Chapter 116 A newcomer comes to the academy
Zhao Yuanxi helped him up, feeling a severe headache, and could only explain, "I want you to discover your strengths, not to make you discover that you are useless!"
It’s not scary to walk into an alley, but it’s scary to reach a dead end and not know how to turn back.
She didn't expect everyone to be as talented as Zhang Liang and Zhang Cang. If talented people were everywhere, they would just be one of the millions of ordinary people. Why would they always say that talented people are hard to find?
The majority of people in the world are ordinary people.
They do not have extraordinary wisdom, and may not be particularly noble. They are like the sand and stones that can be found everywhere on the ground, small and ordinary. But it is precisely because of the existence of these people that this country can run in an orderly manner.
Besides, he is not as bad as he says!
Although Tao Zhi's talent was not top-notch, he was able to enter the Qin State Academy, so he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Tao Zhi looked depressed. "Your Majesty, there's no need to comfort me. I understand."
You know nothing!
Zhao Yuanxi rubbed his temples. "If you're really determined to leave, I won't stop you. But after you go back, what are your plans?"
Tao Zhi moved his mouth, his eyes were confused, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"Since you haven't made up your mind, don't make a decision lightly." Zhao Yuanxi said with a smile, "Go back first! After you think carefully about it, tell me your answer."
Tao Zhi raised his eyes and said, "I don't know what to do. Is there anything you, Your Majesty, would like me to do?"
Zhao Yuanxi said: "What I want you to do is what I am doing."
Tao Zhi was thinking about what the Queen Mother was doing. She asked Xu Yi to farm, Zhang Cang and others to collect thoughts from various schools of thought, and Zhang Liang to teach the people.
These seem to have nothing to do with each other, yet they seem to be connected everywhere, and they are all things that benefit the country and the people.
Something in his mind seemed to explode, and his eyes suddenly became firm. "I also want to share the Queen Mother's worries."
Zhao Yuanxi raised his eyebrows, "Who do you want to compare yourself with?"
Tao Zhi lowered his head again in embarrassment. "I know I'm not as good as them. I just want to do what I can do."
Hearing this, Zhao Yuanxi thought about it seriously before saying, "There is something you can definitely do, but I'm worried you might not be willing to do it."
"Your Majesty, please give your orders."
"Yuanxi Academy is actually still short of teachers. Although Zhang Liang has found quite a few people, they can only read and write. In terms of knowledge, they are far inferior to you. If you are willing, I can let you work at the academy."
"It's just that the academy is small. Sooner or later you will become officials of the Qin State. It would be a waste of your talents to go there."
Not everyone is willing to mix with commoners, so Yuanxi Academy has not employed any noble children except Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang was forced to do so, but others had other choices.
Zhao Yuanxi wanted to use them, but he didn't want to force them to confess everything to him and let him make his own decision.
When Tao Zhi heard about Yuanxi College, he thought of Zhang Liang's cold eyes, and couldn't help feeling a little resentful.
Having just had an argument with Zhang Liang, and now having to work under him, Tao Zhi's face was a little distorted. He only wanted to fight for it again. "There is nothing else. Is it something a villain can do?"
Zhao Yuanxi asked directly: "Then are you willing to go and farm with Xu Yi?"
"Or you can go to Zhang Cang and review the manuscripts he sent you."
"Otherwise, you should just follow Chunyu Yue and continue revising the article."
Except for the last one, the other two are not good places to go, but if I still work with Mr. Chunyu, what is the difference from now?
Tao Zhi hesitated for a moment before making a decision, "I am willing to obey the Queen Mother's orders and go to Yuanxi College."
He knew that he was not cut out for farming. As for Zhang Cang, his own articles were so poorly written that how could he assist Zhang Cang? What's more, there was also Ling Yin. When Tao Zhi thought of Ling Yin, he felt like his head was about to explode.
Zhao Yuanxi nodded slightly. He was not too surprised by his choice. People always tend to compromise. Although Yuanxi College was not a very good place, compared with the others, it was at least something he was good at.
"In that case, you should go with Zhang Liang!" Zhao Yuanxi looked behind Tao Zhi, with a smile on his face.
Zhang Liang walked over slowly, his eyes falling on Tao Zhi, and he had a new understanding of Tao Zhi's uselessness.
Having said that, he didn't even dare to compare himself head-on. Whoever said he would win, he had to be coaxed by the Queen Mother to come to the academy to work.
Tao Zhi looked embarrassed, not wanting to face him directly. "I apologize for any offense I've caused you before. I hope you won't blame me. I apologize to you here."
Zhang Liang said calmly, "It's okay, just follow me!"
Since he couldn't kick me out of this position, then he should just work for me! At least he had one more person sent to him, so there would be more people who could work.
Zhang Liang and Zhao Yuanxi looked at each other, and Zhao Yuanxi smiled back. Everyone could not help but say that the Queen Mother was kind.
Zhang Liang was silent. She looked like a good person, but why did people always feel that she was black-hearted?
After watching the two people leave, Zhao Yuanxi felt even better. She had finally gotten rid of the problem. She really deserves to be her!
After Tao Zhi entered the academy, other Confucian students also took up positions in Yuanxi Academy and taught more or less people.
The sun shines directly on the earth, the ice and snow gradually begin to melt, and the winter wheat that has been hidden in the snow gradually recovers its vitality, begins to sprout, and new green leaves emerge.
Zhao Yuanxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the wheat field was growing well.
The thing that overwintering plants fear most is not being able to withstand the cold winter.
Zhao Yuanxi noticed that even though anti-freeze measures had been taken in advance, the winter wheat in other places, except for the farmland where she had newly planted crops, had suffered varying degrees of damage. The plants were generally short and thin, with yellow-green leaves, and grew very slowly.
She couldn't help but sigh that it was indeed a high-quality variety produced by the system, and its cold resistance was much stronger than that of ordinary winter wheat.
Zhao Yuanxi was explaining to Chu the management measures for winter wheat in early spring when a group of people came up behind him.
Jang Geum immediately stood in front of Zhao Yuanxi with a wary look on her face.
"Stop, who are you?"
The Grain Controlling Secretary hurriedly explained, "Please forgive me, Queen Mother. I am Sun Li, the Grain Controlling Secretary of Qin. I have come here today on the orders of the King to bring these farmers to assist you in preparing for this year's spring plowing."
Sun Li received an order from the King of Qin to find farmers from all over Qin State, but there were too few farmers. The ones he found could only be considered farmers who had a lot of farming experience.
There was no way around it. For hundreds of years, successive Qin kings had attached great importance to the Legalists and had not paid much attention to other schools of thought. In addition, the Agriculturalists were based on agriculture, emphasized farming together with the monarch and the people, and advocated equal distribution of land and other things. This naturally caused dissatisfaction among the Qin upper class.
