……

"Back to Your Highness, the villain is a member of the Teng family in Changde Mansion."

"Your Highness, the villain is a member of the Yang family of Baoqing Mansion."

"Your Highness, the villain is a member of the Zhang family in Jinhua Mansion......"

……

"Your Highness, don't listen to their nonsense."

Suddenly, a sarcastic voice came from outside the crowd.

"Huh?"

Zhu Di's expression froze, and he looked out of the door, and several people with fleshy faces and strong bodies squeezed in, giving Zhu Di an inexplicable familiarity.

Seeing these people, the stewards who had spoken before couldn't help but stare angrily, and their faces were dark.

"Who are you?"

"Back to Your Highness, the villain is Guo Peng, the steward of the Marquis of Wuding."

"Your Highness, the villain is Zhao Er, the steward of the Xinguo Mansion."

"Your Highness, the villain is the steward of the Yingguo Mansion......"

“……”

A smile suddenly appeared on Zhu Di's face, these nobles are all from his own family, "Marquis Wuding, Duke Xinguo, they are all military generals, why do you need reading glasses?" ”

"Your Highness, our lords (grandfathers) said that the objects made by His Highness must be good things, and they are also old, so they should ask for a copy."

Guo Peng and Zhao Er hurriedly said.

"Hmm."

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then asked, "Why do you say that these thieves are deceiving us?" ”

Guo Peng hurriedly said: "Your Highness, these are all Jingshi who have come out one after another with the villain and others, and their masters are all some officials of the Jingshi, and even the villain and others have seen some people?" ”

"How dare you deceive this king?"

Zhu Di's face was directly gloomy, staring closely at the group of stewards in front of him.

"Your Highness Mingjian, the villain and the others really didn't deceive Your Highness, the villain's master is really from the Teng family of Changde Mansion."

"Yes, Your Highness Mingjian, the villain's master is really a member of the Yang family in Baoqing Mansion......"

“……”

Zhu Di smiled coldly directly, "Born in the Yang family of Baoqing Mansion, and still in Beijing, there is only one ......."

As he spoke, Zhu Di looked at the people in front of him with a mocking face, "Tsk...... Fuck it, a group of people who hide their heads and show their tails, and they still claim to be gentlemen all day long, assisting Your Majesty in governing the world, it's really ridiculous in the world......"

After speaking, Zhu Di turned his head and walked in.

Only a group of stewards who dared to be angry but did not dare to speak were left behind, and their faces were full of suffocation.

Back in the hall, Guo An stroked his palms and chuckled, "Your Highness's plan is very high. ”

Zhu Di was stunned, "What plan did we make?" ”

Guo Andao: "Originally, His Royal Highness built a academy in Beiping Mansion on a large scale, and there was a suspicion of winning over northern scholars, which would make people jealous.

However, now in front of a large number of people, he scolded all the ministers in Jingshi.

In this way, those civil servants and scholars in the south will not wait to see His Highness, and His Highness will not be feared. ”

Zhu Di's face froze, "Let's just build a academy, how can we be feared?" ”

Guo An said slowly: "Your Highness, there will be great Confucianism in the academy, and there will be thousands of civil officials and scholars who will be favored by His Highness in the future......"

Zhu Di smiled, then stared at Guo An with a solemn expression and said: "Guo Qing, you are too worried, don't say that one academy, even if it is ten academies, my father and brother will not be suspicious of us."

And we will never have thoughts that we shouldn't have, and Guo Qing can't have thoughts that shouldn't be......"

Guo An hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Highness, Weichen will devote his energy to craftsmanship in this life......

"Very good!"

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction.

Two days later.

All the visitors from Jingshi also left.

In those halls in the Yanwang Mansion, there are nearly 10,000 books of various kinds.

In the following days, carriages came from Shunde Mansion, and there were also tens of thousands of books on them.

Zhu Di couldn't help but be overjoyed.

And Guo An couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

These books are proof of the support of some scholars in the north, and even Confucianism.

……

Time flies.

The books in the main hall of the Yanwang Mansion have been piled up all over the three halls.

Five miles southwest of Beiping Mansion, a large-scale academy was also slowly built.

At the same time, more and more scholars are coming to Beiping Mansion.

After seeing the gradually rising academy, all of them were full of joy, and then they all worked hard to write and inform the teachers and friends.

Subsequently, some Confucians also gradually came to Beiping Mansion.

Naturally, as the descendant of Guo Taishi, the head of the Yanwang Mansion, Guo An was responsible for receiving these great Confucians and rural sages.

As soon as these great Confucians and rural sages gathered, they began to examine the academy in various ways, especially for Guo An.

"Guo boy, I don't know what His Royal Highness King Yan founded the academy for?"

Guo An replied respectfully: "His Royal Highness King Yan has nothing else to think about, just to enrich the people and strengthen the country, so that all the people up and down the Beiping Mansion can be literate, and all the people can get rid of ignorance......"

"Then how is His Royal Highness King Yan going to do it?"

"First let all the children of the people in Peiping Mansion be enlightened, and then let these children in Peiping Mansion complete their primary education."

"Primary education?"

It was the first time for all the great Confucians to hear this word, and they couldn't help but be curious.

"Back to the elders, Ning Yi believes that the so-called primary education is to enable all people to be literate, to learn the most basic arithmetic, and to read their favorite books at will, and they will never be harmed again......

"How is this possible?"

All the great Confucians couldn't help but widen their eyes, and their faces were full of incredulity.

"Therefore, His Royal Highness King Yan founded the academy, whether it is the heir of a poor person, or the son of a craftsman, or the son of a merchant or an official, all can enter the academy, and they are not treated equally, and they cannot be bullied......

And if they are bullied, abused, abducted and deceived by their classmates in the college, as long as they don't cause trouble, they can be punished lightly......"

"In this way, the students taught by the academy are not mixed with arowan? No distinction between superior and inferior? ”

"Farmers grow grain, artisans make it, merchants sell it, and officials manage it as a whole, except for the different powers in their hands, what is the difference between dignity and inferiority?"

"With such no thought of dignity and humility, the old man will never agree."

"Haha, the old man thinks that this kind of education method is more novel, and he likes it very much, the academy will not be in danger of his life, and when they enter the officialdom, if they are not careful, they will either go bankrupt or die."

"The strong are king, and the fittest survive. After they come out, no matter how much they know, they have to learn to protect themselves......"

"Good ......"

"Wait...... You are so radical, the academy is just a place for enlightenment, literacy and reading, bathing in the thoughts of sages, and now you are so reckless? ”

"The kid doesn't know any big truth, he only knows that there is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing.

Only when things are learned, and the unity of knowledge and action can we know the truth.

And in the long history of a country, all of them are scholars, they should establish their hearts for heaven and earth, establish their lives for the people, continue their studies for the saints, and open peace for all generations......

"Okay, what a good Mr. Hengqu is to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for the people, to continue to learn for the saints, and to open peace for all generations?"

"But, you kid are saying that we are all a bunch of old rotten people?"

"The kid doesn't dare ......"

Faced with the examination and criticism of a group of Confucians, although Guo An was dark-hearted and thick-skinned, he couldn't cope with it.

He's just a fledgling kid, how can he debate these big Confucians?

Fortunately, a team of envoys from the Goryeo Kingdom also set off from Yingtian City and came to Beiping Mansion again.

The chief envoy of Goryeo is still Li Shihou a few months ago.

"Goryeo envoy Li Shihou, see His Royal Highness King Yan."

In the carrying hall, Li Shihou led a group of Goryeo envoys to respectfully meet Zhu Di.

Zhu Di sat on the throne with a solemn face, and asked Li Shihou: "Goryeo envoy, why did you come here this time?" ”

On the left and right, there were a group of officials from the Yan Wang's Mansion, as well as some great Confucians, looking at this group of Goryeo Fanbang with an indifferent face.

Li Shihou hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness King Yan, the foreign minister came this time with the intention of my Goryeo Kingdom, and specially came to ask His Royal Highness King Yan for transparent glass technology and winter vegetable planting technology. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di seemed to have just remembered this.

"In that case, can you bring your letter of loan from the Goryeo Kingdom?"

Li Shihou looked at Zhu Di with an expectant face, "Back to His Royal Highness King Yan, the foreign minister has brought the foreign minister's country to borrow the national certificate, and I also invite His Royal Highness the Yan King to take a look." ”

As Li Shihou's words fell, the two Goryeo envoys held up a document and knelt respectfully in front of Zhu Di.

Subsequently, He Zhong stepped forward to take the document and presented it to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di opened it and saw that the loan letter was indeed covered with the seal of the king of Goryeo, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"The king of Goryeo is really sincere, so tomorrow he can go with the royal officials to learn the technology of calcining transparent glass and the technology of farming and planting vegetables."

"Thank you, Your Highness King Yan!"

All the envoys of Goryeo were grateful.

When the business was finished, a plate of field dishes full of color, aroma and aroma was served.

Everyone ate with relish.

The wine bag was full, and a big Confucian couldn't help but tilt his head and whispered: "Such food and wine, it's a luxury." ”

Guo An smiled faintly, "Yan Wangfu earns thousands of taels of silver every day, and they are all earned, and they don't scavenge any people's fat and ointment, and it is not common to eat a delicious meal." ”

"Then why do you want to lend money to Goryeo Fanbang? And for my Ming gentry and merchants, I must pay all the money? ”

Guo An said slowly: "The territory of the Goryeo Kingdom is worth the entire Beiping Mansion, plus Shanxi and Shandong, if the Goryeo Kingdom dares to repay the debt, it will need to be repaid tenfold...... And those gentry and merchants, I don't know if they can afford to pay it back? ”

"Hiss......"

The big Confucian on the left and right sides of Guo An stared directly at Zhu Di on the throne with a sincere smile on his face, and his eyes flashed.

"So, the old man of the academy has entered."

"As it should be, we Confucians have been familiar with the books of sages since childhood, and we should be like Mr. Hengqu, we should establish our hearts for heaven and earth, establish lives for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open ......peace for all generations."

Guo An didn't expect that just a meeting with the Goryeo envoys could make these great Confucians change their minds one after another.

And with the addition of these great Confucians, there are more scholars who come to Beiping Mansion.

At the same time, the renovation of the college was officially completed.

On the day the academy opened, the entire academy was crowded with people, all of whom were scholars in scarves and shirts.

For the venue of the academy, they were all full of joy.

Study, school, garden of the six arts......

The most important thing is the hundred mouths of clear spring water, the pontoon pavilion on it, and the surrounding book pavilions that are two feet high, drinking tea and reading at the same time, isn't it a fairy figure?

Moreover, the six-storey library cabinet, with 100,000 classics, is even more popular with all readers!

Even some great Confucians are greedy.
