The Taixue construction site is well staffed and properly managed. What Su Ren drew on paper is being realized step by step. The high water tower has tested the water, and the effect is very good, the water is very smooth, but I don't know how long the copper pipe can be buried in the ground.

Taixue is the top priority of the entire construction site, and under the supervision of Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang, it should definitely be the first to be completed. At present, the prototype is already there. Construction of all the houses has begun, and artificial lakes are being excavated. At the same time, the river water after the diversion went around both sides of Taixue, re-converged, and flowed out of the city. The river was a wide street, and according to Su Ren's design, it was at least as wide as two carriages running side by side.

The inner side of the street is the shop facing the street, in order to make good use of all the resources, the shop is not big, each household has two rooms in the front and back, the back is lived, and the front sells goods, tight and reasonable. For the design of the shop, Su Ren adopted the design of the arcade. The advantage of this is that it is not likely to affect the business whether it is windy or rainy. It can also avoid pedestrians walking onto the main road and obstructing traffic.

The elaborate houses, all hidden behind the shops. Su Ren used the construction concept of the community in later generations, and only set aside a few gates in the middle of the shops as the gate of the community. Inside, there are still villas with individual courtyards, and the greenery and roads, running water, and even carriage parking are planned. It also allows the wealthy people of Dahan to feel the convenience of property management.

Watching his work take shape day by day, it would be a lie to say that there is no pride. In the past two days, Su Ren's favorite thing to do is to stand on top of the high water tower and look down on the Taixue construction site, as if watching his children grow up little by little.

Hawking came to the bottom of the water tower and shouted at it: "Big brother, come down, Mr. Sima has something to do with you!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"The matter of the merit monument, the stone has been obtained, let you go and take a look!"

Under the protection of Huang Shisan and several guards, Su Ren climbed down little by little. Standing high and looking far, but ignoring that it is winter, standing on the top of the water tower for a morning, blowing the wind all morning, even if it is thick, it is also numb from the cold, and it can not be relieved for a long time.

A huge white marble boulder, about one zhang high, five feet wide, and one foot behind. This was found by Cui Chengru from the Qinling Mountains with a lot of effort. This stone is good, huge but white as jade, without the slightest flaw, and it looks likeable. Reaching out and touching it, it was cold and biting, and it was really a good thing.

"Good, good! Mr. Cui has worked hard this time! ”

Cui Chengru waved his hand: "It's also a coincidence, the old man looked for a few days, and he found it, nothing else, it took a lot of effort to transport it back, if it wasn't for Mr. Su to come out, make a simple trailer, and it would take an estimated month to carry it by people!" ”

"Carving insect skills, stone mining will be the capital, don't praise me!"

After looking at the stones, let the stonemasons carve according to the designed drawings, and several people returned to the command. Along the way, Sima Xiangru frowned, and as soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to say: "Sir, I still think that the ranking method you said is not good!" Then there will be a big problem with the platoon! ”

"What's wrong?"

"According to the donation time, many petty officials are patted in front of those marquises, and the marquis will be unhappy, if there is a trouble, we are afraid that it will be difficult to explain!"

"Who made them run slower? Since everyone is donating, then treat everyone equally, who donated early, naturally in front, there is no marquis or anything else here, only the order, if you think it is inappropriate, just add a sentence in front to explain the situation! ”

"This?" Sima Xiang looked at Dong Zhongshu, Wen Dang, and Cui Chengru as if asking for help.

Cui Chengru is a businessman and knows the truth that the powerful are not easy to mess with. nodded with a smile: "What Mr. Sima said makes sense, it is indeed inappropriate to rank the marquis behind the chief, the status is still very important, we can't let others say that we don't distinguish between dignity and inferiority, then this merit monument will become a joke!" Even if it is not according to the official position and title, it is okay to donate as much as you want. ”

Wen Dang also nodded: "Yes, take our Confucianism as an example, we also pay attention to monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, if we only follow the order, it will indeed be criticized!" ”

Su Ren didn't speak, and looked at Dong Zhongshu. Dong Zhongshu didn't speak, and it could be heard from everyone's words that no one agreed with Su Ren's approach, and even Leng Jun opened his mouth to oppose it. Twitter said that it would be easier to do, and Su Ren listened silently.

"Ahem!" Suddenly, Dong Zhongshu coughed, glanced at everyone, and put down the teacup in his hand: "In my opinion, it's not a big deal in order of priority, the person who hears the Tao has a precedence, and the person who can understand His Majesty's meaning for the first time is by no means a general, no one can say if he rises in the wind, just take Long Consideration, there is already news in the palace, and the Empress Dowager personally ordered that the title of Tangyi Hou will be left to him in the future!" ”

"The old man thought about it for a while, and arranged the names in order, there is no problem, as long as we don't mention their titles and official positions, so that we can avoid the indignation of those people because of the problems of titles and official positions, what do you think?"

Su Ren said with a smile: "What Mr. Dong said the kid didn't dare to disobey, so he did it!" ”

What else did Wen Dang have to say, Dong Zhongshu gave him a look, and the two old men got up and left. Sima Xiangru frowned, although what he said was fine, but no one knew what the result would be when the matter came to him. In case someone makes a fuss, I don't know if Su Ren can withstand it, but he Sima Xiangru will definitely not be able to withstand it. However, Su Ren has already made a decision, so he has to do what he says.

In just 15 days, ten stonemasons worked day and night, and finally got the merit monument out. The stele head of the dragon, the slender stele body. On the front is the eight big characters of Liu Che's handwriting: Virtue and Virtue, Hundred Years of Cultivation, this sentence was originally said by Su Ren. At the beginning, Su Ren asked Liu Che to write an inscription, and after thinking about it for a long time, Liu Che didn't agree with what to write on this monument. The emperor couldn't say the words of gratitude, and Liu Che didn't want to say it, and intimidation and lessons were even more inappropriate, so Su Ren said these eight words.

The first half of this sentence is from "Zhou Yi? Kun": The gentleman carries things with virtue. The second half of the sentence is from "Pipe? Quan Xiu": A one-year plan is like a tree valley; A ten-year plan is like a tree, and a lifelong plan is like a tree. It is not so much that this sentence is engraved on the merit tablet to praise those donors, but rather that it is placed at the gate of Taixue as the school motto of Taixue.

The back of the stele is densely packed with names, according to Su Ren's instructions, at the beginning of the first line, there is a line of small characters, written clearly, and the names and surnames at the bottom are arranged in the order of donation, and have nothing to do with official positions and titles. As soon as the merit monument was erected, it attracted great interest from those who donated money, and they did not come in person for the sake of face, and sent all their own henchmen.

The joy of seeing the name, the anxiety of the name not seen. When he found his master's name and surname, he was excited, turned around and squeezed outside: "Found it, found it!" Tired let let, let let! ”

I hurried home, and soon came back with a sad face. This time I looked very carefully, every word on the stele was seen clearly, and some people kept reciting it silently in their mouths in order to remember it clearly, causing a few boys around to shout loudly, and they were not allowed to shout the name and surname of their master on the street. The silent chant hurriedly apologized, and continued to read in his heart in a low voice.

When Chen Xu heard that he was the first in line, his heart was tight, and he asked the little guy sent to see the monument: "Are you mistaken, we don't have high-ranking officials and lords, and we don't donate the most money, how can we be the first?" ”

The little guy hurriedly said: "The villain can see it clearly, the name and surname of the son are in the first, it is clear, and there is the amount of money behind, the tablet says that this time the order is according to the order of donating money, not according to the title, the duke's back is not engraved with the title and official position, only the name and surname and the amount of money donated!" ”

"Oh! I see! Chen Yi relaxed a little, and suddenly thought of something: "Can you see your mother's name and surname?" ”

When the little girl heard this, she quickly restrained her smile and lowered her head. Chen Yi knew that something was going on, so he glared at the little guy: "Say!" ”

The little girl swallowed: "The eldest princess's name and surname are on it, and the villain has also seen it, but it's just ......!" ”

"Just what?"

The little girl looked at Chen Yi timidly, and then said: "Because the eldest princess is the last person to donate money, his name is the last!" "Speaking of the back, it's almost audible.

Chen Yi was a little unsteady on his feet, and he felt like the world was spinning. This joke is a big joke, the son is already a big rebel before the mother, not to mention, the son is the first, and the mother is the last. With such a gap, no one believes that Su Ren didn't mean it. A few days ago, this Taixue merit monument has been in an uproar, and there must be a lot of people who see the monument today, and this will make them the laughing stock of the Chen family and the Princess Pavilion Tao's mansion!

Liu Concubine also sent someone to see it, and when she heard that her name was the last one, Liu Concubine was very angry. Hearing that her son was the first, Concubine Liu almost demolished the princess's mansion. This is Su Ren's humiliation of him, this matter must not be endured, and he immediately ordered the family in the house to protect the courtyard and smash the merit monument. Before the people left, Chen Yi came, and when he saw Princess Guantao, Chen Yi immediately knelt down.

Liu Yan said viciously: "You are really my good son, have you learned to unite with outsiders to humiliate me?" ”

"The mother is angry, but the child has no such intention! The child really doesn't know about this, please mother to find out! ”

"I also know clearly, I'm going to smash that merit monument and see what he Su Ren can do to me?"

"Mother!" Chen Yi hugged Liu Yan's leg: "Absolutely not, the front of the merit monument is written by His Majesty, and my mother must not be impulsive!" ”

"A little businessman, dare to bully me, where is the face of our princess's mansion? Don't say it's written by His Majesty, it's written by the Queen Mother, and I'm going to do it today! I don't care about you! Kicking Chen Yi over, Liu Yan stepped out of the door.
