Chapter 203: Li Gang (Monthly Pass)
The depressed Li Yu left the villa with nothing to do and planned to go out for a walk, thinking about how to cultivate various talents.
There are many books of all kinds, but who do the dean is looking for?
Li Yu walked out of the yard and didn't know how to walk, but he actually came to the riverside. Li Yu saw that the scenery by the river was quite beautiful. He couldn't say it was charming, but in short, it was quiet. Listening to the sound of the flowing water of the river, his mood slowly calmed down with the sound of the flowing water. He didn't think about the things that the two girls forced him just now.
Li Yu, who had been by the river for a while, felt a little bored. He planned to go to the seed base to see how the new crops were like in this section?
Follow the river to the seed base.
As soon as I arrived at the seed base, I saw an old man and a fifty-year-old servant standing in the field pointing at the new crops.
This is a kind old man, his hair is combed very seriously without any mess. But those white hairs, like silver threads, and white eyebrows and beards. In the slightly sunken eye sockets, a pair of dark brown eyes quietly tell the vicissitudes of time.
There are not many old people of such an age in Li Yu of the Tang Dynasty. He stood there curiously and watched the old man and his servant pointing at the new crop in the fields, and happily telling the difference between another new crop.
The old man turned around and saw Li Yu looking at them. He thought the young man was so strange. The place was different from others. After looking at it for a while, he realized what was different. The clothes and hairstyles were also guessed who the young man was.
"Boy, are you Li Yu?"
After saying that, the old man came over and looked at Li Yulai curiously again.
Seeing the old man with kind eyes, Li Yu wanted to chat with the old man for a while, and said with a smile: "It's kid, me!"
The old man looked at Li Yu for a long time, and finally showed a look of satisfaction in his eyes. He nodded and said, "It is true that you are unruly and do whatever you want. As a marquis of the court, you don't take the system of the court to heart. At least if you don't have any clothes or hats, you should be removed."
The old man finished speaking in a serious tone, but he burst into laughter.
The old man seemed quite satisfied with Li Yu's first impression and murmured to himself: "Young people should have the vitality of young people. I can't stand those little guys who think they have learned a few books and like to moan without illness."
Li Yu continued proudly and said, "Of course, we are people who like to break the rules and regulations. Can those sickly moaning people compare with me?"
"well!"
The old man laughed and pointed at Li Yu and said, "I think you are a guy who doesn't know how to be modest. But I like your personality very much. Moreover, I have read all the books you wrote, and I have a good literary foundation. It will be no problem to spread throughout the ages in the future."
When Li Yu heard the old man say that he had a good literary foundation, his face turned red. He couldn't even understand ancient Chinese, but he had a big literary foundation.
Seeing that Li Yu didn't respond, the old man arranged: "Boy, come here quickly and introduce me to the new crops in the fields, so that people of my age can see the new crops added to our Tang Dynasty."
After saying that, the old man added: "By the way, my name is Li Gang. You should have heard of me, right?"
When Li Yu heard Li Gang's name, his eyes suddenly showed a gleam and he was overjoyed. He was so excited that he had searched everywhere without any effort.
Li Yu, who was happy in his heart, quickly raised his hand and bowed, and asked, "You are the Prince's Young Guardian, is that Li Gang?"
"Dang Dynasty, are there many people named Li Gang?" Li Gang asked back.
Li Yu muttered in a low voice, there is not many, but there is a guy named Li Gang in the future, whose awesome reputation is comparable to that of you.
"That's right, come and introduce your new crops. We're talking about something else later." Li Gang did not hear Li Yu's mutter. After answering, he urged Li Yu to introduce the new crops quickly.|
"You old man, you are not young, why are you so anxious?" Li Yu smiled and replied to the old man.
"Hey! Why do I feel so comfortable when you say "Old man"? Well, you Li Yu, you are really a guy who disrespects the law and has independent characteristics. But I like it very much. If you are bored in the future, I will chat with you. It feels very interesting to talk to you." Li Gang stared at Li Yu for a while and said.
After saying that, he laughed happily again.
"Look, this field is planted with corn fields. After red tassels, it will be the fruit of corn. By late summer and early autumn, the corn will become hot. In addition, the corn will be pollinated by itself." Li Yu walked over and introduced the corn, and shook the corn stalks with his hands.
After hearing the introduction, Li Gang said in surprise: "This new crop is really strange. The fruit grows on the waist and actually pollinates himself. Isn't that the male and female yin and yang?"
Li Yu did not answer Li Gang's words, and pointed to the sweet potato and introduced: "This land is sweet potato, also known as potato, native to America, and its fruit is in the root system. The crop yield is huge, and it should be about 30 dan. It can be stored in a cellar and stored..."
"In this field, peanuts are planted...its fruits are also growing in the root system...the field is planted with potatoes, with a yield similar to sweet potatoes..."
Li Yu accompanied Li Gang to introduce the origin, habits, and of course the yield of the plants in the seed base. Li Gang learned from Li Yu's introduction that except for cotton, these new crops came from the Western Regions, the rest were all from a place called North America, which was tens of thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty. Li Gang was shocked.
Although Li Gang was confused and shocked, he did not ask how these seeds were retrieved, but he was becoming more and more interested in Li Yu himself.
"Let's go! My house is ahead. I'll invite you to have a cup of new tea, and I'll guarantee you haven't drunk it?" Li Yu sent a malicious invitation to Li Gang.
"Okay, I heard that you built a house in secret, but I wanted to see it. What's the difference?" Li Gang happily accepted Li Yu's invitation.
Li Gang was once the three crown princes of the Sui and Tang dynasties. After Li Yuan Jiantang became emperor, he appointed Li Gang as the Minister of Rites and was also the Secretary of the Crown Prince. Li Gang was depressed and dissatisfied because he made many suggestions and was disobeyed because he was contrary to his intentions. Li Gang felt depressed and resigned. Li Yuan removed him from his post as the Secretary and still served as the Prince's Young Guardian. Since then, Li Gang came out to serve as Li Chengqian's teacher and was highly respected by Li Chengqian.
Li Yu thought about Li Gang's information. What a good candidate for the president of the academy. It happened that the old man was depressed and was tempted by future scientific knowledge. He was not afraid that he would not be the president, and he just solved Li Xiuning's affairs.
Since Li Gang entered the villa door with Li Yu, when Li Gang saw all kinds of trees and flowers he had never seen before, he began to ask curiously. Finally, he came to the villa and saw the lights emitted by electricity in the modern villa and the electric fan that automatically operated... and was shocked on the spot.
Li Yu took advantage of Li Gang's time to be dazed and asked Li Chun to inform Li Xiuning.
"Cough... Cough..." After a long time of surprise, the old man looked at various household appliances, an incredible look appeared in his turbid eyes, and finally shouted excitedly: "Incredible, it's really incredible."
When Li Yu saw Li Gang's excited appearance, he smiled and took Li Gang to the study on the second floor.
When Li Gang saw all kinds of books he had never seen before in the mahogany bookcase, he was even more confused. He stroked the new books that were still emitting the fragrance of ink. He hadn't spoken for a long time, but he just read them one by one, and kept asking Li Yu for advice if he couldn't understand.
For a true literati, what attracts him the most is of course the books and new knowledge that he has never seen before.
After a long time, Li Gang probably read it.
"well!"
Li Gang put down the books, suddenly burst into laughter, laughed for a while, and said happily: "All the books you have here are such treasures! They will be another new knowledge inheritance of our Chinese nation. As long as the knowledge in these books is passed on, I believe that our Chinese nation will take off when it will take off."
Li Yu did not answer the conversation, but struck while the iron was hot, but took Li Gang to the generator room.
No matter how beautiful the text is, I didn’t see the shock of the actual mechanical objects. When Li Gang stood in a huge steam generator for the first time, he saw the roar of the machinery running. The shock in his heart was indescribable. Finally, he shouted excitedly: "It’s incredible, it’s incredible."
Seeing the big machine roaring, Li Gang also understood that all the lighting fixtures and electric fans he had just seen in the villa should have been made by this big guy.
(On the first update, today is the 29th day of the New Year. I wish you a happy New Year, my friends.)
