In the end, the emperor could only invite Shen Xi, who looked the dumbest. After all, only this guy could ask these questions without making Lin Shu feel awkward.

Shen Xi came here excitedly.

He took the pulse of both Lin Shu and the emperor, then moved closer to the emperor, but his eyes kept glancing in Lin Shu's direction.

"Your Majesty, when I returned that day, I found a bottle of elixir in my sleeve. I don't know who dropped it from me."

The emperor was stunned for a moment after hearing this. It seemed that he did not hear Lin Shu's inner thoughts about this matter that day.

But it was most likely done by Lin Shu. He knew his daughter well.

When Lin Shu heard Shen Xi's words, he could not help but look at Shen Xi in silence.

[So, you idiot, you won't throw it away! ]

[I put this directly into your sleeve while you were hugging me. ]

[If you throw it away, I will fight you to the death! Not only will you be sorry for me who racked my brains, but you will also be sorry for the system that goes crazy every day and gives me points! ]

The emperor's mouth twitched, "Maybe Murong Xun gave it to you because he was afraid you would get hurt in the palace."

"Why don't you go ask him."

Shen Xi nodded continuously, "Ah, yes, it should have been given to me by Murong Xun."

Lin Shu looked at Shen Xi's unreliable look.

[Is there really any hope for Murong Xun? Why does it feel like he's close to death?]

The emperor smiled in his heart as he listened to Lin Shu's doubts. He had indeed found the right person.

When Shen Xi heard Lin Shu's doubt, he felt a little aggrieved.

Why does everyone think he is unreliable? He is obviously very capable.

The emperor didn't care about Shen Xi's thoughts and chatted with him idly. In a few words, he brought the topic to the academy.

Shen Xi immediately became excited again.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you also invited the Nong family and the Mo family this time. Why did you invite them?"

"I heard many people asking on the way here."

"They all feel very disappointed. After all, many people are farmers themselves. How can they expect their children to learn these things?"

"The Mohists were even less favored. Craftsmen were of low status, no different from slaves. The people complained about this."

Hearing this, Lin Shu rolled his eyes.

[What do they know! You should know that technology is the primary productive force. ]

[Today, people still rely on oxen to plow the fields, and watering the fields is done by people carrying water.]

[How can you look down on the Mohists who invented things? ]

[The family can sow several acres of land and harvest several acres of land every day. If they had a harvester, it would be easy to harvest 70 to 80 acres a day.]

[Speaking of planting, how many kilograms of wheat can be harvested per mu of land now? At most, about 500 to 600 kilograms. ]

[In the future, wheat seeds can produce about 1,000 kilograms per mu, not to mention the high-yield wheat varieties, which can even reach about 1,600 kilograms.]

[Alas, what right do people have today to look down on the Agricultural School and the Mohist School? ]

Lin Shu sighed, very confused.

The emperor and Shen Xi were so shocked by Lin Shu's words that they were speechless.

Their current yield per mu is not even as much as Lin Shu estimated. Even at the best harvest, it can't reach 500 or 600 kilograms. It would be good if they can get 300 or 400 kilograms.

They didn't even dare to imagine the thousand pounds that Lin Shu mentioned.

If, if they could double the yield per mu, no, even if they could increase it by half, the people would be able to live a good life.

Why can't we add agriculture to the college? It must be added!

But can the Mohist school really do as Lin Shu said?

The emperor did not think any more about it. Regardless of whether he could achieve what Lin Shu said, at least based on the items presented to him by the Mohist School, it was enough.

After sighing, Lin Shu looked at her emperor father.

[Fortunately, my father is smart and knows the importance of these things. ]

[I did not look down on the Agriculturalists and the Mohists.]

The emperor felt a little embarrassed. If he had not blindly believed in Lin Shu, he might not have added these.

But since Lin Shu had already praised her, it wasn't impossible for him to continue.

The emperor acted as if that was the case and talked eloquently, changing Lin Shu's words to make them more in line with national conditions and more sound.

Shen Xi was amazed at the emperor's expression. He didn't expect that His Majesty could think of these things without the princess's explanation.

You are worthy of being His Majesty.

Shen Xi was so confused by the two that he left the palace with a lot of emotion.

This good news is naturally meant to be shared.

How could I not tell Murong Xun?

The emperor was lost in thought at this time. He really needed to spread the word among the people.

But how could the people believe this?

The emperor became a little worried for a moment.

Lin Shu felt a little distressed when he saw the emperor's bitter face.

[Dad is always worried like this, I'm really afraid he won't live long. Alas.]

[I don’t know what he is worried about? ]

The emperor had become accustomed to Lin Shu's concerns that he would not live long.

Instead, a smile of relief appeared in his eyes.

His daughter loves him so much.

He would naturally tell Lin Shu about Lin Shu's questions, after some talking to himself and sighing.

Lin Shu also understood the emperor's concerns.

Her brow furrowed.

[My father is the emperor, why does he always like to talk to himself? ]

What if someone else hears it? 】

The emperor's heart choked and he looked at Lin Shu with resentment.

I thought to myself, isn’t this what I’m telling you?

You think everyone is like you, a little girl, revealing your true feelings everywhere.

Alas, what can he do? Even if his daughter complains about him, he can only spoil her.

Lin Shu was somewhat unconcerned about the emperor's concerns.

[All we need to do is send someone to tell the people about these measures. There will always be people who understand.]

[It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. 】

[Ah, my father just thinks too much. As long as he is willing to improve the status of craftsmen, these are not a problem at all. ]

[At this time, many people can't afford to eat. Daddy's academy provides food and accommodation. Let alone teaching knowledge, even if it doesn't teach knowledge, there are still many people who want to come. ]

[I just hope that the entrance door won’t be broken down by others on the day of the entrance exam. ]

Lin Shu stretched, turned over, and fell into a deep sleep.

The emperor was left staring blankly at the memorials that he had not yet finished reviewing.

Will there really be so many people signing up by then?

The emperor could only wait for that day to come with doubts.

At the same time, every family near the capital city where there is a child who is studying is secretly looking forward to it.

Although they are not optimistic about the two subjects added by Your Majesty, they can just focus on other useful studies when the time comes.

The impact is not big.

They were so happy when they thought that being selected would save one person's annual expenses.

I pay more attention to my own children's studies and supervise them every day.

To motivate your own children, you must be favored by His Majesty.

Some of these students were extremely excited and worked harder, while others were miserable and were forced to study until late at night.
