While sneezing, Gu Nanxi went to inspect the spring plowing conditions in various towns, with Woye Town being the key observation target.
"The seawater rice seeds brought by Su Erlang have sprouted. I have set aside a part of the experimental field to plant seawater rice. If the harvest can be successful this year..."
Mr. Xu stood on the edge of the field. On the road, looking at the endless saline-alkali land from a distance, the voice was inaudible: "That is the blessing of all people!"
There are many saline-alkali land like Woye Town in Dazhou.
In order to make sea rice grow better, Mr. Xu specially irrigated the experimental field with a large amount of clean water.
The grassland is already short of water, and Woye Town's water resources are not as abundant as this.
The water used to wash the irrigation test fields was brought from afar by the farmers.
If we want to change the conditions of the entire saline-alkali land to the same as that of the experimental field, we don’t know how much manpower and material resources will be spent.
But if the experimental field can succeed, it is still a hope.
You cannot change the saline-alkali land all at once, but it would be good to change one more acre!
Gu Nanxi looked at the small, square experimental field. The farmland could be seen at a glance, but four soldiers were arranged to guard it. This showed how much Mr. Xu valued this experimental field.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Wang, just feel free to do it! Behind Woye Town is Yunzhou, and the entire Yunzhou will protect you!" Gu Nanxi made a promise.
In terms of the priority ranking of all matters in Yunzhou, the first one is definitely military defense, and the second one is the transformation of saline-alkali land.
Mr. Xu and Wang Buxi looked at each other, and both saluted and thanked Gu Nanxi.
Wang Buxi got the result he wanted, and reciprocated the favor by asking: "Sir, your eldest son, Enke, will also end up this year, right? Although I broke up with the Wang family, there are still a few Best friends. Although their official positions are not high, they are quite prestigious in Qingliu."
"Oh? That's great. I have to leave everything to Mr. Wang." Gu Nanxi knew very well that in Qingliu's eyes, she and Baichuan Academy were like troublemakers.
Su Xuanming will pursue an official career in the future. No matter what he does on the surface, he should not really antagonize these Qingliu in private.
"Okay, I'll fix a few letters right now." Wang Buxi sincerely wanted to follow the general, so he naturally hoped that the more help Gu Nanxi could get, the better.
Su Xuanming smiled brightly after receiving the letter. His mother was busy but she still thought about him. This feeling of being cared for made people feel warm.
Of course Su Xuanming would not let down his mother-in-law’s kindness, so he started walking around with the young talents in Qingliu.
On May 13th, the sky was clear and crisp, but the whole Kyoto was still abuzz with the latest news.
On this day, the imperial court appointed Huang Qi, a scholar from Jixian University, to be the chief examiner of the examination in Kyoto, and two bachelors from the Bachelor's College to be the deputy examiners.
Because it is Ganke, the interpretation test and the general test are held at the same time.
I thought there would be two examiners, but I didn’t expect it to be the same one!
Huang Qi, a bachelor of Jixian Palace, is the biological father of the current queen. His appointment as the examiner this time proves that the emperor temporarily outranked Grand Master Tong in the imperial examination!
"How could this happen?!" Chen Shihai and other Xiangzhou students were all dumbfounded.
Everything they did to prepare for the exam was based on the premise that Taishi Tong’s faction would be the chief official!
Some students were anxious and spoke in a bad tone: "Now that the examiner has been decided, they will enter the Gongyuan in three days, lock the courtyard and give the questions! How can we have time to do this in just a few days? Prepare? Chen Lang, didn’t you say you were 100% sure?”
Chen Shihai also looked very unhappy. The news given by the Song family is that the examiner will most likely be a scholar of the Song family. .
So, in the past six months, he has been studying the articles and strategies of Song Daru every day, trying to figure out the thoughts of him and Taishi Tong. As a result, the examiner was not Song Daru at all, nor was he even from Taishi Tong’s faction!
At this critical moment, where can I find the historical articles about Astragalus? !
In the Fuquan Teahouse, the students in Xiangzhou were in a state of misery.
Some people couldn't help but secretly complain about Chen Shihai and the Song family. They had studied well in the academy, but the Song family wanted to learn from the troubled Baichuan Academy and forced students to join the training class. !
"Hey, aren't these young talents from Xiangzhou? Why are they all holding their faces?" The Taixue student who just walked in was gloating.
Chen Shihai glanced at them gloomily and said sarcastically: "You are so happy, you must have suppressed the examiner?"
The Taixue student was a little bit ruffian: "That's not true, we just It’s just a matter of defeating the Holy Master! Maybe Baichuan Academy can defeat the examiner after all!”
Chen Shihai doesn’t believe that Baichuan Academy can do this? !
The Taixue students didn’t care whether he believed it or not. Anyway, they would see the real results in the examination room!
I have to say that sometimes choice is greater than effort.
This time, Taixue students have learned well, and their benchmark is Baichuan Academy! Every piece of paper revealed in Baichuan Academy will be considered by them several times.
No, they are betting in the right direction this time!
Three days later, the whole of Kyoto seemed to have been cast under a spell. Even the most aggressive women on the streets raised their voices to speak.
The vendors stopped shouting loudly and silently stirred the food in the pot so that the aroma would spread and attract customers.
This time, Su Xuanming didn’t have any family members to take the exam, and there was only a Xiao Hei behind him.
While chewing donkey meat sesame cakes, Xiao Hei said naively: "My lady gave me instructions before I left, telling you not to eat greasy food a few days before the exam to avoid having diarrhea in the exam room."
Su Xuan Ming was silent, thinking of the porridge and side dishes he had eaten for three or four days in a row, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should thank his little sister for her kindness.
It just has to be said that my younger sister's housekeeping abilities are getting better and better. Even though I have been away from Kyoto for several months, the servants in the house still follow her words as if they were imperial edicts.
I wanted to sneak a piece of mutton in the middle of the night, but I couldn't!
"Su Dalang!" Geng Silang also came to take the exam alone, and his family followed the general to Yunzhou.
At this time, when he saw the lonely Su Dalang, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy for his fate.
Su Dalang responded with a smile: "Geng Silang, are you ready for the test basket?"
Geng Silang patted the test basket hanging on his elbow, with gratitude in his eyes: "Everyone is ready." It was prepared by the academy! It’s said that you and Master Liu have checked everything, so there won’t be any problems.”
“It still needs to be checked, in case there is any oversight.”
“Yes. ! ”
After a while, a long queue formed outside the Gongyuan. Because they had to verify their identity before the exam started, everyone came very early, before it was fully dark.
Several torches were lit on the high wall, illuminating everyone.
The gate officer read the names and warrants of the candidates one by one, and the candidates filed in.
Before Su Xuanming went in, he turned around and looked at his classmates at Baichuan Academy: "The peach blossoms penetrate three layers of waves, and the Guizixian climbs up to the first branch. All gentlemen, encourage each other!"
"Encourage each other!" !”(End of this chapter)
