Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 133 Can't get the chapter name

prestige? !
It's just such a simple word, isn't saying it the same as not saying it?Xue Lang looked at Her Highness the Princess speechlessly, and said tactfully: "Your Highness, when pointing out stupid people like this subordinate, please tell me more in detail, would you please?"

Her Royal Highness couldn't help smiling, as if she admired Xue Lang's self-deprecating spirit, and said with a smile: "On the day Ye Qing first entered the camp, he set a reward of one hundred gold to compete with the generals in bow and mao skills, and all the generals were defeated. Ye Qing was victorious, and publicly announced that he would use the reward money to buy sheep to slaughter and cook, and share it with the soldiers."

I can't see how clever this kid is!
Xue Lang expressed his admiration.Her Royal Highness seemed to see Xue Lang's admiration, and slowly added: "The reward of one hundred gold is the money that Ye Qing borrowed from me. I am very pleased with his method, which forgives his debt, Ye Qing I am very grateful."

Shouldn't you be grateful?
Xue Lang thought that Ye Qing and his little fiancee should not be financially well off, otherwise his little fiancee wouldn't have caught and sold fish and shrimp when the farm bought them.

Moreover, after Ye Qing's actions, the prestige has been obtained, and it is not easy to hope!As long as it takes time and Ye Qing's intelligence, they will naturally be able to work together as one.

Regarding what Ye Qing and Princess Pingyang did, Xue Lang just wanted to say that the old driver had a lot of routines, and a newcomer like him couldn't learn it.However, there are some experiences that can be learned. It is impossible to learn by convincing people with force, but it is still feasible to work hard to convince people with knowledge.Feeling that he had learned a trick, Xue Lang cupped his fists to express his gratitude to Her Royal Highness: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your guidance."

Her Royal Highness waved her hands, not paying attention, and suddenly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, is the sweet potato feast that Youyang promised ready? I am really looking forward to it with Youyang's delicate food."

Xue Lang said with a smile: "Your Highness, please keep looking forward to it. You can enjoy it tomorrow, and you will definitely not disappoint Your Highness."

Princess Pingyang smiled and said: "Wait for Youyang."

Speaking of sweet potatoes, Xue Lang said: "Speaking of which, potatoes can almost be dug up. If they are planted in the garden, they will be fertile enough, and the harvest should be quite gratifying. Also, cotton... is what His Highness is used to saying. Topped."

Princess Pingyang asked curiously: "What is topping?"

Xue Lang replied: "It is to cut off some weak branches and leaf tips on the cotton plant, so that all the nutrients that the cotton absorbs from the soil can be concentrated on the good bolls, so that the yield and quality of these good bolls are higher. , better. This is the practical experience summed up by the cotton growers of the florist at that time, which is good for the increase and stability of cotton production."

Princess Pingyang said: "It turns out that there is such knowledge in it. I don't know when my Tang Dynasty will be able to be like a flower grower. Every knowledge has a professor and a person who studies it."

Xue Lang said: "Take your time, eventually there will be."

Princess Pingyang nodded, both of them knew that this was not something that could be accomplished overnight.Speaking of agriculture, Xue Lang suddenly thought of "Qi Min Yao Shu". This book is regarded as the most complete agricultural book in ancient Chinese history. technical knowledge.

In addition, the author of this book is also a wonderful person. He actually laughed at Confucius, the sage, who "does not work hard and does not distinguish the five grains". The main purpose of "Qimin Yaoshu" is "Food politics is the first, and it must be in the comfort of the people, teach them when they are rich, and use them to be festivals."This book advocates pragmatism, to what extent is it practical?It is about the cultivation of flowers and plants, the construction of gardens and other things that originally belonged to agriculture. There is not a word.

This book has been highly valued in all dynasties. Ancient China has always been a farming civilization. The official printed book published in the Song Dynasty has the saying that "people who are not in the imperial court cannot obtain it", which is called "benefiting the people's government, training The foundation of the Nongyu country".

This book is detailed and specific, covering a wide range, and it is a model for all agricultural book writers in later generations.In ancient times, it was very practical and worthy of promotion.

Therefore, Xue Lang asked: "Dare to ask Your Highness, is there a collection of agricultural books in the mansion?"

"Nongshu? Why does Youyang want this?"

Princess Pingyang asked.Xue Lang said: "Someone once said that war is logistics. In terms of logistics, it is just food, clothing, housing and transportation. Housing and transportation can be simple, but clothing and food can't be simple. If it is simple, you will not be full and have no clothes. What's more, it is the logistics of war? It's more important. The farming methods I know are what I learned from florists, and I also want to read the writings of the past dynasties to learn from each other's strengths."

"Great!"

Princess Pingyang praised her and said, "I know why Youyang is so knowledgeable."

Reading an agricultural book and studying it can also lead to erudition?
Xue Lang looked at Princess Pingyang inexplicably.Princess Pingyang said: "It is precisely the essence of Youyang's modesty and eagerness to learn, and his diligence in studying, that's why he has today's erudition and versatility."

Xue Lang was embarrassed by the praise: "His Royal Highness praises me, but my subordinates just know that they are not talented enough. The so-called stupid bird flies first, and it is always good to learn more knowledge."

Princess Pingyang said: "I should learn more from Youyang."

Xue Lang cupped his hands, not knowing how to reply.

Speaking of agricultural books, Princess Pingyang said: "Nongshu has been valued by all dynasties, and there are many collections, and I am no exception. There are "Book of Fansheng" and "Qimin Yaoshu". Someone bring it."

Xue Lang was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

In other words, "Book of Si Sheng" has been lost in modern times. When I go to Chang'an in the future, I need to collect a lot of things that have been lost in later generations, and then store them up.Especially practical books such as "Qi Min Yao Shu", even if the family declines in the future, the descendants can learn some practical techniques from the books, so as not to starve to death.

Xue Lang felt that he had considered far enough, and it really was because he was seen by middle-aged people in the Tang Dynasty, right?so drunk!
Holding the "Book of Si Sheng" and "Qi Min Yao Shu" brought by Her Royal Highness the Princess, I went back to the Tingfeng Courtyard. As soon as I entered the gate of the courtyard, five puppies who were chubby into meat balls greeted me. Angrily "barking" begging to be touched and hugged.

Xue Lang handed the book to Changjian, and knelt down to pet and hug the puppies one by one.Holding the two puppies, before letting go, suddenly there was a whimpering sound at his feet, which seemed to have infinite grievances.

Xue Lang looked down and saw that it was soy milk.Xue Lang was about to touch it, when Wanfu said with a strange expression: "By the way, the soybean milk is in heat!"

Xue Lang looked down at the soymilk, but saw no blood, then looked at Wanfu's strange expression, put down the puppy, squatted down, hugged the wronged soymilk, and asked Wanfu in a low voice: "What? What's going on inside?"

Wanfu also imitated Xue Lang and squatted down, and said in a low voice: "This morning, the soy milk and fried dough sticks have not been out of the kennel. The little one went to check and found that the soy milk was in heat, and the fried dough sticks..."

Wanfu didn't continue talking, Xue Lang understood it in seconds!However, the fritters are so domineering, you can't usually see it at all!However, I thought soy milk was very gentle and quiet, but it turned out to be arrogant.Xue Lang believes that with soy milk's ability, if it is not willing, the fried dough sticks will not succeed, so, the previous disgust and fights were actually flirting?
Xue Lang felt like "I just found out the truth today, so you are such dogs".It turns out that the dog's world is not simple, steamed buns, steamed buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks, these two couples can simply write a short story about the dog's blood surpassing the mother.

There is a painful feeling that the door to a new world has been opened, and I can no longer look directly at the dogs.Xue Lang actually wanted to push the soy milk away, but now seeing its aggrieved appearance, it feels unnecessarily complicated.
