Long Lin didn't have much time, so he started making arrangements directly.
Near the capital, there is still a large amount of land in the hands of the royal family. These lands are cultivated by people from the court every year.
Of course, more land has been awarded to various ministers.
There are still very few seeds now, and the royal land is enough. Long Lin made arrangements to sow the seeds in categories, and then made detailed arrangements on how to plant, how to harvest, and how to deal with the seeds.
Situ Heng and Fang Pu looked horrified when they heard this.
They looked at the pots of potatoes and flowers with stupid expressions on their faces.
If it hadn't been for Long Lin's words, they would never have known that edible potatoes could grow under such charming flowers.
And this was the first time they heard the word potato.
Although they were extremely surprised in their hearts as to why Long Lin knew this, they did not ask. They just suppressed their doubts in their hearts. However, there was no doubt that this incident frightened them.
They are all human beings, how could they not understand that His Highness is probably far more than they thought.
This was the first time he saw something, and His Highness actually explained it in one breath.
But they also understand that things that should not be said are forbidden even to death. They are already on the same line, and I am afraid that everyone in the court has already understood this matter.
After arranging these, Long Lin was in a good mood.
The silver that Fang Pu brought back really surprised Long Lin. Lord Fang only brought tens of thousands of taels of silver as an envoy, but when he came back, he actually brought back as much as a million taels.
How did this old man do it? Could it be that he had the Persian nobles at his fingertips all by himself?
After learning about it, Long Lin was amazed.
Lord Fang doesn't look like an official, he is even more treacherous than a profiteer.
But in his heart, he was very pleased with this. The imperial court needed such people as envoys, not those who pretended to be second-guessing.
With the money, Long Lin directly arranged for Fang Pu to start building schools all over the world. He wanted to transfer a large number of outstanding people in the capital to serve as deans of various schools. He wanted to build schools all over the world.
, quickly formed an unprecedented wave of learning.
At the same time, he arranged for Fang Pu to hold an imperial examination. This was the emperor's wish. It should be grand and known to the world.
And this time, it is not only about selecting officials, but also arranging students to do research work in various research institutes.
The first part was the emperor's intention, the second part was his intention. The emperor had no objection and acquiesced.
As for why the imperial examination was required, Long Lin could figure it out.
Most of the officials in the four states will probably be directly held accountable by Long Qi. Those people will definitely be unable to continue to hold official positions. This will suddenly create a large number of vacancies. His father may have already had the idea of replacement.
It's just that there has never been a good entry point.
Except for the officials from the Four Prefectures, Shizhou and Daizhou, most of them will probably not be able to escape the blame this time, which will make the gap even bigger.
Fang Pu is completely capable of handling these things, and Long Ye will be there to assist him, so he can rest assured.
At the same time, Fangyuan proposed to go on a second mission as soon as possible.
This was the promise he made during the negotiation. This time he would bring more things, but Persia had to collect part of the silver earned from the transaction. Although Fangyuan was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.
Long Lin nodded, he had already prepared everything over the years.
There are already a lot of things manufactured in various factories. What we are waiting for is that when Fang Yuan comes back, he can take these things with him and go on missions again.
After hearing these words from Fangyuan, Long Lin looked at Fangyuan.
"Master Fang, such a huge harvest is undoubtedly a great thing for our court, but you have already been on a mission to this matter once, and you are well aware of the dangers of this matter. With these gains, in the short term,
It’s totally okay not to go on a mission. My goal has actually been achieved.”
After hearing this, Fangyuan shook his head.
"Your Highness, these gains are of great significance. They are all foreign money that has flowed into our Dragon Dynasty. Although there are dangers, the benefits are also huge. If we can get more, then our court and our people will
I'm afraid I'll be rich soon. I'm already old and can't live for a few more years. I just hope that I can do more for the Dragon Dynasty and the people of the world."
After Long Lin heard this, he was stunned on the spot.
After hearing these words, Situ Heng was stunned.
It can be said that he knows Fangyuan very well. In the past, Fangyuan may have done most of his work for himself, but now Fangyuan only works for the court and the common people of the world.
He could clearly detect this change.
For a moment, he also received a great shock in his heart.
Yes, Fangyuan only has a few more years to live, but what about him? Isn’t it the same? The two of them are already similar in age.
Even the old man Fangyuan can think this way, let alone him. He has to use up all his energy to complete something well.
Otherwise, when he sees Fangyuan again in the future, he may be so ashamed that he cannot stand beside her.
Long Lin's eyes were a little complicated for a moment.
Fangyuan's words were exactly what he was thinking, but for such an old man to continue traveling on missions and serving his country, he really couldn't bear it in his heart.
"Master Fang, think about it, how about letting the three of them go instead of you?"
After hearing this, Fangyuan looked at Situ Heng's three sons, with a deep smile on his lips.
Although the three of them have changed, their experience is still not enough. Naturally, he can understand this. Although the three of them are as passionate as him now, they still cannot deal with many unexpected things properly.
After hearing this, the three of them opened their mouths, but did not say a word. On this mission, the three of them were convinced of Fangyuan, and the three of them actually understood in their hearts that they could not bear it now.
take on such an important responsibility.
"Your Highness, I will take them on one more mission. Next time, the three of them will serve for the imperial court. I believe that one more trip will be able to train the three of them well. By then, the three of them will also be able to train them well.
He has become a useful talent for the imperial court."
After hearing this, Long Lin could only smile bitterly and nodded.
"Okay, Mr. Fang, if you need it, just ask. I have entrusted someone to send the gold, silver and jewels that the emperor gave you to your house. Although I know that you may not need them now, but you can keep them here."
The money you have in your hands may be of great use in the future. Fang Pu, money is hard-earned and it is bought with blood. You have to make good use of it and don't fall into the hands of dirty people."
"Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured that your Majesty will take care of it."
After hearing this, Long Lin smiled and nodded.
"Very good. Come to my house today and let's get drunk again. Firstly, I have the right to see you off, and secondly, I will also go to Shizhou."
After Long Lin finished speaking, everyone smiled and nodded.
