The fourteenth year of Fengle is just an ordinary year for most people, but for Jiang Anyi, this year is a year of harvest and joy.

Just after the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the notice of the county government was posted to all the townships and villages, because they had greeted each other in advance and held a general meeting, the people of Fuluo County had already known about the policy of "combining taxes into one" in Jiang County, and after several months of digestion and discussion, the official notice became unfazed.

It is said that before the government decree is introduced, the fields must be cleared and the land grade should be reclassified, but Jiang Anyi deliberately missed this step. First, it is difficult to clean up the accumulation for a while, and to sort it out will delay the implementation of "tax integration into one"; Second, Fuluo County is mountainous, and ordinary people are assigned to the mountains to fill the fields, which was originally a big loss, but now Qingwu tea is selling well, and many people grow tea in the mountain fields, and the income will be higher than farming, and some people even begin to try to grow medicine, so Jiang Anyi is rarely confused.

After the Shangyuan Festival, Jiang Huang proposed to go to Huangyang Mountain to burn incense and make a wish. Now Jiang Huang is a devout believer in Buddhism, when he heard that Master Hongxin is building a Buddhist temple in Fuluo Huangyang Mountain, even if he decided to go to the Buddha, let the Buddha bless Dong'er to give birth to a big fat grandson.

Jiang Anyi originally thought that in less than a month, and it was a cold winter, the Huangyang Buddhist Temple should still be a construction site with a pile of rocks. To his surprise, the mountain gate of the Yellow Sheep Buddha Temple has risen at the foot of the mountain, and a stone bridge has been erected over the river moat of the checkpoint.

Walking across the stone bridge, the mountain road is full of busy people, ant colony back and forth, carefully passing by the workers carrying wood or stone, Jiang Anyi looked around and found that the Huangyang Temple had begun to take shape, the Tianwang Palace, the Bell and Drum Tower have ready-made buildings, bamboo frames are erected outside, and craftsmen are painting them. At the top of the mountain, in the Daxiong Treasure Hall rebuilt by the Juyi Hall, dozens of craftsmen are carefully pasting gold on the bamboo frame to the Buddha statue, the three Buddhas sit in the main hall, the Buddha statue is as high as Zhangxu, the upper body is already glittering with golden light, the law is solemn, so that the viewer can't help but bow and worship.

Master Hongxin was pointing at the craftsman in the main hall, and when he saw Jiang Anyi's family entering the hall, he stepped forward to salute and greet him, they were all old acquaintances, and they were still a family, so they didn't need to be too polite. Master Hongxin's nephew Fang Zhizhong is the godson of Jiang Huang's family, Jiang Anyong is half of the master's lay disciple, and now Fang Zhizhong is under the king of Anyang to ride Cao to join the army, and he is the official rank on the seventh grade, which is higher than Jiang Anyi's county order at this time.

The hall is too noisy, Master Hongxin led them out of the hall to the back, there are several rows of houses behind the Juyi Hall, temporarily used as the residence of the temple builders, Master Hongxin's abbot's room is on the right rear side, here is far away from the main hall, the noisy sound on the construction site is much quieter.

The little monk offered tea, and Master Hongxin said with a smile: "Follow the customs of the country, the old lady please drink the Qingwu tea praised by Ling Lang, this tea is fragrant and sweet, and the bitter taste of Anlong tea is the same." ”

In seven years, the former peasant woman has become a noblewoman, and her speech and demeanor are a little more calm and elegant. After taking a sip of tea, Jiang Huang said with a smile: "Master, my son Anyi is thanks to the master's help to get to where he is today, and the old man is grateful." This time, the mountain temple was built, and the old man was willing to donate a jade Buddha. ”

Jiang Huang's belief in Buddhism, the jade Buddha is enshrined in the Buddhist hall at home, it is Jiang Anyi spent 3,000 taels of silver to buy it when he was in Huazhou, it is about a foot high, it is warm and moist and transparent, it is a rare treasure. This time when he came to Huangyang Mountain to see that the temple was not complete, Jiang Huang thought of the little life in Dong'er's womb, and wanted to pray for the unborn grandson, so he wanted to invite the jade Buddha in the Buddha hall.

Master Hongxin knew Jiang Huang's thoughts, and said indifferently: "Pious worship to the Buddha, why use precious treasures, Buddhism has heavy treasures, I'm afraid it's not a good thing, the old lady is kind to the poor monk." ”

Jiang Anyi interjected on the side: "Since the master is not concerned about vulgar things, the Jiang family is willing to ask someone to dig out the image of the Buddha on the stone wall of the middle of the mountain for people to worship." ”

There is a stone cliff in the middle of Huangyang Mountain, there are six zhang high, about three zhang wide, the texture is hard, just carved Buddha statue. Master Hongxin glanced at Jiang Anyi approvingly, and said, "Jiang Tanyue is worthy of being a person with wise roots, and this move is very good. You may wish to visit the craftsman for the poor monk first, the poor monk remembers that there is a Buddha incarnation in the Mingpu Temple, the poor monk writes a letter to the temple to ask, how to carve, the poor monk will discuss with the craftsman. ”

Carving Buddha on the cliff, this is a grand event, the stone Buddha still exists after a thousand years, it is a supreme merit for anyone, even if Master Hongxin practices to the heart without external objects, he can't help but be happy.

Jiang Anyi came to Huangyang Mountain for another thing, that is, to start building the academy, compared with the sound and impressive side of the temple, the academy has not yet broken ground. From the depths of Jiang Anyi's heart, the construction of the Buddhist temple is mainly to repay his gratitude and create a grand scene for Fuluo County, and the academy is what he is willing to build with his heart.

A few years ago, he wrote two letters, one to Deng Shanchang, asking him to come to Huangyang Academy to teach, and the other to his teacher Fan Yanzhong, inviting the teacher to come to Fuluo County for a walk. After Fan Yanzhong became a scholar, he wrote the book "Yunshuitan Words", and taught the champion of Sanyuan and the first, so that he reached the top of his reputation in Shilin, and no one in the literary world could match. People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and from the letter from the old man, Jiang Anyi knows that he is now old and strong, and he is very quiet and wants to take a look around.

On the tenth day of the first month, Jiang Anyi received a letter from Deng Shanchang, who praised him for his student assistance, and strongly supported Jiang Anyi's plan to build a college and asked him to give a lecture, and promised to bring Mr. Su Ziming Su and Mr. Ling Xuling to teach in March.

Jiang Anyi is happy and worried, happy that he can do his best for poor students, not only to realize Deng Shanchang's wishes, but also to establish prestige in Shilin, killing two birds with one stone; The worry is that he has created a momentum, and the Yellow Sheep Academy is still in the bud, what if Deng Shanchang leads the crowd to come?

Without delay, after returning to Fuluo County, Jiang Anyi began to build the Huangyang Academy. The environment of the academy is excellent, and it is far away from the city, just quiet to study. There were some buildings on the mountain that could be used as residences for teachers and students, and even the dining hall was ready-made. After the field investigation, Jiang Anyi found that what the academy lacked was a large lecture hall and a library building, and the lecture place of Zechang Academy gave Jiang Anyi a deep impression, and Huangyang Academy could not be compared with the hundreds of years of Zechang Academy, but a school was necessary.

There is a large piece of flat land at the foot of the mountain, which was originally a place for military training, and Jiang Anyi decided to build the school here. After learning that Deng Shanchang would come to Huangyang Academy to give lectures in March, Zhao Tingshi gave strong support to people, money and materials, and Huangyang Academy was completed in early March before the completion of Huangyang Academy.

Jiang Anyi accompanied Zhao Tingshi to inspect the newly built Huangyang Academy, walked slowly up the stone steps, the blue tile and white wall loomed between the trees, Zhao Tingshi praised: "What a quiet place to study, Zhao saw this scene, I can't take off the mundane things to read in the mountains, and I come to taste tea and participate in Zen with Master Hongxin, how leisurely." ”

Jiang Anyi naturally won't take this kind of sigh seriously, but the fart still has to be filmed, Jiang Anyi smiled: "The adults are the emperor's grace, the herdsmen are in the world, I'm afraid it is difficult to have such leisure, in the future, when the adults enter the court, all the people in the world will remember the kindness of the adults who sacrifice their egos for the country and the people." ”

Zhao Jinglun laughed heartily when he said this, and said: "Anyi, borrow your auspicious words, you and I encourage them." ”

The lecture hall is a mouth-shaped courtyard, seven rooms wide, five rooms deep, the largest room can accommodate more than 300 people to listen to lectures, the courtyard in the middle is larger, can stand down six or seven hundred people, the hollow-shaped corridor, adopts the style of Zechang Academy, black railing and red pillars, looks solemn and generous.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down at the academy under the mountainside, it was like a neat fertile field, Zhao Shulun was very satisfied with the structure of the academy, and said with a smile: "The fertile land has been placed and is waiting to be harvested. This harvest refers to the harvest of the person who reads, and also refers to the harvest that he has worked hard to help run the school, no matter what, Zhao Shulun is looking forward to it.

On March 20, Deng Shanchang appeared in Jingyang Mansion with Mr. Su and Mr. Ling and came to give lectures at the Huangyang Academy in Fuluo County. Don't look at Deng Shanchang is only the head of Zechang Academy, and he is a court doctor under the fifth grade, but his reputation among Shilin is far beyond Zhao Shulun's ability. Zhao Shulun didn't dare to put on a show, so he personally welcomed him into the mansion, set up a banquet to entertain him, and then personally accompanied him to the Huangyang Academy, and at the same time sent someone to inform Jiang Anyi to go.

On March 25, Jiang Anyi met Deng Shanchang in the Huangyang Academy, he had not seen each other for a few years, Deng Shanchang's demeanor was still the same, Mr. Su and Mr. Ling warmly greeted Jiang Anyi, and the two intended to stay in the Huangyang Academy to teach, Mr. Su served as the mountain chief, Mr. Ling lectured, and the other personnel were originally appointed by Jiang Anyi, but Zhao Tingshi enthusiastically returned the power of the Huangyang Academy to the government, and Jiang Anyi naturally could not compete with him.

On March 26, Mr. Su gave a lecture on "Narrative and Chapter", and nearly 200 scholars from all over the country who rushed to hear the news listened to Mr. Su's lecture.

The next day, Mr. Ling talked about "Music Notes", after a night, more than 100 people came to listen to the lecture, everyone sat in the courtyard of the academy, listened to Mr. Ling talk about music enthusiastically, speaking of the rising place, Mr. Ling also asked people to take the guqin, improvised a song "Qingquan Yin", the sound of the piano is clear, the ice spring is condensed, the spring breeze turns into rain, the spring water is dingdong, and the hearts of the people flow happily.

On the third day, Deng Shanchang began to lecture on the "Sacrifice", the audience has reached 500 people, and the readers of the whole Lizhou have spread it all over, and the mountain chief of Zechang Academy has come to Huangyang Cottage to teach, and the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, and even scholars from other states have rushed to come after hearing the news.

At that time, it was the court examination of the state capital, and Zhao Tingshi could not stay for a long time, so he returned to Jingyang Mansion with his subordinates. And those children who listened to the lectures in Huangyang Academy also set foot on the Jingyang Mansion to participate in the examination one after another. The lectures of Huangyang Academy have not stopped, and more than 100 scholars have requested to study in the academy, and Jiang Anyi's goal of helping students has been achieved.
