It lasted a year, mobilized a full 100,000 labor, countless materials, and spent 200,000 taels on wages alone, and a huge academy covering an area of 5,000 acres was finally completed.

Emperor Li Er personally inscribed the name, and the four thick characters of the Wuclass Academy were made into a gilt plaque and hung above the main entrance of the academy. Then the couplet on both sides is the handwriting of the champion Hou Xiaorui: there is no class to attract a group of heroes, and hundreds of schools of thought compete for the unity of the world!

When the academy was first built, there were only some empty buildings, and the flowers and trees had just been transplanted and had not yet grown, so it looked a bit monotonous. So Xiao Rui set up a stele forest on the courtyard wall on the right side of the entrance for celebrities to leave inscriptions. For a academy, this thing can be used as a talisman if it is used well.

Especially the plaque on the gate that was written by Emperor Li Er himself, covered with the jade seal of the country and stamped with the emperor's private seal, with this thing, at least in the Li Tang Dynasty, no one dared to touch this academy.

On the day of the completion of the academy and the ribbon-cutting, the emperor led hundreds of officials to witness, and even more than half of the people of Chang'an City came.

Xiao Rui led the emperor and others to visit the academy, introducing them as they walked.

Li Er couldn't help but nod his head in appreciation: "Covering an area of five thousand acres, there are one hundred and eight independent schools for teaching alone, and each school covers an area of ten acres, which is comparable to several government-run schools." Your academy is unparalleled in the world. ”

Old Li Yuan added with the support of the crown prince Li Chengqian: "What's the matter? I have seen the plan of this kid, there are seven office buildings, 28 canteens, and 360 dormitories for students. Oh, the Big Dipper should be the seven stars, the twenty-eight constellations, and the number of heavens and earth, and Zhou Tian. This academy is unparalleled in ancient and modern times. ”

"Although the area is not as good as the palace, and the magnificence is not as good, this design is not inferior to the construction of the palace, and it is comparable to the construction design of Chang'an City."

Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, who accompanied him, said with a smile: "Emperor Taishang, I'm afraid you don't know, the design of this academy was drawn by the Hou Ye himself, and there was no fake hand at all. ”

"When I was building, I specially invited the descendants of the master Yuwenkai who was responsible for the construction of Chang'an City.

"Oh? I only know that Zang Feng, a kid, knows a lot of things, but I didn't expect that he still knows how to build? Old Li Yuan was surprised.

Yan Lide, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, who followed behind Li Daozong, said: "Emperor Taishang, Weichen can testify. Originally, we invited the Yuwen family to come over to be responsible for the construction, and the design drawings of the Yuwen family are not cheap, such a large scale, not to mention the design cost of tens of thousands of taels of silver. But Hou Ye's picture directly conquered the Yuwen family, not only promised to help build the academy for free this time, but also promised to send two masters to the academy in the future to help teach construction science. ”

"There is only one condition, that is, in the future, when the Hou Ye is free, he will help the Yuwen family comment on their design drawings."

Hiss......

Many people were amazed, but they knew the influence of the Yuwen family in creating a line, but they didn't expect the champion Hou to even know how to build a line, and it seems that he is also a hidden master.

Just when everyone was visiting, General Li Junxian came to report, "Your Majesty, Lord Hou, the people of Chang'an are too enthusiastic, they are flocking to visit the academy, and their brothers are about to be unable to stop them." ”

The general Chi Jingde said loudly: "There are too many people, in case there are gangsters mixed in, it will be dangerous, Your Majesty, please send 10,000 soldiers and horses to escort it." ”

Li Er waved his hand and laughed: "No, it's all the people of the Tang Dynasty, how can the blades of the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses be aimed at the people?" Since the people want to visit, then make a charter and let them come in in an orderly manner, and not make noise. ”

"Your Majesty. General Lee, take the brothers of the Xuanjia Army to maintain order. Xiao Rui gave Li Junxian a look, meaning to do what we discussed.

Li Junxian understood and hurriedly turned away.

In fact, Li Er and Xiao Rui had expected this situation a long time ago, and they had also made some preparations.

I saw Li Junxian come to the gate quickly, and his luck shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a decree in the saint, and the establishment of the Academy of Classes is a great joy for me in the Tang Dynasty, and the monarch and the people should enjoy together." However, the academy has a limited space and there are many people in the Tang Dynasty, if everyone pours in, the academy will not be able to squeeze in, and it is inevitable that the people will be injured. This is something that neither His Majesty nor the Marquis wants to see. ”

"The Holy Lord has ordered you to send an order to all of you that in the next ten days, the Classless Academy can be opened for people to visit, and everyone can bring food money to taste the food of the academy inside."

"However, the academy has limited manpower and can only accommodate 10,000 people at a time. Only ten batches are received a day, so please line up in an orderly manner and arrange a time to visit according to your personal situation. ”

"My Xuanjia Army is responsible for the order and safety inside and outside the academy, if it is found that someone is fighting, making trouble and violating the rules, the visit qualification will be cancelled, and each person can only visit once, and if it is found that the visit is repeated, it will be punished with three days of hard labor."

Li Junxian has been by Xiao Rui's side for many years, and he has been taught by Xiao Rui his unique internal skills, which is becoming more and more popular, and these words can not only be heard by the people, but also by the emperor and others who are two miles away.

Gao Shilian, the head of the household department who was in charge of the money and grain of the imperial court, said with a smile: "Master Hou's move is clever, 100,000 people visit the academy a day, and everyone can eat a meal here, tsk, even if one person only spends one penny of silver, he can get 10,000 taels a day, and ten days is an income of 100,000 taels." I'm afraid it won't be long before the construction cost of the academy will be earned. ”

When everyone heard this, this is the truth. When it comes to making money, I am afraid that no one in the world is more proficient than Hou Ye.

Xiao Rui glanced blankly and said: "Gao Shangshu, those are the people of Chang'an, and they are not the rich people who spend money without blinking. A meal for a penny? Even the restaurants in Chang'an City are not so black-hearted. ”

"Who's to say no? Go to your drunken immortal building for a meal, as little as ten taels, and as many as hundreds of taels. The Demon King of the Mixed World, Cheng Biting Jin, complained generously.

Everyone laughed, and Gao Shilian even arched his anger and said: "Yes, Master Hou, if a penny of silver and a meal is considered a black heart, then no one can hack your drunken immortal building." ”

Ahem......

Xiao Rui waved his hand awkwardly and said, "My drunken immortal building is expensive. Besides, it's a restaurant, a la carte and drink. I am a college, a class academy, a place to teach, a place for children to read. It is not a classless restaurant, the canteen here does not provide a small stove, just an ordinary meal of three dishes and one soup, one meat and two vegetables, and the staple food is rice or steamed bread and wotou flax cake. ”

"Ten cents. Although it is not cheap, at least it can make the people afford this meal. And the staple esophagus is full. You must know that many poor families in Chang'an City may not be willing to have a full meal now. ”

Oh?

Three dishes and one soup, one meat and two vegetables, full staple esophagus? This kind of food is only worth ten cents?

Gao Shilian was stunned, it was indeed not expensive. It can even be said that it is affordable and cheap. You must know that you can buy two flax cakes for a penny, but you can't afford to be full, and some people can eat five to eight in one meal.

"Master Hou, one meat and two vegetarian three dishes and one soup are only sold for ten cents, isn't that a loss-making deal?" Someone asked, puzzled.

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Again, I am here as a academy, a place to study and educate people, not to buy and sell." This price is the cost price, it will not lose money, and it will not make money. The output of farmland within a radius of ten miles of the college is for the students of the college. ”

"The reason why I took this opportunity to let the people come in for a meal was also His Majesty's idea, first, to promote the academy, and secondly, to let the people taste the daily food inside. In this way, I can send my children to school with confidence in the future. ”

"After all, this academy is different from private schools and schools, and when you study in other places, you just study, and go home every day to eat and sleep."

"Studying at Wujiao College, it is a half-year vacation, and students need to live in the college for a long time. After a total of five years, the long-term separation will inevitably make many parents feel uneasy here. ”

Hiss...... This is the first time I have heard of this teaching mode.

"Master Hou, we must be a hundred relieved to hand over the child to you, not to mention a half-year holiday, even if you go home once every five years, it's okay." Cheng bit Jin shouted loudly.

The crowd chimed in.

Xiao Rui changed his words and said seriously: "General Cheng, don't be in a hurry to make a guarantee. Although my academy can recruit a lot of students, we also have an enrollment threshold, and we can't just send children here. In that case, all the children in the world will be sent to me, and I will not be able to fit in this place. ”

Yes? No way? Is it the same as your Xiaojiazhuang Academy, you don't accept our children?
