The university is a new thing, and in the land of China, where the Confucian wind has been blowing for thousands of years, the university will definitely be unaccustomed to the soil and water when it first appears.

Leave it to others to do it, and it will carry some of the habits of the old academy in the open and secret, but only the Tujia general in front of him will not.

First of all, he grew up in the Tusi Nest, did not read the Four Books and Five Classics, and did not go to the academy;

secondly, he is very loyal to himself, has no other communication, will not be affected by chaos, and will run the school strictly according to his own ideas;

In the end, he was very ruthless and could hold the scene, because everyone was afraid of him, which could reduce a lot of trouble.

Peng Zhuze was confused, so he changed from a military general to a civilian, the turn was too big and too fast, and he was still dizzy when he went down the mountain, and almost fell down.

Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and snickered, and said in a playful voice: "Brother Peng is going to be a teacher, hehe." ”

With a crisp snap and rippling hips, Hou Xuanyan scolded with a smile: "Big chest and brainless, what do you know, this is my strategy, it can be said to be very powerful." ”

Hou Xuanyan, who is very powerful, only began to build the school after discovering the principal. The school site was selected in Suzhou, a prosperous world, and the Ministry of Engineering was dispatched to select and transfer personnel to build the school building, and it is expected that the students will be recruited after the autumn.

Outside the city of Gusu, a turquoise river passes through the city, and willow and poplar trees are interlaced beside the white-walled and black-tiled houses on both sides.

The bright spring light shines in the river, sparkling, and it is no worse than the twenty-eight beauties in the boudoir.

Suzhou, as the eastern capital, has a higher level of civil and military officials, especially Xia Yunyi, who has the highest rank. With the merits of two generations of father and son, Xia Yunyi occupies one of the five founding princes, and now he is also the governor of the eight provinces in Jiangnan of the imperial court.

He was accompanied by a group of people from the Craftsman Museum, preparing to choose a site to build a school.

"'Ling Bo is not Hengtang Road, but he is gone. Who is the year of Jinsehua? Yueqiao Flower Courtyard, Zhuhu Window, only Spring Knowledge. 'In ancient times, many poems in Suzhou were covered by He Sanchou's words. Choosing a site to build a school in such a place is a bit extravagant for the officials. "Xia Yunyi is not very enthusiastic about the university, and always feels that it is the product of His Majesty's assumptions.

Liu Zhihong, the chief of the Suzhou Craftsman Museum, was unconvinced, but he didn't dare to speak out, and said with a bit of hardness in his tone: "This matter was planned by His Majesty himself, and the Duke of Guo also knows that His Majesty's vision has always been higher than ours, maybe it will be a beautiful thing that will be passed down through the ages after it is completed." ”

Since the newspaper reported on the university, the most excited thing is the students and teachers of the Craftsman Hall, who are likely to enter directly.

With the degree of favor that His Majesty has for the Craftsman Pavilion today, it is even very likely that he will be promoted from it, and the craftsmen everywhere will be honored.

Xia Yunyi didn't argue with him either, since this matter involved the saint, he had to be cautious in his words and deeds.

Although he is a veteran figure of the Restoration Division, Xia Yunyi is never ambiguous in this kind of trivial matter, these well-educated Confucians, familiar with history books, several heroes of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Taizu Gao, which is not the same life and death, the slightest carelessness is a tragic annihilation.

Although it is said that Jinshang treats the heroes with kindness and generosity, there are no hard knives, and there are many soft knives.

At the beginning, Yang Zhan played a triumphant song all the way from Hanzhong to Datong, Shanxi, and saw that he was about to go out of the customs to pacify Manchuria, and he didn't let His Majesty call Jinling for half a year.

Li Haoxian, the Duke of Qi who had the first meritorious service in the Northern Expedition, deserves to be His Majesty's first confidant, and his friendship with the emperor is not deep, and he stayed in Jinling for most of the time after the success of the Northern Expedition.

As an emperor, how can you not have a heart of prevention, as a courtier, you should be more cautious in your words and deeds, which is the way to protect yourself.

Xia Yunyi led a group of people from the Craftsman Hall to continue to select the site, and finally settled on Shiquan Street in Suzhou.

Because there are ten clear springs here, it is named, and the deep house compounds on both sides are lined up one after another. In the book "Eighteen Scenes of the Waves", it is recorded: "According to legend, during the Chunxi period, there was a great drought in the south of the Yangtze River, and the man-made wells were here, and there were ten eyes, trickling and crystalline, warm in winter and cool in summer, not overflowing, so everyone was happy and the drought went. The street is prosperous because of the spring, the spring is because of the name of the street, and the name of the ten springs street has spread far and wide. ”

The main reason is that there are many gardens here, which can save a lot of construction costs, and most of these gardens are public.

When the Manchu Qing Dynasty went south and Suzhou City fell, many wealthy families suffered heavy casualties, and there were many who defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, and were liquidated and destroyed by Hou Xuanyan. Their gardens have become the official property of the imperial court, and Shiquan Street is the place with the most these buildings.

Liu Zhihong was very satisfied with the scenery here, and asked happily: "Since this street has been decided, why don't you play the Son of Heaven tonight, so you can start construction as soon as possible." ”

"Well, after the official goes back, he will write a chapter and report it, and your craftsman hall will be ready to send someone to help build it at any time. Eighty percent of this matter has to take the road of "bidding", and I think it is difficult for others to compete for the Gu family. ”

Liu Zhihong smiled knowingly, the Gu family is wealthy, and he is a relative of the emperor, and he is the source of income when His Majesty raised the army. As long as they make a move, they will rarely leave his house behind, and there are even rumors that the school was built in Suzhou this time to take care of the family.

In Gu's mansion, it is still as luxurious as it was back then, Gu Youde is holding two night pearls in his hands, and he is very happy.

People say that the only way to spend time when you are old is Go and the drums. Chess is a tired game, and the piano is tuned due to weak arms.

This sentence does not apply to Gu Youde, the older this guy gets, the stronger he becomes, the crane is red and energetic, and only when he looks at his two sons will he show fatigue.

These two sons disappointed him too much, one was short-sighted, and he couldn't keep the big business if he could make a small fortune; A hanger, a vain and prodigal gentleman.

is still a little promising, and he has mixed with the high-ranking officials of the six Shangshu, but he is too old-fashioned, or too righteous

Gu Youde did not doubt it at all, as long as the Gu family had any unforgivable crimes, it must be Gu Shouzheng who took the lead in reporting and punishing the Gu family.

"Ugh." Gu Youde sighed.

Gu Shouye was thinking about the establishment of the university, and his family could be Zhuang Yibi again, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and it all appeared on his face. Hearing his own sigh, he asked puzzledly, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

"It's not that you two can't make it, you Lao Tzu and I will be annoyed when I see you."

Gu Shouzong's eye sockets were deep, his skin was sallow, and he looked like he was overly drunk, after listening to his father's words, he pouted and said disapprerovingly: "Dad, what is wrong with you, then our brother is angry, we deserve not to have a second brother's life, Your Majesty does not give us official duties, we can only hinder your eyes at home." ”

"Fart, you still want to be an official, your second brother is fourteen years old, you can't even read all the words now, it's good if you read a book and you can know half of it, you are still an official?"

As soon as Gu Shouye saw the appearance of the third child, he knew that he would not come forward, and the two of them were not finished, so he quickly interjected: "The third child, listen carefully, my father is also good for us." ”

Gu Shouzong shut up at this time, lowered his head and didn't speak, Gu Youde saw that he was soft, his face softened slightly, and said: "Our Gu family seems to have infinite scenery, but in fact, it only relies on the old man and a Ling'er to support it, and after I die, which of you can support this family business." ”

Gu Shouye smiled, like a lucky cat, squinted and smiled: "Dad, with Your Majesty here, what are you afraid of, he can still treat us badly." Over the years, the Gu family has accumulated more and more money, Gu Shouye is a traditional businessman, almost instinctively loves money, and he feels comfortable when he sees money.

The third interjected at this time: "That is, without our Gu family, can Your Majesty conquer the country, I don't know what you are afraid of." ”

Gu Youde was furious, and threw the night pearl in his hand directly on the third son, making him scream in pain.

"Evil animal, how many times have I told you, this kind of thing must not be spoken, even in the mind, there should be no such thoughts." Gu Youde is nearly seventy years old, and he is still like King Kong angrily, very powerful, so frightened that the third child does not dare to speak.

"If you do this, you may kill us." Gu Youde hated iron and said: "We will not bid for the establishment of the university this time, if it occupies our place, we will sell it to the imperial court at the lowest price." ”

Gu Shouye was anxious all of a sudden, and hurriedly said: "Why, Dad, this is a large amount of silver." ”

"What we want to do is the wealthy family of Dahua, not the biggest landlord, it's okay to let your daughter-in-law go to the palace to see Ling'er more, and bring some medicinal food to nourish the body and get pregnant." Gu Youde's eyes flashed, and he said: "At our point, money is just a tool, if you take it as a goal, the pattern is too small." ”

One of the two sons was heartbroken, and the other didn't care, obviously he didn't listen to his golden and jade words in his heart, Gu Youde looked at the two of them, he was angry, and scolded: "Get out!" ”

---------

In the Forbidden City of Jinling, the catkins are flying, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, when he first lived in the palace, the flowers and plants planted by Hou Xuanyan have blossomed and borne fruit.

The courteous little palace maid in the imperial garden is like a butterfly wearing flowers, bringing fresh seasonal melons and fruits to the pavilion in the center of the lake.

Hou Xuanyan sat in the center, and Bian Saisai was dressed in white, like a hibiscus out of the water, with a natural carved appearance, and the water was incomprehensible. Holding the pipa in his arms, wisps of elegant and light voices rippled out from the lower strings.

Hou Xuanyan casually picked up a fruit bowl, with cut fruit pieces on it, and a small bamboo skewer was inserted on each piece, which could be eaten by grabbing it.

"Huh.." Feeling the strange taste, Hou Xuanyan looked down and saw that it was a piece of dragon fruit.

"Where did this thing come from?"

The palace maid on the side stepped forward and said, "Back to Your Majesty, according to Gonggong Li, this is the tribute fruit of Jingnan's tribute." ”

Siam in Jingnan Province is later known as Thailand, and this dragon fruit was discovered from the American continent and spread to Asia by missionaries. The first to appear must have been the Nanyang and other places that were once colonized, and it seems that those God-given crops and melons and fruits in the Americas have spread around the world.

Hou Xuanyan quietly kept this matter in mind, and was ready to talk to the courtiers when he was free, and introduce it to China to try planting.

Huang Ying'er wrinkled her nose and said disappreciably: "It's just a novelty, it doesn't taste very good." ”

This picture of a foodie's face made everyone in the pavilion look like a show, especially Gu Ling'er didn't seem to care about her image.

Hou Xuanyan just wanted to help his monster break the siege, and Xiao Lizi said loudly outside: "Your Majesty, Lord Peng Zhuze outside the palace asks to see you." ”

"Oh? Let him go to the Warm Fang Pavilion, and I will be there later. ”

Peng Zhuze came to the palace in a hurry, because he had prepared his own team, and to be honest, let him be the principal, Peng Zhuze was not very willing.

He still likes the military camp, where is his favorite place, he has to be the head of a group of scholars, which makes Peng Zhuze a little confused.

But then came the envy and curious eyes of the people around him, which made Peng Zhuze a little useful, although this Tujia man has made great achievements, but he has always had some inferiority complex in his heart.

Hou Xuanyan drove the Nuanfang Pavilion, and as soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw Peng Zhuze standing there nervously and silently reciting something.

Hou Xuanyan chuckled lightly and said, "You came to see me, don't you do your homework at home, do you want to recite in this Warm Fang Pavilion?" ”

"Hehe, Your Majesty knows the minister's ability, my youngest daughter is more literate than the minister. This time, the plan was also made by his staff, but the minister also made up his mind that he would definitely run this university well for His Majesty. ”

Hou Xuanyan nodded and said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you are on the right track, you, the principal, will be like the door god posted on the wall, and put a name there, now that the border is unstable, I still want to use you." ”

This sentence touched Peng Zhuze's heart, and when he heard that he didn't have to be the principal for the rest of his life, Peng Zhuze was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Dying in battle for Your Majesty is what the minister wants all his life." ”

"It's better to change the death of the battle to the death, I don't want my favorite general to die at the hands of the enemy chieftain."

Hou Xuanyan flipped through Peng Zhuze's school construction plan, and in general, it was decent, so it was enough.

To build it first, Hou Xuanyan still needs to spend time slowly polishing it, so that this new-style school can completely replace the old academy.

"There is a recital from Suzhou, saying that the school site has been chosen, and in the picturesque Shiquan Street, it seems that Xia Yunyi has no other ideas this time."

Peng Zhuze asked puzzledly, "What other ideas?" ”

Hou Xuanyan's face turned straight, and he said in a condensed voice: "You remember, the rise of new things is bound to be surrounded and suppressed by old things. At this time, you, the principal, must protect your school and students just like on the battlefield, be ruthless and poisonous, and fight against all troublemakers. ”

Peng Zhuze grinned and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, how stubborn they can be, they are even more stubborn than the Southwest Millennium Toast." ”

Hou Xuanyan looked at his reaction, and secretly said that he didn't find the wrong person, and sometimes this kind of simple-minded character is needed to resist the game at the ideological level. But he still reminded him: "When these people talk about it, the time to dominate our Central Plains is no shorter than the time for Tusi to occupy the southwest." ”

Traditional ideas and old-fashioned rules are the precipitation of cultural dross over the past thousand years, and the degree of solidity is by no means something that Hou Xuanyan can pull over by himself.

Only by building universities everywhere, completely opening their eyes to the world, and leading people to abandon their inherent rigid thinking, can it be possible to emancipate the trend of thought, usher in a new rise of the nation, and maintain its fresh vitality.

This is a heavy and long way to go, Hou Xuanyan has just started, and he doesn't plan to eat a fat man in one bite.

After Peng Zhuze listened, he put away his arrogance and arrogance, and his heart was solemn, since His Majesty said such a thing, it means that this thing is really dangerous, and it seems that he really wants to take it seriously.
