his son and sent him away. Li Caizi couldn't bear his father, so he had to make do with all the rice wine, and while he was drunk, he wrote a few poems against wine to Zhu Zhishan.
Senior brother and Xie Zhenfu have a close relationship, and he will definitely be able to ask for a few jars of good wine for him!
Because his health was not very good, it was already April when Teacher Li was willing to tell him to go out. When Zhu Zhishan heard about this, he also invited him to go with him. He was going to see Cui Xie, and he was ready to return to the south. He stayed in Beijing to write a book for Cui Xie. Now that the book has been written, he cannot study at Cui Xie , what is he still doing in Beijing
The two rented a carriage and went to Qian'an. They first visited the old lady of the Cui family, and then went to Jiaxiang Village to find Cui Xie.
As soon as they entered the manor, they saw a scene that was so familiar and sentimental—in such a small manor courtyard, a small lecture hall was built, with a dozen long tables in it, and the venue was full. Dressed up like a student of Zhuanghu.
Zhu Zhishan squinted at the group of students, and sighed: "Master Cui is indeed a famous Confucian today, and there is no difference in teaching. Even these villagers are willing to take the trouble to teach them personally."
Li Zhaoxian looked at Mr. Cui at the end of the yard, opened and closed his lips a few times, and reminded Zhu Zhishan in a low voice: "Brother Zhu, please put on your glasses and take a look."
Zhu Zhishan took out the one-handed high-end glasses from the glasses pocket around his waist, put it in front of his eyes and took a closer look, only to realize that the large wooden sign behind Cui Xie was not written on the Four Books and Five Classics, nor Mengshu. , but full of brands of "intercropping", "overcropping", "pollination", "plant ash", "bone meal", and even unsightly and vulgar words such as "accumulation of manure" and "urine water"...
Against his white-clothed, thin and immortal figure, it was obvious that the two romantic talents were suspicious of life.
Isn't he filial piety!
Shouldn't he be teaching books!
What did he write these vulgar things for!
The two stood at the gate of the courtyard, not expecting to enter for a long time. It was Zhuang Hu who had brought them in first to report on the stage. Cui Xie turned around and saw them standing outside, so he put down the charcoal and called them: "Mr. Zhu and his junior brother are far away, why are you standing at the door and not coming in to talk?"
Junior Brother Li was speechless for a while, Zhu Juren took off his glasses, but he was able to praise him freely: "Master Cui did not forget to educate the people when he followed the rules, and enlighten the wisdom of the villagers, which really made the students admire him."
Cui Xielang walked down with a smile, held the hands of the two of them, and turned to instruct the farmer: "Go back and try to make new fertilizer by yourself, and if you have nothing to do, go and listen to Xiao Songyan reading "Nongshu", and see if there are any in our farm in the farm equipment chart. Something useful. I have to entertain the guests first, and I will not give lectures for the past two days, so I will ask you to rest.”
The farmer in the courtyard stood up, packed up the tables and chairs, carried them into an empty room, and saluted in a proper manner, like a group of students.
Only then did the two guests regain their senses and asked him how a famous Hanlin scholar talked about "Nongshu".
Because the Ming Dynasty was called Xiao Binghe down!
During the Little Ice Age, the sunshine was short, the weather was cold, and the food production was reduced. The northern herdsmen suffered more, and the frequency of southern invasions intensified, and the tax and army salaries apportioned by the imperial court also increased. How many wars and peasant uprisings have come this way!
He, a low-level imperial servant, said that he can't control how the state's taxation is formulated, and he can't control the problems of land mergers and hidden fields. He can only rely on future agricultural knowledge to try to increase crop yields!
However, he also remembers nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and three-acid and two-alkali projects in agriculture. The ancient chemistry book he brought with him during his time travels did not contain the content of preparing fertilizers. He could only read agricultural books and Qimin's essential techniques while studying soil-based fertilizers with the villagers.
Nitrogen, he only remembers soybean rhizobia and urea; phosphorus, he also knows that there is phosphorus in the bones; potassium is better, as written in the chapter on alkali in ancient chemistry, the alkali block of plant ash contains potassium carbonate , the salt soil is sodium carbonate, and the burned plant ash can be used as potash fertilizer.
All of this was due to Xie Ying's visit over the new year, which inspired his determination to promote science and technology, so he tried to recall and tested something useful with the farmers. No matter how much he doesn't understand, he can only read the "Nongshu" now, and teach the farming experience and equipment summed up by the ancients to these farmers who do not read and only rely on the experience of generations.
He doesn't point to the income on Zhuangzi to live, but now he is using Zhuangzi as an experimental field for agricultural science station, and he will do it first. If he can really research something, he will be able to directly apply to the emperor and promote this practical technology. The worst thing is that when his teacher, Mr. Li, enters the cabinet, he will not be able to control the Ministry of Industry and let this technology spread to the states. county
