Chapter 166: Everything is ready
But then again, giving full board and lodging and monthly salaries is the first of its kind, and other big academies in the city do not have such generous treatment.
Therefore, in order to build a different academy, the most important thing is to rely on Sima Shao's current reputation.
At this moment, Jiankang City has fallen into the night, and there are sparks everywhere.
......
Shang Shufang.
Emperor Jin Yuan asked, "What is Shao'er doing now?" He doesn't look like a man who is used to living in idleness. ”
Li Gonggong said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is said to be planning to open a academy in Jiankang City and teach students. ”
Emperor Jin Yuan said: "Do you really plan to give a lecture in the city?" ”
Li Gonggong said: "Back to Your Majesty, I heard that His Royal Highness spent a lot of manpower, material resources and money to open the academy, and also wrote an article for it, which was very sensational. ”
Emperor Jin Yuan laughed and said, "Oh? Shao'er still has such writing! ”
Gonggong Li smiled in agreement.
"The servant ordered someone to present it to His Majesty." Gonggong Li replied.
A moment later, Gonggong Li presented Sima Shao's article to Emperor Jin Yuan.
When Emperor Jin and Yuan began to read the scroll, it seemed that Sima Shao compared China to a teenager, which was very fresh.
"Therefore the responsibility today is not for others, but for my youth. The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country. If the youth is rich, the country will be rich. If the youth is strong, the country will be strong. If the youth is independent, the country will be independent. If the youth is free, the country will be free. The progress of the youth will lead to the progress of the country. ”
Then read to the back, in "Beauty in my youth China, with the sky is not old." I am a Chinese teenager, and there is no boundary with the country! At that time, Emperor Jin Yuan felt that the whole article was written impassionedly, and the words were sound.
"If you want to talk about the old and young of the country, please speak about the old and young of the people: the old people often think about the past, and the young people often think about the future."
Emperor Jin Yuan was greatly moved, and then said: "It's really worthy of Shao'er!" This article doesn't talk about ancient and modern, I'm afraid there are few people in this dynasty who can catch up. ”
Li Gonggong said: "The minister also thinks that this article is the pen of a fairy. ”
"The pen of the gods, well said, you send someone to ask a famous person to frame this article, and then ask someone to copy some and hang a pair in each of the palaces and princesses' mansions."
"The minions obey."
Li Gonggong said: "Your Majesty, the slave doesn't know whether to say a word or not?" ”
"Little Lizi, you say it bluntly."
Li Gonggong said: "Your Majesty, it is a pity that a writer like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is put in the mountains and forests. In fact, the slave thinks that for such a famous person as His Royal Highness, the court should be placed in the court, so as to show His Majesty's intention of valuing talents and cherishing talents. ”
Emperor Jin Yuan smiled when he heard this: "Little Lizi, you are really a bad belly. ”
When Gonggong Li heard this, he didn't dare to say anything.
Emperor Jin Yuan smiled confidently and said: "How to use people, how to use people, I have my own opinions." He sent a messenger to tell him that he was going to set up a college, and when I approved it, I gave him a thousand taels of silver, and I allocated it from the inner treasury. ”
After Sima Shao opened the academy, he also invited famous teachers all over the country in the spirit of excellence.
The speakers of the academy must be at least more than one person, such as Lin Feng and Xu Weiran, who are all invited by Sima Shao.
Of course, it is not enough to just lift people, Sima Shao also came forward to write a letter to the Jinshi in high school a few years ago.
Sima Shao personally brought the invited people to the house.
The maids didn't know why Sima Shao attached so much importance to them, and even so condescended to welcome them to their mansion.
When Sima Shao set up a banquet to catch the wind for everyone, Sima Shao got up to toast everyone, and then said to a group: "Everyone doesn't need to be too humble!" Come and drink! ”
After three rounds of drinking, Sima Shao said: "Actually, I really have some ambitions in running a college. The ancients set up academies in order to give people preaching and teaching to solve doubts, and after the imperial examination was opened, the academies turned to focus on fame and fame, so there were many ways to read and use for themselves, deviating from the original intention of the ancients to run academies. ”
After listening to Sima Shao's words, everyone nodded one after another, this is the status quo of most academies today.
Sima Shao said: "But this is not a generalization, a good academy should not only talk about how students should make a name for themselves, but also cultivate students' sentiments. ”
"Others often say that scholars serve the country, but they are just empty words and hard work. Therefore, our college should not only encourage students to take the imperial examination as the goal, but also cultivate their local feelings, family and country feelings, and cultivate talents who truly serve the country and the people. ”
After listening to Sima Shao's words, everyone said together: "This is wonderful! ”
Hearing this, Sima Shao nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, since everyone is like-minded, then I can work together to set up the academy after I am here." ”
The preparations for the following academy are proceeding in an orderly manner.
In terms of personnel, Sima Shao himself served as the dean.
For Sima Shao, he doesn't value this identity, but for him, it will be a very interesting life experience to become the dean after changing from the identity of His Royal Highness the Prince.
After being His Royal Highness the Prince, I was able to know what it means to think of the common people, and after becoming a speaker of the academy, I realized the feeling of looking forward to becoming a talent. not
The experience in the hall or in the academy is a very meaningful thing for Sima Shao.
Compared with two months ago, the academy has also undergone amazing changes.
Originally, the academy was just a few inconspicuous places in the corners of the city, but now there are blue bricks and white tiles erected outside.
The words "Chengcai Academy" are written on the gate of the academy, and there is a noisy crowd outside.
After entering the gate of the academy, it became a different world.
The center of the college is the Chongzheng Lecture Hall.
Although Sima Shao opened the academy, he did not mark the words "Shanggong" and "Gonggong" on the landmark building in the center of the academy. His consistent proposition is that he hopes that the academic style of the academy can be eclectic, and all schools of thought can be open to talk here.
Therefore, the names of the academy were all agreed upon by the speakers below, and Sima Shao did not interfere in the slightest.
This Chongzheng lecture hall is the place where the academy teaches, lectures and lectures, and the right side of the lecture hall is the library building, which is the highest building of the academy, with a total of three floors, and the rest of the places are mostly built with a study.
The study is used for students to live and study, and the college has ten study rooms, which will be used by each student in the future.
This is also the teaching policy of the ancient academy, where teachers and students get along day and night, and teach by word and deed.
As for the back of the academy, the hall temple pond at the foot of the mountain is a place for students to read and rest, Sima Shao built here and took time to experience it, which can be called a picturesque and reading resort.
In the future university, it will definitely be a place for young couples to walk after dinner, but in the future, it will be a place for three or five classmates to discuss and benefit from learning.
During this period, the affairs of the college were unanimously supported by the officials and gentry of Jiankang, who donated generously, so the progress of the construction of the college was gratifying.
Now the college is largely completed, but there are only some finishing touches left.
At the same time, because of the enthusiasm of the gentry and the people, Sima Shao also had another happy trouble.
When Sima Shao set up the academy, he did not intend to make a profit, but in just these two months, the money donated by the gentry from all over Jiankang far exceeded the expenses required to run the school, which greatly surprised Sima Shao, and he could only say that his hometown father had too high hopes for him.
Sima Shao calculated, excluding the construction and the expenses of teachers and students this year, there were more than tens of thousands of taels left in the account.
Theoretically, Sima Shao can take this money and spend it himself, but this is too much of a loss to his father and fellow villagers.
Therefore, Sima Shao decided to put the finances of the academy in a special person, and every income and expenditure must be detailed.
