For three days, Ye An and Fan Ziyuan did not leave the gate of Sinong Temple. Tieniu made a special trip to the nearest "Food for the Sky" to order meals in order to prevent his master from being exhausted, and delivered them on time every day.
Go to the Yamen.
Later, Qin Mumu got the news and made a special trip to send the best cook to the public kitchen of Sinong Temple, and asked people to bring fruits, vegetables and meat, so that Ye An and Fan Ziyuan could eat well.
People are like rice and steel. It is difficult to relax mentally under high-intensity work. The only way to supplement nutrition is when eating. Fortunately, these two people are young and can withstand such torture.
Three days later, the two of them seemed to have come out of seclusion. Ye An was still energetic, while Fan Ziyuan looked scary with his unshaven beard, but his face looked very good.
As for Zhou Guangzu and other small officials in charge of documents and account books, they had a hard time. Only then did they realize the power of Ye An and Fan Ziyuan. In just three days, they set up the regulations, ranging from the storage and distribution of fine seeds to the planning of fields.
From inside-out promotion to teaching agricultural officials, how to persuade farmers in Gyeonggi Road, how to teach farmers to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, and many other matters were all clarified.
Even how to turn over the soil, not to plant consecutive crops, and what other things should be planted in between were planned. Such efficiency really surprised Zhou Guangzu and others.
But the person who was most surprised this time was Ye An. He originally thought that Fan Ziyuan was still a little unsure about the overall plan. Who knew that he had underestimated the scholar-bureaucrats of this era. Almost all of them were social elites and grew up in the families of officials and eunuchs from scholarly families.
The one who gets up will definitely not be a nerd.
Fan Ziyuan had a very good overall view, and after discussing it with Ye An, there were almost no flaws. The overall plan was divided into a "three-step" plan for land promotion around Tokyo City, Gyeonggi Road promotion, and promotion throughout the Song Dynasty.
Whenever Ye An sees this plan, he always sighs that history is always surprisingly similar. Later generations made plans to strengthen the country and rejuvenate the nation, but the Song people used it to get rid of hunger. The Song Dynasty in this era
It is already the pinnacle of civilization and powerful enough.
Looking at the results of these three days, Ye An is very satisfied. There are countless details in the overall plan. They are reported in a simple and clear list. If the officials below still dare to say that they do not understand or have forgotten, it must be dereliction of duty.
.
The next step is to personally go to the fields to train the agricultural officers. In fact, these experienced agricultural officers are the foundation and strength of Sinong Temple.
Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!
This spring breeze is a time, the third solar term of spring is the awakening of insects, "spring thunder startles hundreds of insects, and all things begin to grow." During the awakening season, the spring air sprouts, and nature has new vitality. The spring thunder begins to wake up and hibernate underground to survive the winter.
of stinging insects.
From this day on, the seeds of hope will be planted into the soil. After spring plowing, they will go through summer tillage and usher in autumn harvest and winter storage. This is the labor wisdom summed up by the ancient Chinese ancestors.
There were only a few days left before the Jingzhe, and Fan Ziyuan planned to have Ye An's training regulations sent to the agricultural advisors in Tokyo City in advance, but the prerequisite was that engraving and printing would be carried out.
"Changsheng, this booklet has been compiled. You are the first to do it. I will send someone to the official study to print it. It will take a few days. Once it is printed, it can be sent to the agricultural officer of Tokyo City.
You can also teach the people under you! We can also rest for a few days...right?"
Although Fan Ziyuan was older than Ye An and had been at Sinong Temple for a longer time, in front of Ye An he always felt that he was talking to a chief official rather than a teenager.
Logically speaking, he is the senior!
There is no way, Ye An is extremely mature and well-rounded in both his words and deeds. Coupled with his special status as a prince in Yunzhong, and a bachelor who teaches officials all year round, it is difficult for Fan Ziyuan to feel like a senior in front of Ye An.
, instead subconsciously listened to Ye An's idea.
Especially in these three days, Ye An saw Fan Ziyuan's ability, and Fan Ziyuan also saw Ye An's ability. Complex and complicated things would always become orderly in front of him.
Even though he himself felt that there were so many things, Ye An listed them out in an orderly manner and presided over them clearly. In Fan Ziyuan's opinion, this was the ability and magnanimity that only a prime minister could have!
Seeing Ye An shaking his head slightly, Fan Ziyuan asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Ye An casually took the manuscript from Fan Ziyuan's hand and said with a smile: "How many days? It's too long. How many volumes do you want? I can make it for you in one day at most."
Fan Ziyuan asked strangely: "One and a half days? How many volumes must there be for the official saints, Chongwen Academy must collect them, and they must be given to the third division, Zhongshu's disciples... plus local officials... Let's print more than a hundred for the time being.
Register! It will take three to five days at least!"
Ye An looked at Fan Ziyuan strangely: "It takes so long for more than a hundred volumes? Engraving is a bit more troublesome, but it's not that big of a deal, right?"
Fan Ziyuan rolled his eyes and said: "Of course, the books for official saints do not need to be incense? The books for court officials can simply be printed? No need to frame them?!"
Since he was spending time on this, Ye An smiled and said, "More than a thousand volumes can be printed in ten days, ten thousand volumes can be printed in a month, and ten rough editions can be printed in the near future. Is that feasible?"
"A book can be published today?! Don't be ridiculous, we can't even make engravings today! Our book to encourage farmers has more than 10,000 words! The engraving will cost hundreds of yuan, one day?! It takes three days to complete it, just
I'd better say it as quickly as possible. Once it's carved and printed, it will take the fourth day to complete the book!"
Fan Ziyuan was a little dissatisfied with Ye An's bragging. Engraving and printing had been very mature in the Song Dynasty, but the speed was still limited. The official printing room was not so fast, not to mention that there were not many craftsmen with superb skills.
Ye An smiled mysteriously: "Then how about a banquet?!"
Fan Ziyuan laughed and said: "How can one meal be enough? Five meals at least!" Looking at Fan Ziyuan who jumped into the pit, Ye An shook his head slightly: "I am a little embarrassed to have to spend money on Brother Fan again.
"
Fan Ziyuan's expression changed, but when he thought of the difficulty of carving and the speed of the carving shop at home, he said proudly: "Don't scare me here! I might as well tell you that my home has a carving shop, and there is a fixed number of how many blocks a skilled craftsman can carve every day.
Yeah, you can't beat me!"
Tieniu couldn't bear to watch from the side, and whispered: "Master Hou, we can't stick to one person! After all, the Fan family has an old relationship with you. If Fan Shaoqing gives out five banquets at a time, I'm afraid he will have to live on a tight budget."
Fan Ziyuan glared at Tieniu dissatisfied and said: "What are you talking about? I can't even invite you to five banquets?! Eh? No, how do you know that I will definitely lose?!"
Tieniu finally nodded with confidence and said: "Master Hou, he is rich!"
"Nonsense, after all, we are from the Fan family. Even if we have no money to live on, we can still keep accounts. When the time comes, we can just go to the Fan family to collect the money. The Third Secretary Fan will not default on the debt..."
The conversation between Ye An and Tieniu's master and servant made Fan Ziyuan furious, but he didn't know that Tieniu really felt sorry for Fan Shaoqing. Five banquets were not cheap!
