1234. Chapter 1234: Chang'an Academy
There is a wasteland of more than 200 acres in the east of the city, which is a place left over from the expansion of Chang'an City in the past two years. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This wasteland has no owner, and some of the surrounding people occasionally grow vegetables here.
The ownerless land belongs to the imperial court, as long as you apply to the imperial court and pay some fees.
Of course, the people in the neighborhood are growing vegetables on the vacant land, and Tang Zhou wants to build a academy, so he has to compensate them with some money, these are not big things, and they can be easily handled.
After buying the land, the next step was the construction of the seowon.
Originally, this academy belonged to private things, and people from the Ministry of Industry should not be allowed to help, but Tang Zhou's identity was special after all, and Cheng Chumo and others also vigorously helped after learning that Tang Zhou was going to build the academy, so it was not difficult to let the people from the Ministry of Industry be responsible for some things.
It's a bit of a good use of power, but in the eyes of many people, it's not a big deal.
After the Ministry of Engineering intervened, the next step was to budget and purchase materials for the construction of the college, the design of the college, etc., which took a month, and by the time the college started, it was already late spring.
The academy is very large, and Tang Zhou is going to build different classrooms according to different knowledge, so there are a lot of rooms to be built, but Tang Zhou has the money, and if he hires more workers, he can still start construction quickly.
Tang Zhou doesn't need to worry too much about the start of the academy, how to build the academy, Tang Zhou doesn't need to worry too much, what he has to do now is to give the academy a name before the academy is built, and then hire some teachers to promulgate the matter of recruiting students.
Tang Zhou was more casual in naming the academy, and directly gave the name of Chang'an Academy, and even had no other meanings, that is, the academy in Chang'an City.
But although it is arbitrary, dare to make the academy this, I don't dare to do it without a certain amount of capital, you must know that Chang'an is the capital, and Chang'an Academy represents the academy of the capital, if you don't have a certain strength, you will only be laughed at by people if you give this name.
After the name of Chang'an Academy was chosen, the next step was to hire teachers.
Nowadays, Chang'an Academy has these majors, such as calligraphy, agriculture, astronomy, medicine, literature, painting, vocal music, martial arts and so on.
If you are good at that aspect, students will apply for that major, of course, it does not mean that if you apply for these majors, you will not study the others.
For example, if you apply for a calligraphy major, then most of your things are learning calligraphy, but on the other hand, you also have certain professional courses related to painting, literature and martial arts, but these courses are all auxiliary, and what really allows you to learn is calligraphy.
Among these majors, literature is the easiest one, but people in other majors basically learn this, and in the end, whether people in other majors can take a career depends on how well they study.
But for medical majors, agricultural majors, etc., you don't have to care too much about the official career, these majors are originally to apply what you have learned, even if you go to the official career to become an imperial doctor, or go to Sinong Temple, it is completely okay, and you don't need to pass the imperial examination.
There are many majors, so there are many teachers needed, and almost every major needs to invite top talents in this area.
And to invite someone to be a gentleman, some professional people are easy to invite, and some are not.
Mr. who majored in agriculture is please, Tang Zhou has been an official in Sinong Temple, as long as he speaks, the people of Sinong Temple can find some experienced people in agriculture for him, but agriculture is relatively chicken, and there can not be many people who apply for the examination, most of this major is also used as an auxiliary major for students to learn, for example, if they want to become an official through the imperial examination, they will be sent abroad in the future, how can they do it if they don't know how to do it if they don't know about agricultural knowledge, and they can't tell the difference between millet and wheat, so if they learn some majors in agriculture, they will become officials in the future, Relatively speaking, it will be better.
In terms of medicine, he can ask Sun Simiao or Lin Qingsu to help, and in terms of astronomy, Li Chunfeng is the most suitable, and these people are not very difficult to invite.
It's really hard to invite people who have achieved success in calligraphy.
Nowadays, in the entire Tang Dynasty, Chu Suiliang has the highest achievement in calligraphy, but Chu Suiliang is now the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he is busy every day, so it is difficult for him to have time to be a teacher, so it is difficult for him to take a few classes a month.
And to learn calligraphy, you have to learn to learn the highest achievement, and others are not good, which is somewhat unconvincing, but fortunately, although Chu Suiliang is difficult to invite, Ouyang Xun's son Ouyang Tong can be invited.
Ouyang Tong died in a hurry because of the killing of people, and then Ouyang Tong studied hard under the supervision of his mother Xu, and the calligraphy has been completed, and now he is called Xiao Ou, and his father Ouyang Xun is Da Ou.
Tang Zhou did a lot of things for him at the beginning, and now he has asked Ouyang Tong to come to Chang'an Academy as a calligraphy teacher, but there is still no problem at all.
However, having Ouyang Tong is not enough, Chu Suiliang has to be invited, even if he teaches one or two classes a month, the prestige of Chang'an Academy will be very different.
After having this idea, Tang Zhou went directly to Chu Suiliang's house with the gift, although the two were not very familiar with each other before.
After coming to Chu Suiliang's mansion, Chu Suiliang was very strange and asked, "I heard that the little marquis is building what Chang'an Academy you are building, why do you have time to come here today?" ”
Tang Zhou said: "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I came to find Chu Gong today because I have something to ask for." ”
Chu Suiliang was a little puzzled and asked, "Oh, I don't know what Tang Xiaohou wants to ask for?" ”
"Now Chang'an Academy is already under construction, the speed is very fast, I believe that it can basically be completed in one summer, but now all the subject gentlemen are a little short, I want to ask Chu Gong to teach one or two classes every month, as long as you are willing, this reward is naturally not a problem."
Tang Zhou said very directly, Chu Suiliang already understood Tang Zhou's intentions after listening to it, but he paused slightly, he was already the prime minister, and his family was not short of money, but he didn't particularly care about the remuneration Tang Zhou said, and as the prime minister, he was very busy every day, where did he have time to go to Chang'an Academy to be a teacher?
But Tang Zhou came to invite him in person, and it was difficult for him to refuse.
And in his opinion, although Tang Zhou is no longer an official, his ability is by no means comparable to others, maybe he will suddenly soar that day, he may not be able to suddenly soar that day, he has rejected him now, and it will be difficult to ask him to do things in the future.
The most important thing is that if Chang'an Academy is really run by Tang Zhou, then he, the teacher of Chang'an Academy, will also rise with the tide, if there are students in the academy who teach him as officials, then in the court, his own words can also increase some weight, right?
As soon as he thought of this, Chu Suiliang did not refuse, and said: "Little Hou Ye's move is to cultivate talents for my Datang, as the prime minister of Datang, he should do his best, the gentleman you said, I am the one, when you need me to teach, just say it." ”
