Chapter 216: Benchmarking Chang'an

Cuiwei Mountain is 100 zhang high, covering an area of nearly ten miles. On Cuiwei Mountain today, the man-made flying spring waterfall is magnificent, and there are cranes soaring on it.

Hidden in the forest are exquisite courtyards, and the whitewashed walls reflect dazzling light in the forest.

Each small courtyard is equipped with a ditch for water inflow and drainage, flowers and fruits and vegetables in the garden, and fish playing in the pool.

Although the yard does not occupy a large area, it is extremely well designed. And there are thousands of such courtyards on the mountainside.

On the top of the hill is a huge classical building, so large that it occupies the entire area of the mountaintop.

Between the courtyard and the huge building, there are faint pavilions and pavilions that wind and fall. At the foot of the mountain, there are dozens of huge block-like buildings, each of which is more than ten meters high and hundreds of meters long.

The building is divided into three floors, each with dozens of compartments, divided into several areas neatly arranged at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain.

The building at the foot of the mountain is naturally the future student dormitory, and there are dozens of dormitories alone, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

The exquisite courtyard on the mountainside is naturally the dormitory of the teachers of the Tang Royal Academy. There is a building for each person, and it is also equipped with a variety of community convenience services.

As for the largest classical building at the top of the mountain, it is the academy library demarcated by Zhang Zheng.

It's just that the library building has not yet been fully completed, after all, it is on the top of the mountain, and the difficulty is not ordinary.

And this library, in Zhang Zheng's plan, will become a holy place in the hearts of the entire world's readers for countless centuries to come!

It is the whole world, including all the small vassal vassals who admire the Tang culture, not just the Tang Dynasty.

And these things are just this part of Cuiwei Mountain. With Cuiwei Mountain as the center, the diameter of three kilometers is spread out, and there are magnificent buildings rising on the banks of the Wei River.

Those are the teaching buildings of the Tang Royal Academy, and there are hundreds of magnificent buildings. Zhang Zheng abandoned the traditional classical architecture of the Tang Dynasty with carved beams and painted buildings, and instead directly transferred the concept of the university in later generations.

Since it is a place to do learning, it is natural to seek the most simple and efficient, and everything is for teaching. This area, which is like a new city, is the first phase of the Tang Royal Academy.

And just this first phase of the project, under the national policy of cash-for-work last year, the number of people who were requisitioned and issued was tens of thousands.

The Datang treasury has invested nearly 600,000 copper coins here. What is the concept of 600,000 guan, even if it is a printing house under Zhang Zheng.

With the current size and income of the printing house, it would take nearly ten years of non-stop operation day and night to make that much money.

And in the current state of Datang's finances that are almost exhausted, Li Shimin is still willing to invest so much capital.

To carry out the infrastructure construction of the academy, it can be seen that Li Shimin attaches great importance to the Tang Royal Academy. Although it is winter now, the green plants on Cuiwei Mountain are already lush, which are all precious green plants transplanted from Luoyang at a great cost by the Ministry of Industry.

Therefore, compared to the dry and bleak scene in other places, Cuiwei Mountain in winter is so conspicuous. And today's Cuiwei Mountain will usher in its first residents.

That is, the more than 50 disciples of the Mo family who followed Zhang Zheng. These disciples of the Mo family naturally would not be the teachers of the academy, because they were all young, most of them were sixteen or seventeen years old.

Since he is not a teacher, he is naturally a student. In fact, more than 100 young children of the Mo family, as well as the young people who followed the three great Confucians to the academy from the Taiyuan Wang family, were also students.

Therefore, Zhang Zheng wants to divide the house halfway up Cuiwei Mountain this year, which is tantamount to a fool's dream. Being able to divide a tenth is already very awesome.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zheng suddenly felt a little deflated. This will be placed in the future generations, I am afraid that the house is not enough, how can there be a situation where the house is not divided.

"Shhh

"it!" The disciples of the Mo family who followed Zhang Zheng to the first phase of the Tang Imperial Academy included Li Wucun and Chen Yu.

The moment they saw Cuiwei Mountain in the distance, they all gasped. Where is this academy, this is a city, or a newly built city.

Looking at Cuiwei Mountain in the distance, Zhang Zheng was not surprised. After all, Zhang Zheng is also a person who has seen the big scenes of the later generations, so where is this.

It's just a little emotional, this world has another thing that I am familiar with, although it is only very similar in appearance.

At this moment, Li Wucun was a little distracted and muttered, "Is this the Tang Imperial Academy?" Zhang Zheng grinned: "As you can see, this is just the built-up area of the academy, and as far as the eye can see, all you can see is the academy." As soon as Zhang Zheng's words fell, Li Wucun's pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needlepoint, and he asked in disbelief: "As you said, if the academy is built in the future, won't it be as big as Weinan County?" Zhang Zheng smiled disapprerovingly: "What is Weinan County, what we want to target is Chang'an!" ”

"Chang'an? it! Hearing Zhang Zheng's words, Li Wucun couldn't help but burst out a sentence of national quintessence. Zhang Zheng smiled slightly, anyway, he bragged and didn't break the law.

As for others believing it, what does it matter to me and Zhang? Chen Yu rolled his eyes and couldn't help but throw one at Li Wucun

"Look at the turtle" look. You also believe this kind of against Chang'an, it is obviously the uncle's bragging, what academy can accommodate millions of people?

Regarding Chen Yu's stupid eyes, Li Wucun rarely did not get angry, but muttered to himself: "If the academy can really benchmark Chang'an one day, I can die." Zhang Zheng smiled and said no more, jumped off the horse, and chose to walk towards Cuiwei Mountain.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry who stayed at the academy saw from a distance that Zhang Zheng was leading a group of people towards the academy. Seeing Zhang Zheng walk in, he greeted him and said, "Uncle Zhangxian!" Zhang Zheng bowed slightly: "Hard work!" The official of the Ministry of Industry said: "Serve the country, don't dare to say bitterness." Then he paused and asked: "Zhang Xiannan is here today, is it ......" Before the official finished speaking, Zhang Zheng pointed to the group of Mo disciples behind him and said: "The first batch of students, first bring them to familiarize themselves with the environment." The official of the Ministry of Industry nodded: "I see." "For such a small matter as arranging a dormitory for the children of the Mo family, naturally you don't have to go out in person.

The gatekeeper, who had already received the news, automatically took over the errand. The gatekeeper is the caretaker of the dormitory, and each dormitory is equipped.

And Zhang Zheng, under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Industry, took Li Wucun, Chen Yu and a group of guards to climb towards the top of the mountain.

Walking to the foot of Cuiwei Mountain, Zhang Zheng asked the official, "I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" ”
