Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 177
In fact, artificially cultivating mushrooms is a very simple matter, but the complicated thing is simulating the conditions and climate for mushroom reproduction.Therefore, after artificial cultivation of wild mushrooms in certain areas, they cannot be promoted to the whole country like enoki mushrooms, oyster mushrooms and other popular mushrooms.After many wild mushrooms are artificially cultivated, they can only be sold as processed products, such as the series of finished products of many wild mushrooms in Yunnan.

Xue Lang said happily: "My sage, in fact, artificially cultivating mushrooms is actually a very simple thing, as long as you understand the principle, it is very easy to do. The most difficult thing is to simulate the environment and climate in which mushrooms grow. As long as the environment and climate After the simulation, the mushrooms will naturally grow!"

The sage nodded and asked, "What is simulation?"

Xue Lang had no choice but to explain what simulation is.

Seeing that Xue Lang spoke clearly and logically, it was obviously not aimless, the sage said with a smile: "Looking at the attitude of the Qing family, it must be sure, so I will wait for the Qing family to offer fresh mushrooms to me in winter!"

Xue Lang responded loudly: "Here!"

The King of Qin expressed his feelings and said: "Looking at the faction of Duke Xue, if you come to the foreign country you came back to, the farming skills must be very good, and the way of teaching and educating people must be unique, so Fang Xue Jun is such a knowledgeable and versatile talent?"

King Qin's observation ability is so keen, he can always find the vital points before his father and brother, and see things that they can't see.This is really talent!
Xue Lang secretly coveted Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, the admiration in Li Yuan's eyes did not have time to back down.Li Jiancheng lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, but he shouldn't be happy after all.As a mortal, I was always surrounded by a genius to set off my stupidity... His Royal Highness really has a good mental quality!
If Xue Lang was made to look like an idiot by comparisons every day, he might have given up on himself long ago!So, it's not that Li Jiancheng is not outstanding, nor is he a really stupid person, it's just that being compared with a genius brother... There is no harm if there is no comparison.

Xue Lang suppressed the wild thoughts in his heart, and replied: "Since the king of Qin wants to ask, then I will say a few words. Agriculture has been the foundation of the country since ancient times. This is a national policy, and the status of this policy will not be there even after a thousand years. The so-called food is the most important thing for the people, and food safety is the top priority."

Food security is a national strategic security.Not to mention the ancient times when food was scarce and there was no food and clothing. Even in modern times, food production is an industry that is highly valued by the state, so it has always emphasized the maintenance of the red line of arable area.As a large country with a large population, my flower planter is not self-sufficient in food and relies too much on imports, it is tantamount to directly giving the neck to others.

Xue Lang said: "In a foreign country, agriculture is a specialized field of study, and many people study and study it. Some people study how to increase the yield of seeds, some study the improvement of farming techniques, and some study how to improve the ability to resist diseases, insect pests, drought and floods. Technology, etc., agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry are all researched by special personnel. There are even special personnel who frequently go to the countryside and go to the fields to teach ordinary people how to cultivate and manage the fields better, and apply the results of research to practice to increase production. Effect."

"Is it appropriate for my Tang Dynasty to adopt this strategy?"

Except for King Qi, the sage, prince, and King Qin all looked at Xue Lang eagerly, waiting for his answer.Xue Lang thought for a while, and said: "Based on what I have seen and heard after returning to the Tang Dynasty, the foundation has not yet been reached. First of all, the farming technology is backward and there is no pattern; almost all have their own experience. The crops grown by ordinary people are quite different. Second, the people’s wisdom has not yet been enlightened, and there are still too few literate people! Throughout ancient and modern times, there have been several agricultural books. It does not mean that agricultural books do not record excellent farming methods. There are records in the book. It can be said that as long as you read the agricultural book through and combine it with reality, it is not difficult to get rich, not to mention getting rich. However, even such a practical agricultural book is not widely spread. In the final analysis, it is still There are too few literate people!"

Elimination of illiteracy and literacy for the whole people is a huge project. Not to mention the current Tang Dynasty, it has not been achieved even in the modern era when the economy is developed in later generations.After all, learning cultural knowledge is a very subjective thing. If someone doesn't want to learn, it is impossible to force them to learn.

Xue Lang concluded: "The so-called governance of a big country is like cooking a small fish. Even if the policies and measures that have contributed to the country, it is not a matter of a day or two to implement and produce results. Especially the matter of teaching and educating people and opening up the wisdom of the people is even more important. It is the water-milled kung fu of water-milled kung fu, which requires the efforts of several generations to be effective."

Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "It is imperative to unleash the wisdom of the people. My generation can't finish it, and my descendants must continue to promote it. I hope that one day, everyone under the rule of the Tang Dynasty will have enough food to fill their stomachs. Everyone has clothes to warm up. Can the prince remember that?"

A gleam of joy flashed across the eyes of the prince, and he immediately saluted solemnly: "I remember it! When I go back, let the saint's words be engraved on the plaque and placed in the main hall. Watch it every day to remind myself that I will never forget it! "

King Qin respectfully said: "The same is true for my ministers."

Seeing this, the king of Qi followed suit and said: "The same is true for my sons and ministers, never forget the sage's teachings."

"Great!"

The saint nodded in relief.

Xue Lang was a little confused as to how to go from planting mushrooms to enlightening people's wisdom. However, it is a good thing that Emperor Li Tang and his son have ambition. If the emperor has no ambition and indulges in pleasure, the country will be over!

"Report! Urgent report! Urgent report at Baibali!"

It is an inspirational scene of father, son and brothers working together to build a family and country, and an urgent report breaks the existing scene.Xue Lang yelled inwardly that it was a pity, and looked at Li Yuan——

The saint's face straightened, and he shouted directly: "Submit it!"

Xiao Huangmen hurried out immediately, brought in the urgent report, and presented it to Li Yuan.Li Yuan took it, tore off the wax seal, and read the letter. After only a few glances, his expression changed, showing a look of shock——

The king of Qin immediately asked: "If you dare to ask the saint, what news is it?"

With a sullen and worried face, Li Yuan said: "The Turkic Jieli Khan led 15 troops to knock on the Yanmen Gate, and has entered the Yanmen Pass, disturbing Bingzhou; another tribe disturbed Yuanzhou, and the Great Earthquake Pass fell! Putting up the Xuanzheng Hall, the servant inside Ring the bell and summon the princes to discuss matters!"

"Here!"

The little yellow gates in the hall immediately got busy.

In addition to the Turks who followed Liu Heizai to make chaos everywhere, Jieli Khan, the biggest danger, also came!I don't know what's going on with Her Royal Highness?Looking at the battle report, it seems that Turkic has not passed, but I still don’t worry——

We must finish the business in Beijing early, and then go back to Weizeguan as soon as possible!Xue Lang was really worried if he didn't watch it himself.

Full of thoughts, he followed the saint to the Xuanzheng Hall.After the bell rang throughout the city, it took less than half an hour, and all the officials in the middle of the capital who held rank five or above were all dressed in official robes and gathered in the Xuanzheng Hall.

"The court meeting begins!"

The little yellow gate shouted, and the officials saluted Li Yuan: "I have seen the saint, all blessings to the saint."

"Your family is exempt from courtesy."

Li Yuan turned his head to look at the little yellow gate: "Read the urgent report just received to all the ministers."

"Here!"
