    ,

    Twenty years ago, Song Yingxing and his elder brother Song Yingsheng took part in the provincial examination. One of them came in third in the province and the other came in sixth in the province.

    Third and sixth in the Jiangxi provincial examination!

    It's a pity that until now, neither of the brothers has passed the Jinshi exam.

    Three years ago, Song Yingshengquan was elected as the county magistrate of Tongxiang.  To put it bluntly, it is to use the relationship of the Ministry of Officials to by-election for official vacancies as candidates.  It must have cost money, otherwise it would not be the number one. Fei Yinghuan's prefect did the same thing.

    The family spent a lot of money to buy an official for his elder brother, but they really had no money to buy a county magistrate for Song Yingxing, so they delayed for two years to help Song Yingxing buy a teaching order.

    The Jiaoyu is barely an official, the principal of the county public school.

    Song Yingxing is now in his forties, and he came to Fenyi County to teach. This should have been the most important stage of his life, and all his works were completed in these few years.

    Unexpectedly, when I met Zhao Han, I was arrested by a group of rebels as soon as I started writing "Heavenly Creation".

    "Search the county school and find all this person's belongings," Zhao Han glanced at Song Yingxing, "especially the manuscripts!"

    After half an hour, the soldiers carried the box to the county government office.

    Zhao Han knelt down and looked through it slowly. There were Song Yingxing's travel notes, and countless technical information notes, including agricultural machinery, ceramics, bricks and tiles, metallurgy, gunpowder, textiles, mining, meteorology, and so on.

    "Heavenly Creation" has already started writing, but there is only the content of planting crops.

    Zhao Han picked up the few pages of the manuscript, but it was about planting rice, and there were many farm tools with pictures and texts.

    After a rough reading, Zhao Han commented: "It's ridiculous. There are early rice and late rice in rice cultivation. You only recorded early rice. For late rice, you can use Panjaponica to sow. Your data collection is not complete."

    "Um?"

    Song Yingxing used to look generous, but it wasn't until he found his manuscripts and materials that he became a little scared, for fear that the rebels would burn his manuscripts.

    Unexpectedly, the rebels actually discussed rice planting techniques with him. Song Yingxing frowned and said, "Is there really a way to grow late rice?"

    "Where are you from?" Zhao Han asked.

    Song Yingxing replied: "Fengxin County, Nanchang Prefecture."

    "As far as I know, farmers in northeastern Jiangxi have already planted late rice, and southern Jiangxi has also begun to plant late rice." Zhao Han said clearly, but the information actually came from the grain merchant.

    Regardless of the opponent's status as a traitor, Song Yingxing asked curiously, "Can you grow late rice with only Japonica rice?"

    "No," Zhao Han corrected, "I asked people to try planting late rice in Luling County, but the harvest was not very good. After careful calculation, it should be due to insufficient heat. Crops can grow well without water and heat.  If you go to the south, the heat will be stronger throughout the year, and I heard that in some places in Guangdong, rice can be grown two to three times a year."

    "Two to three seasons?" Song Yingxing was shocked.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "For many things, we not only need to know what is happening, but also why. Just like this kind of rice, if you want to harvest a few more seasons, you must be in the south. It can be seen that the reason is the heat of the sun."

    Song Yingxing said: "If there is a chance, I will go to Guangdong to see."

    Zhao Han squatted down again and continued to rummage, and finally found the materials for making weapons.  There are bows, arrows, gunpowder, guns, etc., but unfortunately no trebuchet was found.

    "Why is there no catapult?" Zhao Han asked.

    Song Yingxing replied: "I haven't seen it before. It is the warship of the Daming Navy. They either use artillery or crossbows. Who would use catapults?"

    Well, the catapult has been eliminated.

    It was almost time for dinner, Zhao Han dragged Song Yingxing to dinner, so that he could keep an eye on the information in the box.

    Song Yingxing followed in a daze, all he could think about was the wooden box.  Even if Zhao Han lets him go, this guy won't leave. Inside the box is his painstaking efforts collected for twenty years.

    There is wine and meat.

    Today, the whole army has meat to eat. After all, they have marched hard for many days, and they must replenish their bodies.

    There is no need to rob, take the money from the county magistrate, and run to the butchers in the city to buy it. The butchers dare not not sell it.

    "Bring the wine, I want to entertain Mr. Song." Zhao Han shouted.

    Mr. Song didn't speak, just sat down and looked at Zhao Han, wanting to get back his manuscripts and materials.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Mr. Song is eating."

    Song Yingxing said: "I have a long-term follower, and he got separated when I was running for my life."

    Zhao Han immediately ordered his subordinates: "Put up notices throughout the city, saying that Mr. Song is my guest, and ask Mr. Song's entourage to come to the county government quickly."

    "This this can't be done." Song Yingxing stood up in shock. Once the notice was posted,?Come back with me in a few days and have a look.  "

    After reading Song Yingxing's article, Zhao Han didn't want to talk about any more reasons, because the other party understood all these reasons.

    Between the lines, what Zhao Han read was only despair, and it even tasted like a broken jar.

    Song Yingxing was arranged to live in the county government office, and his servants soon came to see him.

    "How is it in the city?" Song Yingxing asked.

    The house slave replied: "These rebels are very good. They did not kill or set fire, but maintained law and order. Inside and outside the county town, it is better than before. Those who committed crimes were scared and hid."

    Song Yingxing was stunned and suddenly didn't know what to say.

    He is very clear about the current situation of Ming Dynasty, and the "World Games" was written very strangely.  The whole article is implicitly expressing the view of the end of the dynasty. At the end, there is a sudden sentence, saying that although it is in troubled times, scholars should not be depressed and should cheer up to save the situation.

    It's just self-deception.

    What can Song Yingxing do?

    Although he was born in a wealthy family, even the money for his brother to buy an official was obtained by patchwork.  And his elder brother, who only served as the county magistrate for two years, brought back a lot of money to the family.

    Song Yingxing was able to go to Fenyi County to teach, and the official money he paid for this also included the money embezzled by his brother!

    He is in the situation, can see clearly, and can't do anything.

    Alas, let's not talk about political affairs, let's indulge in side paths.

    The next morning, Song Yingxing took the initiative to visit Zhao Han, wanting to get a steelyard to verify the principle of leverage.

    The guard guarding the county government office said: "Mr. Song will stay for a few days, the main town is not in the county government office at present."

    Song Yingxing said in surprise: "He sent troops to Yuanzhou Mansion? ?
