Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 63 They Are People from Xingwang Mansion
"Master, if I can memorize the text and interpretation of "The Doctrine of the Mean" tomorrow, can I go to farm?"

Qin Shao asked cautiously.

I was worried that I wish the old man would be angry again and hurt his body.

"you……"

"Are you sure you can recite it?"

I wish the old man opened his mouth wide and forgot to close it.

"University" is more than 2000 words. Fortunately, he suspects that this kid should have memorized it before, and he is a little clever.

"The Doctrine of the Mean" has more than 4000 words, nearly [-] words. If you add the explanation, then...

"Almost! I'll go back and memorize it in a while, and then I'll write it silently again. Writing silently is my shortcoming. If I can be proficient, can my master agree?"

Qin Shao replied.

After all, my current memory and comprehension skills are too superior.

The tree is big, but he dare not be too ostentatious, saying that as long as he can read it once, he can basically memorize it. It can be said that he has a photographic memory.

"If... if you can, you can go to the fields!"

Zhu Zhishan stepped back.

There are so many wonders in the world, it seems that I really met a student who is like a genius.

I don't know if it's luck or misfortune!
Fortunately, such a genius was encountered by him and accepted as a student.

Unfortunately, it was a blow to myself.

It took him less than half a month to learn those books back then before he was fully proficient at reciting the silently written texts and explanations.

This kid is so smart, he didn't take the imperial examination until he was 18 years old, what a waste of money.

……

The next day, when Qin Shao came to class again.

I memorized the book "The Doctrine of the Mean" very skillfully, and I also recited "The Great Learning" by the way.

I am also very proficient in dictation. It seems that I was contacting at home yesterday to write dictation.

Knowing that he went to the farmland again in the second half of the day yesterday, Zhu Zhishan was silent again.

"Ziming, although you are very smart, you need to know that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. And don't be complacent!"

"From now on, you recite and study a book every day, learn new ones and review old ones, and don't let it go to waste. You can go to the farmland when you are busy, and when you are done, you still need to study hard at home!"

Ziming is Zhu Zhishan's new word for Qin Shao.

Scholars these days will have characters. For example, Zhu Zhishan's original name was Zhu Yunming, and his character was Xizhe. As for Zhishan, it was just his own name.

Zhu Zhishan has already noticed that he has met an extremely smart student.

When he was a child, he was considered far and near to be a smart person. He could write a one-foot-square font at the age of five, and he could compose poetry at the age of nine.

But the memorization of memorization is far inferior to that of this young man named Qin Shao, and he has already agreed in his heart that he can read books for half a day when he is busy.

Their family is in a special situation. He is the only one who is older and still the head of the family. He still needs to farm to support the family.

"The Analects" has 11705 words, and "Mencius" has 38125 words.

"Book of Changes", "Shangshu", "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", and "Zuo Zhuan" are not small.

In order to avoid being too ostentatious, Qin Shao demonstrated his ability to memorize books in one day, except for the books with few words in the front.

He showed the other books to the old man by reciting them in two or three days.

In fact, as long as he has read the content, he will never forget it, and the interpretation will be clear very quickly.

I wish the old man is very satisfied with him and don't care about his farming in the second half of the day.

Qin Shao didn't mean that he really liked farming and insisted on running over there.

The main reason is that those farmers have not yet mastered the technology.

For example, sweet potato seedlings need a certain temperature and humidity in order to raise seedlings early.

There is no film these days, so we can only build a greenhouse with mud embryos.

The cutting length of sweet potato seedlings and how to cultivate them all require his on-site guidance.

There is also interplanting of corn, three rows of soybeans are separated by one row of corn.

He ran back and forth like a so-called expert, and in less than half a month, he became a black circle.

But there is good news, which makes Qin Shao feel that hard work these days is nothing.

That was the letter from the old man's family earlier, saying that the family members wanted to come to see the old man and sent some things over.

It was not long after the war, but now it is stable, I wish the old man wrote a letter to go home and get in touch with his family.

The person who wants to see the old man should be the old man's son.

The old man Zhu refused, saying that he wanted his son to study hard.

His son is also a Juren now, and it is time to take the examination in two years. I wish the old man would not delay his studies.

Qin Shao remembered that the old man Zhu belonged to Jiang Yin, and it was far away from Taihu Lake. If someone wants to come, can't he help bring a bag of rice seeds?
Qin Shao mentioned it to the old man Zhu.

The old man Zhu didn't know anything about breeding. Apart from reading, writing and painting, he didn't know anything about farming and housework.

Hearing that my good student wanted rice from Taihu Lake, I thought he wanted to taste it!
The taste of rice in Taihu Lake is really good. I wish the old man misses his hometown after being away from home all these years.

Just write letters to the family members, if the family members are really worried, just ask the housekeeper to come and have a look at yourself.

By the way, I asked the housekeeper to bring over two bags of unpulsed rice, and said that I wanted to have a thought.

Around mid-July, the butler of the old man's house finally came to chat.

Of course, it also brought the rice seeds that Qin Shao was looking forward to.

Two bags of rice seeds, I wish the old man wanted to keep one bag, taste the rice in his hometown, and express his homesickness.

In the end, Qin Shao was cut off!
He said that he wanted to cultivate some kind of rice, and he would pay him two bags when the harvest came.

It takes 7-10 days to cultivate rice seeds, and Qin Shao didn't dare to delay.

Regardless of his back, the old man reminded him that he still had those books to memorize.

Those books have actually been memorized these days.

When Qin Shao took a group of people to the farmland on the outskirts of the city, looking at the busy crowd, he was both grateful and sighed.

Agriculture is a tiankeng, with a lot of investment and uncertain returns.

Now he not only invests in wheat fields, seeds, and labor, but also buys a cow just to plow the land.

The cow is kept at Zhang Dazhuang's house, and he is given more food at the end of the year.

Because it is inconvenient to go out of the city and enter the city, I bought a mule to drive.

The price of horses these days is too expensive, and the slightly better ones cost 30 taels.

Cattle can plow the land, and they need 4 taels, which is indispensable.

Although the mules are tough and strong, they are too stubborn to plow the fields, but the price is cheaper, 2 taels of silver.

There is still a little open space in the backyard of my house, and I opened a back door and built a shed, which was just used to raise the mule.

After the crops come down, there are all kinds of straw, and there is no need to worry about food for the animals.

There are many people in the family, and it is not convenient to go out with a mule. In addition to buying a car for 600 yuan, it is also convenient to go out and drive.

These miscellaneous things are all kinds of small investments.

Han Jinrong's little abacus buzzed every day, reporting various expenses.

Fortunately, the sweet potatoes grew well after they were planted.

Corn and soybeans are also good for sprouting.

"I said little brother, what are you growing?"

A man dressed in white, with a high-pitched voice and a pale face came up to ask questions at some point.

Behind him was a servant and a man with a long sword.

"I'm breeding rice seeds."

Qin Shao said.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. To avoid sunburn, he wears a well-shielded bucket hat.

"It's strange."

The man was very surprised.

When they grow rice here, they sprinkle the soaked rice seeds directly in the paddy fields. They also find a place to breed them. What is the planting method?
"My lord, those two are from Xing Wangfu."

After the two stood for a while and left, Zhang Dazhuang came up and said.
