Today is the Midyear Festival, in the hometown of Xiaofu, this is the second largest festival of the year after the New Year, to worship the ancestors, go to the grave to burn incense.

It's a pity that Mrs. Xiaochuan is on a business trip, and the child is at the parents in his hometown, only the boat is cold and facing the wet light rain outside......

Kneel and beg for genuine support, and thank you for your boat!

Xu Guangqi can be said to be a milestone figure in the long history of China.

"The Original Geometry" and "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", his technicality, his literary nature, and his pioneering nature, have long been determined in later generations, and a consensus has been formed.

It's just that few people know that Xu Guangqi is also proud of the spring breeze in the officialdom, and he is from a serious 'professional class'.

Even, in order to envelop him, Gonggong Wei once opened the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and a high-ranking official of the assistant Zhan Shifu.

It's a pity that Xu Guangqi didn't look down on Lao Wei and didn't take over this high-ranking official, so he was ordered to return to his hometown Shanghai and 'live idle'.

Zhuge Liang said in the "Teacher Table": "The ministers are clothed, ploughing in Nanyang, living in troubled times, and not seeking to reach the princes' ......"

But to a large extent, this is nothing more than the reserve of the literati.

Since ancient times, there have been sages who said: "Learn to become a literary and martial artist, and sell it to the emperor's family." ”

As a reader, full of the books of sages, more than ten years, or even decades, who doesn't want to glorify the ancestors and glorify the lintel, 'talk and laugh with Confucianism, and there is no white ding'?

Unfortunately, perhaps it is a joke played by history on mankind.

Those who are engaged in technology, art, and thought, many powerful and great sages, and even a group of people who can be called 'prophets', did not get the treatment they deserved during their lifetimes, but were destitute and hungry.

Even, many people, for the sake of pursuit, for the ideal, until they paid the price of their lives.

But even then, it is often decades or even centuries before it is rehabilitated.

For example, the poet immortal Li Bai and the poet saint Du Fu, although the officialdom was frustrated, but under the enlightened atmosphere of Li Tang, their talents and their achievements in literature were recognized, and they could be regarded as 'lost east, harvested mulberry'.

But like the 'heliocentric theory', Van Gogh, and the famous 'Dream of Red Mansions', their situation is a sigh.

And Xu Guangqi is in this, 'playing very slippery'.

To put it more bluntly, he is a man who understands.

When the time is right, he crisscrosses the sea and shows his talents and ambitions, even if it is difficult and difficult to achieve, he is still qualified and has the capital to try.

And when the situation was chaotic, he was able to avoid the cusp of the storm, return home, study knowledge, and write books.

In the Zhao and Song dynasties, there was also a very slippery big man, who once said: "If you live in a temple, you will worry about its people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about its king." ”

Of course, the most profound motto of the traditional literati class in China is still the sentence of Mencius, "If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world!" ”

On the way to Shanghai, Li Yuanqing was also thinking carefully.

Due to the difference in cultural level, Li Yuanqing does not know enough about Xu Guangqi's life, or thoughts, or it is difficult to understand.

However, with Li Yuanqing's energy at this time, figuring out Xu Guangqi's 'resume' was just a casual one.

According to the intelligence of Chen Chuang's 'No. 3 warehouse'.

Xu Guangqi was born in a small merchant family in Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, studied since childhood, was a talent at the age of 20, and was promoted at the age of 36.

To a large extent, Xu Guangqi's life is not smooth sailing, and the spring breeze is proud.

This may be the key to his emphasis on agronomy, supplemented by mathematics, the most practical of subjects.

Because he was not happy in the first half of his life and went through hardships, he will be 'more down-to-earth'.

But looking at Xu Guangqi's shrewd avoidance, and the 'bayonet is red' between the eunuchs and Donglin at this time, this shows that this person is very 'greasy', has a very clever vision, and is a real person who understands.

In addition, Xu Guangqi helped Li Yuanqing a lot about planting sweet potatoes on Changsheng Island before, and Li Yuanqing was also very much looking forward to having a good chat with this legendary 'pavilion elder'.

Hurried all the way, and when I arrived at the county seat of Shanghai, it was already evening.

Some soldiers had already arrived in advance and made a report to the Xu Mansion, and Xu Guangqi also gave Li Yuanqing a lot of face, and there were servants waiting at the four city gates to welcome Li Yuanqing and his party.

When he was led to the door of Xu's Mansion by his servants, the middle door of Xu's Mansion was wide open, and Xu Guangqi was wearing a green cloth robe, standing at the door with a smile, personally greeting Li Yuanqing and his party.

The middle door of the big mansion, in the ancient Chinese regulations, is generally opened when a heavyweight VIP comes to the door.

If the emperor is coming in person, or if it is a very, very important guest, the host usually has to bring his wife, concubine and children and open the middle door to greet him.

At this time, although Xu Guangqi did not bring his wife and concubines, he was able to open the middle door, and he personally greeted Li Yuanqing here, especially at this time, it was still raining, which can be said to have given Li Yuanqing enough face!

How dare Li Yuanqing slack off? Just turned over and dismounted quickly, ignoring the fine mud spots all over the ground, and knelt down respectfully in front of Xu Guangqi: "Li Yuanqing, the chief soldier of Changsheng Island in southern Liaoning, has seen the elder of the pavilion!" ”

Xu Guangqi is also in his early sixties this year, but he is very well maintained, his complexion is ruddy, there is no trace of gray hair between his eyebrows, eyes and hair, and his spirit is also quite strong, laughing and laughing: "Li Junmen is really polite!" The old man has been home for a few years, but he can't deserve such a big gift from Li Yuanqing! Hurry up, please! ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly helped Li Yuanqing up with his own hands.

Although it is only symbolic, Li Yuanqing can clearly feel that Xu Guangqi's big hands are very powerful, and there seems to be some roughness.

It can be seen that this old man is not only talking on paper, but may also practice it from time to time.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled: "Elder Xie Ge." It's just that Yuanqing came in a hurry on this trip, and he didn't know the preferences of the elder pavilion, so he only brought some local products from Liaodi. ”

As he spoke, Li Yuanqing hurriedly and respectfully handed the gift list to Xu Guangqi's hand.

Xu Guangqi glanced at it, and his face couldn't help but change.

Li Yuanqing is talking about lightness, but who is he? All these fur groceries on the gift list are more than three thousand taels, not to mention, there are one hundred taels of gold and one thousand taels of silver.

"Li Junmen, this, how can this be done? No merit, the old man can't ask you for such a generous gift! Xu Guangqi was busy refusing.

Li Yuanqing was already prepared, and said with a smile: "Elder Ge, you have helped a lot in the matter of sweet potatoes before!" Last year, the sweet potatoes of Changsheng Island and southern Liaoning both had a bumper harvest! is just a small gift, just a heart of Yuanqing, and please accept it with a smile. Otherwise, Yuan Qing wouldn't dare to enter your door! ”

When Xu Guangqi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Li Junmen, the old man has heard of your name for a long time!" I can see it today, and it is indeed worthy of its name, and it is worthy of its name! It's raining and cold outside, let's go inside, drink a cup of hot tea, warm and warm. ”

Xu Guangqi personally invited Li Yuanqing into the door.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly returned the salute respectfully, and then walked into the main gate of Xu's Mansion with Xu Guangqi.

When he came to the main guest hall, a little maid served fragrant tea, and Xu Guangqi personally instructed his youngest son to stare at dinner, and then he talked with Li Yuanqing with a smile.

As Xu Guangqi said, he has admired Li Yuanqing's name for a long time, but why hasn't Li Yuanqing admired his name for a long time?

As the saying goes, 'there are fewer than a thousand glasses of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation for half a sentence'.

Xu Guangqi was very curious about Li Yuanqing's performance in Liaodi, and Li Yuanqing also admired Xu Guangqi's knowledge, and soon, the two were already chatting very eagerly.

But Li Yuanqing noticed that in front of Xu Guangqi's neck, there was a cross larger than the baby's palm.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be a little surprised for a while, this damn thing, is this old man still a Christian?

At this time, the two of them had already drunk a few cups of tea, and Xu Guangqi said with a smile: "Yuanqing, you fought very well in this battle of Ningyuan!" Played my Ming majesty! ”

"Huh?"

Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, but he came back to his senses for a moment, and said with a smile: "Ge Lao, you are really a false praise." Ning Yuan's battle is still according to the envoy Yuan, the command is well-directed, the Qiankun is in control, and the humble position is just carried out, but he doesn't dare to take credit! ”

Xu Guangqi couldn't help laughing, after almost half an hour of contact, how could he, the 'old oilman', not touch Li Yuanqing's character?

This is quite calm, or rather, this is a calm and outrageous young man!

It's no wonder that he can make such a great contribution in Liaodi!

Daming has such generals guarding Liaodi, perhaps, it won't take a few years to level the Tartars!

"Yuanqing, you don't have to be humble, right and wrong, the court will have its own public opinion. It's yours, and no one can take it away! ”

Li Yuanqing didn't expect Xu Guangqi to say such a 'domineering' thing, and after a while, he also reacted, and asked with a smile: "Pavilion Elder, Yuanqing has been on the ship all these days, is it possible, Jingshi, the news of this matter has already come out?" ”

Daming's Di newspaper system has been well developed.

Although Xu Guangqi was in the opposition at this time, he also had the right to receive the Di newspaper, although the speed was much slower.

However, Shanghai is close to Nanjing, one of the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty, according to Xu Guangqi's influence, coupled with the financial resources of the Xu family at this time, Xu Guangqi wants to know the news of the Beijing Division, but it is really not much slower than those bigwigs in Nanjing.

At this time, hearing Li Yuanqing ask about this matter, Xu Guangqi couldn't help but smile: "Yuanqing, you have to believe that Lang Lang Qiankun has its own justice!" Even if there are difficulties and darkness, it is only temporary. Dark clouds, can you still hide the sun? ”

Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and only came back to his senses after a while, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's no wonder that Xu Guangqi can protect himself, this old man is shrewd." ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled: "Thank you Pavilion Elder for solving your doubts." Yuanqing benefited a lot! ”

Xu Guangqi laughed: "Yuanqing, you are Liaodi, no, you are the most brave and strategic young general in the new generation of the Ming Dynasty, and the old man is also very optimistic about you!" However, you also need to know that in life, how can everything be as you want? In good times, we must remember to keep our original intention at all times, and in adversity, we must remember what is the end of the story! ”

Li Yuanqing bowed respectfully, "The words of the elder of the pavilion are remembered in my heart. ”

Xu Guangqi smiled and nodded.

With his experience, how can he not see that although Li Yuanqing is young, he does not have the slightest impetuousness and respectfulness in front of his teachings at this time.

This young man is really a talent!

At this time, Xu Guangqi's youngest son hurriedly walked into the hall: "Father, Li Junmen, the banquet is ready." ”

Xu Guangqi laughed: "Yuanqing, it's your first time in Shanghai, right?" Let's go, go taste this Jiangnan cuisine, let's talk while eating! ”
