Just as Feng Jue put down the pen in his hand, familiar footsteps came from the corridor outside the house.
"Father?" Feng Jue packed up the letter unhurriedly. Seeing that it was Feng Ren, his knitted brows relaxed.
Feng Ren saw his movements and raised his eyebrows. "Did you ask the servant to look for me just now? What's the matter? "
Feng Jue said, "Father, you have a lot of connections. I would like to ask you for a favor and pass this letter to a classmate of mine when I was studying."
He was in an awkward situation now. He needed to be careful in his communication.
Feng Jue thought about it several times. He felt that it was most appropriate for his father to do this. His second brother, Feng Jin, could also do it, but the two brothers rarely met. After Feng Jin got married, he separated from the family due to various reasons. He did not live with them anymore, so Feng Jue could only ask his father for help.
Feng Ren did not take the letter. He just looked down at the name and signature on the letter.
Feng Jue took the initiative to explain, "I met the Duke of Lanting today. I thought she might need this person, so I made a recommendation."
Feng Ren's brows relaxed. He reached out to take the letter and asked, "Why don't you do it yourself?"
If the recommendation was meritorious, Feng Jue could use this opportunity to become an official again. As a father, Feng Ren naturally did not want his youngest son to deal with a three or two-year-old kid all day long. Feng Jue was not born to be a teacher. Asking him to teach and educate people? Haha, misleading the young!
Huang Song was also open-minded. He entrusted his daughter to Feng Jue. Wasn't he afraid that she would be taught to deviate?
Feng Jue said, "I have no interest in an official career. I helped to recommend him today because I think the Duke of Lanting's temperament is interesting."
Feng Ren sighed secretly. He had already experienced his youngest son's stubbornness. He had no choice but to let it go.
"Then … who is this person you recommended?" Feng Ren asked casually.
Whether Feng Jue had the intention to become an official or not, he took the initiative to use his connections to help Jiang Pengji attract talents. This was a signal of goodwill.
Feng Ren naturally did not want Feng Jue's goodwill. Because of the details, they would not be able to form an alliance but instead become enemies!
Feng Jue saw through his father's thoughts and said coldly, "I'm afraid he is the only remaining descendant of the family. This person's surname is Dou, and his name is Xi. His courtesy name is Zong Guang. He was my classmate when I was studying. According to what the Duke of Lanting said today, she might be able to use this person. "
Feng Ren asked in surprise, "Nongfu?"
Although the House of Agriculture was one of the hundred families, it had been in dire straits for hundreds of years. When Feng Ren was an official in the imperial court, he had never heard of any official who was from the House of Agriculture. Although the Mo family was in a miserable state, at least they still had a few descendants. Now that they had received Jiang Pengji's support, they had the potential to prosper.
What about the farmers?
Most of the members of the School of Agriculture were officials in agriculture. In layman's terms, they were officials related to agriculture. But because the School of Agriculture was in decline, those officials had nothing to do with the School of Agriculture. Feng Ren was quite shocked to hear that his son was the successor of a certain school of Agriculture.
Feng Ren asked Feng Jue, "Although the Duke of Lanting attaches great importance to agriculture, I've never heard her mention this …"
In the past, Jiang Pengji needed the disciples of the Mohist family. Even if the Mohist family and the Confucians were at odds, she would specifically look for the disciples of the Mohist family.
Now that they needed the people of the Agricultural Family, why wasn't there any news about it?
Feng Jue briefly explained what he had bumped into that day. In his opinion, Jiang Pengji was indeed an interesting person.
"I see. This is like her style." Feng Ren showed a cautious and approving expression. "Then, what can he do?"
If he was a talent, it would naturally be a good thing. If he was a mediocre talent, not only would he bring harm to the people, but others would also criticize Feng Jue, who had introduced him, for getting into trouble for no reason. Feng Ren's heart ached for his youngest son, so he naturally had to help him control the situation.
Feng Jue said, "It's hard to say about his talent, but his temperament and work style are what the Duke of Lanting needs the most."
What did Jiang Pengji need the most?
She needed a talent who was down-to-earth, hardworking, obsessed with agriculture, and willing to compile agricultural books to benefit the people. Even if this person was not from the School of Agriculture, as long as he met these conditions, he would most likely be appointed by Jiang Pengji. He did not need a lot of professional knowledge, but he must have professional self-restraint.
After thinking about it, the candidate recommended by Feng Jue just happened to meet her standards.
"That's good." Feng Ren nodded and said, "As long as this person hasn't moved to another place, I will find a way to send the letter to that person. To avoid wasting time, it's best to inform the Duke of Lanting about this. As long as this person is under the rule of the Duke of Lanting, he will definitely be found. "
Although Feng Jue and that person were classmates, they did not have much contact. He only vaguely remembered where the person was from, but he did not even know his home address.
Feng Jue said, "I heard that this person's ancestor served as an agricultural official for several terms during the Xia Dynasty. If we follow this clue, we should be able to find him."
At the same time, Jiang Pengji also thought of the School of Agriculture after being reminded by the audience in the streaming room.
Since she pinned her hopes on the development of science and technology on the Mo family, the School of Agriculture would naturally be indispensable in the development of agriculture.
Jiang Pengji searched for information on the School of Agriculture overnight. After reading it, she had a hunch that it would be difficult to find people from the School of Agriculture.
The School of Agriculture was roughly divided into two categories. The first category advocated sowing hundreds of grains and advised people to plough mulberry so that they could have enough food and clothing. The second category was related to their political ideology. For example, the ruler and his ministers ploughed and ate together. In layman's terms, the ruler should plough and cook together with the people …
From a modern point of view, this was promoting equal labor for everyone. There seemed to be nothing wrong with it, but would the feudal rulers in ancient times care about this?
Seeing this, Jiang Pengji knew why the School of Agriculture was worse off than the Mo family. This political ideology was like stepping on a landmine.
In this aspect, the Confucian school was more favored by the rulers. It was no wonder that it was later revered as the head of the hundred schools of thought.
"Speaking of which, can I find a decent successor for the School of Agriculture?"
Jiang Pengji was not confident about this.
Koujiao Chifan: "What are you afraid of? Streamer, you have to believe that you are the chosen one. The talents you need will automatically come to you! "
Wuxing Dianzhi: "You might even be able to cultivate an ancient version of the Father of Paddy."
Kenbi Zhongzhi: "Even salted fish have dreams. As the chief instructor of five million salted fish, the streamer must be the most salted one.
Some salted fish are not serious, but some salted fish are very serious. "
Kumiko Lemon: "Actually, I've always had a doubt. Didn't the School of Mo and the Confucian school not get along? Why can Zhang Ping, Shao Guang, and the others receive high salaries and treatment in the Confucian school? I've watched the streaming for many years, but I've never seen them fight because of the difference in ideology. "
