The next day, Jia Luren rushed over with the Jia Clan disciples.
From their appearance alone, they were all honest farmers. They did not look like scholars at all. It was obvious that they often farmed.
In this day and age, the imperial examinations had yet to be restored. If one wanted to be an official, they needed someone to recommend them. Classics and history were naturally inferior to those aristocratic families, and agriculture was not valued, so the Jia family could only farm and study.
Of course, even if there was an imperial examination, they could not compare to others. When it came to reading, the children of the Jia family could only read and write. It was impossible for them to make a fuss.
Now, Qin Mo gave them hope.
After counting, there were fifteen people. However, Qin Mo still felt that it was not enough." Is there anyone else?”
Jia Luren said honestly," There are some disciples, but they aren't skilled enough to be teachers.”
"It's okay. There are some great scholars in the Academy.”Qin Mo wasn't afraid of anyone who came. If he couldn't be a teacher, could he not be a student?
It was good to gather the number of people. Even if there was one talent among them, it would be a profit.
Jia Luren was naturally deeply grateful. Since the Nanbei Dynasty, books had been scattered everywhere. It was hard to find a great teacher with their qualifications.
"Have you harvested the rice?" Qin Mo suddenly remembered something.
The Great Tang used the lunar calendar. It was now the third day of the seventh month. According to the new calendar, it was already past the eighth month, the season of harvesting.
"The harvest has already begun, but there are still some fields.”Jia Luren didn't know why Qin Mo asked this question, but he still answered truthfully.
"Good!" Qin Mo's face was filled with joy. He smiled and said," I'll ask Your Majesty to help me harvest the rice tomorrow.”
"How can this be? Your Majesty is a man of ten thousand gold. How can you lower yourself to do that crude farm work?”Jia Luren and the others were terrified.
Qin Mo waved his hand and said," His Majesty has always wanted to increase the grain production. We have to let him see hope. Tomorrow, you guys choose a piece of land with the highest yield and let His Majesty see the power of agriculture with his own eyes.”
He had given Li Er a big cake. He had to let Li Er eat a bite first in order to receive unreserved support.
When Qin Mo said this, Jia Luren and the others were very excited.
Thus, he had people settle down the Jia Clan's disciples and went to the Imperial Palace to see Li Er.
Li Er was chatting happily with Empress Zhangsun in Lizheng Hall. Li Chengqian and Li Lizhi were sitting around their knees. When they heard the report from the chamberlain, they smiled and said to Zhangsun," This boy must have come for help."”
He knew Qin Mo's every move like the back of his hand. Naturally, he knew that Qin Mo couldn't find his teachers and students.
After entering Li Zheng Palace, Qin Mo bowed." Your Majesty, Your Majesty.”
The plump mature woman beside Li Er should be Empress Zhangsun.
"You are Qin Mo?" Empress Zhangsun looked at Qin Mo curiously and said," BenGong can be said to have a thunderous reputation.”
Qin Mo said," Your Majesty, you praise me too much. I don't deserve it."”
Li Er smiled and said," Guanyin Maid, I'm not wrong, am I? This kid doesn't know what modesty is.”
Li Lizhi was very happy to see Qin Mo." Qin Dalang, you're here.”
"Your Highness, this is my milk candy for you.”Qin Mo took out a bag of milk candies.
Li Lizhi took it naturally.
Empress Zhangsun said indignantly," His Majesty said that you used toffees to seduce my daughter, and he was right. If it wasn't for the sake of Yi Country Duke, he would have definitely gotten someone to hang you up and beat you up.”
Qin Mo broke out in a cold sweat. Why did this couple always like to get people to hang him up and beat him up?
Li Lizhi blushed and hid in Empress Zhangsun's arms. She gave Qin Mo a shy look.
I'm not a lolicon! I'm not a lolicon! I'm not a lolicon.
Qin Mo thought to himself.
After teasing Qin Mo for a while, Li Er asked," I heard that your Chinese Academy of Sciences couldn't find anyone. Are you here to ask for help?”
Qin Mo said seriously," I've done my best for the Imperial Court and worked hard day and night. Why is Your Majesty mocking me? I'm afraid it's not what a monarch should do.”
Li Er's eyes widened and he was speechless for a moment. What you said makes sense, but I'm actually speechless.
"Why have you come?" Li Er said with a bad attitude. This Shandong kid actually scolded him. Should he ask Shu Bao to hang him up and beat him up?
his evil grows near the edge of the gall.
"Your Majesty, please go harvest the rice."
"What?"
Not only Li Er, even Empress Zhangsun was surprised by Qin Mo.
Thus, Qin Mo repeated," Your Majesty, please go and harvest the rice.”
"What are you up to?”Li Er knew that Qin Mo wasn't someone who would shoot without thinking, but he couldn't figure out his intentions at the moment.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember how much rice can be produced by science?”Qin Mo asked instead of answering.
"A thousand catties per mu."
"How much is the Great Tang producing now?" Qin Mo asked again.
"Two hundred catties."
Qin Mo smiled and said," It will take some time for a yield of 500 kilograms per mu, but we have already achieved 400 kilograms per mu.”
"In just a few days, the rice has doubled. Are you lying to me?”Li Er didn't believe it.
Qin Mo said," Your Majesty, have you read Mencius?”
"I have." Li Er nodded. He realized that he was always led by the nose when talking to Qin Mo. He was very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.
"Mencius said: Shun was born in the fields, Fu Shuo was born in the buildings, Jiao Li was born in fish and salt, Guan Yiwu was born in scholars, Sun Shu 'ao was born in the sea, and Baili Xi was born in the market. It can be seen that there are great talents in the countryside that have not been discovered. Today, I have discovered a talent buried in the countryside. This person's name is Jia Luren, and he is a master of agriculture. He uses the technique of seed selection and breeding to produce 400 catties of rice per mu.”
Li Er said excitedly," Is that true?”
Qin Mo said," I'm not lying. I've already introduced Jia Luren to the Chinese Academy of Sciences as the dean of the Agricultural College.”
"Good! Tomorrow, I'll go harvest the rice and see how much rice I can produce per mu.”Li Er made a decision.
Li Er knew better than anyone what doubling the yield per mu meant. It could feed the people, increase taxes, and stabilize the Tang Empire.
Therefore, Li Er felt that Qin Mo had done a great job and rewarded him with a jade pendant.
When they left the palace, Li Chengqian sent them off. He was very impressed by Qin Mo." Qin Dalang, you're really bold. You dare to scold my Imperial Father, but I don't dare to refute him.”
Qin Mo smiled." Sometimes, I'm also intimidated by Your Majesty's domineering aura.”
Li Chengqian didn't understand that Qin Mo was scolding Li Er. He only thought that it was the aura of a tyrant, so he nodded his head vigorously.
Xue Rengui, who was waiting outside the palace, found out that the child who sent Qin Mo out was the current crown prince. He felt that Qin Mo was very powerful and became even more motivated.
