Chapter 369: Dongfan Academy has opened

Guo Zhiyuan knew that Guo Zhengyu was just a pretext, but in fact, he had concerns in his heart, Guo Zhengyu was an official to the third grade, and he had been a feudal official, and asked him to help him, the son of the five-grade prefect, to be a staff officer, and he was somewhat face-saving, Guo Zhiyuan knew that this matter was in a hurry, since Guo Zhengyu was here, he would definitely be able to fool him to stay with his three-inch tongue, so he retreated as a shortcut: "Then Dad, you will stay for a few days before leaving, let your son also do his filial piety, and accompany you to walk around and see, The customs of this eastern part of Tibet are still very different from those in the interior......"

Guo Zhengyu didn't refuse again this time, nodded and said: "Although Dongfan is under the jurisdiction of my Ming Dynasty, it has been lonely overseas, you can persuade the Holy Lord to open a mansion in Dongfan and build a government can be regarded as a great deed of great merit, since I am here, I should take a good look at it, but you don't have to accompany me when you are busy with official business, just let Wang Xi lead me around......"

In the next few days, Guo Zhengyu inspected around every day accompanied by Wang Xi, and he was shocked to see the thriving scene everywhere in Dongfan, especially the bustling scene in the free trade zone, which was completely beyond his imagination, and he never imagined that Guo Zhiyuan could build Dongfan, which was originally a desert island, into such a meteorographic atmosphere in such a short time!

Although Guo Zhiyuan did not personally accompany Guo Zhengyu to investigate, he has been paying attention to Guo Zhengyu's evaluation of Dongfan, and will call Wang Xi alone every day to ask Guo Zhengyu's reaction to the inspection of Dongfan, and learned that Guo Zhengyu is full of praise for the construction of Dongfan, and he is quite interested, and he has to go home every day until the sun goes down.

The time is coming soon, Dongfan Academy has been completed, Guo Zhiyuan is ready to recruit students from all over the country, hold a grand opening ceremony, and officially start the name of Dongfan Academy! Originally, Dongfan was lonely overseas, naturally no one wanted to go so far to study, but now Guo Zhiyuan's reputation in Fujian is booming, and Guo Zhiyuan has also opened very generous conditions in order to attract talents, all the Mengsheng scholars who come from the inland to study are not only free of tuition, including room and board, and if they have excellent academic performance, they can also get a scholarship of up to 50 taels of silver every year, so as soon as the news came out, the respondents gathered, and preliminary statistics recruited nearly 1,000 Mengsheng scholars. You must know that at this time, the largest school in the Ming Dynasty, --- Guozijian, only had a few hundred students!

In order to prepare for this grand opening ceremony, Guo Zhiyuan has been nesting on the construction site of Dongfan Academy almost every day these days, and he has personally asked about everything one by one, but on the official opening day, he handed over all the preparations to Xu Guangqi and others, but he took off his official robe and changed into a set of green cloth robes to accompany Guo Zhengyu to attend the opening ceremony.

Guo Zhengyu served as the supervisor of the Nanjing Guozi wine, and later became the lecturer of the East Palace, and naturally attached great importance to the issue of education, and he was also very interested in hearing about this event, and he took Guo Zhiyuan to the Dongfan Academy under Yangmingshan early in the morning, according to Guo Zhiyuan's plan, he wanted to make the Dongfan Academy a nationally renowned academy, the scale is naturally not small, covering an area of thousands of acres, the school buildings are lined up, the pavilions and pavilions are dotted among them, and under the background of the lush Yangmingshan behind, the end is magnificent, magnificent!

The most striking thing is undoubtedly the magnificent school gate at the door, in order to conform to the aesthetics of this era, Guo Zhiyuan did not copy the design of the school gate of the modern university, but used the archway school gate commonly used in this era, the school gate is all carved with white marble, up to more than ten meters, and is divided into three doors below, because according to Guo Zhiyuan's planning, Dongfan Academy will be divided into primary school, secondary school and military academy, and then according to age and education level of different classes.

The primary school mainly recruits students in the enlightenment stage, mainly the children of new immigrants and local aborigines, the middle school department is mainly recruited from all over the country to have a certain cultural foundation of Mongolian students and scholars, and the military academy department is mainly recruited from the new army officers and soldiers to train grassroots officers.

The side doors on both sides are engraved with a couplet, the content is Guo Zhiyuan's "shameless plagiarism" again, the primary school is simple, the carving is "study hard, go up every day", the military academy department is engraved with "greedy for life and fear of death, don't enter this door, please go his way if you are promoted and make a fortune", and the horizontal criticism runs through the entire archway, writing "Reading for the rise of China"

Guo Zhengyu saw the grandeur of Dongfan Academy from a distance and even claimed that it was good, and praised Guo Zhiyuan with satisfaction: "Yuan'er, education is the foundation of the country, and you have done a good job in Dongfan Academy!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan was waiting for Guo Zhengyu's words, and said with a shy smile: "It's just an empty shelf now, the key is that there is a shortage of professors, Daddy, you have been the country's priest, why don't you stay and help me take care of this stall!" ……”

Guo Zhengyu smiled and pointed his finger at Guo Zhiyuan but didn't answer, continued to walk forward, until he walked to the front of the school gate, looked up at the two couplets in front of the school gate, Guo Zhengyu silently read for a while, Guo Zhiyuan had the intention to show off, deliberately pointed to the two couplets and asked: "Dad, what do you think of these two couplets?" ……”

Guo Zhengyu glanced at Guo Zhiyuan, nodded and said with a smile: "Although the battle is not very neat, it is still a little new......" After speaking, seeing Guo Zhiyuan's face, he deliberately said: "It's just that this calligraphy is really a little unsatisfactory, I don't know who wrote it?" ”

Of course, this word is written by Guo Zhiyuan, but he regarded Dongfan Academy as the cradle of his own cultivation of talents, and it is naturally impossible to give the privilege of this school inscription to others. Kai-shek was able to unify most of China in the warlord division, relying on his fact that he was the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, so Guo Zhiyuan was very concerned about this, even if he knew that his calligraphy level was not good, he still insisted on inscribed by himself, for which he practiced for several months, and there were several baskets of waste paper, so he barely took out a piece of paper that could be taken out and handed over to the craftsman to engrave.

So Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help but blush when he heard this, scratched his head a little embarrassed and said: "Dad, don't expose people and don't expose shortcomings, don't laugh at me!" Of course, Guo Zhengyu had already guessed that this was written by Guo Zhiyuan, so he deliberately said so, he is naturally very satisfied with this son now, and feels that he is better than blue everywhere, and it is rare to see him embarrassed, so he stroked his beard and laughed!

At this time, in addition to Guo Zhiyuan's father and son, there are many Mengsheng and scholars who came from the mainland this time, and they are excitedly and curiously pointing to the unique school gate of Dongfan Academy to discuss it, Guo Zhiyuan deliberately does not wear official uniforms, but also wants to hear what these future Dongfan Academy students think of this school, so while chatting with Guo Zhengyu, he is also listening to the discussion of these Mengsheng scholars with pointed ears.
