Seeing that so many people came, Tao Ying simply built a small town here, because it was close to Tao Qian's mausoleum, so it was called Taoling Town.
When Wang Lang came to Taoling Town, Tao Ying was lecturing in the courtyard under Taoling Mountain, there were nearly 200 children in the town, usually idle, seeing that this group of children was very cute, and there was nothing to do, so Tao Ying selected nearly 100 children from them to teach them personally.
When Wang Lang came to the small courtyard, Tao Ying was teaching geography to the children, Tao Ying lived in the small courtyard of Taoling Town, a small courtyard made of mountain stones, a one-person high courtyard made of mountain stones, and four simple houses made of stones. Fortunately, the floor in the courtyard was made of bluestone bricks, which looked very clean, and through the crack in the door, Wang Lang saw that many students were sitting on the ground, while Tao Ying was holding a homemade chalk and drawing on a wooden board painted with black lacquer.
Wang Lang pushed open the door, Tao Ying was still wearing filial piety clothes, and Tao Ying was pointing to the elliptical earth on the blackboard and said: "Everyone looks here, we live here, and the earth we step on together with the surrounding ocean has formed the earth we live on." ”
Wang Lang's sudden appearance caught Tao Ying a little off guard, looking at the familiar figure, Tao Ying hurriedly knocked on the blackboard and said, "Okay, let's talk about it here today, and continue to listen tomorrow." Now you can go home, go ahead, don't go back and play so wild! ”
After Tao Ying finished speaking, a group of children stood up and bowed to Tao Ying in unison, and then walked towards the gate. Looking at Tao Ying, Wang Lang looked surprised, and it was not until Tao Ying said hello to Wang Lang and asked Wang Lang a few times that he reacted.
"It's rude, it's rude, it's just the second son, what are you painting here?"
Following Wang Lang's gaze, Tao Ying saw the earth he had drawn on the blackboard, and when he thought of the earth, Tao Ying suddenly smiled. Yes, they are too avant-garde, maybe in this era, they don't know what the earth is, and they all think that the earth is round, not round.
Tao Ying picked up a geography manuscript compiled by himself from his side and handed it to Wang Lang, Wang Lang took it, turned the first page, and after reading a few sentences, it seemed that the book had magical powers, and he couldn't put it down.
"Second son, how can this earth be round?"
Wang Lang asked puzzled while looking at it, Tao Ying invited Wang Lang to the house, and the maid hurriedly made two cups of tea and handed them over. After sitting down on the chair, Tao Ying hurriedly explained: "Lord Wang, you don't know this, the place where we live is called the earth, the earth itself is round, and then the earth is not boundless, if you start from here and walk along a line of defense, sooner or later you will come to the place where you came." ”
After Tao Ying finished speaking, Wang Lang was even more incredulous, and while muttering in his mouth, he pointed to another place and said: "Second son, look here, you said that the earth is infinite, and the land we live in is just one of the seven continents on the earth, so are there other countries on this earth?" ”
Wang Lang has too many questions, and many things are simply incredible things for him. But Tao Ying wanted to explain to him, but he didn't know how to explain it. The knowledge of this world is limited, and some Tao Ying can't make up for the evil if he wants to make up for it, so Tao Ying doesn't bother to explain too much.
So Tao Ying said: "Lord Wang, in order to prove that the earth is round, and in order to persuade everyone to see the wider world, I am ready to wait for the treasury to have money, and organize a person to survey and map the world, if Lord Wang is interested, you might as well stay in Pengcheng!" ”
When it came to staying in Pengcheng, Wang Lang was still a little hesitant, he was too guarded, he was here to serve the old lord, how could he say that he would stay and ignore the Han Dynasty?
So Wang Lang could only refuse and said: "I understand the kindness of the second son, but I have important things to do, and I have to return to Huiji!" When I came here today, I wanted to say goodbye to Tao Thorn Shidao, and I had to leave after worshipping. ”
Seeing that Wang Lang was desperate, Tao Ying knew that he had no hope of retaining, so he thought about it and said, "Lord Wang, what do you think of my Pengcheng?" ”
Seeing that Tao Ying wanted to ask, Wang Lang thought about it carefully and replied: "Pengcheng under the governance of the second prince is not something ordinary people dare to think, the second prince is really like a god, there are too many things that we can't fathom. ”
Tao Ying laughed out loud after hearing this: "Wang Taishou has won the award, Wang Taishou came all the way to Xuzhou to visit my father, just with this friendship, I am already grateful, I wanted to give Wang Taishou something, but Wang Taishou did not lack anything." Yesterday, Chen Deng told that Wang Taishou likes the books collected by the Jixian Palace very much, although I can't send the Jixian Hall to Wang Taishou, but I am willing to send a residence outside the Jixian Hall to Wang Taishou to express friendship, and also to Wang Taishou smile! ”
After Tao Ying finished speaking, he looked at Wang Lang, Wang Lang's face was always as calm as a face of water, no matter how big the wind and waves, there was never a little wave, but when he heard that Tao Ying gave him a house next to the Jixian Palace, Tao Ying clearly saw a kind of longing in his eyes.
Although he wanted it very much, Wang Lang refused: "Second Prince Xie is kind, it's just that I am an official in Huiji, and Pengcheng is so far away from Huiji......"
"I can let Ling Gongzi come to live, I want to give the Han Dynasty the highest salary that can be given to hire the world's famous people to teach in my Pengcheng, and I have already begun to take out 10,000 taels of silver to collect the world's books, and I will take out more money to invest in education in the future, if Gongzi comes to my Pengcheng, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing!"
Tao Ying's every sentence is so difficult to refuse, there is a saying called wealth, Tao Ying suddenly felt that he was now. When Wang Lang was in Pengcheng, he also heard that Tao Ying had begun to recruit celebrities from various states and counties to come to Pengcheng to talk about the way of the world. Wang Lang also wanted to buy a house in Pengcheng and let his son learn etiquette and knowledge here.
Especially when the proud Wang Lang saw that Cao Cao's two sons were coming, Tao Yingdu, the son of this rival family, let him study in the academy, and took care of him meticulously, which made Pengcheng even more desirable. There are also sages Zhang Zhao, supernatural Zhuge Liang, Xiao generals Zhao Yun, Xu Sheng, strategists Chen Deng, Yan Zhen, etc., all of which are Pengcheng's signboards.
So Wang Lang wanted to buy a house here, but when he asked Chen Deng, Chen Deng was embarrassed to tell him that although the mansion in Pengcheng had been built, it was not for sale. All of these mansions were reserved for the great Confucians and various scholars.
In addition to the stationing of scholars, all that remains is the accommodation for those students who come to Pengcheng to study. The only places left for scholars and students were the northern part of the city, where they were the residences of officials who had taken refuge in Tao Ying. The west of the city is a residence reserved for those merchants, because Pengcheng's slogan is prosperity and tolerance, so elites from all walks of life, Tao Ying will welcome them.
Seeing that Tao Ying was so sincere, Wang Lang was disrespectful, so he hurriedly thanked him: "The second son is so gifted, he deserves it, Pengcheng was first built, and there is a shortage of silver, I am willing to donate something to hope that the second son will also smile!" ”
Seeing that Wang Lang accepted, Tao Ying was a little happy in his heart, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "Then I have thanked Wang Taishou for the people of Xuzhou!" ”
The two exchanged pleasantries in Taoling for a long time, and the purpose of Wang Lang's trip was to bid farewell to the deceased Tao Qian, so Tao Ying accompanied him to Tao Qian's tomb to pay respects.
Wang Lang stayed in Taoling for two days, during which Tao Ying stayed up all night to produce two notebooks of scientific manuscripts and future life plans, and then gave them to Wang Lang as gifts. Wang Lang kept looking at the geography textbooks, science textbooks and future life ideas compiled by Tao Ying, and the more he looked at it, the more incredible he felt.
