I was engaged in development in the Qin Dynasty

It was okay for Zhao Zheng to come to Zhuangzi for a short stay of two days, but it was naturally inappropriate to live here for a long time, and it did not meet his expectations. Therefore, Zhao Zheng went back the next day. After returning, he took Fusu His teacher was sent to Zhuangzi, Fusu was still young, and it was okay to take a few days off without going to school, but if it went on for a long time, it would be wrong.

As for letting Fusu go back to the palace to study, Zhao Zheng was not happy either. In his opinion, Liu Ze was a capable god. It was rare for Fusu to fall into Liu Ze's eyes. He hoped that the relationship between Fusu and Liu Ze would be better. With such a god helping Qin, there would be no need to worry about major events. Therefore, for various reasons, Zhao Zheng felt that Fusu should learn from Zhuangzi. better.

Liu Ze didn't know what Zhao Zheng was thinking. After all, he was still a student who hadn't entered the society. Even during the two years when he was suspended from school, 999 protected Liu Ze very well. The only time he was beaten by the society was because the dean's mother was sick and hospitalized. , and he didn't have enough money, when 999 appeared to help solve it, Liu Ze's problem was also solved, so he didn't know much about politics and people's hearts. For Liu Ze, with Fusu accompanying him, He did feel a lot easier.

Fusu went to class with the teacher, and Liu Ze also followed the class. Listening to the teacher's lecture, Liu Ze understood that in later generations, the Confucianism, which was canonized as a sacred scripture, did not please the princes. During the Warring States Period, most They all use the law to rule the country, because the Warring States period was a period of frequent wars, and only the legalist system can better govern the people. The most famous ones are Shang Yang's Reform in Qin State, Wu Qi Reform in Chu State, and Li Kui in Wei State. political reform.

However, the princes ruled the country with the law, but Confucianism has also become the mainstream. In the eyes of the princes, Confucianism cannot manage the food and drink of the people. "Benevolence" and "propriety" are really useless in the Warring States period. However, during the Warring States period, the princes liked to recruit talents, saying that I can accommodate Confucianism, and naturally I can accommodate other scholars. Another point is that Confucianism especially likes to recruit disciples. The number of people is very large, and quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes. Yes, the eternal truth.

Studying with Fusu, Liu Ze always felt that his three views were collapsing and rebuilding, rebuilding and collapsing again and again.

Time passed quickly, and it was March again. It was already late autumn, and the temperature difference between day and night was extremely large. You had to wear thick clothes in the morning and evening. At this time, the sweet potatoes could also be harvested. Zhao Zheng came to see Zhuangzi in person. The man harvested sweet potatoes, but he did not take the minister with him as he said before.

Because they miscalculated the plantable area of ​​sweet potatoes before. The sweet potatoes harvested before were only about [-] catties. If all the sweet potatoes are raised at this point, it is only enough to plant half an acre of land. Even if the yield is high, it is not enough to blind others. In Zhao Zheng's view, it is necessary to do the best, so that everyone who has seen it will be hit hard in the heart, so he decided to wait for the last season, anyway, he also endured it After so many years, I don't mind waiting for a while longer.

Liu Ze didn't care about Zhao Zheng's decision. Anyway, he didn't understand it. Although the sweet potatoes were only planted for half an acre this time, the harvest was not bad, weighing more than two thousand catties. There should be more than three thousand catties.

The ancient scale is different from the modern scale. Only 16 taels is a catty, while in the modern scale, [-] taels is a catty. For example, the most famous half catty is eight taels. In ancient times, half catty weighed the same as eight taels.

"The amount was small before, so I couldn't see it. I didn't expect it to be underestimated." Looking at the harvested sweet potatoes, Zhao Zheng was particularly shocked and excited. There are more than 40 stones in half an acre of land. How many people can this feed?

"The yield of spring seeds should be higher." The yield of this kind of sweet potato is actually low. In fact, there are more high-yield sweet potatoes in modern times, which can achieve a yield of over 16 per mu. The average yield of sweet potatoes is five or six per mu. About a thousand catties, this half acre of land, he saw with his own eyes that the farmers on the farm took care of it, and the care was so careful, plus the name here is [-] taels for a catty, fortunately, when he reported it before, It was reported to the lesser, and there was no slap in the face.

"The yield of spring seeds is higher?" Zhao Zheng was surprised.

Liu Ze nodded, "It's a few hundred catties more, yield per mu."

The farmers on the side were also overjoyed when they saw the output, and what made them happy was still behind. Zhao Zhengfa rewarded the farmer and the farmers for taking good care of the sweet potatoes, and asked them to continue to serve the sweet potatoes with all their heart.

For dinner in the evening, each person in the farmer got a roasted sweet potato. The aroma of the roasted sweet potato is particularly domineering. It is an exaggeration to say that the aroma is ten miles away. However, after eating the sweet potato, the stench is ten miles away. ah.

Each household only shared one sweet potato, but there was no limit for Fusu and Zhao Zheng. Liu Ze used sweet potatoes to make a table of eighteen sweet potatoes for Zhao Zheng and Fusu to eat, needless to say steamed sweet potatoes and roasted sweet potatoes , There are also shredded sweet potatoes, sweet potato cakes, pan-fried sweet potatoes, etc. Fusu and Zhao Zheng only hate why they don't have two stomachs.

Sweet potatoes have a lot of starch and are easy to get full, so the three of them didn't eat much of the sweet potatoes on the table. In the end, Zhao Zheng gave the leftovers to the waiters, and Liu Ze was naturally embarrassed to let others eat his own leftovers Yes, but seeing the ecstatic expressions of those waiters, Yanagisawa swallowed his words back.

When Zhao Zheng went back, he left with Fusu and a hundred catties of sweet potatoes. Zhao Zheng asked Liu Ze to teach farmers to store the remaining sweet potatoes and plant them in the spring of next year.

It is quite easy to store sweet potatoes. Xianyang belongs to Shaanxi Province in modern times. It has a variety of landforms such as plateaus, basins, and plains. , not particularly many, but Liu Ze still asked them to dig two wells and cellars. The cellars need to be ventilated, and too many piles will lead to overheating and easy to rot.

Fusu followed Zhao Zheng back to the palace to live for three days, and then returned to Zhuangzi to continue his studies. As for Liu Ze, he couldn't bear it anymore because the weather was getting colder.

Cotton hadn't been introduced to the Heaven & Dynasty at this time, and fur was used to keep out the cold. However, because they all use fur, the people here are still very good at tanning fur, and some fur is no less than modern handicrafts. up.

Although there is fur to keep out the cold, Liu Ze still feels cold, and there is no greenhouse effect now. In winter, it is very cold, especially when he sleeps at night, he takes out his hot water bottle. Of course, This kind of hot water bottle is not for charging but for filling hot water. However, Liu Ze still felt his back was chilly. Later, Liu Ze thought of a way, which was to take out his down jacket, spread it on the bed, and then On top of the down jacket, there was another layer of thick fur, which made him feel better.

"My lord is so protected from the cold, what should I do when it gets colder?" The waiter was a little worried.

"Is there a colder time?" Liu Ze was desperate.
