- Hanzhu Academy, Library.
As expected, after the end of the debate, many people came to borrow books in the first two days, and they all borrowed various works of Zhu Xi.
But starting from the third day, the number of teachers who read books gradually decreased.
Five days later, there were only a few people left.
Carefully returning "Zhu Zi Yu Lei", Liu Ziren put away the copied content, clasped his fists and said, "Students, I will leave first. Today I harvest sweet potatoes (sweet potatoes) at home, and I have to rush to work in the field."
"Since we have farming work, we can't delay," Zhao Han also put down his book and said, "I just have nothing to do, so I'll go down the mountain to help."
Liu Ziren repeatedly declined: "No need, no need."
Zhao Han wanted to get in touch with farmers more, so he had to learn how to do farm work first, otherwise he would not be able to communicate at all.
Under Zhao Han's strong request, Liu Ziren could only take him to work in the fields.
The two left together, Fei Ruyi didn't want to read alone, so he returned "Mengxi Bi Tan" and left.
No matter which library, books are not allowed to be borrowed. You can either read it in the library, or copy the contents of the book.
Zhao Han asked as he walked: "How is the sweet potato harvest this year?"
Liu Ziren explained in detail: "Last year, I started to try planting, and this year I will know its nature. I heard people say that sweet potatoes must be turned over to control the vines, otherwise, the better the vines grow, the worse the sweet potatoes will bear. I didn't understand this reason last year. , just blindfolded, maybe we can have a good harvest this year.¡±
"So that's how it is. Sure enough, there is a specialization in the arts." Zhao Han has never been in contact with farming.
Sweet potatoes were introduced to China in the 21st year of Wanli.
? Chen Zhenlong, a scholar from Fujian, bribed the natives to obtain potato vines when he was doing business in the Philippines. Then the sweet potato vines were twisted into the water rope to avoid the inspection of the Spanish colonists, and then the sweet potato vines were brought back to Fujian for planting.
In the same year, several businessmen brought back potato vines from Japan and planted them in the temple fields of Mount Putuo, Zhejiang.
Thirty years later, due to the promotion of local officials, sweet potatoes have spread all over Fujian and Guangdong.
On the other side of Zhejiang, the spread is relatively slow, and it is only planted in a small area in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Jiangxi is sandwiched between these three provinces, how could it not be affected?
The sweet potatoes introduced from Guangdong have now spread all over southern Jiangxi.
A few years ago, it spread from Fujian to Qianshan County. It spreads to one town almost a year, and the common people are vying to plant it, and some farmers make a lot of money by selling potato vines.
The sweet potatoes grown in Liu Ziren's house were planted after buying potato vines from a neighboring town.
The two went down the mountain together and soon arrived at their destination.
Like Xu Ying's family, Liu Ziren also has a few acres of private land. But it was not enough to support his family, so he started farming again. After failing the provincial examination twice, he spent more and more time working in the fields himself.
"This is the school field that my family cultivates." Liu Ziren pointed to the front and said.
There are already people working in the field, they are Liu Ziren's parents, wife, younger brother and sister-in-law. Even Liu Ziren's six-year-old son and three-year-old daughter are helping to pick up the missed sweet potatoes.
Zhao Han used to know his family members, and after some persistence, he finally rolled up his trouser legs and rolled up his sleeves to help.
The number of hoes is not enough, Zhao Han has no chance to dig the soil.
Liu Ziren said: "The potato vines still have a few young leaves, which can be picked for cooking. The old vines can't be discarded, they can be fed to poultry and livestock. There are pig farmers who buy them in the town. If you want to work, you can pick the young leaves. Bar."
Zhao Han was a good follower, squatting in the field to pick potato leaves.
The young leaves of sweet potatoes can indeed be used for cooking, but the season has long passed. No matter how Zhao Han chooses, he can only find a few tender and delicious ones.
Looking around, Mother Liu has already picked a basket, most of which are old leaves that are difficult to swallow.
It is estimated that in the next few days, the Liu family will live on potato leaves, and at most add some grains and brown rice to cook porridge.
And Liu Ziren, a dignified scholar, is wielding his hoe vigorously at the moment, digging out sweet potatoes one by one from the ground.
Although he received funding from Fei's family, Liu Ziren was not admitted to Linsheng, let alone Juren Master. As you get older, you get less and less funding. If you still fail to pass the Juren exam next year, you can only read books for free in the library, and other funding projects will be cancelled.
The more Liu Ziren dug, the more excited he was, and he said happily: "After turning over the vines and controlling the prosperity, the sweet potatoes have grown better, at least 20-30% more harvest than last year."
"Congratulations, congratulations, this year's harvest is bumper," Zhao Han said with a smile, "I taught Brother Liu a way to cut sweet potatoes into strips, then dry them and bake them into dried potatoes for sale, so that they can sell for more money."
"This statement is true.??Liu Ziren is a rebel who can absorb.
Zhu Zhiyu in front of him seems to be able to test it out.
Zhao Han asked: "Brother Chu Yu, have you ever tasted what it's like to be hungry?"
"I have tasted it, and I couldn't get enough to eat every day for a while." Zhu Zhiyu replied.
"You can eat every day, how can you be hungry?" Zhao Han felt very funny.
Zhu Zhiyu nodded and said, "That's right, I'm not starving."
The family fortunes of the gentry and aristocrats are in decline, which is different from what ordinary people imagined.
When the Zhu family was at its worst, there were only dozens of servants leftBecause of the famine, they couldn't pay wages, and all the servants ran away.
How miserable!
Just like that, the relatives came to mock them, pointing to their house and saying, "Look, this is the house of an upright official."
It is really a family of upright officials.
Zhu Zhiyu's great-grandfather, posthumously presented to Dr. Rong Lu after his death. Grandfather, posthumously presented to Dr. Guanglu after his death. Father, posthumously gifted to Dr. Guanglu, Shangzhu Kingdom.
He has been a first-rank official for three consecutive generations, and he is in the south of the Yangtze River, so there are only dozens of domestic slaves. Also due to natural disasters, the wages could not be paid, causing the house slaves to run away completely, what is this not an upright official?
The two went to the cafeteria together, eating and chatting.
As we chatted, Zhao Han felt more and more familiar with Zhu Zhiyu's name, but he really couldn't remember where he had heard it.
Zhejiang?
Zhao Han had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhu's home is in Yuyao?"
Zhu Zhiyu said, "Exactly."
"Brother Zhu's hometown, is there a river called Shunshui?" Zhao Han asked.
"Have you been to Yuyao?" Zhu Zhiyu asked in surprise.
Zhao Han finally smiled happily: "I haven't been there, but I've heard of it."
