With the advent of winter, the construction of Louguan Academy has also come to an end, and the projects everywhere are being completed. The playground also needs to be leveled and compacted, the exterior walls of the classrooms need to be painted white, and carpenters are installing doors and windows. The wooden shelves and beds in the dormitory building are being moved and assembled, and the custom-made futon has been urged three times. The pot stove in the canteen was designed by Su Ren himself, and the huge iron pot would quickly become hot under the firewood, which was much better than the original copper tripod.

The most important and the first library to be built is the most important, relying on the face of Dong Zhongshu and the Wen Party, and with the help of Dou Ying, Tai Shiling reluctantly agreed to move out the bamboo slips buried in the warehouse that were about to fall apart to dry, and by the way, use the workshop of the Han Newspaper to print. Beautiful books are turned from bamboo slips into books, and then put into the library for students to read here.

In order to ensure that Louguan Academy can successfully recruit students, the emperor can be said to have taken great pains, and sent someone to send the made plaque over last month. The six big characters of the glittering Louguan Academy instantly blinded the eyes of the people of Chang'an. Before the enrollment began, groups of royal nobles with gifts in carriages and their sons couldn't wait to visit.

Others don't know the meaning of the six words of the Imperial Building, but the relatives of the emperor understand it very well. With these six words, it means that this is the emperor's territory, and the students taught by the emperor's territory are naturally the emperor's students. Hanging the name of the emperor's student will definitely not be bad for Yin to make up for an official in the future, and even Princess Guantao asked for someone to find someone and wanted to send Chen Xu in.

Su Ren was in no mood to pay attention to those people, so he specially transferred the master father Yan over to help. Dahan Bao has now become the home of Sima Xiangru and his wife, and the main father stayed there purely as a light bulb. Besides, the Dahan newspaper has been on the track, is there a master father who has little effect, can go to Louguan Academy to do things, and be shouted as a teacher by those future officials of the Han Dynasty, and you can imagine what kind of treatment it will be when you re-enter the court in the future, at least it will not be lower than your own students, right?

In addition to the royal relatives, there are also courtiers. Although the birth rate of the population at that time was not very high, it could not stand up to marrying a few more wives and concubines, and those who had the ability to have at least one or two sons in the family, if it was less, it would be strange. The imperial relatives had no opinion on the courtiers sending their children in, but when the children of merchants, farmers, and craftsmen were allowed to enter the academy, a wave of protests immediately rose.

Under the strict social hierarchy, people at the higher level and people at the lower level do not speak, let alone eat and sleep at the same table, let alone receive the same education. Not to mention anything else, if the son of a certain prince does not learn well as the son of a craftsman, he will not become the laughing stock of the world. After the protest was dismissed, the high-ranking people did a consistent thing, that is, they told their son that they must not let the lintel be discredited. Some even threatened not to enter the ancestral grave.

Although it was just a sign up, the scene was already a grand mess, and almost half of the people in Chang'an went to Louguan Academy. If it weren't for Emperor Liu Che being too busy, he would have come to see the future of the Han Dynasty. With the arrival of so many people, the path between Chang'an and Louguantai has been expanded outward by several meters, and the road construction has been saved by taking advantage of the dryness of winter.

Dong Zhongshu smiled, no longer doubting the possibility of becoming a generation of grandmasters, standing at the door all day long, rain or shine, all the students who came to sign up bowed deeply when they saw him, in exchange for a few comforts and praises.

Wen Dang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Ziheng! With the academy and the students, where do the teachers come from? From the old man's point of view, there are no less than 1,000 applicants during this time, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to teach alone? ”

Su Ren smiled slightly: "Teacher, don't worry, this may be on the road, and it will definitely be settled before the year." ”

"You still don't want to say who they are?"

Su Ren smiled: "Keep it secret for the time being, and the teacher will naturally understand it after seeing it." ”

Everything is packed up and just waiting for the start of the New Year. In order to ensure that there are no mistakes, the facilities in the college are undergoing final commissioning. The water conveyance road directly from the back mountain into the water tower is intercepted to check whether there is a possibility of water leakage. Is the biogas used in the canteen enough to be used by more than a dozen large stoves? There are no missing uniforms and identification badges for students. Everything is busy and dizzy.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, the first batch of teachers from Shuzhong and Qingzhou have finally arrived. They belong to the representatives of Confucianism, they were all invited by Dong Zhongshu and the Wen Party last year, and several of them were surnamed Kong, and Su Ren naturally understood where they came from. The arrival of these people made the academy lively, and under the reception of Dong Zhongshu and the Wen Party, a large group of Confucian students lived a particularly comfortable life, especially for some people who voluntarily carried forward Confucianism.

Representatives of soldiers, legalists, celebrities, yin and yang families, farmers, Taoists, and doctors came one after another. No one knows how Su Ren invited these people, and no one knows where these people have been since Qin, anyway, Su Ren found them all. Among them, Zhuang Qingzhai and Han Anguo are the most surprising. They were people who were dismissed by the imperial court, and such people were put into the academy to make Dong Zhongshu and Wen Dang very unhappy, and they tried to find Su Ren's theory several times, but Su Ren avoided it under various excuses.

Su Ren hid in his office to draw up the class schedule, Dong Zhongshu pushed the door and came in, with a black face, Su Ren immediately understood what was going on. hurriedly threw down the things in his hand and saluted Dong Zhongshu with a smile: "Father-in-law is here, the kid will pour water for you!" ”

"No, the old man just wants an explanation."

"Hehe, my father-in-law and teacher, Mr. Kong, and Mr. Gongsun are all doctors appointed by His Majesty, and they are the biggest people in this academy, what else do you need to explain to the kid? It's all up to my father-in-law. ”

"Humph! Say one thing and do another, the old man doesn't eat this set, today the old man put his words here, this academy was built by the old man with hard work, there are no old husbands, there are old men without them! ”

Su Ren slandered in his heart: How did it become what you worked so hard to build, one did not pay for it, and the other did not contribute, this is really a big statement. Although he thought so in his heart, he smiled on his face: "Since my father-in-law said so, the kid will give you an explanation, or is it that sentence, my father-in-law thinks that everything in the world can be governed by Confucian classics?" ”

"That's nature! Confucianism governs the country with virtue, and the monarch is a blessing for the people to be virtuous, and the natural wind and rain are smooth and the world is peaceful. ”

Su Ren smiled: "In this case, the kid dared to ask his father-in-law, if a foreign enemy invades, how should Confucianism deal with it?" ”

"Convince people with virtue!"

"What if you can't take it? Just like the Huns, what about it? ”

"Then send a large army to extinguish it, and never suffer in the future!"

"The army! Does Confucianism know how to dispatch troops and how to distribute grain and grass? When to march, when to camp, when to attack, when to retreat? ”

Su Ren said several times in one breath, Dong Zhongshu was asked, and he didn't speak for a long time: "This kind of thing has its own general to do, why should others think about it?" ”

"Since there is only Confucianism in the world, and the great general is also a Confucian, and the father-in-law is a great Confucian in the world, how much can a Confucian general know?"

"The soldier is acceptable, what is the use of the Taoist?" couldn't say Su Ren, Dong Zhongshu changed the topic. In fact, the last thing he wanted was Zhuang Qingzhai alone, in the previous dispute between Taoism and Confucianism, many Confucians were excluded by Taoism, and even died unexpectedly, and Taoism naturally became enemies in the eyes of Confucianism.

Su Ren smiled and helped Dong Zhongshu to sit down: "Okay, my father-in-law!" There is no one in the world who can say clearly, the early Han Dynasty Taoism also did a lot of good things, the world was peaceful during the period of the second emperor Wenjing, although the people were not rich, at least they could eat and dress warmly, it can be seen that Taoism also has its own strengths, father-in-law can not dislike a person and abandon learning, if the father-in-law can let Zhuang Qingzhai leave by himself in learning, the kid has no two words! ”

"That's what you said!"

Su Ren smiled and nodded. He is now a referee, wandering among a group of masters, neither can cause them to be too infighting, nor can they be too close, as long as it is academic competition, Su Ren still wants to see it. Only in this way will they not hide it privately, but will teach them all their skills and accumulate more experience for future generations.

Just sent Dong Zhongshu away, Zhuang Qingzhai came again. Since the old man came to the academy, he has naturally suffered a lot from white eyes, who let them rely on the majesty of the empress dowager to almost force Confucianism into a desperate situation a few years ago, killing a lot of Confucians, not to mention, even the knowledge of other princes and hundreds of schools of learning. That's when I realized what I had done at that time.

Zhuang Qingzhai was more polite than Dong Zhongshu, and with a smile on his face, he gave Su Ren a salute first. Su Ren hurriedly gave up his seat: "Mr. is still used to living?" If you feel unwell, just give them to Hu Ji and say, Mr. can come and thank Mr. for Your Majesty. ”

Zhuang Qingzhai saluted again: "Zi Heng's words are serious, the old man treats the sinful body, and he is happy to be able to come to the academy to dream, everything is fine, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with." ”

"That's good, as long as Mr. teaches a few more good students, Your Majesty will naturally be able to understand Mr.'s hard work."

Zhuang Qingzhai nodded heavily, took a sip of tea, and stopped talking.

Su Ren said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, the kid has already told his father-in-law just now, they won't embarrass Mr. anymore, as for the academic competition, it naturally has to rely on Mr. himself, and the kid must not say too much in this regard." ”

Zhuang Qingzhai let out a sigh: "Ziheng doesn't care about his past suspicions, the old man is grateful!" There is one more thing, I hope Ziheng can bear with it. ”

"Sir, please."

"Hey!" Zhuang Qingzhai sighed: "My few unsuccessful students almost ......harmed the old man out of grievances against the old man."

Without waiting for Zhuang Qingzhai to finish speaking, Su Ren hurriedly waved his hand: "This matter has been revealed, as long as they can make some contributions to the academy, the kid will never mention it again, so there should be no such thing." ”

Zhuang Qingzhai's tears almost came out, and he took Su Ren's hand and didn't know what to say: "Ziheng Hengdu, the old man is not as good!" ”

When the two were at their strongest, the master father ran in and said thoughtlessly: "Coming, coming!" The long-awaited man is here! ”
