Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 97 The normal development of Youzhou Branch

When Li Tai was working hard to develop in Chang'an, the Youzhou Agricultural College, which Li Chunfeng was in charge of, also began to build in a hurry after receiving the materials and books sent by Li Tai.

To tell the truth, compared to Li Tai, because of his arrogance, he ate up the victims in succession and gained the foundation for development.

Li Chunfeng's Youzhou branch school is relatively more like a purely professional school than a college city.

In addition, in terms of student recruitment, the students trained by Youzhou Branch School are also divided into the three main subjects of agriculture, literature, and mathematics, and the two sub-subjects of ink and animal husbandry. cannot be thrown away.

At this moment, Li Chunfeng looked at the letter that Li Tai sent to him thoughtfully,
"Cultivate pasture, study silage? Yue Wang, you said it is simple, but you should be able to get some from the purchase of foreign races!"

Yes, it is impossible for Li Tai to really wait for Tang Jian to get the seeds from the foreign race.

After all, to put it bluntly, it's just grass, and it's not something that needs to be kept secret, and ordinary people of different races may not have it in their hands.

And one thing is very important, that is the environment in which pasture is planted.

To be honest, even if we researched and planted pasture grass in Chang'an, in the end, we still had to go to Yinshan Mountain to try to plant it.

So just let the comprehensive experiment be carried out at Youzhou Academy.

This will save you from making things by yourself, and you need to run a few more times to strengthen the adaptability such as cold resistance.

As for silage, in fact, such things as silage had already appeared in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but because the grassland itself followed the lifestyle of living by water, the silage technology was not developed, and even the grassland people in some places did not go to the silage. point.

But after the Five Husbands, the grassland people lived a settled life in the Central Plains, and this technology was pointed out.

In other words, in fact, this technology is considered as a supporting technology for pasture. Basically, when the kind of pasture that can be mowed for several seasons can be researched, in order to store pasture in pasture, the common people will naturally click on this technology in order to survive.

Therefore, Li Tai didn't take this too seriously, Li Tai believed that Li Chunfeng would definitely be able to point out this skill.

Don't underestimate the wisdom of the people, no matter if it is a foreign race or a Chinese, as long as the people need it, even if there is no theoretical basis for the corresponding technology, they will come up with many strange abilities based on their life experience.

"It seems that we need to increase investment in animal husbandry!" Li Chunfeng was thoughtful.

I just want to think about it, and I also muttered about one thing, should I ask the King of Yue to continue asking for money, or should I find a way to solve this expense by myself!

Ever since Li Tai received the last sum of money, he has been spending money like running water in order to establish the Youzhou Academy.

This made Li Chunfeng feel helpless, but he could only watch the silk in his hand slowly decrease, which was really heartbreaking.

When I was working under Li Tai, I never worried about money, and I went in and out of the casino every day, which was quite fun.

But since leaving Li Tai, Li Chunfeng looked at the silk that Li Tai gave him, and it was a bit less.

The pressure brought by the school really made me breathless!

"Will the King of Yue allocate funds to come over again... Or do you want to apply to the King of Yue with a lick of your face?

But the king of Yue directly earns money to support himself when he establishes a school... Would it make him seem too useless if he opened his mouth? "

Li Chunfeng felt very melancholy looking at the silk and satin that was being consumed little by little with the opening of the agricultural school.

"Shan Zhang! General Li asked for an audience, and has arrived at the school's reception hall!" Someone came to report.

"Okay, serve General Li good tea first, and I'll be there right away!" Li Chunfeng said decisively.

Li Chunfeng put away the letter and the school's account books, and immediately went out. When he saw Li Dejian, he said doubtfully:

"Why do you have time to come to me today? You came back today to ask me to train Liujinghua?"

"I'm here to bring you dried fish!" Li Dejian looked at Li Chunfeng, and finally gave Li Chunfeng a list.

Li Chunfeng got this list by accident, which listed in detail the dried fish of all kinds of edible marine fish, the kind that didn't even add salt.

But Li Chunfeng was quite excited when he saw it. No matter how you say it, these are food.

But in Datang, a social system where barter is the mainstream transaction, so many dried fish made Li Chunfeng's eyes straight.

"This is for our school!" Li Chunfeng estimated in his mind how many warehouses should be built in the school to store all these dried fish, and it is best to sell some in exchange for living and teaching materials.

"This is the first batch of dried fish this year, and there will be more dried fish delivered every month until the end of the fishing season.

After all, the King of Yue was right. He used the sailor's fishing boats to catch fish, and indeed he could catch a lot of fish! "

Li Dejian also sighed a little bit. When he saw fishing for the first time, he didn't expect there to be so many!
"How long does the fishing season last?" Li Chunfeng asked Li Dejian with some curiosity.

"From April to October!" Li Dejian thought for a while and replied to Li Chunfeng.

"It's not that there are no fish at other times, but it's uneconomical to use retired sailors to fish.

Might as well use the rest of the time to drill them, lest they forget that they are not fishermen, they are retired sailors.

Even if there is a war with Goguryeo, these retired guys may need them for logistics. "

Li Chunfeng nodded in agreement when he heard Li Dejian's words, and didn't feel there was any problem with it.

After all, Datang originally implemented the government military system, so it also has the same attitude towards the navy.

If it weren't for ordinary people who really couldn't build ships, Datang would even wish that each of these soldiers would bring a ship to accompany the army.

But there is no way, the sailors can prepare personal weapons, but large ships such as ships can only be provided by the court.

And there is no large ship manufacturing dock in Youzhou, everything needs to be started from scratch.

It will take time to get used to it, at least in Li Chunfeng's view, even with the support of the imperial court, and the docks and staff gradually migrating from the south of the Yangtze River, it still takes three months to truly build a naval fleet that can roam the sea. years of accumulation.

On the one hand, there is a shortage of talents, and on the other hand, Datang in this period is really unable to produce sea-going ship technology.

After all, the technology in the south of the Yangtze River is mainly based on river boats. When these technologies are used on the ocean, there are often two problems.

One is that the draft is not enough, and the other is that it is easy to roll over when the wind blows, which requires a little bit of grinding technology.

Because Li Dejian brought Li Chunfeng with him when he went out to sea for the first time, it didn't matter if he sailed near the sea, but as he slowly entered the deep water area, a strong wind blew on the sails, and the entire building boat It just flipped over.

Fortunately, it is closer to the river bank, relying on swimming, basically everyone is back.

Only Li Chunfeng was dragged back by Li Dejian, because he didn't know how to swim, and he was seasick. After escaping from death, he said that he would never test the boat again.

Of course, the second time was not much better. Although the lesson was learned, with the technical support of Li Chunfeng, he developed an escape boat with a watertight cabin structure specially used for evacuation in disasters.

As long as it is unhooked from the big ship, people can float to the surface of the water as long as they get inside the escape boat, which is definitely enough for offshore use.

Then the modification to the sail was added, which added a balance sail to balance the air pressure on both sides.

Under Li Dejian's suspicious eyes, he tried this newly built ocean-going sailing ship again.

However, Li Dejian learned how to be smart, and ordered all the sailors to tie two empty gourds to their bodies. If they accidentally fell into the water, they could at least be able to float for a while by relying on these empty gourds.

Then the ship successfully withstood the strong wind, but encountered a 40-meter wave, and the whole ship was hit hard, and almost the entire deck was torn apart as if falling apart.

Li Chunfeng said that the simple dowel joint technology is not enough, and further technology to strengthen the body of the ship is needed.

In short, Li Dejian tested a lot of sailing skills after going back and forth. Anyway, Li Dejian didn't know the specific level of ship shipping technology, but Li Dejian knew that all his subordinates had mastered swimming skills.

As sailors, these people are definitely excellent pawns. Whether they can be cultivated into elites depends on their own wrists.

Li Chunfeng asked with some curiosity:

"Serving the people in peacetime and serving as soldiers in wartime, this is the military system of the Tang Dynasty.

Compared with this, I am more curious, are these fish all dried fish?Don't you want to try some fresh seafood? "

Hearing Li Chunfeng's words, Li Dejian shook his head and said:

"If you want to taste seafood, it's not impossible to send it from Jinkou, but most of them are not vigorous.

Why don't you go to Jinkou by yourself, and let you eat whatever you want to eat then! "

"It's not that I want to eat it, it's just that live fish is much more expensive in Youzhou City than in Jinkou!" Li Chunfeng said.

"Just be content!" Hearing Li Chunfeng's words, Li Dejian couldn't help but said with a wry smile, "How can such a large quantity be delivered fresh? It would be great if it could be made into dried fish and delivered to you, but don't push yourself too hard! "

"Don't make an inch, what's the difference with dried fish." Li Chunfeng said, raising the list in his hand, and said,
"Even if it's dried fish, it's still dried salted fish that can be eaten with millet!"

"You have a lot of things to do!" Li Dejian said, "If you don't want it, then give me this list!"

"That can't be done. This is the material that the King of Yue gave us to our agricultural school. Even if I lose it, they can't throw it away!"

Li Chunfeng said, "Thank you, brother Dejian, for sending these materials over. If there is nothing wrong, brother Dejian will invite you first!"

"Hey, at least don't let me eat!" Li Dejian hurriedly said when he heard Li Chunfeng speak.

"What's the relationship between you and me? Don't you know that I, Youzhou Academy, are so poor that we can't get rid of it. Next time, next time!"

Li Chunfeng said decisively, ever since he became the head of the Youzhou branch school, Li Chunfeng said that he wished that one salted fish could be eaten separately for two meals, but you still want to come for a meal, I am afraid that there is no door.

"It's really boring!" Li Dejian curled his lips, but his face became serious, and he said to Li Chunfeng,

"It's really a matter of coming to you this time. Some retired sailors who went fishing were robbed by pirates.

They not only wanted the fish from the fishing boat, but also ruthlessly dealt with them after harvesting the fish.

So I plan to take the army to wipe out the water thieves nearby, at least to make the common people feel more safe while fishing!
How about it, are you interested in being my military adviser and completely solving this thief. "

"You know, I'm not very good at command and dispatch..."

Well, facing Li Dejian's gaze, Li Chunfeng stopped talking.

Although Li Chunfeng can't command by himself, Li Jing's Liujinghua has finally mastered it.

However, Li Chunfeng still said: "Okay, are you sure your navy is ready for training? Have you got a new ship? The other party has found it?"

"No!" Li Dejian nodded and said,
"The naval army has been training for so long, and they have to kill people to see the blood before they know how to train next.

As for the ships, they have been turned over twice, so the new batch of ships should be more reliable. "

"Have you found them yet?!" Li Chunfeng asked again after hearing Li Dejian's words.

"I didn't intend to find them!" Li Deji said,

"I plan to sweep from the fleet from the north to the south, all the way to Dengzhou, and then sweep back the same way.

Along the way, as long as people from overseas islands all catch Jinkou to fill the people.

Recently, I've run out of manpower for drying fish, so I just asked them to come and register, and then catch them and dry the fish. "

"Wait for the reply from the Ministry of War. Although Li Shuai is the minister of the Ministry of War, I don't know whether he will agree with your plan!"

Hearing that this matter was still going through procedures, Li Chunfeng took a sip of tea calmly.

"Father must be clear that the navy is an army after all. How can it be possible to become elites by fishing? It must be fought!" Li Dejian said confidently to Li Chunfeng, "When the time comes, you will be my military advisor. Jinghua give me the bottom line."

"It seems that you suspect that you will meet the sailors of Goguryeo?" Li Chunfeng was thoughtful when he heard Li Dejian's words.

"You know?" Li Dejian looked at Li Chunfeng in surprise.

"Nonsense, otherwise, why would you pull me in? If it's really just a pirate, don't tell me you, a famous general, will be afraid of them in the future!" Li Chunfeng said as a matter of course when he arrived.

However, these words made Li Dejian a little embarrassed.

To be honest, Li Dejian's character is really not so brave, because Li Jing has always said that he is a tiger father and dog son, and Li Dejian and Li Dezhou cannot inherit their ability to lead troops to fight at all.

After being hit a lot, Li Dejian said that he is really not the kind of a famous general who goes to the battlefield to kill embryos!
On the contrary, Li Dejian said that he is a man who cannot bear the responsibility of a famous general, but is eager to bear the glory of a famous general.

On the battlefield, Li Dejian said that he can hide a few more cards, so let's hide a few more hands!

Therefore, Li Chunfeng, a person who knows astronomy above, geography below, and also knows Liujinghuazhen, naturally has to be recruited during naval battles.

"Okay, if the documents from the Ministry of War come down, let me take Mo Ke's disciples to go to sea with you!"

Li Chunfeng's face was ugly, but he still said solemnly to Li Deji.
