The Longyuan Academy in Chang'an has now become a highly respected academic resort in Guanzhong. The most praised and admired thing in the academy is its tens of thousands of volumes of books, which is the largest in Kansai.
Compared with the Northern Qi and Nanliang in the east, the Western Wei Dynasty can be said to be a cultural desert. The reason for this is not because the Kansai people do not like reading by nature, but because there are no books to read and no learning to pass on.
As the original academy was built, many academic activities in Chang'an gradually began to flourish.
Although many Guan Longhao You and Beizhen military leaders themselves had no academic knowledge, they hoped that their children, nephews and future generations could understand the classics and its meaning, so they sent their children to Longyuan Academy to study and study through various channels.
In sharp contrast to the bustling Longyuan Academy, there is Chang'an Taixue. Taixue will also recruit the disciples of meritorious officials and nobles for teaching, but the number of scholars is often only a few dozen students, and the teachings such as the "Five Classics" are taught in the school.
The annotations were also full of deviations and missing, and occasionally it was necessary to go to Longyuan Academy for verification and correction. With such a low academic level, the few apprentices were naturally lost.
On this day, a convoy came from the east and slowly drove into Longyuan Academy. This convoy consisted of more than a dozen large vehicles, and each vehicle was filled with items. However, due to the
It was wrapped in thick felt cloth and it was unclear what items were contained inside.
"These trucks are so tightly packed, are they all filled with silken things?"
Everyone is curious. After seeing this scene, the students and tourists coming in and out of the school couldn't help but talk about it. If it was an ordinary cargo, why was it packaged so tightly and carefully?
Looking at this situation, could it be that some powerful powerful man from the frontier heard about the name of Longyuan Academy and spent a lot of money to send his son to the academy?
It’s no wonder that everyone has such speculation, because not long ago, Li Xian, a wealthy family from Wonju, and others sent their children to the school with their wealth, which caused quite a sensation at the time.
However, the current generation did not ridicule and criticize Longyuan Academy for being greedy for goods. The academy is now very large, with nearly two thousand students and disciples in the academy alone.
It is true that there are many children of powerful people with rich family backgrounds and no worries about food and clothing, but there are also many ordinary people from poor families who are eager to learn. Many students and disciples from poor family backgrounds but with excellent morals and academics can receive funding from the academy.
Allowing them to continue their studies in the school without any distractions.
In addition, the various collections of books in the school are also expensive to compile, collate, copy and engrave, collect and maintain, etc. In addition, various subsidies are given to the scholars who participate in teaching, compilation and other tasks, and the daily expenses of the school are
Not too small either.
While all the disciples were still discussing and speculating about which tycoon came to promote academics and benefit the academy, another team of more than 200 knights appeared behind the motorcade, riding their horses slowly, seemingly on the same road as the motorcade in front.
"Li, General Li, it's General Li!"
Suddenly there was an exclamation in the crowd. The people next to him followed his gaze and immediately became excited. They walked forward one after another, and when they were still far apart, they shouted loudly: "General Li has returned to the country..."
When Li Tai, who was surrounded by soldiers, heard these shouts, he also rode out and waved to these excited and enthusiastic school students. But when he saw the people pouring out of the school behind him, he became more and more excited.
As I came more and more, I suddenly felt that my enthusiasm was a little too much.
Although this school is his own property, Li Tai does not come often. The last time he came here was when he and King Liang entered the court. At the suggestion of his father-in-law Duguxin, he sent Yang Zhong's son Yang Jian to enter the school. At that time, he was well received by the school.
More than two years have passed since the warm welcome from the students, and it seems that my popularity in the academy has only increased.
It was during the afternoon recess, and many students were strolling nearby. When they heard the news about General Li's arrival, they came here one after another, wanting to pay homage to this famous general in the world. For a time, the school was open to the public.
The gates became crowded, and a stampede was about to happen.
After Li Tai saw this, he hurriedly called on several of his followers to take a detour and go along the outside of the wall to the back of the academy. When many disciples from behind rushed out of the academy, they carefully distinguished the group of knights and spoke with great interest.
He asked: "Which one is General Li? I heard that General Li is extremely handsome and has unparalleled grace. These knights are a little bit indebted to him!"
Seeing the general being forced to run around the wall by the over-enthusiastic disciples, some of the guards including Feng laughed cheerfully. However, after hearing the disciples talking like this, they could no longer laugh, and some
Angry and angry, he shouted: "Spread out, everyone spread out! Don't stop the Jingzhou Governor's Office from transporting books to the academy!"
Since the unparalleled General Li was missing, all the disciples dispersed in a hurry. However, some of the particularly studious ones heard that more books had been delivered, and they were very happy and hurried to the library in the library.
, I hope to be selected by the scholars in the library to help carry and organize these newly delivered books, so that I can take this opportunity to have a sneak peek.
In the academy, although Li Tai avoided the crowds of students, he was still unable to avoid being blocked by the crowd in front of his father Li Xiao's living building in the academy.
Most of the people who came after hearing the news were bachelors from the academy. In addition to welcoming General Li home, they each had other agendas.
"I would like to ask General Li, if there is a second chapter of "The Book of Rites of Dai Dai" when I visited Liang State before, is there any clue about the matter now?"
Although Mr. Lu Bian is not young, his movements are not slow. Hearing that Li Tai came to the academy, he immediately rushed out of his small building and rushed towards Li Tai who had just dismounted. He did not have time to say hello.
Then he grabbed Li Tai's wrist and asked loudly.
Lu Bian was erudite and knowledgeable, and he wrote annotations for the "Book of Rites of the Great" when he was middle-aged. Therefore, he was praised and praised by his family and current people, which echoed the annotation of the "Book of Rites of the Little Dai" by their ancestor Lu Zhi.
But what made him more regretful was that the "Da Dai Li Ji" passed down in the Northern Dynasties was missing many chapters and was incomplete. Originally, Lu Bian was already ready to accept this regret, but when Li Tai obtained more than 100 chapters from Jiangling and Xiangyang,
After thousands of volumes of books, a fire of hope suddenly burned in his heart, hoping to find the remaining chapters and complete his academic achievements.
After learning that Li Tai had returned to Huazhou, Lu Bian asked for a leave from the court, and waited for Li Tai to come to see his father and block him to ask for books.
Before Li Tai had time to answer Lu Bian's question, Xue Chi, who was serving as the minister of Zhongshu on the other side of the court, also walked quickly and shouted loudly from a distance: "Taiyuan Gong, Taiyuan Gong, Preface to "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" Do you remember what happened?"
Soon after, people came from all directions, shouting to Li Tai to ask if they had got the classics and history books they had ordered long ago. Hearing all kinds of appeals from all directions made Li Tai's head spin.
He took a closer look at these people, and found that most of them had official positions in the imperial court, but now they were all squatting in the Longyuan Academy waiting to block him. With such neglect of duty and neglect of their duties, how could we, the Wei Dynasty, not be destroyed?
The crowd's appeal was so fervent that Li Xiao, who had returned from the school after hearing the news, had difficulty squeezing into the crowd to talk to his son. He could only stand aside and laugh.
Fortunately, several phoenixes and others escorted the books into the library and came here to ask the bachelors to sort and collect them. Li Tai got away from everyone and followed his father into the building to rest for a while.
"The people of Chang'an are eager to learn. Since you have such a convenient location, you should also listen to the appeals of the masses and work hard to promote the spread of learning from the south to the north! Although swords and arrows are sharp and can kill people, they are difficult to unite people's hearts."
After not seeing each other for a long time, Li Xiao looked at his son with great joy. He took out a set of porcelain tea sets and prepared to make tea for his son to relieve his fatigue.
Naturally, Li Tai couldn't show off in front of his father. He helped clean the tea set and said with a smile: "How could I not understand Aye's advice? I have been working on it these years, but the foolish fathers and sons of the Southern Dynasty although He does not have the wisdom to protect his homeland, but he still regards rituals, principles, classics and techniques as secrets that are not taught and cannot be sought after. The thousands of books sent back this time still contain the techniques of hundreds of schools, agricultural and industrial techniques, etc. When the time comes When they invade Jiangling next year, they will sweep away all the books from Jiangnan and spread them to the north!"
"Stop being so crazy!"
When Li Xiao heard this, he rolled his eyes at his son and scolded him lightly, but he was still proud in his heart. After a moment, he couldn't help laughing, and after a while he said again: "It's okay for you to pass on the message before. But I always feel that I might cause trouble for you. You are not aloof and conceited, but you were very excited when this happened and your words were inappropriate..."
Li Tai knew what his father was talking about. After hearing what he said, he waved his hands and said: "I am also quite disgusted with this matter. It's just that we are in the current situation, and it is inevitable that there will be many obstacles. It seems strong, but many things are difficult. Go against your will and wrong yourself. Since Aye has no intention of being an official, my current power can protect Aye from being criticized. When encountering problems, he can speak his mind freely and express his feelings with confidence. There is nothing to be afraid of!"
"What are you talking about? Are you a criminal who cannot be tolerated by justice? If you are convicted for your words, it means that the country has not tolerated justice. Isn't it the bounden duty of you and other people who are living in poverty to correct the chaos?"
Li Xiao felt quite happy when he heard his son's consolation, but soon he felt uncomfortable again, and he immediately pointed out that his son had used the wrong words.
