Chapter 120: The Legend of the Dragon
Chapter 120 The Legend of Dragon
In his answer sheet, Wei Guangde proposed the idea of setting up a supervisor to study crops, especially drought-resistant crops. In fact, it was to establish a later Academy of Agricultural Sciences. In his vision, he set up a special department to study crops and find high-quality and high-yield crops for promotion.
There is no way to set up a special prison? Wei Guangde calculated by fingering. He could not find a suitable management department in the six ministries, and it seemed that the Imperial Heaven and Imperial College or the Imperial College were not suitable, so he could only open another department alone.
There is nothing to say about the new prison, but opening a new department means adding a few more than a dozen official positions. Although the grade will not be very high, the fifth rank is considered to be the best.
Since ancient times, agricultural production has been relying on the weather for its income. Although everyone knows that the construction of water conservancy facilities will fight against drought and flood disasters, there must be those conditions.
Wei Guangde proposed to establish a new department to specialize in crop research, high yields and high yields, and to take into account drought resistance. Although many examiners think it is a bit metaphysical, they all think this idea is good.
First of all, the money is not paid by yourself. Secondly, the official hat is added, and finally, it is in China where food is the most important thing. What else is better than this suggestion?
The truth about the saying "no farming is not stable, no business is not rich" was actually understood by the ancients. Doesn't the selection and breeding of high-quality varieties to improve land output reflect the importance that these scholars attach to agriculture?
Due to space limitations, Wei Guangde's article is less than 300 words. In fact, he can't find more things to fill in, so he really can't explain it clearly.
He knew that many new varieties in later generations were under the banner of "drought resistance". He didn't know how they made them.
I just read the reports of Academician Yuan doing hybrid rice, but he couldn't explain clearly how it was made.
"I've seen this article a long time ago, maybe I'll just call him a scholar's fame."
Many examiners thought this in their minds, but they just had this idea in an instant, and they put down the paper and were thrown behind them.
However, the name Wei Guangde was still remembered in the minds of many of them.
At this time, Wei Guangde had already left Nanchang with Zeng Yuanshu and others on a boat.
Zhu Shilong, Zhang Ke and others had to continue staying in Nanchang Prefecture because they also had activities such as Lu Ming Banquet and Confucius Temple. Wei Guangde wanted to leave this sad place as soon as possible.
Wei Guangde became famous, but he didn't know that at this moment he was sitting on the bow of the boat and staring at the vast Poyang Lake under his feet in a daze.
This boat was hired by them at the pier outside Nanchang City and sent them to Jiujiang.
This time, all the candidates who came to Jiujiang Prefecture together, except for those on the list, Zeng Yuanshu stayed in Nanchang City. He is now studying at Yuzhang Academy, so he will naturally not follow him.
At this time, the only one who was usually close to Wei Guangde was left with labor.
Lao Kan was also afraid that something would happen to Wei Guangde at a young age, so after Wei Guangde left the cabin, he sat next to him and watched him.
Wei Guangde naturally would not do anything stupid. Although he failed to pass the imperial examination, he was already a scholar and could already settle down in the Ming Dynasty. What else could he not understand?
What's more, he is still young now, so he has time to participate in the imperial examinations and continue to make a future.
As the passenger ship moved forward, the lake shore in the distance appeared before them.
“Huh?”
It was a bit strange that Lao Kan discovered something wrong first.
"Boatman, why do you dock? You haven't crossed Changling yet."
Lao Kan asked loudly to the boatman who was driving the boat behind him.
"This guest official is Xingzi Town ahead. Our boat will rest here for a day before leaving."
The boatman immediately answered Lao Kan's question.
"Why? I didn't say that before."
"Cheer, it's September 9th soon. I'm afraid it won't work if I don't dock to rest."
The ship's owner explained, but he was stunned by Wei Guangde on the other side.
"On September 9th, you will have to dock and rest. Don't drive the boat?"
Wei Guangde asked curiously.
"Haha, guest official, this is the old rule of Poyang Lake. On March 3rd, do not bend by the river by the broken boat. On September 9th, do not bend by the river by the broken boat. During these two solar terms, strong winds often blew on the lake. If you don't shore, you will be afraid of accidents."
The boatman replied with a smile on his face.
"March 3, September 9, there is a strong wind on the lake?"
Lao Kan was a little puzzled. He seemed to have never heard of it. However, he lived in Jiujiang and didn’t know about Poyang Lake. He just felt curious.
"It's all the rules passed down from generation to generation. In these two seasons, heavy fog and strong winds often occur on the lake. An old friend of mine has seen the Dragon Prince appear with his own eyes, jumped out of the water and flew into the sky, leaving only a figure of a green dragon.
Even though the Dragon Prince had already flew away, the lake was still full of wind and waves. The figure it left behind was rolled up dozens of feet high and rushed straight into the sky, and the fish and shrimps in the lake were rolled into the sky."
When Lao Kan heard the boatman say this, he became interested, "Since that's the case, he should go to the lake to see the Dragon Prince's style with his own eyes, and also worship him."
"If you can't do it, you can't do it. Can anyone watch it?"
The boatman said hurriedly, "He didn't want to be forced by these scholars to go out of the boat to see the Dragon Prince on the lake."
"When seeing the Dragon Prince fly away, most of the boatmen around him are in trouble. The Dragon Prince is gone, but the afterimage left is enough to overturn the ships on the water around him. My old friend is also good at water and has a big life, so he saved his life."
"All the afterimages are so powerful?"
Lao Kan's eyes widened as if he didn't believe it.
"Why am I lying to you? I'll go ashore after that and never leave the boat again."
The boatman continued.
Lao Kan and Wei Guangde looked at each other, and Wei Guangde had some guesses in his heart, but he was not very sure.
There are also legends about water monsters in later generations. Although many of them say they are large fish, if they can defeat boats, they must be large ships, which is not something freshwater fish can do.
"Tell us, just dock if you dock. If you stay on the boat for a long time, it's also good to go ashore."
Lao Kan continued to inquire with a smile.
"I remember what he said. At first, the water surface was calm, and suddenly there was a strong wind. Then a dragon soared into the air. Countless water splashes brought by the body gathered in the air and swayed in a dragon. The surrounding water surface was blown near the afterimage and then rolled to a high altitude."
The boatman said this and couldn't help but shudder. He looked at the calm lake. Fortunately, the pier was not far away.
"The ancestors passed down, and at most, three dragons popped out of the lake. The momentum, the heaven and earth changed color, the sun and the moon were gone, which was scary."
The boatman was talking about the stories he heard there. Wei Guangde and Lao Kan were stunned. After a while, someone in the cabin heard the movement outside and walked out and sat aside to listen.
It's a bit novel, for those of them who only read books.
"Ascending to the sky at the vernal equinox, and hiding to the abyss at the Autumnal equinox."
At this time, a scholar suddenly inserted a sentence.
Wei Guangde and others nodded slightly after hearing this. There are records in the book that said, "Fuyao", "Sheep's Horn", and the dragon.
Three chapters are on the shelves at noon. I hope readers will support you. I will update 4,000 words every morning. Even if it is on the shelves, it is no exception.
Chapter completed!
