On the first day of February, I was stunned.

At night, the spring thunder rolled and woke up the sleeping Zhu Shun.

Zhu Shun sat up from the bed, glanced out the window, the sky was already dark, and he put on a purple cloth jacket and walked out of the warm quilt.

The snow outside has melted, and the old brothers who have not been long after joining Wang Gong Bureau led by Zhu Zhongyi of Baihu have already begun to practice flintlock pistols.

After the Jurchens retreated, Zhu Shun's second uncle Zhu Zhongyi was promoted two levels in a row because of his meritorious service, and the Zhengqipin General Banner was promoted to the Zhengliupin Hundred Households, and became the head of the garrison of Wang Gongju.

Zhu Shun, who had more credit, originally intended to be promoted to the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau, but Zhu Shun exchanged this credit for a more practical reward.

I asked for a piece of land near Xishan, which was not big, only about ten acres of land.

Xishan is close to the Yongding River, and the ten acres of land that Zhu Shun wants are on the edge of the Yongding River, which belongs to the high-grade watered fields, and in the past, one acre of land could be sold for seventy or eighty taels of silver.

Now you can't sell a penny of silver or an acre, and ten acres of land only need to cost one or two pieces of silver, which makes Chongzhen feel that he is a little picky.

That piece of land was the place where Zhu Shun used to build a new-style school, only thirty miles away from Wang Gongju, Zhu Shun walked out of the public hall and rode a donkey to that land.

The great merit was exchanged for a tael of silver, and Chongzhen really felt that he couldn't go, so he rewarded Zhu Shun with a donkey that was easy to feed.

It's not that he doesn't reward him with Liaodong horses, and it's not that he doesn't give him four palanquins, with Zhu Shun's current family background, even if he rewards him, he can't afford to raise it.

The donkey was dressed up beautifully by Zhu Shun's father, with a brass bell hanging around his neck and a small red cloth tied to his tail.

The male donkey became more pretty than the female donkey.

Zhu Shun rode this little donkey, marching on the official road, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "We also have a car." ”

Coming to the location of the new-style school, Zhu Shun led the donkey and walked over, looking at the surrounding environment, extremely satisfied.

To the west is the surging Yongding River, to the east is a flat and open field, and in the distance, a hazy outline of a mountain.

Zhu Shun tied the donkey to the wooden stake at the door, pushed open the gate made of two cedar pillars, and entered the new-style school with only two thatched houses.

The thatched hut was built by Zhu Zhongyi of 100 households arranged by the sergeants, and it only took seven or eight days to build it.

There was a fence around the courtyard, and Zhu Shun didn't let the sergeants build it, so he took two disciples to build the fence by himself.

Zhu Shun walked into the fence courtyard, and the two disciples squatted on the ground and laid a layer of green bricks on the fence courtyard.

With this layer of green bricks, the fence yard will not become muddy because of the rain on rainy days.

There is a well in the middle of the fence yard, and there are two couplets next to it.

The two wooden couplets were carved with a couplet written by Zhu Shun, which cost the lacquer workers of the Ordnance Bureau to dye the color.

The green bricks still need a maximum of incense time, and they are about to be completed, Zhu Shun walked into his thatched house, sat in front of the bookcase and continued to compile the teaching materials, and asked the two disciples to finish laying the green bricks.

In front of the window, I only listened to the sound of the tip of the pen falling on the paper.

Outside the window, two teenagers were paved with green bricks.

A sense of serenity and tranquility slowly circulated in the fenced yard.

After about a stick of incense, Zhu Shun put down the brush in his hand and walked out: "Shihui Shiyi, go and move the ladder over." ”

The two teenagers happily carried the ladder to the door.

Zhu Shun climbed the ladder, hung couplets on both sides of the gate, and hung the plaque of the new-style school.

Kyoto University Hall.

Zhu Shun walked down the ladder and looked at the plaque with satisfaction, and the auspicious time was almost over: "Shihui, let's light the cannonball." ”

Song Shihui took the fire fold and lit a plate of red cannonballs, and in a festive sound of 'crackling', the first modern school was established.

Though.

There are only two thatched huts, and there are three masters and apprentices.
