Lu Heng was the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he was also well-known in the official circle of Qiandu City.
My young master has poached someone else's corner!
If they don't come back with revenge, how can they gain a foothold in the officialdom in the future?
I'm afraid that in a few days, all the scholars in the capital will criticize their young master.
What should I do?
"Young Master, in my opinion, it is best not to spread the news that Mr. Li has accepted you as his disciple."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid Lu Heng will be difficult to deal with." Butler Yang looked at Li Changkong's face and said cautiously.
Li Long also fell silent after hearing this.
After all, he was the one who brought this trouble.
"It doesn't matter, it's just Lu Heng. He was embarrassed by me at the poetry meeting today. What are you afraid of him doing?"
"Just do whatever you want. Even if all the scholars in the world know about it, what's the harm?"
"I will take care of these things. You don't need to worry about it. Just go and arrange the house."
When Butler Yang heard this, he had no choice but to sigh, then turned and left.
"En Mansion, if it really doesn't work, the students should go back to their hometown."
"I said it doesn't matter, it means it doesn't matter. How many times do I have to say it again?" Li Changkong's tone became slightly more serious. Li Long instantly gave up and lowered his head and said, "Students don't dare, please calm down."
"Yes." Li Changkong nodded, and after pondering for a moment, he continued: "You can ask Zhen Jian to take you to Xishan tomorrow. There are about three thousand acres of wasteland there."
"No matter what method you use and how much money you need, you can do it."
"I only need these three thousand acres of land to be planted with the rice seeds you mentioned, is that okay?"
"This..." On the one hand, Li Long was shocked by the wealth of his mentor's family, which actually owned three thousand acres of land. On the other hand, he was surprised by how much his mentor valued him.
I just listened to my own unrealistic idea and entrusted such a heavy burden to myself.
But, in the end, Li Long still hesitated and said: "Enfu, it's not that the students are unwilling, it's just that the students don't know how long it will take to get this kind of rice seeds."
"Besides, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money, and I'm afraid the gains may outweigh the losses."
Li Long was afraid that he had spent a lot of money on Li Changkong, but would not be able to get any results, which would inevitably be a waste.
"It doesn't matter, just do it. No matter how long it takes, I'll be waiting for you." Li Changkong said.
When Li Long heard this, he burst into tears of gratitude and said, "Students must try their best!"
Li Changkong nodded, already prepared in his heart.
What Li Long said is actually a bit like hybrid rice.
Of course, Li Changkong was an archaeologist in his previous life, so he definitely didn't understand the principles of hybrid rice.
I just feel like I can develop in this direction.
Let Li Long figure out how to do it specifically, that's what he does.
Of course, he is also mentally prepared for the time and difficulty of research and development.
After all, in the previous life, Mr. Yuan led a team and burned countless research funds from the country. Hundreds of scientific researchers traveled all over the country to select rice seedlings before they found the rumored male sterile strain.
After several more years of research and development, the first generation of hybrid rice was ready to be released.
Therefore, Li Changkong has no hope at all whether Li Long can produce hybrid rice.
After all, if you, an ancient person, could come up with hybrid rice by yourself without a variety of experimental equipment, you would be more than just a genius.
It's a monster!
Looking at the entire 5,000-year history of China, there may not be a single monster!
All he needed was for Li Long to combine the traits of the rice he mentioned and produce seeds.
Even with such seeds, I'm afraid Daqian's grain output can be doubled several times on the current basis.
At that time, whether it is cooperating with the imperial court, using it as military rations, or selling it directly, it will be a big business.
Of course, it has already reached the level of hybrid rice, so the business is naturally small.
The most important thing is to be able to feed more Dagan people, so that the Gan people no longer die of hunger.
…
In the next few days, life continued as usual. The addition of Li Long in the family did not affect Li Changkong's life at the Wulinghou Mansion and the East Palace at all.
Li Long was also very happy with the errand assigned to him by Li Changkong. He picked up his bags and headed to the Western Mountains at dawn every day, only returning when the moon was above the willow trees.
However, there are always people who are dissatisfied with this stable status quo and just want to create something to express themselves.
…
Lu Mansion.
Lu Heng looked at the disciples in front of him, frowned slightly, and said, "Where is Li Long? Why didn't you come?"
"Is it possible that you have returned to your hometown?"
The provincial examination is coming soon, and Lu Heng has to give lectures to the students every half month.
But what is Mr. Lu’s identity? He is a dignified left minister of household affairs! How can I give you a lecture in vain?
Just because Lu Gong doesn't say it, doesn't mean you don't have eyesight.
Is there a retouching fee?
So with Mr. Lu's status, his ability to polish his pen is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people. He needs a lot of money no matter what, right?
Therefore, every time another student comes, Lu Heng becomes happier.
Every time there is one less student, his complexion will be worse.
"Maybe he has returned to his hometown. Li Long has never had great ambitions. He is afraid that he cannot listen to his teacher's teachings." Lu Junda received the highest writing fee among all the students.
Otherwise, given Lu Heng's temperament, he probably would not have taken him to the poetry gathering held by Princess Huaiqing.
But now, it’s not necessarily a good thing.
Not only did Lu Junda fail to become famous through the Poetry Club, but he and Lu Heng also lost face.
As a result, Lu Heng is now very cold towards this student who is usually the most "sensible" student!
Lu Junda could also see it, so he hurriedly said something to please him.
"This Li Long is really a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved! If any of you are familiar with him, please tell him to come back soon!" Lu Heng was a little sulky. It was his idea to send these students to Qiandu City to take the exam.
The provincial examination hasn't started yet. What will it look like when people go back?
Let others know, I'm afraid it's not to criticize him.
After all, the literary world is never short of people who find fault.
"En Mansion, it seems that Li Long... did not return to his hometown, but joined someone else's family." A voice in the crowd said cautiously.
"A disciple of someone else? This is treachery, bullying the master and destroying the ancestors! This Li Long, I thought he was not a good person early in the morning, but I didn't realize that he could do such a thing. It is really a waste of all the efforts of the Enfu. !" Lu Junda reprimanded loudly, for fear that no one would hear him.
Lu Heng's face didn't look very good. His students switched to other people's schools. This was a big blow to any teacher, especially in terms of reputation!
"Who did you switch to?" Lu Heng said with suppressed anger.
"It is said that he is the eldest son of Wulinghou Mansion and a disciple of Li Changkong. Some people have seen that Li Long leaves Li Mansion every morning and only returns late at night."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place suddenly fell into deathly silence.
Lu Junda and Lu Heng simultaneously recalled the man who dominated them a few days ago.
