In the northwest of Chang'an City, next to Weishui, a new large-scale building is gradually taking shape.

"Brother Eldest Sun, all the great Confucians you are in charge of have agreed to come to our Weishui Academy as a teacher, right?"

Zheng Hai and Changsun Chong walked together to make the final confirmation for the imminent opening of the two cooperative Weishui Academy.

If the development of Guanshishan Academy was in full swing and stimulated the two of them, then the Qujiang Academy jointly established by the Wei Du family was the direct fuse for the establishment of Weishui Academy.

Everyone's vision is not bad, and they naturally see the prospect of the construction of the academy.

Although they may lose money at the beginning, the Zheng family and the eldest grandson family, who have a big family, can still lose this money.

In these years, the academies, except for the Guanshishan Academy, mainly engaged in the teaching of the subjects related to the imperial examination, basically did not require too much experimental investment.

It's like a university in later generations, and each laboratory doesn't know how much money it burns every year.

If this is really done privately, the pressure is really high.

Of course, if the successful operation is successful, the successful students of the college can continue to donate, and that is another matter.

"Don't worry, I'm Aye personally out of the horse, and there is nothing unsuccessful."

Although the eldest grandson Wuji held a false position in the court, no one would underestimate him.

The influence of a minister in Chang'an City is often not entirely determined by what position he has on his head, but by how much influence he has on Li Shimin's decision-making.

Obviously, the eldest grandson Wuji is one of the few ministers who has a great influence on Li Shimin's decision-making.

In addition, Empress Changsun's status in the harem is as stable as Mount Tai, and other idlers will not go to get along with the eldest grandson's family.

"That's good, when the time comes, our Weishui Academy must come from behind, so that Guanshishan Academy and Qujiang Academy can see what the real heritage is."

Zheng Hai, as the eldest son of the Qinghe Cui family's long house and the future patriarch, is still very confident in his own strength.

"Speaking of Guanshishan Academy and Qujiang Academy, I heard an interesting story." Eldest Sun Chong suddenly laughed on his face.

"Oh? What makes you so happy, eldest grandson? ”

"Didn't Qujiang Academy invite Ouyang Xun over to be the head of the academy, naturally, Ouyang Tong, the son of Ouyang Shugen, naturally joined Qujiang Academy and became a student of the Academy."

"That's normal, isn't it?"

Zheng Hai didn't think there was anything funny about this.

"Yes, it's normal. However, this Ouyang Tong, on the day of the Qingming Festival, he entered the academy of Guanshishan Academy alone, and single-handedly challenged the students of the entire academy, and there was no student in Guanshishan Academy who could compare to him. Whether it is calligraphy or scriptures, Ouyang Tong is a complete victory, and he made Guanshishan Academy disgraced, and I heard that Xu Jingzong, who was angry at the end, dropped several teacups in a row. ”

Eldest Sun Chong's news is very well-informed, and Guanshishan Academy is the object of his attention, and he can naturally know about the major events that happen in it.

"Oh? And such things? ”

Zheng Hai was also happy when he heard it.

This Guanshishan Academy can now be said to be in full swing, and the number of teachers and students in the six academies has exceeded 5,000, making it the first academy of the Tang Dynasty.

As a newly established Weishui Academy, it is natural to hope to see the unlucky appearance of Guanshishan Academy.

"Yes, it is said that in the end, it was Li Kuan's disciple Di Renjie who broke into Qujiang Academy with the county lord of Yongping and her teachings, and fought with the students of Qujiang Academy's School of Scripture in a similar way, which can be regarded as saving some face."

"Di Renjie? As far as I know, he should be very young, not an official student of Guanshishan Academy, right? ”

Many people know about Li Kuan's acceptance of Di Renjie as a disciple, and Zheng Hai is no exception.

"yes, that's why I said that I barely saved some face. After all, Di Renjie has also been studying in various colleges of Guanshishan Academy recently, and then at such an age, he is on a par with Ouyang Tong, which can be regarded as very extraordinary. ”

"Isn't that Yongping County Lord just a little girl, what's the use of her going to Qujiang Academy?"

"Hey, Brother Zheng, how else to say that Di Renjie is a personal essence. Although this Yongping County Lord is a little girl, it is precisely because she is still a little girl and Li Kuan's concubine that no one in Qujiang Academy dares to get along with her. And the Yongping County Lord's edict Luo Bin Wang, it is said that he is a rare talent, known as a prodigy since he was a child, this time Di Renjie can fight with Ouyang Tong on a par, Luo Bin King should have made a lot of effort. ”

King Luo Bin in history was actually very unhappy.

Although he became famous at a young age, because he was too upright and had no background, he naturally couldn't mix in officialdom.

However, now that he has joined the Chu Palace, as the teachings of Xiao Mao, the situation has changed immediately.

If a person without a background speaks and acts too uprightly, society will teach him to be a man.

But with the background, it's different, this kind of behavior immediately brings out his high-spirited image, plus he is really a talented person, in recent times, the various poetry clubs in Chang'an City basically have his figure, a proper rising star of great talent.

"This Li Kuan, in addition to the means of accumulating money, I am also very convinced of this ability to recognize people. Whether it is Ma Zhou and Wang Xuance, or Xu Jingzong and Chu Suiliang, or that Shangguanyi and Dongfang Ping, they were all ordinary before, but now they are well-known. ”

Zheng Hai sighed a little depressedly.

"No matter how powerful Li Kuan's ability to recognize people is, after all, it is just the life of an idle prince. If you want me to say, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now in the Chongwen Pavilion, that is really full of talents, and several of our Weishui Academy's teachings are in the Chongwen Pavilion. ”

Although Changsun Chong also admired Li Kuan in his heart, he refused to give in to his mouth.

Zheng Hai: "Taking advantage of Li Kuan's absence in Chang'an City, our Weishui Academy has to brush up on its sense of existence, so that students all over the world will be proud to enter our Weishui Academy, and let Weishui Academy become the winner of the imperial court every spring." ”

Although in terms of arithmetic, Zheng Hai admits that Guanshishan Academy is a standout.

But in other areas, Zheng Hai is still very confident that he can defeat Guanshishan Academy.

After all, in the imperial examination of the imperial court, the most important thing is still the Ming Jing Department and the Jinshi Department, and the Ming Calculation Department is only an unpopular classification after all.

It's like the Olympics, and I win gold medals in track and field, swimming, soccer, etc., and the effect is much more impactful than your hockey or canoeing.

……

Guanshishan Academy, Xu Jingzong sat in his office a little depressed.

"Sightseeing, I think you can go to the Jinshi examination tomorrow, if you can go to high school, then it is more convenient for His Royal Highness the King of Chu to arrange another position for you."

The School of Economics is the weakest college of Guanshishan Academy, and the number of students who pass the imperial examination every year is less than a fraction of that of the college.

Originally, Xu Jingzong didn't care too much, because Li Kuan didn't attach much importance to the construction of the academy.

However, after Ouyang Tong of Qujiang Academy came to smash the field, he didn't think so.

I don't care about the construction of the madrasas, but I can't tolerate others despising me.

This Ouyang Tong is clearly the ace player that Qujiang Academy uses to impact next year's Jinshi Branch, if his academy still has no gains in the Ming Jing Department and the Jinshi Branch, it will not look so good-looking in comparison.

"Xu joins the army, and there is no problem in participating in the Spring Festival, but if you join the Guanshishan Academy, forget it, right?"

King Luo Bin is now the edict of the county lord of Yongping, if he turns around and becomes an ordinary student of the academy of Guanshishan Academy, will the people of the Chu Wangfu feel that the level of the county lord's edict is too low?

It would be a shame if such a good errand was lost because of this problem.

"Sightseeing, don't worry, I know that you are a little wronged as a student of the academy, I can directly hire you as the teacher of the academy on behalf of the academy, and this will not affect your participation in next year's scientific examination."

Xu Jingzong saw that King Luo Bing unsurprisingly refused to become a student of Guanshishan Academy, and immediately threw out the second plan.

This skill of negotiating with people, ten Luo Bin Kings are not as good as one Xu Jingzong.

"Xu joins the army, this ......"

At first, a request that is difficult for the other party to agree to is made, and when it is rejected, a relatively less difficult condition is immediately proposed.

At this time, the likelihood of rejection is greatly reduced.

Sure enough, Luo Bingwang simply hesitated for a few breaths and agreed.

"Xu joins the army, you actually look down on me Luo Bin Wang, then I naturally have no opinion. However, I may not necessarily come every day for the lectures of this scripture college, and this depends on the teaching arrangements of the county lord of Yongping. ”

Luo Bingwang didn't want to lose a big deal because of a small thing, so he naturally had to make his words clear in advance.

"Don't worry, I naturally know about this matter."

Xu Jingzong just wanted the fact that Luo Bingwang was a person from Guanshishan Academy, as for whether he came to teach or not, in fact, Xu Jingzong didn't care too much.

"Xu joins the army, although this Luo Bingwang is expected to be in high school, but if he is alone, it is estimated that it will be difficult to suppress Qujiang Academy. And the Weishui Academy is said to be officially established in a few days. ”

When Luo Bingwang left Xu Jingzong's office, Liu Jie expressed his opinion on the side.

"That being said, but the Ming Jing Department and the Jinshi Department are different from the Ming Arithmetic Department, and it is not an ordinary craftsman's child who can go to high school after a few years of hard work. In recent years, the Spring Boudoir Ming Jingke and Jinshi are basically the children of famous families in various places, and it is almost impossible to find any of them born as the children of craftsmen. ”

Xu Jingzong is very good at studying the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty.

No way, in a sense, this admission rate can be regarded as Xu Jingzong's performance.

How can you not do some research?

"In fact, if the prince is willing to invite Fang Xiang to come to Guanshishan Academy to teach, then there will definitely be a lot more students who are willing to join the academy. No matter how bad it is, I will invite a few ministers from the DPRK and China to come to the madrasa as teachers, so that it will be more attractive to scholars. ”

Liu Jie's words are very straightforward.

As a scholar, whether you want to join Guanshishan Academy or Qujiang Academy, or Weishui Academy in the future, the most important thing to care about is which academy you can get greater benefits from, right?

Under the current imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty, if his teaching is the minister of the DPRK and China, then the possibility of high school will definitely increase.

Xu Jingzong listened to Liu Jie's words, and screened several ministers in the court in his mind, "Dai Guan, the head of the household department, has just sent a letter to Shi, you can visit Dai Mansion with me in a while, and see if you can invite him to teach in the academy." ”

Although Dai Guan's fame in Confucianism is not as good as that of Ouyang Xun and the deceased Yu Shinan, as a former household secretary, his influence is still relatively large.

At least for many students who come to Chang'an from other places, it is still very attractive.

The quality of a college is largely determined by the quality of its faculty.

This truth is not much different even in the future generations.

A rural primary school in a small eighteenth-tier county, even if Ma's father donates 10 million to you, the magnificence of the school you build can't be compared with these random district-level key primary schools in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Teachers in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, good primary schools have at least 211 graduates to have the opportunity to enter, and it is normal to even raise the threshold to 985.

"If Dai Shangshu is willing to come to the academy, it should greatly improve the attractiveness of the academy. In addition, Yan Shigu, the secretary and supervisor, and Lang Cen, the secretary and supervisor, are also well-known in Beijing, and if they can have the opportunity to invite them to teach at the academy, even if it is just a guest teaching like Fang Erlang, the effect will not be bad. ”

Liu Jie is now thinking about how to assist Xu Jingzong in managing Guanshishan Academy well, and he knows a lot about these things.

This is like many university professors in later generations, some people like to focus on administration after a little academic achievement, hoping to make a difference in this area.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

Guanshishan Academy really needs a group of winners of scientific expeditions like Liu Jie to enrich the management staff.

"Yan Shigu is relatively close to His Royal Highness the Prince, and invited him to come to the academy to teach, I have to confirm this matter with the prince, so as not to spoil the prince's major affairs."

Xu Jingzong was very clear about the situation in Chang'an City, and he was also very clear about his prince's attitude in the dispute between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Wei.

So when he encounters some things, he looks at the problem not only from the thing itself, but from Li Kuan's point of view.

This is also the key to the success and failure of many professionals.

It is not enough to do things and only look at problems from your own point of view.

You have to think about what the leader needs, how the leader thinks about it, and then you act.

To put it bluntly, what leaders like to see, it only makes sense when you do it.

Many young people have a hard time accepting this idea at first, but after a few years, everyone begins to accept it.

"That's right, student Meng Lang. However, I heard that the Weishui Academy has already contacted many ministers of the DPRK and China, asking them to take the time to go to the academy to teach at that time. This academy in Chang'an City will soon have a three-legged situation. ”

Although Guanshishan Academy has a first-mover advantage, Qujiang Academy and Weishui Academy must also be able to rise rapidly.

Both Xu Jingzong and Liu Jie have a clear understanding of this.
