Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 179 I'll Choose You

Because he was born in Moke, Moke's students are basically his basic background in Du Chuke's view.

But even so, in the process of dispatching the ink masters, Du Chuke discovered that as the situation stabilized, the main use of the ink masters was only to study craftsman skills.

Naturally, it cannot be said that it is wrong to study these skills, but it costs money to study these things.

Compared with when Li Tai pointed out a direction, and then Mo Ke quickly researched the actual items, I don’t have this ability. At most, I let them study blindly. It’s better to let these people assist me in Gaoling government affairs and become Gaoling officials.

Of course, even such an official position is already considered a good position for people from good families.

But Du Chuke understood that this was just a waste of the potential of the ink scholars.

Almost all of them are the best in mathematics, and they invented various utensils along with Li Tai during the development of Gaoling.

But with Li Tai's departure, it is no longer possible to continue to invest money and time in research as before.

It's not that Du Chuke didn't want to spend money, but that even if Du Chuke did, he didn't know what to study.

The will to regard science and technology as the primary productive force is really too difficult for people like Du Chuke to understand.

Although Du Chuke didn't understand the true role of Mo Xuezi, Du Chuke understood that at least this group of people could truly realize their potential and value only in the hands of Li Tai.

Because of this, Du Chuke decided to send these Mohist students to Li Tai and let Li Tai use them.

Du Chuke understands better than anyone else that Li Tai attaches special importance to things.

Moreover, Li Tai's emphasis on craftsmen is not to use them as exotic skills for fun, but to truly use them as a tool to improve labor efficiency.

So Du Chuke sent this group of Mohist students to Youzhou, maybe it could help Li Tai.

Li Tai naturally didn't know that because of the letter he sent over, Du Chuke judged that he was short of people.

What is missing is not the kind of elites who can do things for Li Tai, but grassroots people who can do the work.

In addition to the bad people he wanted, he even found a way to squeeze out some of the students from the agricultural college and sent them to him.

At this time Li Tai came to the Youzhou branch school and went to see Wang Xuance first, Wang Xuance also saluted Li Tai when he saw Li Tai.

After the two sat down, Li Tai said to Wang Xuance, "Because I have been dealing with sundries in a small village in Tianjin recently, I finally have some free time now, so I came here to pay a visit. Congratulations to Wang Lang for becoming the head of the Youzhou branch school."

"If it wasn't for King Yan's recommendation, I, Wang Xuance, wouldn't be able to become the head of this mountain." Wang Xuance looked at Li Taidao, "And King Yan is the Youzhou Academy's sacrifice wine after all, so if there is anything that needs the help of the Agricultural Academy, the Youzhou Branch School is also willing." Do your best!"

Hearing Wang Xuance's words, Li Tai smiled calmly, and the eight teeth that were exposed seemed to be shining brightly.

Li Tai said seriously, "I don't know, if Shanzhang Wang becomes the Shanzhang of the Youzhou branch school, does he have any plans for the future!"

Hearing Li Tai's words, Wang Xuance said in a slight silence, "Xuance really has doubts about taking over the academy, but he also expects himself to be diligent and diligent so that he won't miss the school's academic affairs."

"Do you still want to stay in this school for the rest of your life!" Li Tai asked after hearing what Wang Xuance said.

Wang Xuance was startled when he heard Li Tai's words, his original calm posture seemed to be difficult to maintain.

And Li Tai looked at Wang Xuance and said, "Master Wang Shan, do you know why I want to build an agricultural school?"

"I heard the rumors in the school that it was you, King Yan, who set up the ambition that everyone has food and everyone has clothes, and gradually established an agricultural school!"

After all, Wang Xuance had stayed in the agricultural college, and said, "There are four bold words you made in the college!"

"Yes and no!" Li Tai said calmly when he heard Wang Xuance's words, "Of course anyone can say noble words, just listen to them.

But in fact, the establishment of branch schools is to mass-produce available talents to assist the court in completing certain large-scale projects.

For example, the agricultural college is the product of research to popularize the task of wheat and increase more farming talents. "

Wang Xuance was stunned when he heard Li Tai's words, but he didn't expect Li Tai's words to be so straightforward.

And Li Tai continued,
"During this process, because of the successful implementation of the "Water Transport Plan" in Weishui River, the imperial court also needed a group of cadres.

Assist in the completion of the "Water Transport Plan" for the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal from south to north. After all, students from agricultural universities cannot be used.

Moreover, there are still too few people in Gaoling Academy, so there are Youzhou Branch School and Jiangnan Branch School, two schools were born! "

At this moment, Li Tai didn't get into the topic directly, but slowly talked about the cause and process of the birth of the Youzhou branch school,

Hearing this, Wang Xuance couldn't help frowning.

He naturally understood that it was impossible for the imperial court to select all officials from agricultural schools.

After all, the entire Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was contracted by Gaoling Academy, so it would be too big to lose.

"King Yan, why are you telling me this!" Wang Xuance said in a low voice when he heard Li Tai's words.

"I just want to say that I made this plan, so I know that it is unrealistic for you to rely on this plan to compete with Chu Suiliang!" Li Tai said calmly,

"He must have worked harder than you, but I'm sure, with his Chu family's status in Qiantang, he can manage more resources than you. As for you, I'm afraid you can't even be counted as an aristocratic family!"

"Could it be that the King of Yan also judges people by their family background!" Wang Xuance couldn't help but lower his voice when he heard Li Tai's words.

Li Tai shook his head and said, "I'm just telling you the truth, his father is Chu Liang.

Although he is not good at practical matters, the contacts left by the Prince Qin's mansion have already paved the way for Chu Suiliang.

After completing this matter, Chu Suiliang should be recalled to Chang'an by his father to train him well.

And Chu Suiliang himself is also talented, if it is said that it will be common to wear red and purple in the future! "

"The king of Yan provoked Chu Suiliang, I'm afraid it may not be all out of his heart!" Wang Xuance said bluntly to Li Tai without being moved at all.

"Yeah!" Li Tai admitted with a nod, and continued, "I made the "Water Transport Plan".

So I know that no matter how hard you work on this aspect, you will not be the one who picks the peaches in the end.

That being the case, why not go the other way! "

"Do you seek refuge with King Yan?" Wang Xuance said with a bit of sarcasm when he heard Li Tai's words.

To be honest, Wang Xuance didn't intend to go directly to Li Tai after all.

Nonsense, now Li Tai is only 12 years old, Li Shimin is still in his prime, even if he is not Jane in the heart of the emperor, at least he can be a normal official.

What to do to seek refuge with Li Tai, just for the so-called seizure of the heir apparent?
Wang Xuance said that he has nothing else, but his bones are a little bit hard.

"Take refuge? To serve Datang is to serve me, so why bother talking about taking refuge!"

Li Tai shook his head, and said righteously at this moment,

"The imperial court is not an either-or battlefield. What is the difference between honestly doing things for Datang and doing things for me!"

Wang Xuance looked at Li Tai's posture as if his body was starting to glow, and wanted to complain but didn't know how to complain.

Finally, Wang Xuance took a deep breath and said, "Since that's the case, why did King Yan come here today?"

"Of course I came here for the Tang Dynasty!" Li Tai was upright, staring at Wang Xuance with piercing eyes.

Wang Xuance was stared at by Li Tai's straightforward eyes, but they also looked at each other, but neither of them would blink.

In the end, it was Li Tai who said first, "Do you know "Grass Seed Project"!"

"Hmm!" Wang Xuance watched Li Tai start to speak, heaved a sigh of relief, and said,

"When Li Shanzhang was still at the Youzhou branch school, I was the person responsible for the cultivation and selection of grass seeds for the "Grass Seed Project"!"

"That's why I came to you today!" Li Tai looked at Wang Xuance and said,
"Grass Seed Project, now that we have found a suitable grass seed, we should enter the next stage!"

"This..." Wang Xuance was a little dazed when he heard Li Tai's words, and said, "What is the next stage?"

"Naturally, it is the stage of planting grass on the grassland to see if it can be cultivated on a large scale."

Li Tai came back to his senses, and said suddenly, "You should know why the Grass Seed Project was created, right?!"

"This... I heard that Li Shanzhang said it was to cultivate fodder for livestock? Isn't that the reason?" Wang Xuance said.

"Uh... Forget it, you are the real handler now, and you are the head of the Youzhou Academy, so you have the qualifications to know!"

Li Tai thought about it for a while, and decided to tell the person who did it the whole story, saying,

"Actually, the purpose of the "Grass Seed Project" is to eradicate the existence of alien races in the grassland.

It is difficult for foreigners to learn to farm in the grassland, so let them learn to grow grass, let them complete the transition from nomadic to farming, and let them live on the grasslands by chasing water and grass, and let them live like the people of our Tang Dynasty, making swords. Farming life for the plow.

At most, the grass they grow is for domesticating their livestock, but we just grow it and eat it!

Only by changing the grassland from living habits can Datang really bring the grassland area into the hinterland! "

"Is that how it works?

In the name of planting grass, in fact, it made the grasslands change customs and customs, and became my Chinese people? ! "

When Wang Xuance heard the reason for the entire "Grass Seed Project", he felt a clear sense of mission.

Wang Xuance said excitedly: "This "Grass Seed Project" was conceived by a talented person in the imperial court. It is unpredictable but moistens things silently!"

Li Tai stretched out his finger, pointed at himself, and said rather proudly, "It's me!"

Wang Xuance looked at Li Tai, Li Tai looked at Wang Xuance, and finally Wang Xuance took half a step back and saluted Li Tai.

Li Taidao, "That's why I hope you can jump out of the "Water Transport Project" and invest in the "Grass Seed Project".

Because the "Water Transport Plan" was tried from the Weihe River to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal for implementation, there were too many people in the imperial court who divided the meat.

There are aristocratic families, rich families, palaces, and ministers, even if you are the head of the Youzhou Academy, the meat you can get is limited.

Instead, you might as well invest resources in another project that is not being valued.

It seems that one of the most important reasons for Ma Zhou to stand out is that he assisted Du Xiang in completing the entire Weihe experiment.

Then Ma Zhou became Du Xiang's deputy, with outstanding achievements and a bright future.

Now in the grass seed plan, there is also a lack of such a pioneer who is willing to move forward and become the assistant of a certain minister in the future! "

Listening to Li Tai's drawing of cakes, Wang Xuance began to think about it. Wang Xuance understood that Li Tai hoped that he would be the pioneer of "Grass Seed Project" just like Ma Zhou did "Water Transport Project".

Through Li Tai's analysis, Wang Xuance looked at the "Water Transport Plan" from a higher level, and soon realized that whether he himself, Chu Suiliang, or even the Youzhou branch school and the Jiangnan branch school, they were all just for this "Water Transport Plan" It's just a foreshadowing.

And the entire "Water Transport Plan" has just begun, but the credit has already been divided into seven or eight.

Li Tai made the plan, Du Ruhui was the one who actually executed it, and Ma Zhou was Li Tai's agent, so basically all the credit for Li Tai will be credited to Ma Zhou, and Du Ruhui will naturally give the first credit as the price. .

But if Li Tai didn't care, it would be even less likely for the people below to come out to argue, and at most they would get some leftovers.

Even so, this credit is enough for Chu Suiliang to return to the central government after finishing the gold plating.

But if I, and Liu Rengui want to develop further, it is more of a matter of fate.

No way, who told me that I didn't have a father who had joined the Qin Palace as an eighteenth bachelor!
But now, Li Tai let himself lead the "Grass Seed Project", and he only needs to complete the "Grass Seed Project" just like Ma Zhou completed the "Water Transport Project".

Then he can copy Ma Zhou's growth trajectory, and also rely on his meritorious service to become a real official with a bright future!

Thinking of this, Wang Xuance still had his own persistence, saying:
"King Yan, you value me so much, but I am not yours.

Aren't you afraid that I will be so successful in the future that I will take your credit for nothing and not repay you! "

"So you are worried about this matter!" Li Tai said with a calm smile when he heard Wang Xuance's words,
"Then let me ask you a question, will you be proud of the rise of Datang?"

"Yes!" Hearing Li Tai's words, Wang Xuance answered firmly without any hesitation.

"Then are you willing to devote yourself to the glory of Datang, even risking your life?" Li Tai continued.

"Yes!" Wang Xuance didn't know why Li Tai said such words, but Wang Xuance's answer was still firm!
"If that's the case, then why can't I put resources on you!" Li Tai resolutely affirmed,
"You have to remember that what you did was not for me, but for Datang.

Don't ask me to remember what you have done, but ask yourself to have a clear conscience!
As for why I choose you, because the "Grass Seed Project" needs people to implement it after all.

And if you are suitable, I will choose you! "

Seeing Li Tai's frank words and hearty smile, Wang Xuance saluted Li Tai solemnly again.

Even after many years, when Wang Xuance recalled today's events, he always felt that Li Tai's body exuded a soft golden light, so bright that he dared not look directly at it.
