Chapter 461 I’m actually doing it for your own good(2/2)

The peasant family had already appeared during the Warring States Period. At that time, Mencius criticized the peasant representative Xu Xing, which led to some Confucian disciples abandoning Confucianism and joining farmers.

Later, Xu Xing led more than a dozen peasant children to wear straw sandals and make a living on mats, and grew the farmer gradually.

Later, the Qin State rose to develop the country through the farming and war system, which greatly improved the status of farmers, so that they had the opportunity to be the main school today.

However, after all, they are a group of people who deal with the fields all day long, so how could they be the opponent of those who mediate the temple like Confucianism and Law?

"The imperial examination is for the purpose of the state administration, and agriculture is for the country's rise and fall. I want you to come today, but I actually ask you for it." Zhao Kun said with a smile.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince asks us?"

The two old men looked at each other and looked at Zhao Kun with incredible expressions.

Zhao Kun smiled and said, "Recently, my father was particularly concerned about farming and wanted me to find some reliable helpers to complete a study together."

"What is the research?" Chen Xin asked curiously.

"You guys take a look at this first, and we will discuss it after reading it."

Zhao Kun said, taking out notes about hybrid rice from his arms and handing them over to the two old men.

The two old men took Zhao Kun’s notes with confusion and checked each other.

After a while, Chen Xin was surprised and whispered: "I didn't expect that we would be less knowledgeable than the few pieces of tissue paper of His Royal Highness the Prince. This is really a priceless treasure!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is a great talent!" Chen Xiang also looked at Zhao Kun with a bright look.

Zhao Kun smiled unanimously: "So, do you all understand?"

"I understand the theory in it, but no matter how good the theory is, it is impossible to say without practice." Chen Xiang stroked her beard and said.

"good."

Chen Xin echoed: "If you can take action, you may see the effect."

"Don't worry about the actions, do you really understand this theory?" Zhao Kun asked.

"hehe."

The two old men met and smiled and talked.

"We have studied crops for a lifetime. Although we are not as talented as His Highness, we can also learn from each other."

"The notes written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just solved our doubts, and even many things that we couldn't understand in the past were clear."

"As for hybridization, it's not difficult to understand."

"Well, it's not difficult."

Seeing that the two old men were full of confidence, Zhao Kun was still a little confused and asked again: "How do you understand?"

Chen Xin thought for a while and said, "The world and all things are nothing more than yin and yang."

"yin and yang?"

Zhao Kun was confused and subconsciously looked at Wang Xue.

Wang Xue pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything.

At this time, Chen Xiang shook her head and said, "There is a difference between men and women, and plants are also divided into male and female. Since men and women can give birth, plants can naturally produce them. This is the result of the yin and yang intercourse. All things in the world have this rule."

“That’s right.”

Zhao Kun nodded in agreement.

Chen Xin, who was standing aside, added: "Although this is the theory, it still needs practice."

"I understand what you mean, I just want to experiment?"

"We must not only experiment with fields, but also be proficient in farming and farmers must cooperate with us." Chen Xiang said.

“This is OK.”

Zhao Kun nodded and said, "But for the sake of confidentiality, you two have to take charge of the people who are in charge of the overall situation."

"But the autumn harvest is coming soon, will the farmland be destroyed?"

"How is this possible? Even if you have to experiment, you have to wait for the autumn harvest, and it won't take long."

Zhao Kun said, suddenly narrowing his eyes: "But the experimental place cannot be around Xianyang."

"Why is this?" Chen Xin asked in confusion.

"You guys think about it."

Zhao Kun frowned: "We are doing experiments, and it is possible that we will fail. If we get the attention of Xianyang and we fail in the end, wouldn't that be shameful?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is deeply loved by the people, and they will not blame you." Chen Xiang smiled.

"This is the metaphor."

Zhao Kun said helplessly: "And hybridization cannot be done in a short while. Maybe there will be no harvest in several years. Such setbacks cannot make the people of the capital lose their confidence!"

Chen Xin nodded: "It seems that this is the reason."

"So the experimental field cannot be around Xianyang."

Zhao Kun said seriously: "Farmers who are good at farming cannot use locals. After all, locals have a wide circle and may one day let them say something go."

"That's right." Chen Xiang echoed.

Zhao Kun continued: "So the experimental fields cannot be around Xianyang, and the farming farmers cannot use locals."

"It is best to open up a piece of land in Shu County and let farmers from other counties plant it."

Chen Xin blinked: "Then the money needed to reclaim land and mobilize farmers?"

"Of course it was the court who paid!"

"The final grains obtained also belong to the court?"

“Isn’t this nonsense?”

Zhao Kun rolled his eyes and said, "For such a scientific research project, the early investment is so large, and the money from the court is not blown by the strong wind, but if the experiment is successful, your farmers will definitely rise."

“It makes sense.”

Chen Xiang nodded: "That's the imperial examination?"

"Somewhat has passed." Wang Xue suddenly interrupted.

Zhao Kun was dissatisfied: "Talk too much, you are my secretary now. Just listen and don't interrupt."

Wang Xue was a little unhappy and could only sulk.

Zhao Kun ignored her and said, "For the farmers, this is a business that is profitable and you should understand."

Chen Xiang was puzzled: "But why does His Highness the Crown Prince trust us so much?"

"Because if you don't do it, no one in the world can do it."

Zhao Kun smiled confidently: "This kind of core technology requires professionals. Even if you make money from nothing and have no money, you can only rely on the Qin court, otherwise it will be a dead end."

Chen Xiang thought about it and found that this was the case.

"When hybrid varieties are born, Daqin's agriculture will reach its peak. How can your status as a farmer be lower than that of other families?"

Chen Xiang and Chen Xin nodded.

"So, you have no foundation and no profit, and the court is also beneficial."

Zhao Kun looked proud: "As long as this hybrid technology is promoted in Daqin, the whole world's grain production will increase by 50%. Daqin becomes rich, and you will succeed."

"This is a win-win situation." Chen Xin smiled while stroking his beard.

“That’s.”
