The land under the hill is not flat, but the slope is not steep either. The reclaimed land forms a trapezoid of half an acre in size.
There are orange trees planted at the top. The oranges hang on the trees like small lanterns. They look very beautiful and appetizing. Kunsang couldn't help swallowing his saliva. There are also taro planted under the trees.
Sugarcane is planted in the middle. These sugarcanes have obviously been carefully cared for. Not only is a windproof bamboo frame built, but the dry leaves have also been stripped clean, making each piece of sugarcane look very straight.
At the bottom are paddy fields. The rice has been harvested and the water in the fields is slightly turbid. The occasional large splashes of turbid water prove that there are many big fish in the fields.
The entire area looked like no more than a hundred acres, which was not considered large to the Tibetans who were used to the vast grasslands. However, the things on the ground were very valuable to them.
Chen Zheng looked at the Tibetans swallowing their saliva and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Do you want to eat sugar cane or oranges? I'll go get some for you to satisfy your cravings first, okay?"
"sugar cane."
Several guards thought about it, some shook their heads, some nodded, and someone said, "The place is not valuable, but the things in the land are valuable."

Although there was no unanimous opinion, Chen Zheng did not take it seriously. He went into the soil, broke off a few pieces of sugarcane, and then broke off an orange branch.
The guard beside him chewed the sugar cane and made a clacking sound, and he did not forget to mutter: "What's the point of learning these things?"
Many children who were very naughty when they were young, once they make up their minds to work hard, can often learn the basic knowledge within one or two years. If they work hard for another year, they can learn a skill to survive. If they continue to study for one or two years, they can basically become outstanding.
Kun Sang thought for a moment, and asked eagerly, "Are you still teaching now? Can we go and listen when we have time?"
"Oh, I see."
"No, the master is very strict, but he has a high level of vision and is very open-minded about many things. According to Confucianism, he has reached the state of "ears obeying the will of nature". He likes to let things take their own course in many things."
Chen Zheng thought for a moment and continued, "The teacher once said that there is nothing wrong with playing at an age of playing. A person's life is very long. As the saying goes, you can learn until you die. There is plenty of time to learn. There is no need to force yourself too much in childhood.
Although they can still sprout if left alone, after three years of being covered with soil, it is now difficult to get above the soil, so we need to dig trenches again and plant new ones.”
Chen Zheng smiled and said, "I do teach. Every time my senior brother passes down new knowledge, I will pass it on after I have thoroughly understood it. Sometimes I also explain some agricultural knowledge to the people in the farms here. These are the knowledge that most of you will not understand.
Kunsang nodded, sat down on the stone slab, and praised: "You seem young, but you not only speak clearly and logically, but also know so much. You are worthy of being the student of the chief steward."
After school every day, Senior Brother Wu Yi would continue to study or help the teacher with things within his ability, while we would play around with our classmates, and the teacher never paid any attention to us. "
Chen Zheng smiled bitterly and sighed, "When I first studied under you, I was still young. I didn't understand what such an opportunity meant and how rare it was. I just felt that life was very happy.
In fact, sugarcane cannot be broken off directly, but needs to be cut with a sickle, leaving the old stump so that new sugarcane shoots will sprout next year. But by the same token, the roots I just broke off were three years old.
Kunsang took the orange branch and asked in confusion: "How will it bear fruit next year if you just break off the branch like this?"
Chen Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I wasted a year, worked hard for half a year, went to Yuzhou and worked as a clerk beside the teacher for half a year, and then came here to teach."
Every day, my classmates and I would help the teacher pick up some stones, or do something else, and we could get two good meals, and we could also listen to the teacher’s lectures and tell stories. Those were the happiest times of my life.
Chen Zheng found it funny, but his task now was to draw a circle around the field in front of him and ask, "Do you think this area is valuable?"
In my Yuzhou department, anyone who is willing to study can come, no matter how old they are. We don’t care about qualifications. As long as you have a heart for physiognomy, we are willing to teach you. "
Kun Sang curled his lips and said, "You are thick-skinned and tough. It would be a waste of my energy to hit you."
Kunsang squinted his eyes and looked at the guard who was talking. When he saw that they had almost finished eating several sugarcanes and dozens of oranges while he was talking to Chen Zheng, his eyes narrowed even more, and he clenched the sugarcane in his hand and hit the guard's arm.
Moreover, the so-called learning is about learning and asking questions. If the students themselves have no desire to learn, no matter how much the teacher teaches, it will be half the result with twice the effort. If the students develop a rebellious mentality, the effect of teaching will be even less.
If you really want to learn, I suggest you go to the school after dark every day to listen. We have special people responsible for explaining the basic courses to you helpers."
Listening to Chen Zheng's lively talk, Kun Sang couldn't help but ask, "How many years did you study at that time?"
Kun Sang nodded and said, "The chief steward is a very casual person, not very strict."
"orange."
These words were the admonitions that Mr. gave us before I took up my post, and are also the teaching purpose of our Yuzhou Department. Yuzhou now has over one million students. Although they are getting older and older in terms of their age, as long as they become successful, they are definitely talents that can be used.
Kun Sang nodded and said, "It's very valuable."
Chen Zheng smiled and explained, "This is an old tree that I transplanted from somewhere else. This branch has been bearing fruit for several years. I was going to prune it this year so that new branches can grow next year.
Chen Zheng nodded to the guard who was speaking, and said in an approving tone: "You are right, the place itself is worthless. The Tang Dynasty is vast and rich in resources. Shuzhong alone is extremely vast, and there are many places like this in Yuzhou alone.
These places are worthless if they are not developed, but the places that my Yuzhou clan has visited are worth a fortune. My wealth is not what you see before you, but is here. "
Chen Zheng pointed to his head and asked, "Do you still think it's useless to learn these things?"
"Will you teach us these great subjects?"
"A nine-story tower is built from piled earth, and a tree that can be hugged by two people grows from a tiny seed. At the beginning, you will naturally learn the basics first. As your knowledge deepens, you will naturally learn advanced knowledge. My master's teachings do not discriminate based on race."
