Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 143 Invite Feng An

"Then I'll go down and arrange personnel!" Lu Cai saluted Li Tai and prepared to notify him.

"In addition, arrange for a group of liberal arts students to set up a farm club, and ask someone to send over the semi-monthly and monthly magazines summarized by Chang'an Bookstore every quarter, and also remember to send over their manuscript records!" Li Tai took a deep breath and said. .

"Are you still going to arrange for the farm to go there?" Lu Cai was a little surprised when he heard Li Tai's words.

The so-called agricultural society is actually an organizational group composed of outstanding students within the agricultural college.

The purpose is to build up the Tang Dynasty and spread the world. In fact, to some extent, it can be regarded as a very rudimentary political party.

He has his own political ideas, and at the same time practices his own political ideas, coupled with Li Tai's guidance to a certain extent.

Because Li Tai doesn't want others to follow him because he is a dragon, but choose him because he is like-minded.

Under such circumstances, the organization of agricultural cooperatives came into being, in order to realize the simple idea of ​​changing Datang through productivity.

At the same time, this organization is the kind that aims to take root at the grassroots level. The people in it either become the person in charge of the bookstore, enter the establishment, or become agricultural technicians. Only these three types of talents who come from agricultural universities can enter agricultural society.

Although the rural cooperative was a political group in Li Tai's planning, it was an agricultural technology dissemination system in the initial planning.

The technical personnel conduct agricultural experiments, and then hand over the results to the person in charge of the bookstore for dissemination, and then let the agricultural officials they meet carry out localization and promotion, and finally give feedback for further improvement.

In this way, agricultural technology can be cycled from the laboratory to the implementation, and the agricultural cooperative is the hub of the entire system.

But Li Tai knows that as long as this thing is related to agricultural officials, when those agricultural officials become ninth-rank officials, or even from ninth-rank officials, this original agricultural technology group will soon form a political group.

This is beyond Li Tai's control, but after that step, they themselves will form a competitive relationship with the officials of the Confucian group.

However, at least for now, this rural cooperative is not a political group, but a technical group.

At the same time, this group has no interest in the "Horse Classic" published by the bookstore, but the monthly magazine named "Food" constantly summarizes the agricultural technology mastered, the agricultural tools invented, and even some future agricultural prospects, and the dissemination of agricultural schools summarizes knowledge.

This knowledge can basically only be understood by students who have gone to agricultural colleges, and some who are from Moke can even knead corresponding tools with bare hands according to the above explanations.

It can be said that these magazines can be regarded as condensed the essence of the knowledge of agricultural colleges. For those students who come out of agricultural colleges, as long as they are willing to study, they can learn a thing or two from these magazines.

At the same time, through this monthly magazine, the bookstore has become a channel to contact those graduates, so that these people can have a day or two every month to get together and get to know each other repeatedly.

We must know that this is not the era when knowledge is generally cheap, teachers' morality is gradually degraded, and even classmates are distorted by interests.

Not to mention classmates, even the same school itself is one of the most reliable relationships in this era.

So every few days when the monthly magazine arrives, classmates meet each other, study new food together, or even simply say a few words, it will become different.

Because inertia will make them a group, a group rooted in the grassroots.

Of course, the greatest significance to Li Tai is that he can find every student through these bookstores.

If they simply use this knowledge to farm and cultivate the land, then forget it.

But as long as they intend to join the government system, or even the public system, whether they are agricultural officials, soldiers, or doctors, Li Tai can give them appropriate condolences and benefits.

Li Tai has already thought about the reason, that is, you were proud of the school at the beginning, and now the school is proud of you, work hard for the revival of China, and never let down the school's training.

Then spend money directly on welfare every year, let the neighbors around you know that you will be promising after you come out of the agricultural school.

Therefore, such things as agricultural cooperatives, to a certain extent, undertake the role of contacting students of agricultural colleges and distributing benefits.

Under such circumstances, if you want to establish a rural cooperative in a place like Yazhou and Leizhou, and also distribute annual benefits and various monthly magazines such as "Food", this will directly increase the cost.

The most important thing is that this kind of welfare can't be an official business, so it can go through the channel of the court.

If it becomes a public matter, then other government units will definitely disagree, so they can only pay for it themselves.

From Chang'an to Yazhou, it is enough to take this trip, and you will need to travel frequently in the future, which will cost you a lot.

But it would be unrealistic not to set up a farming society there, because Li Tai was going to lay a foreshadowing there, instead of throwing this group of people in Yazhou and leaving them alone, and then let them fend for themselves.

Just kidding, although the agricultural college has matured and started to ship, but I still lack manpower. These are all educated high-tech talents, who would be willing to throw them away.

However, the cost of running this farm is probably twice as high as the combined cost of the ten farms near Chang'an, and the main cost is road costs.

But what can Li Tai do, Li Tai is also very helpless.

"Arrange it!" Li Tai took a deep breath and said, "This step can't be avoided."

When Lu Cai saw Li Tai say that, he naturally shut up, after all, it wasn't him who paid for it.

Not long after Feng Zhidai returned to the mansion with Feng An, Du Chuke sent someone to invite Feng Zhidai to watch the polo match the day after tomorrow.

Feng Zhidai was a little dazed when he received this invitation, he and Gao Ling are not very close!
"What happened?" Feng An looked at Feng Zhidai at the moment, and said with some puzzlement.

"Gaoling County Prime Minister Du Chuke, invited me to watch the polo match, hoping to bring relatives along." Feng Zhidai said.

"Aiming at me?" Feng An looked at Feng Zhidai and said calmly.

"Maybe, I don't have any friendship with Prince Yue's mansion in Chang'an." Feng Zhidai said, "But today, my father came to Chang'an, and the invitation from King Yue came here. He also specified that he would bring his relatives with him, so he wanted to come to his father here."

To be honest, Feng Zhidai really didn't feel that he had any friendship with Li Tai.

Because the sucrose sent from Lingnan was a tribute to the Shaofu Supervisor, and then Li Shimin gave it to Li Tai.

Because Li Shimin knows that Li Tai likes to eat sweets, like adding honey and sucrose to the tea to cover up the bitter taste of the tea, instead of adding soy sauce, mustard, or even vinegar to make the tea taste abnormal.

Therefore, Feng Zhidai really didn't know that because of sucrose, Li Tai had long been thinking about him, but this time Feng An came to see Li Shimin, so Li Tai remembered this matter, otherwise this matter should have waited until he left Chang'an Arrangements will be made in advance.

"King of Yue..." Feng An looked at Feng Zhidai, and said jokingly, "This King of Yue is not trying to win me over!"

"The prince is virtuous, the king of Yue has not yet reached the crown, how can he win the heir!" Feng Zhidai said hastily when he heard Feng An's words.

"Hehe!" Feng An sneered a few times, he climbed all the way from the Sui Dynasty to Zhenguan, and he has never seen any drama of seizing the throne.

Yang Yong, the prince, was killed by Yang Guang, and Li Jiancheng, the hidden prince, was killed by Li Shimin. What happened to the many Yue kings who killed the prince? Li Shimin was allowed to be the first day of the junior high school, but his son was not allowed to pass the fifteenth day.

As for age... Well, as long as there is someone who can stabilize the emperor's capital, it has nothing to do with age.

Now the Tang Dynasty is still short, so I can't give examples, but think about the great Han, Emperor Liu Zhao of the Han Dynasty destroyed Dou Xian at the age of 12, and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty Liu Hong took power at the age of 11.

As long as the guy next to the emperor's seat comes out with a few unbelievable child prodigies, what's the matter?

"Forget it, since you are here for me, then go see me tomorrow." Feng An waved his big hand and said indifferently.

"But what if the King of Yue really wants us to help him win the heir!" Feng Zhidai said worriedly.

"Let's see what benefits the King of Yue gave!" Feng An was not polite.

"If we offer benefits, we will agree?!" Feng Zhidai said somewhat worriedly.

To be honest, he really didn't want to get involved in the party struggle. After all, he was just a Wei Wei Shaoqing, and he really didn't want to get involved in this crap.

"You are stupid staying in Chang'an!" Feng An slapped Feng Zhidai on the head hard,
"The benefits are good, as for what work we are asked to do, what are we afraid of when the emperor is so far away in Lingnan Tiangao.

The message must be that the courier got lost and couldn't receive it! "

"This, this... this is not good!" Feng Zhidai said weakly when he heard Feng An's words, it was really unscrupulous.

"Is this method not good enough? I think Lingnan is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, so King Yue can't influence it!" Feng An said.

"No, you are in Lingnan, but I am in Chang'an! You have benefited from it, I am afraid!" Feng Zhidai said.

"What are you afraid of!" Feng An said, "At that time, if the king of Yue forces you, you can go directly to the Xuanwu Gate with your sword and kill yourself.

For the sake of you being a proton, someone will definitely stop you from committing suicide. If it’s not possible, you arrange a few people to grab the sword yourself! "

"Thank you, dear father!" Feng Zhidai replied with a wry smile when he heard Feng An's words.

"It's nothing, nothing!" Feng An patted Feng Zhidai on the shoulder and said, "I mean, the blood of the Heavenly Family like the King of Yue must be shameless, but people like us who came out of the barbarian land are shameless once in a while. You can't suffer too much!"

"I'll arrange carriages and horses! I'll meet the King of Yue the day after tomorrow!" Feng Zhidai said that his father was too unreliable.

Seeing Feng Zhidai leave, Feng An smiled, but his expression became serious when he thought of Li Tai.

To be honest, Feng An didn't think that Li Tai came to him to win him over, but more because he hoped that his son would be more vigilant.

Because, since he just arrived, at least Li Shimin must have sent someone to watch him.

Under such circumstances, it is definitely impossible for Li Tai to find him to win the heir, at least it doesn't make any sense to win him, the local emperor in Lingnan.

"It's just what King Yue wants me to do?" Feng An said that he really didn't understand.

After all, the place in Lingnan where birds don't shit, is sparsely populated, full of miasma, and full of snakes and insects. If it has not been the land of China since ancient times, I am afraid it will be abandoned by people.

But it's meaningless to think on your own. When we meet, it will naturally become clear.

Feng An was not worried about Li Tai plotting against him, because Lingnan really wasn't worth these Chang'an guys' plotting!

Soon, Feng Zhidai wrote back to Du Chuke, confirming that he would go.

The day after tomorrow, Feng An and Feng Zhidai generously drove their Shangzhu Kingdom car to watch the polo match.

Then Du Chuke arranged for him to enter the designated VIP box, while Li Tai had already prepared a banquet and waited here.

"King Yue, I've been waiting for a long time!" Feng An's eyes flickered with surprise when he saw Li Tai's young appearance.

And Li Tai said calmly: "Shangzhu Kingdom, Wei Wei Shaoqing, please sit up. You have met these two, Du Xiancheng, and this is Lu Cailu, the principal of the Agricultural College."

Several people exchanged a few pleasantries with each other, and Li Tai got straight to the point,

"I invite you two this time because I want to ask you two for something. I hope you can help me next time!"

"Please ask the king of Yue to speak!" Feng An said politely, "As long as we can do it, we will definitely agree!"

At this moment, Feng An decisively took over everything. Anyway, they were going to leave after taking advantage of it. Why should Feng An be ashamed.

"In this case, I would like to thank Shangzhu Kingdom for its generosity!" Li Tai said to Feng An, "Our agricultural school is going to arrange a group of people to go to Lingnan to study the crops in Lingnan. At that time, these people will need Shangzhu Kingdom to take care of them."

"Oh?" Feng An didn't expect that Li Tai was looking for him for this matter, so he didn't respond for a while.

However, at this time, Feng Zhidai said, "My father just came to Chang'an, and he didn't know that the King of Yue specialized in farming. Does the King of Yue want to establish a branch of an agricultural school in the Lingnan area?"

Li Tai explained:

"It can be understood in this way, but I believe you are more aware of the environment in the Lingnan region than I am.

I let them go there, mainly to study planting crops, and I am especially interested in sugar cane, which can produce sucrose.

I checked the classics and found that this thing seems to be only produced in Lingnan, or even in places south of Jiangnan. "

"So it's for sugar!" Feng Zhidai didn't expect that Li Tai's purpose of looking for him was actually for sugar.

"If the king of Yue wants sucrose, I will ask my son to give you ten catties every year when I pay tribute!" Feng An calmly said, knowing Li Tai's purpose, Feng An said, don't panic, isn't it sugar? What's the matter.

"Shangzhu Kingdom, what I want is not my own appetite, but something like sugar, which has the value of being a military supply!" Li Tai looked at Feng An and said, "So, I want to send people to study sugarcane and increase sugar cane. Increase the production of sugar cane, increase the production of sugar!"

"Military supplies?!" Hearing the word "military supplies", Feng An couldn't help but become serious.

Before he said it, Feng An didn't think that the sucrose was at most used as a tribute, but now that Li Tai mentioned it, Feng An immediately understood.

Because this thing is sweet and can bring calories, the most important thing is that the solid is easy to carry, and even the shelf life can be stored as long as it is stored for a long time, so sugar itself has the value of being a military supply.

And the military supplies mean that the imperial court will definitely strengthen the connection with Lingnan.
