The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Fu looked at Sui Jianzhi.

"This whole area is where the teachers of the academy will live in the future. When they come to teach in the academy, they must be arranged to live." Li Fu said: "From here to there, it is all over, and we have specially reserved a place for this piece of wasteland in the back. We can build more houses when the situation permits." Li Fu said: "The place where the teachers live is a separate area, which will be separated from other places in the academy. There will be a door, and there will be doors in other directions, which will facilitate the teachers' entry and exit in the future."

"If Mr. Sui has any good ideas, just go to Yan Just bring it up, my brother. If it is suitable, we can make some minor adjustments when we start construction. If it is too late, it may be difficult to make adjustments. "

"Yes, Your Highness and Master Yan have thought it through. Jian Zhi comes here every day to take a look, and he is looking forward to it. "Sui Jian Zhi smiled embarrassedly: "In the past, I have never seen a project of this scale, and it is only a college. Perhaps, Jian Zhi will see a college that is incomparable to other places in this farm." "Really?" Li Fu smiled.

"Jian Zhi grew up in a poor family. After his parents passed away, he traveled to many places and visited many academies for the sake of studying." Sui Jian Zhi said, "It was also during this process that I met my mentor Mr. Lu and was fortunate to be able to study under him, which led to where I am today."

"Among the places Jian Zhi has been, no academy can compare with the academy built on this farm now."

"At least in terms of scale, or perhaps, Jian Zhi has not been to enough places and his horizons are not broad enough."

Sui Jian Zhi said modestly.

"The scale of the academy is indeed not small." Li Fu said: "However, this is all to cultivate more talents for the Tang Dynasty, more comprehensive talents."

"So-called talents are not just about reading, or having the ability to command troops. In other aspects, as long as they are good enough, they are also talents for the Tang Dynasty. Some people are good at farming. For the same land, others can produce three stones of grain per acre, while some can produce five stones of grain. Then he is the top talent in farming and can teach students how to farm to produce more grain.

In my opinion, such talents are more important than ordinary scholars.

Food is the foundation of the country, and its importance is self-evident."

"I think such people are also qualified to come to the academy to teach students. What do you think, Mr. Sui?"

Li Fu was testing Sui Jianzhi's attitude and his... ideological problems.

"If it is really as your highness said, then he is indeed qualified to teach students." Sui Jianzhi said.

"For example, a skilled craftsman can make things that ordinary people cannot make. He is also qualified to teach students and pass on his skills and experience to students." Li Fu smiled and said, "There are also talented people among the people. We should not underestimate the heroes of the world. Not all talented people are recruited by the court. What about the Ministry of Works and the Supervisor of Craftsmen? Among them, perhaps in terms of skills alone, they may not be able to compare with some skilled craftsmen in the folk."

"The Tang Dynasty needs a lot of talents, not just scholars. The Tang Dynasty is the Tang Dynasty of everyone, not just the Tang Dynasty of scholars." Li Fu looked at Sui Jianzhi.

Li Fu's words sounded a little unfriendly to scholars.

Sui Jianzhi didn't feel so good listening to them. In the past, he studied just to gain fame.

Learned literary and martial arts, and sold them to the emperor's family.

If he studied but didn't become an official, then all his talents, his ideals, and his ambitions would have nowhere to display.

But thinking carefully about what His Royal Highness Jingyang said, it was right.

The Tang Dynasty is not just for scholars.

"Scholars are knowledgeable and can think of many things. When dealing with matters in the court, reading is the basis and also the threshold." Li Fu said: "But if we really talk about it, how many scholars are there? How many people are there in the world?

What is the ideal of scholars?

What are the needs of people in the world?

People live their whole lives, and they cannot live without food, clothing, housing and transportation. These four things may be better provided by reading, but they cannot be created from scratch by reading.

Not everyone can serve as an official in the court, stand in the court, and make decisions.

I have been to the court. At most, there were about a hundred people standing there.

How many people are there in the whole Tang Dynasty?

Those hundred people are the best, and they are qualified to stand in the Taiji Hall."

Scholars have an inexplicable arrogance.

I don't know what they are thinking about.came.

I can only say that there are both good and bad sides.

With this breath, they study harder, enrich themselves, strive to be the one standing in the court.

But with this breath, it also limits them, making a small group of people feel that they have studied and their talents cannot be wasted.

To put it bluntly, they can't take off the long gown of scholars.

If you can't put down the scholar's arrogance when you do practical things, it won't work.

Li Fu was still thinking that since his fiefdom was in Jingyang County, he would tidy up the land and let the county magistrate of Jingyang County put down his status and cultivate the mass base.

Xiao Yu, the prime minister, was still leading the people to kill locusts with a dusty face. He also put down his status and did things seriously.

Li Fu didn't expect that his few words would make Sui Jianzhi realize it.

Anyway, there is still time, let him go back and think about it.

After all, he is a student of Old Man Lu. If he doesn't even have this much understanding, I don't believe that Old Man Lu accepted Sui Jianzhi as his disciple just because he likes to read.

As for Sui Jianzhi not becoming an official, it may be because of his family background.

The imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty is still inherited from the former Sui Dynasty and is not so perfect. As long as you are a scholar, you can participate in it locally.

You still need to be recommended.

What Li Fu is puzzled about is why Old Man Lu didn't recommend his students?

When I have time, I will ask Old Man Lu.

Li Fu also has a gossipy heart.

He gossiped about Sui Jianzhi in Zhuangzi.

The emperor and empress in the palace gossiped about Li Fu's personal problems.

"The Zhenguan era must be an era where everyone strives for strength."

Li Fu's eyes were bright and he looked at Sui Jianzhi.

"Everyone will shine in this brilliant era. Even if they are not recorded in history, they will leave their own unique mark in the torrent of the times."

As he said this, he reached out and patted Sui Jianzhi's shoulder.
