Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Gu Jingyun took the children to eat and go to class, from wheat to rice, from their growth environment to yield, and then to processing technology and food that can be made. After talking about these, their delicacies were half gone.

Then everyone was thirsty, and everyone took out the teapot from the book basket to pour water to drink. The little fat man asked tangledly: "Sir, do you still want to talk to us about tea? I didn't drink tea today. I did." It's Baishui."

Gu Jingyun glanced at him and said: "Don't talk about tea, let's eat your snacks, let's enjoy the scenery after filling our stomachs."

Gu Jingyun raised his head and looked into the distance, with a smile on his lips, he said, "From here you can see the entire academy and the entire North City, come and tell me how many places you can recognize from here?"

The children immediately turned their heads and looked down, and found many places they felt familiar with, and immediately exclaimed: "Isn't there the Zhuangyuan Building? I saw the Zhuangyuan Building. Last month, my elder brother took me to the Zhuangyuan Building to eat." After dinner, the mandarin fish inside is delicious."

"I know that mountain. It's Qingfeng where the Huguo Temple is located. I didn't expect it to look like this from the mountain. It looks so small..."

"Is that Deshengmen? It doesn't look like it at all. My mother and I went there to play during the Lantern Festival this year..."

The young disciples found that the scenery seen from the mountain was very different from what they usually saw, and it was extremely novel.

Gu Jingyun allowed them to discuss, but they were not allowed to approach the side of the mountain, and there were schoolmen sent by the school to watch.

Li Baolu had been kneeling silently behind Gu Jingyun, and now she couldn't help asking: "How did you teach them "The Analects of Confucius"?"

"Like my uncle, the children are very smart and don't need me to guide them all the time," Gu Jingyun smiled at her. "As long as they are interested in listening to what I teach instead of falling asleep, then they will be considered as having learned it."

"I want to witness the growth of a good teacher?"

"All the teachers are proud to have taught an outstanding emperor, because the emperor rules the people, and his ruling ideas may come from his teachers. This is the same as planning a country by yourself, which is very fulfilling."

"Including you?"

Gu Jingyun nodded, "This is a very exciting thing, but the emperor is often involuntary, so I think he alone may not be able to do many things. He needs someone who shares his ideals and ideals. ministers and executors."

Gu Jingyun looked at his disciples who were lively and active like stubborn monkeys, "They are all the hope of the country. Only by learning etiquette can you know honor and disgrace, and only after you can learn etiquette can you learn etiquette. Let all children in Dachu be able to read and write..."

Gu Jingyun shook his head and smiled, as if he also felt that he was a little whimsical, "The agriculture and commerce must be extremely developed, and the people must have enough food and clothing, and this is only possible because of food and clothing."

"There will be a day," Li Baolu said softly, "Our ancestors were savages who drilled wood to make fire, but now," Li Baolu drew a circle with his hand, said: "We can make flint, plant, and Weaving and farming may be far away from the day you said, but we have been working hard for it, haven't we?"

"Sir, Madam, what are you talking about?" The little fat man ran over excitedly, but his eyes were fixed on the beggar chickens in the book basket. There were three of them whose seals hadn't been opened yet, so they must still be hot inside. There is a faint aroma, and it seems to be delicious.

"We are talking about when you will let the farmers' rice yield exceed eight shi per mu, and wheat exceed seven shi."

The little fat man was stunned, "Sir, didn't you just say that the average yield of rice in Dachu recorded by the Ministry of Households is only three stones, and wheat is only two stones?"

"That's right."

The little fat man pouted and said, "Then your requirements are too high. You have to grow so much at once, and we are not farmers, and we don't know how to farm."

Gu Jingyun looked at Li Baolu.

Li Baolu teased him and said, "Food is the most important thing for the people. You are going to be a butcher for officials in the future and leave your name in history. Does that mean you want to serve the people and solve their livelihood problems?"

The little fat man tilted his head and said this three times, and then nodded after confirming that there was no problem, "But I don't know how to farm."

"You can learn." Li Baolu looked into his eyes and said, "Do you know why it is difficult to increase the grain yield per mu?"

The little fat man shook his head.

"Because there are too few people who can farm and can read," Li Baolu sighed: "Farmers can farm, but few can read, and they rarely think deeply. You can read and think , but you don’t know how to farm, so you don’t think about the problem of farming. After the grain harvest fails, everyone either blames natural disasters or people’s disasters. But natural disasters and people’s disasters often occur. Have you ever thought about how to keep food in Is there a good harvest before natural disasters, or is there no bad harvest? This requires you to know how to plant the land, and only after you know how to plant can you think about it and think about the solution."

The little fat man is still ignorant, "Why are farmers illiterate and can't think deeply? But we can think deeply when we are literate?"

"It's not that if you can read and write, you will think deeply, and it's not that if you can't read, you won't think deeply, but..." Li Baolu thought for a while and suddenly said to him: "After the severe drought, there will be locust plagues."

"Is it locusts? Why? Don't they need to drink water?" The little fat man was obviously stubborn, when Li Baolu suddenly changed the subject, he followed suit, only following the last sentence.

The corner of Li Baolu's mouth twitched slightly, "Because locusts like warm and dry weather, they reproduce very fast, grow fast, and have a high survival rate in such weather, so locust plagues often occur after severe droughts."

"You see, you know why to ask why, but if you go to the countryside and ask those farmers and children working in the fields, you don't know this truth that almost all adults and children in the countryside know, but they don't know why, and they don't know why. Ask why, because this is an experience passed down from generation to generation, word of mouth, just remembering can save a life. They will rush to harvest food, dig wild vegetables, and pick leaves and bark after the drought, because these will all be destroyed after the locust plague. no longer exists."

The little fat man was shocked, "Can you still eat the leaves and bark?"

"Of course, if people are extremely hungry, they can eat human flesh."

The little fat man was silent, "Then there is no way to prevent the locust plague?"

"Then do you think so?"

The little fat man frowned, "Just don't let the locusts grow so fast, and don't let them grow so many."

Li Baolu reminded: "Locusts lay eggs, and they like to lay their eggs in dry fields and river banks that have dried up."

"Stamp them all to death!" The little fat man clenched his fists and said, "Or they will be burnt to death."

"But very few people know this," Li Baolu said. "They know that locust plagues after the drought have been passed down from their ancestors through word of mouth. How difficult it is to spread the method of controlling locust plagues throughout Dachu."

The little fat man used his brains, "You can let the people in the yamen make an announcement, and have someone print a book and send it to them."

"The imperial government's decrees also have shortcomings. They can neither afford nor understand the printed books."

The little fat man wrinkled his entire face, "Then what should we do?"

Both Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun looked at him with smiles and remained silent.

The little fat man was so blessed that he thought about it again from the beginning to the end, clapped his hands and said: "I know what my wife means, the key is to think! If you know how to think, you will ask why, and then you will look for the answer, but the illiterate farmers I only follow my experience and rarely go back to think about it, and even if I think about it, I can’t record what I think, remember and discover because of illiteracy.”

Li Baolu nodded and looked at him encouragingly.

"Is it difficult to make farmers all literate?"

"It's hard," Li Baolu said sadly, "It's hard for one out of a hundred households to be able to read. Do you think it's hard?"

The little fat man can't understand it, because he has been reading since he can remember. When he was a child, he wanted to read some simple and easy-to-understand Tang poems. After reading it all, he read "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Book of Songs". According to his father, he will read "The Doctrine of the Mean", "University", "Spring and Autumn" and "Zuo Zhuan" in the future.

If he didn't want to study, he would be beaten on the palm of the hand, and his father would deny him food and punish him to kneel in the ancestral hall. He thought that there were only people who didn't want to study in this world. So there are people who can't study?

Li Baolu didn't say any more, I've taught him enough today, and the child would not be able to digest any more.

Seeing the little fat boy standing there dumbfounded, Li Baolu turned to Gu Jingyun and said, "This kid is very good."

Gu Jingyun said with distaste: "It's just that he's too fat and doesn't have strong perseverance. It's good to be stubborn, otherwise he will be hopeless." The pride in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

After all, he was the first batch of students he taught, Gu Jingyun was very attentive, much more attentive than working in the Imperial Academy.

Although the little fat man was stubborn, his perseverance was not strong. Before he could think of anything, his nose moved again, and he started staring at the beggar chicken in the book basket again.

Li Baolu couldn't stop laughing, and brought out a beggar chicken wrapped in mud, and said with a smile: "Call all your classmates, we will eat chicken."

The little fat man cheered, yelled at his classmates and sat down in front of Li Baolu, taking a good seat.

Li Baolu slapped the mud seal, and the smell of the chicken gushed out. There was a layer of lotus leaves wrapped in the mud. When the lotus leaves were uncovered, the fragrance wafted leisurely. Those young disciples who were still chatting and admiring the scenery immediately ran away Come over and sit down obediently, looking eagerly at the chicken in Li Baolu's hand.

Li Baolu took a dagger and cut open the belly of the chicken, poured out all the stuffing inside, and then cut the chicken apart.

There are three chickens in total, of course it is not enough for twenty children, but everyone has eaten a lot before, and it is okay just to taste.

The little fat man quickly finished his share, and began to stare at the stuffing that was placed on the plate, which was what was poured out of the chicken belly...

Li Baolu teased him a little bit, "I kind of understand why you are so fat, what does your father do?"

"My father is still studying, but my grandfather is the servant of the household department."

"No wonder you're so fat..."

The little fat man didn't understand very well, so he focused all his attention on eating.

Li Baolu picked mushrooms for Gu Jingyun, "You like to eat."

After eating and drinking enough, everyone played on the mountain for nearly half an hour, and when they had almost digested their food, they went down the mountain slowly with their book baskets.

At this time, the academy was already out of school, and the children respectfully sent Gu Jingyun and his wife off as soon as they got off the mountain, and then jumped up and ran to the gate of the academy after the two of them had disappeared, "Oh, oh, school is over, let's catch crickets—"

"Oh oh, school is over, let's go shopping—"

"Aww. After school, let's go horseback riding—"

Gu Jingyun heard the howling ghosts and howling wolves from behind, and smiled happily, then paused when he saw the huge honor wall in front of him, and gradually put away his smile, "I don't know when Niuniu will be able to study like them."

Li Baolu followed his gaze and saw that it was the honor wall of Qingxi Academy, with the men's college on the front and the women's college on the back.

Li Baolu went up to look and found that the names of her aunt and mother-in-law were all on it.
