Chapter 340: Master!
"Master, Xuan'er is so old, and he has his own ideas, we as elders should support him!"
Mrs. Li's attitude changed first, and it became a front with Li Zexuan, in the end, she still felt sorry for her son!
"In that case, have you calculated how much it costs to build a academy?"
To put it mildly, Daddy Li finally accepted Li Zexuan's plan to run a college, and at this time, Li Jingmo finally remembered that when he first entered the house, Li Zexuan was about to borrow money, so he asked questions.
"Dad, the child estimates that the entire academy will be completed, and it will take about 200,000 yuan, but it will definitely not be enough to complete it in the early stage, and the child plans to invest 80,000 yuan first, and build the venue for students' future study, accommodation, reading and activities!"
On the way back from the palace, Li Zexuan had already roughly estimated the amount of money needed to build an ideal academy in his mind, so he said.
"Poof!"
Fortunately, Li Jingmo was sitting, otherwise he would have to kneel when he heard this number.
"How much? 200,000? Xuan'er, are you going to build a academy or a palace? ”
Li Jingmo was startled, and his voice also raised an octave, and exclaimed.
In his opinion, aren't those academies outside just a courtyard, a few rooms? If you can build one with a few hundred runs, how can you need 200,000 runs? In this era of low prices, even if the emperor builds a palace, it will cost less than 200,000 yuan!
He didn't know that Li Zexuan planned to build a academy according to the scale of a modern university this time, if he looked at it this way, he really didn't say much about 200,000 yuan. Some people may think that 200,000 guan can't build such a large-scale academy, after all, the cost of many modern universities is tens of billions, but this must take into account the price problem in the early Tang Dynasty.
"Dad, this academy is not a trivial fight, the child is planning to build an academy on a par with Guozijian, and in the future, this academy will cultivate hundreds or even thousands of outstanding talents for the Tang Dynasty."
Li Zexuan explained softly.
When Li Jingmo heard this grand plan, he couldn't close his mouth in surprise: "This... Such a large academy? ”
Li Zexuan smiled softly and continued:
"Dad, although the child has been knighted, our family is still nothing compared to those real wealthy families, the child has no ambitions, and he has never thought that he can bully whoever the supreme minister wants, the child just wants to be stronger, so that others dare not bully our family."
"And this academy, if it is completed, with the children's novel school-running concept and the knowledge that the master imparts to the children, this academy will become the most solid backing and the most solid foundation for our family in the future, and the entire Chang'an, and even the entire Tang Dynasty will have a place for our Li family!"
"The entire Chang'an, and even the entire Datang will have a place for our Li family!"
Li Zexuan's last sentence, shocked Li Jingmo's breath was short, and it kept echoing in his mind.
After a while, Li Jingmo got up, patted Li Zexuan's shoulder, and said with emotion: "Xuan'er, you have really grown up!" You don't need to worry about your dad and your mother anymore! As a father, you can now rest assured that this home will be handed over to you, and your father will be at home to support the elderly in the future! ”
Li Zexuan hurriedly said: "Dad, you are still in the prime of life, how can you say such things?" Besides, didn't you say before, you will hand over the family business to me in two years? ”
Li Jingmo waved his hand, didn't eat this set, and said:
"My father's mind has been decided, Xuan'er, you don't have to persuade anymore! In terms of vision, courage, and management ability, my father can't compare to you now! Only you can bring our family to a higher position! After becoming a father, I will help you settle accounts at home! ”
Then he looked at Mrs. Li again and said, "There will be more time to accompany Mrs. in the future!" ”
"Dad~! ...........”
"Xuan'er, don't persuade you anymore, your mother and your father both believe in you! Believe me will break out of a wider sky! ”
Mrs. Li smiled lovingly.
"That's good! The child has grown up, and it is time to take on this responsibility! In the future, my father and mother will rest more, eat and drink well, have fun, and the children will not ask for anything else, just ask you to be happy every day, and then live a long life, and our family will become the happiest in Datang in the future! ”
Li Zexuan suddenly caught a glimpse of a few strands of white hair on his father's temples, and his heart was suddenly touched, maybe he should have stood up a long time ago!
"Good, good! Mother and your father are still waiting to hold their grandson! You and the rain should be as soon as possible! ”
When Mrs. Li heard this, she said with a smile.
Li Zexuan sweated violently: "Mother, I haven't married yet~"
"Hehe, it's almost soon~~"
Mrs. Li thought that her son would get married in a few days, and the smile on her face couldn't be contained.
"Ahem, Xuan'er, the family spent a lot of money to buy chicken seedlings for the villagers, and then Xuan'er, you got the wine shop, the Wonder Pavilion and the Wonder Culture, these are all daily money, and the income is very high, and now the cash that the family can get out of is about 120,000 yuan, which is enough for Xuan'er to use!"
Li Jingmo unloaded the burden, his face was full of red light, as if he was several years younger, and he briefly told Li Zexuan about the current financial situation of his family.
"Well, thank you, Dad!"
Li Zexuan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the money in the first stage was enough, otherwise he would have to find a way to raise money.
"Hmm~, by the way, after talking about it for so long, I still don't know what the academy you want to build is called?"
Mrs. Li interjected.
"Mother, the name of the academy is called Yanhuang Academy, and Your Majesty has promised to personally inscribe a plaque for the child!"
"Really~? Your Majesty Himself? That's great! Xuan'er, you have to send someone to take good care of the plaque at that time, don't let people steal it! ”
Mrs. Li was pleasantly surprised.
Li Zexuan couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Mother~, you think too much!" The plaque inscribed by His Majesty himself, who dares to steal it! ”
"Then you have to take care of it, too! Oh, by the way, why is this academy called Yanhuang Academy? What does Yan Huang mean? ”
Mrs. Li wondered.
The descendants of Yan Huang were the first to publish "Chinese Zhou Yuxia": "Emperor Tian Jiazhi, Zuo to the world, given the surname '姒', the clan is known as 'Youxia', which means that he can be rich in creatures with Jiazhi." Blessing...... died of his family name and was depressed; There is no owner, and he is subordinate. Is the deceased without favor? All yellow, after the flame also. ”
However, words such as "descendants of Yan and Huang" and "descendants of the Yellow Emperor" were hidden and rarely used in ancient times. The reason for this is probably related to the weak national consciousness of the ancient Chinese, the respect for the two emperors of Yan and Huang is more cultural than blood, and the term "descendants of Yan and Huang" refers to a small scope. Ancient China was a "dynastic state" rather than a "nation-state" in the modern sense.
In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the concept of "descendants of Yan and Huang" became more widespread with the construction of Chinese nationalism. The early revolutionaries who rebelled against Manchu rule in the late Qing Dynasty used the slogan "descendants of Yan and Huang, descendants of the Yellow Emperor" to gain the support of the Han people. Moderate reformists, on the other hand, believe that "all China is the descendants of the Yellow Emperor."
Therefore, it is understandable that Mrs. Li does not know the concept of "descendants of Yan and Huang".
