Kangxi attached great importance to agriculture throughout his life, believing that no farming is unstable and no farming is not rich. He also took time to work hard every year. He also set up several experimental fields to cultivate rice seeds in Fengze Garden and vigorously promoted the planting area of ​​double-season rice. It can be said that he attached great importance to agriculture.

When he heard that Yinzhen was talking about some agricultural works, his attention was immediately attracted. He put down his pen and said with interest: "These are not miscellaneous books. You can actually have your own ideas. It seems that you have not been idle recently. Come and tell me what you have. "[The latest updates are all in search.]

"Yes, Emperor Ama, these ideas are occasionally obtained by my sons. If something is inappropriate, please ask Emperor Ama to correct me." After a humble moment, Yinzhen said with confidence: "Since ancient times, food is the most important thing for the people. Our dynasty has a large population and has increased at a rate of three to five million every year. However, the newly reclaimed fields are extremely limited. In the long run, the contradiction between food and population will become a major concern for the court.

In addition, land annexation has always been a major stubborn disease in all dynasties. Our dynasty is currently in the period of revival, and land annexation is not very serious. But what about 30 or 50 years later? On one hand, the land will be highly concentrated, and on the other hand, there will be a large number of landless farmers. Once a natural disaster occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Hearing this beginning, Kangxi's expression became solemn and he listened with all his attention.

"How to resolve this contradiction? Land annexation to the later stage is almost an inevitable phenomenon, and there has never been effective solutions. The Central Plains cannot implement the "debit reduction policy". The only way out is to increase the land output.

To increase the yield of land, seeds are the key, and the cultivation of seeds requires a large number of agricultural talents to study for a long time. What our dynasty lacks most now is agricultural talents. The reason for this phenomenon is that the scholars in our dynasty only read Confucius and Mencius, do not distinguish wheat and millet, and farmers cannot read.

Most of the existing agricultural works are written by predecessors, and they are all written by one person, so they naturally have certain limitations and one-sidedness. My son-in-law wonders whether he can imitate the Imperial College and build an agricultural college to specialize in cultivating agricultural talents."

Kangxi raised his eyebrows and felt a sudden enlightenment. He couldn't help but secretly praised him. This idea was a good idea and was a fundamental solution.

Seeing that Kangxi seemed to have a happy look on his face, Yinzhen secretly said there was a chance and continued, "Our dynasty has a vast territory and a complex climate, but the main grain production areas can be divided into two parts: north and south. Among them, Jiangnan is the foundation of the national grain tax. If an agricultural college is established in Jiangnan, scholars who are interested in agriculture and are interested in agriculture will be recruited to educate them with existing agricultural works as textbooks.

In this way, within a few years, a large number of agricultural talents will be cultivated. For these people, the court will give them a certain official position. Those with excellent people may stay in the hospital as teachers or concentrate on agricultural research. Those with mediocre people may also be assigned to each county to promote, promote, guide and popularize local agricultural science.

In addition, the court gave heavy rewards to those who have made outstanding contributions in agriculture. In this way, our dynasty will surely spark a craze for agriculture, and agriculture will surely reach its peak in our dynasty and lay a foundation for future generations."

"Okay, unique vision, novel ideas, broad thinking, and great work." Kangxi blurted out with a flushed face.

Yinzhen did not dare to accept this admiration, so he bowed and said humbly: "The emperor's praise, but the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the sons of the

Kangxi stood up excitedly and smiled, "There is no need to be humble in the 14th, this is a good strategy for governing the country." As he said that, he looked around and saw that there was nothing to reward, so he picked up a jade Ruyi on the desk, "This Ruyi rewards you."

Yinzhen happily took a few steps forward, knelt down and took Yu Ruyi, "Thank you the reward of Emperor Ama."

Kangxi asked with a smile: "What do you have in this Agricultural College?"

"When Huihuang Ama, Erchen believes that the initial construction scale should not be too large. There must be a certain number of experimental fields. The Agricultural College will divide the subjects and temporarily divide them into four subjects: rice, dry land crops, economic crops, and animal husbandry. Students can choose subjects based on their own preferences and the actual situation in various places. Each person can only choose one subject.

Secondly, Jiangnan is the foundation of national food. The first batch of students should be mainly composed of Jiangnan provinces, and other provinces can take into account both. The first agricultural college is best built in Jiangnan. Students should not be absorbed too quickly. It is best to limit one quota per year in each county.

In addition, for the agricultural college, the court can directly issue research courses, and students can give them eighth-rank or ninth-rank officials, and distribute propaganda, promotion, guidance, and popularization of agriculture in each county. For these officials, the court can stipulate that they must be in office for five years, and then they can be promoted and demoted according to the assessment. In the future, the court will produce an additional group of officials who know and understand agriculture.

Finally, the matter of allocating agricultural officials in each county can be tried in Jiangnan first. If it takes effect in Jiangnan, it will not be too late to promote it nationwide."

Kangxi couldn't help but listened. After Yinzhen finished speaking, he said with a smile: "If you govern a big country, try it first and then promote it. Don't be greedy for big things or do nothing. At your age, it's rare." After walking a few steps, Kangxi continued: "Write a memorial and submit it."

"This is the 'promotion book' written by my son. "Yinzhen quickly took out the written note and handed it over with both hands, "Please correct me by Emperor Ama."

Kangxi placed the memorial on the desk and smiled and said, "Let me kneel down first, I will discuss this matter again."

After Yinzhen withdrew, Kangxi read the book of "promoting agriculture". In Kangxi's eyes, this book of "promoting agriculture" was a little radical, and there were obvious shortcomings in some places. After pondering for a long time, he said: "Li Dequan, send this copy to the cabinet, forwarded it to the six subjects, and copied it publicly, and published the full text in the newspaper.

It was published in the newspaper in the palace. Kangxi wanted to show his support to the public and explore the reactions of the governors and governors from all over the country. The second idea was that it was difficult to explain clearly. After half a year of purge and rectification, all ministers from the court who participated in the princely party struggle were frightened and used this book of agricultural promotion that would definitely cause controversy to attract the attention of the court, divert their attention, and stabilize people's hearts.

What does it mean to stir up a thousand waves? When the book of agricultural promotion was published in the residence newspaper, it immediately caused a sensation among the government and the country. Few people were concerned about the Agricultural College, but the students of the Agricultural College were awarded the eighth-rank official position as soon as they came out. This is a bit shocking. You should know that for every three years, there are only about 300 people from the third grade and the Jinshi, and they usually only come from the seventh grade.

The most fundamental thing is that scholars all over the world have another way to advance, and the court officials will also spend thousands more, which means that the court's expenses will increase significantly.

Therefore, as soon as the book of agricultural promotion was published in the residence newspaper, the government and the country were immediately filled with excitement. Some people praised it, and of course there were many people who criticized it, but more were talking about it.
