Chapter six hundred and fiftieth chapters to persuade agricultural officials
When a person hangs out in the court for a long time, he will naturally become a human spirit, there is no doubt about this.
This is true even for Fan Ziyuan, let alone Fan Yong, who is the third envoy.
He was completely taking steps back to make progress, forcing Ye An to make the technology of movable type printing public after making a wave of money, but he didn't know that this was exactly what Ye An needed.
Movable type printing seems simple. You only need to turn the original engraving into movable type. But in fact, the updating and upgrading of technology is the main source of Ye An's money. Movable type printing is very simple, but high-quality printing in large quantities is high quality and low price.
, a good strategy of small profits but quick turnover.
Fan Ziyuan didn't understand this, nor did he understand that Ye An and Fan Yong had just experienced a game. He only knew that Ye An's family knowledge was so amazing that he could even use movable type so well.
Anyone who is a scholar does not understand the importance of printing books. Whether the printing is good or not, and whether there are any ambiguities or errors in the book, these are all related to the quality of this set of books.
The "Two Agricultural Books" printed by Ye An in front of me is not only beautiful in appearance, but the handwriting inside is also neat and crisp, and it is also written in square Tang Kai script, so anyone who is literate can understand it.
"Potatoes should be divided into several pieces. Square inches are the most appropriate size. Place them in the field and sprinkle a little water..." Fan Yong said while nodding slightly. As expected, the content in the book is easy to understand, especially for farmers.
The officials tell the story to the people.
Closing the book gently, Fan Yong said with a smile: "I took this book away so that I can plant potatoes and sweet potatoes in the backyard when I go home! Remember to send someone to send a copy to the palace."
Seeing Fan Yong about to leave, Ye An quickly crossed his hands and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Fan, Ye An has prepared two books for officials and saints, and they will be sent to the palace when he gives lectures to officials tomorrow. I don't dare to forget them."
After taking a look at Ye An, Fan Yong nodded slightly and prepared to leave. When passing by Ye An, he whispered: "My nephew is the backbone of the old Fan family! Although he is not as good as you Ye An, he is also very talented and learned.
, if your knowledge of studying things can be taught to outsiders, you might as well..."
"Not an honor!"
Ye An's words made Lao Fan Xi smile. He patted his shoulder and turned to Fan Ziyuan and said, "Study hard! Don't dare to live up to my family's education!"
Fan Ziyuan beside him was still confused at first, but then he nodded in surprise. In his opinion, the study of objects was Ye An's family study after all, and he couldn't just study at will. He didn't expect Ye An to agree so happily when his uncle opened his mouth.
.
After Fan Yong left, Fan Ziyuan squeezed Ye An familiarly: "I thought you were going to show off your self-esteem, but why did you relent this time and teach others the art of studying things?"
Ye An laughed loudly: "Who said I want to destroy my own treasure? The official family has learned the study of studying things, and originally planned to promote the study of studying things in the capital, but there is no way, not only to teach you, but also to my Zhuangzi
I also want to teach the craftsmen. If you want to learn, go to Yezhuang outside Tokyo every five days, and I will teach you there. Don’t forget to teach."
Fan Ziyuan curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "We brothers still need to repair each other. You kid is really a gold-eating beast. All you can think about is money and hysteria!"
Ye An chuckled: "A gentleman loves money in a proper way. Why, can't I make money according to the law? Oh, by the way, you lost the bet, and even one of the five banquets is essential!"
"It turns out that there is no businessman and no traitor!"
"You have to be careful when you say this. Which of the wealthy families in Tokyo doesn't have a shop? Even your Fan family has a study business? Why don't you even spare your own house?"
Fan Ziyuan touched his forehead helplessly: "I find that talking to you can sometimes make me angry to death. Your mouth is never forgiving!"
"Brother Fan, thank you, thank you!"
After the two bickered for a while, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. From today on, Sinong Temple's promotion of improved seeds will move from theory to practice.
Zhou Guangzu summoned all the agricultural officials affiliated with Sinong Temple. Among them were some old people with slightly white beards, and of course more of them were strong middle-aged people. It can be seen from their vicissitudes of life that these people
It is really exposed to wind and sun every day, and it is in contact with the land all year round.
"These people are the last members of our Sinong Temple. Since Taizu, the authority of our Sinong Temple has declined. Only these agricultural officials have not been touched, and even the annual rewards from the court have not been withheld."
Ye An was not surprised. After all, agricultural officials were a different kind of existence in the Song Dynasty. Wang Yuan had long heard that they were all descendants of the farming family. They were very familiar with farming and had read books, so they were suitable for this position.
, but once they become agricultural officials, they have official status, but for some reason they have no hope of promotion in the court. The only guarantee for them is to ensure harvests due to droughts and floods.
This official position is actually used to win over those low-priced officials. As for why low-priced officials need to be wined over... people who die for the country still have value after all.
Although it is a face-saving project, we have to admit that these agricultural officers are really good at farming. When the "Good Breed Farming Book" was distributed to them, these agricultural officers discovered for the first time that they could actually do it.
To get such a book and such treatment.
"You are all the agricultural officials of our Sinong Temple, and you are also the humerus of our Sinong Temple! The country puts the people first, and the people regard food as their first priority. You have already seen the huge yield per acre of fine seeds in the official fields of Sinong Temple.
After all, if such a good seed is promoted throughout the world, it will be a blessing to the country and the people! There is no need for me to say anything about the heavy burden you shoulder!"
Although Fan Ziyuan's words were simple, they made the farmers' persuasion officers present extremely excited. For no other reason, these people had always been the "old people" in Sinong Temple who could neither get up nor get down. Naturally they knew their duties. In the past, they had been persuading farmers near Tokyo City.
, teach farming techniques, observe the farming season and the moisture in the land, but it is different now. The emergence of improved seeds is the auspiciousness of the Song Dynasty. No one knows its significance better than them, and they will definitely be rewarded by the court, and maybe there will be
There's no telling when he will start out.
Ye An's task was to strike while the iron was hot. Seeing the mood of these persuading agricultural officials, he stood on the steps and said: "You are also some old people in our Sinong Temple. Although they are not high-ranking officials with generous salaries, you are a saintly official.
I have never looked down upon you. Even when the late emperor's great deeds made the whole country mourn and the expenses were reduced, your salary was never withheld! Now that you have contributed to the country by promoting good seeds, the saints and officials will be generously rewarded! You should encourage each other!
"
This was a more direct expression of interests. Although it made Fan Ziyuan feel a little uncomfortable, the farmers' advisors present were extremely excited.
Sometimes you have to use the most direct language to explain something powerful, so as to encourage others to believe you. What's the use of using so many "small words and big ideas" to explain something rationally and move emotions? It's better to tell them directly what the benefits are.
The best way to persuade these agricultural officials is to use inducements and inducements. These people have long passed the age of "angry youth". It is far less practical to use the temptation of interests to move them with the ideals and ambitions of serving the country and the people.
