"People's affairs, I'll figure it out, you just need to do things well." Li Mu thought about it and made a guarantee to Gongsun Kang.

Gongsun Kang was stunned for a moment, and immediately assured that as long as there were no problems with manpower, there would naturally be no problems on his side. In fact, just now his words came out, and he already regretted it. Because he had never spoken to Li Mu like this, it was not fun to make Li Mu anxious, but he didn't expect Li Mu to be so patient now, he didn't rush with him, and he was already secretly happy.

It's just that Gongsun Kang couldn't imagine how Li Mu could solve the problem of manpower. You know, according to the current budget, the premise of doing these projects without overspending is that there is a large amount of cheap labor. And near Chang'an and Luoyang, where is the cheap labor from?

What Gongsun Kang couldn't think of didn't mean that Li Mu couldn't think of either. Of course, he knows that there is no cheap labor near Chang'an and Luoyang, but there is no here, which does not mean that there is no other place. Li Mu never forgot his immigration plan. The Turkic tribes who were willing to be attached to the Central Plains were immigrated to the interior of the Central Plains, and their nomadic nature was changed to the settled people. But because they can't farm, they must have a source of income.

Li Mu positioned them as workers, cultivated them certain professional skills, and formed professional types of work in various industries around the vicinity of Luoyang.

It's just that this part involves a sensitive issue, that is, the Turks are all soldiers on their horses and people when they get off their horses, and so many Turks enter the interior, and no one can completely guarantee that they will not have problems. This kind of thing has always been forbidden, and it will arouse the suspicion of the emperor.

Li Mu didn't want to do this, after all, he had always been under the emperor's suspicion. But now that things are here, he doesn't do it, where can he find cheap labor to use? Unless conscription is issued, but this is the last thing Li Mu wants to do, even if there is not much conscription, it will give the people a sense of regression, and what Li Mu wants is development!

The lesser of two evils, Li Mu still decided to do it. As for suspicion, it's inevitable anyway, is it still a little bit close?

……

In the east of Luoyang City, a construction site is in full swing.

It was built here as a seowon. The academy has not yet been built, but the mountain gate of the academy has been completed, and the huge four characters "Bailu Academy", the font is solemn and simple, and a heavy atmosphere is blowing in the face.

This is a academy built by Li Mu in the name of his wife. can be named after his wife, which shows how much effort Li Mu has devoted to this academy.

In fact, it was originally an estate of Mrs. Lu. Luoyang was originally built as a new capital, and the best place for feng shui is, of course, the land where the imperial palace was built. And this land is not used, not because of feng shui, but because the land area is relatively small, not enough to build a palace. But if it is a private residence, it is more than enough, and the mansion is enough for any size.

When Mrs. Lu bought this piece of land, it meant that there was a royal sign. She gave this land to Li Mu because she wanted him to build a palace for Xiao Li Bai here, after all, he was named the king of Chu and built a high-standard palace, although it was too early and a little ostentatious, but it was also reasonable.

But this matter was finally vetoed by Li Mu, and the reason he gave was that it made no sense that his son's mansion was more than his father's. But this is just a pretext, in fact, he doesn't want his son, there is too much involvement.

This land has good feng shui, everyone knows it. There are many people in the world who know feng shui, and Yuan Tiangang is the most powerful one among them. Can he not see how the feng shui is here? The emperor believes in this kind of thing the most, if Li Mu built a mansion for Xiao Li Bai here and spread it to Li Shimin's ears, it may not be what happened. This is not a blessing for future generations, but a curse.

Li Shimin seemed to see Li Mu's concerns, and once mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally, which probably meant that Li Mu relaxed his heart, he was not so stingy.

But Li Mu still didn't change his mind, Li Shimin was not so stingy, the future emperor may not be, if there is a disaster, it is best not to do it.

So Li Mu told Li Shimin that there are only two excellent places for feng shui in Luoyang City, and logically speaking, this kind of place can only be owned by the emperor, but because there are two places, thanks to His Majesty's kindness, let me occupy one, and it is not impossible to build the palace, but it seems too selfish. Instead of feng shui being taken over by one family, how can it be better to build a college here, so that every student studying here can be stained with light?

So Li Mu built this White Deer Academy, and all the expenses were borne by Li Mu alone. This academy is even his personal welfare for the people of Luoyang.

The first phase of the academy project will be completed in two years. After all, this is an almost undeveloped mountain, with no infrastructure, and if everything starts from scratch, it is inevitable that there will be delays. But there are also advantages, all are new, and there is no need to be the original.

The academy only built a mountain gate, and the number of applicants exceeded 1,000. Among them, there are some gate valve families who come to make up the numbers, but more of them are ordinary poor students, they are looking forward to learning real skills from Li Mu, even if they can't become Li Mu in the future, they will become like a student of Datang Technical School, who can be a talent in charge of the internal affairs office, and it is also a thing that most people can wake up with a smile in their dreams.

Li Mu has not made it public, how he wants to run this school. The outside world has no way of knowing, but Li Mu himself already has a plan in his heart. He wants to turn this school into a holy place where a hundred schools of thought contend. It not only disseminates his ideas, but also embraces all other doctrines. Make this academy a benchmark, so that all the academies in the world can use this as a template, and where conditions permit, they will build their local students according to such a system, so as to lead the area and prosper the education of the Tang Dynasty.

No matter what the era, the importance of education to a country is incomparable.

Although there is only one mountain gate in the academy now, there are already many students. These people, both old and young, have the same purpose, that is, to be able to enroll in school at the first time. I don't know how the selection will be made in the end, but what if it's on a first-come, first-served basis?

And reading, reading everywhere. The environment near Bailu Academy is quiet, and it is really a good place to study.

As a result, these people 'settled' near the academy, and there were the first and the second, and there were hundreds of people one after another.

Li Mu did not drive them away, but sent people to regulate them. Let them settle down in a place that does not affect the progress of the project. Nor can it cause great damage to the surrounding environment, and apart from this, the principle of voluntary autonomy is adopted without arbitrary interference.

But some things are just unavoidable. Everyone is a reader, and no one thinks they are inferior. With so many people gathered in one place, it is inevitable that there will be discussions, and when there are discussions, it is inevitable that there will be times when there are disagreements, and disputes will arise.

Although the scholar is not good at fighting, if everyone is not good at it, there is no fear of fighting. Every now and then, there will be one or two brawl scenes. In order to solve this problem, some of the older scholars proposed whether to follow the example of Wei and Jin and hold an elegant gathering, where everyone gathered together to take turns to speak, expound their views, and those who were unclear from the truth and those who received more support would obviously win, so as not to fight so disgracefully.

This method was agreed by most people, so that the day of the seventh day of each month became the agreed day for the gathering. Today is just the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and Li Mu has caught up.

There is a literature museum in Luoyang City, and I heard that there is an elegant collection here, and many Confucians, who have already become famous, also come to join in the fun. Their addition has made the gold content of Yaji even higher. Among them, there are also some great Confucians, who do not directly participate in the discussion, but after the discussion of others, use their reputation to be a 'judge', evaluate the opinion article, and promote the end of the learning, which is quite a bit of a suspicion of relying on the old and selling the old.

But the post-school finalists don't hate it. Because these Confucians have long been famous, for a young person, it is definitely a thing to get their affirmation.

Li Mu caught up today, he deliberately separated Li Chongyi, so that no one would notice him through Li Chongyi, he himself was mixed in the crowd, but it was not so easy to recognize, although everyone in Luoyang City knew him, but not many people had really seen him in person.

Li Mu mingled in the crowd, just like an ordinary student. He listened to a few people share their reading experiences, and his brows became more and more furrowed.

He thought that the atmosphere here was so open-minded that everyone would get together to discuss, and some of the ideas that would arise from the mind could not help but be stuck in the previous categories. But after listening to the speeches of three people in a row, Li Mu found that the ideas of these people were basically the same as those of Confucianism, and they all seemed to be taught by Kong Yingda's old pedant. This is nothing, the point is that none of the people listening below raised any objections, and it is clear that their understanding of reading is similar to that of these speakers. If the future of the academy is this atmosphere of learning, Li Mu feels that there is no need to run a school.

I have all gone to Guozijian to study, what is the significance of the existence of Bailu Academy?

Li Mu really couldn't listen to it anymore, he returned to his carriage, took out the set of disguise tools that Jin Chen had prepared for him, and simply tinkered with it, turning into a slightly sickly, somewhat haggard middle-aged scholar, alias Li Yan, found the person who presided over the Yaji today, and got the opportunity to speak on stage.

As soon as Li Mu took the stage, he denounced the Six Classics and the Analects and Mencius, which are not holy scriptures that are not easy to come by, but the disciples of the saints, recalling the words and phrases of the saints they heard, either with a head but without a tail, or with a tail without a head, or simply made up and written down into a book. Such a book has a certain reference value, but it does not have to be regarded as a guideline, let alone a classic that is not easy to read.

Later generations thought that this was all the brilliant theory of the saints, but in fact they had gone into a misunderstanding. Because this book was not written by the saint himself, perhaps many of the remarks in this book were made up by disciples, and they were not said by the saint at all?

Even if there is a saint who really speaks, it is just a random answer to the matter at that time, so as to point out those disciples who are not enlightened. It's just a matter of facts, and the right medicine is prescribed, how can it be regarded as an eternal truth, and go to carve a boat for a sword?

Therefore, it is obvious that the Six Classics, the Analects, and Mencius have long been used as tools by those who have the right to speak, and they are used as tools for fooling the people. Insightful people must not take the content of these books as their own code of conduct, let alone learn the content of these books in every word and deed, if they do, it will be a little brainless.

When Li Mu spoke, there was silence below, not that no one objected, but they were all stunned. Shouldn't this kind of deviant remark be beaten to death?

When he finished speaking, the audience couldn't help it, and reprimanded: "If it's so worthless, why do you still want to teach it in the past?" ”

"Its only value is only the step of advancement." Li Mu said lightly: "The world's scholars 'Yang is Taoism, Yin is wealthy, they are elegant, and they are like dogs', how many of them really believe in it?" ”

Hearing this, some people couldn't help but nod their heads subconsciously, not for the sake of Golden House, Qian Zhongsu and Yan Ruyu, how many people are willing to study?

"You talk nonsense!" There are also disciples who firmly believe in the Four Books and Five Classics, and angrily reprimanded Li Mudao: "Heaven does not give birth to Zhongni, and eternity is as long as night." You are a little madman, you can say no to it! ”

Li Mu laughed: "I just heard today that it turned out that the eons before Confucius was born were long nights. It seems that Lao Tzu, the Three Emperors, and the Five Emperors, the sages before Confucius, all walked with lanterns all day long! ”

After the "......" battle, as a code of conduct, one should not learn the content of these books in every word and deed, if you do that, it will be a little brainless.

After the battle of "......" ended, I only heard today that it turned out that the eternal years before Confucius was born were long nights. It seems that Lao Tzu, the Three Emperors, and the Five Emperors, the sages before Confucius, all walked with lanterns all day long! ”
