Chapter 781 Demolition of the palace and building a school
"Junior Brother Zhang, long time no see!"
Hu Yan's voice was slightly trembling, he really missed him.
He was greeted with a solid hug. Zhang Shuning's face was full of joy. He finally met an acquaintance and friend and was able to speak his mind.
Zhang Shuning changed his habit of being aloof and talkative... He told in detail how he studied at Fudan, how he taught students, and how he led them to prepare for exams.
From morning to night, he didn't dare to rest for a moment, and only slept for two hours every day. You must know that his father had to sleep for four hours when he was assisting Zhu Yuanzhang.
If it affects your height, you'll be in trouble.
Zhang Shuning complained to his seniors and also praised them for their good summary of the questions and their analysis of the test, which was really impressive.
Hu Yandu just listened patiently. He was about to graduate. Nowadays, all schools are not so strict. As long as you pass the exam and submit your graduation thesis, everything will be fine. If you graduate early, you will be welcomed and encouraged.
After all, if you leave early, you can save some school expenses. No one is rich.
Hu Yan went north this time because he wanted to study the economic situation in Peiping.
Zhang Shuning organized a student training program, which indirectly contributed to the educational reform. He had already made it clear to Hu Yan in his letter.
Hu Yan thought that he also wanted to study something useful. Like Xia Zhifeng's astronomical measurements and calculation of solar eclipses, Hu Yan couldn't do it.
He hoped to see the situation in Peiping, because he had long advocated the development of industry and commerce and advocated the development of industry and commerce to make people rich. However, he heard from the newspaper that the left-behind department in Peiping was in financial difficulty and was in a difficult situation.
Could it be said that the more you develop, the poorer you become?
Hu Yan couldn't figure it out, so he decided to go north to have a look in person.
When he told Zhang Shuning his idea, Zhang Shuning immediately agreed. Not only did he agree, he also decided to go north with him.
Although Zhang Shuning did not reveal his identity as the grand master's son during this exam, no one is a fool. He can fight against the school and stir up trouble in the court on his own.
Anyone would have doubts and might guess some clues.
So Zhang Shuning decided to go out temporarily to avoid trouble and take a look at the situation in Peiping.
The two hit it off immediately, and they headed north together.
Hu Yan had the intention of investigating this time, so wherever he went and saw along the way, he was like a curious baby.
It took them half a month to arrive at Dagukou.
After arriving here, Hu Yan was surprised to find that there was a large area of land that was being enclosed, and it seemed that construction was about to begin.
"Good guy, this piece of land has thousands of acres. It's such a big deal!"
Zhang Shuning was also amazed, so they went to inquire about it.
After asking, the two people were even more surprised.
This is the location of Peking Normal School.
"Such a big school is much bigger than our Jimin School! If nothing else, this school in Peiping really impresses us with its style." Hu Yan sighed.
Zhang Shuning didn't think so. He knew Zhu Di too well. This guy was so happy with his success, but sometimes he was even more calculating. After all, he was taught by his father.
Besides, my father is also in Peiping, so there is no reason for Zhu Di to be extravagant and wasteful.
"Senior Brother Hu, can you guess the reason why it is set up here?"
Hu Yan was startled, and he pondered: "Is it possible that land is cheap?"
Zhang Shuning smiled and said: "This is one of them. You see, this area is close to Dagukou. The sand, stone, wood, and equipment needed to build the school can be transported here quickly. And we have seen that the workers who built the school are generally
Very short, do you know what’s going on?”
"Very short? Japanese pirate!" Hu Yan also remembered that Lan Yu made such a big dumpling, and later blackmailed the Japanese country and the Goryeo. With that guy's character of breaking bones and sucking marrow, he would never be polite.
"So, people from Japan and Korea were used to build schools for us? It can be regarded as making the best use of materials and making full use of people's talents."
Zhang Shuning was startled for a moment, then said: "I'm afraid it's not just a human being... but also a life!"
He said, pointing to a small mound in the distance.
Hu Yan looked at it for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh. Logically speaking, this is a bit much, but everyone knows that development and construction are really difficult, so just use it if you can!
Anyway, just close your eyes and pretend not to see it, that's it.
But just when Hu Yan was thinking this, suddenly a gong sounded at the pier, which was a reminder that a fleet was entering the port. The two people were curious and came over.
Sure enough, a large number of ships carrying lumber sailed into the port, and soon the workers got to work, carrying the lumber down.
The scene was very lively and spectacular, and the workers worked extremely hard. There was no other way. This was for school, the Normal College, and the talents trained in the future would all be teachers.
Whoever has no children should use this strength.
The guys were working so enthusiastically that Hu Yan almost wanted to help.
But he gradually felt something was wrong.
What's going on?
These pieces of wood are not new, they are still stained with paint, and there are faint writings on them.
Where did this come from?
Hu Yan looked at Zhang Shuning, but Zhang Shuning didn't know either... By coincidence, he found a person who jumped off the boat, and Zhang Shuning actually knew him!
Zhang Huan!
His cheap senior brother and his unrecognized clan nephew... what kind of relationship is that!
"Senior Brother Hu, he wrote to me and said that he was in the lumber business in Liaodong. What is going on now?"
Hu Yan thought for a while, "Let's go over and have a chat."
The two people came together, and Zhang Huan saw Zhang Shuning, which was called enthusiasm.
He took them to the side, found a shade tree, and made a jar of wine to quench their thirst.
"I drink this all the time on the ship. You moisten your throat first, and then wait until the wood is unloaded. I'll treat you! You can eat whatever you want!"
Zhang Shuning had a smile on his face and said, "Senior brother, what do you mean, do you think I've made a fortune?"
Zhang Huan was still a little reserved, "Nothing to say, I just do some hard work and earn some money for running errands!" This guy said politely, but after all, he was young and couldn't pretend to be serious. He finally met an acquaintance and was eager to show off.
After a while, he casually said: "Not much, only one hundred and eighty thousand."
Zhang Shuning and Hu Yan were both stunned. They could get one hundred and eighty thousand yuan in one trip. When did it become so easy to make money?
It makes no sense!
If that were the case, Zhu Di wouldn't be so depressed that he cried.
The two of them became more and more curious and kept asking questions. Zhang Huan also wanted to show off. It can be said that they hit it off immediately.
In just a few words, Zhang Huan told the truth.
This batch of wood was all removed from the Goryeo Palace, so there are traces of paint. Although it may not look like old wood, but it can be used in the palace, and it is the best thing to use to build a school.
It couldn't be better.
Hu Yan's face suddenly became embarrassed. He also said that out of sight, out of mind, now it's better. Although the people can't be seen, the wood can't be turned a blind eye!
"So you demolished other people's houses?"
Zhang Huan was stunned for a moment. He also felt that something was wrong, but he soon came up with an explanation, "General Lan ordered the demolition. He also followed Li Xianggong's wishes. Li Xianggong said that the King of Goryeo had overstepped his bounds.
With the approval of the superior state, they built a palace larger than that of the vassal king of the superior state. This was a treasonous crime. It should have been burned down, but because the people of Goryeo were small and poor, they were allowed to demolish the palace and then follow the etiquette.
, rebuilt.”
Zhang Shuning was stunned for a moment, then said: "I asked them to dismantle it, how did this wood get into the hands of senior brother?"
Zhang Huan was startled, "That's right, Xianggong Li asked them to demolish it, and then General Lan surrounded him in advance, saying that he wanted to approve where there were violations... Then General Lan took away all the gold and silver.
.We went in to remove the wood, and there were also people who removed the stones behind us. All in all, the entire palace was in violation of regulations. This is the situation. The specific situation depends on the situation."
Hu Yan and Zhang Shuning looked at each other, both speechless.
To be honest, it is really not easy to put these wonderful flowers together.
You can demolish someone else's royal palace and still be able to do so with dignity, which is simply unacceptable.
Lan Yu and Li Shanchang are both lacking in great virtue.
But looking back, if they hadn't been so shameless, it would have been really difficult to build such a big school.
After all, the two of them did not have dinner with Zhang Huan. They only said they were going to Peiping and left in a hurry.
Waiting to leave from Dagokou, we talked about it along the way.
Hu Yan also discovered some clues.
"Junior brother, do you think it is better to build the school in the city or outside?"
Zhang Shuning pondered for a moment, "I can only say that each has its own merits! The city is convenient, has a large population, and has abundant supplies. It is really convenient."
Hu Yan said: "I don't think so. Look, in a place like Dagukou, the land is cheap, and it is close to the port and there are fertile vegetable fields around it. In fact, there is no shortage of things that the school needs. Big schools have
If you want to live on campus, there is no need to covet the convenience of the city. Our Jimin Academy uses the original site of Bailudong Academy. I think that the university hall should be arranged in a small town with convenient transportation, and there will not be so much clutter.
Things. Land is cheap. If you want to build any facilities, it is easy to acquire the land and it doesn’t cost a lot of money. And teachers and students can do their studies safely and down-to-earth. Isn’t it better than in the city? "
Zhang Shuning thought for a while and said with a smile: "What senior brother said is absolutely true. In fact, according to what you think, everything including the middle school should be placed in the town!"
"Even if it is not placed in the town, it should be placed in the county seat!" Hu Yan said: "Junior brother, your Majesty, your Majesty Zhang, and your Majesty have always been afraid that the students will become like the scholar-bureaucrats in the past because they are not diligent in all aspects and have no regard for grains.
It is to place schools in the city, pampering, and it is difficult for children from poor families to enter school. They have to walk hundreds of miles, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty for them to go to school. If the schools are mainly concentrated in market towns with convenient transportation, there are also some inconspicuous ones.
It’s a small city. It’s good for students and good places.”
Zhang Shuning couldn't help but feel excited at this moment.
"Yes, senior brother is right... How about we go see my father as soon as possible! Tell him your idea as soon as possible. Now is the time to build a large-scale school. Once the site selection is completed, it will not be easy to change it."
When Hu Yan heard that he was going to see Grand Master Zhang, he was a little nervous, but he soon calmed down. He also knew that once the site was selected, there was no way to change it, and there was no time to waste...
