The Reborn Wife is Farming

Mr. Liu was just startled, and then said: "Write it down, and pay back when you have money."

Shiniang Liu nodded, "We have to thank Bowen and the Mu family. If it weren't for the ten taels of silver, I don't know where to find money to buy medicine for you."

The medicine that Pang Kongqing gave was strong, but it was also expensive, plus the money to supplement the body in the later period, ten taels of silver was not too much, so it was said that this person could not be sick.

Mr. Liu nodded and said regretfully, "It's a pity that Bowen is a military member. Otherwise, with his studious and smartness, he will definitely be able to walk ahead of me in the future."

Shiniang Liu smiled and said, "I heard that Master Mu Jun is now a thousand householder, and if he goes up one level, he will be out of the military. At that time, Bowen will be able to take the exam."

Mr. Liu smiled wryly, "Where is it so easy? It is a threshold from a thousand households to a general. But most of them can guess some, Qianhu is obeying orders, but the generals have to train and lead troops to fight, unless Master Mu can be promoted to another level within ten years, otherwise the blog post will be delayed."

"Actually, if it wasn't for Bowen's military status, he could try it out next year."

Shiniang Liu didn't expect her husband to think so highly of Mu Bowen, "The child will only be nine years old next year, right?"

Mr. Liu nodded, "Actually, the children's test is mainly about memorization, both of which are Bowen's strengths. The child memorizes things very quickly. He can read them two or three times according to the textbook, and then recite them twice with his eyes closed. He can memorize the whole thing by turning around. I have written down all these articles, and this is the first time I have seen such a smart person when I grow up."

Shiniang Liu smiled and said, "I thought he had a photographic memory?"

Mr. Liu said with a stern face: "How can there be so many people in this world who can't forget? He is very good if he has this ability. The key is that he still has understanding. I always read it first by myself, and then refer to the sentence-by-sentence translation of "Shu Wen Jie Sentences". However, that child has his own opinions when reading the translation, and he doesn’t fully agree with Zhu Zi’s explanation, which shows his talent, but it’s a pity, he is not a good student..."

Shiniang Liu often heard her husband lament this. She used to think that Mu Bowen was well-behaved, sensible and studious, but now it seems that her husband has a feeling of sympathy for him.

"But it's also because he has good conditions. His sister bought him a lot of books, so that he can read the classics at will. The average student's family does not have this condition. Even the student with the best conditions in the academy family can't do what his sister did." One point, you can spend so much money to buy so many books back..."

You know, children who are generally enlightened are "Thousand Characters", "Three Character Classic" and "The Analects of Confucius". If there is a condition, they will buy a single volume of "Zhu Zi's Commentary". If they are talented, they will continue to buy books.

"Sir," Liu Shiniang twitched a bit, but still asked, "Then are you going to end next year?"

Next year happens to be the triennial provincial examination.

Faced with Liu Shiniang's expectant eyes, Mr. Liu reluctantly shook his head, held his wife's hand, and said, "You can't let your mothers and I suffer for the imperial examination, right?"

Shiniang Liu immediately said: "I'm not afraid, Mr. Gong, you'd better give it a try. Next year, the academy will be closed for a year. I'll go out to pick up some clothes for washing, and my parents, uncles, and younger sisters will be farming. It shouldn't be a problem." , anyway, Xingyuan Mansion is only a few days away from us, so you can try it."

Mr. Liu was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head, "No, last year was drought, and this year's drought is even worse. No one knows what will happen next year. Only relying on those lands may not even be able to pay taxes."

Shiniang Liu stopped talking immediately, because last year and this year, the output of the field was indeed not even able to pay taxes, and the husband took money to make up for it. there is none left.

Mr. Liu closed his eyes and said, "Wait again, let's get through the past two years first, and I'll be more confident holding the book."

Shiniang Liu didn't encourage him anymore, but her mood did drop a lot.

But when Mu Yangling returned home, he asked his younger brother to write a recruitment letter, planning to recruit three young and middle-aged men who were good at farming and thoughtful to study farming.

While writing the blog post, I asked, "Do I still need to study farming?"

"Can you plant without research?"

Bowen thought about it seriously, "I didn't know it before, but I know it now," Bowen said: "I thought that farming only needed experience, and it would be fine after planting it once."

"You don't call it farming, you call it obedience." Mu Yangling found out "Qi Min Yao Shu" and showed him, "Those who really know how to farm will know how to compare and research, so they can pursue the optimal yield. Farming is also an art with the goal of minimizing labor force."

Bowen opened his mouth wide. It was the first time he heard that farming could become an art.

Mu Yangling touched his head and said, "Look, you don't understand, do you? But Jia Sixie conveyed such a message that agriculture can be regarded as a separate subject, Bowen, if it wasn't for my father and mother who wanted to call you an imperial examination, I really wouldn't I don’t think it’s good for you to study stereotyped essays, it’s better to choose what you’re interested in and study.”

Bowen put down his pen and asked seriously: "Then sister, what do you like?"

"I used to like weapons, so I learned the subject of mechanical manufacturing and automation, but now I think planting and animal husbandry are also good. At least for now, I am very interested in them, and I will improve the two technologies and develop two industry as a target..."

Bowen looked at his sister dumbfounded, because he was surprised that Mu Yangling regarded planting and animal husbandry so noblely that he didn't listen to the previous sentence in his heart. Looking at his sister whose eyes were bright with excitement, he felt that her sister would Farming is farming, at least not like my aunt thought that farmers should plan food in the field, and farming is farming, but I think my sister regards it as a goal and an ideal .

It turns out that farming and breeding can also become an ideal!

What is your ideal?

Bowen frowned, taking the imperial examination to become an official? But what is the purpose of being an official?

Bowen suddenly panicked, as if he didn't know what he should do.

Mu Yangling didn't notice the abnormality of his younger brother, but just smiled and touched his head and said: "So we have to invite a few people who are proficient in farming and have ideas to study with my sister, maybe the rice in our Xingzhou Prefecture will also be The yield per mu can be the same as that of Jiangnan, or even higher, and the yield per mu of wheat can also be higher.”

Bowen immediately picked up his pen, "Then sister, I will write it now, and tomorrow I will go to the county with you to post it. How much should we pay them?"
