Hengqu College was built.

Zeng Xian looked up at a few big characters on the white marble archway.

Su Xun, the head of Hengqu Academy, because he presented "Zhengmeng New Note" to the imperial court in the name of Hengqu Academy last year, the Queen Mother gave Hengqu Academy these two words on a whim.

Built ......

Hengqu College was built.

Of course, he grew up in Hengqu Town since he was a child, and when he was a child, he studied in Mengxue affiliated to Hengqu Academy.

The queen mother gave two words, and the imperial court allocated three million dollars for this to build a mountain gate for Hengqu Academy, and at the same time gave thousands of acres of land for students to eat.

Three million yuan, a full three thousand, can fit at least ten carts, but Zeng Xian didn't see the money, only saw this tall archway. In addition, one of the fields allocated by the government is directly connected to his family's more than a dozen acres of fields in the west of the town.

Since the archway with the inscription of the Queen Mother was erected, in just half a year, the number of students who came to the academy doubled, and the two newly built houses in the town were all rented. It is a good thing to be prosperous, but two years later, the two subjects of Ming Calculation and Ming Engineering, Xiao Han Xianggong tailor-made subjects for Qi scholars, there are many more competitors.

"Zeng Xiaoyi." A classmate shouted his name, "Not going home yet?" ”

"Let's go."

Zeng Xian let go of his worries and walked back to town along the cement paved road with his classmates.

Since the torii has been erected, it is only allowed to walk from the torii to the main entrance. After the Shangyuan Festival, the county came over, and it was dismounted at the archway.

A convoy of carriages and horses came along the road and also stopped in front of the archway. The students who entered and exited the academy all stopped.

The convoy dismounted and got out of the car one after another, and a middle-aged man who got off the second car at the end of the group was obviously the head of the crowd.

"Ahh

Seeing the middle-aged man, Zeng Xian couldn't help but be surprised.

"Who?" His classmates didn't know him, "Is it Xiao Yi, do you know?" ”

"It's the Tao Zhu of the world!"

After finishing speaking, Zeng Xian immediately heard a sneer.

"Tao Zhugong? …… Yu Jin'an has Fan Shaobo? ”

"The three million dollars given by the imperial court are a mere three thousand yuan in his eyes; Thousands of acres of land, only 100 acres can be seen. ”

"Tao Zhugong is not just rich."

"The big proprietor of SF Express, Han Xianggong's cousin. Half of this academy was donated by him. ”

"I still can't afford it!"

Looking at the proud-looking classmate, Zeng Xian shook his head in abrupt terms.

In the past few years, there have been seven Qi scholars who were recommended by Feng Congyi to Wang Sunchen, and thus obtained the official status. This matter is well known in the academy.

Starting from Xihe Road and going west, the low-level liuguan positions in Ganliang, Anxi, Beiting and other places can occupy most of the Qixue people, and it is precisely because of the recommendation of many powerful people, including Feng Congyi, how can Han Gang alone make all the benefits of Qixue?

Just talking about Jingyi, Feng Congyi must not even be able to compare with the students who have just entered the school. But in terms of vision and insight, how many people in the academy can compare with him?

Zeng Xian didn't think he could despise the copper smell on Feng Congyi because he was a businessman. The copper stinks to the extreme, and that is incense. Just like ambergris, as mentioned in "Nature", it is whale feces, because there are fish bone residues in it.

But Zeng Xian has no interest in educating his classmates, and trying his best to speak may not be effective, but instead attracts contempt for no reason.

In the archway, at this time, a group of people walked briskly from the direction of the main entrance, and Zeng Xian saw the first person walking in front from a distance, "The mountain chief is here." ”

……………………

Hengqu College was built.

The last time Feng Congyi came, there was no such archway.

The Empress Dowager issued an edict, mentioned the word, and rewarded the land and money, so that the academy expanded its scale, and also allowed the word "Jianjian" to be worn on her head in a dignified manner.

Next to Feng Congyi, students came and went.

It is not surprising that the small ones are fourteenth five, and the big ones are twenty-five or six.

The younger students cast a little curious glance at him, a stranger with seven or eight companions who was obviously not a scholar, while the older students passed by without squinting and not being surprised.

"There are more people." Feng Congyi said softly.

"That's it."

"I've heard twice as much."

"There are more than 2,000 people, as many as Guozijian."

"The town is full."

The companions around him echoed for a while.

The professor's knowledge is completely different from the official school, and the Hengqu Academy has been canonized by the imperial court, which suddenly makes the scholars who are still watching in Kansai completely stand on the side of qixue.

However, Feng Congyi knew that although Han Gang thanked Tianen for Hengqu Academy, he didn't like to dye the academy too much official color.

"Tao Zhugong is here!"

On the stairs behind the archway, there was a big laugh in the distance.

People came with laughter, Feng Congyi went to the archway, and waited for the host who came to greet the guests.

The surrounding students looked sideways, and then saluted respectfully to the man, and said in unison: "I have seen the mountain chief." ”

Feng Congyi has always been a person to the end, "Feng Si has seen the mountain chief. ”

Su Yu returned the salute to the student, and then stepped forward to greet Feng Congyi, took Feng Congyi's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Feng has not arrived last year, which makes people miss it." ”

Feng Congyi also laughed loudly: "I didn't come to the academy last year to dye my body and go back, and Feng Si's vulgar smell became more and more unapproachable." Originally, I wanted to come, but unfortunately I went to the Western Regions on the orders of my cousin, and I went back and forth for eight months, and the remaining four months could only be raised at home. ”

Walking side by side with the guests, Su Yu asked, "Brother Feng must have seen and heard about it when he went to the Western Regions. ”

"The desert scenery can't be poetic, and I don't know how to describe it. However, there is an endless stream of Han people who go out of the pass every day to go to the Western Regions to reclaim the land in Yumen Pass. Ten years later, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains must be singing in Chinese. ”

"How can the scenery be compared with the people?" Su Yu said with a smile: "When you hear about this, you can win more than a hundred Tianshan Mountains and deserts." ”

"Su Shanchang said it well."

Su Yu sighed: "A thousand years ago, Ban Dingyuan and Bowanghou successively went to the Western Regions, and since then, there have been Han people who have reclaimed the land, whether it is the Uighurs or the Turks, I still don't know where. Since the decline of the Tang Dynasty, Beiting and Anxi have been owned by the Hu people, and there is no longer any trace of the Han people. Reading history in the past, I couldn't help but sigh again and again, but I didn't expect that today, the Western Regions finally returned to the Han family. ”

"The best place for water and soil in the Western Regions is the Yili River Valley, where the seven rivers converge, and the abundance of water and soil is far better than that of Anxi and Beiting. My brother once said that only by capturing there and immigrating a million more can I feel at ease. ”

"The two major protectors of Anxi and Beiting have been very calm in the past two years, is it just to prepare for this matter?"

"Military affairs, I don't dare to say anything if you ask, Mountain Chief." Feng Congyi shook his head and said, "The Eastern Black Khan killed almost 30,000 soldiers and horses in Shule, and even more were injured, and we must beware of the Western Black Khan. ”

"The Western Regions aren't equipped with artillery yet." The person who followed behind Su Yu asked.

"If it weren't for the fear of being stolen by Xiyi, I would have taken the artillery to the Western Regions a long time ago. After Wang Jingsheng saw the artillery last time he returned to Beijing, he said that if he gave him 500 artillery, he would be able to hit the west of Dashi. ”

"Didn't the Liao people also learn artillery? Why are you not afraid that the Liao people will steal learning, but you are afraid that Xiyi will steal learning. The man grumbled.

"It's been a few years since I fought the Liao, but I don't know how many years it will take to fight the Western Regions. The situation in Liao can be investigated, but the Western Regions cannot be inquired about. In case Xiyi secretly learns it, after twenty years, the imperial court plans to go west, but finds that the head of Dashi City is full of artillery, more than the officials and soldiers brought over, so how can you fight? Feng Congyi said with a smile, "When the imperial court decides to go west and fight all the way to the extreme west, then artillery will be used." Now to deal with the Black Khan, it is enough to use only the Divine Arm Bow, the Horse Chopping Knife, and the Plate Armor. ”

"I heard that Wang Duhu is an acute child?"

Another person opened his mouth and asked Feng Congyi, Su Yu saw this and took over: "The current regimental training envoy, except for Wang Sun, who has the surname of the country, is his youngest. Beiting Duhu, Anxi and under its control, he doesn't have to rush for a while. Turning around, he smiled at Feng Congyi and said, "Brother Feng has recently returned from the Western Regions, so he can't help but want to ask a few more questions. ”

Feng Congyi smiled: "This is also ordinary. Speaking of which, on the side of the North Garden, there is really a mountain of armor, and I don't know how much it has been transported. If it is according to the situation in the south, iron tools are easy to rust and deteriorate, so more preparations should be made. However, the weather in the Western Regions is dry, and it doesn't rain a few times a year, and the iron armor doesn't have rust spots when placed outside for a few years. But the imperial court still sent so much. Now when playing in the Beiting Army, they are all wearing armor, and they are not afraid of bad at all. ”

"How do you play football in armor?" One asked curiously.

"It's not kicking, it's just holding the ball and rushing to the goal, and if you want to stop it, you can hit it directly, and with a bang, a finger-thick breastplate can bend over. After a ball game, more than half of the iron armor can be damaged, and there are all the bloody fields, which is much happier than Keju! ”

Feng Congyi's words spread on the stone road shaded by trees, some people frowned, and some yearned.

As he spoke, he had arrived at the main entrance of the academy. Feng Congyi and Su Yu walked into the door.

"After a year, there are more houses, there are more people, and the fragrance of this book is stronger, which reflects me as a layman. There are mountains growing here, and the academy is thriving day by day. ”

"Thanks to Brother Feng."

"No, without Hengqu, there will be no brother. Without Shanchang, the academy would not be where it is today. ”

Looking at today's academy, Feng Congyi was deeply touched, a large part of the money that was used to build the Hengqu Academy back then was sent by himself on the order of Han Gang.

At that time, Hengqu Academy was founded in a temple in front of the mountain, and then passed through Hengqu Town for the second time, and there were more than a dozen rooms of all sizes, and the houses for students to live in were still thatched roofs. On the contrary, the fields were well cultivated, and aqueducts were also opened up, which were converted into high-quality irrigated land. Windmills and waterwheels were repaired, and a mill was built to earn some money for the academy. After that, every time he passed through Hengqu Town, Feng Congyi could find that the academy had changed.

After Zhang Zai's death, Su Yu insisted on staying in Hengqu Academy, refused the imperial court's conquest, refused the recommendation of his classmates, and stuck here, watching the academy expand step by step, becoming a holy place that everyone in Guanxi yearns for.
