Daqin: At the beginning, the father-in-law was invited to rebel, but the father-in-law turned out to

Chapter 64

Song Yuan pondered.

Although he has a finished dictionary in his hand, what is written on it is the Xinhua dictionary.

There are still many things that are only called in the 21st century and cannot be used at all.

Its exquisite craftsmanship cannot be shown, otherwise how to explain it?

He had to make a new dictionary himself.

After fifteen days of exploration, papermaking has been perfected successfully.

It takes about seven days for a piece of paper to be made and molded.

However, it will take some time to make a book, such as making living printing engravings.

The engraving of a dictionary is really a big project. The workshop is working at full capacity, and it is estimated that it will take half a month.

After thinking about it, Song Yuan said, "In half a month, I can make a dictionary!"

Brother Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Didn't you say it's already written? Why is it taking so long?"

Li Si was also surprised. Could it be that Song Yuan was lying just now?

Song Yuan replied angrily: "It takes time to make paper, and I have to print all the words on paper, which also takes time!"

Brother Zheng and the two nodded after hearing the words.

Brother Zheng didn't blame Song Yuan for his bad attitude, he stroked his hairy head and said, "Then work hard, I'll go back and rest!"

Li Si also got up quickly, helped Brother Zheng out of the room.

At this time, Ying Shiman looked at Song Yuan and said, "Husband, the reason why you make a dictionary is for our children!"

This was something she had been guessing just now.

After all, Ziyi is growing up slowly, and she will definitely learn in the future.

Songjiazhuang's education resources are backward, and his father is unwilling to show his cards, so he can't send Ziyi to Xianyang Palace to study.

For this reason, Ying Shiman has been bothered by her studies for a long time, but she has never told Song Yuan.

Unexpectedly, my husband unexpectedly made something as powerful as a dictionary.

She has the feeling that this is a gift from a father to his child.

Song Yuan frowned upon hearing this.

He really didn't expect so much, it was only for Song Jiajun's vocational education at first.

But children's education is really important, and dictionaries are very useful.

Seeing Ying Shiman's expectant eyes, Song Yuan didn't want to ruin her vision.

Song Yuan replied: "It's considered!"

Ying Shiman smiled happily, hugging Song Yuan and facing his handsome profile, it was a seal.

Then she ran to the stroller beside her, hugged the baby and cheered: "Baby! Baby! Daddy didn't treat you badly, he just made a dictionary for you! Daddy is a good daddy!"

When Song Yuan heard this, his face darkened.

This girl didn't know how many bad things she said about herself with her children.

But thinking of the way Ying Shiman sent clothes just now, he was relieved, being a mother is not easy.

"On the contrary, this clothes seems to have to be updated!"

Song Yuan murmured in his heart.

It's still early winter, and Guanzhong is already extremely cold.

In ancient times, winter was also a season of high incidence and high death.

Especially during the Qin Dynasty, the textile industry at this time was very backward.

Most ordinary people use plant hemp to make clothes, and hemp clothes have little effect on keeping warm and are very weak.

In winter, people can only stuff thatch into the sackcloth to keep out the cold.

Rich people only use silk and fur to keep out the cold.

The cold protection in the house is also very backward, basically relying on a stove, and the kang has not even been invented at this time.

However, the situation in Songjiazhuang is still better.

Five years ago, Song Yuan taught the villagers how to raise silkworms and make silk clothes.

In addition, Songjiazhuang is backed by mountains, and he also taught the villagers to raise some goats in captivity, and then cut wool to make bedding.

Both are very warm, and the villagers of Songjiazhuang hardly died of freezing in winter.

It's just that the output of both is not high, and they can only be self-sufficient.

And in the future, the Song family army will fight in winter, these things are not the most suitable items to keep out the cold.

"Cotton must be grown!"

Song Yuan muttered to himself.

Without cotton, he can't even make gauze, and when he goes to the battlefield, he won't be able to treat the wound.

But at present, there is no cotton in Daqin, and even kapok has not been discovered yet.

Cotton flowed into the Central Plains from India during the Song Dynasty.

Fortunately, Song Yuan once rewarded him with cotton seeds.

And it is also a super cotton seed like sweet potato, which matures in two months and has the special effect of ignoring the season.

Song Yuan thought for a while, and when the sweet potatoes and potatoes were ripe, it was time to plant cotton in the field!

...

At the same time, Li Si and Brother Zheng returned to the study.

Brother Zheng thought of the dictionary invented by Song Yuan, and suddenly thought of what Song Yuan had said about cultivating talents.

He asked, "Li Si, you said Song Yuan invented the dictionary, what exactly was it for?"

Li Si asked tentatively: "For the sake of the little Palace Master?"

Brother Zheng said with a smile: "Although it is possible, it should not be."

Li Si asked curiously, "What does Your Majesty mean?".

Chapter 65

"How did you lead to universal education half a month ago?

Brother Zheng asked.

Hearing this, Li Si pondered for a while, and then thought of what happened that day.

He was a little surprised and said: "That day His Majesty asked Song Yuan about cultivating medical successors. He raised the question of education. Could it be that he wants to cultivate his own talents?"

Brother Zheng pondered: "It should be true. He has hidden some recent technologies very tightly. It is difficult for craftsmen to steal their lessons. He must have started to doubt!"

"What do you suspect? If he knows the identity of His Majesty, shouldn't he be happy?"

Li Si was very puzzled.

Last time he heard Meng Tian say that if His Majesty did not die, Song Yuan would not rebel.

If Song Yuan knew the identity of His Majesty, what would he hide?

Brother Zheng shook his head and said, "He must have guessed wrong. Think about who else in the Six Kingdoms has the surname Zhao?"

Li Si was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Zhao Guo?"

"Correct!"

Brother Zheng nodded and said: "He probably regards me as an aristocrat of Zhao State. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Zhao State was one of the most powerful countries in the past. He cooperates with Zhao State's subjugation department, which is like seeking skin with a tiger. Naturally, he must be extremely careful! "

Li Si also got a hint, speculating: "He is cultivating talents now, probably because he is afraid that we will infiltrate the power, and then gradually erode Songjiazhuang?"

Brother Zheng nodded and said: "That's right, that's it, Song Yuan is thinking too much after all!"

Li Si explained: "It's normal for rebels to be sensitive."

Brother Zheng couldn't help laughing and said, "You actually spoke for him? I really didn't expect it."

Li Si felt ashamed and laughed: "Song Yuan is well-informed and talented, and this minister cherishes his talent!"

Brother Zheng pointed at Li Si, shook his head and laughed.

As a prime minister, I have a very high self-esteem, and it is rare to respect a person so much.

My son-in-law is not bad!very good!

Involuntarily, Brother Zheng squinted his eyes and looked forward to the birth of the dictionary.

He touched his head and said, "How long did he say the dictionary will be made?"

Li Si bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Song Yuan said it will take half a month!"

Brother Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he asked back, "Isn't that when Sweet Potato was born?"

Li Si was stunned and said, "Report to Your Majesty, that's right!"

Brother Zheng is a little strange now.

He murmured: "Do you think this time happened by chance, or did Song Yuan deliberately arrange this time to divert my attention and yours?"

Hearing this, Li Si also thought about it.

What His Majesty said is not unreasonable.

According to Song Yuan's frightening speed of compiling the dictionary, he can take out the dictionary at any time.

Those papermaking techniques can also be invented by hand.

So Song Yuan can indeed control the time when the dictionary appears!

After a while, he said: "If it was really arranged deliberately, it is very likely to cover up the sweet potato! But there are two situations."

Brother Zheng frowned and asked, "These two situations?"

Li Si said: "The first is that the yield of sweet potatoes is not high. He needs to come up with new things to increase his cooperation chips!"

"The second situation is that the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes is really 2000 catties and 6000 catties per mu. Song Yuan needs to divert his attention, so as to steal stars for moons?"

Speaking of this, Li Si himself was a little unconfident.

Brother Zheng even said: "It doesn't make sense at all. I have been sending Meng Tian to guard the fields all the time. Whether the sweet potatoes are productive or not, Meng Tian will know the first time. He has no time and opportunity to steal stars for moons."

Li Si nodded and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"It is estimated that the production of sweet potatoes is not very high."

Brother Zheng said with a determined face.

Based on his understanding of Song Yuan, every invention of Song Yuan is premeditated.

Although this dictionary can be explained, the timing of its appearance is too coincidental. Nine out of ten it is to divert attention and downplay the impact of the low yield of sweet potatoes.

Seeing this, Li Si didn't know what to say.

Now that he closes his eyes, he can still recall the scene of digging the ground that night.

The fields are full of sweet potatoes or half-ripe potatoes. If they all grow normally, high yields are not impossible.

And facing the people of the world, Li Si, as the prime minister of the empire, hoped for a high yield of sweet potatoes.

But His Majesty's speculation is not unreasonable.

"I just hope that sweet potatoes are really productive!"

Li Si prayed in his heart, even more than looking forward to the appearance of the dictionary, he was looking forward to the sweet potato.

Song Yuan, you have to keep your word!
