Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 377 The heaven and earth changed and the four seasons came into being (2)

Seeing Xiong Er's attitude change so quickly, Song Daqiang hesitated for a moment. He looked at Xiong Er up and down, then turned to look at Liu Ding aside: "What do you call this young master?"

"Liu Ding." Liu Ding was a little nervous at the moment and asked hurriedly: "You just said that someone didn't write down his name and place of origin? Is this true?"

"Hey," Song Daqiang narrowed his eyes, rolled his dark pupils, weighed the ingot of silver in his hand, and suddenly grinned: "I see that this brother has a good reputation today, so I won't charge you any money, so I can make a friend."

After saying that, he directly threw the silver in his hand back to Xiong Er.

"Eh?" Xiong Er was confused for a moment when he saw this: "What's wrong with you? You suddenly don't want money? Does that still count? The red list."

"The first one, Anonymous, the words at the beginning are about the effect of increasing crop yields," Song Daqiang looked at Xiong Er, and then turned his eyes to Liu Ding aside: "The chief minister personally appointed him and gave him the word: Le Cheng!"

"Gecheng?" Xiong Er was stunned for a moment, then looked at Liu Ding: "Who is Gecheng?"

His body swayed slightly, and Liu Ding felt that he must be dreaming.

This article was written by myself!

Talk about the effect of increasing crop yield! ! !

It’s my own paper!

Have you been given a word? ! !

"I have been given a calligraphy!" Liu Ding was so ecstatic that he grabbed Xiong Er's shoulders and shook him violently: "Liu Ding, the calligraphy has been completed!!!"

"Brother! Hahaha, I knew it," Xiong Er, who had just reacted, was also overjoyed, hugging Liu Ding and laughing together.

The laughter of the two people immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding scholars.

"He said he was Ge Cheng?"

"The first one on the list?"

"anonymous?"

In an instant, everyone in the Meridian Gate Square rushed towards Liu Ding.

Top pick in the first session of the Science Society!

The Duke of Qi appointed him and gave him his name in person!

The future is absolutely limitless!

"Young master, have you ever been married? I have a daughter who has not left the court. She is well-educated, gentle and virtuous! She will be a good match!"

"My family has ten thousand acres of fertile land, which can be used as a dowry. Sir, would you please consider it?"

"Sir, my master invites you!"

"After the Duke of my family, my family will be extremely wealthy. In the future, I can help my son enter the official career. I would like to consider the daughter of the Duke!"

For a moment, Liu Ding was tightly surrounded by the crowd. Thanks to Xiong Er's strong body, he protected Liu Ding in his arms. Otherwise, with his weak body, he would have been torn into pieces by this group of people.

"Two brothers, this is not the place to talk." Song Daqiang had just seen the clue from Liu Ding's anxious expression. He returned the money just as a favor. Now it was confirmed that Liu Ding was the No. 1 scholar. Naturally Not wanting to lose this future thigh, he immediately arched his body and shouted: "Come with me quickly!"

"Let's go!!! Lead the way." Xiong Er nodded, followed Song Daqiang while protecting Liu Ding, climbed out of the crowd with difficulty, and then fled in embarrassment.

Not long after, in an alley far away from the main road, Liu Ding and the other two people were in shock after escaping from a large number of chasing people.

"Oh my god, these people are so crazy," Xiong Er leaned against the wall with lingering fear: "If I had run any slower just now, Brother Ding would have been kidnapped by those people in broad daylight. I'm afraid it will happen tomorrow. Go directly to the church to get married!"

"This, this, this" Liu Ding swallowed. He didn't want to get married now. Why would he have a family before he achieved fame?

"Brother Liu is now a popular figure in front of the Duke of the Kingdom. No matter how many people try to curry favor with him, it's too late." Song Daqiang chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "I've been sorry to you two brothers for the past few days, please forgive me."

"It's a trivial matter. If we don't fight, we won't get to know each other," Xiong Er also grinned, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a huge shadow appear behind him.

That murderous aura made the three of them stiff.

Da da da.

Along with the sound of footsteps, the impact of fine steel armor came.

Song Daqiang was trembling all over. He had already seen who it was: the Imperial City Division, a man in armor.

Duke Guo of Qi selected the best soldiers from Liaodong to form the Imperial City Division, responsible for the defense of the entire imperial city and even the entire city of Beijing.

Because each of them is wearing fine armor and has a long sword hanging on his waist.

People in Beijing call them: armored men.

"Mr. Liu, the Duke of Qi has invited us, please come with us," the leading man in armor said with a long sword on his waist and his tone was emotionless.

Liu Ding didn't know why he came to Wenyuan Pavilion. The whole person was in a daze, as if he had not accepted the change of identity for a while, or he was afraid of the person he was about to meet. Liu Ding dared to vouch for it, even if it was the biggest official he had ever seen before. , even the magistrate of Peixian County must be more at a loss and sweating profusely than himself when seeing Wang Qi.

After entering the Donghua Gate, the armored man stopped, and another waiter took Liu Ding to where the chief lord was.

Wang Qi's government office was located close to the inside of the parliament hall, and Liu Ding was led around several corners before arriving. The layout and decoration are far from as splendid as the legends, and they are not like the armored elite guards with guns as rumored by the outside world. They have an open sentry every three steps and a hidden sentry every five steps. It is just like an ordinary house, but in the middle. The courtyard is more spacious, with a large number of pines, cypresses and bamboos planted. In the middle is a pool of spring water. If there is anything special about it, it is that there are three birds and a black goose in the pool. , a white duck, and a partridge.

In addition, while Liu Ding was standing at the door waiting for the waiter to announce, he also caught a glimpse of a big orange cat, lying sideways and lazily at the junction of sunlight and shadow in the corridor, sleeping soundly.

"Mr. Liu, please come in." Not long after, the waiter came out of the room and made an invitation gesture to Liu Ding.

"Thank you," Liu Ding nodded and thanked, then walked slowly to the door, took a deep breath before entering, and then stepped in.

What you see is a small study room. Except for the side by the window, the bookshelves on the three walls are full of books. In addition, the chairs and the side near the tables and chairs are also piled with open books. .

At a glance, there are collections of classics and history, geographical maps, essentials of military art, agriculture, agriculture and water conservancy.

Wang Qi sat by the window facing south.

"Mr. Liu, please don't be offended if you invite me here rashly," Wang Qi said as he stood up and walked to the living room on the other side of the room: "Don't be restrained, please sit down."

After saying this, Wang Qi sat down on the chair and looked at Liu Ding with a smile.

A waiter came forward and brought new tea to the two of them.

The first impression I had when I saw Wang Qi was not that he was powerful, nor that he was standing tall, nor that he had such a warm attitude.

Although Wang Qi's reputation among the people has always been very good.

But too young!

According to folk rumors, the Duke of Qi is in his twenties and has just reached the age of crown.

Liu Ding stared at Wang Qi blankly, making no move for a while, and even forgot about the courtesy.

"There is no name or place of birth written on the scroll, maybe because I like to wander around the world, right?" Wang Qi sat there and told a cold joke.

"Please forgive me, Sir!" After being awakened by Wang Qi, Liu Ding hurriedly lowered his head and bowed: "Student Liu Ding, I have met Sir!"

"Sit," Wang Qi motioned Liu Ding to sit down with his eyes, and continued: "I read the article you wrote, and it's really good."

With half of his butt in the air, Liu Ding sat upright. Facing Wang Qi's praise, he said without hesitation: "Students are not very talented and have little knowledge. Without the guidance of the chief, the students will be afraid."

"No need to talk about the situation," Wang Qi started to stop him: "I'm here to ask you a few questions."

"My lord, just ask, the students will tell you everything they know!"

Oh my god, anyone who sees Wang Qi will probably feel anxious and uneasy. How can he have a stable attitude to answer questions?

The frightened Liu Ding tried his best to suppress his nervousness.

"Can you tell me how you changed the local temperature to cultivate sweet potatoes and corn?" Wang Qi got straight to the point and asked about the doubts he had while reviewing.

"I tried it when I was a student in my hometown. In the backyard of my home, there is about eight feet square of land in the house." When talking about the field he is good at, Liu Ding's words became a little more fluent. After thinking for a while, he replied: "Farming in autumn, wood Make a frame beam, cover it with weeds and linen, apply fertilizer to loosen the soil, and harvest it in two months, and hide it in cotton and linen straw, so that it can be preserved and eaten in winter."

"If we want to promote large-scale planting, there is no possibility of implementing this method of covering beams with cotton." Wang Qi shook his head: "I raised an objection."

"In terms of cost, maintaining a certain temperature can increase the temperature of the land and surroundings by removing weeds and burning straw. In addition, we can dredge the soil and fertilize multiple times to speed up the growth of sweet potatoes. In addition, breeding and cultivation are more Excellent and high-quality seedlings are also a way." Liu Ding has studied seedling planting for more than ten years and could write hundreds of thousands of words on his experience. Therefore, facing Wang Qi's doubts, he immediately gave several solutions.

"Cultivation of seedlings of excellent varieties?" Wang Qi's eyes flashed. In this era, some people have begun to have the awareness of selective breeding of seedlings?

"In Wen'an County, a few years ago, some experienced farmers discovered that some seedlings produced better seeds than others. After the seeds were sown and cultivated again, the survival rate and seed production were higher than those of ordinary seedlings. I did the same The inspiration I got from it.”

Looking at Liu Ding in front of him, Wang Qi felt that his luck was really good!

"We don't have much time. I can give you up to three years to select and cultivate a large number of new seedlings, and not only sweet potatoes, but also other crops. We must develop them together. We will use people, money, and materials. I can give it to you. I need to see something in three years." Wang Qi looked at Liu Ding: "Of course, you need to report the specific progress to Congressman Xu every once in a while and someone will take you to see him. "

After chatting with Liu Ding for about half an hour, Wang Qi got up and saw off the guests.

"You are the first number one scholar in the society. You should encourage yourself and be an example for students all over the world!" Before leaving, Wang Qi gave Liu Ding a message: "You should encourage yourself and work diligently on the fields. When the melons are ripe and the stems fall, the heaven and the earth will be transformed." The revolution is completed in four seasons!."

"Students must remember the teachings of adults when they become adults!"

Liu Ding stood at the threshold and bowed deeply to Wang Qi.
