It was early autumn, Yecheng had begun to take shape, and the craftsmen based on the "Craftsman Camp Country" in the method of testing work, and referred to the specifications of Chaoge, Xinjiang and other big cities, and planned this new main town of the Zhao family very properly. The main urban area of the www.biquge.info is located in the north of Zhangshui, far away from possible flooding, but does not affect the water supply of residents, and the palaces, residential areas, and workshops are all well designed, although many places are still hastily built shantytowns.

Generally speaking, the most magnificent and perfect place in the city should be the palace of the nobles, but Yecheng is different, when Zhao Wuxian first arrived in Yedi, he only renovated and expanded the original Yi Temple and let the two pregnant women in the family live in, and did not build a palace like the ordinary nobles, building a palace and pavilion.

In this regard, many retainers and diners have suggested that now the Zhao family is already three or four thousand times the king, and the people of the land even surpass the Qi country, and the palace must be grand enough to reflect the power of the Zhao family.

However, Zhao Wuxian was noncommittal, and he asked the retainers who proposed to build a palace: "If you build a high platform, how much silk will it cost?" Equivalent to the property of many households. ”

The public loser team and others replied, "It costs as much property as the property of 10 medium-sized families." ”

Zhao Wuxian smiled: "In this way, if you want to build a Qing family palace like the next palace, it will cost at least 1,000 medium-sized households, and if you want to build a vast project like the Qiqi Palace and Tongqi Palace, you will need to spend at least 10,000 medium-sized households!" This kind of thing that makes thousands of people ruin their homes for the sake of my own selfish desires, I don't do it! ”

Hearing this, the retainers and diners who proposed to build a palace room hurriedly bowed down to plead guilty, and Zhao Wuxian said to them earnestly: "I heard that when Duke Wen of Jin was the leader of the alliance, the Jiangdu palace was short and there was no pavilion to look at, but the pavilion that received the envoys of the princes was built tall and large, like the king's bedroom. The guests of the princes came, the Dians lit torches, and the servants patrolled the palace. So he felt at home, and the Jin Kingdom was hegemonic. ”

But when it came to the later Pinggong, Zhaogong, and Qinggong, the Qiqi Palace and the Tongqi Palace stretched for several miles, and the Jin Kingdom had a hundred years of hegemony, and the princes were given all the tributes, but they were like mud and sand. so that the pillars of the negative building are more than the peasants of the capital; There are more rafters than workers on the plane; Nail head phosphorus, more than in the millet grains; The tile seams are uneven, more than the silk strands around the body; The straight bar and horizontal sill are more than the city of the nine earths; The orchestra is dumb, more than the words of the city! In one day, between the houses, and the climate is not uniform......"

"But do these things allow the Jin Kingdom to maintain its hegemony? No! In order to build the palace, the Marquis of Jin increased his endowment and cut expenses in other places. So the envoys of the princes lived in a house like a hooligan, the door did not allow cars, thieves were more rampant in public, and the disease could not be prevented, and then the envoys of the princes gradually stopped coming to the Jin Kingdom, and the people also centrifuged, and the hegemony of the Jin Kingdom declined. Today, you want me to repeat the story of Pinggong, do you think the Zhao family is too prosperous? ”

Everyone was ashamed and bowed their heads to admit their mistakes.

Zhao Wuxian spread his hands to the public loss class and others, and said: "For the monarch, you must understand what you need most, I came to Yecheng, not to build a palace like King Chu Ling and Jin Pinggong, and to compare and enjoy with the princes." Therefore, the residence is enough for the family to live in, the clothes are warm and decent enough, and the meals are enough to satisfy the stomach. ”

He laughed at himself: "Anyway, I'm not as lustful and insatiable as the monarch, there are dozens of ladies and concubines, so why not live a little crammed, live next to each other, and the family can be more warm." After you waited, you saved the money and silk that were originally planned to build the palace pavilion, so that the migrating people could have more bricks and tiles, and more water from wells, which made me happier than building a few pavilions. The rest of the surplus money will be used for the construction of the school palace......"

……

This dialogue between Zhao Wuxian and his courtiers was adapted into a new genre "Tonglu Palace Fu", which begins with "Yu Yubi, Jizhou Yi, Huo Taiwu, Tongyu Out", summing up the historical lessons of the Jin State losing hegemony after Pinggong, and satirizing the extravagance of the Jin State Office that is still in Tongyu. At the end of the whole article, the style of painting changed, praising the new Shangqing Zhao Wuxian's frugality and rest with the people, in order not to break the wealth of ten households, and to repair the high platform and palace......

This catchy "Tonglu Gong Fu" soon spread throughout Yedi along with the soldiers who helped the immigrants build houses and dig well water.

The scholars and people who came to Yecheng for the first time were moved, and they also spread Zhao Wuxian's deeds more and more, such as Zhao Qing's favorite concubine, even if it was a pregnant lady and Xu Huan, who was about to marry, if it was an informal occasion, it was not possible to wear a long skirt that mopped the floor, and no embroidery was allowed on the tent. Even Zhao Shangqing himself only has two meals a day, and each meal is just one meat, two vegetables and one soup......

"Don't use one person's selfish desires to break the wealth of ten thousand families, Zhao Qing is virtuous." Even Ji Ran and others praised it sincerely, but Wang Sunsheng, Shi Qi and others secretly admired Zhao Wuxian's means of buying people's hearts, which had reached the level of perfection. The Jin office, which was under house arrest in Tongluo, unwittingly became the opposite angle of abusing the people's fat and people's ointment, and Zhao Qing was set off incomparably tall, if it continued to be publicized like this for a long time, it was only a matter of time before the people knew the Zhao family but did not know the Marquis of Jin.

Another chain reaction caused by this incident is that the Linzhang School Palace replaced the Zhao Palace, which was hastily completed because Zhao Qing was about to marry again, and became the largest, most solemn and most refined building in Yecheng.

……

"It covers an area of five hectares, the main building has one hundred and forty rooms, the scholar's residence is eight hundred and fifty rooms, and the lecture hall is ten zhang long and three zhang wide. Since the foundation stone was laid a year ago, 10,000 workers have been employed, and now it can accommodate thousands of people to attend school, and it can continue to expand along the banks of the Zhangshui River in the future......"

The construction scale of this "Linzhang School Palace" has reached an unprecedented level, the size is 1.5 times that of the Yuelu Academy in later generations, and it is far more than the area of educational institutions such as the "Piyong" of the current Zhou Tianzi and the "Pan Palace" of the princes.

The Piyong and Pan Palaces were not pure universities, but also courts, where nobles used to perform sacrifices, hold banquets, select samurai, and agree on battle plans. After winning the battle, he also came here to "sacrifice prisoners" and "make merit". Politics, sacrifices, and various activities of learning are all mixed together, and there is no professionalism and systematization of education, and the children of the princes and princes who enter the country are just to mix up a qualification, or to join the circle of young nobles in advance, and have no desire to learn.

However, Linzhang Xuegong is different, it is a purely government-run higher education institution, and from the first day of its establishment, it has a clear purpose! Just like the "school motto" written by Zhao Wuxian for the school palace!

On this day, a dusty young man, like countless scholars in the past few months, came to the gate of Linzhang School Palace.

He was about ten years old, excessively young, with straight eyebrows, a beautiful nose, a slightly dark complexion, traces of perennial wind and sunshine, dressed in the clothes of ordinary scholars going out to study, and carrying a sack on his shoulder. But after a few steps, the temperament shown in the gestures looks young and old.

This person's name is Bu Shang, is a native of Wen County, Jin Kingdom, this year just and the crown, because it is in the middle of summer to adulthood, Shang and Xia successively, so the word is "Zi Xia". They have been the Zhao family officials for generations, and they are also the last batch of immigrants who moved from Wen County to Yecheng, and they followed Zhao Wuxian's convoy to meet Ji Huan to go north, and everything was seen on the way, but Zhao Wuxian was busy, and he didn't have time to hear the name of this young man, nor did he talk to him.

But a sharp awl can't stay in your pocket for long, and sooner or later, it will show its edge......

Now that the group has just arrived in Yecheng, the wedding of Zhao Shangqing and "Xu Huan" will be held in three days. Zixia followed the elders around the Zhao Palace, and saw that the Zhao Palace was really as simple as rumored, and there was nothing to see, so he decided to take the time to come to the Zhangxue Palace to have a look.

He wanted to see if this place was really as the legend said, it was another holy place that scholars yearn for after the Zhou Room Guarding Room and the Qufu Apricot Forest.

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the ancestors, and open a peaceful ...... for all generations"

Standing at the entrance of the main entrance of the Linzhang School Palace, reciting the four mantras engraved on the stone archway, the corners of Zixia Wuxu's mouth showed a smile.

"It's kind of interesting......"

He held the letter of introduction written for him by the elders of the family, walked with his steps, smelled the fragrance of peach fruits, and walked towards the palace, and entered with him, as well as a group of immature Mengtong, who performed well in this month's Mengxue exam, and were admitted to the palace to visit, and the young Ximen Leopard was also among them.

What Zixia and Ximen Leopard didn't expect was that his arrival coincided with a turmoil, a fierce debate among scholars in the palace about whether it was "etiquette" for Zhao Qing to marry his sister Ji Huan......
