The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Lu Deming was in high spirits. He filled himself with wine and drank it all.

"It's so refreshing. Listening to your Highness's speech is like drinking fine wine, and the fine wine in the glass is the icing on the cake. Good, good." Lu Deming said happily: "Your Highness, I am so happy today."

Li Fu, who was sitting opposite, saw Lu Deming like this. He thought that Lu Deming was drinking strong liquor and was a little drunk.

Li Fu naturally didn't understand where Lu Deming's excitement was.

After all, it's better not to interfere with the affairs of literati.

"Your Highness, there is something I want to ask your Highness for help." Lu Deming said.

"Please tell me." Li Fu said.

"In fact, your school in the manor can help one person." Lu Deming said.

"Who?"

"Xiao Yu." Lu Deming said, "I am a good friend of Xiao Xianggong, but now, he has been dismissed..."

Oh, Xiao Yu, Li Fu knows this.

If it happened to someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to bear this blow, but Xiao Yu, he will get used to it slowly in the future.

This is just the beginning?

This is only the first year of Zhenguan, and the next year will be the second year of Zhenguan.

Xiao Yu's career is long, he has been a prime minister, and he has been dismissed, there are many such things.

Li Fu knows the inside story, knows some things, but Lu Deming doesn't know, so after learning that his friend was dismissed, he also feels sorry for him.

"In fact, I think Mr. Lu doesn't need to worry too much about Mr. Xiao. Mr. Xiao is a great talent. His Majesty cherishes talented people. He dismissed Mr. Xiao from his post now. I'm afraid it was just a temporary act of anger. He may be invited back in the future." Li Fu said: "But why was Mr. Xiao dismissed this time?"

"The court sent Tang Jian to the Turks. Xiao Yu asked Tang Jian to take a letter home to Empress Xiao in the Turks." Lu Deming said: "Empress Xiao and Prime Minister Xiao were born of the same mother. They were both from the royal family of the Later Liang Dynasty. Later, Empress Xiao fled to the Turks, and the two separated and never met again. It is natural for people to miss their relatives.

As a result, someone in the court took this opportunity to report that Prime Minister Xiao had secretly communicated with the late Empress of Sui."

"Then you said that my school on the manor could help Prime Minister Xiao, but how could it help? The school on the manor is small." Li Fu said.

Lu Deming even said that he wanted to live in the manor. He did not dare to let Lu Deming teach in the school on the manor, for fear that people would say that he was wasting his talent. The scale of the school now could not afford such a great teacher.

Not to mention Prime Minister Xiao Yu, who was born in the royal family and was a prime minister.

"Now that Mr. Xiao is idle at home, I want to find something for him to do." Lu Deming laughed: "That's perfect. He's idle anyway, so let him stay at your farm for a while. Don't let him live in Chang'an City. He has a stubborn temper and I don't know how many people he has offended. Let him leave Chang'an first and don't let people keep an eye on him. In addition, leave Chang'an and go to Jingyang County to teach. I think if His Majesty knows about it, he will have some sympathy."

"After all, if this matter is really said, it's not serious, but those in the court who are not on good terms with Mr. Xiao are really hard to deal with."

Lu Deming explained to Li Fu.

"Then we have to discuss this matter after the New Year." Li Fu said, "We can't just skip the New Year's Day and ask them to go to the farm quickly, right?"

"That's right." Lu Deming said, "Although I have students who have not yet entered the government, most of them are not in Chang'an now. I still need to write a letter to ask them to come to Chang'an, but it will take until after the New Year. During this period, the school in the farm will be the same as it is."

Li Fu nodded seriously.

If this is the case, then Lu Deming's students will take one or two months, or even two or three months on the way to Chang'an.

In this window period, if it really doesn't work, it's really good to catch Mr. Xiao Yu to be a strong man.

At least it will make the school famous.

But Mr. Xiao Yu.......

Even if Xiao Yu becomes an official again in the future, the school will have a reputation. Wouldn't it be easy to recruit teachers in the future?

What happened to the school? So what if the students are all from farm families?

Mr. Xiao Yu has come to teach, and Dr. Lu Deming has come to give lectures. No matter how noble you are, can you be more valuable than these two people in the academic circle?

Don't think too highly of yourself. There are more academic leaders in Chang'an than you can imagine.

"By next year, the school on Zhuangzi will be completely new. When I was building my new house last year, I needed people and materials anyway, so I started the work on both sides and hired hundreds of craftsmen."The school was built together with the village." Li Fu smiled and said, "The school used to be an old house in the village. Now it is good. When the new school is built, the environment will be different. Even if I teach there, there will be better conditions."

"If you want to live in the manor for a long time in the future, I will show you the school I planned for the manor. "Li Fu said with a smile.

Drawing cakes, start drawing cakes now.

If you want to retain talents, you have to draw big cakes, give them beautiful hopes and a beautiful future.

Then let them strive for their own ideals, plus the beautiful cakes that Li Fu painted for them.

How can Zhuangzi Shang not bring in some real things if it wants to attract talents and retain talents?

After the New Year and the beginning of spring, Yan Lide will go to Zhuangzi Shang.

The project is not finished yet.

And it's not just Yan Lide, there is also Jiang Que.

After such a long time of getting along, we are all acquaintances. Since we are acquaintances, it's not too much to go to Zhuangzi Shang to do some work?

And it's not that you work for nothing, there are food, drink and extra bonuses, isn't it better than being a craftsman supervisor all day?

Li Fu has been thinking about how to spend copper coins to attract talents.

"However, I really want to invite Mr. Xiao to teach, even if it's just to stay there for a while. "Li Fu said with a smile: "However, how about waiting until the New Year, can you help me match it up? "

Lu Deming smiled and said, "Okay, that's no problem. When the time comes, I'll take the remaining jar of good wine and visit him in person."

"How can you provide anything for this matter? When the time comes, I'll pick up a cart of delicious food and drinks and send it to you. You can take it with you." Li Fu said, "I'm also expressing my feelings. Whether it succeeds or not, our hearts are here."

"But there is also this matter. I have to inform His Majesty about it and find out what His Majesty's attitude is. Otherwise, if His Majesty misunderstands and annoys His Majesty, it will be a big loss for a small gain."
