Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 76

After all, the fishing plan was originally made by Li Tai, and Li Jing was in charge of implementing it.

Now that Li Tai wants to join Youzhou Agricultural University in this matter, then he should say hello to Li Jing more or less about this matter.

Although Li Shimin was a little lazy because he defeated the Eastern Turks, he was still the king who respected his courtiers.

Li Tai didn't expect Li Shimin to really think about this matter seriously.

After all, in this matter, I just have to fight three poles if I have dates or not.

If the navy is really used to train these students, if there are outstanding performers among them, those who train regularly will definitely absorb them into the navy, and then use the navy as a springboard to enter the army.

Even though the current navy has almost nothing, it is an army after all.

Although Li Shimin supports Li Tai's fishing plan, his positioning of the navy has never been the main force.

Li Shimin only wants the navy to be a stable supply for him when he conquers Korea in the future.

As long as the supplies are sufficient, Li Shimin has enough confidence to push Goguryeo horizontally, so he doesn't care much about the navy's occasional education in agricultural colleges.

After all, even if the students from the agricultural college take the opportunity to join the navy, it's just a transport team.

Li Tai didn't expect that Li Shimin actually agreed to this dangerous matter in his own opinion, so he couldn't help but continued:
"Third, I hope that Aye can give the status of foreign officials to those students who are willing to integrate into China with the educated barbarians.

They have the status of the imperial court, which can not only guarantee their safety in the Hu people's area, but also make things justifiable. "

"Foreign officials..." Li Shimin thought seriously when he heard Li Tai's words, and after thinking for a while, he said:

"If you can really educate the barbarians, it is worthwhile to confer a formal official position, but how to judge the enlightenment!"

"Speak Chinese, know Chinese characters, understand Han etiquette, and pay Han taxes!" Li Tai said to Li Shimin, "This is how to integrate!"

"Then he is a farm official of the seventh rank who is out of the country, and his status is equivalent to that of the pavilion chief. He is responsible for teaching the Hu people about farming and education." Li Shimin said,
"First conduct an experiment in the Youzhou area for three to five years. Each batch of exiled officials needs to be reviewed by the Ministry of Officials to determine the number and location!"

When Li Tai heard Li Shimin's agreement, he clenched his fists instinctively, and a big stone fell from his heart.

Li Tai really didn't expect that the most critical step in his opinion could be achieved so easily.

He couldn't help saying: "With these three policies, I will definitely build Youzhou into a model city for my Tang to integrate with other ethnic groups, and I will never disappoint Aye's expectations."

"Don't be too tired, the construction of Datang is not something that can be done overnight.

I always feel that Li Tai's plans are one after another, but it feels a bit chasing after the stars. "

Li Shimin waved his hand with a bit of regret, but said,
"But I can see that you, Qingque, like me, want to build a strong Tang Dynasty!"

"Stay true to your wish!" Li Tai bowed to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded and waved to Li Tai: "If you have nothing else to do, just leave, I still want to soak for a while!"

"Then Qingque will leave first!" Li Tai immediately left respectfully after hearing Li Shimin's words.

Walking out of the palace gate, Li Tai took a deep breath, and suddenly felt a sense of openness.

From the establishment of my agricultural school to the present, it has finally taken the most critical step, that is, the students have the opportunity to become foreign officials of the Tang Dynasty.

Liuwai officials are a special class among officials. They enjoy the salary of the imperial court, but they do not have the grade that officials should have.

Liuwai officials could still be easily promoted to the bureaucratic ranks in the Qin and Han Dynasties, but since the appearance of the imperial examination, the status of Liuwai officials has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

Even if they have an official status, they are often looked down upon, and later even lost the promotion channel from the outsider to the insider.

After the civil officials came to power in the Northern Song Dynasty, the exiled officials left the profession of officials and were often confused with subordinate officials.

Of course, from the current point of view, the seventh-rank foreign officials are almost official first-level staff members, and the ninth-rank officials are now deputy section chiefs.

It is still possible for ordinary people to become a full-time student after working on the street for a lifetime.

Also in the Tang Dynasty, although the status of Liuwai officials was not high, they were the cornerstone of low-level officials in the entire imperial court.

Many county magistrates from the ninth rank or nine ranks, especially those in remote areas, all came from foreign officials.

Of course, they have only reached this level, and it is not an easy task to cross this gate card.

At least if there are no adventures, the middle and lower county magistrates of the eighth and ninth ranks are their lifelong goals.

It's as if those who take normal exams in modern times are basically the goal of struggling in this life.

This kind of treatment is ridiculous to many family officials who are exiled officials. They don't look down on this eighth or ninth rank county magistrate at all.

But it was enough for Li Tai, and it was enough even for many people who were facing the loess and their backs to the sky.

Don't forget that Li Tai's target is a good family. Under normal circumstances, they can only become officials if they go to the battlefield.

Compared with going to the battlefield, risking your life to fight for a so-called future, at least graduating from an agricultural school is naturally much more secure.

Even if they are not selected, it is not a loss to the common people just to learn knowledge and technology from the agricultural college!
But if they can be successfully selected as foreign officials, then they will make a lot of money!
Because they have achieved the transformation from ordinary people to officials, and a person has completed a class leap that may not be possible for generations of ancestors.

For the common people at the bottom, foreign officials are still officials even if they are looked down upon by high-ranking officials.

It's like don't mistake a village chief for a cadre, and don't mistake an exiled official for a court official.

But for Li Tai, his initial focus was not on the center.

Because every official in the center is a human being, if you win over anyone, it is impossible for no one to know.

Even when you have just started, there are a group of people who have already made a good circle in your heart, and even have already laid the trap and are waiting for you to get into it!

Therefore, there are many people in the central court who are double-faced and three-faced, who eat inside and outside, and who know each other with their hearts separated.

It's not as good as this kind of agricultural science student who has been trained from graduation to foreign officials, and even trained all the way to the prime minister.

I have always been the principal of the school, and both parties have natural political stances. When they become foreign officials, they will find that it is almost impossible to get promoted through the normal way.

The only way they want to advance is to embrace themselves and become emperors themselves.

They will become their own natural help, and at the same time give themselves the most solid political power at the grassroots level.

Their existence is not only arranged to fight for power and profit for themselves, but also for themselves to grasp the important weight of the foundation!
After all, if you want to master the grassroots, there will definitely be many grassroots officials from wealthy families who will not cooperate, but it is unrealistic to kill them all. After all, if they are wiped out, then who will do the work.

At this time, this share of inherited political power becomes very important. Even though they were still foreign officials at that time, but after they removed the county magistrate and county magistrate, they were transferred to eighth and ninth rank county magistrates based on their seniority. The county magistrate is completely fine.

It can be said that this grassroots force that has been carefully cultivated 20 years later is more important than the medical system.

Their existence allows them to even depose a whole line of officials without worrying about those who do not have backup jobs.

It is the basis for completing the update of the bureaucratic system without affecting the current situation.

It's just that this kind of layout is really time-consuming. Without ten or twenty years, they can't reach the position they expect they can reach, and they can't complete their vision of being fully controlled by the state from the center to the grassroots. !
Of course, if his plan fails, then the foreign official system will definitely be bloodbathed by the victors.

But think about it, the exiled officials in history ended up working with the subordinate staff, and at least there is hope of turning over if they fight themselves.

So I really didn't cheat them.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Tai naturally asked Lu Anshou to drive an ox cart to the agricultural school. Now that the jigsaw puzzle of the agricultural school is becoming more and more complete, Li Tai can also feel that his layout is slowly unfolding.

The students in the agricultural college also have a clear positioning in the future. For example, the student with the worst grades will only master basic literacy and farming, so let him go home and guard the one-acre three-point field, relying on the school to study. With the knowledge he has acquired, at least he can marry a wife and have children.

Secondly, the students with the best studies will naturally be awarded foreign officials directly when they come out. Although they are now going to the Hu people's area, they are also granted official status by the court. For many common people, this is at least one step up to the sky.

"Next, the most important thing is to wait for this year's harvest..." Li Tai narrowed his eyes, thinking inwardly,

"As long as this year's bumper harvest proves that my planting techniques are effective, then the layout of my agricultural school will be considered complete!"

And when Li Tai came to the agricultural school, he heard Lu Cai playing the piano, and there was a sense of peace in the soft voice of spring returning to the earth.

Obviously, Lu Cai, who still did not pass the Jinshi examination this time, can already look down on the imperial examination at this moment.

Li Tai was not polite, and told Lu Cai about his idea of ​​opening a Youzhou branch school, and explained the reasons clearly.

"Youzhou branch school..." Lu Cai didn't expect that Li Tai went outside for a while, but he didn't force himself to collect teachers who went to Turkic to study, but proposed to open a branch school in Youzhou, and then set up animal husbandry step by step course.

"But who will be in charge of the Youzhou Branch School!" Lu Cai looked at Li Tai and asked.

"The only one who is still in Youzhou is Chunfeng!" Li Tai said helplessly, "After all, he is familiar with the school curriculum, understands the school's mathematical thinking concept, and now he has been working in Youzhou, so he has a certain foundation. .

So it is best for him to open a branch school in Youzhou, of course, if you are willing to go to Youzhou to establish a branch school..."

"I think Chunfeng is the most suitable candidate!" Lu Cai said with a serious face,

"I will arrange the teachers who have been working closely with him, and even the mathematics students will do their ideological work one by one, and will never hold him back!"

"There's no need to go to this point!" Li Tai couldn't help muttering in his heart when he heard Lu Cai's words.

However, Li Tai straightened his face, and continued to talk to Lu Cai,

"This is a trivial matter. Compared with this, what kind of system should our main school and branch school formulate, and how to carry out message transmission.

There is also the most important material that needs to be transported from Chang'an to Youzhou, and how to transport it, all of which need to be resolved one by one. "

"I still need to transport supplies?!" Lu Cai couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this.

"First of all, there are teaching materials and important books in the library. These must be transported!" Li Tai stretched out his finger and said, "Fortunately, there are engraving blocks. It should be fine to print them and send them to Youzhou."

"Why don't the textbooks just send engraving blocks?" Lu Caidao, "It's easier to make engraving blocks here than in Youzhou!"

"Then give the engraving block!" Li Tai said decisively.

Well, it's Li Tai's character to be pragmatic. If you know you're wrong, you won't be ashamed to admit it directly.

"Then brocade, to build a school, the first thing you need is money!" Li Tai said,

"Although I begged for a job from Aye, our school bought a stake in the official fishing boat and was responsible for the design and maintenance of auxiliary tools, so as to get two profits.

But before this matter really forms a stable chain of interests, it should take us to support it for a while.

I can only transport cloth... Hey, it's really troublesome without banknotes! "

Li Tai couldn't help complaining.

"What did King Yue say? Paper money?" Lu Cai couldn't help being puzzled when he heard Li Tai's words.

"It's nothing!" Li Tai shook his head and said, "In short, make preparations for some teachers to move to Youzhou, and let some students go there to help Chunfeng."

Lu Cai couldn't help but sighed:
"As long as the teachers are paid enough, it's okay, and some teachers even come from the north.

But most of the students are locals, and there are probably very few students who are willing to go north.

At most, we can see if there are any students who were born as orphans who are willing to go north. "

Li Tai nodded, indicating that he understood, and said:

"The first batch is still mainly teachers, and it should be mainly students from Youzhou, or even the entire Hebei Province.

As for those students, I let them go, and I also hope that they can become teachers as soon as possible! "

"In this way, the matter has been handled in a hurry. After all, we have people and money, and Chunfeng built this school from scratch with us. I think it should be able to handle all this well, and give the school in Youzhou to us. Build it." Lu Cai breathed a sigh of relief!

"I can send the first batch of manpower, textbooks, and brocade!" Li Tai took a deep breath and said seriously, "Now there is only one last question left!"

"Huh?" Hearing Li Tai's words, Lu Cai couldn't help asking in confusion, "What's the problem!"

"Why tell Chunfeng about this!" Li Tai cast his eyes on Lu Cai, "Let him stay in Youzhou!"

"Chunfeng should be easy to talk..." Lu Cai hesitated, and said firmly, "Based on my friendship with him for many years drinking flowers and wine, I will write another book. As long as I explain the truth clearly, he will definitely be willing to stay in Youzhou. After all, Chunfeng is an honest man!"

Li Tai patted Lu Cai on the shoulder, with an expression of handing over the burden to you, and said:
"I'll write one too, just say you recommended him... Chuzhi, you can understand me!"

Lu Cai's eyes were full of tears. Li Tai was given such a difficult task. Is it possible for him to refuse?

Be realistic and face life head on.

Lu Cai nodded heavily and said, "Your Majesty, Chunfeng will definitely understand my good intentions!"

Compared to going to Youzhou by yourself, let Chunfeng stay in Youzhou.

This is the brother who drank flower wine with me, so I naturally have to arrange his future!
