Li Lezhi then remembered why he felt familiar with this person. This person was someone close to the emperor and should be a steward. He thought about it and decided to kneel down to receive the emperor's order.
Eunuch Liu also saw that Li Le knew nothing about this, so he said, "Master Li, just bow and salute."
Our dynasty has always treated talented Taoist priests well. A talented Taoist priest like Taoist Priest Li does not need to kneel when meeting Your Majesty.
Li Le just listened without any resistance. He thought that the fact that he bowed and saluted was a great favor from the emperor. He knew this. It should be about the Yuzhou matter. The emperor remembered his meritorious service and wanted to reward him this time.
However, what Li Le didn’t expect was that the reward was so huge!
And the position of the Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince, he...
Does this mean that he has completely been assigned to the prince's faction?
After listening to the eunuch's words, Li Le was even more surprised. He asked in confusion, "Grandson of the Emperor?"
The Prince's Grand Tutor is supposed to teach the prince, but the prince no longer needs his teachings, so the Emperor is using the honorary title of the Prince's Grand Tutor to let him teach the crown prince?
The prince has a son?
Seeing that Li Le seemed to be confused, Eunuch Liu said, "The grandson has not yet been born. It will take a few years before we can trouble Taoist Li to teach him."
Li Lezhi: “…”
Therefore, before that, he had to keep learning, and teach the crown prince for several years. By giving him such an official position, the emperor seemed to value him very much.
Li Lezhi: ...the team he left for the crown prince? www.jiangnanxs.com Jiangnan Literature Network
By the time the crown prince grew up, he had already served three dynasties. He was truly worthy of being an emperor, for he could plan so far ahead and even pave the way for the crown prince's son.
When the crown prince ascended the throne in the future, he became a member of the crown prince's team and pushed the crown prince to the throne?
At that time, Li Le could only hope that the prince would be like the current emperor. Otherwise, he would be caught in the middle and it would be difficult for him to deal with it.
But it's always a good thing.
Get promoted and make money.
The Prince's Grand Tutor is a second-rank official, and his salary has increased significantly.
Not long after he sent the man away, Gongsun Miaoran also came to look for him after leaving his post.
Gongsun Miaoran knew that Li Le was only named the Prince's Grand Tutor, so he came here specially to congratulate him and ask him something. Gongsun Miaoran said, "Master Li, do you want to calculate when the Crown Prince will appear?"
Li Le thought about it and agreed. He could also do some calculations. According to this calculation, the Crown Princess would have a child in three months. That means, in another one or two years, he would have to take care of a child.
Time is running out.
However, Li Le only figured this out, but he did not tell Gongsun Miaoran about it. He just said calmly: "Let it be."
Seeing this, Gongsun Miaoran did not ask any more questions and only told Li Le what had happened in the capital since he left.
Li Le only then realized that because he had previously calculated the matter about potatoes and sweet potatoes, the emperor vigorously developed the Ministry of Works and even asked it to build ships that could go to sea.
In an instant, Li Le could only see a powerful country slowly emerging.
There is also his impetus here.
No wonder the emperor appointed him as the Prince's Grand Tutor. I think it was because of this contribution. In ancient times, potatoes and sweet potatoes were no different from treasures. They were good things.
Knowing that potatoes and sweet potatoes can produce 1,000 kilograms per mu, no emperor would not be tempted.
After knowing that the emperor took this matter to heart, Li Lezhi felt relieved and learned that the Ministry of Works wanted to find him to discuss matters related to the ship.
Li Le just smiled.
Then, his smile faded and he started to think seriously. He was also thinking about the ship, whether he could calculate it or not. The blueprints of shipbuilding were not something he could draw. There were too many things involved, and they could not be simply described in words. This was not like drawing cotton. It was a huge project. Moreover, even if he calculated it with his divination, he could not draw it.
He can't possibly have to learn another skill.
Secondly, this kind of thing should be done by specialized people, and he is a layman. Thinking of this, Li Le felt that he could no longer stay in the capital, at least not in the near future.
Besides, the twelfth lunar month was approaching, so he decided to go back to Miaodao Temple to celebrate the New Year.
Therefore, Li Le sent Gongsun Miao away without any hesitation, then immediately closed the door to refuse visitors, packed up his things, and took Xiao Wu with him from Qujiang all the way to Yangzhou.
By the time the people from the Ministry of Industry arrived, they were already several days late. Looking at the closed door, he asked some questions and then had no choice but to take the drawings and go back.
He came at an unfortunate time.
When he returned to the Ministry of Works, the others put down their work, came to him, and asked eagerly, "How is it, Master Li, have you figured it out?"
He shook his head.
Everyone thought that Taoist Li had not figured it out, and they were a little disappointed. They were disappointed that even Taoist Li could not solve the problem they encountered, so how could they solve it?
"When I went there, the door of Taoist Li's house was closed. I heard from others that Taoist Li had left Beijing by boat two days ago and no one knew where he went."
"Is Taoist Master Li gone?" asked the doctor from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Water Resources.
The person in charge who went to look for Li Lezhi nodded and said, "That's what others said."
As for whether it was true or not, he didn't know, but the door of Taoist Li's house was closed, so he must have left. With Taoist Li gone, it was unknown when the problems encountered by their Ministry of Industry could be solved.
The person in charge felt a headache when he thought about this.
When the doctor of the Ministry of Water Resources learned that Taoist Li had left the capital two days ago, he was worried. After thinking for a while, he said, "Taoist Li was afraid that we would pin our hopes on him and lose the spirit of research, so he left the capital in a hurry without telling anyone."
Two days ago, when Taoist Li was named the Prince's Grand Tutor, he returned to Beijing from Yuzhou after a tiring journey. How could he leave Beijing in a hurry?
Something must have happened here that they were unaware of.
Or maybe, Taoist Li had already anticipated the current situation and knew how to solve this problem, but he didn't want them to give up and stop working hard on it, so he left Beijing in a hurry.
Yes, that must be it.
The doctor of the Water Department was instantly excited and said, "Master Li left the capital this time. He must have figured out that the direction we are heading is right. There is no mistake. We have built the boat."
Therefore, Taoist Li left with peace of mind.
He also didn't want this matter to be associated with him, so that others would neglect their contributions because of his popularity.
Yes, this ship can be built.
They will also leave a mark in the history, and Taoist Li does not want future generations to be unaware of all the people in the Ministry of Works because of his existence.
Since they can build this ship in the future, why should Taoist Li interfere?
So, they must have built this ship.
After thinking it all through, the doctor from the Water Department was full of confidence and expressed his guess in front of everyone.
Everyone learned that Taoist Li left because he had already calculated that the ship would be born in their hands, so he left with peace of mind.
In an instant, everyone was full of confidence.
The originally decadent, hesitant and doubtful mood was instantly swept away.
Yes, they must have built this ship.
After learning the result, everyone became very motivated and kept thinking about and discussing. If it didn't work the first time, they would try twice, three times, and they would always come up with a solution.
At this moment, many inspirations burst out, and the problems that had troubled them for a long time were solved. The more they communicated and discussed with each other, the more they felt that this was feasible. With the trust of Taoist Master Li, at this moment, no one would doubt that they could not make it.
Therefore, after discussing a solution, construction began immediately.
They also wanted to build the boat as soon as possible so that they could see it with their own eyes and go out to sea to find the sacred object for His Majesty.
…
On the other side, Li Lezhi didn't know that his departure made the Ministry of Industry think that he had already calculated that the ship would be built and would be born from their hands.
He is now on his way back to Yangzhou. However, on the way back to Yangzhou from Qujiang, he will pass through some states on the way. Last time, he passed through Jiangzhou. This time, Li Le only chose to start from the other side.
Before he set out, he cast a fortune and found out that there would be a storm in Jiangzhou, and that there might be an accident while sailing at that time. He also sent the result of his calculation to Jiangzhou by carrier pigeon.
When the governor of Jiangzhou learned about it, he did not dare to be negligent and immediately issued an announcement that there would be a storm on the waterways of Jiangzhou, asking fishermen and people who were crossing the river or heading to other places not to travel.
Even Taoist Li had to avoid the wind and rain, which shows that the force is quite strong. It is winter now, so it is best not to travel if possible, otherwise you might lose your life.
As soon as this news came out, since it was calculated by Taoist Priest Li, no one disagreed and believed it.
Its skills have gradually spread to various states.
Even the fishermen who were originally planning to go down to the river to fish suspended their plans after learning about this and did not rush down to the river. No one knew how big the storm was and no one dared to gamble with their lives.
Only those who are not afraid of death do not believe Li Lezhi's calculations. They think that they have been sailing on the river for many years and have experienced all kinds of storms. Moreover, looking at the weather, it is not easy to have a storm.
Secondly, he can swim.
Even if the boat really capsized, he could swim to the shore.
Therefore, the man did not take the matter to heart.
He learned that someone wanted to cross the river to another state, and no one else would take over. He observed for a while, and when the man came to him, he did not agree immediately.
He said, "There may be a storm soon. I'm risking my life if I take your order."
"I'll add more money. Is one hundred taels enough? I really have to go to Xuzhou urgently. The calculations made by that person may not be accurate. Even if there is a storm, it won't be such a coincidence. Maybe it's later. You send me to the place and then come back. I may not encounter it."
I learned that there would be one hundred taels of silver.
The boatman was immediately tempted. With the one hundred taels of silver, he could do so many things. He would never have to worry about food and clothing, and he could live a life of luxury. There was no need for him to live a hard life as a ferryman.
He was tempted in his heart, but pretended to be embarrassed. He smoked his pipe and thought about it. He glanced at the people crossing the river and saw that they were frowning and looked a little impatient.
The boatman then pretended to be embarrassed and said, "If it weren't for your urgent matter, I wouldn't agree to this." He stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the silver first."
The man felt a little worried when he saw him like this. He had heard about the Yangzhou case where a student going to Beijing was murdered by a ferryman.
He said, "I only have twenty taels on me. You take me to the place where I want to go. I will get the remaining eighty taels and give them to you."
When the boatman heard that there were only twenty taels, he was a little unhappy. But then he thought that after sending the person to the destination, there would still be eighty taels left. In order to get the eighty taels, he could only agree reluctantly.
After getting the money bag, the boatman weighed it twice and felt the silver in the bag. It was still twenty taels. He was so happy. This was much more than what he had earned from ferrying the boat before. He also had to thank Taoist Li for predicting that there would be a storm. Even the county magistrate was deceived into it. Otherwise, he would not have received such an order.
"Get on the boat," the boatman said with a glance, and the people crossing the river immediately got on the boat happily.
Li Lezhi then remembered why he felt familiar with this person. This person was someone close to the emperor and should be a steward. He thought about it and decided to kneel down to receive the emperor's order.
Eunuch Liu also saw that Li Le knew nothing about this, so he said, "Master Li, just bow and salute."
