Zu'er changed from Jia Baoyu to a stone monkey for the spirit stone that Nuwa left behind to make up for the sky, and cried sadly for a long time.

But Chu Tianxiu is "intoxicated" in high-speed creation, and she is working hard to write the book "Journey to the West", where can she take care of her.

He is ready to bring out all the four famous novels.

The four great Chinese masterpieces, these four books are enough to enrich the spiritual life of the people of Dachu two thousand years ago, so that they will not have nothing to do at night.

Zu'er saw that her uncle was busy writing manuscripts and ignored her, and she was bored eating melons and fruits, so she had to pick up the manuscript of "Journey to the West" on the desk where her uncle had written several chapters and take a look at it casually.

This is a terrible look.

The opening chapter of "Journey to the West" is too powerful.

The stone monkey burst out from the spirit stone, was respected as the Monkey King by the monkeys of Huaguo Mountain, went to the sea to learn art in Fangcun Mountain, got seventy-two changes and somersault clouds returned to Huaguo Mountain, made a big fuss in the underwater dragon palace, and got the wishful golden hoop stick.

The palace of the king of Hades crossed out the book of life and death, went to the heavenly court to make trouble in the heavenly palace, and the Jade Emperor was forced to edict An, and the official was named Bi Ma Wen.

The Monkey King's unrestrained fantasy soars into the sky.

In just four or five chapters, people have completely entered a vast mythical world. For the people of Da Chu, it is like a shock, and the shock is indescribable.

After reading a few chapters, Zu'er was completely fascinated, stunned, and felt like sleepwalking in this book.

This Monkey King is so powerful!

"Zu'er, isn't this book good!"

Chu Tianxiu was so fascinated by Zu'er reading a book, and couldn't help but laugh suddenly.

"Humph! It's good-looking, but you're too annoying, uncle. If this new book spreads, it will definitely be scolded by Da Chu readers! ”

Zu'er's face turned red and he snorted.

My uncle hastily ended "The Story of Stones" and offended a large group of Da Chu book fans. This new book opened a new book, and changed the word about the spirit stone left by Nuwa, and drummed up a new book.

I don't know how Da Chu scholars will scold them!

...

After the beginning of summer.

The temperature seemed to warm up overnight, and the summer was scorching, and I was sweating outside when I ran outside.

After the conclusion of the first imperial examination, it is imperative for various schools of Dachu to build institutions of higher learning and prepare for the next big examination.

Dong Xianliang has been running around for the past few days, going to the mansions of various wealthy families in Jinling City, begging for donations everywhere, and almost broke his leg, which is unspeakably miserable.

His mentor gave him a major task.

A new "Jinling Academy" was built in Jinling City to gather the world's top Confucian students, preach and teach, and flourish Confucianism.

But to build such a large-scale academy that can accommodate thousands of Confucian students, the most important thing is, of course, to raise a huge amount of silver taels.

At least 20,000 to 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver - there is no upper limit to the cost of building a academy, the more silver, the glazed tiles and wooden beams, the more magnificent and luxurious the building is!

Confucianism, as the number one university in the world, if it builds a academy so shabby, how can it have any face to show off in front of the world.

The mentor Kong Hanyou gave out 1,000 taels of silver, and the rest was for Dong Xianliang to hurry up and raise money everywhere.

After raising enough money, he could submit an application to the Prime Minister's Office, allocate a piece of land and a subsidy of a few thousand taels of silver, and build the academy as soon as possible.

The sooner this thing is done, the better, because there will be more schools of all kinds in the future, and the finances will be tight, so it will be difficult to approve the land and money.

Dong Xianliang could only summon all the Confucian scholars in Jinling to raise money together.

The tens of thousands of Confucian students in Jinling City were extremely enthusiastic about building the academy, but they were shy in their pockets, and they were not enough for a tael of silver at most or a few hundred copper plates. Added up, in the end, less than two or three thousand taels of silver were raised.

It is still far from building a magnificent Confucian academy.

No way.

Dong Xianliang could only go to the lords, powerful and wealthy lords of Jinling City, and ask them to contribute money to fund Jinling Academy.

The various gate lords and rich people also came out a little.

Xie Huyong's old prime minister's Xie door valve paid one hundred taels of silver.

Lu's gate valve, the great Confucian Taichang Lu Zi gave one hundred taels of silver, and told him to build a academy.

Wang's gate valve paid one hundred taels of silver, and recommended a Wang scholar to go to Jinling Academy to study in the future.

The amount of money donated made Dong Xianliang deeply feel the stinginess and coldness of the gate valve, and he just wanted to scold his mother.

The huge Jinling gate valve plays a role in gold and silver, 10,000 acres of fertile land and countless industries, but is only willing to donate 100 taels of silver, is it embarrassing?

Is he, Dong Xianliang, the one who lacks the one or two hundred taels of silver?

He is short of ten thousand taels of silver!

However, the most striking is the Yang Gate Valve of the Great Nong Ling Yang Chu, which has a long heritage, and is an extremely prominent but low-key wealth of the Great Chu Dynasty.

If it weren't for the rise of the father and son of the Shen family, I am afraid that the richest man in Jiangnan would definitely be the Yang family.

But let Dong Xianliang try his best, Lord Yang Chu didn't want to donate a copper plate, and sent him away with a cup of tea.

Dong Xianliang begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother in Jinling City, but he only raised 3,000 taels of silver.

It's far from 10,000 taels of silver.

He was disheartened, resting in the Princely Alley, drinking water, and looking up.

Pingwangfu!

Xiao Duhou has disappeared since the imperial examination, and he has not seen any movement, probably to cool off in the Pingwang Mansion.

Dong Xianliang pondered.

Get!

Xiao Duhou has made a lot of money from making paper recently, so go to him to raise one or two hundred taels of silver.

Although the Marquis of Confucianism was not very friendly to Confucianism.

But his personal relationship with Xiao Duhou is still very good.

Even if Xiao Duhou refuses to donate, then it is better to ask Xiao Duhou to come up with an idea.

Dong Xianliang immediately walked to the gate of the palace and reported to the guards, saying that the Moling County Order had come to visit and asked to see the Marquis of Xiaodu.

...

In a moment, the guards returned and let him enter the Pingwang Mansion.

Dong Xianliang entered Yu Garden, came to the study, and saw Xiao Duhou who was writing a manuscript and the maid Zu'er on the side.

Dong Xianliang saw it for the first time, but he saw a huge ice brick in the room, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

In the center of this study, a large wooden barrel is placed, and a half-zhang large ice brick is placed.

Although it was scorching heat outside, it made people sweat, but when I stepped into the study, I was instantly cooler and sober.

Xia Bing!

Although this thing is not worth mentioning in winter, it is very precious in summer, and it is difficult to buy gold and silver.

In addition to the imperial palace, there are a very small number of princes, princes and nobles, and there is a large underground ice cellar in the mansion to store ice, which ordinary wealthy families cannot eat at all.

But the huge ice brick in front of him is not used for food, nor is it used to freeze melons and fruits like in the palace, it is purely to cool down the study.

Chu Tianxiu was writing a manuscript comfortably in this cool study.

Zu'er was comfortably eating melons and fruits frozen in the wooden basin and reading the manuscript of a new book.

"Extravagant!"

Dong Xianliang was stunned, he had seen many rich landowners and eunuchs in his life.

I've never seen anyone put a giant ice in the house to cool off.

This time it was a real eye-opener.

When he went to visit Prime Minister Xie, Lord Wang Su, and Lord Lu Zi, he didn't see them, the great masters of the gate lord clan, squandering their luxury.

What do you mean by being rich?

This is called the real spending of money like water, and those Jinling gate valves are not enough to see.

It is worthy of the Pingwang Mansion, worthy of being a little faint marquis, and the wealth is rich. It's just summer, and I've already started to beat the heat with big ice.

When Dong Xianliang saw this, he was overjoyed in his heart.

Xiao Duhou is so squandered that he doesn't care about silver at all. I think he can donate a few hundred taels of silver, and it would be great if he could raise a thousand taels of silver.

Chu Tianxiu put down his pen and put it on the desk, saw Dong Xianliang coming in, and asked with a smile: "Brother Dong, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace!" Don't know what's coming? ”

"There is indeed a request for something.

My teacher instructed me to build a great Confucian academy, and the cost was very great, and I was raising silver taels everywhere, and I had already raised a lot of money from Confucian scholars and gate lords... But there is still a big gap, and I can't raise enough silver taels, so I came to visit!

I wonder if the little marquis can have enough money? Donate a little silver tael? ”

Dong Xianliang arched his hand, his face ashamed.

"What did you just ask?"

Chu Tianxiu said.

"Uh... Can I donate a little silver tael? ”

Dong Xianliang was stunned.

"No, last sentence!"

Chu Tianxiu said.

"Does the little marquis have plenty of money?"

Dong Xianliang was stunned again and asked.

"Do you see my son-in-law, with empty sleeves, as if he was rich? Door-to-door son-in-law, no money to spare, understand?

I don't have a single copper plate in my pocket, it's all in the hands of the county lord. The county lord is so stingy... Don't mention it.

Brother Dong, the friendship between you and me is as light as water, don't talk about these copper smells when we meet in the future.

Zuer sends off! ”

Chu Tianxiu waved his sleeves and waved his hand, full of helplessness.

Alas~, married men are so sour, and the money is in the hands of the lady.

Not to mention being a son-in-law, every tael of silver on his body is the property of his wife's family.

Dong Xianliang was still in a daze, so he was driven out of Yuyuan by Zu'er.

it!

Door-to-door son-in-law? The reason for refusing to donate is flawless!

But the little dusk marquis also slammed the door!

He originally thought that the big farmer had made Lord Yang Chu a dime, and a cup of tea to send him away was enough to pick the door.

Unexpectedly, there was a person who was even more picky than Yang Chu, who was Xia Bing to cool off, but he didn't even give him a sip of ice water melted by Xia Bing.

Is Da Chu the richer and richer, the more he picks the door?
