Chapter 1318 Complaint
"Don't move unless it's beneficial, don't use it unless it's necessary, don't fight unless it's dangerous. The Lord can't be angry and raise an army, and the general can't be angry and go to war. Move when it's beneficial, and stop when it's not. Anger can return to joy, and anger can return to joy. , A destroyed country cannot survive, and the dead cannot be resurrected. The king should be cautious and the good generals should be on guard. This is the way to secure the country and the whole army! You, a mere child with a yellow mouth, do not respect the teachings of Confucianism, talk nonsense about state affairs, and confuse right and wrong. Do you really want to become the eternal sinner of the Tang Dynasty and the culprit of the Han Dynasty for generations? ?”
Wei Zheng blew his beard and stared, his tone was stern.
The old man who had received a lot of Confucian education could not accept Fang Jun's theory. In his opinion, when foreign invaders invaded, they could just unite and fight away. If instead they invaded everywhere like barbarians and caused devastation to all living beings, how would they be any different from those barbarians?
We are a kingdom of heaven and a land of etiquette, how can we behave like barbarians!
The barbarians do not understand etiquette. As the Celestial Kingdom, it is natural for us to have the responsibility and obligation to teach them to understand. When barbarians raise troops to invade, it doesn't matter. Just fight them off, and then they need to be taught and transformed. Why did the barbarians come to invade? No food! The people don't have enough to eat, so they come to the Central Plains to rob. Give them more money and food, and they won't come...
Fang Jun looked at the indignant Wei Zheng and was extremely speechless.
The old woman Cixi’s bad habit of “preferring to be a friend rather than a domestic slave” was not invented by that old woman, but it has been a trend since ancient times?
Wei Zheng's words come from "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, which Fang Jun has read.
However, his understanding was completely different from that of Wei Zheng...
"Move when it suits your interests, stop when it doesn't... Why? Sun Wu also knew that war is a continuation of politics, and politics is the distribution of interests. If it is in our interests, then we can go to war; if it is not in our interests, we can go to war. If you have interests, you can’t fight. Look, how clear is that?”
Listening to Fang Jun's nonsense, Wei Zheng's nose almost turned crooked with anger!
It's simply taken out of context and heretical. Is this how Sun Tzu reads "The Art of War"?
The greatest absurdity in the world!
"Your Majesty clearly understands that this man is confusing the public and misinterpreting the sages. His intentions are ridiculous and his intentions are vicious. I beg your Majesty to remove him from office so that he will not hold a high position and bring endless trouble to the empire!"
Wei Zheng glared at His Majesty Li Er and read Fang Jun's book fiercely.
His Majesty Li Er is also in a bit of a dilemma...
It is true that the pie drawn by Fang Jun made His Majesty Li Er very excited. If war and wealth can be equated, then the Tang army must be full of combat effectiveness. With the spur of wealth, it can travel across the world and expand its borders. earth!
But if aristocratic families take a dominant position in the army because of this, this is something His Majesty Li Er absolutely does not want to see.
You can't have your cake and eat it too...
After a moment of confusion in his heart, His Majesty Li Er could only say: "Xuan Cheng, don't be angry. Fang Jun only talked about it and never implemented it seriously. Naturally, it is up to the ministers and ministers in the court to weigh the pros and cons and make a choice. Besides, this kid He is just a stick, and he has always spoken freely. Why do you need to be on the same level with him at your age? ”
This is obviously a deviation...
Wei Zheng became more and more angry, but after the emperor said this, he had to endure it. He just stared at Fang Jun with eyes as sharp as knives, full of anger...
Fang Jun shrugged and refused to provoke Wei Zheng.
The light rain was pouring, and the ground fell into silence for a while, with only the sound of dripping rain...
After a long while, an official from Sinong Temple couldn't help but pulled Fang Jun's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "May I ask Fang Fuyin, why do you plant the seeds so deeply in cotton cultivation?"
In the ridges plowed by Zhenguan plows, cotton seeds were planted and covered with a thick layer of soil.
Generally speaking, seeds should not be planted too deep. If the soil layer is too thick, it will affect the germination of the seeds. The later the germination, the shorter the growth cycle of the plant and the lower the yield.
Fang Jun explained: "The growth cycle of cotton is not long, and it has enough time to bloom and bear fruit. Such deep planting will allow the seeds to germinate earlier in the soil, the root system will be more developed, and the disease resistance will be greatly increased."
The official looked confused: "Why is this?"
Fang Jun was speechless, why do you have so many?
This is the result of hundreds of years of proven cultivation experience in later generations. How can we explain it clearly?
"Anyway, this is the way to plant it. Later, I will compile a detailed manual for cotton planting, which can be used as a reference for cotton planting." Fang Jun changed the subject and asked: "Have you, Sir Nong Qing, ever put it into practice?" Agricultural officials from all over the country were summoned to Beijing? ”
Last year, he negotiated with Dou Jing, the Minister of Agriculture, and summoned agricultural officials from all over the world to Beijing to jointly compile an "Agricultural Book" to sort out planting methods from all over the world, summarize the growth habits and farming techniques of various crops, and then It was published all over the country and promoted as a classic on agriculture in the Tang Dynasty.
But Dou Jing, an old guy, has been slow to make any move...
The official of Sinong Temple smiled awkwardly, shook his head and said: "We, Dou Siqing, would like to summon agricultural officials from all over the world to come to Beijing. After all, it is a grand event for agriculture in the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, our Sinong Temple is actually a Qingshui Yamen and has limited funds. What a clever woman. It's hard to cook without rice... But don't worry, Dou Siqing has sent letters to all states and counties. As soon as the spring plowing is over, the agricultural officials will come to Beijing one after another, and this event will definitely not be delayed."
< br>
"Haha..." Fang Jun sneered.
With limited funds, is it difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice?
Bah!
What is that old fox Dou Jing thinking, do you really think I don’t know?
Funding is never an issue! The compilation of "Nongshu" was led by Jingzhao Mansion and Sinong Temple, and naturally the two families were jointly responsible for the funding. Although this amount of money is huge, what does it mean to the Jingzhao Mansion, which now imposes a severe fine for spitting on the streets? What's more, Li Xiaogong, who hopes to rely on "Nongshu" to enhance his reputation and status, endorses it. Does your Sinong Temple need to spend money?
It was nothing more than Dou Jing's heart aching and unbalanced when she saw that the credit that should have belonged to Sinong Temple was divided between Fang Jun and Li Xiaogong...
That Dou Jing looks smart, but is actually extremely stupid!
Fang Jun nodded with a cold face and said calmly: "Go back and tell your family Dou Siqing that I am busy with official duties this year and it is difficult to get away. I will not participate in the compilation of the "Agricultural Book". I would like to express my best wishes." Dou Siqing's success achieved great success, and he achieved immortal achievements in the agriculture of the Tang Dynasty. He left his name in history and was famous for generations..."
Aren't you feeling unbalanced?
Don’t you think I’ve taken your credit?
That’s okay, I won’t play anymore!
Go ahead and play with your own eggs...
The official of Sinong Temple was obviously Dou Jing's confidant and knew the whole story. He was shocked when he heard this and said quickly: "How could Fangfu Yin be like this? You were the first to propose the compilation of "Nongshu", how can you stay out of it now? ?”
As he said, Sinong Temple is just a Qingshui Yamen, without any oil or water. The compilation of "Nongshu" requires huge manpower and material resources. Without the support of a strong figure like Fang Jun, Sinong Temple itself would not be able to do it!
Now that Fang Jun throws the rake and quits, how can Dou Jing herself still play?
Fang Jun's face darkened and he shouted: "Who are you? How dare you question me?"
Having been in a high position for a long time, the omnipresent majesty inadvertently leaked out. The official was so frightened that his face turned earth-colored and his forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He quickly bent down and saluted: "Fang Fu Yin, please forgive me. I don't dare to question Fang Fu Yin..."
What a bad luck!
He was just looking for trouble. When Fang Jun asked, he could just ask three questions and it would be over. It's good now, I have to say a few words to make myself angry. If the "Nongshu" matter is taken seriously, Dou Siqing will probably be able to skin him...
The two of them were muttering here. When His Majesty Li Er saw this, he asked curiously: "What are you talking about?"
Fang Jun said: "Your Majesty, didn't the minister discuss with Dou Siqing of Sinong Temple to summon agricultural officials from all over the world to Beijing to compile a "Nongshu" as a classic on farming in the Tang Dynasty? Originally, winter is the best time. It was compiled in one winter and can now be published in the world. Unfortunately, Dou Siqing was busy with official duties and never took the time. Wei Chen thought that he could not disturb Dou Siqing's official duties, so he might as well drop the matter..."
The eyes of the officials at Sinong Temple were twitching. This was really a trick...
But who told his temple minister to hide his little thoughts?
Originally, the best time to compile the Agricultural Book was winter, but all winter Dou Jing was thinking about how to maximize her own interests in the compilation of the Agricultural Book. It would be best to squeeze Fang Jun and Li Xiaogong into the corner. The best opportunity was missed.
Now that spring plowing has begun all over the world, it is naturally impossible to transfer all the farmers and officials in the world to the capital...
This is indeed Dou Jing's fault and cannot be shied away from. (End of chapter)
