Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 278 Experiments
Think about the benefits of the Ministry of Education that make the elders drool, if you can show your face in front of the son-in-law, you will really climb a high branch.Not to mention planting trees, it doesn't matter if you guard barren mountains.

Being a dude has its advantages and disadvantages, that is, the elders will never worry about you and treat you like a child.If you can make some great contributions and change the impression of being a dandy in the hearts of the elders, then your voice and status in the family will increase.

Therefore, this group of people really didn't come to eat and drink in the restaurant.

They also want to do big things.

Seemingly trivial things, there are quite a lot of doorways inside, and planting trees must be the same.

Some people were worried that planting trees would be demeaning.But with Yang Ping's words, the son-in-law intends to test it himself, who else can laugh at them, dispelling everyone's concerns.

Now, they only have a guess about Shen Sanwen's intention, but they don't know the inside story.I only know that the imperial court wants to expand the forest area, whether it is lack of wood for building palaces, lack of firewood for building greenhouses, or just for afforestation, it is not something they have to worry about.

There is only one thing they have to do, plant trees and live.

Yang Ping is also considered to be the first to get the moon because he is close to the water, and it is easy to plant trees with his back on the barren hills. Just like the son-in-law, he can transplant a batch to his own courtyard. He can have more complete varieties and greater hopes than him.

The Yang family seems to be rising.

Yang Ping smiled smugly, and aroused the envy of the crowd. He hates that the family is fertile land, not as exaggerated as the Yang family, leaving a barren hill.

At the moment, naturally anxious.

"Brother Yang, why don't we plant it together? You also said that this tree is not easy to survive, and there are many people so we can find a way."

Yang Ping didn't even think about doing it alone, after all, everyone worked together today, and everyone worked hard. Anyway, he took the lead, and the bulk of the credit must be his.

The efforts of a group of dandies, the strength of a large number of people, is naturally much more reliable than Shen Sanwen's experiment.

Yang Ping is not an idiot either, he must have visited first to confirm the matter before proceeding, but he must have made preparations before the visit.

On the second day, Yang Ping brought a few brothers to visit the mansion, Shen Sanwen asked if he remembered this person, so he spread the word.

He is not seen by everyone now.

Yang Ping respectfully handed over a record book.

On Yang's barren mountain, there are 160 and five tree species. Yang Ping intends to collect five baht each and transplant them to the foot of the mountain, hoping to do something for the son-in-law.

Shen San asked to check them one by one. He really had never heard of the names of some trees. He always felt that this record book was a lie, and this group of people couldn't recognize all those trees.

But it's a good thing that they have a heart.

Shen Sanwen paced back and forth, considering whether to assign this task to them. Although planting a tree is not a fun task, but this tree will grow in the wild where no one is looking after it. To be clear, planting trees can also stun people.Otherwise, why are there so many farmers who devote themselves to taking care of the crops for the rest of their lives, leading these young masters to the brink, the elders in their families must have objections.

"This is not a joke, are you serious?"

Yang Ping replied with a grin, "We have so many people here, and we have the results of the investigation, so we must be serious."

Shen Sanwen asked, "These trees are meant to contribute to drought and flood resistance. If you can really select the best saplings, it will be considered a great achievement."

Regardless of whether things can be done or not, the cake must first be painted.

Yang Ping and the others listened and exchanged glances. The son-in-law is so forthright, a great achievement!

Shen Sanwen continued, "The tree I need most is a tree that can grow gratifyingly, with luxuriant branches and deep roots no matter whether it is sunny or cloudy, rainy or dry."

Why don't you go to the sky? Some people like light rain, and some like sunny days. Isn't this requirement a bit difficult for trees?

It feels like the son-in-law is embarrassing us.

Shen Sanwen continued, "Of course, this kind of tree is hard to find, so the imperial court is most in need of a tree that can grow and be easily transplanted in arid areas.

You can plant two trees in a more humid place, such as by a pond or by a river.The other three trees were planted in dry places, watered every day for the first three days, then once a week, and then twice, so he could be left alone.

The tree that can survive after two months is the tree I need. "

Yang Ping nodded, not too difficult, "Then we'll go back and make arrangements."

Shen San asked: "It's best to discuss this matter with your parents before doing it."

Yang Ping was taken aback, they did it for meritorious service, so what does it have to do with their parents, "Is it negotiable or not?"

Shen Sanwen nodded.

That's out of the question, Yang Ping and others are in a hurry to leave the house.

Before that, Shen Sanwen took him to see the tree that he himself brought back.They are densely planted in the courtyard, and there are traces of watering at the foot of each tree. Give them a rough guide.

Seemingly there were no more precautions to explain, Shen San asked to let them out of the mansion.

Afterwards, Shen Sanwen scratched his head, their fathers hadn't thought about transitioning and prevaricating him, but this group of young people turned against him first.Those old people realized that the trees they planted were not for the shade, but for the afforestation plan, so what should they do?

Yang Ping and the others left the mansion and formed a circle again.

Yang Ping instructed, "Let's plant several kinds of trees at home with the same caliber. Don't be fooled. I just want to add some greenery to the home. As long as it is not an unlucky tree, no one in the family will object. At first I'm afraid I have to keep an eye on it, so as not to be uprooted by the bastards."

"Well, it's only two months anyway, everyone is filial, they won't doubt it."

"How can we really find out the tree species that the son-in-law needs?"

Yang Ping: "Undoubtedly, with so many of us, even if we can't find them, we can rule out those trees that cannot be used. If we can't find them in two months, it will be half a year, and if we can't find them in half a year, it will be a year. Don't destroy our prestige. "

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Arrange a unified caliber and tasks, and each lead their own tasks home.

plant trees.

The young master of the Yang family directly reported this matter to the higher authorities. He is the son of the eldest son, but in Luoyang City, he is not as good as the concubine sons of some big families. , I kept thinking about what to do.

At least, he loves this family.

Otherwise, if someone bullies him to the head, he won't immediately ask him to go up the mountain.

For the entire Yang family, even if they give up some wealth, the future of the son is not important.The Yang family was not an ordinary nobleman, it was one of the most glorious families in Luoyang during the Sui Dynasty, and there were two sages in the descendants, but it was useless, the Yang family was really losing day by day.Why?It's not because the relationship with the royal family is not close enough.

Even if Wu Zetian ascended the throne, they are still marginal people.

Whenever there is a chance to get close to one or two, it is worthwhile to sell the iron.Wealth is not just a matter of a few words in the palace, why does that humble Lai Junchen ride on the heads of so many aristocratic families and royal relatives, because His Majesty trusts him.The Yang family naturally knows a lot about these things, so Yang Ping is also confident that he can get support.

Others, most of them have a heart to hide it, and some people don't need this way out at home, but they are looking for a future for themselves.People who are living a prosperous life will always feel that they will have a way out.Even if he resigned and was demoted, His Majesty hasn't killed much now, has he?The wealth accumulated by struggling for a lifetime, the ancestral land that can be passed down from generation to generation, can't be fooled by Shen San's question and a few words to plant trees and afforestation?

If it is really a national plan, it is time to discuss how much money should be allocated by the treasury and how many quotas each locality should have.There has been no news for a long time, can this be true?They naturally thought that Shen Sanwen was thinking of something else, and fooled them into contributing selflessly to the country.

Over the years, this son-in-law has kept his face and accomplished many things without spending a penny.

The picture album for persuading farmers is considered the biggest expense, but the reputation they have gained is not lost at all.

They are waiting, it doesn't matter if they work hard and pay money, but after that, what can they get?
Ten-year scholar, three-year old fritters.

Now they are all masters who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles.

Shen Sanwen never thought about doing anything from the imperial court, as long as the magistrates are willing to climb up, this matter will not fail.

Therefore, the top priority is to select the best saplings, and there is no need to play tricks with a group of old fritters.

Two months passed quickly, and the slightly cold spring day was gradually chasing the pace of the scorching summer, yearning for warmth and sunshine.

Yang Ping's vigorous tree planting plan also failed [-]% of the time. How can a tree live without watering?Big trees are deeply rooted to absorb water, and the leaves stand tall again to welcome the sun.

Is there a tree that doesn't like water?

Like a fish that lives on land, a cat that lives in water.

nonexistent.

This thing likes dampness and sun.

However, this is a part of the Yang family's rise plan. The entire Yang family is really busy, each person is assigned a tree, and the lazy people are naturally watered once a week, but there are always a few hardworking ones who water every day.

Although it was mostly cloudy, the saplings fed by these diligent people still survived bravely and strongly.

Brothers and sisters, there are also people who can plant trees. Naturally, many people in the family are interested in the trees they want to plant. If they don't do anything, others are willing to help them take care of the trees.Isn't watering very important for planting trees?

There is always someone who understands.

As for the saplings asked by Shen San, he ordered people to water them three times a day, and almost all of them survived, except for some that were really not suitable for transplanting.

Therefore, he failed more thoroughly.

This is to choose the ones that don't require so much time to take care of.
Fortunately, he has a backup team.

Every day, Yang Ping would get together to inquire about the situation of the saplings, apart from walking around the streets with a group of dudes. The two-month period was approaching, and the inquiries and discussions were very frequent.

Instead, he brought the answer to Shen Sanwen, pine, fir and locust trees.

These are the few that he can survive after preparing nearly a thousand saplings.

Shen Sanwen's first reaction when he heard this was surprise. They should have planted them in their own home, but someone actually planted locust trees at home?
It is natural to ask such an interesting thing, "Where did you plant the locust tree?"

Yang Ping: "It was planted by a brother. I watered and swept the only cedar trees that survived here. Pine trees and pagoda trees, water less."

Shen San asked: "No, I'm asking, do you plant locust trees at home?"

Yang Ping nodded, there is nothing wrong with it, "Where should it be planted?"

Shen Sanwen couldn't bear to remind him, "Huai Tonggui, this is not an auspicious tree. Your elders asked you to plant it?"

In this great week where the emperor is called the Son of Heaven, Feng Shui metaphysics is still rampant, and Taoist temples and Buddhist temples are constantly burning with incense.

You plant a hammered locust tree.

The corner of Yang Ping's mouth twitched, and now he came to his senses, no wonder the little brother hadn't seen him for a few days, only sent a message, and he didn't know how inhuman torture he was at home, and his heart ached.

There are problems with pagoda tree planting at home, but no one cares about planting it in the wilderness, and it can also be selected.

In fact, in the past few days, Shen Sanwen thought of what he had learned in elementary school, poplar, a common tree in Northwest China, but it was by no means an ordinary tree.It has extremely strong vitality, cannot be tortured, cannot be oppressed, and its spiritual outlook is similar to that of farmers in the north.

The poplar trees described by Mao Dun are said to survive wherever there is grass.

Therefore, Shen Sanwen sent people to the Western Regions to search for it. If he started planting from the Great Zhou Dynasty, would it be true that after 500 years, this land would not have deserts or neighbors?

The endless desert with no end in sight, although it is also the scenery left by nature to human beings, but Shen Sanwen can't appreciate its beauty.

Try another round and wait for the poplar to find it.

In the south, in humid and rainy places, pine, locust and fir trees are planted, and in the north, poplar trees are planted.

As for the person to supervise the afforestation plan, Shen Sanwen thinks Comrade Yang Ping is very suitable.There is still a big difference in mentality between a person who is competent for election and a person who takes the initiative to take responsibility.Maybe that competent person is tired after several years of tempering, and wants to rest where he is.

But arranging a newcomer to handle such an important matter, no one can rest assured.

In the discussions in the mansion this time, neither the princess nor Shen Sanwen asked anyone to take the initiative to handle the matter, it was all voluntary.Cui Xuan has been away all year round, and he has contributed enough to them. If he is willing, the matter of the general will be fine. If he is not willing, it is good that Song Jing and Wang Bin are willing to take the responsibility this time.

Shen Sanwen was optimistic about Song Jing. After Cui Xuan returned to Beijing, the Cui family had already taken him as the backbone, and it was not so easy to go out again, but Song Jing's foundation in Luoyang was already solid, and it was time for credit.

But the atmosphere was a bit weird, and Song Jing didn't intend to take the initiative to invite Ying for a long time.

Shen San asked: "???"

Your hardworking and down-to-earth personality is about to collapse, Mr. Song, Shen Sanwen would like to remind you.

What's going on here.

Then, Cui Xuan recommended Wang Bin, "Young Master Wang's talent and learning are sufficient."

Song Jing seconded, "Prince Wang and Shizi Yang also get along well."

Wang Bin: "How embarrassing."

The saplings and cultivation methods have all been written down, and the officials' reward methods have also been written clearly. He and Yang Ping are going out to inspect to see if these people have seriously implemented them.When you meet ignorant people, you beat and beat them. If you are really ignorant, you go to the court. When you meet someone who does things beautifully, you go to the table to ask for credit.

This is the beautiful job of visiting mountains and rivers, eating, drinking and having fun, and admiring the beauty of beauties.

Can't ask for it.
