The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

As Li Fu spoke, his eyes flashed with strange light.

What does the Sinong Temple do now? It is in charge of grain storage, granary management, and the supply of rice for officials in the capital area of ​​Chang'an City.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Sinong Temple was one of the nine temples, and it had only these functions.

So, Li Fu said that the current functions of the Sinong Temple are far from meeting the expectations of the people.

Since it is the Sinong Temple and is in charge of agricultural affairs, they should do more.

As officials of the Sinong Temple, they should be proficient in agricultural matters.

Just like before the locust plague, Li Shimin asked the officials of the Sinong Temple to rectify the number of poultry in the market of Chang'an City, and be responsible for starting to breed poultry, increase the number of poultry in a short period of time, and then sell them to the people at a low price.

This is what the officials of the Sinong Temple should do most.

Regarding farming, grain production, and everything else, the Sinong Temple should be in charge.

Including how to use the existing water resources more reasonably to irrigate the fields during the spring ploughing every year, so as to reduce the fights caused by grabbing water.

At least around Chang'an City, Sinong Temple should stand up and deal with such incidents with local officials, instead of leaving them alone, or putting them outside of their duties.

These duties should have been the management rights that Sinong Temple tried its best to obtain from the court.

Moreover, whenever the court wanted to promote new methods related to agriculture, Sinong Temple had to take the responsibility of promoting them, such as seedlings, farmland water conservancy, etc. From irrigation to protecting crops, it needed professionals to go deep into the grassroots and tell the farmers how to plant, which was the best way to effectively increase the yield per mu.

Nowadays, Sinong Temple has few things in hand, but it has a lot of power and oil, which is a lucrative job.

How many people who are in charge of grain storage are clean-handed and innocent?

Think about the warehouse soldiers who watched the silver in the warehouse in the Qing Dynasty... They were in their prime, and they couldn't even hold shit.

Therefore, once the academy cultivates excellent agricultural talents in the future, the system of Sinong Temple will have to be changed.

However, it is too early to say this now. The academy has not been built yet, and there are only one batch of students. Even this batch of students has not reached the time to divide into different subjects.

"I imagine that if this farm can provide various talents for the court in the future, I will be honored to participate in the construction of this academy now."

Lu Deming stroked his beard and smiled.

"It's not just about giving advice on building the academy. I'm counting on you to have a title in the academy in the future." Li Fu said, "Old Lu, you're so old now. The Imperial College doesn't need you to do anything practical. I think you, the doctor of the Imperial College, are just a title now."

"Why, do you still want to dig me to your farm and make me a teacher for you?" Lu Deming joked, "First you started with the current literature, now it's my turn? Huairen, Huairen, you really have a good idea."

"Why not?" Li Fu spread his hands, "Anyway, they are all teaching. You are a title in the Imperial College and in the academy here. It's the same. And after a few years, the academy in the farm may not be worse than the Imperial College."

Lu Deming smiled and shook his head.

"Huairen, it's a good thing that you have ideals and ambitions. You said that the school will surpass the Imperial College in the future, which is not a bad idea, but a few years, haha, Huairen is a little too arrogant."

The Imperial College has a profound foundation and gathers famous teachers from all over the world. How can it be said that it can be compared?

Give Zhuangzi's school ten years of development time. After ten years, it can be compared with the Imperial College.

But if it is said that it will surpass the Imperial College, it will take longer than ten years.

"If I don't have such ambitions, how dare I make such a big move?" Li Fu smiled confidently: "Old man Lu, let's wait and see."

"Okay, in this case, I will wait and see." Lu Deming responded.

After Li Fu and Li Chengqian left Lu Deming's house, they took Tiezhu back to the house. After returning, they went to the courtyard of the study together.

Liu Niang was still busy. After finishing the trivial things in the kitchen, she had to mend clothes for Tiezhu.

At this time, Liu Niang was sitting under the eaves, with a needle and thread basket beside her, carefully and carefully sewing clothes for Tiezhu.

"Mother." After Tiezhu entered the yard and saw his mother, he hurried to her side.

"Tiezhu." Liu Niang called, and then looked up at Li Fu.

"My dear, His Royal Highness, you are back." Liu Niang stood up and saluted.

"Liu Niang, you will lose money next." Li Fu smiled.

Liu Niang was confused when she heard this.

"Losing money? "Liu Niang was puzzled: "But what does my husband need? I will prepare it now. I have saved some money thanks to my husband's care over the years. If my husband needs it, I will go and get it."

Liu Niang said, and was about to walk towards her residence.

"Stop, stop, stop. No matter how poor your husband is, he will not ask you for money." Li Fu smiled.

"Liu Niang, congratulations." Li Chengqian smiled and bowed his hands to congratulate: "Uncle Wang said that you are going to spend money. He wants you to pay for the apprenticeship gift for Tiezhu. Just now, he went to Dr. Lu's house. After Dr. Lu tested Tiezhu, he agreed that Tiezhu would become his disciple. From now on, Tiezhu will be Dr. Lu's disciple."

Liu Niang listened to Li Chengqian's words, her eyes gradually widened, her mouth opened slightly, and after listening, she was surrounded by a huge joy.

Liu Niang clapped her hands on her thighs, and her excited voice trembled a little.

"Your Highness, is this true? "

Li Chengqian smiled and nodded.

"Oh! Oh, this, this is really, a happy event, a great happy event." Liu Niang slapped her thigh happily.

"At the beginning, I said that Tiezhu was a good student." Li Fu smiled and said, "When the time comes, I will ask Lao Zhou to find out everything. You can prepare a gift for Tiezhu to become a disciple, and the house will also prepare one. The more gifts, the less blame. Although Old Man Lu is familiar with us, the etiquette of becoming a disciple cannot be neglected. People should choose an auspicious day to perform the ceremony of becoming a disciple."

"Yes, yes, yes, my husband is right. Everything will be arranged by my husband." Liu Niang's face was full of joy: "My son Tiezhu has become a disciple of Dr. Lu. Old Chang, I really deserve your old Chang family. "

Liu Niang was in high spirits, and the light in her eyes was more dazzling than before.

Liu Niang looked at Tie Zhu standing beside her with satisfaction, and reached out to touch Tie Zhu's head lovingly.

"My son, when you become Dr. Lu's disciple in the future, you must work harder. Don't let Dr. Lu down, and be worthy of your husband's cultivation of you." Liu Niang urged.
