After living here for two days, Li Shanchang said to Lu Ning.

"Living here in the past two days, thank you Brother Zi'an for your hospitality, we have also learned a lot here, Zhongshu Province is busy, we should also go back early."

Liu Bowen also said with a smile.

"That's right, although the time is still very short, but Brother Yu Zi'an can be said to be a friend of the New Year, if you enter Beijing in the future, don't forget to go to Zhongshu Province to see us."

Although these two old men are a little pedantic, they are also cute, Lu Ning said to them with a smile.

"Since it is a busy official business, I will not keep you any longer, as long as you enter Beijing in the future, you will definitely go to Zhongshu Province to visit, when you leave, I still have a gift for you, or I hope that the two of you will not take this thing lightly."

Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen glanced at each other again, and they knew in their hearts that the gifts that Lu Ning could take out must not be idle things.

Therefore, Li Shanchang first spoke.

"Brother said with a smile, you are so talented, if there is any gift for us, it can also be used as an heirloom, how can we despise it?"

Unexpectedly, Li Shanchang's compliment, Lu Ning unceremoniously accepted all the orders, and he replied directly.

"If it is said that it can be a heirloom is no problem, you are all from Zhongshu Province, you must be able to use it, I won't sell it, this is just a book, but it is better than a priceless treasure."

After finishing speaking, he took out the small box and handed it to Li Shanchang, and then said.

"This book is written by me from the exhaustion of my life experience, and it involves all the content about agriculture, as long as all the questions related to agriculture can be found in this book, I named it the Complete Book of Agricultural Administration."

Li Shanchang looked at this book casually, and listened to Lu Ning's introduction, feeling that what he was holding in his hand was really a priceless treasure, for fear of damage.

He solemnly thanked Lu Ning again, and then embarked on the journey back to Beijing with Liu Bowen.

After returning to Beijing, Zhu Yuanzhang of course summoned them as soon as possible, and then asked with a smile.

"Two Aiqing, when I asked you to go to Changning County, you were quite reluctant, are there any gains from this trip? Let's talk about it. ”

In terms of official positions, Li Shanchang is naturally above Liu Bowen, so he said first.

"The minister was too shallow before, then Lu Zi'an is really a rare talent in the world, if he can have more experience, it is reasonable to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister."

Liu Bowen also nodded yes to this assertion, and also echoed it.

"What the elder brother said is actually exactly what the minister thinks, in fact, heroes have been young since ancient times, if they really have practical talents, they don't necessarily have to be old, this Lu Ning is already stronger than too many people."

Immediately afterwards, the two told Zhu Yuanzhang everything that happened after they went to Changning County.

Then, Li Shanchang also specifically mentioned Yangming Xinxue, and he praised this knowledge in favor of opening up a world-shattering family.

It can even be said that if there is a chance in the future, this knowledge can even replace the Four Books and Five Classics, and directly use it as the subject of the imperial examination, Lu Ning is several times stronger than the contemporary Confucians.

Listening to their praise, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally happy in his heart, after all, Lu Ning was his son and nephew.

But the superficial modesty still has to come, he said to the two with a smile.

"Okay, don't boast anymore, this kid can't stand the praise, and if he praises again, he will float to the sky, no matter how you say it, he is just a twenty-year-old hairy boy, so that what you say is about to become a natural saint."

Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen secretly thought in their hearts, if they really calculated according to the standard of a saint, they were afraid that Lu Ning would also be qualified.

But no matter how you say it in front of you, you can't exaggerate the light of this Lu Zi'an too much, otherwise it will seem that Your Majesty has no face.

In any case, Lu Ning's contribution is indelible, Li Shanchang directly took out the book of agricultural politics and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, in fact, Lu Ning's ability is more than that, he also gave a book written by himself before the ministers returned to Beijing, called the Complete Book of Agricultural Administration."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the book and took a general look, and he already knew the value of the book, and couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that Zi'an has grown a lot, and he can even write books and speak, we should reward him for his fame."

Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang naturally had no opinion on this proposal, and they wanted to do their best to promote it, after all, they already admired Lu Ning's talent very much.

Li Shanchang spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lu Ning is now a viscount, and he is acting as the commander of Changning County, this is the grace given to him by the imperial court, but after all, he has no academic fame, if His Majesty wants to reward him, why not reward him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded hurriedly, he already had such an idea, since Li Shanchang, the prime minister of Zhongshu Province, said so, he naturally said it.

"Since Aiqing said so, we also have this idea, let's let the Zhongshu Province draw up the decree, Lu Ningjin has made a meritorious contribution to the whole book of agricultural administration, and he has been given the title of editor of the Hanlin Academy."

Since Zhu Yuanzhang has already spoken, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen are naturally happy to see it, and hurry down to draft the purpose.

In fact, the editor of the Hanlin Academy is only a seven-rank official, which is not a very high position, and Lu Ning's editor is just a title.

To put it bluntly, on top of his viscount's anger, plus a seventh-grade official's Yulu, it is estimated that it is dozens of taels of silver more a year.

But the significance is very great, because although the editor of the Hanlin Academy is a seven-rank official, he is called the storage minister.

In the Ming Dynasty, there has always been a saying that non-Jinshi will not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet.

In other words, if you can enter the Hanlin Academy, you can be the prime minister if you mix well in the future, and you can generally be a scholar and a squire.
