No, he remembered that it was written in the book, what it was called.
Oh, there are two types of silkworms: first-born silkworms in three beds and second-generation silkworms in four beds.
However, he heard that young silkworms are extremely difficult to raise, and he was afraid of raising them to death.
In the future, I’d better find someone who specializes in raising silkworms.
…
On November 5th, it snowed for the first time in Youzhou, and the Central Plains had completely entered winter.
Luo Chen, who had been traveling abroad, returned to Longgang Academy and went directly to see Xie Yuan.
"Do you still remember everything I asked you to remember?" Xie Yuan pushed over a cup of hot tea and asked warmly.
"My Lord entrusted me, so I will remember it." Luo Chen nodded, took a few sips of tea to warm his hands, then took paper, ink, pen and inkstone and began to write.
Qi Yan happened to come to talk to Xie Yuanshou. When he saw Luo Chen coming back, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at his rapidly sliding brush.
The mountains, rivers and rivers in the painting have clear lines.
This is……
What a map?!
Qi Yan's eyes were shocked.
Soon, a perfectly completed map of Kantu entitled Langya came into Xie Yuan's eyes.
"Lord, how are you?" The young boy raised his chin proudly.
"Not bad." Xie Yuan praised sincerely.
When he first taught Luo Chen calligraphy, he accidentally discovered that Luo Chen had a good memory and good drawings.
So he asked Luo Chen to visit various counties and draw maps of various places.
In this era, the Kantu map was useless in the eyes of the common people, but in the eyes of the aristocratic families and the government, it was a very precious thing - it could come in handy when war came.
Luo Chen successively drew maps of Chenjun, Taiyuan, Pengcheng and other places.
After Xie Yuan read it, he asked him to draw it again, and by the way, he sorted out the copies of the ten thousand volumes of books and sent them to the Luo family in Longxi.
"Why did my lord send the Kan map and collection of books to the Luo family for collection?" Luo Chen was puzzled when he read the letter written by Xie Yuan.
"As the academy becomes more and more popular, I'm afraid it will make others jealous. If the academy is destroyed one day, I can't just watch these priceless treasures be destroyed."
Luo Chen nodded thoughtfully.
…
In the twelfth lunar month, the Zhongzheng of the county in charge of this mountain sent a letter asking Xie Yuan to recommend several people to become officials.
This was the first time Longgang Academy received a letter from Zhongzheng after Emperor Tianwu issued the imperial edict.
In previous years, because Xie Yuan's reputation was not famous enough, Longgang Academy was not taken seriously, and Zhongzheng did not pay attention to it.
But things are different now. Now His Majesty has spoken and Xie Yuan can be recommended. Naturally, he wants to please Xie Yuan.
After Xie Yuan read the letter, he thought about it and wrote down the names of three of his earliest followers, and then sent someone to deliver the letter.
Because it was an election within the county, it had to be sent to Dazhongzheng in Youzhou to make him a local representative, and then it was finally reviewed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
However, those with high rural status generally have a high starting point in officialdom, are promoted quickly, and are easily admired by others;
On the contrary, promotion will be slow and people will easily despise you.
Youzhou Zhongzheng wanted to send the election results to Chang'an before February, so after receiving the letters of recommendation from the counties in the state, he directly waved his hand and sent people to the government to test them personally.
Most of the children of big aristocratic families entered official positions directly after being crowned, so these letters of recommendation were all submitted by small families or other academies.
Zhongzheng himself was also elected by an aristocratic family. After asking the family's wishes, he chose one person for each letter, including Xie Yuan.
Then he compiled a roster and prepared to send people to Chang'an before the new year.
In this way, there will be enough time for the officials to inquire about various information about the recommended officials before the official election in March.
…
The New Year is approaching, and Chang'an is bustling at that time.
Not only to prepare for the upcoming New Year, but also to celebrate the prince's wedding.
Emperor Tianwu was worried that in a hundred years his crown prince would be weak and someone wanted to change his position, so he arranged a marriage for him.
His son, Sima Zhong, is already eighteen years old, and Xiang Guan has not gotten married for several years, for no other reason than that - because of his IQ, other aristocratic families look down on him and do not want their legitimate daughter to marry him, so they would rather marry each other.
There were also other aristocratic families who wanted to marry their daughters, so Emperor Tianwu chose from these aristocratic families.
After careful consideration, Emperor Tianwu finally chose the relatively obedient Taiyuan Wang family to marry him.
When the Wang family of Taiyuan heard that their family was going to have a concubine, they were so happy that they immediately found some of their legitimate daughters and sent the portrait to Chang'an.
Emperor Tianwu looked left and right, and finally settled on the second lady Wang who looked gentle and virtuous.
This little girl looks gentle and dignified, and she will be able to support each other with his son in the future.
The most recent auspicious day was February of the following year, so Emperor Tianwu decided to get married in February.
The wedding is approaching, and the Taiyuan Wang family has begun to prepare the dowry required for the concubine to get married - this is the first time for their family to have a concubine, so they must give enough face!
Due to the long distance from Chang'an to Taiyuan, the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan discussed with Emperor Tianwu and took his family to temporarily live in Chang'an, planning to wait until the prince got married before leaving.
And because of the birth of his concubine, the head of the Wang family was conferred the title of second-grade founding uncle by Emperor Tianwu, and was given the title Chengde.
In addition, Emperor Tianwu selected several other children of the Taiyuan Wang family with weak titles and asked them to become officials.
For a time, the descendants of the Taiyuan Wang family became popular figures in front of Emperor Tianwu, attracting the envy of other aristocratic families.
They wanted to secretly target the Taiyuan Wang family, but when they thought about their marriage to the royal family, they had the royal family's backing - although they could show off to the royal family, they were the emperor after all, and they couldn't completely disobey them.
Forget it, the election of officials will be held in March, so just let the descendants of the Wang family in Taiyuan choose a few less.
Emperor Tianwu had no idea that by choosing the seemingly honest and honest Wang family of Taiyuan to marry him, he was actually inviting a wolf into the house.
Of course, this is all a story for later.
…
In the twelfth lunar month, letters of recommendation from various places were sent to Chang'an and handed over to the Ministry of Officials.
Emperor Tianwu looked at the memorial, thought of something, and asked the official: "Is there anyone recommended by Longgang Academy in Youzhou?"
"Your Majesty, yes."
The official bowed and pointed to a person's name.
Emperor Tianwu looked at the name and thought of Xie Yuan, and then of the Qi family who had fallen from a prominent family to a poor family.
The guilt in my heart came out again.
That's all, they are just a few children from a poor family, and there is no harm in being some officials below the sixth rank.
"This son can become an official." Emperor Tianwu pointed to the name.
The official understood, bowed and said: "Here."
Just as he was about to leave, Emperor Tianwu stopped him again——
"Wait a minute."
The official bowed his waist and bowed.
"In the future, any letters of recommendation sent from Longgang Academy will be eligible for official service." Emperor Tianwu said calmly.
In this way, it can be regarded as making up for his guilt towards the Qi family.
At that time, he had also heard about it, but because he was afraid of Qi Jing's rights, he subconsciously felt that he was collaborating with the enemy and treason.
Now that I think about it, for someone like Qi Jing, it is more credible to say that he can embroider than to say that he is a traitor to the enemy.
Emperor Tianwu couldn't help but feel regretful when he thought about it.
How could you not feel sorry for losing a general who was like a god of war like this?
