Compulsory education in ancient times

"Happiness is happiness, but the corn is not edible yet." Tao Yanran put the corn away, spread a new piece of rice paper, and said, "It seems that the establishment of the Institute of Biology is urgent, otherwise we will find it in the future. The crops are really helpless."

Qi Bohan didn't quite understand Tao Jianran's specific nouns, but he did understand Tao Jianran's intention: "You want to build a biological research institute, has someone chosen?"

"Otherwise, what can we do?" Tao Yanran sighed, rolled his eyes, looked at Qi Bohan again, and said flatteringly, "Otherwise..."

"Let the hidden guards look for it, just the team just now." Qi Bohan directly blocked Tao Jianran's words.

Tao Jianran shrugged: "Then you arrange it."

Anyway, if the system is not allowed, the efficiency of other methods is almost equal to zero.

Tao Jianran didn't expect too much, and only asked Wang Wanning and Du Kaiyu to select a group of students with excellent biology scores, and a few experienced old farmers to study the corn for now.

Although there is no master to lead, but anyway, start to study first.

Tao Jianran remembers that it takes at least several years to domesticate a species.Maybe after finding a biological master, with the accumulation of the previous research, we will be able to overcome it in one fell swoop!

This time, the location of the Institute of Biology was decided in Ning'an.Not only is it to balance the academic atmosphere in the north and the south, but also because the climate in the south is more suitable for plant growth, which is convenient for cultivating corn and organisms that need to be studied in the future.

Tao Jianran only issued an order, and ignored the rest.Anyway, now that there are sweet potatoes, the matter of corn is not in a hurry.

This year's autumn harvest is the time Tao Jianran is looking forward to the most. Not only has the cotton production increased several times, but also the first phase of the sweet potato trial planting results!

Coming ahead of these figures is another piece of good news.

Tian Da led the researchers of the Institute of Physics to make the telescope mentioned in the physics textbook!

Tao Jianran was not unusual for this first telescope, which had a regular shape, so he handed it to Qi Bohan after only a few glances.

Knowing the usefulness of the telescope, Qi Bohan couldn't put it down immediately, and exclaimed: "This is a good thing."

Qi Bohan's current attitude, compared with the indifferent reaction when he got the corn before, is simply the difference between meeting a cold palace concubine and seeing a beloved concubine.

"I have asked the research institute to sort out the specific manufacturing methods. Who do you think is better to produce?" Tao Yanran handed Qi Bohan a pamphlet.

"Of course it's an arsenal." Seeing Tao Yanran's puzzled expression, Qi Bohan explained, "On the battlefield, this telescope allows us to spot each other before the enemy. This is a huge advantage, and we must not let the enemy get it."

Tao Jian suddenly realized and nodded: "I only thought about using it in the sea in the future, but I didn't expect it to be used on the battlefield, so let's leave it to the arsenal."

The two of them decided on the destination of the telescope in a few words, but the first telescope in history was not left in the palace by them, but they sent it to Ding Qingyun as soon as possible.

Soon, Ding Qingyun received this artifact, and after trying it out, he was overjoyed!

The plan to capture the wizard alive has not been finalized for a long time. Instead, because they have been found, they are hiding in this dense forest. They are so embarrassed that their morale has dropped a lot.

Although Ding Qingyun saw it, he had no other choice.Now with the help of a telescope, Ding Qingyun suddenly had a bold idea in his heart.

Now there are not many masks left by Tao Jianran, which is not enough for all the soldiers to go into battle.Ding Qingyun decided to let the large army lead away the ordinary soldiers of the Nanman, and he personally led a few elite soldiers who cooperated tacitly to catch the wizard!

After being hunted down for a period of time, the battle proved that Tao Jianran's mask could not completely resist the fragrance in the wizard's blood, but it had a mitigating effect.

Then this time they simply put on five masks per person, and try not to breathe, which should be able to resist for a while.

Those wizards are all little crispy skins. As long as they are not affected by Mixiang, it is not difficult for a few of them to subdue a wizard.

The only difficulty with this plan is whether the wizard will let the soldiers leave his side...

Ding Qingyun discussed with several lieutenants for a whole night before finally drawing up the final plan.

On the second day, with the scorching sun in the sky, the miasma in the dense forest dissipated somewhat, and the visibility improved a lot.

Ding Qingyun held the binoculars, and soon found the trace of the wizard and his pedestrians!

Five days later, a Nanman wizard was tied up with chains, locked in a heavy iron box, and transported to the Institute of Biology in Yuezhou.

The imperial doctors who stayed in Ning'an to teach medical skills were urgently gathered together, and the imperial hospital also planned to send several imperial doctors to assist.

In the end, Tao Xiran's name was on the list handed in by the imperial hospital!

Tao Jianran frowned slightly, and asked the director of the imperial hospital who came to deliver the list: "Did Xiran ask to go?"

"Return to Your Majesty, yes." The dean said, a few drops of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

Going to Ning'an this time is not a good job.

A bad one is likely to be countered by that wizard!Many imperial physicians tried their best to escape this quota, but Tao Xiran rushed forward foolishly.

What's even more tragic is that the imperial doctors all knew the relationship between Tao Xiran and Tao Jianran, so naturally they wanted to stop him from going.

But Tao Xiran was also stubborn and insisted on going.

This dean is caught between the queen and the queen's younger brother, it's really hard to be a man.

Fortunately, Tao Jianran was not a cruel person, upon hearing the words, he only said: "Understood, you go down first."

The imperial doctor left the imperial study with a look of fear on his face. Tao Yanran's original majestic aura collapsed in an instant, and he lay down on the table in a very disfigured manner and said to Qi Bohan: "What should I do? Shall I stop him?"

"Block me if you want to, and don't if you don't want to." Qi Bohan said nothing.

Tao Jianran groaned a few times in dissatisfaction, and complained in great frustration: "You said this silly boy, why do you want to go where there is danger? But you will worry about the elder brother to death!"

"Everyone has their own aspirations, didn't you say you want them to grow up freely?" Qi Bohan said with a light smile.

"Are you mocking me?" Tao Yanran raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, and looked at Qi Bohan threateningly.

Qi Bohan didn't admit it, nor denied it.

He never agreed with Tao Jianran's theory of freedom.Wanting to give freedom to the people under him is completely contrary to wanting to control absolute power.

If it was Qi Bohan, since he was worried that Tao Jianran would be in danger, he would never let him go to a dangerous place.As for Tao Jianran's own thoughts...just for reference!

Seeing Qi Bohan's appearance, Tao Jianran pouted knowingly that he was bored.After contemplating for a long time, he finally sighed, shook his head and said, "The children and grandchildren have their own blessings, let them go."

He could stop it once, but he couldn't stop it the second time, let alone watch Tao Xiran for the rest of his life.It's better to let him do what he wants to do to his heart's content, even if he encounters some danger one day, it can be said that this life will not be in vain.

In this way, it is better than Tao Jianran shutting him up in the capital and living a melancholy life for 100 years.

Qi Bohan looked at Tao Yanran's entangled look of letting go but still wanted to let him go, he didn't understand, but he didn't stop his decision.She just stepped forward silently, gently hugged Tao Jianran into her arms, and said softly: "It's okay, I will always be by your side."

Tao Yanran buried his head in Qi Bohan's chest greedily, feeling the warm breath of his lover, as if it filled his tired heart with electricity, and soon regained his calm.

Three days later, Tao Xiran left Beijing, and the autumn harvest data from various places were presented to Tao Jianran's case one by one.

The cotton harvest was as expected by Tao Yanran. This year's output can not only be used by all soldiers, but there is still some surplus.

Tao Jianran bought all the rest of this part with his own money, and then sent them to Sanniang's textile factory to be spun into cotton cloth and padded jackets.

After these clothes are given to relatives and friends, there are not many left.Tao Jianran asked the textile factory to sell the rest as brand new high-grade fabrics in the store.Although cotton cloth is not as magical as silk, it can make a fortune while cotton is not yet popular.

Although cotton planting continues to expand in the coming year, cotton jackets will flow into the homes of ordinary people.However, the technology of weaving cotton cloth is exclusive to the textile factory. It will take some time for others to research it.

The trial planting of sweet potatoes was generally quite successful.The yield is not as high as Tao Jianran said, but the yield per mu in the first year of trial planting is comparable to the yield of one mu of rice!

Tao Jianran and Qi Bohan were very pleasantly surprised, and directly ordered Huangzhuang to send fifty catties of sweet potatoes to the palace. On August [-]th of this year, Qi Bohan will invite all civil and military officials to the palace to participate in a sweet potato feast!

Tao Jianran was naturally very happy, and added: "August [-]th, why don't you ask the imperial chef to make some mooncakes, and let the ministers take them home."

Qi Bohan saw Tao Yanran's high spirits, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Okay. It is really a great fortune for Rui Dynasty to find such a high-yield and delicious food this year, and we must commemorate it grandly. August [-]th is the middle of the autumn harvest. , why not set it as the Mid-Autumn Festival in the future, and let the common people celebrate together."

Tao Jianran was taken aback for a moment when he heard the words, and then whispered in Qi Bohan's ear, "How do you know about Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Sometimes you talk in your sleep." Qi Bohan winked at Tao Jianran.

Tao Yanran didn't expect Qi Bohan to remember these little things in his heart, his eyes became hot, he ignored the presence of outsiders, and threw himself into Qi Bohan's arms.

Qi Bohan took advantage of the situation to support Tao Yanran's buttocks, and without any consideration for outsiders, he hugged Tao Yanran firmly.

Zhang Lin and Gongsun Deye, who came down to report their work, looked at each other in blank dismay. This was the first time they had been shown affection.

But Weng Yuanji had long since accepted the strangeness, and pretended to close his eyes to rest his mind, and he was pure if he couldn't see it.

Soon, it will be August [-]th.

Tao Jianran and the chef contributed a lot of sweet potato recipes.Such as steamed sweet potatoes, shredded sweet potatoes, pasta made of sweet potato flour, etc., there are ten sweet potato delicacies with completely different flavors!
