Chapter 149: Demolition of the State Pastoral Mansion
In the afternoon, Zhang Jie took Dian Wei to the academy, although Cai Yong did not wait to see this son-in-law. But he still admires Zhang Jie very much, he can mix from a common person to the first candidate in the world, and he can do it with these things.
And Zhang Jie attaches great importance to education, which makes him a university scholar of course more like. It's just that Cai Yan was snatched by him, and he was always uncomfortable in his heart. So I haven't been waiting to see Zhang Jie.
Seeing Cai Yong, Zhang Jie bowed and said: The son-in-law has seen his father.
Cai Yongdao: I'm back, the old man is looking for you, this academy now has more than 400 students, and this courtyard is too few, hundreds of people are too crowded to hold classes in one class, and some county students living in the academy are even more crowded. So you have to expand the academy again, this yard is good, but the back garden takes up a lot of space, or the back garden is demolished and built into a house.
Zhang Jie said: How beautiful the back garden is, it's a pity to tear it down. There is a back garden, so students can take a walk in the garden after class.
Zhang Jie looked at the courtyard wall and said, "Who's next door?" I bought him and demolished the courtyard wall, so that the two courtyards were connected, and I think the courtyard next door is not smaller than this courtyard, and the two families together should be enough.
Cai Yongdao: It seems that Mrs. Li is guarding the family. But if the two families together are enough. Li Qing's family? This is easy to do, I will let him move in a moment to make room for the college.
Cai Yongdao: Can Li Taishou be willing?
Zhang Jie said with a smile: Education comes first in the century-old plan, if you always fancy my state pastoral mansion, even if I demolish my state pastoral mansion, I have to move! Don't worry, I'll let Li Qing agree.
Cai Yongnian said: A century-old plan, education first. Well, yes, it's a wise saying. It seems that some students will have to be recruited.
Zhang Jie's heart is dripping blood, and he is recruiting back, which is much more expensive than raising soldiers. Zhang Jie said: You always look at it! Charge as many students as you can teach! I am smashing the pot and selling iron, and I fully support you.
Cai Yongdao: It's easy to do with you, but this student is easy to recruit, but this teacher is not easy to find!
Zhang Jiedao: I have an idea. Now it is a problem for many small officials in the imperial court in Luoyang to eat with their families, and Yulu may be gone long ago. With your old reputation, it shouldn't be difficult to recruit some down-and-out officials to teach in Yecheng, right? There are also some officials who are at home, and they have nothing to do at home.
You always write letters to them, let them come to Yecheng to be a teacher, and tell them that if they are willing to take refuge in Hebei, they can also go out in Jizhou! For example, Lao Shangshu Lu Zhi and others, Huangfu Song and others, you can always summon them. Jie also plans to open a military academy to train military talents. Students who have graduated from military academies and enter the army can directly become officers above the rank of commander.
It would be great if Lu Shangshu and General Huangfu Song could come.
Cai Yongdao: Your idea is not bad, I don't know if Lu Zigan can come, but I can recruit some talents.
When I went back, I wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Luoyang and other places. Zhang Jiedao: Father, I have to make a request for you.
Cai Yongdao: What are the requirements?
Zhang Jiedao: First, you teach students more practical knowledge of the place. Less scripture poetry. More practical talents, less nerds.
There is also a need to clearly tell the students that what they eat, use, live, and can come to school here is given by me Zhang Jie, and I have to let them know who they are loyal to! Don't end up running to other places, then we'll lose a lot.
Cai Yongdao: I have my own opinions on what knowledge to teach, you don't have to ask. As for the second question, if you don't say it, I'll tell them too. I'm not old yet.
Zhang Jie thought to himself, I'm really afraid that you will be confused! But he still smiled: I don't have to worry about your work, if there is a treasure in the family, the ancients will not deceive me. Cai Yong was furious, am I that old?
Zhang Jie said: That's okay, you're still very young, why don't I find you a few more concubines? … Cai Yong was furious! Get lost!
Zhang Jie ran away obediently. Then pick up my son and go home. Zhang Jicai looked like Zhang Jie at the age of six or seven, which made Zhang Jie like it even more, but Zhang Jie never showed it. The little guy let the gentlemen teach him to be knowledgeable, and said to Zhang Jie: The child has seen his father.
Zhang Jie said: There is something to do when I came to the academy for my father, so I will take you home by the way.
Then Zhang Jie took his son home. When he returned home, Zhang Jie called someone to find Li Qing.
Zhang Jie said to Li Qingdao: That's right, there is not enough place in the academy, and now there are more and more students, and your house happens to be next door to the academy, so I plan to let you move. Open up your yard and let the students make it a college.
Zhang Jie said again: Don't worry, I won't let you suffer, wait for a few years to move to Luoyang, I will let Luoyang let you choose first, and I will give it to you if you like that yard. What do you think? What's the difficulty?
Li Qing thought to himself, you said so, can I not agree? Li Qingdao: Since it is a college to use, then Qing will move. The lord allowed the Qing to choose land in Luoyang, which was also a blessing for the Qing. The lord doesn't have to worry about it, I'll move tomorrow.
Zhang Jiedao: Have you thought about where to move? Why don't I help you find it?
Li Qingdao: Let's move to the backyard of Taishou Mansion! Although there are some officials living in it, there are still many houses that are enough to live in. Zhang Jiedao: That's fine. I've wronged you, so let's talk to my family. Let them understand more. Rest assured, I will remember what you did today. I will compensate you in the future.
Li Qingdao: The lord is polite, and his subordinates dare not take it.
After settling the affairs of the academy, Zhang Jie returned to Cai Yan's room, and Zhang Jie said: Yan'er, the affairs of the academy have finally been completed. Father should be pleased.
Cai Yan smiled and said: You demolished Li Taishou's house, Li Taishou won't hate us, right? Zhang Jie smiled: Don't worry, Li Qing is much smarter than you think, and I learned it when I was a county magistrate. It's just that he's low-key. So it seems a little honest. I'll make it up to him later.
Then Zhang Jie picked up Cai Yan and walked to the bed.
Cai Yan said: The old husband and wife are getting more and more out of shape. Zhang Jie said: You don't want me after being separated for so long! Cai Yan said: What do you want you to do? You have so many women who want to be the only one who wants to be me. Zhang Jiedao: They are them. Yan'er is Yan'er, you will always be my only one, and you will never change. We're married. In the future, even if they die, they will be buried together.
Cai Yan's heart was full of sweetness. The two of them encountered the fire and tossed for a long time before falling asleep.
The next day, Tian Feng and others came to Zhang Jie to discuss matters. Zhang Jie originally planned to rest for a few days, but when he remembered that Tian Feng might have something important to discuss, he was afraid that Tian Feng would commit another crime, so he could only go to the discussion.
In the hall, Zhang Jie said: What is the matter with Yuan Hao! Tian Fengdao: Cao Cao captured Nanyang, and Yuan Shu seems to have made a move to claim the emperor. Seeing that the lord had just returned, he didn't come to disturb, but Feng really couldn't wait so he took matters into his own hands to discuss with the lord.
