Seven years of Yuan Xi.In the agricultural college where Shang Jingyi is studied, there is good news.Although many years ago, the fertilizer researched by the queen mother has greatly improved the soil quality of Dayong's farmland, and the grain yield has also increased significantly.But if you want to increase the yield even more, it's not just a matter of improving soil quality.Look for the cause from the crops planted in the field.Many of the students in the College of Agriculture who choose to stay in the Institute of Agronomy are specialized in researching how to make crops stronger, more resistant to pests and diseases, more adaptable to various soil qualities, and even drought and waterlogging resistance.And these studies of theirs have also received strong support from Yixue, or the queen's mother.Human, material, and financial resources, as long as they are needed, are all available.Hard work pays off.After more than a year of painstaking research, a research group specializing in wheat at the Institute of Agronomy finally developed a more robust and better yield wheat variety, a new variety of wheat grown in the experimental field of the Institute of Agronomy, with a yield of 500 catties.You must know that in previous years, the highest yield per mu of wheat planted in the high-quality fields was only 300 catties, the medium fields were a little more than 200 catties, and the inferior fields were only more than 100 catties.The people toiled hard for a year, and the harvest was only enough to fill their stomachs.The wheat and the research report were sent to the palace, and after being confirmed by the Agricultural Administration with the Great Si Nong, His Majesty's decree and reward came down the next day.In addition to the house money, the most eye-catching thing is the false title of Tian Chengguan.Although it is only a false title, this is the first reward since His Majesty ascended the throne today.With the title of Tian Chengguan, they can not only receive the Yulu issued by the imperial court every year, but also can see officials below the third grade not kneel.It can be said that Tian Chengguan's status is no worse than that of Dayongjuren.For a time, the enthusiasm of other research groups increased exponentially.Wei Xi's reward is a little different.The rewards of the house's property and status were all given by His Majesty to take the lead, and Wei Xi's reward was a stone scroll.On the third floor of each Yixue Library in Dayong, there is a special room.The scrolls in this room are all carved in solid mountain stone, and only the outstanding contributions made by the scholars are engraved.The first volume is engraved with the founder of Da Yongyixue, Empress Wei.The second volume is engraved with Emperor Yuanxi, who tried his best to promote the establishment of the Great Yongyi School.The third volume is engraved with the first principal and vice principal of Dayongyi School, Wen Jiuming and Chang Yuening, who personally founded Dayongyi School.And this fourth volume is engraved with the names of the people in the group who studied the yield of 500 catties of wheat per mu and their contributions.In their hearts, this honor is even heavier and more dazzling than Tian Chengguan's title.Because Tian Chengguan is just his title, everything will disappear after death.However, as long as Yixue still exists for a day, then even after their death, people can still see their names and achievements on the stone scroll when they turn to this stone scroll.The stone scroll is immortal, and the achievement is immortal.The righteous scholars were first stimulated by His Majesty's reward, and when they saw the queen's reward, they were directly stimulated!
So he waited until the eighth year of Yuanxi.The Agricultural College appeared with a yield of 800 catties of rice per mu, and the students from the College of Engineering built the first bridge across the Heng River, which was 10 kilometers long and 20 zhang wide.The Hengjiang River is all over Dayong, but the mainstream is to almost cut the north and south boundaries of Dayong, so that there will be Jiangnan and Jiangbei.Throughout the ages, because the main stream of the Ganges River is too wide, the two sides of the river have always been crossed by boats, and no one has ever dared to think of building a bridge on the main stream of the Ganges River.Now it's happening.The appearance of the bridge has greatly promoted the communication between the south and the north of the Yangtze River, and in just a few months, both sides of the bridge have converged into two prosperous riverside towns.You can see its effect.Since the ninth year of Yuanxi, Yixue has no longer beckoned Yixue students for free.Just because the people live and work in peace and contentment, as long as the grain in the fields is diligent enough, the harvest of the year will be reduced from the food to the family and only half of the tax, and the rest will be sold enough for the family to have a surplus for a year.Because of the prosperity of industry and commerce in the city, there are enough jobs for everyone who has no land to find their own job.If you read and write, or have a craft, you can easily support yourself and even your family.In this way, there are no children who can't afford to go to school.But even if it costs money to go to school, parents are happy to send their children in.It's just because over the years that they have seen clearly that there is still a world of difference between literacy and illiteracy.If you are illiterate, even if you have enough wages, you can only do manual work and be managed.Literate and paid, needless to say, do brain-only work, and manage others.With such a comparison, why bother with the little silver that was painted in the school.When the child comes out of the school, will he easily earn the money back?
Of course, the assessment of the school is more stringent.Those who indulge in leisure and hard work, even if they carry a large amount of silver, do not want it.Although it costs money to enter the academy, there are still some exceptions for a small number of people.As the people are getting better and better, some abandonment of children has rarely occurred, so the number of children in the nursery is getting fewer and fewer every year.Nursery children have two options once they are enrolled.One is to sign a loan agreement, and they can enroll for free until they leave the school, and then the cost of the school can be paid off in one or one lump sum over the six years after they leave the school.One is to sign an agreement with the major shops and merchants that Yixue cooperates with, and these shops will pay the entrance fee, and after they leave the school, they will enter these shops and businesses to work for them until they pay off the money they have paid.The first option is more free, and the second is a two-way choice, which is more secure.But it's up to the children to choose for themselves.It took nearly ten years for Su Sheng to see that Yixue no longer asked him to draw silver from it every year, but to earn silver from the treasury.However, looking at the already abundant treasury, the silver earned from Yixue is nothing.But it didn't prevent him from admiring the queen so much.He only knew that he had only known that what he had taken from the people had done to the people, but he had never thought that he could use it for the people and take it from the people in such a way as the opposite.A lot of age, it can be regarded as a long experience.It's night.Emperor Dayong's capital Shangjing has lifted its curfew.When approaching, Xuanwu Street is still brightly lit, the shouting and cheering are continuous, and the crowd is surging like flowing water.Zong Xu held a packet of sugar-fried chestnuts in his hand, peeled them as he walked, and stuffed one into Wei Xi's mouth next to him from time to time.Wei Xi held a cup of sour plum soup he had just bought from the street, and took a sip of a chestnut, which was delicious.It was the emperor and queen couple who secretly ran out to experience the nightlife at night.
