Ming Zuo

Chapter 66 Poems
All Zuo Menggeng's impressions of Xu Guangqi came from inherited memories.

There are mixed opinions about Xu Guangqi, with mixed praise and criticism.

Throughout Xu Guangqi's life, there are many commendable things, but there are also many black spots.

However, at this moment, holding the original manuscript of the Complete Book of Agricultural Administration and looking at the carefully prepared crop seeds, Zuo Menggeng finally felt the greatness of this old man.

An old man who has never met, although there is gratitude and reward in it, can so happily donate his hard work to others, the greatness of which can not be exaggerated.

This is not a mere book, nor is the "Agricultural Affairs Quanshu" a large-scale printed matter endorsed by the government.

And in order to write such a book, Xu Guangqi's efforts are even more immeasurable.

After learning that Zuo Menggeng wanted to find a way to solve the famine, Xu Guangqi gave both seeds and agricultural books.

Compared to Zuo Menggeng saving Xu Ruolin, this kindness is too great.

"The knowledge of Duke Xuanhu's life spans the sky and the latitude. If it is used, the benefits to the country and the people will not be calculated. It's a pity that he is trapped in the case, which is a pity."

Zuo Menggeng really didn't know how to complain about the way of employing people in the Ming Dynasty.

He is obviously a technical official, but he can't give full play to his strengths, and has to waste the talents of talents in useless places.

Xu Guangqi has extraordinary accomplishments in agriculture, manufacturing, weapons, calendars, etc., but the court made him a servant of the Ministry of Rites...

It wasn't just Xu Guangqi who was treated like this.

Sun Yuanhua, Bi Maokang, Song Yingxing...

Xu Xiang didn't dare to say anything, after all, it involved the owner of the family.

He took out something again.

"Here is a letter from Xianggong, please read it in person, Master Zuo."

Zuo Menggeng quickly stood up and took it with both hands.He didn't sit down, but stood up and opened the letter, facing north to read.

Seeing his appearance, Xu Xiang couldn't help but light up.

Many young people who have read poetry and books may not be able to achieve this level of etiquette. This rough-looking boy really has too many merits.

At the beginning of Xu Guangqi's letter, Zuo Menggeng was flattered.

[Zuo's little friend Qingjian...]

In the letter, Xu Guangqi first expressed his gratitude to Zuo Menggeng for rescuing Xu Ruolin, and then expressed that he had seen Zuo Menggeng's "The Wealth of Nations", admired Zuo Menggeng's insightful insights, and was eager to see the follow-up as soon as possible.

The last part mentions farming, and also reminds some problems and precautions in the process of cultivation of western crops.

For Zuo Menggeng, these things are really priceless treasures.

Zuo Menggeng knew nothing about agriculture, and no one in this era knew how to grow Western crops better than Xu Guangqi.

With these tips, he can avoid a lot of detours here.

After reading the letter carefully, Zuo Menggeng felt that there was another smooth road in the plan.

In this era, any improvement in agriculture means going further on the road to hegemony.

I don't know how to repay this kindness.

"With this book and these seeds, the farmers on the farm will have another choice next year. Even if they grow [-]% more crops, it is the hope of the farmers to survive. Please tell Duke Xuanhu, the younger generation does not dare to cherish the broom, if you get , since it should be publicized in the world, with his old man as a model."

This statement made Xu Xiang very happy, and his impression of Zuo Menggeng was even better.

He took out a letter again.

"My lady has something else in mind, saying that it must be revealed by your son."

Xu Ruolin actually wrote to herself.

Zuo Menggeng's heart warmed, and after taking it, he instructed Zuo Yan, "Arrange guest rooms and banquets, and please have a good rest at Butler Xu."

Seeing that Zuo Menggeng didn't open the letter on the spot, Butler Xu was even more aware.

It seems that the relationship between the young lady and this young man is really unusual.

I don't know how Xu Guangqi will deal with it after he finds out.

Zuo Menggeng returned to his bedroom and avoided others before opening Xu Ruolin's letter.

As soon as he opened it, what he saw at first sight surprised him.

【zuo gong zi jun jian, nu yi gui jia, wan wu gua nian…】

He pondered for a while before realizing what Xu Ruolin said.

This girl actually used the pinyin and punctuation he taught in the letter.I don't know if I am reporting on my academic performance or showing off my learning progress.

Fortunately, the part of pinyin is only one point, and the latter is normal.Otherwise, even Zuo Menggeng would vomit blood when he read it.

Miss Xu's letter is more like homely, and there is warmth between the lines.

For her safe return, Xu Guangqi was very relieved and frowned.After returning from duty every day, he always kept her by his side, as if there were endless things to say.

Xu Ruolin also said that Xu Guangqi asked a lot about Zuo Menggeng's situation, and even said that Hou Xun and Liu Zongzhou personally came to take her home.

She only thought that the two elders were approachable and worked tirelessly, but Zuo Menggeng could see clearly that this was to make a face for herself.

At the same time, I also understood why Xu Guangqi was so solemn when he sent people to thank each other.

Zuo Menggeng could only keep in mind the divine assists of the two bosses in order to repay them in the future.

Behind the letter, it became Xu Ruolin's nagging.

The eldest lady said that she is very bored now, trapped in the house, and can't go anywhere.

Every day I can only ponder over the pinyin, punctuation and other things he taught, or reminisce about The Wealth of Nations.Xu Guangqi has been busy with government affairs recently, and she has no new academic achievements for her to learn.

But these things are too few, so that she has no freshness.

In the letter, Xu Ruolin urged Zuo Menggeng to write the following content of "The Wealth of Nations".Repeatedly instructed that if Zuo Menggeng wrote it, he must send it to her as soon as possible.

The most depressing thing about Xu Ruolin is that there is no one to communicate with in the house.

When Xu Guangqi was not at home, even the second brother Xu Erjue ran away in fright when he heard what she said.

I just hate that I am not a man and can walk around freely.

Then she must go to Linqing as soon as possible to discuss knowledge with Zuo Menggeng.

Looking at the fragrant hairpin small letters on the paper, Zuo Menggeng's mind showed the girl's delicate and bright appearance, and couldn't help showing a comfortable smile.

Among the people of this era, only when he gets along with Xu Ruolin can he feel that kind of equal and connected soul.

Sitting for a long time, my thoughts turned a few times.

Only then did Zuo Menggeng write and began to write a reply to Xu Ruolin.

Compared with Xu Ruolin's literary talent of learning Chinese and Western, Zuo Menggeng's literary attainment is really unmanageable.

He also does not have a class door to get an axe.

If he couldn't be as eloquent as Xu Ruolin, he honestly followed the simple style, and the language was mainly vernacular.

[I am relieved to hear that you have arrived home safely.In any case, after going through hardships, only when you return to your relatives and take care of them can you understand the value of family love.Duke Xuanhu was at an advanced age and could not bear the sadness.Your return is the best tonic for the elderly. 】

Having seen the situation of women in this era, he felt quite a bit of Xu Ruolin's resentment.

[I never thought that women should be inferior to others, and women also have the right to pursue their dreams and achievements.Don't be bored, don't be discouraged, I believe that in the future you will have an infinitely vast world and light. 】

Said a lot, but always feel pale.I can't help but sigh, the love of children is really not the director's.

How to comfort and motivate Xu Ruolin was at a loss.

With a pen in hand and a blank mind, I wonder if Xu Ruolin will think he is perfunctory when she sees these words?

Depressed for a long time, finally an evil fire couldn't hold back, making him ruthless.He picked up the pen again and made a shameful copywriter.

[Chinese sons and daughters have many lofty aspirations, and they do not like red makeup and love armed forces. 】

After I finished writing it, I found that the thousands of words in front of it were added together, and it was not as good as this poem.

It seems that personal cultivation still needs a long period of tempering.

Xu Xiang didn't stay any longer, and left with Zuo Menggeng's return gift and letter that day.

It took three days to return to the capital and informed Xu Guangqi of the trip.

"That Zuo Gongzi has a rough appearance, but he has a beautiful memory. He is not a reckless and vulgar person. He keeps all the seeds of the crops presented by the husband. He said that after the spring, he will let the farmers in the village try to plant them. Zuo Gongzi said that these crops are Traveling across the ocean and coming from a long distance may not be suitable for my China's soil and water, and it needs to be treated with caution to avoid mistakes."

These words made Xu Guangqi's eyes shine, and he couldn't help but admire him again and again.

"It's rare for a young man to be so steady. He has a temperament that can make things happen. No wonder Liu Niantai and Hou Ruogu value him so much."

Xu Xiang hesitated, but finally spoke up.

"Xianggong, then Zuo Gongzi is a young talent again, but his family background is limited, and he must follow the path of warriors.

Xu Guangqi seemed to be muttering, not knowing who the words were addressed to.

"This world, looking at the mess, who knows what the future will be like?"

In a peaceful and prosperous age, the literati are elegant and self-contained.Not to mention military commanders, there is simply no one in the world who can be seen.

But chaos is coming...

Useless is a scholar!
Xu Guangqi was old and frail, and he had no regrets in this life, but he had to think about it for future generations.

Xu Xiang didn't understand his deep meaning, so he asked for instructions: "That Young Master Zuo also wrote a reply to the young lady..."

Xu Guangqi waved his hand at will.

"Then send it."

The four words in the district are self-explanatory.

Xu Xiang quietly warned himself that he must be more flexible in the future.

　Thank you Wei Ai Qinger for the reward!
