Chapter 116 Aoki Kunyang
Chapter 116 Aoki Kunyang
Tsutsuyoshi Shimadzu found a hidden corner, and unfolded the note Konoe Xisai gave her, with the word "forbearance" written on it.She stared at the words for a long time, but didn't see any flowers on it, so she rolled up the note and stuffed it into her mouth.
Ji Zong returned to Jiyi Hall, let others remove his shackles, and finally he could breathe easily.After changing her usual clothes, she went barefoot to the tea room.The box containing Samoyashi, that is, sweet potatoes, is still there, and San Langzuo is also waiting there.
"How is it? Have you discussed this matter with Shimadzu Tsutoyo?" Sanlang Zuo was looking at the file when Ji Zong came, so he quickly straightened up.
Ji Zong shook his head, San Langzuo knew how much she cared about the crops, and waited for the next article, "Go and find out the relationship between the Shimadzu family of the Satsuma domain and the Konoe Xi family."
San Langzuo was taken aback, and Yoshinaka said in a low voice, "I saw a note passed between the Royal Daisho and Shimadzu Tsutsuyoshi today, but I don't know if their relationship is personal or business."
"Then it's best not to negotiate with their family about the Samoyeon. Let's find someone to try it in private."
What Ji Zong likes most is San Langzuo's sensitivity to current events, "I'll edit a book in a while, and together with Samota, you can find a suitable person and help me give it to Xiao Chuan Sheng Chuan."
San Langzuo nodded, Xiao Chuan Sheng Chuan, he heard about Ji Zong when he fell off the cliff, and knew that he had saved Ji Zong's life and was very good at planting.
By the time the person sent out came back with the news, half a month had passed, the flowers on the branches were beginning to bud, and the winter jasmine had already bloomed once.Xiao Chuansheng asked the messenger to bring back a person named "Qingmu Kunyang". As for what Ji Zong did, it was out of his control.
For half a month, Ji Zong has been staying in the Jiyi Palace, rarely going out to socialize.The big names who came to take turns also saw that General Jiaxuan was eager to do something, and didn't want to be the first bird, so they all became silent on the surface.Ji Zong was happy to be at leisure, and checked the reports sent by Ji Yi every day, and listened to the gossip collected from various families. The rhythm was much slower than when he was in Ji Yi, as if it was a long vacation.
When Qingmu Kunyang was invited, Ji Zong knew that this person was a Confucianist.When she knew about it, she felt a little headache. Those who are academics must be more or less noble. I don't know why Xiao Chuan Sheng Chuan recommended this person to her.
As soon as Aoki Kunyang came in, Ji Zong's worries also fell back.I have to say that the education in this era is very good, and academics are also very popular and down-to-earth.Aoki Kunyang was born in the market and grew up in the market. He is proficient in Confucianism, but he is also full of curiosity and love for planting and all novel things.Unlike the imperial examination system of the Celestial Dynasty, she originally engaged in academics not to get promoted and get rich, but to solve doubts.
When Ji Zong took out the reserved samotaro and asked her if she was interested in studying it, the latter observed excitedly and was happy and stamped.It turned out that she also had a relationship with Samoyam. This crop came from the sea. She also studied it for a period of time, but the knowledge suffered because there was no place to practice it.The vassal of Kagoshima happened to have an intersection with her on this matter, and the two often exchanged ideas.Aoki Kunyang is also a studious and inquisitive person, and she consulted her friend Xiaochuan Shengchuan about this matter, so Xiaochuan Shengchuan recommended Aoki Kunyang when Ji Zong asked her.
"My lord, why didn't you come to me sooner! Alas, what a pity!" Aoki Kunyang sighed while holding a Samota. She also wanted to do research, but suffered from lack of space.She also wanted to go to the valley of Xiao Chuansheng's boat to do experiments, not because she was afraid of being infected with red-faced herpes or something.Instead, she likes to live in a bustling downtown, where there are crowds of people when she goes out.Listen to the gossip of each family, see new things, every day is so novel and exciting.
Ji Zong listened to Aoki Kunyang's words, and felt that this person really seemed to be reclusive in the city. "What? Is the timing of planting delayed?" This is what Ji Zong is most worried about, so she has been racing against time, hoping to catch up with the spring seeds and plant Samoyed taro.
Aoki Kunyang is rare to see a feudal lord who cares so much about farming, and he feels a little in awe.Food is the most important thing for the people, and people can live a good life only when they are full. Why do those in power always not care about such seemingly simple things?What they care about is the price of rice, money, taxes, and donations.Seeing that Ji Zong was in a hurry, she couldn't say anything more. She just calmed down and explained to Ji Zong slowly.
"The samo taro needs to be bred two months in advance before sowing. If you find me earlier, you can catch up with the breeding in January and February, and you can go to the ground in two days!"
Ji Zong couldn't help it either, when she knew about it, it was already mid-February, and after a lot of trouble to find Aoki Kunyang, it's almost April now.
"Then we can only wait for next year." Ji Zong found a new crop with great difficulty, and she was familiar with it, so she knew it was feasible, but it was still delayed.Thinking that the people on the western coast of Fannei had to spend the winter tightly, she couldn't bear it.
Aoki Kunyang smiled and said, "You don't have to wait for spring next year! This samo taro can grow three seasons a year! I missed January, and there are June and August! It's just that one season is missing."
When Ji Zong heard this, his eyes lit up!Don't blame her, she only knows that sweet potatoes are very common, but she doesn't know how many seasons sweet potatoes grow!It can be planted three times and grow three times. You must know that the main crop in the island country is rice, and it is a year of rice. In winter, the land will rest.Now, Satsuma taro can be planted for three seasons, making up for the idle period in winter.
"This samo taro is easy to feed, and it is also fertile! Planting it in rotation with rice can make it more vigorous. It would be great if I could see it with my own eyes." Aoki Kunyang wiped his palms eagerly, but unfortunately, she Had no chance to see it with my own eyes.Although it is Satsuma taro, the vassal of Kagoshima was cut down by Shimadzu Tsutsuyoshi long ago. It is impossible for this crop to be promoted in Satsuma.She was recommended by a friend to come here, so she naturally knew the stakes and would not go out and talk nonsense.Ji Yifan seems to be far away from Edo, she really can't bear to leave.
Ji Zong looked at Aoki Kunyang, thought for a moment, and suddenly became enlightened.she asked gently
"Are you used to living in Edo, because of the prosperity of Edo, or do you just like the troublesome and open academic atmosphere?"
Aoki Kunyang scratched his head, people in their late thirties still behaved a little childishly, "I just like the prosperity, not Edo." She was a little relieved, and there were famous names who wanted to recruit her, but most of them didn't like it. She has the habit of living in the downtown area.I feel that learning should be quiet, calm down, and even stay behind closed doors.Instead of questioning, Ji Zong seemed to be very happy to see her like this.
"Do you know the 'interpretation center' under Wakayama?"
When Aoki Kunyang heard the words, his eyes lit up!How could she have forgotten that the feudal lord Ji Yi in front of her had opened a "interpretation center", where there were regular lectures by great Confucianists, and leaders of all walks of life preached.It was really lively and exciting. When she thought about opening her eyes every day, she could see the heated debates about various schools of thought, which made her heart flutter a little.
"Your Excellency, you, what do you mean?" While confirming with Ji Zong, she excitedly rubbed her palms on the skirt pants, and her palms were sweating excitedly.
Ji Zong nodded and said, "Would you like to come back to Jiyi with me? Responsible for the breeding, cultivation and dissemination of Samoyam. Of course, you can go to the interpretation center at will during the rest of the time. It is best to share your experience with everyone."
Qingmu Kunyang didn't even need half a second to nod her head briskly. She is in a state where she is full and the whole family is not hungry, and she can leave as soon as she says.As if afraid that Ji Zong would go back on his word, she hurriedly performed the master-servant salute.
Ji Zong accepted her salute, nodded, and said, "It's just that there may be some things you need to do. I don't know if you are willing."
"Since I have already entered the master's door, the master's orders are as follows, and Aoki Kunyang will obey everything."
Ji Zong smiled and said, "I have always been interested in Lanxue. When the Samoyam situation stabilizes, are you willing to go to Nagasaki to learn various knowledge and technologies from those Dutch people?" In fact, Ji Zong did not doubt Aoki Kunyang at all. The answer, the reason why she asked, was actually to tie her up.Knowledge is also productive force, and talents are hard to come by.This can be considered as studying abroad at public expense, which is a great benefit.
Sure enough, Aoki Kunyang trembled with excitement, didn't say anything, but gave another big gift to Ji Zong.
"Go back and pack up your things, move here first." Ji Zong was also afraid of nights and dreams, and how many people were staring at him, afraid that things might change.What's more, this matter also involved the Satsuma clan.
"Yes!" Aoki Kunyang wished he could get up immediately and go to Kii, to the lecture hall under Wakayama, to listen to preaching, to breed, to promote new crops.
Ji Zong could see that Aoki Kunyang was a type who liked challenges and liked to learn new things, but he could let her try. This person might be of great use in the future!However, she didn't say anything now, she just recruited someone to accompany Qingmu Kunyang back to pack things, and signaled that she must protect this person.Aoki Kunyang followed the others and left, but Ji Zong was actually too worried.It is very common for daimyo to recruit a lot of talents, not to mention people like Qingmu Kunyang who are very knowledgeable. ownerless.
When Aoki Kunyang moved into the Jiyi Hall, he retreated after seeing Ji Zong, Ji Zong finally got rid of a worry.
"See if you're happy." San Langzuo looked at Ji Zong who was circling around the tea room, and smiled helplessly.It is really lucky for Kii to have such a feudal lord who cares about the basic necessities of the people in the feudal clan.
"No, San Langzuo, you don't know! How important this is! If you have food, people give it to you. Only when farmers give it to you can the finances of the domain improve. When the finances improve, the domain currency will be withdrawn! Unification Currency, grain prices! Sanlangzuo, I want to make Jiyi the most fertile land! The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the treasury and grain in the feudal lord’s mansion are piled up as high as a mountain. No need to borrow money, and no need to be afraid of disaster years!" Ji Zong was in the tea room Going around in circles, walking and talking, calm as her, but also a little excited.Now she is like the man in the story who borrowed an egg and thought about hatching chickens, laying eggs, and then building a house and marrying a concubine.He even fantasizes that it would be nice to count the money every day, like the miser Grandet, when the money is abundant.
For a time, she didn't know where to go and what she could do in this strange time and space, but now, she seemed to have found a near-term goal.She wants to make Ji Yifan rich and the people rich.Perhaps, this is the mission she came from across time and space.
No one else was there, and San Langzuo sat lazily with his hands behind his back, watching Ji Zong happily circling around.There was a doting smile on his face that he didn't know, and he thought Ji Zong was extremely cute from the bottom of his heart.Ji Zong should always be like this. If she can always be so happy, he will be willing to ask him to do anything.
This series of thoughts flashed through San Langzuo's mind, naturally he didn't even realize it, this kind of thought had long gone beyond the cooperative relationship between the two, and he didn't feel anything wrong at all.
