Chapter 143: Zhixing Academy
Today's Beiping has gradually entered late autumn, and it is almost Chongyang.
All the famous artists will organize chrysanthemum viewing parties, which are intended to connect with relatives and friends.
He Qiu didn't know this, and secondly, he didn't have much interest in enjoying flowers on weekdays, if he hadn't been able to talk to him about it in private, he wouldn't have known that there would be chrysanthemums now.
Yes, the ancient Double Ninth Festival has always been to appreciate chrysanthemums, but also to make chrysanthemum wine, but in modern times the Double Ninth Festival is just a symbol, and some people even joke that there is no holiday, what kind of festival is it.
However, in ancient times, people believed that the Ninety-Nine Festival was the extreme, so the Chung Yeung Festival was a festival that was highly valued by the world.
On that day, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, said that he would also hold a chrysanthemum appreciation conference to show that he would have fun with the people.
Thinking of this, He Qiu was also interested, and he wanted to follow the customs. What's more, he lied, no, he invited so many masters to teach in his academy, so he had to hold a chrysanthemum appreciation meeting to show his attention to them.
So I inquired about He Neng, and then I learned that there are always eighty or ninety varieties of chrysanthemums in Beiping City, and most of the big families in the city have planted unique varieties of each family, which can be regarded as a kind of show off wealth without leakage.
Even the Yanwang Mansion that had just come to the domain had its own unique varieties of chrysanthemums, but He Qiu, as a traverser, how could he have these things, and flipped through the inventory of the sign-in system, unfortunately, there were no such things.
But it doesn't matter, He Qiu asked He Neng to bring people together to run a few more villages outside the city, and transplant some chrysanthemums from each village to the place of the academy, just to publicize the academy that has not yet opened.
The variety is not enough, and the quantity is to make up.
After He Neng's unremitting efforts and the friendship and help of Yanwangfu, in the past half a month, the academy has been surrounded by budding chrysanthemums, and when the flowers bloom, it is a beautiful sea of flowers.
On the edge of the large ornamental chrysanthemums, some wild chrysanthemums are also scattered and planted, highlighting the inhumanity of a trench.
He Qiu deliberately took advantage of the end of the month to take He Neng to the academy to take a look, the main building had been built a long time ago, and the decoration inside had been decorated after talking to Ma He last time, and he had made great efforts to invite someone to decorate it.
Now everything is ready, just wait for the start of school, and then there will be a chrysanthemum appreciation conference by the way, and invite Zhu Di's family and Yao Guangxiao and others to come, and then the group of masters will be stunned.
Now the couplets and signs on the gate of the academy have not been put up, and He Qiu wants to wait for the opening day to hang them together.
Speaking of the couplet prepared by He Qiu, it is still very famous, made by Gu Xiancheng, the boss of the Donglin Party at the end of the Ming Dynasty,
"The sound of the wind and the rain, the sound of reading, the sound is in the ears; Family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned. ”
Although the ability and morality of most of the Donglin Party members are really not good, the mouth cannon is really fierce, and no matter how dissatisfied they are, they have to admit that this couplet is written at a very high level.
But now, this thing belongs to He Qiu, and he still specially asked Zhu Di to write the brand, after all, his calligraphy is still unsightly, so he won't be ashamed.
The name of the academy is purely He Qiu's bad taste, and he used a sentence from Wang Yangming's heart to the name of the academy and named it "Zhixing College".
I have to say that Ma He's efficiency is very high, and the academy was built in only two or three months after it was handed over to him, and the level of construction is still very high.
He Qiu happily walked around this Zhixing Academy that belonged to him, the academy is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the flowers and trees in the academy have been specially pruned, which looks very comfortable.
The teaching area is not like a small private school in ancient times, but adopts the same design as a modern large classroom, and He Qiu has tinkered with chalk and blackboard, both of which are not very technical.
In the future, the masters of Zhixing Academy will use chalk to give lectures, and the students will still be honest and practical calligraphy.
The cafeteria of the academy was specially watched by He Qiu, and there was a brand-new iron pot on the stove, which was related to He Qiu's future food.
As for the chefs of the academy, they were all specially dug by He Qiu from Yanwang's Mansion, and it cannot be said that they were dug up, but they were sent by Zhu Di.
The library building was built by Ma He specially bought the best stones in the market, and more than a dozen large tanks were placed outside the library building, which was full of a large tank of water, all for fire prevention.
Looking at the bright classrooms in the academy, the spacious and atmospheric canteen, the library building full of books, and the neat eight-person bunk, He Qiu had a sense of time and space confusion in the current school.
He Qiu finally turned to a small courtyard, and suddenly his spirits were lifted, and he seriously looked at this courtyard inside and out.
A small pond was dug in the middle of this small courtyard, and He Qiu installed the fountain facilities here, and the pond was also connected to the living water on the edge of the academy, and the beautiful scenery of the fountain gushing could be seen every day in the future.
This is a surprise he quietly prepared for Zhu Yuying, I hope she will like it then.
After transferring the entire academy, He Qiu returned to the palace satisfied, and began to worry about inviting people, in fact, there are really not many people to invite, except for the master of the academy, there is only Zhu Di's family left.
He Qiu asked Chen Siwei to help write the invitation, and he said that his name was beautiful, and if there was something, the disciple would obey him. In fact, it's because He Qiu's dog-like words can't be on the table.
I wrote more than 20 invitations in one go, asking He Neng to run errands and send them to those masters. He Neng personally gave the invitation to Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao.
The two of them were drinking tea together in the Buddhist hall at the time, He Qiu handed over the invitation, left a sentence that there would be new dishes at that time, and went to talk to Zhu Yuying again.
made Zhu Di very unhappy, since you know that I am your father-in-law, you are still so rude to me, and secretly make up your mind, you must treat He Qiu more ruthlessly in the future, and let him throw out all the inventory in his stomach.
However, he said that Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao were also discussing matters related to He Qiu, you must know that in the previous time, He Qiu didn't mention it and wanted to move the blast furnace to the Xishan area.
Zhu Di thought about it for a long time, and still came to consult Yao Guangxiao's opinion.
Yao Guangxiao took a sip of tea and said faintly, "Your Highness, I don't think so." ”
Zhu Di asked seriously, "Why?" I think what He Qiu said is actually quite right, even in the Yanwang Mansion, he swallows so much pig iron every day, and the eyes of the court are not blind, I think my father is very aware of this matter. ”
Yao Guangxiao immediately retorted: "Whether there is this fig leaf or not is very important to the prince. If it is directly put on the surface, then the Yan Wangfu will become the target of everyone, no matter who wants to cut the domain, he will be the first to make a move against the Yan Wangfu. ”
After speaking, Yao Guangxiao said with some meaning, "Bachelor Zhu Sheng's strategy is still useful today." ”
Zhu Di immediately came to his senses, who is this Zhu Sheng? It was the one who proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang back then to "accumulate grain, build a high wall, and slowly become king".
The meaning of Yao Guangxiao's words is to let Zhu Di accumulate strength for the time being and not to be the first bird.
If Zhu Di really puts the blast furnace on the bright side, out of national political considerations, he will definitely send someone to the workshop to take care of it, and he can't stand to come to a few high-ranking officials to take care of this matter, and it is difficult to say how much constraints will be done to Zhu Di at that time.
Even if the blast furnace is on the realm of King Yan, whether there is righteousness or not is very important to some people.
