After Zhang Hua came out of the county office, he first returned to the shop where he was staying, and told his apprentice Yu Chengsi, saying, "Cheng Si, Master, how do you think I opened a academy?"

Yu Chengsi is a child, and he has studied for a few years, and he was happy to hear Zhang Hua say that he wanted to open a college. He said, "Okay, Master, opening the academy will benefit one party, and then select some characters from the students of the academy to accept a few junior disciples for me." ”

As soon as Zhang Hua heard Yu Chengsi say this, he also felt a little reasonable, he forgot about this stubble, and opening the academy itself is also beneficial, Zhang Hua decided, and this academy will be opened.

To open a academy, you need to build a house, Zhang Hua didn't plan to do it herself, but went to the county government again, found the county order Ye Wanzhou, and asked the county order to help the contact person to build classrooms, dormitories, canteens and other buildings.

The money was given by Zhang Hua, after all, although Ye Wanzhou was a county order, he was still a clean official, and he had no money to do this, and the money in the yamen could not be used without authorization, and every expenditure must be recorded accordingly.

It turned out that Ye Wanzhou had asked the government to repair the academy, but Ye Wanzhou himself was too clear, and there was no money to go up and down, so the money was never allocated.

Zhang Hua gave Ye Wanzhou some silver first, and asked Ye Wanzhou to arrange for the officials to find someone first, but Zhang Hua didn't have a lot of silver, and even the gold and silver were only a few hundred taels, and how could it cost thousands of taels to build a academy, plus buying pen, ink, paper, inkstone, tables, chairs, benches, and clothes of various colors, there were no two thousand taels that could not come.

This doesn't include the gentleman who asks for teaching, after all, Zhang Hua can't be allowed to teach.

In this way, Zhang Hua's silver is not enough, but Zhang Hua is now a monk in the foundation building period after all, although there are no gold and silver and other vulgar things on his body, but there are treasures.

Not to mention anything else, that is to say, there are a lot of treasures in the private treasury of the two masters of the White Bone Mountain Dazhai and the second village, these things are nothing in the eyes of cultivators, but they are also priceless in the eyes of mortals.

Zhang Hua went to Baohe County and sold these treasures, and in a blink of an eye, Zhang Hua was a huge rich man with a net worth of 100,000 yuan.

Then it's a matter of buying books for students everywhere, hiring teachers, and so on.

This is more than a month.

Although Zhang Hua did not practice during this month, the more than a month of running around made Zhang Hua closer to the life of mortals in this world.

These mortals are not as lofty as cultivators, and they talk about some trivial things in life every day, but they give Zhang Hua a feeling of returning to the earth.

It turns out that this world is not necessarily full of some cultivators, these mortals are also the same as the people of the earth, there are not so many intrigues every day, on the contrary, these people are more sincere, although some people are a little careful, but it is nothing more than for their own lives.

This kind of life gives Zhang Hua a more real feeling, but also more comfortable, Zhang Hua has not experienced it for a long time, but this kind of life has not worn out Zhang Hua's heart of seeking the Tao, Zhang Hua has always kept his heart of seeking the truth, not like the cultivator to seek the way of cultivation, but Zhang Hua believes that everything has its way, Zhang Hua has a heart to explore everything in the world, including the way of cultivation, but it is by no means limited to this.

After more than two months, Zhang Hua finally took care of the academy, and finally the academy was opened.

With the support of the Yueyang County Government here, Zhang Hua hired some famous teachers as teachers of the academy with high salaries, and then began to recruit students around Fenglai Mountain.

And Ye Wanzhou even sent a plaque to name this academy "Fenglai Academy", and this academy is even open.

According to the earth's school grading system, Zhang Hua has conducted examinations and grading for the teachers and these students, which is also convenient for management.

After completing these, Zhang Hua finally had time to start his own cultivation path.

Zhang Hua would go to a cave near the top of Fenglai Mountain every night to practice, which is also the place where the spiritual energy in Fenglai Mountain gathers.

It took Zhang Hua more than a month to complete the renovation of this cave, and now it is better to say that this is a cave than a stone room, but there is no furnishings in it, only a stone bed, which is the place where Zhang Hua meditates and practices on weekdays.

During the day, Zhang Hua had to stay in the academy, and occasionally held a few public classes, and at this time, the entire academy, whether it was students or teachers, came here to listen to Zhang Hua's lectures.

What Zhang Hua talked about is not some advanced scientific truths, but some relatively basic things, but after all, Zhang Hua has experienced higher education on the earth, and the teaching concept is more advanced than the teaching gentleman here, so although he talks about some basics, what he talks about is also very vivid, so everyone listens very carefully.

Now there are about more than 100 students in Fenglai Academy, all of whom are children of some poor families who live nearby, after all, the location of Fenglai Academy is relatively remote in Yueyang County, and the children of really rich families will invite teachers at home, so they will not come to Fenglai Mountain to study so hard.

Zhang Hua didn't charge these children a lot of money, basically if the family has money, they will receive a symbolic little, and those who don't have money can also come to class as long as they want to come here to study, but Zhang Hua will arrange some work for these children to do, which is considered to be part-time work and study.

It's also part of education, teaching these kids at the beginning to know that there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Then Zhang Hua would usually observe these students in the academy in the dark, thinking that he would select some of these students with better conduct to teach him the art of cultivation.

However, so far, although Zhang Hua has taken a fancy to a few students, he is still only focusing on observation, and has not really handed over the cultivation methods of these students.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Hua came to Fenglai Mountain, which had passed half a year, and on this day Zhang Hua was meditating in the stone room, when Yu Chengsi came in, saluted Zhang Hua and said, "Master, junior brother is here." ”

"Got it, let him in. Zhang Hua said.

At this time, a person came in from outside the door, and it turned out to be the county magistrate of Yueyang County, Ye Wanzhou.

Since Zhang Hua established Fenglai Academy, Ye Wanzhou has come to Fenglai Academy every once in a while to have a relationship with Zhang Hua.

Then one day, when he came, just in time for Zhang Hua to give a lecture to everyone, Ye Wanzhou listened from the sidelines, but Ye Wanzhou listened attentively.

At this time, what Zhang Hua is talking about is a section in "Zhuangzi Great Master": the spring is dry, the fish are on land, they are wet, and they are wet, and they are foamy, so it is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes.

Zhang Hua said: "Let's pay attention here, everyone in the world is accumulating love for each other, but they don't know that this kind of situation can only exist in a desperate situation, not so much that this is a noble feeling, but that it is just a group between the weak to keep warm." If you really have the strength, you won't let yourself fall into such a situation. ”

After hearing this, Ye Wanzhou hesitated, but she didn't say anything to disturb Zhang Hua, who was lecturing, but only after Zhang Hua finished talking to Zhang Hua to discuss things alone.

After Zhang Hua finished speaking, Ye Wanzhou invited Zhang Hua to a pavilion on the mountain and asked: "Sir, when Wanzhou heard what Mr. said just now, she seemed to be very disdainful of each other's affection, doesn't Mr. think that this kind of mutual affection can be snuggled up to each other in a difficult situation, and taking care of each other is very valuable?"

After hearing this, Zhang Hua shook his head and said, "Brother Ye, what you said is very inappropriate." Zhang Hua said and pointed to the big lake in front of the pavilion.

"If there are two fish in this lake who are together every day, then it is not called mutual affection, then either these two fish are in love with each other, or they are like-minded, but if he does this lake and the two fish meet in a small quagmire, then even two fish that have nothing to do with each other will behave with each other, not for the sake of others, but just for their own survival. How to talk about nobility and preciousness, it's just a way for two weak people to huddle together to keep warm and save their lives, as I just said. ”

After Ye Wanzhou listened to Zhang Hua's remarks, it was difficult to find a rebuttal for a while, so she went back first.

Since then, Ye Wanzhou has come more frequently, and she will find Zhang Hua to discuss things when she has nothing to do.

Zhang Huadao was not disgusted, but chatted with Ye Wanzhou more and more speculatively, and the two chatted more and more. Slowly I started not to limit myself to literature.

Ye Wanzhou sometimes even asked Zhang Hua about how to be an official. Although Zhang Hua has never been an official, he has seen too much on the earth, and he can really point out a few words to Ye Wanzhou.

From then on, Ye Wanzhou came to Zhang Hua if there was anything she didn't understand, and Zhang Hua put forward suggestions to solve it one by one.

In this way, Ye Wanzhou worshiped Zhang Hua as a god, and one day actually proposed to worship Zhang Hua as a teacher.

After hearing this, Zhang Hua said, "Isn't it very good for us to be friends? Why did you suddenly make this request?"

Ye Wanzhou said: "Mr. is so talented, he must not be a character in the ordinary, Wanzhou is not talented, I want to ask Mr. for advice." Since Wanzhou was taught by Mr., it was naturally necessary for the teacher to be famous, and it was the duty of the disciple to worship Mr. as a teacher. ”

Ye Wanzhou asked again and again, Zhang Hua had no choice but to say: "Logically speaking, it is nothing for me to accept you as an apprentice, but one thing you must know is that I am not a teacher who teaches." ”

Ye Wanzhou heard Zhang Hua say this, and also asked the question that had been backlogged in his heart for a long time: "Wanzhou is not talented, I have long found out that Mr. You are not like an ordinary teacher, but you have never spoken, and I dare not ask, since you have brought it up now, Wanzhou dares to ask, what are you doing?"

Zhang Hua then said: "I am a cultivator. ”

Ye Wanzhou breathed a sigh of relief at this time and said, "I see, I have thought of this a long time ago." ”
