In April, each province holds the provincial examination. Because there are too many students in each province, prefecture, prefecture, and county, the capacity of the examination room is limited. In order to avoid those with poor academic ability traveling in vain, there must be a screening before the three-year competition. This screening is called the scientific examination. The scientific examination is hosted by the academic administration of each province. As a rule, only those who rank first, second, and third place in the scientific examination are allowed to take the provincial examination.
???????????????????? However, those who have passed the third grade in the scientific examination and those who have not participated in the scientific examination can take the make-up test one month before the provincial examination. Those who are admitted are allowed to take the provincial examination, which is called "recording legacy".
In addition, the outstanding, outstanding and deputy meritorious students among the supervising students do not need to take the scientific examination. Students who were elected as Confucian scholars could also participate in the Qiu Wei without taking the examination.
Prefectural and county people-friendly officials still have one or two flexible quotas. Normally, the academic leaders will not reject their recommendations, so as to show that they will be wise by listening and will not leave any virtuous people.
Therefore, at this time, most of the students in Yufeng Academy rushed home to take the exams. Only a small half of those who had obtained the qualifications for the provincial examinations through various channels still stayed in the academy to attend classes.
In short, the academy is temporarily quiet, and Zhao Hao does not have to make a sense of existence from time to time. Finally, it takes some time. Kunshan Agricultural College next to Huazang Temple is going.
It was a holiday for Yufeng Primary School. Zhao Hao, an incompetent master, finally remembered that he still had two young disciples, so he asked Secretary Ma to call Xu Guangqi and Wang Heng to come and take the two children to see what was new.
Wang Heng is the only son of Wang Xijue. Zhao Hao has always regretted that he could not accept Chef Wang as his apprentice. When he went to Taicang to visit Wang Mengxiang, he took his son in to comfort himself. Anyway, they are ranked second, which is not bad.
But because he was only a six-year-old kid at the time, Mr. Zhao used the excuse that the child was too young and asked him to educate himself at home first.
In fact, Zhao Hao wants to accept Wang Xijue and his daughter Tan Yangzi as his disciple, but it¡¯s a pity that he can¡¯t open his mouth
As for Xu Guangqi, he was the disciple that Jin Xuezeng was ordered to take on his behalf when he was passing through Shanghai when he went to Chongming to take office. The child was also six years old at that time. Zhao Hao didn't even let the unborn Wang Zheng go. How could he let this big bull go? Although it is still a calf now, it has been raised since childhood, and the milk it squeezes out is smooth.
The Xu family was originally a wealthy merchant family, but was repeatedly plundered by Japanese invaders. By the time the news reached his father, Xu Sicheng, the family was already in decline. Xu Sicheng worked hard and finally started to improve. However, in the first year of Longqing, he lost all his money by speculating on raw silk and owed a lot of debt.
Just when the family was in despair, Jin Xuezeng appeared. The dignified new scholar and magistrate of a neighboring county wanted to accept apprentices on his behalf. Xu Sicheng naturally agreed to such a good thing, so Xu Guangqi also became the registered disciple of Mr. Zhao.
At that time, Jin Xuezeng was short of people, so he simply asked the Xu family to go to Chongming with him to take up the post. Xu Sicheng was able to write and do calculations, so he became his signature signer and also in charge of the county magistrate's private accounts. Now he is Jin Xuezeng's inseparable right-hand man.
Last year, Mr. Zhao opened Yufeng Primary School, so he asked people to take these two children to school. Although he did not teach in person, the teaching materials used were compiled by Mr. Zhao himself, so it was worthy of them.
Xu Guangqi and Wang Heng, now eight years old, are already second grade primary school students.
The two of them wore white straight tops with black edges from Yufeng Primary School and tied in a boy bun. One of the round faces is white and rosy, and the other is a pointy face and the other is red and white. They look very cute like little adults. When they saw Zhao Hao, they quickly bowed and saluted, calling him master.
"Well, not bad, not bad." Zhao Hao smiled and said to the round-faced child, "Wang Heng"
"Master, I am Guangqi" the round-faced child said helplessly.
"Haha, is that so? Why have you become so fat? Master doesn't even recognize you." Zhao Hao pinched Xu Guangqi's cheeks. He was forgetful and had never met these two children. He made a mistake. .
"My grandpa also said that I was greedy for gaining weight and losing weight." Wang Heng hurriedly came to the rescue of his master and said, "I've changed my appearance after not seeing you for a few days."
"Oh, hahaha." Zhao Hao couldn't help laughing and touched his head and said, "This kid has such a sweet mouth."
"Let's go, Master will take you to learn a lot." As he said that, he took a child in one hand and walked towards the gate of Kunshan Agricultural College.
Secretary Ma followed behind, thinking that the two apprentices finally looked more coordinated together with the young master. Others are too old
??~~
Kunshan Agricultural College covers an area of ??more than 200 acres and is surrounded by clear water. The fields, vegetable beds, mulberry, apricot groves, waterwheels, mills and barns all create an idyllic scene.
In fact, this was the original Wushu Academy in Liyang. After moving to Kunshan, Zhao Hao thought it would be good to keep the original name. But Ma Yilong disagreed. He had long been fed up with the group of scholars who were called academic farmers but were actually dedicated to their careers. He felt that these people were simply wasting his time. So he insisted that he no longer use the word "academy" and changed the name to the more straightforward "Agricultural College", so that all those who wanted to study would go to Yufeng Academy, leaving only?A disciple who sincerely studies agriculture.
As a result, 90% of the disciples transferred to another school, and only Shi Jizhi and Mao Mao Sanliang remained. Although the country is based on agriculture, who the hell wants to go to the fields to plant rice all day long?
Although Ma Yilong was well prepared, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Fortunately, Jiangnan Group has many farm managers who are in urgent need of training. Most of the field directors and agricultural technicians are proficient in writing and familiar with farming. The most important thing is that they really want to learn farming well, can endure hardship, and are willing to use their brains. This made Ma Yilong very happy, and he felt much happier than teaching those reluctant sour people.
Over the past year, he has trained two batches of 200 qualified agricultural technicians. Twenty more graduates were left to teach, and now there are more than 300 students in school at the same time.
When everyone entered the gate, they saw a piece of Kunshi that was about ten feet high and as white as snow, with six powerful characters written in large characters: "Relieve the difficulties of living people". It was the handwriting of Mr. Meng He, Ma Yilong.
"This scholar, no matter what he does, he must not forget the people." Zhao Hao smiled and taught the two disciples, and asked Shi Jizhi who came to greet him: "Where is Mr. Meng He?"
"I'm teaching agricultural technicians." Shi Jizhi is the executive vice president of the Agricultural College. His teacher is old and can't worry so much, so he has to take care of all the major and minor affairs of the college.
"Let's go and take a look." Zhao Hao smiled.
¡°Master, please come this way.¡± Shi Jizhi took Zhao Hao through the I-shaped teaching building. There are agricultural technicians taking classes in the teaching building, and the professors are graduates who stayed at the school last year. In the series of schools founded by Zhao Hao, it is a very common phenomenon to "lead the new with the old". Otherwise, where can we find so many teachers?
We can only solve the problem from scratch first. If we want to cultivate a qualified team of teachers from rough to fine, it will take time to accumulate.
After passing through the teaching building, you can see patches of green farmland in front of you. There are small signs on the ground with different class numbers and names written on them.
Shi Jizhi told Zhao Hao that this is the school field for students. Adhering to the spirit of "what you see on paper is only shallow, but you must practice it", Ma Yilong gave each trainee half an acre of land, starting with land preparation and seedling cultivation, and taught them step by step how to farm scientifically. When the students finish harvesting by themselves and return the grains to the warehouse, it will be time for graduation.
Throughout the farming process, Ma Yilong would take the trouble to teach them how to transplant rice seedlings, how to weed and remove insects, fertilize, irrigation and drainage, and devoted a lot of effort.
"Besides teaching, the teacher is still in his own experimental field, absorbing the strengths of each family and constantly improving agricultural techniques." Shi Jizhi smiled and said to Zhao Hao: "But all the people combined can't inspire the teacher as much as the young master alone."
"Hey, don't say that, I'm just lying." Zhao Hao waved his hand modestly.
"You're not talking nonsense." Shi Jizhi pointed to the rice seedlings in the field and said, "It's a cold spring this year, and the temperature has not reached the standard. If I hadn't used the young master's soot-black seedling cultivation method, the early rice would have been delayed."
"As long as it works, it will work." Mr. Zhao smiled and nodded. The so-called soot-black seedling raising method is actually to spread a thick layer of chimney ash in the cellar where Ma Yilong raises seedlings.
The black color absorbs heat during the day and the gray layer retains heat at night, which can increase the temperature of the soil by several degrees and provide nutrients to the seedlings, naturally not delaying the farming time. In later generations, before mulch became popular, this method was used to raise seedlings in rural areas.
The two of them were talking and came to the place where Ma Yilong taught - a string of ponds in the farmland.
The students, holding notebooks in their hands, gathered around Ma Yilong and listened to the old gentleman¡¯s loud voice:
"The mulberry fish pond is not a new method. It has been used in Huzhou for I don't know how many years. It is very mature and is especially suitable for collective production on your farm. Go back and dig the depression deep into a pond, and pile the excavated mud around the pond. On a high base, mulberry trees are planted on the base, fish are raised in the pond, mulberry leaves are raised for silkworms, and silkworm chrysalises and silkworm pellets are fed to the fish. The silt in the fish pond can be used to fertilize the mulberry trees. This cycle repeats, benefiting both sides, and can produce ten times the crop."
The students¡¯ eyes lit up when they heard that their income was linked to the farm¡¯s income. How could they not learn such a magical technology?
"It is not that easy to achieve a virtuous cycle and obtain the highest benefits. Generally, the ratio of pond to base is between six to four to seven to three, but after my exploration, the best ratio is actually five to Fifth, the pond should be dug into a rectangle like this, with six to ten openings connected like a centipede"
The wind is warm in mid-spring. Zhao Hao took his two disciples and listened quietly with Shi Jizhi while Ma Yilong explained the secret to high yields in mulberry fish ponds.
The old gentleman broke it apart, crushed it into pieces, and taught each other his treasures. When it came to the important point, he bent down directly, grabbed a piece of dark, wet loam, and explained to these agricultural technicians who had no interest in them how to judge the soil quality and improve the soil to preserve fertilizer
Zhao Hao's eyes suddenly became wet. If he didn't know who Mr. Meng He was, who could connect this old farmer with his trouser legs rolled up and a straw hat, with skin as rough as bark, to a former Hanlin scholar? ?
Speaking of which, Ma Yilong was a common scholar at the same time as Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng was already a high-ranking bachelor, but Mr. Meng He returned to his original roots and started farming.
So the question is, who is greater among these two?
