He wrote altogether 20 books on agriculture for the benefit of farmers. In his ideas, he was influenced by Chinese books on agriculture and Dutch learning of his time. His teachings, however, were based largely on his ·own observation and the information he derived from contact with old farmers during his many inspection trips. They were therefore useful and practical.
