Today's three watches.

Su Baiyi, Sun San and Wu Degui were eating hot pot together, and there was a noise outside the door for some reason.

There is also the voice of shouting "Mr. Su" through the wall.

Stopped the chopsticks in his hand, walked out quickly, and then saw a crowd of black presses.

If it weren't for the fact that many people looked familiar, and Hou Fangyu, who was only less than one and a half meters at the front, Su Baiyi suspected that it was the officers and soldiers who came to surround him?

"Mr. Su......"

"Mr. Sue."

"Mr. Sue!"

Seeing him come out, the students outside were excited.

Su Baiyi can be regarded as understanding, these people should be his own disciples.

But in the middle of the night, if you don't study your homework, don't sleep well, don't go home to make people, and come here to make wool?

After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly understood: Is it because I am afraid that I will resign from the academy and be in a bad mood, so I came to comfort me?

But I didn't see anyone with gifts?

"What are you doing?"

Su Baiyi looked at a young student with a dark face and asked.

He knew this person, his name was Fu Lin, and when he told Diyuan some time ago, he was the one who came forward to find evidence for himself.

"We're here to run to you, Mr. Su!" Fu Lin looked eager.

"Yes, we're running to you!" Hou Fangyu's little face flushed with excitement.

"We run to you!"

"Defect to you!"

……

All the students in the back shouted in unison.

Su Baiyi was even more confused.

Is there a flood in your house? Or was it a snowstorm?

What are you doing with me if you have nothing to do?

Let's talk about it first, it's not easy for me to make money, don't try to take advantage of me.

"I've quit!"

Su Baiyi spread his hands, he had just drunk some wine, and his head was dizzy.

"We're quitting school too!" Fu Lin said: "Before leaving, I also wrote an essay, which was hung on the wall of Wenzheng Academy, if Mr. doesn't take us in, we really have no way out." ”

"We are willing to follow Mr."

"Follow Mr."

"Follow Mr."

Only then did Su Baiyi understand what was going on, and then glanced at the head of the black press, and roughly estimated that there should be at least three hundred people.

"I have no place to stand on the tile, and you will have to suffer if you go to me!"

"We are not afraid of hardship!"

The students spoke in unison.

Su Baiyi was silent!

He paced around the same place a few times, and it was difficult for him to come up with any good ideas for arranging these students for a while!

It is naturally possible to accept him as a disciple, not only to create a name for himself, but also to increase the value of peach and plum.

But the question is, where to teach?

It can't just be in the open space, right?

Besides, these 300 people are too much, if they are gathered together, eating, drinking and Lazar are all things, who will take care of it!

While thinking about it, he heard Fu Lin say: "Sir, the student has a suggestion!" ”

"Tell me about it!"

Fu Lin arched his hand, and then said quite provocatively: "Today, we are all down-and-out people. But no matter how down, it is still much better than when Confucius traveled around the world with his disciples. So, why don't you follow the example of Confucius, open, stand, and teach! ”

Su Baiyi's mind was instantly opened, and his mind was still a little confused because of the wine worm, but now he woke up completely.

yes, why can't I start, and preach?

Although the initial period was more difficult, who didn't start a business from hardship?

But three hundred, it's still a bit much.

Su Baiyi cleared his throat and said: "Then I won't say anything about it, the opening is what I wish in my life, since everyone supports me and is willing to enter my Su Baiyi's door, then I will talk about the rules." ”

"First." Su Baiyi stretched out his index finger: "What I, Su Baiyi, preach is a practical way that has been applied to the world, so I won't teach the Four Books and Five Classics, and the Classics and Righteous Policies on weekdays." In other words, if you want to enter the officialdom through the imperial examination, I am afraid that it will be difficult to realize your ideals.

Of course, I am not opposed to entering the officialdom, nor am I opposed to participating in scientific examinations. It's because once you become my disciple, the study task will be very heavy, and if a person's energy is limited, the field will be wasted.

So, the choice is yourselves.

If you are still willing to be my disciple of Su Baiyi, stand on the right; The rest, standing on the left. ”

As soon as Su Baiyi's words fell, Fu Lin was the first to stand up and run to the right.

Then there were Chu Lun and Hou Fangyu, huhula, almost half of them stood up.

The rest were still hesitating, but Su Baiyi waved his hand and said, "You have a heart, and Su Baiyi also wishes you all success in the future." You are also my disciples of Sumen, if you have time, you can also come to my dojo to listen to the lectures! ”

After all, this era is ancient, and many people shoulder not only their own ideals, but also the expectations of the entire family. Su Baiyi can understand these and respect them.

He's glad to have half of them stay.

The rest of the students were a little sad, but there was nothing they could do, because what Su Baiyi said was the truth, and they could only leave slowly.

"Okay, I'll now say the second condition!" Su Baiyi stretched out two fingers: "My knowledge is passed on from generation to generation, and I pay attention to teaching and learning." While studying, you should also teach, so that you can consolidate your knowledge and fill in the gaps.

I mean, when you learn my science, you'll be in charge of teaching the new disciples.

Would you like to? ”

In the future, there will be more and more disciples, and it will be impossible to teach all of them personally, and most of the teaching will have to be realized by the first batch of disciples at present.

"Yes!"

"Third, the way of Sumen pays attention to the unity of knowledge and action. That is to say, while learning, we must practice with our hands, do it, do it, and verify whether the truth is correct or not. Su Baiyi paused slightly: "To put it bluntly, it will be very hard to study under me in the future, you may have to farm with the old farmer, you may have to work with the blacksmith, and you may have to work hard in this room."

This, if not acceptable, please come out! ”

Su Baiyi thought that ancient people were very able to endure hardships, and he thought that no one should stand up for this.

But what made him dumbfounded was that more than 30 students came out, with black faces and expressed their unacceptability.

It seems that the so-called hard-working and brave Chinese are only suitable for those old farmers who face the yellow soil with their backs to the sky, and these rich children seem to be inadequate.

"One last point!

Under my disciples, everyone is equal, and there is no distinction between high and low. Although the same student may have learned differently, there is no difference in the value of the academic itself. For example, my eldest disciple! ”

Su Baiyi patted Sun San, who was full of pride: "He is a cook, and you also know my second disciple, it is Wu Degui, he is a farmer; I also have a disciple who strikes iron! ”

"Master, I'm here!" Bao Erhei ran towards Su Baiyi with a smile and stood behind the two senior brothers.

"Good!" Su Baiyi smiled and continued: "When I left Wenzheng Academy, it was not because I was afraid that Kou Yong would trouble me, but because his philosophy of education was very different from his, he looked down on old farmers, craftsmen, and women. This is the real reason why I left Wenzheng Academy. In the future, my disciples in Su Baiyi will not only have farmers, workers, craftsmen but also girls, if there are people like Kou Yong among you, then please stand up, such disciples, we don't need them! ”

After a long time, no one left!

Su Baiyi was overjoyed and asked Sun San to move out all the wine and food in Wu Degui's house, and all the things that could sit on chairs, stools, and tables were also moved out.

Taking the gas wine jug, Su Baiyi said: "There is not much wine in it, not enough for you to drink, so let's make do with each person to take a sip and celebrate the opening of our academy!" ”

"Good!"

Everyone stepped forward, everyone took a sip of wine, eighty-seven people, and a jar of wine basically bottomed out.

"I'm going to move another cart over and warm everyone up!"

As a big disciple, Sun San's consciousness is still quite high.

Su Baiyi nodded, and then Wu Degui and blacksmith Bao Erhei helped, pulling the car out of the house.

The sun gradually set, the night came, and everyone was not too cold, so they simply lit a large bonfire under a big elm tree about 100 meters outside Wu Degui's house, and everyone surrounded the city in a circle, talking, laughing and drinking.

After a while, my body also warmed up.

Chu Lun stood up and said, "Sir, since our academy has been established, you old man will give it a name!" ”

"Good!" Su Baiyi took a sip of wine, looked around, and suddenly landed on the towering elm tree next to the bonfire, and said, "Let's gather under this big elm tree today, and in the future, our academy will be called Yuyuan." ”

"Okay, Yuyuan is good!"

"Okay, we will all be students of the Yuyuan Academy in the future!"

"Sir said, we will also be lecturers in the Yuyuan in the future!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Fu Lin scratched his head, "Sir, since the name of the Yuyuan has been decided, do you want to set the location as well?" ”

"That's nature!" Su Baiyi took another sip of wine: "It must be big, and the territory must be big, because I am going to build Yuyuan into the first university in the country, which not only has Mengxue, but also has middle schools, high schools, and universities, and at least thousands of acres of land are needed. ”

"Then you might as well be right here!"

Wu Degui stood up and suggested: "Sir, most of the land here is wasteland, the salinity is very heavy, and the gains of planting crops outweigh the losses, so it is good to build a school." If you buy land, it will definitely be much cheaper than the rest of the place. ”

"Hmm!" In fact, Su Baiyi also took a fancy to this land, he stood up, circled around the elm tree, calculated carefully in his heart, and finally said: "With this elm tree as the center, one mile from east to west, north and south, from today onwards, it will be the territory of my elm courtyard." ”

Everyone gasped!

One mile from east to west, one from north to south, and the circumference of an elm courtyard takes eight miles, which is similar to the main city of Guide Mansion.

"Of course, this is only a long-term plan, in the near future, let's build a university first!"

"But what about the money?" Hou Fangyu is a small person but mature early: "With such a large territory, it takes a lot of money to buy land and build a house, where can we get silver?" ”

"Cut!" Su Baiyi was dismissive: "Will our Yuyuan be short of money?" ”

"Sir......" Hou Fangyu couldn't refute, so he could only look at Su Baiyi with a bitter face: "Aren't we still without Yuyuan?" ”

"Let's get together!" Su Baiyi waved his hand, took out the six taels of silver he had brought with him, and said, "At this moment, all the silver on everyone's body will be handed over to me."

Fu Lin, you go and count it and see how many there are in total. ”

"Good!"

Su Baiyi took the lead, and everyone began to roll over their sleeves and pockets, and in less than ten minutes, the money came out, and everyone helped count it, and it was converted into silver, totaling forty-two taels.

"It's only forty-two taels!" Hou Fangyu walked up to Su Baiyi and muttered.

To build an academy, you need to buy land, you have to buy stones, you have to buy wood, you have to hire carvers, carvers, painters, and so on, not to mention forty-two taels, even forty-two thousand taels are not enough.

Not to mention anything else, such a piece of land, one mile each in the east, west, north and south, is converted into almost 1,500 mu, and even if it is cheaper, it will cost 3,000 taels of silver to get it.

And that's just land money!

"What's wrong with forty-two taels?" Su Baiyi glared at him and raised the money bag into the air: "Forty-two taels of silver to build an elbow courtyard, others may not be able to do it, but if my disciple Su Baiyi can't do it, then study the principles of heaven and earth with me, and go home and take the child to sleep with his wife."

People must first have a goal, and if they have a goal, the rest is to do it!

Today, in the first class, I will teach you how to use these forty-two taels of silver to build a huge school palace! ”
