The Reborn Wife is Farming

Although the calendar currently used by Daqi is improved every year, it is actually calculated according to the Tongtian calendar left by the previous dynasty, and the Tongtian calendar is derived from the Dayan calendar of the Tang Dynasty.

In order to compile an astronomical calendar, in addition to being proficient in astronomy and geography, one must also know about farming and arithmetic, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and once it is done, it will be famous in history.

Of course, Mu Yangling doesn't think that his younger brother is doing such a thing for the sake of leaving his name in history, but the key is that he has never found that he is particularly interested in this kind of thing before. He has read all four books and five classics very well, and he even took a History books discussed with her, but why do they like astronomy and calendar now?

Thinking of his father's attitude, Mu Yangling planned to have a long talk with his younger brother. If he was just on a whim, then it's better to dismiss this idea as soon as possible, if not...we'll talk about it later.

Mu Yangling dragged his younger brother to find a secluded place to talk.

In fact, Mu Bowen really didn't think of it on a whim. He had this idea a few years ago, long before he passed the Jinshi exam.

He was smart since he was a child, and he studied hard. When others were still struggling to take the talent test, he had already passed the Juren examination, and he was still in charge of an orphanage and a large farm. Compared with those scholars who closed their doors and windows and devoted themselves to studying, he thought clearly More.

He thought about his future long before he was admitted to Jinshi.

It's nothing more than being a Jinshi and becoming an official, but what kind of official should you be, and how should you be?

He is a second-class Jinshi, but he did not stay in the capital, but chose to be devolved to a local county magistrate, which seems unbelievable to many people.

Because he has a princess sister and a general father who stayed in the capital and entered Hanlin, he undoubtedly has the qualifications to worship the prime minister.

However, he didn't want to spend three years in the Imperial Academy. Although the Imperial Academy could teach him a lot, he wanted to do practical things for the people in the local area.

Mu Bowen has been a peaceful person since he was a child, without much ambition. In addition, he has always been protected by his sister under the wing. She taught him to have good intentions, and he has no desire for power. So he always felt that as long as he did what he liked good.

After becoming a county magistrate, Mu Bowen learned more about people's livelihood. Combining his experience from childhood to adulthood, Mu Bowen felt that scholars are very important, business is very important, and work is also very important, but the most important thing is Farming is not because of the so-called imperial advocacy, but a real cognition.

Only when farming is sufficiently developed and there is a surplus of agricultural products, can business develop, and if you have money, you have the capital to study, and industry can develop better.

In farming, apart from farming techniques and seeds, the most important things are farming time and water conservancy. When Qi Haoran was the county magistrate, he paid special attention to the construction of water conservancy in the area under his jurisdiction. Almost all the labor under his jurisdiction was spent on the construction of water conservancy.

He also personally walks the villages and streets to count the farming time and record the weather day by day. Sunny, cloudy, and rainfall are all recorded. In the past six years, even on New Year's Eve, it has never stopped.

However, this is not enough. There is too little data, and it is still far from what he wants to do. Besides, the mountains and geography are different in different places, and the water conservancy is naturally different, so he needs more data, whether it is astronomical or geographical. of.

He has now been promoted from magistrate to magistrate, but it is not very helpful for what he wants to do. In the past two years, he has read all the materials and documents he can find. He wants to get more materials and field work. The survey would have to leave the state.

So Mu Bowen wants to resign.

He had considered this idea carefully, and he had mentioned it to his father as early as last year, but Mu Shi did not agree.

Now the territory of Daqi can be regarded as peaceful, but it does not rule out that there are bandits, and the son is not very strong, and he runs around all over the place. Before he has an accident, they are so worried that they can't sleep or eat. If something happens, who will they cry to?

What's more, Mu Bowen is the eldest son, and the eldest son has to support the family. Now he has a wife and children, and he left with a pat on the ass, what about his wife and children?

Not to mention taking them with you, not everyone has the good health of the Cubs. Four or five-year-old children travel long distances, and they can die if they are not acclimatized or have a fever.

In a word, Mu Shi just refused to allow his son to resign and go out to fulfill his so-called ideal.

Mu Yangling was silent for a long time, and asked, "How is your spell?"

Mu Bowen glanced at his elder sister and said: "Sister, I have read all the books on magic that I could find, and I dare not say that I am proficient, but I understand most of them. If you don't understand, you have to continue to study or find more books. Read the book."

Well, you can't use this to delay time.

Mu Yang touched his head with a sigh, "I didn't expect that my Mu family could produce a scientist."

Mu Bowen's face was full of black lines, and he said: "Sister, I am not young anymore, you can't always touch my head."

Mu Yangling ignored him and continued: "Although I am very happy, what my father said is correct. You can't bring all your siblings and children with you. First of all, you can't guarantee the safety of your children on the road, and you can't Guarantee his education, but it's not right to keep them at home..."

Seeing his younger brother's face getting darker and darker, Mu Yangling sighed: "However, you can't think so much about ideals, otherwise can you still call them ideals?"

Mu Bowen looked better now.

Mu Yangling patted his butt and got up, "Since this is your ideal, then you should discuss this matter with your siblings yourself. My sister is old, so I can only support you from the heart."

Mu Bowen opened his mouth wide and said, "Sister, you have to help me speak nice words in front of my father..."

Mu Yangling waved his hand and said, "You should go and talk to your father about this matter yourself, I will cheer for you in my heart."

Mu Bowen looked at her with his mouth puffed out.

Mu Yangling ran away, but couldn't sleep at night. She pushed Mu Bowen cleanly, but she couldn't really care about anything, but with her father on one side and her younger brother on the other, it seemed that it was not good to help anyone.

Seeing her turn over again, Qi Haoran couldn't help pulling her over and hugging her, clamping her with his feet, holding her tightly in his arms, and muttering with his eyes closed: "Would you like If you don't sleep again, I will kill you."

Mu Yangling pushed him and said, "Get up a bit, I'm so hot."

Qi Haoran hugged her even tighter, and Mu Yangling sighed quietly.

Qi Haoran could only open his eyes and ask, "What did Bowen tell you?"

Mu Yangling could only tell Qi Haoran about his ideals and ambitions.

Qi Haoran closed his eyes again, and said: "That's right, good ambition, if he can write a calendar that is more accurate than the Dayan Calendar, not only will he be famous in history, but it will not be difficult to use it to make a fortune. Historically, anyone who can write a calendar They are all proficient in agricultural arithmetic and accounting."

He hugged Mu Yangling into his arms, patted her and said, "Don't worry, if he doesn't want to be a magistrate, let him go back to the capital and go directly to the Ministry of Industry. It is a more suitable place than the Ministry of Industry. After he has learned all the skills of the Ministry of Industry, he will consider going out to travel all over the country. At that time, you don’t have to worry about his wife and children, because his son will definitely support the family. I don't believe he can learn all the skills of those bosses in the Ministry of Industry within 20 years."

Mu Yangling: "..."
