It seems that I am still too full [travel]

In mid-April, when Xiaoman arrives, the fields in the fields are full of rice, and the originally clean mountain house of the academy welcomes a wave of distinguished guests.Yang Weizhen, a great Confucian with superstar influence, was first fooled by Song Lao because of green plum wine, and later attracted by Xie Shi's theory and various new things he created. After the lecture, he decided to stay in the academy to give lectures.Since then, just like the star effect, many famous people who had had concerns also stayed after seeing this, and successfully brought a wave of "high-quality teachers" to Dongcang Academy.

Xie Shi looked at the two elderly people who were over 100 years old together, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly in his heart.One of the two old gentlemen was holding an ice bowl and the other was holding fried ice. They sat on the armchairs very comfortably and ate very contentedly, just like two Maitreya Buddhas who are safe from everything.Xie Shi was worried that the old man would get sick from eating too much cold food, so he cut the portion by more than half, and complained about it.

The strange-looking back chairs behind the two of them were specially prepared by his craftsmen for the two elderly people. They are simple sofas made of duck down and cotton stuffing in a modern style, not to mention how comfortable they are to sit on.It's a pity that among the people present, only two respected old gentlemen were treated like this, the rest of the people did not dare to be presumptuous, and all of them sat upright in front of the Great Confucianism, even Xie Shi was no exception.

The early summer is hot, especially this year, for some reason, the temperature in the south has risen extremely fast. Therefore, the canteen of the college has become freezing point. Ice bowls are popular around Le County.Not only the two old gentlemen had food in their hands, but also the talented scholars from Suzhou and Hangzhou and Xie Shi who were present were also eating summer snacks.Everyone chatted while eating, and someone mentioned that Xie Shi has been paying attention to Cixi's youngest surnamed Luo recently.

Xie Shi never expected the news to spread so quickly, so he hurriedly put down the ice bowl, and explained a bit: "This junior just met Luo Sheng, and Luo Sheng's articles are quite literary, so he asked about it in private. Fan." The future great writer, can the article be literary!There is absolutely nothing wrong with Xie Shi's boast!

Although he was very curious about "historical celebrities", Xie Shi still suppressed the idea of ​​making friends with the future big boss now. After all, he is just an unknown young man at this meeting, and it is really strange to approach rashly, but Xie Shi quietly I asked someone, mainly to see if the boss has started writing "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"...

Xie Shi's explanation did not arouse any doubts, and the topic of the people did not revolve around an unknown Luo Sheng, but turned away, and began to talk about this year's abnormal weather.Mr. Song finished the cold banquet ice in a few mouthfuls, and when he saw Xie Shi’s share, he hadn’t moved a few mouthfuls, so he nodded with a smile, “Tanwei, you should find someone to cure your bitter summer problem.”

Xie Shi was called by name, and explained helplessly: Yuxi Tuandui, "The sun has been hot recently, and there are a lot of things at hand, so I lose my appetite when I get busy."

Some people in the meeting thought that Xie Shi was busy with the aftermath of the lecture, and they laughed and said that the lecture held by Dongcang Academy is absolutely unprecedented, and I am afraid that it will be talked about in the next few years.When the guests came, they came with light clothes, but when they returned, they returned with a lot of souvenirs. When they thanked them, they also kept their promises and presented each Confucian scholar with a set of new colored papers unique to Dongcang "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove".

This colored paper, which was finally named "Dongcang Jian", was passed on from this, and now among the scholars and scholars, it is regarded as the holy product in the paper, even because this paper is the only one who participated in the Dongcang lecture at this time. There are talents, very rare, and the unique color printing process that no one can reproduce, and they are held at a high price.These days, the manager of the bookstore seems to have started the second spring of his career, and walks with the wind every day. Unfortunately, Xie Shi is well versed in "hunger marketing" and knows that only by occupying a "rare" title can the maximum benefit be achieved, so According to the bookstore, it is not allowed to ship in large quantities, but to publicize that the craftsmanship is complicated and the production is not easy, and it will be sold outside when people's appetite is satisfied.

Not only the books and notes were famous at the lecture, but also the novelty of Xie Shi’s song and dance drama, which was even more famous among the people. "After listening to other zaju dramas, I felt that they were boring, the setting was monotonous and false, and the content and conception were very vulgar. Even if the troupe copied all the content from outside, they always thought it was acceptable. The celestial music and god dance we watched that night was completely different. When will Dongcang perform "Benevolence" again?"

Xie Shi doesn't care about plagiarism by outside theater troupes. This is not his original creation. As for when to perform it again, Xie Shi can't be sure. Whoever has hosted a banquet knows how tiring and trivial things are. Xie Shi will be in a short time Even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't want to do it again. Anyway, the hidden task of recruiting the master of the academy has been successfully completed this time, so he just slapped haha ​​and perfunctory.

Someone also mentioned another matter that Xie Shi was working on: "I heard that Mr. Xie Shan is planning to organize and print your articles, poems, etc. at this lecture into a collection of essays?" He smiled and said: "It's a rare event, so the published articles should be published as an anthology and circulated to the world. At that time, I will have to trouble you gentlemen to make a preface for this anthology..." As for the sales of this anthology, whether it will lose money or not, that's up to you. It's not Xie Shi's first consideration. At that time, he will send a copy to all the gentlemen present at the meeting, and he will definitely not let it be suppressed in the inventory.

Xie Shi also has his own little selfishness. This collection of lectures is to enhance the influence of the academy and create momentum for Han Ji’s rebellion; The true historical records also save future generations of historians from being confused and arguing about the question of "whether Li Bai is a foreigner or not"!For this reason, he also specially invited professional painters to draw the situation of those few days of the lecture, in order to truly record the historical situation!

However, these things sound like a lot, but they are not at all the reason why Xie Shi is now so worried that he has committed Ku Xia's problems. He is worried for another reason.On the contrary, Mr. Yang was thoughtful, thought for a while, put down the ice bowl, and couldn't help expressing his doubts for many days: "I heard that Tanwei is good at agriculture. He not only made a new plow that is widely used, but also bred fairy plows that increase production. Dao. Recently, you always go to farms in the outskirts of the city, but something happened to Xiandao?"

When they heard that there might be something wrong with Xiandao, the rest of the people also became nervous.Since they came to Le County, they have heard about this fairy rice many times. They thought it was just something made up by folk zaju troupe. It is unbelievable. How could they know that this fairy rice came from Xie Shi's hands, and there is indeed the rice!Many Confucian scholars paid close attention to it, even if they were dubious and ignorant of farming, and wished to go to the field to observe it, but it was a pity that Xie Shi said that the rice seeds in the field had not grown yet, and they could not see any difference. You just stopped thinking about it, and now you hear that there may be something wrong with the fairy rice that everyone has been looking forward to, so you are naturally worried.

This is the fairy rice that is said to be able to double the yield per mu!It is a time of troubled times, most of the farmland is affected by the flames of war, deserted and uncultivated, and the people are displaced. But whoever cares about the world, who doesn't look forward to having this immortal rice to save lives and save the world!

"Don't worry, gentlemen, it's not something wrong with the rice in my field." Xie Shi hurriedly appeased everyone living in the seat, and explained in detail: "You gentlemen must have sensed that last winter's climate was abnormal, and it was an extremely cold winter. There were several heavy snowfalls. At that time, Wansheng worried that the weather would be dry in the coming year, which would be unfavorable for farming. Unexpectedly, his worries came true now.

Speaking of this, the handsome young man frowned slightly, and sighed: "It's Xiaoman season, but the river is not full, and it is getting more and more dry. Xiezhuang's experimental rice field was built early due to late growth, and irrigation is not a problem. The species itself is drought-tolerant, so there is no need to worry about it. But Wansheng heard that the farmlands in other lands are now due to lack of rain, and the summer harvest may be halved, especially as the drought becomes more severe as we go north, Wansheng can't help but feel worried all the time."

The life of ordinary people is not easy, if drought is added, the world will be even more chaotic!Xie Shi couldn't help sighing helplessly. There was nothing he could do but make a plan for drought and locust prevention - after a severe drought, there will be locust plagues, and then he ran to Xiezhuang more diligently every day to guard the precious test seedlings in the field.Under normal circumstances, man cannot overcome the sky. Once a drought comes, no one can stop it. Even if Xie Shi has high-yield grain seeds in hand, it is impossible to spread beans into soldiers and grow a large amount of grain at once to feed the people all over the world.

Although the test seedlings say that far away water cannot save near fire, the drought will not only affect a period of time. Once droughts are experienced in many places, the vitality will not be relieved within a few years. Therefore, these high-yielding rice seedlings in Xie Shi's hands are actually for Prepare for the restoration of people's livelihood after the severe drought.

Xie Shi's worries were not unreasonable. At this time in Fuzhou, Han Ji's desk was full of letters and military intelligence battle reports from all over the world. Never let go.The drought in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River is three points more serious than Fuzhou, Lexian and other southern regions, and it affects a wider range. In some places, the people can't even carry out the spring sowing smoothly, and the government has done nothing. In desperation, the people in many places did not stop doing anything, and directly turned against it!

The hearts of the people are against each other, the building is falling, and it has reached such a point... This is the end of the Meng Dynasty, and the time has come...

Han Ji put down the letter and went to the window to look far away, but suddenly remembered the man in Le County.I heard that Ah Shi recently staged a new play called "Benevolence" at the Academy Lecture, satirizing the imperial court's inhumanity and supporting him. He, Han, was lucky to be helped by such "immortals" as Ah Shi , Doesn't it prove that the way of heaven helped him to overthrow this world?

It's a pity to hear that his "little fairy" has recently suffered from the problem of bitter summer, and he always runs to the farm. I don't know if it is caused by worrying about the drought. If a person who is not very healthy, if he loses weight, his body will not be able to bear it.Thinking of this, Han Ji temporarily put aside his official duties, studied ink and brushed.

So the messenger who just ran back and forth to Le County yesterday took the lord's letterhead and prepared appetizers, and headed for Le County by a familiar route...

The messenger smiled wryly: As long as the two adults (in love) are happy, don't care about my life...
