"Xinnong, are there any other shortcomings in Kunming now?" Ruan Yuan also asked in passing.

"The current situation in Kunming is not bad, but there is one thing that makes me a little worried." Yilibu looked at the lake and said to Ruan Yuan: "We have a total of two granaries in the capital of Yunnan Province. In recent years, there have been no major disasters in Yunnan.

, so the warehouses are always sufficient, but these two large warehouses are outside Kunming. In other words, if a group of thieves suddenly appeared and attacked Kunming, it would be easy for the thieves to easily occupy the granaries and there would be no food available in the city.

, if that were the case, it would be terrible. But there is also a problem in Kunming city, that is, the land in the city is too low-lying. If a granary is set up in the city, the grain will rot easily, so it is useless to store grain like that? So... Xiaguan has always been

No surefire solution has been found.”

"In this case, I have an idea. I named it 'One meter is enough to make two grains'. Farmers can listen to it. If it is useful, we will build a granary in the city." Listening to Yilibu's explanation of the situation of the granary

After describing the description, Ruan Yuan also had an idea and said: "When I was in Guangdong, I inspected granaries in many coastal counties. Many granaries there did not store rice, but millet that had not been grinded and threshed. This is because it is close to

The humidity in the sea is heavier than here, so storing grain and rice will rot easily, but unthreshed millet is different and can be stored for a long time. Since it is not easy to store grain in the city, this method can be used. We can make a decision first

...just one hundred thousand shi. The one hundred thousand shi of grain and rice collected nearby can be changed to the collection of rice. It can also be divided into three to four years. Twenty to thirty thousand shi will be enough to be put into the warehouse every year. In this way, the people will only hand over the millet, without pounding the rice, or using it.

Picking, the government's 100,000 stone grain can produce about 50,000 stone rice. The Kunming granary has 50,000 stone rice in reserve. Even if there is an emergency, it can last for several months. It is a matter of convenience for the government and the people. Where to build the warehouse...

…There is still open space over the west gate, how about building a granary there?”

"Ruan Zongzhi, this is a good idea, isn't it? Since the Zongzhi has already had experience, I will go and build the granary after I return!" Iribu immediately asked Ruan Yuan for help.

Soon, Ruan Yuan and Yilibu chose a highland in the west of Kunming City and built fifty granaries called "Taipingcang". It is expected that within three years, one hundred thousand dan of grain will be stored in the granaries. In this way

Now, Kunming's food reserves have become more abundant.

Since then, Ruan Yuan has gone one step further with regard to the originally stable copper policy, allocating part of the remaining money from the treasury to increase subsidies for copper transporters. Seeing that Yunnan's border defense, salt policy, copper policy, and warehousing have all improved greatly

, Ruan Yuan thought that it had been six years since he last visited Beijing, and whether it was according to the rules of the governor or to thank Daoguang for being a doctor to his second son, he should go to the Hajj at this time, so he prepared to go north. It happened to be here.

At that time, a letter from Kong Luhua's family was also sent to the Yunnan Governor's Court. The letter stated that everything was safe in Yangzhou. However, after the letter, there was also a short note with a seven-character quatrain written on it:

It is planned to enter the old forest of Beijing and Hua, but it is not expected that the Dian Sea will be separated for a long time.

I have a bag of tips, but I feel that there are few new poems, and my gray hair is still worrying about old illnesses.

It's hard to let go of the music in thousands of miles of rivers and lakes, but the wind and rain on the first floor only stop the piano.

I don’t have much to say to express my gratitude to you, but I can only express my sincere heart to the Emperor’s heart.

"Madam... I don't want to say goodbye to Dashu. It's been more than two years now..." Ruan Yuan couldn't help but shed tears when he looked at his wife's familiar handwriting.

Thinking of what Tang Qingyun said to him, Ruan Yuan also had an idea in his mind:

"Perhaps, only when Madam comes back can the knot in Gu Xia's heart be truly untied?"

At the beginning of September, Ruan Yuan went to Guizhou for a military parade and asked to go to the imperial court. Soon, Daoguang also approved Ruan Yuan's proposal to enter the imperial court. Ruan Yuan changed his route to the east after the military parade and went south along the river, preparing to enter the canal.

Heading north to the capital. Before heading north this time, Ruan Yuan also specifically informed Ruan Hu and Qian Derong that they would go to Beijing with him. After entering the capital, Ruan Hu would be able to study in the Six Studies in the following year and complete the ten-year walking period as soon as possible.

By the beginning of November, Ruan Yuan's boat had arrived in Jiangning. Thinking that Daoguang only allowed him to enter the palace within the year, and there was still enough time, Ruan Yuan also planned to temporarily dock in Jiangning for two days and go ashore to visit the bookstore. On this day, Ruan Yuan arrived at the largest store in Jiangning.

In a bookshop, seeing that there are four complete collections of classics and history, Yunnan is located in a remote place, and there are only a handful of people famous for collecting books. Many books are not even found in the province. Ruan Yuan can't help but sigh, thinking about reading books.

, or Jiangnan is the most convenient.

While browsing casually, a new book suddenly appeared in front of Ruan Yuan. The style and name were something he had never seen before. He thought it was a new book compiled by Jiangnan literati who had been in charge of Yunnan for two years. Ruan Yuan looked at it curiously.

, I casually took out a box and saw that the book was quite rich in content. There were eight boxes in the whole book. I was even more surprised. I wonder who in Jiangnan compiled such a large work.

Looking carefully at the book box, there are six small characters in regular script: Dynasty Jingshi Wenbian.

Ruan Yuan seemed to be quite interested in "Essays on Managing the World..." because although the land he had previously supervised had farmland, water conservancy, and works on etiquette and criminal law, the entire book was titled "Essays on the World" and he dared to use the word "Emperor".

The words "Wenbian" and "Wenbian" have never been seen before. In the late Ming Dynasty, Chen Zilong also edited the book "Ming Jingshi Wenbian", but the word "Dynasty" can be used in publicly published books. It can be seen that

The content should be a work written by someone from the Qing Dynasty. When he opened the book box and looked through the catalog carefully, Ruan Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up:

"Please restore the deficiencies and adjust the post office. The officials in the capital must use the order. Please accommodate the suspension of conquests and discuss the military methods... This is..." As he looked at it, two familiar chapters appeared in front of Ruan Yuan's eyes: Shang and Zhou Dynasties

The theory of bronze weapons and the theory of weapon power of Shang and Zhou dynasties.

"This is an article I wrote in the past. Could it be..." Ruan Yuan saw that there were his own works in the article, and flipped through the table of contents one by one. Sure enough, the Maritime Examination, Ren Zhaocai, Jingzhou Jiaojinzhou Examination, etc. were familiar to him.

His names also appeared in front of him one by one. He could see from the front and back that there were fifteen articles with his name on them, which were exactly the fifteen articles he left for Wei Yuan in the capital six years ago.

"Could it be Mo Shen..." Ruan Yuan looked at the catalog in his hand, but also thought that maybe Wei Yuan had already published the engraving of his "Book of Classics".

Shopkeeper Si asked: "Shopkeeper, do you know who wrote this "Dynasty Classics"? With such a long article, the person who compiled it must not be an ordinary person, right?"

"Haha, the old gentleman has really good taste." Of course the shopkeeper didn't know that the person in front of him was actually a feudal official. Seeing that Ruan Yuan was only dressed in civilian clothes, he thought he was an old scholar and smiled at Ruan Yuan: "This book

I heard that it was compiled by He Changling, the current Chief Minister of Jiangsu Province. That’s why a new book has been published these days, so we put it in such a conspicuous place. However, I heard that it is not complete to be able to complete such a book.

It is Mr. He's one-man effort. There is a staff member named Wei in Mr. He's curtain, who is the real editor-in-chief. What do you think, old man, do you want a set? It's cheaper for you, eight taels of silver is enough.

"

"Okay, then I'll buy a set." Ruan Yuan responded immediately and quickly took out a few small ingots of silver from his arms. This sentence shocked the shopkeeper, who was able to offer to buy the book on the spot.

And he was the first to take out a full amount of cash immediately.

"It seems that Mo Shen has accomplished a big thing..." Ruan Yuan was still immersed in the book and did not see the shopkeeper's expression.

Although Ruan Yuan took this book on board the ship, the "Dynasty Classics Collection" also had a full 120 volumes. Ruan Yuan read it when he had some free time while sailing, but it was not until twenty days later that he read it.

After finishing the reading, it was already early December, and Ruan Yuan had already arrived in the capital by boat. Thinking of his old students, who had seen Gong Zizhen and other disciples in the past, and whom he had not seen for six years, Ruan Yuan also asked Ruan Changsheng to meet Ruan Changsheng.

Hu made an appointment with Tang Jinzhao, Wang Yinzhi, Gong Zizhen, Yu Zhengxie and others to gather together again in the Yangzhou Guild Hall. In addition to giving lectures and discussing Taoism, they also listened to old affairs in Beijing.

At this time, Tang Jinzhao had been promoted to the Minister of Rites, and Wang Yinzhi was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Works. He was more famous among Ruan Yuan's students, and naturally served beside Ruan Yuan. Ruan Yuan thought of Wei Yuan helping He Changling edit the book, and smiled at Tang Jinzhao:

"Dunfu, your student named Wei Moshen is very good. He studied together with He Fantai in Jiangsu and compiled a 120-volume "Dynasty Jingshi Wenbian". This student you admitted in Hunan was

Student, can this be regarded as giving you credit?"

"Yes, Mr. Ruan, Brother Mo Shen has fulfilled a dream of mine this time." Gong Zizhen also added on the side: "Nowadays, in the capital, the number of scholars who are devoted to the management of the world is becoming more and more important.

More and more, our Xuannan Poetry Club is becoming more and more lively. Everyone thinks that they can help the country with their common people, but they often don’t know how to start. This time, although Mo Shen is following He Fansi

I have been repairing books, but I have finally completed this book that governs the world. From now on, when literati talk about political affairs, they will naturally be justified!"

"Well... I think it's good that you are interested in paying attention to state affairs. But there is one thing you must keep in mind." Ruan Yuan has been an official for forty years at this time, and his views on Chinese and foreign political affairs are naturally far better than those present here.

Everyone also knew that Wei Yuan's book revision actually had some shortcomings, so he said to everyone: "Ding'an just said that his words are well-founded. This principle is very good and can be used to handle political affairs. The truly useful basis is not the articles written by predecessors.

, but the result of on-the-spot investigation. Previous articles, for example, I saw some articles about rivers and canals and water conservancy. In fact, some of them were written by courtiers decades ago. What is the local mountain topography and water potential, and whether the river channels have changed.

, do you know whether the acres of land have been cultivated or not? What’s more, some of the predecessors did not seek truth from facts. Occasionally they heard something from hearsay, and then they went to the memorial to ask for their names. There are not many such people. Go and see them.

What I wrote is nothing but fallacies. Where is the basis? So I think that if you really want to understand the political affairs of the province, you might as well go to the provinces and counties to have a look and know the real situation. This is the real truth.

The words are well-founded. Taking the so-called articles about managing the world, but just sitting here and talking about it, it is just empty talk, and it is actually useless? In my opinion, the key to the so-called "managing the world and applying it" is still 'practice'

These two words claim to be practical and practical, but they can't even carry out on-the-spot investigation. That's just for the sake of fame. Do you know this section clearly?" After saying that, Ruan Yuan also took a pen and paper and put "Practice into practice"

"The two characters are written on the paper to show everyone present.

"Students naturally know what Mr. Ruan said. In fact, I, Ding'an, and Jiaoyun all want to pass the imperial examination early, so that they can be awarded the title of officer in the sixth division, or they can go out of the capital.

How can you be a magistrate and be useful to the world? It's just that... the students are really ashamed. It has been six years since the last time you left Beijing. In this test, a few of us... still haven't mastered the Chinese style.
Chapter completed!
