"Brother Zirou, what do you think? Are you willing to serve in the Prefectural Mufu?"
Chen Yuan's meaning is very clear. Your willingness to serve as an official means that you agree with these three policies.
If you are unwilling to serve as an official, it means that you do not agree and are unwilling to cooperate.
Of course Kuai Yue didn't want to. It's a joke. If you cut off my body, I will have to stay down and be a kid. You think too much.
Therefore, Quin Yue directly refused.
"The more talented you are, the less knowledgeable you are, and you may not be able to take on the important responsibilities of the prefectural pastorate. This disappoints Zichu."
When Chen Yuan heard this, he immediately laughed: "It seems that Brother Yidu has already made a decision?"
Kuai Yue is also a decisive person. Now that he has made a decision, he no longer regrets it.
His face was calm: "I know your ambition very well. If I am alone, I would like to support you. However, the family has a heavy burden and I dare not relax even a little bit. Please forgive me and Zichu."
He glanced at Kuai Yue and said, "Brother Yidu, don't you want to hear my terms?"
Kuai Yue waved his hand: "The three policies of the Prefectural Mufu are to shake our foundation. Can Brother Zichu let us build another foundation?"
Obviously, Kuai Yue did not believe that the conditions offered by Chen Yuan were enough for him to support Liu Bei at the risk of great damage to his family's interests.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan nodded: "If I say that I can build another foundation for the Kuai family, what do you think, Brother Yidu?"
Kuai Yue looked at Chen Yuan doubtfully.
What Chen Yuan said was too arrogant. Did he know what he was talking about?
Building another foundation for a powerful family is almost like creating another powerful family.
In times of great chaos, success may be achieved in a short period of time, but in times of peace, it requires long and hard work.
In today's world, we can talk about chaos or not, but we can talk about whether it can be cured or not.
Even so, it is very difficult to create another powerful person.
However, according to Kuai Yue's own observation, Chen Zichu was not an arrogant person.
"Just as Zi Chu can really reshape the foundation of our Kuai family, the more our Kuai family attaches importance to the envoy Jun Jiwei, doing the work of dogs and horses."
At this time, Kuai Yue was gambling again.
Their ancestor Kuai Tong was a political strategist with unparalleled eloquence and good at stating interests. He served as Han Xin's counselor and successively proposed the strategy of destroying Qi and dividing the world. After Han Xin's death, he was captured by Liu Bang and released without charge, becoming the Prime Minister of the country.
Cao Shen's guests.
It can be seen from this resume that Kuai Tong not only has excellent planning power, but also has advanced ability to protect himself.
Sima Qian's evaluation: "It's so bad that Kuai Tong's plan caused chaos in Qi and Huaiyin, and he killed these two people! Kuai Tong was good at talking about long and short, and he discussed the contingency of the Warring States Period, and he wrote eighty-one poems."
Naturally, Kuai Yue wanted to imitate his ancestors and take a gamble.
Kuai Tong bet on Han Xin, and Kuai Yue bet on Liu Bei.
Chen Yuan didn't know what Kuai Yue was thinking, so he said directly: "Does Yidu think there is an infinite amount of land in the world?"
Kuai Yue didn't know why Chen Yuan suddenly asked about this, but Kuai Yue still replied: "The world is divided into nine states, and there are naturally countless lands."
Chen Yuan nodded first, then shook his head.
Kuai Yue didn't know what he meant.
Chen Yuan explained: "There are countless lands within Kyushu, but there is endless fertile land outside Kyushu. Why is Yidu so short-sighted?"
Kuai Yue originally thought that Chen Yuan had some great ideas, but he didn't expect this.
Suddenly his expression changed: "Why are you teasing me, Zichu?"
Chen Yuan was puzzled: "Brother Yidu, where did you say this?"
Kuai Yue said with an ugly face: "Beyond Kyushu is a barbaric place. Where can the fertile soil come from?"
Chen Yuan immediately raised his forehead.
To be honest, this world is already a world transformed by demons. Strong people can fly in the sky, but for some reason, the Han people still haven't turned their attention to the broader world.
The most powerful one was the hollowing out of the Western Regions during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
It seems that the Han people are not very interested in the outside world by nature. As long as they can get along with Jiuzhou and bring the Western Regions under their control, they will never want to go out again.
Maybe in their minds, Kyushu is the center of the world, the center of the world, and other places are just barbaric places. What's there to go to?
Chen Yuan let out a long sigh: "Have you ever been outside Kyushu?"
Kuai Yue looked disdainful: "It's just a wild place, Yue Yue has never been to it."
"Since I have never been there, why do I think it is a barbaric land?"
"What the sages said is recorded in the classics."
Chen Yuan shook his head: "The words of the sages are indeed golden, but when it comes to matters outside the country, they are very biased and cannot be trusted."
Kuai Yue looked at Chen Yuan in surprise, "Good guy, you Chen Zichu are still a person who doubts the ancients and slanders the scriptures."
Chen Yuan met Kuai Yue's gaze and said: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing. Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. The combination of knowledge and action is the right way."
Ignoring the shock this sentence brought to the two brothers, Kuai Yue.
Of course I was shocked.
One sentence, three famous quotes.
Every famous quote is inspiring.
Especially the last two, they are famous quotes that have influenced the thinking of countless people.
The meaning of the last two sentences is actually the same. No matter how good it is, if it is not acted upon and tested with practice, it is all nonsense.
Therefore, practice can produce true knowledge, and the true knowledge derived from practice can be used to guide practice, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Chen Yuan took out a rice plant from his arms, which was Champa rice.
Chen Yuan raised the rice in his hand and said to Kuai Yue: "Do you know how many times a year this kind of rice can be planted, how many days it can be harvested, and what is the yield?"
Kuai Yue collected his shock and looked at the rice held up by Chen Yuan.
He didn't know why Chen Yuan wanted to show him the rice seeds, but the Confucian scholars of this era were not the rotten Confucian scholars of later generations who were industrious and indifferent to grains and grains. They knew all the five classics and six arts.
Kuai Yue also knew a thing or two about farmers.
After all, there were times when Kuai Yue had to preside over collecting rice from the fields. Kuai Yue naturally knew the rice that was often grown.
But the rice that Chen Yuan showed to him was different from ordinary rice.
Compared with ordinary rice, the ears are longer without awns and the grains are smaller.
This kind of rice naturally has a higher yield than ordinary rice.
Kuai Yue thought for a moment and said: "The yield of this rice is three levels higher than that of ordinary rice. As for how many times it can be planted and how many days it can be harvested, is it different from ordinary rice?"
Chen Yuan smiled and said: "This rice is upland rice. It is drought-resistant. It has long ears without awns and small grains. It grows on any land. It only takes more than fifty days from planting to harvesting. It can be intercropped with rice and wheat or double-cropping rice.
And the yield far exceeds that of ordinary rice.”
Hearing what Chen Yuan said, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang's eyes shone.
This is a divine thing.
If the fields of the Kuai family can be planted with this kind of rice, the Kuai family will surely become the most powerful tycoon in Jingzhou.
"What is the output?"
"The best fields can yield five stones per mu, the medium fields can yield five and four stones per mu, and the inferior fields can yield three stones per mu."
As soon as these words came out, the Kuai-Yue brothers were stunned.
You must know that the rice grown at this time, and the best fields can yield three stones per acre, is a blessing.
And this rice can be harvested from an inferior field for three stones, and it can also be planted in double crops and between rice and wheat. What is this not a divine thing?
