Chapter 237: Saint, A Farmer Who Is Only Good At Theory [Please Subscribe, Please Subscribe In Full]
Looking at the shocked faces of Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma, and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, etc., Yan Changqing couldn't help but show a hint of pride.
In the past six months, he has only done two things.
The first thing is the construction of the Agricultural College.
The second thing is the compilation of agricultural college textbooks.
The first thing is easy to say, as long as he produces relevant design drawings and clearly states his needs, then those craftsmen and master craftsmen who have been working in construction for a lifetime will naturally turn his needs into reality.
But the second thing, writing textbooks for agricultural colleges, is very troublesome.
The first is because Yan Changqing was only a science graduate student in his previous life, not an agricultural graduate student.
Although he was influenced by his ears and eyes, he also knew a lot of relatively advanced knowledge about agriculture.
For example, improving agricultural production tools, updating production technology, building water conservancy and improving irrigation tools, finding and cultivating improved seeds, manufacturing retting fertilizers, coexistence of planting and fisheries, etc.
However, he only knows the theory of all these things, but he doesn't know the slightest bit about the actual operation.
In other words, the things he knows are too high-level and not down to earth.
He needs to find a way to put himself and the advanced agricultural production knowledge he knows from mid-air to the ground.
The second problem is that although he also has the talent for farming that is imprinted in his blood as a flower grower, and he is more or less able to grow something himself.
But obviously, based on his personal experience in his previous life, the most he could do was grow potatoes, cacti, onions, vegetables and other miscellaneous things based on his personal interests.
But really, like rice and wheat, he has no idea when these grains should be sown, when they should be weeded and pested, and when they should be harvested!!
To put it bluntly, if he was really asked to plant rice, he might kill the rice!!!
At that time, a farmer who discovered, planted and popularized potatoes and was known as Saint, another farmer after Shennong, ended up planting rice without any work. That would be the biggest joke since ancient times!!!
So in order to solve this problem, Yan Changqing found a large number of "experts" who are proficient in agriculture. They are actually old farmers who have been farming for a lifetime.
Although such old farmers may not even know a single person, they have been farming their whole lives and know the planting times of various crops and the various daily planting precautions by heart!
What Yan Changqing has to do is to ask these old farmers for advice and record all their insights and experiences in growing various crops throughout their lives.
Then bring together the opinions and experiences of these old farmers to find out what they have in common, and then find out the differences among them so that these old farmers can discuss with each other based on these differences.
Finally, Yan Changqing recorded the similarities and the differences that were unanimously recognized after hundreds or thousands of veteran farmers discussed it in clear, straightforward and easy-to-understand language, and compiled it into a book!!!
Similarly, Yan Changqing also told many old farmers about the advanced agricultural production knowledge he knew and asked them to practice according to the theories he said.
For example, how to cultivate hybrid rice, how to fertilize, how to plant and breed rice and fish, etc.
A group of veteran farmers practiced based on the theories he gave, and he recorded all the various problems encountered during the practice and the related solutions.
Finally, he made a final core summary of the various recorded materials, and then compiled them into his agricultural college textbooks.
It can be said that in the past six months, most of his energy has been focused on the compilation of textbooks for the Agricultural College.
I don’t know how much effort was put into it, but now the textbook "First Grade of the Agricultural College" is in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Fang, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, etc.
And this is why Yan Changqing mobilized a group of literate Jinyiwei to help record verbatim what hundreds or thousands of old farmers said about their experiences and insights in growing various crops.
Finally, all the Jin Yiwei came to him, and he reviewed and summarized the results.
Otherwise, even if he is given another year, he may not be able to come up with such a textbook "First Grade of Agricultural College".
Although today, he may still be unable to actually grow a rice plant.
But at least he can talk about the planting theories of crops such as rice, wheat and so on casually.
After all, in the past six months, he had been collecting, writing, and summarizing the precautions and methods for planting various crops almost every day. As time went by, he naturally memorized them.
Today, in terms of crop planting theory, he is almost on par with those old farmers who have been planting crops all their lives.
Of course, only in theory.
However, with these theoretical foundations, at least he does not have to worry that when he appears in the future under the name of Farmer Saint, others will be stumped by others with common sense planting issues of crops, thereby revealing his identity as Farmer Saint.
Looking at the "First Grade Volume of Agricultural College" in his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing and said:
"good!"
"good!!"
"Okay!!!" 463
“This is the foundation of the farm!!!”
"This is the foundation of national agriculture!!!"
"With this book in hand, the farmers of hundreds of schools of thought will prosper!!!"
"Among the scholars in the world in the future, there should be some scholars from rural families!!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately put down the "First Grade Volume of Agricultural College" in his hand, looked at Zhao Changqing impatiently and asked:
"Where are the books from other schools of thought such as Legalists, Medical Doctors, Mohists, Famous Scholars, Politicians and Political Scholars?!!"
"Mr. Yan, take it out quickly and let us take a look!!!"
Yan Changqing rolled his eyes helplessly and said angrily:
"In the past six months, it has been very difficult for me to compile and summarize such a book, Volume 1 of the First Grade of Agricultural College."
"And even so, farmers' planting books have just stepped out of a big framework and just started a chapter.
"How can I have time to summarize and compile books from other schools of thought such as Legalists, Medical Practitioners, Mohists, Famous Scholars, Politicians, etc.!!!"
