Text: Chapter 525: Jimin Academy
On the first day of April, Huazhou ushered in another grand event, the completion of Jimin Academy, and Lord Thorn Shi was invited to attend the inauguration ceremony. From the discussion before the Mid-Autumn Festival to the completion of the academy in mid-March, it took only half a year in total, giving full play to the advantages of large number of people, more money and great strength.
The official sedan chair stopped in front of the mountain gate, Jiang Anyi got out of the sedan chair, and a neat blue shirt stood in front of the mountain gate under the sun, with a green pine-like upright spirit, revealing the meaning of prosperity, which was particularly eye-catching. Before the Jingjing students, there was a thirty-year-old Confucian student, with a white face and black beard, a cyan robe, elegant and graceful, and he was Lu Wenwen, the head of the academy. Beside him are the lecturers, deputy lecturers, supervisors, and scholars of the academy, although Jimin Academy is less than half the size of Zechang Academy, but although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.
From the preparation, design, purchase of materials, purchase of land, and appointment of teachers, the squires of Huiye Mansion headed by the old man of Ningbo were all responsible for the construction, design, purchase of materials, purchase of land, and appointment of teachers. Jiang Anyi allocated the green mountain in the south of Huiye Funan to the academy in the instructions for applying for the construction of the academy, and personally contributed 2,000 taels.
Ningbo wrote a letter to his son, Ning Ze, the squire of the Ministry of Works, and asked him to find the mountain chief and lecture from Guozijian. Ning Ze knew that this was a good thing for the glory of the ancestors, and found the Guozijian Liquor Fei Ruyang to invite someone, Fei Saijiu was worried that the influence of the Guozijian in Shilin was declining, so he hit it off and recommended Lu Wenwen, the fourth doctor of the Guozijian. This Gong is a Jinshi of Fengle for three years, and the four doctors on the seven products of Guozijian can be a doctor in Guozijian, and his knowledge is first-class. It's just that he went to the newly built academy in Huazhou from Guozijian, and Lu Wenwen was naturally unwilling, if Zechang and Zhangyi Academy were about the same.
Fei Ruyang moved his name and promised to ask the Son of Heaven to transfer him back to Beijing four years later, and to promote him to the post of Doctor of Taixue on the sixth grade. Guozijian has Dr. Guozi, Doctor of Taixue, Doctor of Four Gates, Doctor of Law, Doctor of Calligraphy, and Doctor of Xiaoxue. Lu Wenwen and then served as a doctor of law in Guozijian (from the eighth grade), and it took thirteen years to serve as a doctor of the four doors (on the seventh grade), and the seven-rank official was placed in the place that was Baili Hou, but in the center of power in the capital, thousands of officials were really not ranked in the seventh grade.
Guozijian is extremely noble, but the Son of Heaven can't come to Guozijian twice a year, as the fourth doctor of the seventh grade, even if the Son of Heaven comes, it will not be his turn to come forward and show his face, and the Son of Heaven does not know him at all. Lu Wenwen is considered to be from a family of eunuchs, and his grandfather once made a history of Jiangzhou assassination, leaving some connections and money, so Lu Wenwen can be promoted step by step, which is already good, you must know that there are many of his eighth-grade grinds in the same year. Being able to rise from the seventh grade to the sixth grade in four years, Lu Wenwen was moved, but he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when he thought that Huazhou was a place of many wars on the border.
Ning Ze tempted him and said with a smile: "Dr. Lu, Huazhou is misunderstood by the world, in fact, the beautiful scenery of Huazhou is not lower than that of the south of the Yangtze River. My father mentioned in the letter that as long as Dr. Lu was willing to go to Jimin College to serve as the head of the mountain, in addition to the normal Shu Yu, he should also be offered 400 taels of tea. In this way, Lu Wenwen came to Jimin Academy as the head of the mountain.
Looking at the dark scarlet official uniform that came out of the official sedan chair, Lu Wenwen's eyes flashed with envy, and he led the people behind him to salute respectfully: "Welcome to Lord Shi." ”
Jiang Anyi stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Lu Wenwen's hand and said: "Mr. Lu is erudite and talented, and he is willing to be the head of the mountain from the Guozi Jian to Jimin Academy, which is really a blessing for Huazhou and a blessing for all beings." The gentleman came like a long drought
Gan Lin, Jiang is overjoyed, with Mr. here, Huazhou's literary style will be prosperous. ”
Lu Wenwen's mind at this moment recalled Fei Saijiu's words, "Jiang Thorn History is rarely promising, Wen Wen can make friends with him as soon as possible, and it will be beneficial to his career in the future", knowing that Jiang Thorn Shi does not like luxury, he deliberately wore a simple blue cloth shirt today, I don't know if it can increase Jiang Thorn Shi's favor.
Jiang Anyi saw that Lu Wenwen was a little trance-like, thinking that he was working hard for the celebration, so he didn't care, and smiled and gestured to the storyteller and others beside him. Lu Wenwen came to his senses and leaned sideways: "Lord Jiang, this is not the place to speak, please go to Minglun Hall to talk." ”
The academy is located in the embrace of the green mountain, facing north and south, along more than 100 stone steps slowly upward, one side of the stone wall is polished and smooth, engraved with the name of the donor. He Wencai hung up the messenger in charge of the academy, managing the finances, purchases, repairs and other affairs of the academy, of course, the specific affairs are handled by his own subordinates, and he wants this title.
As a manager, He Wencai was very clear about the money donated to the school, and introduced next to Jiang Tingshi: "This time, Jimin Academy received a total of 21,346,2072 pieces of donated silver, and 12 hectares of land...... The remaining silver is eight thousand one hundred and forty-three taels, and He is ready to buy some more fields......"
Walking to the end of the stone steps, Jiang Anyi saw two thousand taels engraved under his name in the previous names, the Ning family donated five thousand taels of silver, and the squires behind him had more than a thousand taels, and the few were two hundred taels, and said with a smile: "All the princes are people who are anxious for justice and righteousness, and they donate generously to the township, which is admirable, especially the old man Ning is well aware of righteousness and respectful, Jiang suggested that the old man Ning should become the honorary mountain chief." ”
Everyone applauded, and the money they came up with was always to take advantage of it, and there were thousands of students who could be remembered, and the title of honorary mountain chief was ironclad to be known by the people.
Ningbo did not wait in the leg of the mountain, he was old, in the morning the mountain rested in the academy, heard Jiang Tingshi lead people up the mountain, under the help of the housekeeper Ning An, went out of the gate to greet, just heard Jiang Anyi awarded him the title of honorary mountain chief, excited that his beard trembled, and said loudly: "The reputation of the adult, the old man is ashamed to be ashamed, only for the academy to do more practical things to be worthy of the title of the honorary mountain chief, thank you for your kindness." ”
The four big characters of "Jimin Academy" on the plaque at the gate of the academy are written by Guozi Jian Fei Ruyang, but the couplets on both sides are empty, Lu Wenwen said with a smile: "Master Jiang's poems and essays are unique, and the couplets of Jimin Academy still need to be written by adults." ”
The literati were very interested in this kind of inscription, inscription poem, and inscription, and Jiang Anyi was no exception. Worry first and then be happy, and the heart must be in the youth.
"Good", Lu Wenwen praised: "Adults show the true meaning of reading, young people work hard, first bitter and then sweet, learn to apply, care about the world, wonderful." ”
Ningbo stroked his beard and said: "This couplet is worried first and then happy, a sentence comes from the famous sentence in the adult's "Songchang Lou Ji": the worries of the world first and the joy of the world after the world, which is thought-provoking, and Jimin Academy has added a lot of brilliance because of this couplet. ”
Entering the gate, there are lecture halls, Minglun Hall and east and west matching rooms, library buildings and east and west side doors, dining halls, instructor residences, worship temples, east and west side rooms, Kuixing Building and east and west corridor rooms. The academy is newly built, the doors, windows, tables and chairs are still full of the fragrance of trees, the books in the library building are brand new, Jiang Anyi opened a copy casually, and the faint fragrance of ink was revealed, which made people addicted. The pavilions on both sides of the main body have not yet been completely placed, after all, it has only been half a year, and there are still many places that need to be slowly repaired, but the solemnity and dignified condensation of the academy are solemn and dignified
An atmosphere of heaviness, peace and tranquility has already begun to emerge.
Everyone in Minglun Hall sat down, and Lu Wenwen introduced: "The academy has a mountain chief, two lecturers, and two assistant lecturers; There are 206 new students, including 60 Xiucai, 60 Tongsheng, and the rest are Mengtong...... "This is different from other academies, most academies do not admit Mengtong, but Jiang Anyi thought that Huazhou was even war-torn and many families could not afford to study, and now the situation is improving, so he simply told Ningbo and others about his plans at the beginning of the school, and asked them to try their best to recruit Mengtong who had missed school into the academy."
After Lu Wenwen finished speaking, Jiang Anyi said: "The new creation of the academy is the opportunity for the renewal of Vientiane, nearly half of the academy is Mengtong, and it takes a few gentlemen to work hard." These students are all the seeds of Huazhou scholars, and I just looked at the roster, and most of them are children of poor families. Jiang himself was born in a peasant family and knew very well that it was difficult for the children of the poor to study, so he decided that the government would subsidize the food of each poor child, and he would pay eighty percent of the student staff of the government. ”
He Wencai got up and responded: "I respectfully command your lordship." ”
After drinking a cup of tea, Lu Wenwen said with a smile: "Today, Jimin Academy is completed, and I would like to ask you to say a few words for the students of the academy and cheer them up." ”
Jiang Anyi stood up and walked towards the lecture hall surrounded by everyone. The lecture hall of Jimin Academy is very large, fan-shaped around the middle podium, and the tables and chairs behind it are gradually raised according to the topography, and the podium is surrounded by a condescending position, which is also Jiang Anyi's idea.
As Jiang Tingshi, Lu Shanchang and others walked into the lecture hall, all the students quieted down, looking at the teachers on the podium with blazing eyes, waiting for the first part of the preaching and teaching.
Lu Wenwen coughed and said: "Master Jiang has a "Yellow Sheep Ming", which begins with the words: The mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, and the dragon is in the spirit. Today, Jimin Academy was completed, and its name is not obvious, not to mention that compared with Guozijian, Zechang Academy, and Zhangyi Academy, even other colleges are inferior. ”
Lu Wenwen is worthy of being the doctor of Guozijian, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he grabbed everyone's hearts tightly. Looking around at the slightly confused faces behind the desk, Lu Wenwen was proud in his heart, and continued: "There are many of you who are famous and famous, and you don't go out, you can know the world, you have probably heard of the Huangyang Academy in Lizhou." ”
Many people nodded, the Yellow Sheep Academy has been in the limelight in recent years, and there have been several Jinshi, I heard that the Yellow Sheep Academy was founded by Jiang Thorn Shi when he was the county commander in Fuluo County, and now Jiang Thorn History is an official in Huazhou, and Jimin Academy may be as famous as Yellow Sheep Academy.
After the excited discussion calmed down a little, Lu Wenwen smiled and said: "Yes, the Huangyang Academy was founded by the history of the Jiang Thorn, and the "Yellow Yang Ming" I just mentioned was written by the people of Jiang University for the students when the Huangyang Academy was founded. Worry first and then be happy, and keep your heart in your youth', encourage everyone to work hard while they are young, and not let Huangyang Academy specialize in beauty. The academy is a place for cultivating talents, and the reason why Guozijian and Zechang Academy are famous all over the world is not because they have existed for a long time, but because they have cultivated many students like Jiang Daren. Ladies and gentlemen, if you work hard in the academy today, the academy will shine with glory because of you, and Jimin Academy will become a famous academy such as Zechang Academy and Zhangyi Academy. ”
Cheers and applause resounded in the lecture hall, and many students were so excited that they burst into tears, Lu Wenwen signaled everyone to be quiet, and raised his hand to give way: "Lord Jiang, please say a few words for everyone." ”()
