Shi Kefa only took half a month in the capital, most of them were visiting old friends in the capital, Shi Kefa as a leader among the civil officials, almost no one in the capital has no connections, returning from a long trip, it is indispensable to pick up the wind and wash the dust, call friends and companions, half a month later, Shi Kefa rushed to Songjiang Mansion with the silver ticket given by Zhu Jie!

In Shi Kefa's view, the Songjiang Mansion near the sea, the potential of Amsterdam in the future, Amsterdam, which is the economic center of the entire West, controls forty percent of the trade volume of the West!

Songjiang Mansion is near the sea, guarding the mouth of the Yangtze River, and also has almost the best port in the Ming Dynasty, the future Songjiang Mansion through trade, beyond Quanzhou, become the trade center of the Ming Dynasty, just around the corner, even beyond Nanjing and Suzhou and Hangzhou, become the first prosperous city of the Ming Dynasty, are things that can be expected.

The economy is prosperous, and there will naturally be a large number of talents, just like Nanjing and Suzhou and Hangzhou, Jiangnan occupies seven of them, and Songjiang Mansion will also occupy six or seven percent of Jiangnan scholars in the future!

I have to admit that Shi Kefa's eyes have really opened his eyes through several years of travel, and he is no longer the former Wuxia Ameng, in terms of the broadening of his horizons, the Ming Dynasty and the opposition, I am afraid that there is no courtier who can be compared with Shi Kefa!

With Shi Kefa's appeal among the Ming scholars, if you want to set up a academy, it is simply a simple thing, I don't know how many students are looking forward to it, this is the old man of the imperial court, a first-class marquis, and politely refused the emperor's will to stay in the court as an official, just to pave a broad road for the students, above the court, Shi Kefa's friends are all over the world, and it can even be said that the protégés are all over the world, and they can become Shi Kefa's disciples, which is a dream thing.

Shi Kefa went all the way to Songjiang Mansion, met Tong Chen, the prefect of Songjiang Mansion, and took out the emperor's will.

Tong Chen's face was bitter, this is the top boss of the Ming Dynasty, although he has no official position now, but it is not something that he can afford to provoke as a small prefect, not to mention that he is a small prefect, even if he is the governor of Jiangnan Province and the political envoy, he can't afford to provoke! Such a big Buddha went to his own Songjiang Mansion to prepare for the academy, and some of them received it by themselves in the future.

What's more, Shi Kefa has always been famous for his uprightness and uprightness, jealousy and hatred, and his own land temple has such a big Buddha, but I am afraid that he will not even have the opportunity to fish for oil and water......

It's just that even if Tong Chen is unwilling, there is no way now, Shi Kefa has a holy decree in his hands, even if there is no holy decree, where does Tong Chen dare to refuse Shi Kefa's request to set up a academy, which caused Shi Kefa to be furious, he only needs a piece of paper, hand it to the court, and his official career is over, and building a school is something that the emperor has attached great importance to since he ascended the throne......

"Lord Cabinet Minister, since it is the emperor's will, the lower officials will naturally follow the will, and everything will not be bothered by the Prime Minister, and the lower officials will naturally do it properly for the Prime Minister......"

Tong Chen said with a smile.

Shi Kefa waved his hand and replied: "No need, Lord Tong, you don't need to call the old man any minister, now the old man is unofficial and light, idle, he can't afford such a title, the establishment of the college, although it is the emperor's will, but this matter is the old man's own private matter, not the imperial court appropriation to prepare, only need a little help from Lord Tong, the reason for the preparation of the academy, the old man bears it, you are the official of Songjiang's parents, and the general affairs are heavy, so I won't trouble you." ”

Tong Chen's heart jumped, and he hurriedly replied: "Lord Ge Xiang, where did you come from?" The Prime Minister has great prestige in the government and the opposition, and the leaders are very popular, and the subordinates admire the Lord very much......"

"Lord Tong!"

Shi Kefa's face was straight, and he replied: "The official rank is given by the emperor, the important weapon of the country, how can it be called casually, since the old man has resigned, then he can't bear such a title, otherwise, if it is passed on to the court, won't it make people laugh?" You and I are only a few years apart, and when we talk about friendship with each other, you only need to call me Brother Xian, and it's enough......"

"Brother Ken?"

Tong Chen wants to call it, but, that is also a scorer, the friendship is enough, the qualifications are enough, there is naturally no problem to call Shi Kefa like this, but he is just from the prefect of the fourth grade, and the people are from the cabinet of the first grade, ten years ago, Shi Kefa was the imperial history of the fourth grade! I don't have any dealings with Shi Kefa, and I call Brother Xian directly, which is arrogance......

"Lord Cabinet, since you don't let the lower officials and call them officials, then the lower officials will call you Hou Ye, this is always okay, right? You are the emperor's auspicious talisman ......"

Shi Kefa was helpless for a while, there was no way, the false name crushed people to death, before the emperor left Beijing, he had to give himself the identity of a marquis, which was to block the local officials......

"That's it, Lord Tong, you can call it whatever you want, but in the matter of preparing for the establishment of the academy, you only need to ask the officials of Songjiang Mansion to come forward to help, before leaving Beijing, the emperor gave tens of thousands of taels of silver, so that the old man can use it to build the academy, which is enough for the old man to show his ambitions......"

Shi Kefa is not polite, in order to be able to build the academy as soon as possible, a certain amount of borrowing is still needed, this academy, if you want to be outstanding, the scale is at least not smaller than Yingtian Academy, covering an area of dozens of acres There are always there, but I am afraid that there is more than that, I always have to buy land, after buying the land, I have to build a house, I have to buy tables and chairs and other facilities, and I have to invite Mr. Teacher, I don't have so much energy by myself.

What's more, the emperor gave tens of thousands of taels of silver, but where did the funds come from? You can't keep thinking that the emperor will open his mouth to ask for silver, right? Even if the annual fund is 10,000 taels of silver, you need to go around to make your own fate, you are an honest official, and your family is surrounded by walls, but you don't have so much money and food to support, you didn't think clearly at first, and you said it as soon as your mind was hot, only to find out afterwards that there are a lot of doorways!

Fortunately, he still has a meager reputation in Jiangnan, so he can only let his old face out, pay homage to the celebrities and royal families in Jiangnan, and raise some silver taels, which is not a difficult thing, so let's support it first......

Shi Kefa arrived in Songjiang Mansion, without a moment's pause, he put all his energy into it, in just three months, a school, in Qingpu County, Songjiang Prefecture, rose from the ground, Shi Kefa passed the book Jiangnan, anyone who intends to go to Songjiang College to become a scholar, regardless of status, regardless of family wealth, as long as you pass the exam, you can enroll!

The famous future generations, the famous Songjiang University kicked off in Jiangnan!
