Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 104 Li Tai's Arrangement

Among the group of people who came to study, Chu Suiliang was the highest among all the people.

However, Chu Suiliang did not come here voluntarily.

After all, Li Shimin likes to write quite a lot, and Chu Suiliang himself is a great calligrapher. Chu Suiliang feels that if he survives for a few more years, he should be able to be a living man by Li Shimin's side, and then slowly get through.

After all, with the emperor's side, promotion is fast.

But his father Chu Liang, as one of the eighteen Hongwen Academy bachelors around King Qin, resolutely recommended his son Chu Suiliang to study here in preparation for the future construction of the Grand Canal's water transportation system.

This is not because Chu Liang wants to bet on Li Tai, but because the Chu family is from Qiantang, and this group of people will be trained as teachers in the future. When the branch school of the school in the south of the Yangtze River is established, Chu Suiliang will naturally be the first choice for offering sacrifices.

After all, this is to open a school, not to become the chief executive, and being a local is conducive to promoting the construction of a school.

Therefore, Chu Liang, who is more tactful, saw the benefits of his status, and decisively made corresponding arrangements.

Relatively speaking, Chu Suiliang is the easiest to make meritorious deeds, and there are people like Chu Liang in the court who can go directly to Tianting as assistants. Basically, if Chu Suiliang has made meritorious deeds, he can rise steadily.

The most important thing is that after being an official for a few years, if Chu Suiliang is transferred to a local official or transferred to the central government, there will be someone below who can help.

It can be said that Chu Liang's IQ is definitely the top figure among the eighteen bachelors, and his choice is also right in the general direction.

However, because of his background and experience, he has not worked in the local area, so he can participate in the government, but he cannot become an important minister of the court.

So Chu Liang wanted to make up for his son's shortcomings in this regard, and help his son further pave the way.

In real history, Chu Liang also supported Li Shimin's policy of expanding the territory and opening up the territory, so he let Chu Suiliang join the army to fight against the Turks.

While being politically correct, he added a resume to his son, which increased Chu Suiliang's weight in Li Shimin's eyes.

After that, Chu Suiliang basically became a new star in Zhenguan's political arena at that time at a speed of every two years.

Although Chu Suiliang came to the Agricultural Institute somewhat reluctantly, he still listened to Chu Liang's words, so he could only bite the bullet and come here under the recommendation of his father Mao Sui.

As for the other Liu Rengui, he is the county magistrate.

Li Shimin felt that Chu Liang, a guy with local connections, was not enough to establish an agricultural school, and he needed someone who could do practical things in a down-to-earth manner, so he chose Liu Rengui to come in.

For Liu Rengui from the eighth rank, even if he can't become the Jijiu of the branch school of the seventh rank, it is not a problem to become a prime minister of the branch school of the seventh rank. After all, promotion and treatment are the real deal.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Li Tai's agricultural school was different from normal Confucian private schools, it would be basically impossible for a grassroots person like Liu Rengui to have this opportunity.

Therefore, among this group of people, Chu Suiliang and Liu Rengui became the representatives of this group of students, and the others were basically Enyin's generals or talents who had just passed the Mingjing test, and even those who passed the Jinshi test No.

And Lu Cai introduced this group of students to the main hall of the Agricultural Academy, and Li Tai was already waiting here.

These people didn't know Li Tai, but they were all highly intelligent, if not human.

Now that they saw Lu Cai staying beside Li Tai respectfully, they could more or less guess Li Tai's identity.

However, Chu Suiliang stepped forward and saluted Li Tai, "Student Chu Suiliang, I have seen the sacrificial wine."

Compared with other people, Chu Suiliang had really met Li Tai.

Although he only taught calligraphy for a few months, and then Li Tai was kicked out because he offended Kong Yingda, but Chu Suiliang had really met Li Tai.

Others wanted to salute, but Li Tai immediately made a gesture of returning the salute, and said to Chu Suiliang first,

"Master Chu, back then you were my teacher of calligraphy, but now you are studying agriculture, does that mean that if three of you go together, you must have my teacher?"

"King Yue, you can offer wine to me, but I can't be your calligraphy teacher!" Chu Suiliang said with a serious face.

"Eh..." Li Tai looked at Chu Suiliang's serious face, as if if you continue talking, I'll bang my head on the pillar and forget it. Obviously, this is related to Chu Suiliang's expression that he doesn't want to climb.

After all, Chu Suiliang still has face.

Compared with his relationship with Li Tai, or his own reputation as a calligraphy master, Chu Suiliang decisively chose the latter.

After all, if he really taught a student like Li Tai, Chu Suiliang felt that he should find a rope and hang himself.

Don't call yourself a master of calligraphy in the future, can't you be ruthless to be a courtier!

But the other people present looked at Chu Suiliang's decisive attitude and doubted the relationship between the two.

But they don't understand, and they don't know that Li Tai's handwriting is not good, which is clear to the entire Tang Dynasty.

As long as you are a person of this era, as long as you have learned knowledge and learned to write, no matter how poor your writing is, you will still have a spirit of energy in it, but Li Tai just can't write it. gas.

To a certain extent, it can be regarded as the only one. If others want to imitate, it is difficult to imitate.

Even the so-called skilled scholars who can imitate other people's handwriting, when they imitate Li Tai's handwriting, there is no way to cover up their own energy.

No matter how it is written, it has a certain charm, and the higher the calligraphy attainment, the harder it is to get rid of it.

And those who are not good at calligraphy, and it is difficult to write Li Tai's neatness, so it can be regarded as the only one in Zhenguan.

"Forget it, forget it!" Li Tai expressed his generosity, since Chu Suiliang didn't admit it, then it's better not to make a relationship.

"Everyone, it is my luck to enter the Agricultural Institute today.

It is the purpose of you to come to my agricultural school when you graduate and establish a branch school of the agricultural school to reserve talents for the water transportation system. "

Li Tai looked at the crowd and said calmly,

"So you are both students and teachers. This is what I hope everyone understands."

"How to arrange us for the wine sacrifice?" Chu Suiliang asked when he heard Li Tai's words.

"The courses of agricultural colleges generally have three to four years of teaching time.

It is divided into two subjects of literature and mathematics in the preparatory course, mainly to let students understand the basic knowledge of characters and mathematics,

After that, there are agricultural science and elective subjects, and you can graduate after completing all of them. "

Li Tai gave a basic explanation of the basic subjects of the agricultural college, and then continued,
"You are at least talented in Mingjing. There is actually no need for the two subjects of literature and mathematics. You can directly study agriculture and select courses.

As long as your two subjects of agriculture and elective subjects meet the standards, it is considered that you have passed the student subject, and you can be a teacher in an agricultural school.

Relatively speaking, I think you can be teachers, but some students can't. "

"What is the agricultural science test, and how is it assessed?" Chu Suiliang said to Li Tai with a bit of a bad feeling.

"Autumn planting is just around the corner. If you plant wheat, next summer's harvest will be over two stones and eight buckets!"

Li Tai looked at the crowd and said,

"All you need is to listen to the teacher's instructions, and don't do it yourself, and you will be able to complete it."

"You mean, we want to farm the fields ourselves?!" Chu Suiliang couldn't help being surprised.

At this moment, even the Mingjing students from a few small aristocratic families felt a little bit upset.

After all, they have never experienced such a thing as farming since they were born with pens.

"Yeah!" Li Tai nodded and said, "This is an agricultural school, and everything is based on agriculture.

If you can't even plant the fields, then you go to open a branch school, that's not the brand of my agricultural school.

Of course, I will never make things difficult for you. If you don't want to stay, you can leave now.

It's not a shame, it's just that I don't share the same path with my agricultural school.

After all, the choice of life is not just such a path, leaving now is better than being unbearable in the future! "

Hearing Li Tai's words, the people present looked at each other, but no one left in the end.

After all, no one is an idiot!
This matter was assigned by Li Shimin, even if Li Tai doesn't care, if Li Shimin keeps it in mind!
If I go to be an official on a rotating duty in the future, someone will jump out and say, oh!It's just you, who can't even stand farming for a year or two. Why do you entrust this important task? Let someone else do it.

After all, there is still a shortage of officials in this world? !One more disadvantage of oneself is one more advantage of others!

"Don't worry, it's very easy for you. After all, you can directly cultivate the ripe fields that have already matured, and you don't need to recultivate the fields."

Li Tai gave a word of comfort, but it sounded like it wasn't comforting at all.

Li Tai continued: "Agriculture is a subject that everyone must study. In addition, if you want to graduate, you must choose one of the four subjects of mathematics, medicine, ink, and music. After passing it, you will be considered a pass."

"Isn't liberal arts an elective subject?" Chu Suiliang was a little surprised. He remembered that in agricultural colleges, basically after passing the preparatory course, in addition to agricultural science being a compulsory subject, liberal arts is also an elective subject, which can be provided for students to study.

After all, in the library here, there are still many students who are transcribing the classics sent by those aristocratic families, and even sorting out the thesis of graduates. This is also a way out for liberal arts students, but recently there is a trend of doing more and more.

"Don't look at the joke, the liberal arts elective is for ordinary good families.

At least you all are graduates of the Mingjing, and even have a family of calligraphy, how can the teachers of the agricultural school teach you! "

Li Tai admitted decisively, and continued,

"If you want to study, I personally recommend it, preferably mathematics and medicine.

What the water transportation plan lacks is mathematics talents. In the future, the branch school will train one of the mainstream subjects, and there will definitely be mathematics talents.

The second is medicine. Because the imperial court intends to establish a medicinal material storage base, Shu and Jiangnan are both good choices. If Jiangnan has rich medical talents, then Jiangnan will be more competitive!

As for Mo Ke and Le Ke, if you are interested in doing concurrent training, I will not object.

Because in the final analysis, you have wider knowledge and richer knowledge than me, and I believe you will have a choice that is worthy of you! "

"So, the standard for graduating from an agricultural college is to pass the undergraduate course of agriculture and pass one elective. If you have no other questions, then I will leave first!" Li Tai concluded looking at everyone.

Chu Suiliang said, "Then for offering wine, did we join other classes to study?"

"That's not true!" Li Tai shook his head and said, "You are different from other students, so you are in your own class.

However, in order to make it easier for you to integrate into the agricultural college, some outstanding members of the agricultural college will be arranged to assist you.

In principle, the principle of one-to-one assistance is adopted,
If you go to Jiangnan to open a branch school in the future, you think these students are suitable as helpers.

As long as you can persuade them, you can also bring them to the south of the Yangtze River to assist you in your work. "

Still the same sentence, Li Tai doesn't care if they pull people or not.

They don't pull people, but imitate their own model, so the people who come out are still people of their own class, and it would be better if they can pull people, and they can influence the branch school through these students.

As for these students, to be honest, even if they come out of the agricultural college, they are at best foreign officials.

But to give these people a fancy, follow them to the branch campus of the Agricultural University, at least the starting point will be higher than the foreign officials arranged by Li Tai. Maybe personal emotions will affect their choices, but as long as it involves their position , the vast majority will still support Li Tai.

It is impossible for me to take care of everyone who comes out of the agricultural school, but what I can do is to create as many opportunities for my students as possible.

But whether they can seize this opportunity depends on themselves.

Strictly speaking, Li Tai is very clear that before he becomes an adult, or before he really moves from the local to the central, he must accumulate enough background for himself.

And what is your own background, naturally these talents who graduated from agricultural institutions, or even graduated from branch institutions.

They are a natural alliance with themselves, whether they will check and balance them after they succeed in ascending the throne is another matter, but as long as they do not ascend the throne, then they are their basic base.

The larger their number and the higher their official position, the stronger their foundation is.

At this moment, Li Tai stretched out his hand and introduced Lu Cailai:

"This Lu Cai, Lu Chuzhi, you have all met, his position is the prime minister in the school, you can also call him the head of the mountain.

Because of my age, I am in charge of all the specific affairs.

In addition, he is also the head of the music department. If you want to take the music department as an elective, you can also ask him to sign up.

He basically arranges all your affairs in the school.

All problems in the school can also be asked to respond to him. In this agricultural school, his actions are my will.

If he did something wrong, I will bear the responsibility as well! "

Li Tai understands very well that Lu Cai can definitely manage the students, but this group of people has the grace of the family, the landlord's scriptures, not to mention ghosts and snakes, but they are not a group of easy to provoke.

As the king of Yue, I can definitely keep them under control, but according to Lu Cai, it would be a miracle if he wanted to control them completely.

So it is definitely necessary to give Lu Cai a platform by himself.

Of course, as long as Lu Cai is given time, I believe Lu Cai can still deal with them bit by bit.

Where is there so much time for them, and they are not really allowed to complete three or four years of courses here.

In Li Tai's opinion, this group of people should be able to get kicked out to work after they understood that farming is not easy in the first year. Staying for an extra year would be a great waste of resources.

But no one can guarantee whether there are geniuses who are partial subjects, or whether they are not good at the subjects they set by themselves.

So staying for one more year should be regarded as a chance for some people who accidentally performed abnormally.
