Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 24 Meetings in the Academy
Finally, when Li Tai wondered whether he should send someone to look for Du Chuke on Songshan Road, Du Chuke came to the Agricultural Institute, which finally made Li Tai heave a sigh of relief, at least he was not lost.

But what Du Chuke didn't expect was that he had just settled down the next day when he came to report, and Li Tai pulled him over for a meeting.

When Du Chuke came to the room, Yan Qinli took Li Tailai's place to receive a group of section chiefs and took their seats one after another.

And each person's seat has the name tag of the chief of the six departments, as well as their respective names. Li Tai's identity is the head of the mountain, and Ma Zhou's identity is the chief of the agricultural department. In addition to being responsible for the daily management and coordination of the six departments, Also part-time agricultural affairs.

Du Chuke also sat down on his seat, and each seat had its own food.

Li Tai took the lead and said: "It is my good fortune to have all the sages teaching in the agricultural school I founded, and it is even more fortunate for Datang. On behalf of the agricultural school, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you for coming."

After Li Tai finished politely, Li Chunfeng and Lu Cai showed some embarrassment, Yan Qinli, Du Chuke and Liu Shenwei looked at Li Tai calmly, but Ma Zhou observed everyone's reactions with a half-smile.

Everyone complimented each other politely and got to know each other, and soon Li Tai came up with his own plan, saying:

"The goal of my establishment of an agricultural college is to make sure that there will be no more starving people in the world, and no more freezing to death in the world.

This is the original intention of my establishment of the school, so the purpose of the agricultural students cultivated is not to become officials who are superior to others, but to be farming masters who are willing to work hard.

In today's meeting, I hope that I can convey my thoughts to you. If you have any questions, I will try my best to answer them.

I hope you can understand my ambition, and I hope you can help me! "

Li Tai was extremely honest with everyone at this moment.

Li Tai didn't want to hide his purpose. Today's meeting is to unify everyone's thoughts and convey his will.

I don't care what their real purpose is, but as long as they are in this agricultural college, they must execute according to their will.

Li Tai didn't need to hide it, because what he wanted to do was not some cunning scheme, but to form a political force of his own.

Even if this power needs to be maintained by interests in the end, it must be condensed under Li Tai's ideals at the beginning.

Li Tai believes that with his own ability, there will be absolutely no shortage of people driven by interests in the future, but if he wants to build his own political power, he must have a political ambition to unite everyone.

This can be a shouted slogan, but it must not be a loose sand that is purely condensed by interests from the beginning.

Because a group that gathers because of interests will surely disintegrate because of greater interests.

But when the group formed by dreams, when faced with huge interests, they will at least protest and shout "Add money!"

For Li Tai, this is enough.

Li Tai doesn't need them to be loyal and unyielding for himself, and Li Tai never expects people in this era to really understand him.

Li Tai just needs it. When they are faced with two equal interests, they will choose themselves because of their dreams.

And this is the first program of my political group, that is, I represent the interests of the vast majority of farmers.

Of course, Li Tai won't say this sentence out of desperation, but his actions must be based on this purpose.

"If you only need to specialize in farming, why do you need to set up literature, mathematics, medicine, ink and music?"

At this time, Yan Qinli spoke with a slightly upright voice.

This stunned the others present, they didn't expect Yan Qinli to be the first to ask this question.

Because Yan Qinli is a member of the Yue Palace, and he is the first section chief appointed by Li Tai after accepting the agricultural school.

So everyone present thought that Yan Qinli belonged to Li Tai, but no one thought that Yan Qinli was not.

In fact, Li Tai understands that Yan Qinli has never belonged to anyone, he only does what he thinks is right.

As if he was rejected by Confucianism, Yan Qinli became his own teacher and still educated himself conscientiously, without any prejudice.

So facing Yan Qinli's question, Li Tai also said fearlessly: "Because there are few literati in this world who speak out for farmers!

Confucian students, no matter how poor their families are, they still have land and houses. What they say or say is for the aristocratic family, or for the powerful, or at worst for the landlords with hundreds of acres of fertile land.

But are there any scholars who really speak out for the tenants at the bottom who even need to rent land from the landlord? !
Is there any scholar who really speaks out for the good people to become refugees under natural disasters and man-made disasters? !
Is there any scholar who really speaks out to let Tian Shelang ascend to the Tianzitang? ! "

Everyone at the scene was stunned when they heard Li Tai's words, even Yan Qinli, who had been prepared to make a speech, was suddenly speechless.

They didn't expect that Li Tai, such a high-ranking royal nobleman, would suddenly ask such a down-to-earth yet such direct question.

Ma Zhou sighed, he didn't know why the king of Yue in front of him was so full of sympathy for the people at the bottom.

But just as Li Tai said, individual scholars may care about the people at the bottom, but as long as their own interests are involved, no one will take the people at the bottom seriously anymore.

From the Great Sui Dynasty to the Great Tang Dynasty, who cares about the people at the bottom!
"The bottom farmers feed us all.

They have the heaviest taxes and the heaviest corvee, but in the end they may not even have food for the winter.

Even if they are in trouble, they don't even have a channel to speak out.

In the end, this predicament turned into a desperate situation, and it was time for them to explode! "

After Li Tai said this, he took a deep breath,

"So, the personnel from our agricultural colleges must become the voices for farmers.

The people at the bottom have no way to support a scholar who is a peasant, so I will support him;

The people at the bottom have no way to let their voices pass to the court, so I will build this channel;
The people at the bottom have no way to guarantee the interests they deserve, so I will find a way to protect their interests! "

Li Tai looked at Yan Qinli and asked sincerely: "So the agricultural students we come out must be proficient in these six subjects.

They may even be required to learn more in the future, because only they can speak out for the farmers at the bottom. "

Hearing Yan Qinli's words at this moment, everyone present couldn't help being silent. They praised Li Tai's ideals, and they also shocked Li Tai's ideals.

They didn't expect that Li Tai's positioning of his agricultural school was so.

This gave them a feeling of being chosen, at least Ma Zhou and Li Chunfeng appreciated Li Tai's words, and Liu Shenwei couldn't help but clenched his fists.

And Lu Cai was both excited and hesitant. He was somewhat willing to stay in the agricultural school, but he had some expectations for his scientific examination results. He even thought about how to choose if he accidentally won the Jinshi.

When Yan Qinli heard Li Tai's words, he couldn't help but feel a little more confused.

He is an orthodox scholar of Confucianism, so the Confucianism that Li Tai said never spoke on behalf of the peasants, but on behalf of the aristocratic families and the powerful, and he felt it.

No matter how much Confucian students shouted for the people, in the end the people of Confucianism were never farmers, but the class of scholars.

On the contrary, Du Chuke stroked his beard at the moment, and it was even more interesting for him to look at King Yue in front of him.

Strictly speaking, Du Chuke is the only politician among the six people here, and his goal is to become a politician.

So Du Chuke found that if Li Tai could really build a scholar who could speak out for the peasants, then losing the support of Confucianism didn't seem to be that important.

Because Li Tai has his own political power, and it is a political group created by himself.

Du Chuke wanted to take another look, since Li Shimin's eldest son was only nine years old anyway, he had time to observe the court, and also had time to slowly observe Li Tai.

As for Li Tai's proposal to build such a force, the very important point is that since the Qin and Han Dynasties, to be precise, the Western Han Dynasty, there has been a situation where the imperial power did not go to the countryside.

If you want to master the feudal society in the future, or even want to transform the feudal society, then you must start to build a force that can take root in the grassroots.

Because only with the existence of this force, can one's own policies be truly communicated to the lower levels.

Not to mention that the policy that originally benefited the country and the people will not become an excuse to exploit the people when it is actually implemented at the grassroots level.

And this kind of power rooted in the grassroots is really very difficult to build. This not only requires a suitable entry point and enough money, but more importantly, it takes time to develop one's own power at the grassroots.

For them to be able to resist the culling of the landlord class in the face of the landlord class's counterattack, at least until they send a large army to counter the rebellion, instead of directly spreading across the country like wildfire.

Of course, it is impossible for Li Tai to say this, it is not because he is sincere, but because he is really stupid.

After all, even if Li Shimin is afraid, he may not rest assured that Li Tai has become the spokesperson of such a force!

"I'm very grateful to talk to you all today. At least from today, our Gaoling Agricultural Academy has been officially established!" Li Tai looked at the crowd with a big smile and said, "Of course, the specific tasks of each subject in the future, I'll set it up too."

"First of all, preschool class!" Li Tai's eyes fell on Yan Qinli and Li Chunfeng, and Li Tai said:

"The college is divided into pre-school classes and formal classes, and may need to join scientific research classes for further study in the future.

There are two tasks in the preschool class. One is basic literacy. All students need to learn "Thousand Characters" and basic arithmetic, know how to remember things, and know how to use the abacus.

Finally, only those who pass the exam can enter the formal class!
Formal classes are divided into six subjects, agriculture, literature, mathematics, ink, medicine and music.

Among them, agriculture is the main subject. After formally entering the agricultural department, one mu of land needs to be reclaimed in the first year, and then it is its exclusive field. The graduation standard is to pass three grains in farming. If you fail to pass after five years, you will not be able to graduate.

The remaining five subjects are subsidiary subjects, one of which is elective each year.

Liberal arts, mainly to accumulate crop experience for writing agricultural records, and editing agricultural works.

Mathematics, as the basis of the tool, is responsible for the measurement, and constantly finds the optimal solution for agricultural planting through data calculation.

Moke is mainly responsible for the research and development and popularization of agricultural tools, especially the collection of agricultural tools that may be invented by the common people but have not yet been spread. Experiments are carried out in our agricultural college, and then promoted to the whole country.

Leke, just wants to try to control the enthusiasm of farming by composing more songs for farmers. We don’t need the snow in the spring, we only need the people in Xialiba, and try to see if the music can increase the grain production. All things have spirits, and I believe the same is true for grains!

The last medical science..."

Li Tai couldn't help but stop slowly when he said this, and everyone was quiet.

Because what Li Tai said earlier is at least related to agriculture. Even if it sounds incredible that music can increase food production, people in this era believe that all things have animism, and music is the best way to communicate with living beings. Best way!
But there is only medicine, which seems to be incompatible with agriculture no matter how you look at it.

So the medical department suddenly appeared in the agricultural college, and everyone felt that this thing looked so weird no matter how it was placed here.

Liu Shenwei also looked at Li Tai with a bit of anxiety. To be honest, after listening to Li Tai's words, he really wanted to do something big.

Because Liu Shenwei really came from the bottom class, not even the landlord class. He was originally a refugee during the turmoil of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Fortunately, he was adopted by Sun Simiao and became Sun Simiao's disciple. However, he himself still remembers the despair of starving to death.

But now I want to do a big job, but find that I can't do anything in agriculture, I only know medicine.

"For the medical department, I want to build a team of rural basic medical personnel who are both farmers and doctors.

Even they will become officially designated traveling doctors to treat the poor people in the world.

They take root in the countryside, rooted in farmers, and solve most of the most common diseases for the most grassroots and hardest farmers.

More importantly, they can obtain local materials to minimize the difficulties of farmers.

Maybe they can't solve the serious illness, but at least they can solve the minor illness of headache and brain fever, so that the common people don't need to trust Fushui to save people. "

Li Tai slowly talked about his plan to Liu Shenwei, drawing the blueprint in his heart, and continued:

"At the same time, I want to try to carry out large-scale farming of some common medicinal materials, and use the medicinal materials as food for large-scale planting.

However, medicinal materials are naturally raised and gather the aura of heaven and earth, so the artificially cultivated ones are definitely worse than those raised in the wild.

Therefore, it is even more necessary for medical personnel to determine the properties of the medicine before it can be used by patients. "

Hearing this, Liu Shenwei was a bit stunned, and understood what Li Tai meant, and said to Li Tai confidently,

"Please rest assured, King Yue, my master once took me to travel around to treat the wounded, I know how to train."

Hearing Liu Shenwei's words, Li Tai thought for a while and said,
"I don't know much about medical matters, so I asked Miracle Doctor Liu to discuss with the old man, whether he can help me sort out the medical system, and quickly cultivate a batch of quick seedlings.

After these students have completed their studies quickly, they can go directly to the grassroots to become medical doctors, allowing them to slowly accumulate experience at the grassroots level.

When they want to come back to study medicine again, there is a suitable system to accommodate them so that they can become famous doctors. "

"Please don't worry King Yue, I'll go back and ask Master!" Liu Shenwei respectfully said to Li Tai.
