Datang Longya

Chapter 757 Perfect Stagger
Li Jing's intention is obvious, that is to make himself Zhang Zhongjian's home.

Going to sea to create a kingdom in an unknown place, such a thing definitely has a chance of failure.

After abandoning Fuyu, Zhang Zhongjian no longer has his own base, just like a rootless apple.If he can't carve out a homeland in the unknown, there's really nowhere to go.

Although you can survive on any island, but humans are social creatures, and it is impossible to continue like this forever.

Zhang Zhongjian nodded with red eyes: "Don't worry, Pharmacist, if nothing can be done, I will come back!"

To be honest, the scene where the two big men parted with each other with red eyes was inexplicably a bit broken.

Leng Feng, who was already on the boat, couldn't help shouting: "Let's go now, if there is any delay, we won't have enough time to hurry."

Hearing Leng Feng's words, Zhang Zhongjian cupped his fists at Li Jing, then turned back to the boat.

Because Zhang Zhongjian recruited many people, his fleet has expanded to a hundred ships.

The assets brought back from Fuyu, except for some supplies left to buy in Lingnan, were all used to buy seagoing ships.

After all, during the long voyage, it is impossible to guarantee that all ships are safe and sound.Of course, such sea ships do not include those iron-clad ships.

Although they are not comparable to ironclad ships, general reef storms cannot threaten it, and sailing to the destination is not a problem.

The Chengke and Chengtai spewed black smoke, took the lead and drove forward.

The huge fleet left the shore of Dengzhou and headed south along the coastline.

If there is no special demand, the north-south routes are generally along the coastline.After all, the nautical charts are not perfect, and it's not that the sea merchants can't afford the risk of capsizing.

After watching the fleet out of sight, Zhou Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.

After sending away Duke Hu and Zhang Zhongjian, the plague god, he has nothing to worry about.

In two days' time, the relief food brought by Chang'an will arrive. This food can ensure that the people in the west of Dengzhou can eat until autumn.

And in autumn, there should be some output of the second planted crops.

The new governor of Dengzhou has arrived in Dengzhou. To Zhou Jiao's surprise, this new governor is just a child in his twenties.

Although he graduated from the Academy of Arts, but at this age, it is really a bit of a child's play.

Uncertain, Zhou Jiao returned to the governor's mansion, and was going to try to communicate with the new governor one last time before leaving.
"That's it. For the time being, don't set up any porridge stations, but follow the rule of distributing as much food as there are people in a household, and let them decide how and how much to eat."

Seeing that the new governor had already started handling government affairs, Zhou Jiao waited outside the door.

After a while, after the new governor finished handling the government affairs, he noticed Zhou Jiao at the door.

"Master Zhou, the students are dealing with food distribution matters, I didn't expect to neglect you, please come in quickly."

Only then did Zhou Jiao walk in.

It wasn't until he was seated that the new governor clasped his fists and introduced: "Master Zhou was busy escorting the Duke of the country during the handover, and the student hasn't introduced himself yet. The student is Zheng Cheng, whose name is Qingsong."

Zhou Jiao returned a salute.

He hasn't been promoted yet, so the two of them just need to treat each other as equals when communicating.

"Zheng? Are you from the Zheng family in Xingyang?"

After holding back for a while, Zhou Jiao actually asked his question.

It is reasonable to say that an important official position like the governor should be an old official. Whether it is relegation or promotion, an old official always has sufficient experience and is competent for the responsibility of a state.

How can He De, a student who has just graduated, be qualified for such an important official position?Apart from being born with five surnames, Zhou Jiao couldn't think of any other possibility.

Zheng Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Master Zhou, you are wrong, the boy is not from the Zheng family, but just a child from an ordinary household around Chang'an."

"Children from ordinary households?"

Zhou Jiao almost jumped up, a poor student?

Zheng Cheng nodded: "If it wasn't for the time when the Academy of Arts recruited students, the students just joined, and now they wouldn't have the chance to become the governor of a state!"

Zhou Jiao was also a student from a poor family who worked his way up step by step through his qualifications. Now he has a good impression of Zheng Cheng, who is also a student from a poor family.

"Qingsong! The old man said something you don't want to hear. The governor of Yizhou is not a petty official. Do you think you can do it?"

Zheng Cheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Master Zhou said that the qualifications of the students are not enough, the students know that the qualifications are indeed not enough, but His Majesty insists on appointing the students, and the students are helpless!"

Zhou Jiao squinted his eyes. When Zheng Cheng said this, there was no sense of pride at all, but genuine distress.It can be seen from this that this guy did not show off his holy family, it was really pure distress.

Academy of Arts?
Zhou Jiao knew that this place was established by Lord Huguo and some great Confucians. That place not only imparted the wonderful knowledge of Duke Huguo, but also taught various ancient books by a group of great moral scholars.

The Academy of Arts said it was the number one institution of learning in the Tang Dynasty, but no one dared to recognize it indiscriminately.

Although this place has a strong teaching force, it is not enough to gild a graduate to the point of directly serving as the governor!

"Why does His Majesty make you the governor?"

Zhou Jiao couldn't help but ask.

If it's not from the source, then it's because the student has some special qualifications.

He has been to Chang'an, and has also been summoned by His Majesty the Emperor. Although they have been together for a long time, in Zhou Jiao's opinion, His Majesty is a rare hero.

His arrangement makes sense.

Zheng Cheng picked up a book-like notebook from the table, and handed it to Zhou Jiao: "This is what the students wrote when they were studying in the Geotechnical Branch of the Academy of Arts. You can read it."

"This is? A paper?"

Zhou Jiao took the book, and was attracted by the word "paper" on the cover.

Zheng Cheng smiled wryly: "This is something arranged by Duke Huguo. He said that if you want to study in the liberal arts academy and want to graduate completely, you must write your own thesis. This thesis can be a few hundred words, or it can be Longer; you can talk about government affairs, and you can also write some summaries of knowledge.

But no matter what it is, always write something that is useful to people.The student was very interested in saline-alkali land at that time, so he chose to write this thesis. "

Zhou Jiao opened the first page of the book, only to see the title: On how to suppress saline-alkali land and increase crop yields.

The content of the thesis was very weird, it was written horizontally from left to right, although it looked uncomfortable, Zhou Jiao still chose to read it.

At the same time, outside the Governor's Mansion, a carriage surrounded by guards stopped, and Li Chengqian, Di Renjie and Wu Mei jumped out of the carriage.

So far, it has been less than half an hour since Leng Feng left Dengzhou.
