I Own a Garden with One Hundred Herbs

  Chapter 132 Conversations Influencing the Future

  Baicaoshi followed the thin old man into Kunming Academy without any interception.

   "Senior, I still don't know your name?"

  The black and thin old man pinched his sparse beard, "My surname is Ji, and my old friends all called me Iron Rooster."

Baicaoshi would not dare to call him an iron rooster, but would also boast knowingly, "Uncle Ji, you are really humorous. I like you who are not rigid and funny. We have a saying , It’s called good-looking skins are the same, but interesting souls are unique.”

   These words obviously hit old man Ji's heart, and he smiled more and more heartily.

  Kunming Academy occupies a very large area, which means that there is a large area of ​​open space where all the grass grows.

  Baicaoshi looked at these places, and her heart was bleeding silently. In the modern day she lives in, the surroundings of schools, especially institutions of higher learning, are surrounded by every inch of land.

  With the existing productivity, it is impractical to develop commercial areas and high-end residences on a large scale, but how much value can be created if herbs are planted here?

   Probably because her expression was too exaggerated, old man Ji noticed it, "Girl, do you have a toothache?"

   It's not a toothache, it's sour.

  Can she say that she wants the land of the academy?

   "Uncle Ji, I see that there are many students from Yanjing who come to study in the academy, as well as those from other countries. This academy is really famous, and the dean is full of peaches and plums!"

  Old man Ji sighed, "Hey, they are all related households with connections."

   Maladministration is like paralysis. It is never formed in a day, nor can it be changed in a day.

   Baicaoshi looked at old man Ji's micro-expression. Although he looked like a chicken thief and gluttonous, Baicaoshi felt that it was just a cover-up.

She tentatively said: "I heard that when the academy was built, I hoped to give more opportunities to the poor. But I heard from my husband that the number of students enrolled in the academy is limited after all, and the operation of the academy requires a lot of expenses. Just count on..." Baicao Poetry Zhitian said, "It's not acceptable at the top. For some relationships that can't be pushed away, we should gather more and make offerings to the academy."

  It is very rare for a young girl to say such a thing, even though she is just relaying other people's views. Old man Ji asked: "Your husband is quite insightful. So does he have any good suggestions?"

  Good question, Baicaoshi is waiting here.

   "My husband-in-law is also talking nonsense. If you say something wrong, senior, don't laugh at me." She lowered her posture first.

   "It's okay to just say it."

Baicaoshi coughed and smiled brightly, "I told you, what is the meaning of the academy? It is to cultivate talents for the country. The reason why Dayan is better than other countries is that a hundred flowers bloom and talents come forth in large numbers. So what kind of talents should the academy cultivate? "

  Old man Ji was eager to listen, but Baicaoshi stopped talking.

"continue."

   "Uncle Ji, I'm thirsty."

   "Then, go to the cafeteria."

  Herbal Poetry can't ask for it.

   Along the way, the academy students all looked surprised when they saw the little girl next to old man Ji.

   "Uncle Ji, are you a celebrity in the academy? Why do everyone look at you?"

  Old man Ji felt that she was talking too much, but he had to answer, and wanted to hear her talk later. "They don't look at me, they look at you. The girl looks handsome! A fair lady, a gentleman is so good."

  Baicaoshi immediately blushed.

  Arrived inside the cafeteria, old man Ji asked her to find a quiet place to wait, and went to brush her face by herself. Oh no, I begged for water.

  After drinking the water, Baicaoshi said: "I told you that the academy should become such a place, where research and knowledge are combined with agricultural and mulberry production, and practice and creation are combined."

  Wait, old man Ji waved his hand, he heard a few key words, "Research is necessary, you let those scholars and students engage in production?"

Baicaoshi quickly explained, "It's not me, it's not me, I'm my husband. Uncle Ji, do you also believe that set of 'everything is inferior, only reading is high'? My husband and I said that agriculture and mulberry are the foundation of the country, and the people are full of food. The country is peaceful only when there is food. If you let those nerds who don’t work hard and don’t know the five grains become officials, can they be good? Can they be sympathetic to the people? Therefore, you should let them engage in production while they are studying. Experience the hard work of farming. Planting five grains and hundreds of herbs will not only increase the income of the academy, but also increase profits for yourself. If you can do a good job, you may earn money from the school. When the students have the ability, even the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Agriculture will also enter Well, they are all good hands. Otherwise, it would be a waste of such a big academy."

   Going around, Baicao Poetry finally brought the topic to Baicao and the site of the academy. It is not easy to save the country with curves.

  Old man Ji listened with great relish, but he couldn't tell that the little girl was so eloquent and she spoke clearly and logically. "Is there any more?"

"The current number of students is still small, so we need to expand the number of students. My husband-in-law also mentioned a word called Jinyue Yuanlai. Let's spread the reputation of the academy, so we don't have to worry about the Six Kingdoms not obediently sending top-notch talents here. How to retain them? They? The academy has its own farming and mulberry base, generates its own income, and offers them generous support conditions, will they still be willing to return to China?"

"Some details and benefits must also be done well. For example, I don't think the academy has an infirmary. In case everyone is injured during riding and archery classes, they can't go all the way to the city to find a medical center; let me give another example, I I'm thirsty, I have to walk so far, so I come to the cafeteria for a drink of water, if there is a tea room in the academy, everyone can drink water nearby, and we can also have a small gathering in spare time, so as to cultivate the relationship between teachers and students..."

  Baicao Shihua rushed to the point, and brought it out of the clinic again, hoping that the old man could understand.

  Old man Ji pondered for a long time, and asked: "Girl, are you thinking about what you said, or did your husband say it?"

"My husband." Baicaoshi immediately blamed him, and did not leave a name for his good deeds, "My husband is a genius, anyway, I think so. This time he takes the academy exam, I think he will be admitted. Uncle, come here The time will tell."

  Two people came out of the cafeteria. At this time, there were several students in front of them, carrying an injured one. "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and enter the city."

  Old man Ji immediately remembered that what Baicao Poetry said just now was the problem of the academy not having an infirmary. He stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

  A student saluted respectfully, "Return to Master, Li Yan went to the imperial department today, and met a stubborn yellow puma and fell down."

   Coincidentally, Baicaoshi looked around and found wild forsythia and notoginseng, these two are good medicines for removing blood stasis and stopping bleeding. She picked some and crushed them with her hands, "Let me see."

  After a quarter of an hour, Baicaoshi grafted the bone to the student, applied it externally, and explained the prescription for oral administration.

   Those scholars were very grateful to her.

  Old man Ji looked at Baicao Poetry again, his eyes changed. "Girl, are you still a doctor?"

   clapped her hands, Baicaoshi wiped off her sweat, "Well, my master's medical skills are very good."

   "Then this infirmary..."

  He didn't finish his sentence, but was mercilessly interrupted by Baicaoshi, "Uncle Ji, what time is it now? I can't find me after the husband's exam, so worry to death."
