Chapter 483: Wang Shao

The scholars in the Song Dynasty were not comparable to those in the Han Dynasty. Many scholars in the Han Dynasty could discuss the Tao when they sat down, and they could kill people on horseback. They were not only highly educated, but also had good physical fitness; After a while, he was so tired that he was out of breath, and looking at Shen Long in front of him, he was fine.

"If Yuan Ze is tired, you can go to the side to rest for a while, and then continue to work. We will divide the three acres of land equally." The problem of lack of work can not be used to it, and he has to do the work that should be done by him.

"Master Daoist, this has never been done in the yamen, why don't we help." The servant who followed was very awkward, so he hurried forward and asked.

"That's right, Daoist, the yamen is a scholar. They can do all these rough jobs there, and they don't have a few acres of land. The villain can do it by himself, so let's rest!" uncomfortable.

"If you are free, go over there and help repair the house!" Shen Long arranged for the servants first, and then said to Wu Xiaoyi, "I am also a educated person, since I can do it, why can't he? Even if it is this You still have to follow me to learn the farming skills." The farm tools made by Shen Long are not the same as those popular in the Song Dynasty, and Wu Xiaoyi is not quite used to them at the beginning.

"Did you hear that? You all go and help!" Wang Yu said out of breath. He felt that Shen Long's arrangement must have a deep meaning. Mencius once said: "Heaven will send a great mission to human beings. You must first work hard on your heart and muscles. ... As long as Da Song's fate can be saved, he can persist in this suffering.

After driving away the servants, Wang Yu wiped off his sweat, and then started to work; by the time of lunch, Shen Long's two acres of land had been hoeed, Wu Xiaoyi had hoeed about half an acre of land, and Wang Yu's land hadn't been moved yet. .

The food was made by the servants who borrowed pots and stoves from Wu Xiaoyi's house, and it was far inferior to the food in Wang Anshi's mansion. If it was in the past, Wang Yu might not be able to eat much, but today he did all the physical work all morning. It was delicious, so I ate two big bowls without knowing it, and I burped.

"Walk a hundred steps after a meal, and live to ninety-nine. It's not good to rest right after eating, Yuan Ze, come with me!" Wang Yu was not in good health before, but now he has done such heavy work Son, Shen Long was really worried that he would be tired, so he took him for a walk outside the village.

"How does Yuanze feel today? Are you feeling aggrieved?" Feeling that Wang Yu seemed to have something to ask, but it was difficult to ask, Shen Long asked first.

"Don't dare, I'm just a little puzzled, let Wu Xiaoyi and others do this kind of thing, why should the Taoist priest do it himself?" Wang Yu didn't dare to say that he was tired.

"Hehe." Shen Long knew that he was talking about himself, but he still felt aggrieved for himself in his heart, so he smiled and said, "I have already told you before, what your Confucianism lacks is the ability to make cakes,

This agronomy is also one of the skills of making cakes. If you don't do it yourself, can you learn these skills? "

"It's easy to understand on paper, but you have to do it yourself. Only if you have done it yourself, you will know how deep to dig, what to pay attention to when planting seeds, and how to take care of the seedlings when they grow... These tasks Some old farmers in the village know how to do it, but they are illiterate and unable to tell more people about their experience, so I have to use you scholars... I will not tell you how to grow these grains, everything has to be summed up by yourself , as much as you can comprehend, it is up to you whether Da Song can have thousands of catties or even ten thousand catties of grain per mu in the future!"

As soon as he said this, the pressure on Wang Yu immediately increased. He is also a smart person, otherwise he would not have passed the Jinshi exam at such a young age. After thinking about it, he said, "I understand, this is like learning archery. "No matter how well you memorize it, it is better to bend your bow and shoot a few arrows yourself, and I will definitely cultivate it with heart."

In the past, Wang Yu would definitely not be willing to do such a thing, but he was too ruthlessly stimulated by Shen Long before, and coupled with the temptation of a thousand or ten thousand catties per mu, Wang Yu forcibly endured it.

It seems that the things I showed them before are still effective. Wang Yu has changed, which shows that not all scholars in the Song Dynasty are rigid guys.

"Here, drink some to restore your strength, and you will continue to work in the afternoon!" Shen Long took out two cans of Red Bull, opened one and handed it to Wang Yu. Farming is considered exercise, right? Drinking sports energy drinks should be fine.

Wang Yu took a few sips and felt that the taste was a bit weird, but it was very delicious. He didn't know whether it was really effective or a psychological effect. After drinking a can of Red Bull, Wang Yu consciously recovered a lot of strength.

"Daozhang, let's go back and continue working?" Wang Yu was a little anxious because his two acres of land were still far away.

"Don't worry, just look at the sunlight in the sky! It's the time when the sun is the strongest, and it takes more energy to go out to work at this time, so unless you are rushing to harvest and plant, under normal circumstances, it's better to wait for another half an hour until the sun is not so strong. It is better to work when it is more intense, and this is also a useful experience." Shen Long pointed to the sun and said.

"You are a scholar, you can't just work, you have to think more, think about whether the farm tools you are using are the best, whether there is a way to make better farm tools, and then think about why the ground has to be so deep and shallow Or whether it is good or bad to go deeper...these are all knowledge!" Shen Long tried to turn Wang Yu's thinking from traditional literati into science students' thinking.

"When I was studying in Jiangning, I saw farmers resting in the shade by the roadside at noon. At first, I thought it was because they were tired from farming and wanted to rest. I didn't expect there to be such a reason. There is also a great way in it." Wang Yu pondered for a while Fan, found that this is indeed the case.

Unknowingly, the two of them had reached the main road leading to Kaifeng outside the village. There were more and more pedestrians on the road. Wang Yu subconsciously wanted to cover his face. Yes, I feel a little ashamed and don't want to be seen by acquaintances.

But looking at Shen Long, he was standing there generously, not at all uncomfortable, Wang Yu felt a little ashamed immediately, and put his hand down again.

At this time, a group of people appeared in front of them. The leader was around forty, with a rather extraordinary appearance and a weathered look on his face, as if he had driven a long way.

Wang Yu took a closer look and couldn't help being a little surprised, "Hey, isn't this Wang Zichun? He also returned to Beijing? Oh, yes, the book given by the Taoist priest once said that Zichun did return to Kaifeng at this time. "

"Wang Zichun? Could it be Wang Shao?" Shen Long thought for a while and asked, "Since we meet each other, why doesn't Yuan Ze go say hello?"
