Li Shimin was slightly shocked: "Seed? How can this be explained?"

Fang Jun thought for a while, then smiled and said, "It's very simple to explain! I don't know if you have ever thought about why some oranges are sweeter, while others are more sour? The ones are very dry, very few?"

"Is there some truth in this that we haven't figured out? As the saying goes, all things must have their surface and interior, every plant and every tree, all contain the truth! Only by understanding the essence of it can we distinguish right from wrong!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin immediately exchanged glances with Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling frowned and said: "The truth is simple to say, but it is difficult and difficult to implement!"

"It's really hard!"

Fang Jun nodded and said, "But there are simple ones too! Let's take Bao Nonggeng as an example. Can we clarify the truth of the door first?"

"For example, the ears of rice, since there is some truth in it that we don't understand for the time being, then let's ignore it. Instead, do what we can see first? Let's use a simple method to increase the ears of rice?"

"What method?"

"For example, if we select the best and fullest ears of rice from an acre of land as seeds and use them for cultivation, will the ears of rice we grow be fuller?"

"If it is not full enough, then we will continue to pick the best and fullest seeds from it, and continue to cultivate!"

"Let's deduce it like this! Cycle gradually, cultivate for three to five years, or even ten or twenty years. Everyone may wish to guess whether we can grow the fullest ears of rice? Will the grain we grow in the future be equal to every mu? They are all extremely full, and the yield is extremely high?"

"In the past, an acre could produce three stones, but if we do it, then one mu can produce four or five stones, wouldn't it be able to feed more people?"

"After all, this is one of the ways to think about and solve problems! It's not just about farming, it's about other things too!"

"As the saying goes, all things should be exhausted, from the near to the far, from the shallow to the deep, from the rough to the fine. Learned, questioned, pondered, discerned, into four sections, step by step, step by step Layer by layer. Only then can it be integrated, and you must not be self-righteous!"

Chapter 130 The problem is that Fang Yi loves this person

Fang Jun had already bid farewell to the South Study Room with the book and walked outside.

Just now he saluted Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others, and saw that things were almost the same, so he left the South Study Room.

As a secretary, he didn't have much to do. After all, generally speaking, two directors of the Imperial College are enough, and he is the third, so he only needs to come to attend a class in three days.

Naturally, there are still some things to do when he goes back, and he will not let himself be idle.

Jin Yang also said just now that he would go home early.

He needs something to eat.

……

At this time, there was still a dead silence in the South Study Room.

At Li Shimin's request, Dai Zhou, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, Li Daliang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and others hurried over.

Then they summoned a few farmers and craftsmen who specialize in the development of agricultural tools, and even a few servants from the Ministry of War who were in charge of the administration of armor and equipment also rushed here.

In front of him was a picture with many patterns drawn on it.

He also asked someone to bring two long straight shaft plows in front of him, and some craftsmen were busy beside them.

They moved a few pieces of wood and began to sharpen them, trying to use the wood to make the curved shaft plow shown in the pattern.

Li Shimin seemed extremely excited, and just now he gave thousands of instructions, and directly ordered to die, to keep an eye on the craftsmen and let them finish the job.

Fang Xuanling also stood aside.

Wei Hui, Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian and other important officials were all recruited. They sat on the table next to them and watched the craftsmen not far away busy.

Although Fang Jun had bid farewell to leave, some princes in the South Study Room did not leave, but still stayed not far away.

There was a large group of people in the dark, not daring to breathe, and the scene was like a dead silence.

A historian has come over to record what Fang Jun said just now, and then presented it to various officials for review. When Wei Hui, Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian and others picked it up and took a look, their bodies trembled violently, and there were tears in their eyes. Unbelievable look.

Li Shimin didn't ask them either, and when he saw their expressions, he already understood what he said.

Li Shimin didn't even have time to see Fang Xuanling.

Because many craftsmen were called, the Qu Yuanli on the rice paper was quickly completed, and the straight Yuan became Qu Yuan.

When he was talking about this just now, Fang Jun also said a little more, that is, the curved shaft should be longer and the arc should be larger. The larger the arc, the higher the elasticity, and the more animal power can be saved.

There are also plowshares, plowwalls, plow bottoms and presses, and even plow arrows, plow reviewers and plow disks can be adjusted.

If you make one and think it’s not easy to use, then you can make several more. Which one is better to try?Only after testing can it be promoted.

Now that the artisans are called, it is natural to make several kinds. When they are finished, they will definitely need to bring in cattle for testing.

Of course, the most important thing is not these, but what he talked about one after another later.

There are many ways to say what to say, but all changes are inseparable. The most important thing is to broaden your thinking, improve your horizons, dare to think, dare to do, and dare to act.

What else is said about Geiger, that is, things are based on poor principles, and only qualitative measurements can be obtained.Things have their own reasons, and they are carefully studied. The big ones are unique, and the small ones are wormy grasses and trees. They are similar to their temperaments, their likes and dislikes, and their constant changes. This is called quality testing...

For all these, even Fang Xuanling, who was very familiar with Fang Jun, had widened his eyes and held his breath.

Not to mention what method he proposed to cultivate seeds?

This method can be used not only on rice, but also on oranges, vegetables, and even wood and bamboo.

If you want sweet ones, then you can specialize in sweet ones, if you want sour ones, then you can specialize in sour ones, and cultivate them for three to five years, not ten or twenty years, then you can make what you want naturally.

It is necessary to build a seed field dedicated to cultivating seeds, and to prescribe the right medicine...

Although it is said that this method has not been verified to be effective, there is no doubt that when several officials were recruited to look at it, they were extremely shocked.

No comment was made, after all, it was hard for anyone to say anything about this kind of thing, and Li Shimin didn't continue to ask, but waited for the results from Li Daliang.

After several people sat and waited for a long time, Li Daliang finally got the result.

He hastily led a few sinongs over to bow to each other and said, "Your Majesty! The effect has already come out. That Quyuanli...is really superior. After testing by my minister, it can at least save more than ordinary animal power!"

Li Shimin's whole body trembled, and he immediately stared at him and said: "That is to say, with this thing, a tenant farmer could plow two mu of land before, but now it can be plowed into four mu? Is it right?"

"This one……"

Li Daliang was stunned and said: "It can't be generalized. After all, when the animal power is limited, even if half of the animal power is saved, the arable land cannot be doubled at once. There are other problems that have not been solved. For example, manpower! But after testing by Weichen and others , Three acres is indeed possible. It’s not four acres, but we have to consider whether it will exhaust the cattle!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin exchanged glances with Fang Xuanling, Wei Hui and the others.

Although Li Daliang didn't say it, Li Shimin, Wei Hui and others knew what it meant?

This means that Fang Jun is right.

At least, his way of looking at the world is correct!

"Then... the method of cultivating seeds..."

Li Shimin stared at Li Daliang.

He is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, in charge of water conservancy projects, and also leads the administration of shipping. Under the minister of the Ministry of Industry, there are three divisions of the Ministry of Industry, Tuntian, Yubu, and Water, among which the Tuntian Division is responsible for farmland cultivation.

Li Daliang nodded and said: "The son-in-law is not the only one who proposed this method, the predecessors have mentioned it more or less. It's just that he taught the princes how to think, which is a bit strange!"

Li Shimin frowned: "Tell me!"

Li Daliang took a look at Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others before continuing: "This is the method of removing the inferior and cultivating the superior, and cultivating the superior seeds. The ancients once said: If you want to grow money, remove the grain; grow stones, and obtain the upper seeds. Select the strong and huge ears of wheat as seeds, and cultivate them in the coming year. Naturally, you can get better ears of wheat!"

"Of course! Although this method has been summed up by the predecessors, it is not so clear. And the seed field he just mentioned... seems to suggest that His Majesty specially open up a seed field for the development of seeds. After the seeds are successfully cultivated, they can be sold to others. The people of the world are farming... Such a statement is extremely tricky!"

"Obviously. The son-in-law of the house has seen how tenant farmers cultivate crops and how to select seeds, and thus got the doorway from it, and thinks it should be so! Now the imperial court does not have a special person to do it, which is a pity! Now the minister also thinks that this method is outstanding. A feeling of seeing the sun through the clouds and mist!"

Li Shimin took a deep breath, stared at him and said, "You mean this method is feasible? If the imperial court does this, and then promote it to the people of the world, wouldn't it be..."

"Your Majesty! There are still many problems to be solved. What the concubine Fang said is only one of the ways to solve the problem! If you want to increase the yield per mu, there are also water conservancy, soil and temperature differences. Different regions can grow different seeds. Different seeds. Only by prescribing the right medicine, then the yield per mu can be increased naturally! This minister agrees with Fang Consort’s words, this is a far-sighted strategy, but it will take too long to implement. I’m afraid it will take ten years!”

When Li Shimin heard the words, he already understood in his heart.

He looked back at Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and the others, walked back and sat down on the chair, picked up the drawing of Qu Yuanli on the table and took a look.

Did not continue to speak.

The problem was naturally not with Qu Yuanli.

It's not about how to choose Jiazhong!

Not even in the seed field!

The problem is, Fang Yi loves this person!

He obviously didn't finish what he said just now.

Maybe I don't want to say it, maybe I don't want to say it.

Li Shimin knew very well that this person was by no means as simple as it appeared on the surface.

If I had written a few poems before, I would just be talking about them and talking about them. Although I have talents, there are many capable men and soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin is not short of talents.

Which one of the people in the court stands up now, isn't he talented?

But this legacy...

The more I look at it, the more I feel that this person is unfathomable.

He was not teaching the princes of the Tang Dynasty how to farm the fields. From the beginning to the end, he was talking about one thing, that is to teach them how to think!

After thinking for a while, Li Shimin turned around and shouted: "Child slave! These few days, you went to the blessing house... What's going on? Come and talk to Father!"

Li Zhi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Yes!"

Chapter 131 I guess it's a joke

Just about to speak, at this time, a large group of court ladies walked towards this side.

A few more queens appeared.

It seems to be Princess Li Shu of Lanling and Princess Li Mengjiang of Linchuan and others.

Princess Li Shu and Li Lizhen of Lanling married early, when she was only 12 years old. The son-in-law is the grandson of Queen Taimu and the governor of Yanzhou, Dou Huaicang.

It is said that this princess is also very powerful. She was intelligent and talented since she was a child. When she studied "Book of Changes" at the age of nine, she could already understand her modest and exquisite words; truth.

Needless to say, Princess Li Mengjiang of Linchuan is also outstanding in talent and learning. It is said that she has a good relationship with Wu Mei, the second daughter of the founding hero and warrior Wu Mei.

Seeing Li Shimin, Li Zhi and others were here, the two princesses froze and hurried over to salute.

"Li Shu, Li Mengjiang! I've seen my father!"

Li Shimin took a look and nodded.

The end of the new year is approaching, these young princesses all chose to go back to Chang'an for the New Year, and now they are gathering with their sisters in the palace.

At this time, it is estimated that they saw so many ministers here with strange expressions, so they stopped and looked at what Li Shimin and others were doing?

"Children, tell me!" Li Shimin said to Li Zhi, he didn't have time to pay attention to these princesses, knowing that Li Zhi was in Jinyang during this time.

The other ministers could not help but quiet down.

Li Zhi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Father, in fact, most of Fang Changshi's words are about investigating things. Although he occasionally does poetry, calligraphy and painting, he doesn't seem to care about these kinds of things. He is more concerned with Young slaves, imperial sisters, and others talked about the way of studying things! He said that only by studying things and extending knowledge can one cultivate one's morals and keep one's family in order!"

Li Shimin frowned and said: "Of course I know that he admires Gewu. If not, there would be no such thing as Qu Yuanli. Apart from this, he didn't say anything else?"

"Of course...there are some more!" Li Zhi thought for a while, and continued: "Actually, Fang Changshi doesn't talk much. Only one sentence. Fang Changshi often said, the more you know, the more you feel ignorant! So sometimes, he keeps silent!"

"The more you know, the more you feel ignorant?" Li Shimin and others frowned.

"That's right!" Li Zhi nodded and said, "Geuewu is knowledgeable, and knowledge is used to investigate objects. Fang Changshi often said that although he really knows a lot about Gewu, there are still many questions that he can't understand. For example, why did the objects fall? Why does the moon rise? Why are there days and nights? What are the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning? Is it attributed to the gods? Is it only the gods? Man is the only one of all things?"

"Later Fang Changshi said again: Man is not the only thing. Man is also one of the many things. The Tao does not depend on man. All things in the world have their own Tao. For example, why do plants grow? Why do flowers grow? Open? Cattle, sheep, and livestock, why can they also grow into groups? The reason why people are human is because they know that they are human, not because God defines them as human beings. The reason why things are things is because they don’t know that they are things, and it is not because God defines them. For things! Later, he said a lot more!"

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others frowned.

The former continued: "He usually tells you this?"

"No! In fact, Fang Changshi said very little. It's just that the childish slave was curious, so he asked a few more questions. In fact, he and the imperial sister didn't talk about it at home!" Li Zhi said, thinking about it Thinking about it, he said again: "Besides, Fang Changshi also said some terrible words!"

"What terrible words?" Li Shimin said.

Li Zhi saw a few more people walking towards this side, and it seemed to be another princess. He paused before continuing: "When he said this, Fang Changshi was also talking about the act of investigating things. Later he said Tang's students looked down on Gewu, and seemed to have no idea why they were studying, and felt a little angry in their hearts. So they said something!"

"He said that the so-called scholars should establish their hearts for the world, establish their lives for the people, inherit their knowledge for the sages, and bring peace to all generations! From this, you will know why you study? What kind of ambitions will you show in the future?"

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others were shocked suddenly, their eyes widened.

"Later, Zhinu also felt that this sentence made sense, so he asked him why he didn't bring peace to all generations? As a result, Fang Changshi immediately laughed and said that he was the second son of the Duke, and what kind of son-in-law. You don't need to do this, Yunyun! When Li Zhi said this, he seemed to remember Fang Jun's reaction, so he laughed and said, "Fang Chang said that although he can talk, he can't do it. Of course, I think it's just that he doesn't want to do it!"

The scene was suddenly dead silent.

Many people seemed to be frightened when they heard what Li Zhi said.
