"Just relying on chicken soup is just to treat symptoms but not root causes. Chicken soup is just a small profit. The key is that we cannot stimulate the people's interest in their children's reading. The most important thing is that the so-called "Zhihu" is what the people have no interest in understanding. Even if they learn these things, they cannot directly exchange for food, nor can they eat directly. That is why they are so firmly opposed to their children's reading. This is the most fundamental reason. If they can truly gain benefits from reading, they will not object, but will support them." Chen Fei said.
Princess Wanchun also began to think, saying: "What do ordinary farmers hope most? Money, future, or what..."
Princess Wanchun guessed a lot, but she didn't get the point, so she wasn't sure. However, it was too difficult to let a princess who lived in a wealthy family guess what ordinary people needed. So Chen Fei didn't take Princess Wanchun's words seriously.
"What else can you do? That is, you can increase your land production and income!" Ning Shuyu said.
"Bang!" Chen Fei slapped.
"Yes, then we will teach everyone the knowledge of increasing production and income." Chen Fei said.
Chen Fei was prompted soon, that is, to let the people have the idea of learning, and they must feel that their own personal interests must be obtained. As for those chicken soup, they are all cured by symptoms but not root causes. The most important thing is to let the people personally understand the benefits of reading. What the people are concerned about is the content of increasing land production and income, and Chen Fei and the others can also teach them how to increase land production and income. Isn’t this completely allowing the people to be enthusiastic about studying?
"Ning Shuyu, in the future, you will teach those children, such as skills and various agricultural knowledge. After they have completed four years of preliminary Chinese and mathematics learning, they will also teach them various knowledge of increasing production and income, so that they can be interested in learning. We can assure them that after learning the knowledge of increasing production and income from us, the land harvest can increase by 30%. I think many people will also send their children to study? The condition for us to teach these methods is that their children must learn from us for six years, learn culture in the first four years, and learn agricultural technology in the next two years." Chen Fei said.
Ning Shuyu immediately said in embarrassment: "Our academy also teaches the knowledge of farming? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"
Ning Shuyu still had the problem of ancient Confucian scholars, that is, he did not pay attention to these so-called miscellaneous studies. Since the gradual disappearance of all schools of thought, their knowledge has become non-mainstream. This kind of farming knowledge, that is, the academics of farmers, is generally not valued. However, Chen Fei proposed to teach the people these things, which is obviously different from the current mainstream academics.
However, Chen Fei certainly knew that although there was no revival of various schools of thought in later generations, in fact, all schools of thought had been revived in later generations. Because the universities in later generations all studied different disciplines and majors, this was actually the knowledge of various schools of thought back then, but the things in later generations were more advanced. Since sooner or later they were going on this path, Chen Fei started by teaching agriculture and asked everyone to pay attention to agriculture.
"Ning Shuyu, do you think that the world is full of Confucian scholars who do not produce with pen and ink. Will the world be peaceful? If there are no farmers, where will their food come from? So if we want more Confucian scholars, we must make more food. Only with more food can more people be freed from the heavy labor. We must study the teachings of the saints seriously. Moreover, Guan Zhong also said that the etiquette of the warehouse is sufficient. If the people do not have a rich life, how can they read, read, read, learn culture? So when we promote education, the first thing is to make the people grow more food. We promote education. It may not be possible in less than a hundred or two years. So we must lay a solid foundation, that is, the grain output must keep up."
"If there is not enough food, then why do you say that reading and literacy are? This is what I call productivity. If there is not enough productivity, where can I feed so many rice insects that are not good at producing. Oh, princess, I'm not talking about you. After all, we officials are also one of the rice insects. If the people are not allowed to produce more food and produce more food with as little population land as possible, how can we expand the number of rice insects? So agriculture is the basis for everything, and even those of us who claim to be scholars cannot underestimate agriculture."
Ning Shuyu finally sighed and said, "But where do we get so many farming methods? There are very few books on agriculture and sericulture now, let alone increase the land production by more than 30%. We really have no choice!"
"Are you talking about textbooks? I have it! I will soon be able to get a lot of ways to increase production and income. Not to mention 30% of wheat production, I dare to say it if it doubles the yield!" Chen Fei said confidently.
Chen Fei can find information from later generations at any time on his mobile phone, and can find many ways to cultivate wheat in later generations. Before he touches on genes and other means, Chen Fei can completely get the most advanced breeding and sowing processes in later generations. These farming processes are the results of the research and practice of people and agricultural scientists in later generations for more than a thousand years, so Chen Fei can get it naturally. Chen Fei doesn’t care about what it is not easy for future generations to study. Anyway, Chen Fei is using this era to increase the productivity of this era as soon as possible. And the various wheat cultivation processes in later generations can completely increase the yield of wheat quickly. In this era, the yield of only more than 100 kilograms per acre of land is a joke in later generations. Chen Fei is confident that he can use advanced technology, even without using the good varieties of later generations, he can double the yield of wheat to more than 200 kilograms.
These methods are good things that attract people to come and study. Even if they are to gain these agricultural knowledge, they will let their children study. However, it is not that Chen Fei doesn’t want to popularize these technologies immediately, but that the technical content of these technologies is too high. If there is no sufficient cultural foundation, it will not be able to learn these farming methods in later generations. Therefore, four years of cultural education must be provided to those who are preparing to learn these agricultural knowledge, so that they can truly learn these things. Otherwise, they will be some fur and cannot increase production and income at all.
