The mountain chief of Chengdu Academy is Xu Ling, which is a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River and is recognized by everyone as "filial piety". And the Yuelu Academy that was established immediately afterwards, Li Xinchen also invited Yan Zhiyi of the Langya Yan family. With the reputation of Langya Yan, Yan Zhiyi is naturally worthy of this position.

Then the remaining Jinling Academy, as a academy in the capital of the Han Dynasty, the position of the mountain chief can also be said to be hot. Xu Ling and His Majesty are also teachers and friends, plus their qualifications are alive here, and everyone has nothing to say as the mountain chief. And Langya Yan doesn't need to say much, they are originally the descendants of Yan Hui, and it is obvious to all that they have devoted themselves to studying over the years, and this position is naturally well-deserved.

It is obviously difficult to find a mountain chief who can compete with figures like Yan Zhiyi and Xu Ling, and Jinling Academy is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, so the reputation and teaching quality of this academy naturally cannot be worse than the remaining two. So when some people were even speculating whether Li Xinchen would invite Xu Ling from Chengdu, and some people were ready to recommend themselves to snatch the position of the head of the Jiangnan cultural context, Li Xinchen unexpectedly took the little-known Xiao Cong as the head of Jinling Academy, which really surprised many people.

But when I think about it, everyone understands.

Xiao Cong was obviously just a cover for Li Xinchen to push out, after all, no one believed that Li Xinchen would really hand over Jinling Academy to a young man in his twenties, compared to Xu Ling and Yan Zhiyi, who presided over the other two academies, were already gray-haired.

The one who really stood in the position of the head of Jinling Academy should be Xiao Cong's father, Xiao Yue, the former Emperor of Western Liang. It's just that Xiao Yue's identity is not suitable to show up directly.

Needless to say, the Lanling Xiao clan itself also started with learning, and Xiao Yue's grandfather was the famous Prince Xiao Tong of Zhaoming of Southern Liang. It was under the leadership of Xiao Tong that Nanliang gathered the people of the world and compiled the earliest collection of Han cultural poems in Chinese history, the "Anthology", and Xu Ling, who was fashionable and young at the time, was one of the huge compilation teams.

The publication of the "Selected Works" marked the first appearance of the Chinese civilization, especially the Han civilization in the Chinese civilization, as a whole, and changed the name of the Han nationality from the original Han Dynasty to the Chinese nation.

It is precisely because of this book that Xiao Tong, the prince of Zhaoming, was respected by Jiangnan Shilin as the first person to learn everyone, and everyone is looking forward to the peaceful and prosperous world that His Royal Highness the prince can bring after succeeding to the throne, but it is a pity that God is jealous of the talent, Xiao Tong died young, and the prince of Zhaoming did not become the emperor after all. However, Xiao Tong's third son later established the Western Liang, that is, the first emperor of the Western Liang, Xiao Jing.

Therefore, Xiao Yue and Xiao Cong are the orthodox descendants of Xiao Tong. Naturally, everyone has no objection to the Jinling Academy presided over by them, even if it is the filial piety of the Mu Gong and the Langya Yan family, they are not comparable to the status of the Lanling Xiao family and the Zhaoming prince in the Jiangnan Shilin after all.

What's more, this itself is also a matter of putting gold on Li Xinchen's face, after all, Li Xinchen dared to allow the prince or even the emperor of Xiliang to preside over this Jinling Academy, and it is naturally needless to say that he is tolerant and generous. As long as they are obedient and obedient, even former enemies of life and death can tolerate it, let alone others.

This will naturally have immeasurable benefits for Dahan to attract more talents.

Of course, it was actually because Li Xinchen knew that the Xiao family father and son had no interest in being emperors in the first place, especially since they had tasted the taste of being puppet emperors, so they were happy to let them come to preside over the academy.

"How is the academy being rebuilt now?" Li Xinchen continued to walk upward, while looking at the surrounding scenery, his voice was very flat, as if he was chatting with his own family. Of course, in fact, now he and Xiao Cong, the eldest brother, can be regarded as their own family.

Xiao Cong hurriedly said: "Originally, these two temples on the mountain were open opposite each other, and each temple was a three-entry courtyard, which was not big. Now, after all the renovations, the two sides of the house have been added as accommodation for students, and at the same time, vegetable patches have been opened up to make the college self-sufficient. ”

Li Xinchen bowed slightly. In fact, the scholars of this era were still very simple, and they did not expect to be able to rely on the help of the imperial court, as long as they could have a piece of land to grow some vegetables and raise some livestock, they would be able to meet the daily expenses of the academy.

Not to mention farming······ It is the fine tradition of the Chinese nation.

And Xiao Cong made a gesture of please, leading Li Xinchen into the main entrance: "Now the main hall in the academy has been repaired, and the rooms in the back are still being renovated, but they must be cleaned up before the Shangyuan Festival." ”

The two sides of the mountain gate that once enshrined the four heavenly kings have been replaced with tablets of Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi and others, and the main hall is not to mention, since it is a academy here, the original Buddha and the like can not be left, instead of the statue of Confucius, and the surrounding are the disciples of Confucius, completely become the style of the Temple of Literature, but also in line with the atmosphere of the academy.

On both sides of the main hall are the library and lecture places, and the places that have not yet been renovated are the accommodation places. For the literati of this era, of course, it is not important to eat and sleep in the open, but to determine their beliefs and protect their books first.

"Jinling Academy enrolls 135 students this year, right?" Li Xinchen said next.

Xiao Cong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's far more than that now." Since Zhengdan, more than 200 people want to sign up to enter the academy, and Wechen is now having a headache about it. Now we have to at least double the size to fit so many people. ”

Li Xinchen waved his hand: "We are a academy, not a soup kitchen, those who can't come will not refuse, do you have any strategy now?" ”

Xiao Cong heard the slight displeasure in Li Xinchen's words, and hurriedly said: "Now we plan to follow the method of Chengdu Academy to recruit talents by examination, and the talents who are finally recommended to the imperial court are the same, selected through examinations. The specific topic is already being discussed. ”

Li Xinchen bowed slightly, now the academy is just a shelf, Li Xinchen can't ask them to do everything perfectly, and Li Xinchen doesn't plan to completely move the set of examination theories in later generations, after all, each era has different needs of each era, and the things in later generations seem to be advanced, but they may not be in line with the current situation, so Li Xinchen still focuses on letting Xiao Cong discuss and improve by themselves.

"What I want is talent, no matter what background, it can be talented." Li Xinchen added, "So your assessment methods should also be more flexible, understand?" ”
