Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 149: The art of uniting the people
"...If there is a fire in the four corners of the house, if it is in one place, the heat and cold will be uneven..."

Qian Bao was quickly attracted by the description method in the article. As the governor, he had come into contact with many people and various industries, and he also had an understanding of folk arts. When he saw it, he immediately became interested.

This article by Chen Zhi is a comprehensive method of raising silkworms from the perspective of future generations, by summarizing the previous methods and adding the concepts of later generations.

In addition to simple sealing and fire, it also involves lighting. Sealing originally conflicts with lighting, but by opening windows on all sides and covering them with paper, the contradiction is cleverly avoided. With the addition of straw curtains, the lighting can be adjusted condition.

All these are ordinary actions, but the effect produced when combined together, based on Qian Bao's experience, many prospects can be seen.

He was about to ask in detail when he lowered his head and saw that there was a stack of paper under the paper with the method of raising silkworms, each of which was written in dense regular script.

Suddenly, Gan Bao's interest was aroused. He picked up a few passes and glanced at them, secretly surprised.

"Although they are all farm techniques, they not only involve farm tools, but also have many ingenious ideas!"

Gan Bao read a few more pictures, becoming more and more surprised, and finally looked at Chen Zhi with a surprised expression, as if he was meeting him for the first time: "It turns out that Chen Jun has understood the farming skills to this extent. It's really surprising. It was before." I’m here to show you my prejudices. You’re already thinking about writing a book and talking about it. This is teaching people how to fish. In comparison, I’m just trying to do what I’m doing!”

Write a book?

Not to mention Su Jun next to him, even Chen Zhi was stunned when he heard this.

I didn't want to write a book.

These farm articles were accidentally remembered and jotted down while he was designing farm tools. In line with the idea of ​​​​deducing farm tools, the articles mentioned many design principles and ideas, because they did not involve super-era history. It was an incident, so I didn’t take any measures to keep it secret, so I wasn’t afraid of others seeing it. However, if I just talked about it in a book, it would be a bit excessive. After all, it was written casually and unsystematic.

However, Chen Zhi thought so, but in the eyes of others, it was not the same. He saw Su Jun walking over and started to look at him. Then he clicked his tongue in surprise and looked at Chen Zhi. A hint of change.

"Mr. Chen, these articles are very complicated. They cover the management of farming, the principles of breeding, and the fundamentals of the operation of several farm tools. They seem complicated, but they are actually related to farming. Are they manuscripts? I have seen them. When other people write books, they write a few pieces here and there and then slowly compile them, which takes many years. No wonder you chose this house outside the city and made many farm tools. I didn't know why before, so I'm here to keep you company."

As he said that, he laughed again: "Just show these articles to Mr. Qiao, and he will feel guilty. However, I am not telling you, Mr. Chen, if you want to write a book and establish a theory, you must first This plan is to be publicized. Look at that little immortal Ge Hong. He wrote a book in seclusion a few years ago. Who doesn't know? They all say that Baopuzi must write a Taoist treatise. This is how to raise hopes. You obviously have such a big ambition. , but he is willing to hide his mind, which will inevitably lead to misunderstanding by outsiders, and there are already rumors in the city that are not good for the young master."

Qian Bao nodded and agreed: "Yes, this is the truth. Chen Jun is just starting out to raise hopes. Since he has such talent and learning, he should be known to others. If he really wants to hide in the mountains and let down his hopes, he has to wait until he is famous in the world. "

The two of them were talking to each other, and the more they talked, the more outrageous they were.

Chen Zhi wanted to make it clear that he had no such plans, but he had already written the article and it was not easy to deny it. The two people opposite him would only think that he was being modest.

After saying a few words, Su Jun became interested. He was very excited to meet someone who could write a book about it, so he came up with an idea and said: "The best way at the moment is to spread the news, but you have to start a story first." The name is good for publicity..."

When it came to naming, he became even more excited and seemed to be quite enthusiastic about it. Before Chen Zhi could say anything, he pointed to a sentence in an article and said: "This sentence 'People are not distinguished between high and low, and farmers are not without skills' is the most suitable for the purpose. , the art of farming without distinguishing between high and low people, why not call it the art of equalizing the people?"

The art of uniting the people?

It sounded a bit familiar. Chen Zhi was about to speak when Su Jun shook his head and said: "It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. This name is a bit ordinary and it doesn't reflect some of your whimsical ideas, Mr. Chen. It's so important." You can't ignore things, well, let's just ask Qi Min Yaoshu to get it."

Qimin essential technique?

Qimin essential technique!

Hearing this name, even Chen Zhi was shocked.

These four words are not unfamiliar to Chen Zhi. This is a masterpiece of farming that will appear more than 200 years later. It summarizes many farming theories and techniques and plays a decisive role in the entire history. It can be listed on The existence of textbooks occupies a lot of space in after-school reading.

The name of such a book was suddenly related to the pieces of paper in front of him, which surprised him. Then Chen Zhi thought of the article "The Master's Theory" not long ago, and suddenly he felt something in his heart, and he made some guesses. "Mix more content to complete "Essential Art for Elevating the People"?"

Although Chen Zhi had a scroll, he could not directly copy the book learning of later generations. If he wanted to write a book, he would also have to record his accumulation on paper bit by bit. If he wanted to write a book on agriculture, In addition to the name "Essentials for Elevating the People", the content of the book still needs to be improved and added bit by bit by myself.

"However, this may be a good idea. I wrote "Shi Shuo" before. One article contains multiple unique skills, and then there is the Quyuan Plow. This agricultural tool combined with other objects can also be regarded as a unique skill. This represents two different The idea is that one contains multiple unique skills, and the other is that multiple objects represent one unique skill. If it is a book or a work, what does it represent? Is it multiple unique skills, one unique skill, or something else? possible?"

After thinking about it, Chen Zhi felt that this was something worth trying, but writing a book and explaining it was not a trivial matter. Even if he had a collection of books in his heart, accumulated them over three lifetimes, and had a fortune stick, if he wanted to write a book that could be called a masterpiece, he would still have to do it with someone. The industry’s guiding secrets are by no means easy.

"This cannot be achieved simply by relying on daydreams and experiments. It requires down-to-earth hard work and in-depth research. Even so, it cannot be completed in a short time. The little immortal Ge Hong wrote in later generations This is a huge work on Taoism, and its reputation has been passed down through the ages, but he has been in seclusion for many years and has not succeeded in writing a book, which shows."

Not only Chen Zhi understood this truth, but Qian Bao and Su Jun also understood it. After the initial surprise and excitement, the two of them calmed down.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost brewing, Gan Bao expressed his intention: "Chen Jun, you must have guessed our purpose. I am here to represent the governor and invite you to go to the south. The governor appreciates your talent very much and is willing to reuse him." As for you, I believe you also know his background, he is a descendant of the Zhang family in Jiangdong."

Su Jun then said: "My governor appreciates you from the bottom of my heart. When he came, he reminded me again and again, saying that he should treat you with courtesy. Of course, Mr. Qiao has a different status after all, and the governor is not too good. Over restraint.”

Seeing the sincere expressions of the two people, Chen Zhi had a slight thought.

If I could get help from the governor, wouldn't it be easier for me to act on my own given the state's background?
Thinking of this, he was not polite and asked directly: "Chen doesn't have any local skills now. If he goes south, what can he do? Can he get a job like patrolling around?" After all, he didn't want to be restricted too much. Hence the question.

But Gan Bao and the others were in trouble. They knew Zhang Chu's plan. If Chen Zhi went south, he would not be able to get any real power positions, and he would probably not be able to do the errands of collecting and patrolling. The main job was to write articles.

Su Jun could only bite the bullet and said: "Well...because you don't have any local qualifications, you probably won't get an official position right away. However, you are valued by the governor. With your ability, you will be reused. If you make a request when the time comes, the governor won't do it." reject."

When Chen Zhi heard this, he roughly understood it and said with a smile: "So that's it. I'd better think about it. My family has also given away the products. It's better to wait for the local products to arrive before making a decision."

"That's... that's fine!" Su Jun wanted to say more, but after thinking about it, he could only accept it. Logically speaking, after seeing a lot today, no matter what the conditions, he should try to invite Chen Zhi to the south, but he I went to the south and found that my majors were not suitable and my wishes could not be realized. Who would be responsible then?

After all, Su Jun and Su Jun already know that Chen Zhi is not only good at writing about metaphysics, but also loves pragmatic agriculture. Such a person will not be willing to be a personal cultural mascot.

Simply, Qian Bao and Su Jun stopped mentioning this. Once the information was reported to Zhang Chu, the governor would make the decision himself.

Without the purpose, the conversation that followed became much more relaxed. The three of them talked and got closer. After lunch, Mr. Qiao recovered and Gan Bao was about to leave.

Chen Zhi personally put the three of them into the carriage, said goodbye, and then returned. But when he was about to step into the house, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look in one direction.

At the end of his line of sight, two rather muscular figures were walking together through the fields. They seemed to be just ordinary farmers.

However, Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes when he saw the two people's posture and steps.

"Master, what's wrong?" Chen Jue, who was accompanying him, saw this and asked quickly.

"Find someone to ask those two people about their origins. They don't look like farmers. If I remember correctly, this land belongs to Zhang Gen's family. There are seven people in his family, four sons and two In the prime of life, but not like this, could anyone be so kind as to help others plow the land? Moreover, when I came back from Chenhou Temple yesterday, I saw these two people, and they were walking on the field of Zhang Mi's house."

Chen Jue was secretly surprised by Chen Zhi's memory, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but become wary.

"Master, are you saying there is something wrong with these two people?"
