Chapter 131: It's Too Wasteful

After Jiang Lili went back, she roughly drew the places she had visited today.

For example, how high the altitude should be, if it is more suitable for planting flowers, and if there is a river passing by, can you dig a lake at the foot of the mountain and build a pavilion corridor on the lake?

After all, it is a place where scholars want to stay, so there must be a table or platform in the corridor of this pavilion where you can stop and write at any time.

Then there is the type of flower, and it is best to have flowers all year round.

In this way, we can better attract those students.

After Jiang Lili thought about this, she planned to go to Tiande Academy in person.

At least only if you have experienced everything about that academy can you better plan your own affairs.

——

Feng Lin was a little surprised when he heard that Jiang Lili wanted to go to Tiande Academy.

"The academy does not allow women to enter, and it may be difficult for the master to enter." Feng Lin spoke.

After all, this academy is full of men, and an unmarried woman like Jiang Lili will definitely not be able to enter.

Otherwise, it is easy to be criticized by some scholars and fathers and sons.

Of course, Jiang Lili knew this, so she asked Feng Lin to find a way.

Now listening to Feng Lin's words, he knows that Feng Lin still has a way.

It's a little difficult, but it's not impossible.

"You can do it." Ginger pear pear opening.

Feng Lin saw that Jiang Lili was determined to go, so he said: "There is a fundraising activity in Tiande Academy this day, as long as the donation of silver is more than ten taels, then you can enter Tiande Academy for a day every month, of course, you have to donate ten taels of silver every month." ”

Many of these things are things that only those rich families do, saying that they are fundraising, but in fact, they are just spending money to let the college take care of their children.

After all, such a large academy can barely hold up with the restraints of those students.

So naturally, we have to find some channels to raise money from other places.

For example, in Yangzhou City, many wealthy families donate silver every month, not only to enter Tiande Academy, but also to let ordinary people know that they also donate some money to the academy when they make money.

Naturally, it can make a good name.

Jiang Lili listened to Feng Lin's words, gritted her teeth, and spent ten taels of silver, which was regarded as the ticket money for entering the park.

"It turns out that Tiande Academy doesn't need to raise donations, after all, Tiande Academy is also one of the two largest academies in Jiangnan, there is land distributed by the imperial court, and those things are enough to provide food, clothing, housing and transportation for those students, but the dam in Lixian County collapsed two years ago, washing away a lot of farmland, including the farmland of Tiande Academy."

Feng Lin explained that this fundraising has only started in the past two years.

When Jiang Lili heard this, she understood it.

So let Feng Lin donate ten taels of silver to Tiande Academy in her name.

After donating these ten taels of silver, Jiang Lili naturally has a chance to go to Tiande Academy this month.

As for the day of going, it depends on what the academy thinks.

It's not that Jiang Lili can go if she wants to.

Jiang Li Li is not in a hurry, you can first find flowers suitable for planting in Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is located in the south, but it is not particularly southern, so the winter is still cold.

Now in March, thousands of flowers are blooming, and the summer is full of greenery, which can be regarded as spring, summer, autumn and winter.

In the next few days, Jiang Lili will go to Zhuangzi, and first take the title deed to determine the actual size of Zhuangzi.

It is said to be a small mountain, but in fact, this hill is quite large.

It was only because there was no way to grow grain on the mountain, so the original owner planted these pear and peach trees.

There is a paddy field at the bottom of the back mountain, and there are traces of being trampled on the ridge.

It is probably the reason why the students of Tiande Academy have been running towards this hill during this time.

Tiande Academy is not inside the city, but outside the city.

It is less than two miles away from the Zhuangzi of Jiang Lili.

It's just that there is a small mountain in the middle, so you can only faintly see the roofs of some academies from this village.

Therefore, if these scholars can find this place, they should not have just come this year, after all, standing on the top of the hill of the academy, it is estimated that they can see this flower-filled hill at a glance.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lili felt that her thoughts were more correct.

Growing food or something, for ginger pears and pears, it is completely unnecessary.

There are not many people in her house, and the grain she eats in a year is not much silver, so this Zhuangzi is indeed a bit condescending to use it for farming.

Therefore, Jiang Lili is going to dig up all the paddy fields that are easy to get out of the water behind the mountain, and then plant lotus roots.

Lotus roots can bloom in summer, and they can produce lotus roots in late autumn and early winter, and it is also possible to raise some fish to enter them.

After that, some small pavilions on the shore were built to facilitate the rest of the scholars.

As for the slightly sloping fields ahead, the ginger pear pear is intended to be used to grow some ornamental peonies and medicinal peonies, and then open up an area of the hill for maple trees and bamboo forests.

A plum tree will be planted afterwards.

In this way, there will be different colors throughout the year.

——

When the steward heard that his master wanted to use the land where the crops were planted to grow flowers and trees, he felt that his master was a person who did not eat fireworks in the world.

Not knowing the importance of food.

But what can be done about this?

Steward Xi persuaded Jiang Lili, saying that it was too wasteful to dig this farmland into a lotus pond and use it to plant flowers.

But Jiang Lili waved her hand and decided like this, and Manager Xi had no choice but to let the people below do this kind of thing.

Of course, there is definitely no way to do these things in the short term by relying on the people in Zhuangzi alone.

So you have to hire someone to do it.

As for the matter of hiring people, Jiang Lili handed it over to Feng Linlai to do.

After all, Feng Lin has a wide range of connections.

Finally on the seventh day of the third lunar month, Jiang Lili was invited by Tiande Academy to go to Tiande Academy to have a look.

Jiang Lili chose a decent dress and wore a hat.

The carriage traveled all the way to the bottom of the mountain, and the road to the academy was lined with farmland on both sides, and a straight road in the middle.

From this road you can see a little bit of your own Zhuangzi.

Sure enough, it is indeed separated from this academy by a mountain.

When Jiang Lili arrived at the gate of the college, she got off the carriage, and the students in charge led Jiang Lili to visit the college.

And these students can be regarded as helpers in the college, and they can also be regarded as work-study.

Jiang Lili and Marigold Yinzhan followed behind this student, followed by Xu Lian.

The student didn't expect that the guest he was going to receive today was a young woman.

But he didn't think much about it, and took Jiang Lili to the side.

This academy is built on the mountain, and there is a huge stone archway at the foot of the mountain, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances with the four big characters of Tiande Academy.

After that, there are white stone steps.

Passing through the stone steps, you will come to a spacious square, directly opposite the square is a large hall, where the students usually listen to lectures, and then on both sides are the places where they read and study.

Listening to lectures and learning are not the same place.

Reading and learning is a place where some of the veterans of the academy give lectures.

As for the main hall, every three afternoons, there will be an hour of lecture by the dean, and almost all the students of the academy will not miss it. That's why the main hall was built very big.
