Du Fuwei obviously wanted his family to become the gateway to Zhong Ming Ding Shi, but that was not easy. Li Po had to conquer the world, otherwise the situation would be similar to his.
It's actually better now. Those years when the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System prevailed all over the world made people desperate. Ordinary common people didn't have to hope to reach the standards of aristocratic clans, let alone the grassroots.
At this time, Li Po was a little annoyed by the praise, and said to himself, you bastard, do you know the situation when I first married my wife? It was a marriage that only took a narrow escape. Do you know how many people I killed with that woman?
If it were you, if you didn't see the rainbow, you might have died in the wind and rain.
Under constant slander, he made a small account to Du Fuwei, and was still comforting himself in his heart, that is, seeing that you are worrying about your daughter, I won't argue with you now, otherwise I will not make it easy for you.
……………………
The food in Du Fuwei's family is very strange. This man is from Shandong, a true northern man. Most of the food served are Shandong flavors, but he has stayed in Jiangzuo for many years, so the cook who came with him is from Jiangdu.
The chef cooks fresh fish which is Jiangzuo’s famous delicacy.
After arriving in Chang'an, he wanted to try Chang'an's delicacies, so he spent a lot of money to hire two famous Chang'an chefs to come to his house. This opened Li Po's eyes, and the dishes served were a hodgepodge.
Du Fuwei's psychological adjustment ability was first-rate, and he became happy again in an instant and began to persuade him to drink.
Li Po was not very interested in drinking. He tasted all the dishes on the table and was very satisfied with Du Fuwei's attitude towards life. It's not easy for people to live in this world. You have to live your life happily.
Okay, Du Fuwei obviously put a lot of effort into eating and drinking.
It's not easy to entertain distinguished guests just like this...
After the two drank a few drinks, Li Po said: "I have read what you said, and I think it is very good. You belong to the Fang family and I think I will leave this matter to you.
And there are things to do that are better than running to Caiyufang all the time, don’t you think?”
Du Fuwei was stunned for a moment, and then grinned. Although they were of low origin, they were all extremely smart people. He, Old Du, was not someone who indulged in wine and sex. His current efforts to look for flowers and ask willows were just for show.
That's all.
This letter was written on a whim, but more importantly, he wanted to test the emperor's mind. If the emperor rejected him without hesitation, he would have to be honest for a while.
Now that he agreed so happily and came to speak in person, Du Fuwei felt relaxed and had a new understanding of the emperor's magnanimity.
With this as a premise, he will be more comfortable living in Chang'an. He is also a little tired of going to Caiyufang all day long...
So he raised his glass solemnly and said: "The Supreme Being can use me to do things, and I can only feel grateful in my heart. I heard those people say that in ancient times, most of the princes who separated themselves from one side did not end well.
That is to say, Cao Mengde is a man of great measure, can use Zhang Xiu, Zhang Lu and others, and achieves a good death. I am willing to imitate him and become Zhang Xiu under the supreme rule."
After finishing the drink, he forgot Ma Zhou's instructions and even commented on Cao Mengde. This shows that Cao Amo had a very positive image in the world.
After hearing this, Li Po nodded in approval and even had a drink with him, but he said in his heart that Zhang Xiu almost killed Cao Cao, and also killed Cao Ang, Cao Anmin, Dian Wei and others. Cao Mengde was able to treat Zhang Xiu kindly in the end.
It is truly as big as the ocean, and you can’t admit it even if you don’t want to.
When you compare like this, it makes me feel very panicked.
Regardless of whether you are panicking or not, there are some things you still have to say, "Building an academy is not as simple as you think. For example, the knowledge you teach must be organized, not without rules, and teach whatever you want."
I have handed over your memorial to the three provinces and are currently debating it. Don’t be idle as well. You must clarify the affairs at sea and compile them into a volume. Once everything is complete, I will ask you to build the academy. If it fails, please contact me as soon as possible.
I said, don’t make it a joke in the end.”
Ah? Is this still going on? Du Fuwei was caught off guard and was a little confused.
He built the academy only on a temporary basis, and he didn't even expect the emperor to agree. Now he's a little confused when it comes to the details.
Moreover, he is sailing on the sea. The new people on the ship are taught practical operations. If they go back and forth on the sea, if they don't die, a boatman will almost become an apprentice. As for forming words, these rough sketches are not that capable, and they have never even been able to do so.
Have thought about this.
According to Du Fuwei's style of doing things, this is also the case. If you have an idea and put it into practice, your planning is not strong, but your practical ability is first-rate.
Seeing him like that, Li Po knew that this guy was unprepared. He immediately said with a straight face: "What? Is this just a talk? Or do you want to make a joke with me?"
Seeing that the emperor was angry, Du Fuwei knew that he had lost his temper, and thought to himself: How could I have known that you would be so rash and let me build the academy?
As his eyes rolled, he cupped his hands and said: "Supreme Lord, please calm down. I will definitely get things done. Even I haven't read any books. I originally wanted to get everyone on board, but after a month or two, I learned how to do it."
, but you asked me to write it into a book, how can I do it?
Moreover, I can’t teach you how to work at sea alone. I need some helpers. If the Supreme Being can be accurate... I still need to transfer some people from Jiangdu..."
The more he spoke, the more he felt that something was not quite right. He started to stutter a little and looked at the emperor eagerly, wanting to eat back what he had said before.
However, Li Po has softened his expression. The three provinces have shown little response to this matter. They are obviously not interested in maritime affairs.
This is not surprising. The Central Plains Dynasty has always been a continental empire. In terms of current productivity and transportation conditions, this country is vast enough and there is no need to venture to the sea.
Being able to cross the sea to conquer Ryukyu and attack Goguryeo shows the strength of the former Sui Dynasty at sea, but this will not become the motivation for the courtiers to develop maritime strength.
Moreover, the disastrous failure of the three expeditions to Goguryeo made people reluctant to mention the topic of the Eastern Expeditions.
Therefore, it is expected that the courtiers' reaction to this matter was dull. If you want to hear some useful suggestions on this matter, you have to be someone like Du Fuwei who has walked on the sea.
Du Fuwei thought that by asking the emperor some problems, he would be able to give himself some time to think about it, but he was wrong. Li Podang nodded and said: "You make a list of who you want to transfer, and I didn't read it."
It's not a big deal to write a letter. I'll send some assistants to the house and let them take note of anything you have to say.
There is also Ma Zhou, who is very well-organized. It shouldn’t be a big deal to ask him to help you write a book. The work at sea is a good knowledge. If it can be published in books, it will definitely benefit the world.
By then, your merits, Li Fuwei, will be immeasurable, and maybe even I will be able to benefit from it."
