    In the second class, Ruan Zhe sat down and said to the two of them: "Today our study course is - planting crops!"

    Ruan Zhe said with a long drawl, a little proudly.

    Both Ding Erkang and Du Heng's eyes widened after hearing this, and they thought to themselves: "Didn't you say that you are taking Guqin lessons? Why are you planting crops?"

    Ruan Zhe said triumphantly: "As the saying goes, 'Food is the most important thing for the people', Shennong's family cut wood for Lei, kneaded wood for Lei, and the benefits of Lei Lei were used to teach the world Shennong died, Huangdi, Yao, and Shun made it."  , through its changes, so that the people will not tire, and the gods will transform it and make it suitable for the people. "Agricultural affairs are state affairs", so learning to grow crops is also very important for scholars."

    "Our academy has its own crop land, and we are basically self-sufficient in food and vegetables every year. Now you two change into casual clothes, let's go farming."

    When Ding Erkang and Du Heng changed into casual clothes and saw Ruan Zhe again, he was already dressed as a farmer through and through.  I saw him wearing a hand-woven straw hat, a gray coarse cloth blouse, trousers rolled up, a pair of ebony-soled cloth shoes on his feet, and a hoe in his hand.  Although he was dressed like a farmer, he still couldn't conceal Ruan Zhe's extraordinary and otherworldly demeanor.

    Ding Erkang couldn't help admiring secretly when he saw it: Even if Jikang is alive, it's nothing more than that.  "

    Ruan Zhe said lightly: "Both of you go get a sickle, and then harvest the wheat!"

    Ding Erkang and Du Heng followed Ruan Zhe to the self-cultivated land of the academy.  In the mountain sun in June, the ears of wheat are already golden, and the wheat is dancing in the breeze, lowering its heavy head.  Looking at the wheat field, Ruan Zhe proudly said to Ding Erkang and Du Heng: "This year's wheat has grown exceptionally well. You can see that the ears of wheat are full and golden in color. It is definitely a bumper harvest! But, will you two know how to cut the wheat?"

    Both Ding Erkang and Du Heng shook their heads, and Ding Erkang said: "We in Linggao County can't grow wheat because of the low temperature, we can only grow corn. I have never been engaged in farming since I was a child, but I have seen villagers harvest corn." Du Heng said  Feeling a little embarrassed, he rubbed his head with his hand and murmured: "I grew up in the Fengtai government office since I was a child, and I have never seen farming work. I only know how to read with my head down, which makes you laugh."

    Ruan Zhe heard what the two of them said, Zhengyan said: "It is said that you are a scholar who is useless, and it is true to think that you can apply it to you. As the old saying goes, if you are not a good minister, you will be a famous doctor. If a scholar is not able to be a prime minister  If so, then I will become a famous doctor. But everyone knows that it is so easy to be a prime minister? Even to be a famous doctor, it also needs to start from a young age.  If you want to study medicine, that is also an impossible thing. You can¡¯t pass the imperial examination, you can¡¯t do business, you can¡¯t grow crops, and you can¡¯t even support yourself. So what is the life of this book?  significance."

    "So, today I teach you how to grow crops, just to let you understand the truth that if you are rich, you will benefit the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone."

    Ding Erkang and Du Heng looked at the golden wheat waves fluctuating with the wind, holding sickles but didn't know what to do.

    Ruan Zhe bent down and grabbed a handful of wheat with one hand, and the sickle with the other. The hand holding the handle of the sickle against the ground yanked back, and the wheat was cut neatly.  Ding Erkang and Du Heng were busy imitating Ruan Zhe's appearance and started cutting.  The golden wheat fell down in clumps under the action of the sickle.  After a while, the wheat beside the three of them was brought down.

    Ding Erkang excitedly said to Du Heng: "Brother Zimei, it seems that farming is not a difficult job. In the blink of an eye, we have harvested so much wheat."

    Du Heng also nodded in sympathy and said: "That is, we will finish this piece of land in a short time, and we can eat fresh wheat tonight!"

    After hearing this, Ruan Zhe smiled noncommittally, but didn't say anything, just bent silently and continued to cut the wheat.

    Ding Erkang and Du Heng didn't dare to take a break after seeing it, they bent down and worked hard to cut the wheat.

    After a long time, first of all Du Heng couldn't stand it any longer. He beat his waist with his hands after a while. The high temperature in summer had already made the three of them sweat profusely.  Bending down again and again, Du Heng felt that his legs were struggling to move, his waist was so sore that he could hardly bend down, and his chest was oppressed and he couldn't breathe.  Du Heng took a peek at Ding Erkang, and found that he was also sweating profusely, and he had obviously stagnated when he bent down, but he just gritted his teeth and persisted.  Although Ruan Zhe was also sweating, he obviously didn't have the painful reaction of the two of them.

    Du Heng couldn't take it anymore, he begged for mercy first, and said to Ruan Zhe, "Ruan Zhe, can I take a break? My waist is almost broken, and I can't bend any further!"

    Ruan Zhe listened to the movements in his hands, wiped the sweat from his face with his cuffs, and spoke to Ding Erkang andDu Heng said: "You're tired. It's pretty good to be able to work for such a long time for the first time. Find a shady place, and the three of us can rest for a while and have a chat."

    Finding a shady place, Du Heng lay down with a bang, and he said to Ruan Zhe, "Lie down too, and relax, I can't even sit!" Ruan Zhe looked at Du Heng's exhausted face.  Shaking his head helplessly, he looked at Ding Erkang and asked, "How do you feel? Can your waist bear it?"

    Ding Erkang said to Ruan Zhe while wiping his sweat, "It's okay, my waist is sore, and my hands are almost blistering."

    Ruan Zhe looked at them, and said with a serious face: "Today, you know the hard work of "the day of hoeing, sweat dripping into the soil". Farmers are engaged in the hardest work without rest all year round, but they earn the least. Scholars are one foot square  At the table, the wind can't blow and the rain can't catch it, and I don't know the hard work of farming. How can I govern the country and benefit the people like this?"

    "Today you have gained knowledge and learned about farming, and one day you will be named on the gold list. When you are sent out to be an official, you must learn to be sympathetic to the farmers and pay attention to the mulberry. You must benefit one party as an official, understand?"

    Listening to Ruan Zheyu's earnest teaching, Du Heng and Ding Erkang hurriedly stood up, bowed their hands and said: "Students, remember the teaching of the principal!"

    At this moment, Ruan Zhe definitely does not look like a person who lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Ding Erkang and Du Heng are deeply impressed by his mind, knowledge and cultivation.  ¡ª This is someone special, someone you never regret knowing him.

    Today, the three of them harvested a large piece of land. At dinner, Ding Erkang and Du Heng drank two large bowls of porridge with relish, washed up a little, and climbed onto the bed, slumped into a pool of mud.

    After a while, the snoring sounded like thunder, and they all fell asleep.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
