Chapter 617 Cooperation (Part 1)
Fang Jun's veins were beating wildly on his forehead, and he was extremely annoyed.
Is it possible that our reputation has become so bad that anyone we look for is seen as looking for trouble?
Besides, your Sinong Temple is a poor yamen?
Stop talking about it, okay?
The main responsibilities of Sinong Temple are to take charge of grain storage, warehouse management and the supply of rice to officials in the capital. It is in charge of the four offices of Shanglin, Taicang, Goudun and Feiguan, as well as Zhucang, Sizhu, Zhutang, Prisons such as Palace Garden, Yanchi, and Zhutun. All the officials, officials, officials, court meetings, and Cai Si necessities in Kyoto were all provided by Sinong Qing.
No matter in any era, there is no unit that is not close to the grain warehouse, let alone the unit in charge?
Such a well-off yamen can even mess with the tea for guests, which shows how stingy its supervisor is...
Fang Jun was so angry that he kicked the clerk and said angrily: "Hurry up and lead the way, otherwise I will offend someone and I will probably skin you!"
Shu Zuo was so frightened that he burst into tears and jumped up quickly: "I will lead the way right now. Erlang, don't be angry. Erlang, don't be angry..."
His legs and feet rushed out quickly.
Fang Jun was helpless. It seemed that he had to pay attention to managing his reputation in the future. How depressing would it be if he was regarded as a big stick and everyone stayed away from him wherever he went?
In the duty room, Sinong Qing Dou Jing saw a black-faced boy walking in, and said with a smile: "But Fang Erlang in person?"
Fang Jun looked at the old man with white hair and boyish face in front of him, and he quickly saluted and said: "Junior Fang Jun, I have met Mr. Si Qing."
I can't be disrespectful, this Sinong Qing is too old!
In the early years of Wude, not long after the great ancestor Li Yuan came to the throne, Dou Jing was appointed as the chief steward of Bingzhou. Liu Shirang, the then chief steward of Bingzhou, was weak in character and was only in name only. The entire steward of Bingzhou was actually under the control of Chief Shi Dou Jing. What is particularly important is that His Majesty Li Er used Bingzhou as his base for his western expedition against Xue Rengao. Dou Jing strongly supported it, which earned His Majesty Li Er the most glorious achievement - defeating Xue Rengao.
When His Majesty Li Er came to the throne, he immediately transferred Dou Jing to the position of Sinong Qing and made him the county male.
This is His Majesty Li Er's direct lineage, and he is older than Fang Xuanling. How can I be disrespectful?
Dou Jing laughed: "I have always heard that Fang Erlang is chivalrous and heroic, why do you need to be so formal? Just be more casual. Please sit down quickly. Come and serve tea!" Then he quickly added: "Here's tea!"< br>
Fang Jun's eyelids twitched, this old miser...
Then he sat down next to him as he was told.
Dou Jing looked at Fang Jun with a smile and praised: "These days, my ears are all about Erlang's gift of poetry, and he proves his innocence with one amazing poem after another. The old man is really impressed. It’s endless. Erlang deserves the title of the first poet in the Tang Dynasty!”
This is the benefit of fame...
In addition to the notorious reputation of "Bang Chui", those classic poems also spread Fang Jun's literary reputation and was recognized by scholars. Although there are some flaws in his character, his talent is really amazing. Such a talented person will not be seen in a hundred years. How can you not be impressed and respected?
Even a senior "old oil man" like Dou Jing has to be polite and give enough face when facing Fang Jun.
Literati are the most prominent class in this era.
And Fang Jun has stood at the top of this class through one masterpiece after another that blinds people's eyes...
Fang Jun said modestly: "In front of you, what does the reputation of this junior mean? If it weren't for seniors like you who have gone through wars and sacrificed their lives, how could we have such a prosperous and stable world today? In the eyes of this junior, You are the real celebrity!”
"Hahaha..."
Dou Jing laughed heartily at Fang Jun's compliment. The more she looked at Fang Jun, the more she liked him.
Sure enough, it is better to meet him than to be famous. Who said that Fang Jun is smelly, hard, and can break the sky with a stick?
He is obviously very knowledgeable!
Of course, Dou Jing, who has long since become a spirit, naturally knows that Fang Jun's words are more flattering than true, but so what? No matter in officialdom or in the market, everyone carries the so-called sedan chair, saying hello to you, me to everyone, this is the way to behave in the world.
Being unconventional and outspoken is absolutely unacceptable.
Wei Zheng was strict throughout his life and would never follow the crowd, but in Dou Jing's view, he would eventually have to pay the price for his current toughness...
Dou Jing laughed for a while and asked kindly: "Erlang is here today. If you have anything to do, it doesn't matter. As long as I can help, I will never refuse."
When he said this, it already meant that he had an equal relationship with Fang Jun.
In terms of qualifications, Dou Jing is more experienced than Fang Xuanling, so why give Fang Jun any face?
Fang Jun is not an ignorant person. Hearing this, he quickly said: "Senior is like this. I am really flattered by this junior. I came here today because I want to discuss something with senior."
At this time, a scholar served him fragrant tea.
The fragrance of the tea was leisurely and refreshing, it was the top grade Longjing tea, and Fang Jun breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed a little thirsty, but the tea he just drank in the concierge was really hard to swallow, and he still had lingering fear in his heart.
It seems that this Chief Sinongqing is only waiting for people to serve dishes. Unless he cares about people, he only has broken tea leaves to serve...
Dou Jing motioned to Fang Jun to drink tea.
They both took a sip, and Dou Jing said, "What do you want? Just tell me. There's no need to hesitate."
Fang Jun drank tea to moisten his throat, put down the tea cup and said: "This junior has always been deeply interested in farming and has some insights into the methods of farming. Now the world is at peace and the weather is smooth, but the people in the world who are hungry are still There are quite a few. Every time I think about it, I can’t sleep at night and feel pity.”
Dou Jing's face became serious.
One of the responsibilities of Sinong Temple is to teach people how to farm. But who is willing to do such laborious things? Therefore, since the previous dynasty, Sinong Temple himself has gradually forgotten this responsibility and focused exclusively on warehousing in various places, collecting grain and replenishing inventory. This is a good thing that can not only show political achievements but also get benefits.
Now that a junior mentioned farming in front of her, Dou Jing felt that her old face was burning and uncomfortable. Is this kid here to embarrass someone?
Dou Jing suppressed a smile, looked at Fang Jun with piercing eyes, and said coldly: "Erlang cares about the world and cares for the people, which really makes me admire him. But as it is said that he does not seek political power if he is not in his position, Erlang should still be corrected in Chongxian Hall. Books, it’s better for everyone to do their duty.”
It's not your business, so just stay here. Do you need to worry about the affairs of Sinong Temple?
Fang Jun was still smiling, as if he couldn't see Dou Jing's displeasure at all, and said to himself: "You are right, the junior's duty is to correct the books. Today, the junior discovered that since ancient times, there have been many things about farming. The books are extremely scarce, and the language is unclear and the content is poor, whether it is Pan Sheng's "Book of Pan Sheng", Cui Shi's "Monthly Order of the Four People" or Jia Si. Xie's "Qimin Yaoshu" has various shortcomings and deficiencies. Therefore, the younger generation collected some ancient books and books on farming in the library of Chongxian Hall, and compiled a large amount of farming experience, intending to compile it. A book on agriculture was published all over the world. From then on, all people in the world will use this book as a guideline to cultivate all things and become self-sufficient!"
Dou Jing was almost scalded to death by the tea...
He held a sip of hot tea in his mouth and swallowed it wholeheartedly. He didn't care about his foamy tongue. He widened his eyes and said in shock: "What did you say?"
Fang Jun smiled: "You heard that right."
Dou Jing couldn't calm down anymore...
Compiling a brand new agricultural book?
This is a great achievement of writing a book and spreading it through the ages!
"To the greatest extent, there is virtue, then there is meritorious service, and next there is speech." Even if it lasts for a long time, these are called the three immortalities!
Establishing virtue means creating laws and providing benefits to others; establishing merit means rescuing disasters and relieving difficulties, and making merit at the right time; establishing words means grasping the essentials of what is said and having enough reason to spread it.
Establishing virtue and meritorious service not only requires great wisdom and perseverance, but also requires the development of the times. It is too difficult and cannot be accomplished without the outstanding people of the world. Relatively speaking, "establishing words" has become the most persistent pursuit of almost every literati. If you can write a book and pass it down to future generations, that will be the greatest achievement, and you will die without regrets!
The most important thing is, what did Fang Jun say in the last sentence?
Published all over the world? !
Dou Jing felt that her blood was boiling...
But he could only suppress his excitement and asked slightly doubtfully: "Compared with Erlang's talent and learning, it should not be difficult to write a book. But this publishing world... is not something that old people look down upon. If you marry Erlang, even if you have a fortune, you may not be able to achieve it, right?" (End of Chapter)
