Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 22 The Stars Gather
With Li Tai's departure, a group of important officials are still dealing with government affairs. Although they are a little surprised by the performance of the King of Yue, compared to the major national affairs they are handling, this small matter of the King of Yue is really nothing .

On the other hand, Fang Xuanling looked at Du Ruhui, and couldn't help asking, "Does Shan Bin intend to return to Chang'an?"

"Quiet and want to move, but hypocritically don't want to enter the officialdom, since there is a shortage of people in the Agricultural Institute of the King of Yue, let him stay in the Agricultural Institute for a while, maybe it can guide the future of the King of Yue to the right path."

Du Ruhui said frankly, "Whether the King of Yue is young and mad, or has a mischievous heart, at least the King of Yue is right about one thing.

If there are problems in Confucianism itself, then only by using a hundred schools of thought as a reflection can we find the problem. "

"So you just stuffed people in the agricultural academy!" Hearing Du Ruhui's words, Fang Xuanling knocked on the table and said, "Although King Yue is not very smart, is that so?!"

"Master Li once told me about Li Tai's matter with me. If we prepare more now, maybe there will be less disputes in the future!" Du Ruhui said to Fang Xuanling calmly, "The king of Yue is the most threatening person to the prince after all!"

Hearing what Du Ruhui said, Fang Xuanling also sighed and said nothing more.

After all, both of them came from the Xuanwu Gate Change, so they didn't want to go through the Xuanwu Gate Change again.

It is the right thing to put more people around Li Tai to make Li Tai lose the capital of rebellion, and it can even be said to be easy.

But Fang Xuanling had to say that it was indeed a master hand for Li Tai to take the initiative to find someone from Li Shimin to be placed in his agricultural school.

Regardless of whether Li Tai wants to develop an agricultural school now, or whether the agricultural school will really gain in the future, at least Li Shimin can rest assured.

And Du Ruhui was seeing this point, so he arranged it without hesitation, and Li Shimin thought carefully because of Du Ruhui's arrangement.

It's not that Li Shimin is worried and puts in people, but because he really thinks that Du Ruhui can pay so much attention to it, so he pays more attention to it.

And since you paid attention, then invest more resources. If Li Tai can really find the reason for the downfall of the big man, then no matter how much resources you invest, it will be worth it.

All in all, because Li Tai took the initiative to invite this time, Li Tai's agronomy institution has not yet been established, and the composition of the chiefs of each department has become quite complicated. To a certain extent, Li Tai intends to maintain this complexity.

Because maintaining this kind of complexity allows the school to be regarded as a small society, and even helps the students to hone themselves.

As far as Li Tai is concerned, he is not afraid of the complicated ingredients in the agricultural school. Anyway, since it is in his pocket, it will be his food in the future!
Of course, from Fang Xuanling's point of view, I hope that Li Tai made this request because he instinctively wanted to ask Li Shimin for help, instead of really seeing through the powerful relationship in it, and actively asking Li Shimin for help.

After all, if it's the latter, it can only be said that the eight-year-old Yue Wang is already so demonic. Will the prince in ten or eight years really be able to fight Li Tai?
Fang Xuanling expressed incomparable doubts about this.

However, everyone quickly put this matter down.

Because Datang didn't have a good year this year, and the same Turks were also quite sad.

Now it's just the beginning of winter, snowstorms sweep across Mobei, many Turkic cattle and sheep die, Xue Yantuo's leader, Yi Nan, rebelled against East Turkic.

After receiving this news, Li Shimin decided to make good use of the Xue Yantuo tribe to divide the East Turks.

Taking [-] steps back, even if it is just to bury a nail in the grassland, is also a preparation for the future crusade against the Eastern Turks.

"Xieli's tyranny has now forced Xue Yantuo's tribe to rebel. If it can't be resolved as soon as possible, the scene of the Sui Dynasty may reappear!"

Holding the information, Fang Xuanling couldn't help thinking about it, feeling like he couldn't play chess, and he was really sorry for this opportunity.

"But we have suffered from locust plagues this year. Unless there is nothing wrong next year, it will not be easy to carry out an expedition of teachers!"

When Du Ruhui heard Fang Xuanling's words, he was keenly aware of something, and said decisively immediately.

"Target the frontier, wait for the opportunity!" Fang Xuanling thought for a while, pointed to the location of Xiazhou, and said,

"Whether Xieli can solve Xue Yantuo, the result will be seen within three years, let people store food here first.

If something happened to East Turkistan that required the deployment of troops, then Xiazhou would be able to get food supplies immediately. "

"It's feasible!" Du Ruhui nodded upon hearing Fang Xuanling's suggestion, "Even if there is no accident, this place is a must for His Majesty to go north to crusade against the Turks in the future. There is no problem to store food here, the problem is who to choose!"

Fang Xuanling thought about it and said: "Dou Jing... If this incident fails, it would be a good idea to arrange him to go to Xiazhou.

However, the King of Yue stopped her, and Dou Jing, who has always been conscientious, could not be allowed to go to the frontier to farm. This is too conspicuous! "

"For someone else, Zhao Yuankai didn't perform very well this time, and although he himself flattered a little, he is still an official. Let him go to Xiazhou to be the governor of the field." Du Ruhui said, "At least it can be regarded as a breakthrough. The official position of the fourth rank!"

"Just him, sharpen his bad habits, and Empress Dou Jing can take over as Si Nong Si!" Fang Xuanling also agreed.

Hmm, Dou Jing was supposed to be the one who went to Xiazhou to eat sand for two years, but because the locust plague was finally resolved by Sinong Temple, then Dou Jing naturally had no faults, so the person who ate sand would naturally be Zhao Yuankai of Sinong Shaoqing is gone.

After all, compared to Sinong Shaoqing, Xiazhou's governor was promoted after all. If he is lucky, he may have military exploits in the future.

Zhao Yuankai didn't know if he would faint with joy when he heard that he was promoted, but this was just a microcosm of personnel scheduling.

After the Weishui alliance, Li Shimin's idea of ​​finding Turkic shame has never stopped.

The siege net against the Turks was gradually released from the first year of Zhenguan. For example, Xiazhou was captured in this year's confrontation with the Turks.

However, these major national events are still a bit far away for Li Tai. Now Li Tai retreated from the East Palace triumphantly and stopped by to meet Empress Changsun. After all, he planned to return to his mansion before sunset.

And Ma Zhou had already been waiting in the Palace of the King of Yue. Seeing the calm and brisk expression on Li Tai's face when he came back, he cupped his fists and said to Li Tai, "Congratulations, King Yue, it seems that you have managed to keep the textile industry."

Although Ma Zhou was not clear about Li Tai's emphasis on the textile industry, Ma Zhou knew that this thing was an asset, and since it was there, it was best to eat it, which would help the steady growth of the Yue Palace's strength.

"You came just in time!" Li Tai waved his hand when he saw Ma Zhou, "I need your help with something."

"Huh?" Seeing Li Tai's appearance, Ma Zhou was somewhat puzzled, but he didn't know what happened to Li Tai.

"Except for the expenses of the agricultural college, I want to eat as much as possible into the coal mines in Chang'an!" Li Tai said solemnly.

"Coal mine?" Hearing Li Tai's words, Ma Zhou frowned and said,

"Coal mines are not uncommon in the land of Wei and Wei, but basically all mines can only make money if they do steel business.

King Yue, you are going to buy so many coal mines, but you are going to start the steel business,

If this is the case, I advise you to focus on agricultural colleges. "

Since the monopoly of salt and iron began, anyone who wanted to touch these two things in the feudal era was not rebelling, then he was basically on the way to rebelling. Ma Zhou didn't want Li Tai to do anything at this time ill-advised move.

"Where are you thinking!" Hearing Ma Zhou's words, Li Tai couldn't help laughing angrily. How could he rebel? You must know that Li Shimin is the one sitting on the dragon chair, and he must be overthinking it to make him against!

"Coal is combustible, and it is the foundation of everything!" Li Tai said, "The reason why people are human is that they can use tools.

Bronze in Shang and Zhou Dynasties, steel in Qin and Han Dynasties, the essence is that the combustion temperature of fuel is constantly creating new heights in human hands.

And I want to control coal because I have seen its power this winter, it is our foundation today! "

"Foundation?" Hearing Li Tai's words, Ma Zhou couldn't help feeling a little dazed, but couldn't help thinking deeply.

Li Tai nodded and said, "Since Suirenshi ignited the first fire, our history has been constantly seeking higher temperatures, controlling higher temperatures, and then using this higher temperature to affect the history of society.

And if I want to master the coal mine, I want to know, have we really maximized the resources of the coal mine?
If not, what will happen if the coal is burned to the extreme! "

"My lord, please forgive me for not being able to answer your question!" Hearing Li Tai's words, Ma Zhou was speechless.

Because even though he is broad in this era, he is still full of curiosity and confusion in the face of the unknown.

Li Tai said seriously:
"So, I want to use more coal to do experiments, analyze its properties, understand its principles, and even completely use it to transform the world!
And these two small coal mines are definitely not enough. What I need is the coal industry throughout Kansai.

At least if any common people want to boil water, I can send coal mines directly to this city, this small county, or even a village. "

Hearing Li Tai's words, Ma Zhou couldn't help thinking about it, but he knew very well that it would be very far away if he wanted to see the scene Li Tai said come true.

After all, it is not easy to have a boiled water shop that only charges one penny in every city.

Normally, only Chang'an can do this kind of thing, because this is the imperial capital.

But listening to the blueprint drawn by Li Tai, Ma Zhou couldn't help but sink, because the blueprint drawn by Li Tai was so beautiful that he was willing to follow Li Tai's side and give his dream to him. Little by little.

"Understood. Regarding the money I earn, I will try my best to buy a new coal mine." Ma Zhou nodded to Li Tai.

Li Tai nodded and said, "I hope the chiefs of the various departments that Aye found for me can come over soon.

Taking advantage of the winter, I want to formulate a simple three-year development plan for the school, so that the heads of various departments can thoroughly implement it! "

"Three-year development plan?" Hearing this, Ma Zhou couldn't help being curious, and said, "What is this?"

"I'll write the outline, you can fill in the content!" Li Tai thought for a while, and then said kindly to Ma Zhou.

"Okay!" Ma Zhou laughed when he heard Li Tai's words, but he wanted to see what Li Tai was going to do.

In fact, when Li Tai came with the spirit of the last day of winter and summer vacation, and the day before the exam, he came to make plans for his school.

In one day, the discarded papers in his hands might have piled up half a person's height. Bai He came in to sort out these papers, and at the same time brought fruits and snacks to Li Tai, and even occasionally added fragrance to his red sleeves to help grind ink.

And when Li Tai was writing quickly to make future plans for his agricultural school, a letter was sent to Du Chuke's room who was practicing in Songshan Mountain. Looking at the letter sent to him by his brother, Du Chuke murmured:

"The Agricultural Institute of the King of Yue wants me to be the section chief of Moke? Forget it, at least it is a place to observe Li Shimin up close.

Although he is the perfect monarch in my elder brother's mind, is he really the monarch in my heart? "

Du Chuke waved his hand, and said to the boy next to him, "My elder brother asked me to go to Chang'an, and he won't hold a wedding here from now on."

Sun Simiao, who was living in seclusion in Taibai Mountain to sort out his 70 years of medical income, also soon received a call from Li Shimin.

In fact, when Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he recruited Sun Simiao, but Sun Simiao refused because he didn't like being an official.

This time Li Shimin planned to take advantage of this opportunity to keep the genius doctor Sun Simiao in Chang'an. Even if something happened to his body in the future, having this genius doctor by his side would be considered a bit of protection.

"Medical..." Sun Simiao couldn't help thinking when he saw that Li Shimin only recruited him to a school to be the chief of the medical department.

Because if Sun Simiao gained something during his seclusion in Changbai Mountain, he was going to write a medical book summarizing his experience.

If I can rely on the imperial court to make it easier for me to search for information, at least I can write this medical book, and my life will not be in vain.

If Du Chuke and Sun Simiao entered the agricultural school with their own ideas, then Li Shimin found Li Chunfeng, and let this salary thief who thought he would stay in the Taishi Bureau for the rest of his life be kicked to Li Tai's agricultural school inside.

Of course, Li Chunfeng's identity is only from the original Taishi Bureau General Shilang, and he knows from the name that he is a temporary worker from the ninth rank.

Li Shimin thought about this for a long time, and finally, when Li Chunfeng was about to turn regular, he thought of this guy who hadn't turned regular yet.
Then he was sent directly to Li Tai's school. As for the original General Shilang, he was naturally gone.

Just as Du Ruhui said, it is impossible to really send imperial officials to manage this agricultural school, otherwise, what should the establishment of this school be?
As for Yan Qinli, Ma Zhou and others are directly under the Yue Palace. They went to the agricultural school to name it because Li Tai was the founder of this school, so it was only natural for them to go to the school.

As for the other section chiefs, it's better to be in white.

With the support of Li Shimin's support, Li Tai's school and its basic personnel structure, people with their own goals began to gather towards this agricultural school in Chang'an.
