The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 346 Printing Agricultural Books

"You just wait for me!" Cheng Fulang stared and said fiercely, but he was very careful to help Lin Xiazhi walk in.

As soon as they entered the room, they greeted Cheng Zhang and Lin Xiaodong, who were taking care of Lin Xiazhi at home, and asked about Lin Xiazhi's recent situation, and carefully asked what Lin Xiazhi was doing at home.

After hearing what Lin Xiazhi was doing every day recently, Cheng Fulang glared at Cheng Wenliu, this guy took care of his husband like this, it was really outrageous.

When Cheng Fulang entered the house, he found that the house was no different from before he went out. It must be the credit of Lin Xiazhi to manage the house like this, which made Cheng Fulang love Lin Xiazhi even more.

Feeling sorry for Lin Xiazhi's imminent delivery and worrying about these little things, Cheng Fulang immediately took care of all the chores, and asked Cheng Apa and Cheng Wenliu to quickly hand over the matter of the full grain warehouse and the soap workshop. In just one day, they were back to before they went out to find Cheng Luanjing s arrangement.

Lin Xiazhi returned to the state of doing nothing at the beginning, and he was concerned about giving ideological education courses to the family members in charge.

According to the arrangement of the division of labor, Father Cheng and the stewards are in charge of outside business, and the family members of the stewards belong to the backyard, so it should be arranged by Cheng Fulang.

So, after Cheng Fulang finished a paragraph about Cheng Zhai, Lin Xiazhi approached Cheng Fulang to discuss it.

Lin Xiazhi's idea was very interesting. Cheng Fulang looked through the new education outline that Lin Xiazhi had compiled.

The above mainly records two aspects of content. On the one hand, it is for the husbands in charge. In addition to teaching illiterate husbands to read and take ideological education classes, it also provides several learning opportunities for the husbands in different directions. Let them play their strengths and kill extra time.

On the other hand, it is the children of the housekeeper. Lin Xiazhi proposed a set of nine-year quality education ideas of three years plus six years.

In the past, the steward's husband took care of the steward's children when they were young, and sent them to private schools, schools and other places to learn to read and write when they were a little older. Father's hands to help, or go to other shops to learn.

In short, there is no systematic curriculum, so the level of children who grow up in this way is uneven. The smart ones can learn a lot, while the stupid ones can learn very little.

For example, in the main house of the Cheng family in Liaotai County, there are many things to do and many servants. They have a set of special procedures for teaching servants, but the Cheng family in Jiangning County cannot match the main house in terms of size or population. Compared there, there is no need to apply the method of the main house.

Taking this into consideration, Lin Xiazhi's proposal has been simplified in many ways, because his purpose is not to train husbands and children to have the skills to do a certain thing, so there are not many procedural things. If Cheng Fulang follows what he said above Regulation operation, things are not complicated.

Although Cheng Fulang was very interested in Lin Xiazhi's proposal, he immediately criticized Lin Xiazhi with a stern face after reading it: "Brother Xia, didn't I let you rest, why are you still thinking about these things every day, thinking about things is so troublesome do you know."

"Ah, I came up with these slowly. I only write a little bit every day, and I really don't feel tired." Lin Xiazhi looked at Cheng Fulang flatteringly, "Ah, what do you think of the proposal I wrote above?"

In fact, Lin Xiazhi had already listed out the textbook outlines for ideological education and quality education, and just waiting for Cheng Fulang to nod, he took out the textbook outlines, and Cheng Fulang asked someone to fill in the contents of the outlines.

However, Cheng Fulang did not follow the route Lin Xiazhi envisioned. He closed the outline given by Lin Xiazhi and said earnestly: "Brother Xia, your proposal is naturally good, but now everything must be based on you and the child in your belly." Lord, let's talk about the things written on it when you can find time to arrange it."

At the beginning, Cheng Fulang wished Xia Ge'er would get rid of the housework after marrying in. Now that Xia Ge'er is pregnant, he has no choice but to take care of it. When Xia Ge'er's child is born, he is ready to live. The plan to live a leisurely life is to help look after the grandson when the young couple is busy at most, and don't plan to take care of these general affairs anymore. Let Xia Ge'er's proposal be done by himself.

Waiting for him to find time?Lin Xiazhi went through this sentence in his mind, and suddenly remembered that Ah Mo was a person who didn't want to be busy with these things. He instantly understood Cheng Fulang's intentions and almost choked himself.

"Brother Xia, don't get excited. I know you are looking forward to doing this. Don't worry, I will support you when the time comes!" Cheng Fulang patted Lin Xiazhi on the shoulder and returned the outline to him.

Over the years in Jingguo, apart from having to do it himself at first, he got used to bringing things up and handing them over to others. This was the first time he met Lin Xiazhi who returned like Cheng Fulang.

Lin Xiazhi was stunned, he didn't expect that he would shoot himself in the foot with a stone.

But come by yourself, Lin Xiazhi is not afraid, it is more convenient to go to battle in person and follow your own ideas!

August is a busy month, especially the paper mill and book printing workshop near the capital, where 20 agricultural books were printed on new paper at the request of the emperor.

At the end of August, the printing house finally printed these agricultural books, and the official post station sent these urgently printed agricultural books to all parts of the country, striving to have at least one copy in every village.

Liaotai County, which is closest to the capital, was the first to receive this special agricultural book. The name is very simple and rude, it is called "Basic Crop Planting Method [-]. Simple Edition", and a lot of content can be deduced from the name.

The first point - basic crops, which crops are the so-called basic?Since they are all basic crops, isn’t everyone able to grow them, so what’s the point of writing an agricultural book on them?

The second point - basic crop planting method one?It means that this is a series of books. After all, if there is one, there are two. The author must be very confident that he can write several books, so he dared to name it like this.

The third point makes everyone a little confused, why is it called the simple version?What is it compared to the simple version?

I don't understand the meaning of the title of the book. Everyone dare not criticize the book officially issued by the imperial court, so they continue to read who the author is.

Just below the title of the book, the author - Lin Huzi, Lishui County, Jiangning County, is printed carelessly.

This is a bit interesting. Lin Huzi is not a household name, but at least most farmers and officials know him.He has written agricultural books. It is rumored among the people that the god of agriculture descended to assist His Majesty to write agricultural books. This news attracts everyone's attention more than the strange title of the book.

Continue to look back, there are two big words on the first page: Overview.

There are only six columns below the overview, namely: rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, soybeans, and greenhouse vegetables, with numbers marked below each column.

People who read books can’t understand again. Rice and corn are crops. They know what does greenhouse vegetables mean? Greenhouse vegetables are also a basic crop?And why did they print the book like this, what do the numbers at the end mean?

Continue to look at the back, the first basic crop rice, the description in the book is simple and clear.

It is this simplicity, but it makes all the officials feel very uncomfortable. Usually, they are used to reading books and notebooks with carefully crafted words and sentences, but when they suddenly see such straightforward words, they feel that they don’t know these words. a feeling of.

Strange to say, when they endured the discomfort and continued to read, everyone gradually understood why the emperor ordered everyone to read this book.

Several officials from Liaotai County held Lin Huzi's agricultural book to discuss.

"This is an easy-to-understand agricultural book, and it really fulfills the basic two characters mentioned in the title."

"Everyone, take a look at the overview here on the first page, which lists the five crops written in this book and a method of growing crops in winter, and then look at the number called the page number below, do you understand the meaning of the overview. "

"Master Chu, if you don't tell me, I really didn't realize that there is a number at the bottom of each page. This is the page number? Where did you hear it? This is the first time I have seen it. This makes it easier to print books. Follow the overview Come find the contents of the book."

"Indeed, this typesetting is a great innovation in book printing, and it can be done like this when printing books in the future!"

Not only in Liaotai County, other local officials also quickly discovered that this book is different from other books after receiving the book. Some pay attention to the content of the book, and some pay attention to the layout of the book. The agricultural book successfully attracted the attention of all officials.

There was an order from the emperor, and the county guards did not dare to delay. On the day they received the book, they asked the people below to send the book to each county. The county magistrate sent the book to the town or the village directly under the jurisdiction of the county. All the villages received this special agricultural book in the fastest time.

Although everyone in Jingguo's village was able to read and write together like the people in Lin's Village, there were at least one or two Li Zheng or clan elders in each village who could read and write.

If the village is too remote and poor, the local officials will send a literate official to stay there for a month, teach the villagers the contents of the agricultural book, and ensure that they can cultivate the land according to the content of the agricultural book.

This move surprised and panicked the people in each village at first. The people and the officials are two distinct groups. To let the officials live in their own village for a month is like a bolt from the blue to those villagers.

But they soon discovered that the officials who lived in the village were not as cruel and terrifying as everyone imagined. They actually stayed behind to guide the people in their village to learn agricultural books and cultivate the land.

Learn agricultural books?They don't know a single big character and only know how to farm and work hard. Do they have a chance to learn agricultural books?Can they learn it?

With such doubts and apprehensions, villages around the world started the process of learning agricultural books.

Officials or Lizheng, clan elders, and private school masters lead the whole village to read aloud the contents of the book every day, once in the morning and at night. If you don’t understand, ask quickly. At the end of the month, you will check how everyone has learned.
