It seems that I am still too full [travel]

When Xie Shi came, it was a good time for Raozhou to cultivate and rest.It was the summer harvest, and it was also a drought year. In order not to violate the farming season and not harm the people's strength, Han Ji had not launched a large-scale campaign during this period of time. He only stationed most of the troops in Raozhou City in the northwest. Secretly dispatched many scout teams to detect the enemy's situation near Qishui, and everything else stayed put.

Perhaps out of the same consideration, the officers and soldiers and the Xu family army who had been fighting for several months in the northwest of Raozhou, that is, the land of Qishui, also temporarily fell silent. The people in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River have rarely had a chance to breathe since the beginning of spring.

Ever since Han Ji used a meal of sugar water to divert the attention of Han Ji's covetous officials, he then pushed out the important task of rice seed distribution, but he was not idle. He came to Raozhou just to visit For the family members, Han Ji was so busy that Han Ji couldn't find anyone.

In the government office where rice seeds are received in Raozhou City, a small rice planting technology training class is being taught.Different from other private schools and academies, the people sitting under the stage and teaching in this class are all "mud-legged people" who face the loess all day long, but the seriousness of listening to the class is not inferior to the serious scholars at all. The husband is so handsome, gentle as jade, not like an ordinary wife.

Maybe it's because he has been in the mountains for a long time, and Xie Shi has a habit of carrying out some educational undertakings wherever he goes.Since he bought the school field and began to cultivate agriculture in ancient times, he found that although farmers in this era had accumulated certain experience and skills in rice planting, this experience was only passed on in the countryside or among clans, and most of them only Knowing what it is, but not knowing why it is, so the development of agricultural technology is relatively primitive and backward on the whole.

Although the imperial court also set up agricultural officials, they were only those who served the royal family, let alone set up agronomy to teach farmers.However, the reason why Xie Shi's hybrid rice species can achieve such an astonishingly high yield is also closely related to his transfer of the modern set of sophisticated field management techniques of precision farming to ancient times.

Aware of this, Xie Shi early had the idea of ​​promoting scientific planting techniques in the countryside. This time in Raozhou, the training class set up in conjunction with the distribution of new rice seeds was also an attempt. He never expected it to be so successful!There are villages that are far away, even if the farmers have to walk overnight, they will spare no effort to come to listen to Xie Shi's training class.

The students of Xie Shizheng'er's Eight Classics are actually some carefully selected farmers from various townships and counties who know a little Chinese characters and are proficient in farming. The township promotes new technologies and new plows for farmers, otherwise Xie Shi alone can't do much.

For this reason, Xie Shi also compiled a set of agronomy teaching materials. In order to allow a group of ordinary farmers who have no foundation in mathematics and science or even literacy to quickly complete tasks such as field distance management and fertilization amount calculation, Xie Shi will also The Arabic numerals and ninety-nine multiplication tables have been brought out—if the calculation topics in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" are taught, I am afraid that Xie Shi will have to give these students a thorough literacy first, which is no less than training a group of students.

It was so sloppy that when Qin Sui, who was far away in Le County, later learned that this "invention" that surprised him appeared under such circumstances, and the starting point was to teach ordinary farmers the principles of mathematics, he would always be quite embarrassed. Feeling dumbfounded, he often tells this interesting story to the students in the classroom, reminding them that they should be like Xie Zi in learning, and have the spirit of bowing their heads and being willing to be a willing ox, so that this anecdote was later recorded in official history Among them, passed down to later generations.

At this time, these selected peasant households still don't know that they are facing the most important opportunity in their lives-if they study hard, they will be able to leapfrog the class and realize a huge leap from a white man to a farm official.But it does not prevent each of them from taking this rare opportunity to enter the school as very important, eager to learn the agricultural knowledge taught during the year.

In the past, Xie Shi felt that it was time-consuming and laborious for farmers to come all the way to listen to his lectures, so the class hours were always very long and the class was never suspended.After today's training session ended, Xie Shi unexpectedly left early, and after apologizing, he announced that the class would be suspended for the next two days.

These farmers all regard the words of Mr. Xie as a standard, even if Xie Shi left early, they would not have any doubts or resentment, and they all responded honestly, learning the etiquette of scholars to send off their husbands, but Xie Shi He smiled and explained, "There will be something at home tomorrow, and I hope you will forgive me."

Xie Shi bid farewell to this group of special students, and accompanied by Wang Jia, went to a workshop in the suburbs.This workshop is located at the foot of a deserted mountain in the outskirts, surrounded by sergeant guards, it is Han Ji's experimental base specially prepared for Xie Shi.At that time, Xie Shi only mentioned to him that he needed a place to conduct experiments and keep it secret, and he didn't explain what he was going to do. He only said that he would surprise him and make it mysterious.

Han Ji smiled without asking, and told him on the third day that the workshop had been prepared and dug in the mountain. Not only that, even the craftsmen had found dozens of people for him overnight.When Xie Shi came to Raozhou, apart from the training class, this workshop was the place where he stayed the most. No wonder even Han Ji couldn't see anyone.

This workshop is very weird, it makes some loud noises from time to time, sometimes the movement is so loud that it seems that even the ground is shaking. The panic is just that the people in Raozhou City mutter a few words on weekdays, it seems that Xia Lei is more frequent this month, and it always thunders without rain, which makes people happy for nothing.

When the sergeant guarding outside the workshop got off the carriage when they saw Xie Shi, they solemnly bowed and saluted him.Xie Shi bowed his head in return, and said with a smile: "Thanks for your hard work, all strong men, is there any big movement in the workshop today?"

The two sergeants on duty today looked at each other, and said with some hesitation: "My lord, there is a little more movement in the workshop than usual."

Xie Shi patted them on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It will be over soon." Leaving behind two confused soldiers, they entered the workshop in the mountain.

------------

In the early morning of the next day, in the innermost east room of the Raozhou city government office, the sunlight slipped through the shallow window lattice and into the quiet room.Last night, Han Ji subconsciously wanted to block the sunlight for the person next to him, so as not to disturb the person who had only slept for less than two hours.Yesterday Ah Shi and he returned home earlier, and the two of them hadn't been warm for many days, so the candles burned all night, and they didn't rest until the dawn.

Unexpectedly, when he stretched out his hand but found nothing, Han Ji woke up suddenly.He got up, only approved a coat, and opened the door to find someone.The servant waiting at the door was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at the master's impolite appearance. Facing the master's question, he respectfully replied: "My lord, the young master has gone to the back kitchen."

Hearing this, Han Ji went straight to the small kitchen at the back. This was arranged by him after Xie Shi came, and it was still according to Xie Shi's habit. If Xie Shi wanted to make delicious food on weekdays, he didn't have to bother to leave. Far.

When Han Ji came, Xie Shi had already whipped the cream, and was making layers of cream layer by layer. Because he was too serious, he didn't even notice when Han Ji came.Han Ji interrupted the cook and attendants who were about to salute, waved his sleeves, signaled them to go out silently, then leaned against the door frame and looked at him.

The person in front of me is only wearing a simple plain dress, the green silk is tied up with a jade hairpin, and the sleeves are rolled up with both hands, revealing a piece of arm as white as frost and snow. The sun caresses him gently. soup.He lowered his head and carefully served the pastry in his hands. There was a red mark on his snow-white neck, which was the mark left by last night. Han Ji stared at it with his deep black eyes, and suddenly there was an itchy feeling in his throat. He wanted to leave some more presumptuous traces on that snow skin.

"Give me the gauze." Xie Shi said, but no one answered him for a long time. Then he raised his head in doubt, only to realize that there was no one in the small kitchen, only a tall man holding a white rag , asked at a loss: "Is this the gauze?"

Xie Shi shook his head, and directed him naturally: "In the cabinet directly opposite you, there are baskets inside, you can just give me any one."

Han Ji did as he said, the cabinet where things were placed was very high, but Han Ji took out the gauze from the basket without lifting his hands, and handed it to Xie Shi.

Xie Shi took it, then continued with the work at hand, and asked him, "Today is my birthday, I should eat longevity noodles, how about changing it to Lengtao?" In summer, eating hot noodles is not a good meal Enjoy, or Lengtao appetizer refreshing.

Han Ji was completely stunned, "Whose... birthday?" Ah Shi's birthday will be one month later, and he thought he had misremembered the date, or Xie Ju, but if it was Ah Shi's birthday, why did he ask? How does he eat longevity noodles?Master Han, who has always been resourceful and resourceful, is a bit down at the moment.

Xie Shi's movements stopped, and when he looked up to see a certain lord who was in a daze, he burst out laughing, "Of course it's our lord Han Ji Han Xisheng's birthday!" He said as he approached him, Taking advantage of people's inattention, evil was born on the side of courage, and quickly spread the cream in his hand on the tip of his tall nose. There was a playful cream on the cold and unapproachable handsome face, but there was a different kind of cuteness in contrast. .

Han Ji subconsciously locked the person who wanted to escape after "doing evil" in his arms. Seeing him smiling and begging for mercy in his arms, recalling the wind and snow that year, his eyes suddenly became hot and he hugged the person in his arms even tighter. He lowered his head, touched those two lips that were as soft as a person in his arms, and said in a low voice, "How did Ah Shi know..."

In the year when elder brother Han Ji passed away, some relatives wanted to seize power, took him as a puppet, and took advantage of his birthday to stir up wind and rain. He was only twelve years old, but he held a butcher's knife and faced his blood relatives, so he had a cold heart.

Years later, he never celebrated his birthday, and no one else dared to mention it. He knew that it was a taboo for his master, but he didn't know that Han Ji's birthday was only because he had no close relatives in the world, and it was meaningless to him to celebrate it anyway.It's been a long time, even he himself forgot, but he didn't expect to hear it again today...
