...

The sea boat was opened, and the first person to board the pirate ship was Li Chengqian.

This kid also threw all the money onto the boat.

Be stupid!

What's even more stupid is that this kid actually thought of opening a new project at this time, and using the name of the court to pay for it himself.

What happened to Mr. Li at first was that after Li Chengqian used the money to the pirate ship, he was still so rich?

Now that Li Chengqian himself has been exposed, he has also shorted money, but just opened the Haikou and said that the court would not have to pay for it. Now it is difficult to talk about money, so he has to talk about things about things.

Old Li sneered twice, hum, let's see if you are impulsive again in the future.

This is how the court is. If you help them with work for free, they will be happy.

If you want money and land, they will discuss it.

Li Chengqian despised such a face.

At this time, a eunuch ran in and said a few words in Li Chengqian's ear.

When he heard this, his eyes couldn't help but feel happy. It was so nice.

After the eunuch went down, Li Chengqian stood up and bowed to Lao Li and said:

"Return to my father, my mother asked the eunuch to pass the message just now. In the future, the funds for the Agricultural College will be borne by the East Palace and the Inner Palace represent the royal family. In addition, the Handan Courtyard next to the Furong Pool has always been empty, so it is better to be the campus of the Agricultural College. How about it?"

Yes, it’s better for my mother. I knew that Li Chengqian was short of money at this time, so he actually came to give money and land.

After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Handan Courtyard is also royal. In this way, money does not need to be used by the court and land does not need to be used by the court, so there is no need to discuss it.

The ministers all looked at Lao Li, and Lao Li saw that he had "what everyone wanted" and agreed.

In this way, the matter of the Agricultural College was finalized.

After the court came, Li Chengqian followed Duan Lun to inspect the department under the Ministry of Industry and the department responsible for agriculture and crop research.

Duan Lun seemed very shy all the way. Li Chengqian was very strange, but after he arrived at the agricultural department, he realized why he was shy.

This place is like the worst building in the slums in the prosperous Chang'an. The tiles on the roof are dilapidated and they are afraid that they will leak when it rains, so the people living here use thatch to patch the roof!

"This, this... is the department of the court?" Li Chengqian widened his eyes and said in surprise.

Duan Lun nodded shyly.

When they walked in again, they happened to meet two old farmer men with mud legs. They saw Duan Lun Shangshu and Li Chengqian, and they were stunned and their eyes were confused.

"You are..." asked an old farmer.

Another old farmer was shocked and said in surprise: "You are Shangshu Duan!?"

Duan Lun was also stunned. When he heard that someone finally recognized him, he quickly responded: "Well, I am Duan Lun."

"Ah!" I didn't expect that Shangshu was really here.

The two of them hurriedly saluted.

"Fan has met Shangshu Duan!"

"Chai has met Shangshu Duan!"

Duan Lun waved his hand quickly and said, "This one is His Royal Highness in front of you!"

Fan Chai and the others were even more surprised at this time. After Duan Lun coughed, they quickly saluted.

Li Chengqian's surprise at this time was no less than that of them.

He asked in disbelief: "The two old peasants are officials of the Ministry of Works?"

Fan nodded, probably: "We are just a minor official who makes crops."

Hearing that he would definitely return the visa, Li Chengqian turned his head and looked at Duan Lun with some disbelief. You, the Minister of Works, don’t even know you. You are so good!

Duan Lun opened his mouth to explain to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian waved his hand, but instead peeked at the farmer and said he wanted to go inside and check it out.

After entering, Li Chengqian met seven or eight people, but they were still in the agricultural sector. Some of them went out to work. Most of the people they saw were old and thin, and they looked ugly compared to the officials outside.

In the corner of the yard, there are rows of seeds from crops. When I see them, I see them rice seeds.

Li Chengqian nodded.

"What are these seeds?" Li Chengqian asked.

"These are good seeds harvested from all over the country before the New Year. After planting, they must be sure that they are really good, and then distributed to others for planting." A person in charge named Wei said to Li Chengqian.

"What's your name?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Single name," he said.

Li Chengqian almost laughed when he heard this name. Fortunately, he held back.

He continued, "How about these seeds?"

"These are all excellent seeds, and each acre produces 100% or 20% more than the rice planted now."

One or two percent, ten percent and twenty percent, that’s pretty good!

Hearing this sentence, Li Chengqian asked strangely: "Why don't you release such good seeds to make the people's crops more productive?"

Wei Suo said helplessly: "These seeds cannot be kept. If they have been left, they will not have the first yield. I am afraid they are worse than ordinary rice!"

Then he explained that there was high yield rice in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was based on agriculture, so he was still very concerned about agriculture. Any good seeds in the country would be sent to Chang'an.

There were all three seasons of rice in the past.

However, the high yield of crops to be promoted in the Tang Dynasty was a standard, and stability was the most important.

This is not like later generations. When farmers wanted to plant rice, they went to the seed station to buy a bag of seeds and went home to plant them. But this was not the case in the Tang Dynasty. After they planted the first year, they had to keep a batch of rice they produced as the second seeds.

If these excellent seeds sent from all over the country are planted for a year, the seeds left behind will be planted without the yield of the first year. In a few years, the yield will be worse than that of ordinary rice.

This has become the seeds of the court that have excellent results, but the people cannot enjoy them.

"Then can't you let the people come here to buy seeds once a year?" Li Chengqian asked.

Wei Suo sighed and said, "The seeds here are not enough to sell, and they have to sell seeds together in a large area. This requires a lot of manpower and material resources, which is not something that a few of us can do."

Oh. In this way, there is a lack of manpower and material resources!

"It seems that this is what I need to do!" Li Chengqian sighed.

Wei Suo was confused. What is Your Highness saying?

Duan Lun finally had the time to show his presence.

He told the story of Li Chengqian's establishment of the Agricultural College. He shocked Wei Suo and the group of old, ugly, black and thin farmers behind Wei Suo.

Here we will talk about the components of agriculture.

When the Tang Dynasty selected officials, they judged people by their appearance. They often put talent and knowledge second, and their appearance first.

This idea is very strange, but they did this, believing that being an official must have a good image, but not a good image. Which people would like it? They look so ugly and make people hate or disgusting at first sight. What prestige can they say?

Therefore, those with talented and good looks have become officials. Even those with high talented and highly educated and no one looks good will be hidden in the snow.

And agriculture has become a place where these poor-looking officials have great talents.

So when Li Chengqian saw these people, he couldn't help but want to say that this is really an ugly concentration camp.

It was such a concentration camp. Wei Suo and the others never thought that the prince Li Chengqian would come to manage them?

Li Chengqian handed over the important task of explaining to the ugly people who were not civilized in the sub-concentration camps to Duan Lun and asked him to explain.

Li Chengqian walked to the seed bag and touched it.

Wei Suo followed him, and Li Chengqian asked, "Does there any seeds for sending three-season rice in Taizhou?"

"Yes. Yes, I'll be sent here in early spring." Wei Suo nodded and said.

Li Chengqian pointed to a row of bags in the corner of the wall and asked, "Which one?"

"Go back to Your Highness, it's not here. In the warehouse." Weisso said, "These are just a small amount of seeds sent from some small places, and more of them are placed in the warehouse."

After hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded.

He had a plan in his mind.

Duan Lun has roughly explained the establishment of the Agricultural College and the whereabouts of the agricultural community in the future.

"Ah? We will all move to the agricultural college in the future?" the old men exclaimed.

Duan Lun nodded: "Yes, that's it."

For a moment, the old men felt the surprise.

It was a department that had always been forgotten, but now it has become the prince's subordinate. This is simply because the sparrow turned into a phoenix!

When they were happy, Li Chengqian told them that after the Hanyan Garden was packed up, all the people and things here were moved over.

Furong Garden is a royal garden, a very famous place in Chang'an. In later generations, Lao Li gave this place to the fat King of Wei. He built a beautiful Furong Pool Dike, which became a "Weiwang Dike" in Chang'an. Of course, the people here know that place.

Moving from this leaking slum to living in a beautiful hibiscus pond, this is like a real sparrow turned into a phoenix!

"Everyone prepare well. From now on, you will be a member of the Agricultural College. I am your superintendent. You can tell me any needs in the future. And what we are doing is the same as what everyone is doing now. It is to find excellent seeds for the people and let the people plant high-yield crops." Li Chengqian said passionately, "I heard that you have already preserved some excellent seeds. I don't know the quality of these seeds. Wei Suo, you can choose one or two of them, as well as the three-season rice seeds, and give them to me. I want to plant one of them myself and see if the seeds are good!"

The old men were very excited to hear the previous words, while the old men thought that His Highness was a person who did practical things.

Wei Suo was stunned. They were all doing this test field. Isn’t your highness repeating it now?

"Your Highness, I will definitely do the test field well, please rest assured!"

"You were wrong!"
