Chapter 59 What did you say? What about the American continent?
[Sweet potatoes, do we have sweet potatoes in the Great Song Dynasty? Let’s check the system... Wow, how thoughtful, it’s already listed.
There are no tomatoes. Oh yes, there are none. I have never had the classic dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
There are no sweet potatoes either. We should introduce some of them, but they seem to damage the soil. However, the quantity is large. Let Wenjun see if we can bring some back.
Watermelon! I really want to eat watermelon, but the sweet and juicy watermelon seems to have been developed by Academician Wu Mingzhu through her hard work. The watermelons nowadays are not tasty either. Ahhh, without Grandma Melon, who can let me eat delicious watermelon...]
"How long have you been talking about this..."
Worry, all the civil and military officials were really worried. Su Jinghe probably really wanted to eat, and his voice was much more intense than usual. He didn't worry at all about Wang Wenjun not being able to find it, but was only looking forward to these "foods that were not available in the Song Dynasty".
"He may not really be from our Song Dynasty." Yan Shu and Lu Yijian were quite certain when they said this.
"He looks like he's eaten these things himself, and he even has recipes for them. You wouldn't be able to tell there's so much to them just by looking at the artifact."
After Yan Shu finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yijian, not knowing whether this person had taken his words to heart.
Lü Yijian was busy reviewing memorials. He actually heard it, but...
After correcting this book and before moving on to the next one, Lu Yijian said to Yan Shu, who was probably waiting for his reply.
"The Su family recognized him, and His Majesty also recognized him, so he is a member of our Great Song Dynasty."
"Ah, that's right." Yan Shu had been struggling with this question for a long time. Because of his intelligence, he was more confused about the concept of "human being", whether it was the body or the soul.
"But……"
"Don't say buts. He is capable and we cannot do without him. This is his value, and..." Lu Yijian gestured to Yan Shu to listen to this voice again.
[Crayfish seems like a good idea. Oh, no, crayfish were imported from neighboring Japan, so we're not going in the same direction. Ah, should we find someone to import them? But crayfish are delicious stir-fried, and now... the economy is high enough for stir-frying. This thing is suitable for freshwater farming, but it will damage the riverbank. However... raising it directly in a fish pond seems feasible. Ah, how about trying to persuade the most excited person to let your little prince contribute to the development of Song Dynasty's culinary industry?]
After listening to Su Jinghe's long discussion about the unknown creature "crayfish", and even trying to persuade the young prince about this, Yan Shu was a little confused as to why Prime Minister Lu asked him to listen to this.
Is it the same as before? This...
But as he listened, and Su Jinghe unfolded his ideas on the "Development of the Song Dynasty", Yan Shu gradually understood what Prime Minister Lu meant, and he returned to his workstation.
I understood what Prime Minister Lu meant. Su Jinghe was not only officially recognized, but also cared about the Song Dynasty, not to mention he was so capable.
There is no need to doubt him anymore.
Su Jinghe had no idea about this little episode. He was still thinking about what Wang Wenjun could bring over.
The gap between modern times and ancient times cannot be made up in terms of electronic products, but there is still a chance in terms of food!
[Hmm... But, the comparison between Song Dynasty's technology and the rest of the world...]
When Su Jinghe talked about other things, the Mohists and Gongshuists didn't pay much attention. But when he mentioned "technology", they became excited.
Not only them, but others as well.
"Ah, if the Qin and Han dynasties had not respected the law and emphasized Confucianism, but instead allowed a hundred schools of thought to bloom, our technological level would be far superior to today's!"
Some people do not seem to be pure Confucianists and are still thinking about another possibility.
"If no one is selected, how long will it take to complete the imperial examination..." There were also people who did not reject his idea, and some even followed his idea and thought about the imperial examination.
After all, they all entered the court as officials through the imperial examination, and the first thing they thought about was this. This person even measured his own strength.
"If it were the imperial examination, there would be too many competitions, it would take too long, and the operations would be too complex. My abilities might not be able to stand out." This operability... is naturally the "trick" behind it, and everyone understands it.
"If I don't take the imperial examination... my family doesn't have the connections to find me a job."
So real...
Those present were originally proud of their own knowledge, thinking that if Confucianism was studied by fewer people, they would have a greater chance of coming out on top, which might not be a bad thing. However... their family backgrounds were not yet up to par, so they decided to change their track...
"Fortunately, the imperial examination system is very useful. A little less is better..."
They have convinced themselves that it is a wise decision to select a few from hundreds of companies and focus on developing them.
Su Jinghe didn't know this either. Su Jinghe...
[Hey, the technology of the Song Dynasty is not bad now. After all, we are China. China has been the king and the hegemon for so many years. Hey, in another three hundred years, we will still be at the forefront of the world. Hey...]
The first one is an exclamation, and the second one is...
The taste of regret hits me.
When Song Renzong heard this, he became serious.
"In another three hundred years, China will decline?"
Song Renzong frowned, and was reluctant to blame the Song Dynasty, but he couldn't help but blame it.
"It won't be the dynasty that follows our downfall... "
"No." Han Qi interrupted the emperor's "self-blame". He originally came to accompany the emperor to figure out what food Su Jinghe was talking about.
Food is the most important thing for the people. Although the Song Dynasty has been actively engaged in business to support the national treasury, the people's food can never be relaxed.
Among Su Jinghe's "ideas", there are many things that make people excited when they talk about them, but they dare not think deeply about what kind of changes they will bring to the Song Dynasty once they are really introduced into the Song Dynasty.
As a result, he heard the seamless transition of "Sad Future". In fact, Han Qi was a little skeptical. A thousand-mile dike was breached by an ant's blood. Could it be that the Northern Song Dynasty was lagging behind? But after thinking about it carefully, it was not the case.
"You've never scolded us before. Didn't you just say we were cowards and gave up?"
If it was any other consolation, Song Renzong might not have eaten it, but Han Qi's words really hit the mark.
Song Renzong was truly comforted. The palace maids and eunuchs who hadn't understood what was said but had heard the general idea were all a little panicked. This...
Is this a good word? How can Your Majesty be satisfied with this?
It's not a good word, but Song Renzong felt that this idea was absolutely right.
If they were really such a big drag, Su Jinghe would have scolded them before, so it shouldn't be such a big problem.
He comforted himself, but Song Renzong was not prepared to do nothing. "Let's try to find out. Have our subsequent convoys and fleets caught up with what he said?"
"They've caught up. The gunpowder is also being transported. We should use courtesy first and then force. If they can pretend to be bandits, so can we."
Han Qi was very calm when he said this.
Song Renzong's moral bottom line also became lower and lower with his repeated "big gifts" and "big cowardice" - we are all like this, so what's wrong with giving way to us!
At least it wasn't a sneak attack, it was completely self-defense!
Su Jinghe thought about the letter to Wang Wenjun for a long time and even wrote several letters.
After sending them all out, Su Jinghe thought of something very important.
"Can you send them all to Wenjun?"
"Should?" Of course it can, after all, it is following His Majesty's way.
Wang Anshi was actually relieved.
Su Jinghe's worries about his sister and his joy at the fact that the Song Dynasty had introduced more crops and made life better for the people were all consumed day after day as he opened his eyes and began to think with the system about what to find and whether the painting was realistic.
Please leave me alone and give me a quiet living space, okay? System!
No, this system is like a book, a book that gives you whatever it says. It’s better to ask Su Jinghe for help than to ask the system!
Wang Anshi was about to speak directly, but fortunately Su Jinghe ended it himself and saved Wang Anshi, who was in critical mental condition.
"Let's talk about this later. Now there is a very tricky thing." Wang Anshi's expression was really serious, and he was Wang Anshi!
Su Jinghe immediately felt immersed in the "tricky" situation, "What's wrong? What's the matter that you can't even solve?"
"A group of people came, claiming to be descendants of a farming family, and were trying to find His Highness the Duke."
Wang Anshi pursed his lips. "The Duke of the County refused to let them meet. They didn't know why, so they went around Bian Jing asking if they could meet. Now they've been arrested and thrown into jail."
This has a beginning and an end, hasn't it been handled? Su Jinghe didn't understand, what did this mean to him?
Looking for Zhao Zongshi? This problem never falls on me.
Su Jinghe thought about it and finally said to Wang Anshi seriously, "Our kindergarten only prohibits ordering takeout, but it does not restrict the freedom of life of His Highness, and it is impossible for Zhao Zongshi to listen to me."
"No..." How could it become such a misunderstanding?
At first, Wang Anshi just wanted to hear Su Jinghe's opinion, preferably from his heart, but now he has no heart, so he still has to listen to Su Jinghe.
"Didn't you say before that the kindergarten wanted a hundred flowers to bloom? Why don't you get to know this group of people? If they are truly useful talents and are attracted to His Highness Zhao's talent in agronomy, you can use the little princes to coax them into coming to the kindergarten."
What? What! Is this even possible?
Wang Anshi's words gave Su Jinghe an idea. He had long known that someone was "harassing" Zhao Zongshi.
But... people always care more about what they want to care about. Now his relationship with Zui Xinglai and Princess Fukang is better than before. It is very moral that he did not laugh at someone who harassed Zhao Zongshi.
Let me see, let me see!
Su Jinghe's thoughts made Wang Anshi feel a little at a loss.
This... was he persuaded by his talk of "recruiting new teachers"?
Wang Anshi silently pondered his own rhetoric. Was it any better than before? If so... he...
He also really wanted to go to the grassroots, get closer to the people, and do something practical for the Song Dynasty.
But those who know him have no hope for him, thinking that he will not be able to handle the disputes that the people may encounter, or at least that he is not good at speaking, in case the conflicts escalate.
Now Wang Anshi is also working hard.
Su Jinghe didn't know about Wang Anshi's efforts, but he really wanted to add more teachers to the kindergarten.
But he didn't want to build the kindergarten into something awesome, but...
There must always be primary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and universities, and they are built up along the way. Su Jinghe's ultimate goal is to build a good education system for the Song Dynasty.
You can’t let others enjoy the rain you have been in! You can’t let them only learn Chinese, that’s not good, it’s too enjoyable, all the schools of thought, all served up!
Su Jinghe had been taking care of the children in the kindergarten for more than two years. He built a primary school and found teachers. The two little princes and the third one couldn't wait to go to primary school with him.
Wang Wenjun and her team are back.
In 1045, Su Jinghe first saw the...
[Huh? This is American soil? Oh no, this is Indian soil. No, we have discovered the American continent, right?]
What continent?
As soon as she returned to the country, Wang Wenjun, who had made great contributions, was officially granted an official position, which was even higher than her brother's current fifth-rank official position, and she was promoted to the third rank right away.
But like Su Jinghe, it was a nominal position, and although he had a high rank, he enjoyed a good salary and benefits, but his power was not as great as that of a third-rank official with real power.
But Wang Wenjun was quite satisfied. Compared with this official position, she was more satisfied that the government gave her the right to form her own caravan, and even the title of imperial merchant!
The first year’s tax is waived and the first five years are also halved!
This made Wang Wenjun happy from the bottom of her heart.
When she saw Su Jinghe, she was originally going to celebrate, but she heard this little noise.
Wang Wenjun looked at Su Jinghe, who had in her hands the soil that she had brought from different places and that the experienced old farmer felt was fertile.
It was this action that made her sure that it was Su Jinghe's voice.
But what does this mean?
He didn't move his mouth?
