Jiangmen's direct daughter is busy farming

Chapter 319 The Grand Finale (10)
After Jingyue and Master Sun arrived at the academy, the students looked at her with curiosity and admiration, but also more puzzlement and doubts. They couldn't figure out that such a daughter of the Song family who had been in the boudoir for a long time and was said to be a fool, How could she grow into the most legendary woman in the Xi Dynasty in just a few years.

"Gentlemen and students, please help unload one cart from the carriages behind." Jingyue said to Master Sun and the others.

"Yes, Princess!" Mrs. Sun and the students had long been extremely interested and curious about the tightly wrapped carriages that came with Jingyue.

With the help of Lengshuang, Jingyue walked to the loaded carriage, pointed to the planter that was brought down by two students and was carefully built with wood, iron and a little copper, and said: "This is a new type of planter for sowing wheat. As long as you put the wheat seeds into the machine, and then a person supports it behind, and a cow or a person pulls it in front, the wheat will be planted neatly and evenly, and the survival rate of the wheat seedlings and the earing rate will be very high.”

Everyone looked at the planters on the carriage with curiosity, and each one seemed to want to touch it but dared not touch it, for fear that it would be damaged by the weight of their own hands.

The students can understand what Jingyue said about the "survival rate" and "earing rate", because Jingyue sent them a young teacher, and this gentleman can often hear Some novel words, and tell them some knowledge about farming, let them open their eyes.

"Princess, can we plant wheat in the fields today? We have plowed those fields according to the teacher's instructions, and we have applied the fertilizer long ago, and we are waiting for the wheat to be planted." Sun Liang, the son of Lord Sun, said anxiously.

Although Sun Liang is the son of a food official, he is also considered a well-known son of an official in the capital. He originally thought about taking the imperial examination for an official career, but his father forced him to enter the Royal Agricultural Academy.At the beginning, he was unwilling to live or die, and Mr. Sun personally escorted him to the academy to register.

Later, he reluctantly started to read books in the college, but the novel and interesting teaching methods of the Royal Agricultural College, as well as the textbooks and books he had never had access to, made him gradually curious about this place, even about himself. The father who has always been strict has also changed.

Since hearing his father accidentally talk about the new wheat seeds and planter yesterday, he, Zhang Yu's youngest son Zhang Bao, and other classmates are looking forward to today.Now that something finally appeared in front of them, they were all very excited and wanted to try it for themselves.

"Of course, but before that, I hope you can answer a few questions for me." Jingyue said with a smile.

"Princess, please tell me!" Sun Liang said obediently.

The other people present also listened attentively and wanted to hear Jingyue's question. After all, they also wanted to see for themselves what kind of talents and abilities this legendary princess of the Xi Dynasty had.

"What do you say the people are farming for?" Jingyue asked.

Everyone didn't expect that Jingyue's question would be so simple, and seeing that she didn't have the airs of a princess, she encouraged them to speak freely, so they all began to express their thoughts.

"I think that the common people are farming to fill their stomachs!" A student said first.

"People farm not only to fill their stomachs, but also to live a better life. If they can't run out of food, they can sell it and then buy some things they need!" Sun Liang said after a moment of thought.

"Also, if the people have planted the fields well, more food will be handed over to the country, so the soldiers will not be short of food and grass, and will be able to defend the country even more!" Zhang Bao raised his brows and said happily.

Every time the students gave an answer, Jingyue would nod in agreement, and when the students could think of no other reason, she asked again: "Then why do you study farming?"

"I like farming. As long as I plant my own field every day, I can enjoy the shade under the big tree and go fishing by the clear river. Isn't it a great joy in life." A student with a folding fan in his hand said pretendingly .

"There are a lot of barren fields in our area. I want to learn all my skills so that I can benefit the village when I return to my hometown." Said a generous-looking young man with a dark complexion.

"I was forced to come in by my father!" Sun Liang glanced at his father, found him glaring at him, and quickly explained, "But I am staying here voluntarily now, I like studying in the academy. The atmosphere, and the enthusiasm of everyone studying hard and plowing the fields together.”

"Father said that learning how to farm here can increase the yield of food, so I came here. I hope to learn some real skills and contribute my own strength to the people of the world and Xichao." Zhang Bao said shyly, But there is no doubting the sincerity of his words.

Jingyue nodded to Zhang Bao, and then said: "Actually, what you said is correct. If you want to plant an acre of land well, make this acre of land high-yield, and then obtain the greatest benefits, you must be inseparable from the most advanced planting technology." and seeds, farm tools that save labor and labor, pesticides that kill pests, and the hard work of farmers. But in the final analysis, people need a piece of land. You will go hungry, and the land cannot be controlled by only a few people, then something will happen to the country.”

Then, Jingyue looked at them again and said earnestly: "In time, you will become experts and experts in farming in this Xi Dynasty, and even the most advanced planting technology in the whole world will be in the hands of you people. At that time, you will It will become a sweet pastry in the eyes of the world. At that time, someone will promise you a high-ranking official and ask you to study the method of high-yield fields for him. What will you do? Maybe you will say that you can resist the temptation, but every time Everyone has weaknesses. Even if you care about money, power, beauties, or even piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it may become an opportunity for others to seduce you. I don’t want to hear your promises about what will happen in the future. I just hope that whenever you , you all have to remember that the emperor opened this Royal Agricultural Academy, and the gentlemen who work so hard to teach every day are for the sake of truly benefiting the world in the future and caring for the common people."

What Jingyue said made some of the people present bow their heads in thought, some had excited eyes, some nodded frequently, and some had embarrassing faces. Both the teacher and the students were more or less touched by her words .

Jingyue herself knew very well that what she said was just a reminder to them in advance that if someone really did something that would shame the academy in the future, first of all, she, the founder, would not spare him.

"Princess, what you said about 'benefiting the world and caring for the common people', I think I can invite the emperor to make it the school motto of our Royal Agricultural College." Master Sun hurriedly walked in front of Jingyue and said.

Since the establishment of the academy, Jingyue asked them to think about the school motto of the academy. After thinking hard for many days, they didn't think of something suitable, but Jingyue's words today inspired Master Sun.
