Chapter 783
Du Jinning encouraged them: "Think about it, whether it is the history of the Song Dynasty or the history of Japan, as long as you talk about the tea ceremony, your names will be there, and the historical materials will record in detail that you went to Japan to promote the tea ceremony. This is a good thing that will go down in history. How many people can't think of it, and the opportunity will never come again. Think about your status after returning from Japan..."

None of the three of Lu Jiuyuan are Buddhist figures. Their research on Confucianism and their desire to establish a theory of mind are not so much because they like Confucianism, but because the achievements of Confucianism can bring them fame and fortune.

Through the mutual debates in the newspapers during this period, the theory of mind has spread.But it is the tea ceremony that has a greater impact and can bring them more fame and fortune.After all, Confucianism is only liked by scholars, and only those who have advanced to a certain level in the study of Confucianism can be interested.But the tea ceremony is liked by everyone from the emperors to the common people, and the audience is much larger than that of Confucianism.Now, it is about to spread to Japan.

Thinking about returning from Japan, as envoys to other countries to promote tea culture, they will not only receive the attention and rewards of the emperor, but will be regarded as guests no matter where they go in the future, and their blood is boiling.

Du Jinning understood their mentality very well, and said: "Going to Japan from here is actually similar to going to Guangxi Province in terms of the journey, except that you need to take a boat. Those who come from the Kingdom of Heaven, the people of Japan will regard them as Honorable guests, I dare not neglect you in the slightest. If you are worried about the language barrier, isn’t Master Watanabe and the others accompanying you? Before you go, you can also learn some simple Japanese.”

"But Master Watanabe and the others have gone back to the capital, how do they learn?" Peng Shicheng asked.

Du Jinning showed a smile: "I have already learned."

"What?" The three exclaimed in unison, but thinking about Du Jinning's perverted memory, the three of them took it for granted.

"However, I can only talk about some simple conversations, and I don't understand the complicated ones." Du Jinning added.

She has such a good memory that learning languages ​​is no problem at all.In her previous life, she was proficient in several foreign languages, and Japanese was one of them.

There is a certain difference between ancient Japanese and modern Japanese. In the days when she was with Watanabe and the others, she kept learning the language from the three of them.By the time Watanabe and the others left, she had already fully mastered the Japanese language at this time.But in order not to reveal her secrets, when she talked with the three of them, she only said some simple dialogues.

"I can teach you for a few days before going to Beijing. After you go to the capital, you can ask Master Watanabe and the others for advice." Du Jinning said again.

After being told by Du Jinning, the mentality of Lu Jiuyuan and the three of them settled down, followed by strong anticipation and excitement.

Watanabe and the others finally came to Song Dynasty, the main purpose is to learn Buddhism, naturally they will not go back immediately, they not only study in temples near the capital, but also travel to temples in other places, their whereabouts are uncertain, and the return date is also uncertain down.Therefore, the three of Lu Jiuyuan were not in a hurry to return to Beijing, but stayed in Runzhou, learning Japanese from Du Jinning.

In such a flash, time flew by, and it was not until Du Jinning's late rice was harvested and the fields were filled with green manure that Lu Jiuyuan and the others received the holy intention and returned to the capital.

They will celebrate the New Year at their home in the capital, and when the weather gets warmer after the next year, they will set off eastward for Japan.

The Honglu Temple officials who accompanied Watanabe and others to welcome them were surprised when they heard that they could communicate with Watanabe and others in fluent Japanese, and asked, "Mr. Lu, how can you speak Japanese dialect?"

Lu Jiuyuan smiled and said, "I learned from Mr. Du in the past few months."

"How can Mr. Du speak Japanese dialect?" The officials of Honglu Temple became more and more surprised.

Lu Jiuyuan pointed to Watanabe Yamano: "Of course I learned from Master Watanabe and the others."

Seeing the officials of Honglu Temple looking at him, Watanabe Yamano clasped his hands together and recited a Buddha, saying: "Master Du is a genius, we have only stayed in Runzhou for half a month, and he can speak simple Japanese Communicate with us."

Du Jinning was admitted to the No. 15 Scholar at the age of [-], and the reputation of her photographic memory also spread along with the No. [-] Scholar. The officials of Honglu Temple naturally knew about it.Although he was still shocked after hearing this, he did not doubt that Master Watanabe and Lu Jiuyuan were lying - what good is lying?But a language.

But this incident also proved from the side that Du Jinning really has a photographic memory. The officials of Honglu Temple took this incident as a legend and told their colleagues and family members about it. It didn't take long for this incident to reach Zhao Wei's ears.

Zhao He didn't think much about it, and said with emotion to Qi Bokun: "That kid is really smart. If only I could have such a smart brain."

"Under the whole world, is it the king's land; on the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers. The emperor is a sage, and only a genius like Du Jinning appears on the emperor's Enke and is used by the emperor." Qi Bokun flattered his ass with perfection.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhao Wei felt very relieved, and the little bit of jealousy and regret disappeared immediately.

Although officials in ancient times had a bath every ten days, there was no such thing as annual leave.Without an imperial decree, all officials are not allowed to leave the place where their official positions are held.

Du Jinning spent the New Year in Runzhou that year.The seedlings stopped growing in winter, and there was no film to cover the greenhouse at this time. Du Jinning's experiment had already stopped when the warm rice was harvested.

But no one knew that what she harvested in the experimental field next to the residences of Zhuangzi and Runzhou City was the first round of hybrid rice she had researched.Because she is standing on the shoulders of giants, directly cultivated with Yuan Longping's theory, and started research as early as in Guangxi Province. Although she has not planted it yet, she is very sure that this round of rice seeds is the one she wants. important hybrid rice species.If she had no idea at the beginning, she would not have given Zhao He and Qi Muyuan the word to give her three years to research new rice seeds.

Now a year has passed, and her rice seeds have been successfully bred.Next year, small-scale planting can be carried out, and more rice varieties can be cultivated at the same time.In the next year, it can be planted in a large area in Runzhou, and after success, it can be promoted in the entire Jiangnan area.This was her original plan.

However, after the autumn harvest, everyone else was free, and the research on rice seeds stopped, but Du Jinning was still very busy.She wants to take advantage of the slack to organize the construction of water conservancy projects.

She also took the time to look at the topography of Runzhou this year, and she has already figured it out, and even drew a topographic map.At this time, she drew the design drawings of the water conservancy project and took them to Guan Jiatian.

"You've been busy for a year, so leave these to us." Guan Jiatian felt sorry for himself as a junior.

Some people who don't know the truth don't know, they always feel that Du Jinning stays in her farm all day long, doesn't care about the affairs of the yamen, and is just an official who has nothing to do.

But Guan Jiatian and Tao Huahui knew how hard Du Jinning had been this year and how much he had contributed to farming.

The double-cropping rice was successfully planted. The early rice yielded four shi per mu, and the late rice reached a high yield of four and a half shi. One mu of field produced eight shi in a year, four times the previous two shi.Once double-cropping rice is planted on a large scale next year, they dare not imagine how much grain the entire Song Dynasty will have.

Although Du Jinning made great contributions, they also followed suit.

When Du Jinning's new rice seeds are researched, their three-year term will expire. With this performance, it is no problem to be promoted.

So now that Du Jinning wants to build water conservancy, Guan Jiatian and Tao Huahui are rushing to do it.

Du Jinning is not a person who likes to be brave, and at the same time, he also knows that Guan Jiatian and Tao Huahui need this achievement, so he didn't refuse, and gave them the design drawing, and said: "It must be built according to my drawing. This is also my experiment in farming. One of the content, whether it is good or not, you have to try it. This was also reported in front of the emperor at the beginning."
